1 A ovo su imena plemenima. Od kraja prema severu, uz put etlonski kako se ide u Emat i Asarenan, na među damaštansku na sever pokraj Emata, od istočne strane do zapadne, Danovo, jedno.

2 A uz među Danovu, od istočne strane do zapadne, Asirovo, jedno.

3 A uz među Asirovu, od istočne strane do zapadne, Neftalimovo, jedno.

4 A uz među Neftalimovu, od istočne strane do zapadne, Manasijino, jedno.

5 A uz među Manasijinu, od istočne strane do zapadne, Jefremovo, jedno.

6 A uz među Jefremovu, od istočne strane do zapadne, Ruvimovo, jedno.

7 A uz među Ruvimovu, od istočne strane do zapadne, Judino, jedno.

8 A uz među Judinu, od istočne strane do zapadne, neka bude prinos što ćete prineti, dvadeset i pet hiljada lakata u širinu, a u dužinu kao koji drugi deo, od istočne strane do zapadne, i svetinja da bude usred njega.

9 Prinos koji ćete prineti Gospodu, neka bude od dvadeset i pet hiljada lakata u dužinu i od deset hiljada u širinu.

10 I taj će sveti prinos biti sveštenicima, sa severa dvadeset i pet hiljada lakata u dužinu, a sa zapada deset hiljada u širinu, i s istoka deset hiljada u širinu, a s juga dvadeset i pet hiljada u dužinu; i svetinja Gospodnja da bude usred njega.

11 To će biti sveštenicima posvećenim između sinova Sadokovih koji držaše šta sam naredio da se drži i ne zađoše kao drugi Leviti, kad zađoše sinovi Izrailjevi.

12 Njihov će biti sveti prinos od zemlje, svetinja nad svetinjama, uz međe levitske.

13 A Leviti da imaju uz međe svešteničke dvadeset i pet hiljada lakata u dužinu, i deset hiljada u širinu; sva dužina da bude dvadeset i pet hiljada, a širina deset hiljada.

14 A od toga ništa da ne prodaju ni promenjuju, ni da prenose prvina zemaljskih, jer je svetinja Gospodu.

15 A pet hiljada lakata što ostaje u širinu prema dvadeset i pet hiljada biće mesto posvećeno, za grad, za naselje, i za podgrađa, i grad da bude usred njega.

16 A ovo da mu je mera: sa severne strane četiri hiljada i pet stotina lakata, i s južne strane četiri hiljada i pet stotina, i s istočne strane četiri hiljada i pet stotina, i sa zapadne strane četiri hiljada i pet stotina.

17 I podgrađe će biti dvesta i pedeset lakata sa severa, i dvesta i pedeset s juga, i dvesta i pedeset s istoka, i dvesta i pedeset sa zapada.

18 A šta ostane u dužinu prema svetom prinosu, deset hiljada lakata na istok i deset hiljada na zapad, prema svetom prinosu, od toga dohodak neka bude hrana slugama gradskim.

19 A sluge koje će služiti gradu biće iz svih plemena Izrailjevih.

20 Sav ovaj prinos, dvadeset i pet hiljada lakata uz dvadeset i pet hiljada, četvrtast, prineće u prinos sveti za dostojanje gradu.

21 A šta ostane s obe strane svetom prinosu i dostojanju gradskom, prema dvadeset i pet hiljada lakata prinosa do međe istočne, i sa zapada prema dvadeset i pet hiljada lakata duž zapadne međe prema delovima, to da je kneževo; tako će sveti prinos i svetinja doma biti u sredi.

22 A od dostojanja levitskog i od dostojanja gradskog, usred onog što je kneževo, između međe Judine i međe Venijaminove, da je kneževo.

23 A ostala plemena biće: od istočne strane do zapadne strane Venijaminovo, jedno;

24 A uz među Venijaminovu, od istočne strane do zapadne, Simeunovo, jedno;

25 A uz među Simeunovu, od istočne strane do zapadne, Isaharovo, jedno;

26 A uz među Isaharovu, od istočne strane do zapadne, Zavulonovo, jedno;

27 A uz među Zavulonovu, od istočne strane do zapadne, Gadovo, jedno;

28 A uz među Gadovu s južne strane, na jug, međa je od Tamara do vode Merive u Kadisu, duž potoka do velikog mora.

29 To je zemlja koju ćete žrebom razdeliti plemenima Izrailjevim u nasledstvo, i to su im delovi, govori Gospod Gospod.

30 A ovo su krajevi gradu: sa severne strane četiri hiljada i pet stotina lakata da bude mera;

31 A vrata gradska da se nazovu imenima plemena Izrailjevih, troja vrata sa severa: jedna vrata Ruvimova, jedna vrata Judina, jedna vrata Levijeva;

