5 Mosebok 31

1 Og Moses gikk frem og talte disse ord til hele Israel -

2 han sa til dem: Jeg er idag hundre og tyve år gammel, jeg kan ikke mere gå ut og inn som før, og Herren har sagt til mig: Du skal ikke komme over Jordan her.

3 Herren din Gud vil selv dra frem foran dig, han vil utrydde disse folk for dig, så du kan ta deres land i eie; Josva han skal dra frem foran dig, således som Herren har sagt.

4 Og Herren skal gjøre med dem som han gjorde med Sihon og Og, amorittenes konger, dengang han gjorde ende på dem og ødela deres land.

5 Og Herren skal gi dem i eders vold; og I skal gjøre med dem aldeles som jeg har befalt eder.

6 Vær frimodige og sterke, frykt ikke og reddes ikke for dem! For Herren din Gud går selv med dig, han skal ikke slippe dig og ikke forlate dig.

7 Og Moses kalte Josva til sig og sa til ham så hele Israel hørte det: Vær frimodig og sterk! For du skal dra inn med dette folk i det land som Herren tilsvor deres fedre å ville gi dem; og du skal skifte det ut til arv mellem dem.

8 Og Herren, han som drar foran dig, han skal være med dig - han skal ikke slippe dig og ikke forlate dig; du skal ikke frykte og ikke reddes.

9 skrev Moses op denne lov og overgav den til prestene, Levis sønner, som bar Herrens pakts-ark, og til alle de eldste i Israel.

10 Og Moses bød dem og sa: Hvert syvende år, i eftergivelsesåret, på løvsalenes høitid,

11 når hele Israel møter frem for å vise sig for Herrens, din Guds åsyn på det sted han utvelger, da skal du lese op denne lov for hele Israel så de hører på det.

12 Kall folket sammen, mennene og kvinnene og barna og de fremmede som bor i dine byer, så de kan høre det og lære å frykte Herren eders Gud og akte vel på å holde alle ordene i denne lov,

13 og deres barn som ikke kjenner den, kan få høre den og lære å frykte Herren eders Gud alle de dager I lever i det land som I nu drar til over Jordan og skal ta i eie.

14 Og Herren sa til Moses: Se, nu lider det mot den dag du skal ; kall på Josva og still eder frem ved sammenkomstens telt, forat jeg kan gi ham mine befalinger. Og Moses og Josva gikk frem og stilte sig ved sammenkomstens telt.

15 Da åpenbarte Herren sig ved teltet i en skystøtte, og skystøtten stod ved inngangen til teltet.

16 Og Herren sa til Moses: Når du hviler hos dine fedre, da vil dette folk komme til å holde sig med de fremmede guder i det land de kommer inn i, og de vil forlate mig og bryte min pakt, som jeg har gjort med dem.

17 Den dag skal min vrede optendes mot dem, og jeg vil forlate dem og skjule mitt åsyn for dem, så de går til grunne, og mangfoldige ulykker og trengsler kommer over dem. Og de skal si på den dag: Er det ikke fordi min Gud ikke er med mig at disse ulykker er kommet over mig?

18 Men jeg vil på den dag skjule mitt åsyn for dem, fordi de har gjort så meget ondt og vendt sig til andre guder.

19 Så skriv nu op for eder denne sang* og lær Israels barn den, legg den i deres munn, så den kan være et vidne for mig mot Israels barn. / {* 5MO 32, 1 fg.}

20 For jeg vil føre dem inn i det land som jeg har tilsvoret deres fedre, et land som flyter med melk og honning, og når de har ett og er blitt mette og fete, da skal de vende sig til andre guder og dyrke dem og forakte mig og bryte min pakt.

21 Når da mange ulykker og trengsler kommer over dem, da skal denne sang lyde for dem som et vidne - den skal ikke glemmes hos dem som kommer efter, og ikke dø i deres munn. For jeg kjenner de tanker som de går med allerede nu, før jeg fører dem inn i det land jeg har tilsvoret dem.

22 Samme dag skrev Moses op denne sang og lærte Israels barn den.

23 Og han* bød Josva, Nuns sønn, og sa: Vær frimodig og sterk! For du skal føre Israels barn inn i det land jeg har tilsvoret dem, og jeg vil være med dig. / {* Herren.}

24 Da Moses var ferdig med å skrive denne lovs ord i en bok helt til enden,

25 bød han levittene, som bar Herrens pakts-ark, og sa:

26 Ta denne lovens bok og legg den ved siden av Herrens, eders Guds pakts-ark! Der skal den ligge som et vidne mot dig.

27 For jeg kjenner din gjenstridighet og din stive nakke; se, ennu idag mens jeg lever og er iblandt eder, har I vært gjenstridige mot Herren; hvor meget mere da efter min død!

28 Kall nu sammen til mig alle de eldste i eders stammer og eders tilsynsmenn, så vil jeg tale disse ord for dem og ta himmelen og jorden til vidne mot dem.

29 For jeg vet at efter min død vil I forderve eders vei og vike av fra den vei jeg har befalt eder å vandre, og ulykken skal komme over eder i de siste dager, fordi I gjør det som er ondt i Herrens øine, og egger ham til vrede med eders henders verk.