32 I s istočne strane četiri hiljada i pet stotina lakata, i troja vrata: jedna vrata Josifova, jedna vrata Venijaminova, jedna vrata Danova;

33 I s južne strane četiri hiljada i pet stotina lakata da bude mera, i troja vrata: jedna vrata Simeunova, jedna vrata Isaharova, jedna vrata Zavulonova;

34 Sa zapadne strane četiri hiljada i pet stotina lakata, i troja vrata: jedna vrata Gadova, jedna vrata Asirova, jedna vrata Neftalimova.

35 Unaokolo će biti osamnaest hiljada lakata, a ime će gradu od tog dana biti: Gospod je tu.

Name

  

According to Swedenborg, a person's name in the Bible represents his or her entire spiritual nature, their whole state of love (good or evil) and thought (from heavenly wisdom to infernal insanity). This is why the name of the Lord is so important; it represents and embodies His perfect love and perfect wisdom, which is everything that we should worship and follow. It's easy to see that names are important in the Bible. Jehovah changed Abram and Sarai to Abraham and Sarah, changed Jacob to Israel and included in the Ten Commandments the order that believers "shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain." In the New Testament, Zacharias was told to name John the Baptist "John," and both Joseph (Matthew 1:21) and Mary (Luke 1:31) were told to name Jesus "Jesus." Jesus himself renamed Simon as Peter, and included the phrase "hallowed be thy name" in the Lord's prayer.

10253. 'Five hundred [shekels]' means what is complete. This is clear from the meaning of the number 'five hundred' as what is complete. The reason why 'five hundred' has this meaning is that this number is the product of five multiplied by ten tens, or fives times a hundred; and 'five' means much, as do 'ten' and 'a hundred', and therefore 'five hundred' means what is complete.

'Five' means much, see 5708, 5956, 9102, as likewise does 'ten', 3107, 4638, and also 'a hundred', 4400, 6582, 6594.

All numbers in the Word mean spiritual realities, see in the places referred to in 9488.

Compound numbers have a similar meaning to the simple ones that give rise to them through multiplication, 5291, 5335, 5708, 7973.

[2] The fact that numbers mean spiritual realities is perfectly clear in Ezekiel, where the house of God, together with everything there inside and outside, and also the new earth or land, are measured and are described by numbers pertaining to measure, in Chapters 40-48. By the new land there the Church should be understood, and by the house of God its holiness. The same is so in John, in the Book of Revelation, where also a new Jerusalem is described by the numbers where measurements are given, by which too a new Church should be understood. Unless the numbers had meant spiritual realities all those measurements would have been pointless.

[3] 'Five hundred' means the whole from one end to the other, thus what is complete. This is clear from those chapters in Ezekiel,

He measured outside the house (or the temple), to the east quarter five hundred rods round about, to the north quarter five hundred rods round about, to the south quarter five hundred rods, and to the west quarter 1 five hundred rods. Its wall round about, the length was five hundred rods, and the breadth five hundred rods, to distinguish between the holy and the profane. Ezekiel 42:15-20.

From these words it is evident that 'five hundred' means the whole in its entirety, or everything holy from one end to the other, thus what is complete; for it says that the wall, which - according to this account of its length and breadth - formed a square, served to distinguish the holy from the profane.

[4] 'Five hundred' also means much, while a tenth of that number or fifty means some. This is clear from the Lord's words addressed to Simon, in Luke,

Jesus said, There were two debtors who had a certain creditor. One owed five hundred denarii, but the other fifty. When they did not have [anything with which] to repay, he forgave them both. Which of the two loves him more? Simon answered, The one to whom he forgave more. Jesus said, So have the many sins of the woman been forgiven, because she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, [that person] loves little. Luke 7:41-end.

The reason why the Lord used those numbers was that they meant much and some; for He spoke from a Divine [perspective], thus used words carrying a spiritual meaning, in accord with correspondences. The same is so everywhere else, as when He spoke about the virgins, of whom - He said - there were ten, and that five were wise and five were foolish. He spoke of ten because that number means all, that is to say, all who belong to the Church, and of five because this number means some, see 4637, 4638.