30 Derefter fremsa Moses denne sang, fra begynnelsen til enden, for hele Israels menighet.

9857. And thou shalt make a breastplate of judgment. That this signifies that which has regard to Divine truth shining forth from Divine good, is evident from the signification of “the breastplate,” as being Divine truth shining forth from the Divine good of the Lord in ultimates (see n. 9823). It is called “a breastplate of judgment,” because it gave answers, and thereby revealed Divine truth. Moreover, by “judgment” in the Word is signified Divine truth, consequently doctrine and life according to doctrine. From this then it is that this breastplate is called “a breastplate of judgment,” and also “judgment,” in what follows in this chapter — “Aaron shall carry the judgment of the sons of Israel upon his heart before Jehovah continually” (verse 30). And when Joshua was chosen to be leader over the people, it is said, “he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of Urim before Jehovah” (Numbers 27:21).

[2] That “judgment” denotes Divine truth and the intelligence thence derived, consequently that it denotes doctrine and life according to doctrine, is evident from many passages in the Word; as from the following, in Isaiah:

The vineyard of Jehovah Zebaoth is the house of Israel. He looked for judgment but behold an abscess; for righteousness, but behold a cry (Isaiah 5:7).

“To look for judgment” denotes intelligence from Divine truth, and a life according to the commandments. Again:

He sat upon a throne in truth, in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment (Isaiah 16:5);

speaking of the coming of the Lord; “the throne upon which He was to sit” denotes the Divine truth proceeding from Him, and hence the spiritual kingdom (see n. 2129, 5313, 6397, 8625, 9039); “to judge judgment” denotes to teach Divine truth, and “to seek judgment” denotes its reception with man.

[3] Again:

In that day shall Jehovah be for a diadem of ornament to the remains of the people; and for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth upon judgment (Isaiah 28:5-6)

“A diadem of ornament,” when said of Jehovah, that is, the Lord, denotes Divine intelligence (see above, n. 9828); and “the spirit of judgment” denotes wisdom from Divine truth (n. 9818); “he that sitteth upon judgment” denotes one who instructs about Divine truth, that is, teaches it. Again:

Jehovah hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness (Isaiah 33:5);

“Zion” denotes the celestial church; “being filled with judgment” denotes intelligence from Divine truth, and “being filled with righteousness” denotes wisdom from Divine good.

[4] Again:

Who hath directed the Spirit of Jehovah? With whom took He counsel, that he might make Him intelligent, and instruct Him in the way of judgment, and teach Him knowledge, and show Him the way of intelligence? (Isaiah 40:13-14);

“the Spirit of Jehovah” denotes the Divine truth (n. 9818); that “instructing Him in the way of judgment” denotes to render Him knowing, intelligent, and wise, is plain.

In Jeremiah:

The stork in heaven knoweth her appointed times, but the people of Jehovah know not the judgment of Jehovah. How say ye, We are wise, and the law of Jehovah is with us? (Jeremiah 8:7-8).

Here “not to know the judgment of Jehovah” denotes not to know Divine truth, from which is wisdom; therefore it is said, “how say ye, We are wise?”

[5] Again:

Woe to him that buildeth his house without righteousness, and his chambers without judgment (Jeremiah 22:13);

“to build chambers without judgment” denotes to be imbued with things not true.

In Hosea:

I will betroth thee to Me forever in righteousness and in judgment, and I will betroth thee to Me in truth (Hosea 2:19-20).

“To betroth in judgment” denotes to conjoin by means of Divine truth, thus by means of faith and a life of faith.

In Amos:

Let judgment flow like water, and righteousness as a mighty torrent (Amos 5:24).

Ye turn judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood (Amos 6:12); where also “judgment” denotes intelligence from Divine truth, and the consequent life.

[6] In Zephaniah:

In the morning will Jehovah give His judgment for light (Zephaniah 3:5);

“to give judgment for light” denotes to reveal Divine truth.

In Moses:

All the ways of Jehovah are judgment (Deuteronomy 32:4).

In David:

Thy truth, O Jehovah, reacheth unto the skies; Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God; Thy judgments are a great deep (Psalms 36:5-6).

Jehovah shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday (Psalms 37:6).

Hear my voice according to Thy mercy; O Jehovah, quicken me according to Thy judgments (Psalms 119:149).

In these passages “judgment,” and “judgments,” denote Divine truth.

[7] In Luke:

Woe unto you Pharisees, ye pass by judgment and the love of God; these ought ye to do (Luke 11:42).

“To pass by the judgment of God” denotes to pass by Divine truth; and “to pass by the love of God” denotes to pass by Divine good, and the life from both. As life also is meant, it is said “these things ought ye to do.”

In Isaiah:

Jehovah Zebaoth shall be exalted in judgment, and God shall be sanctified in righteousness (Isaiah 5:16).

Upon the throne of David, to establish the kingdom in judgment and in righteousness, from henceforth and even forever (Isaiah 9:7).

Bring forth counsel, do ye judgment; make thy shadow like the night in the midst of the noonday (Isaiah 16:3);

“to do judgment” denotes to act according to Divine truth.

[8] In Jeremiah:

I will raise unto David a righteous branch, and He shall do judgment and righteousness in the earth (Jeremiah 23:5; 33:15).

If a man be righteous, and do judgment and righteousness, and walk in My statutes, and keep My judgments, to do the truth; he is righteous, he shall surely live (Ezekiel 18:5, 9).

Seek ye Jehovah, all ye meek of the earth, who have done His judgment (Zephaniah 2:3).

“To do the judgment of God” denotes to do the Divine truth, that is, to do according to it.

In Isaiah:

I have put My Spirit upon Him, He shall bring forth judgment to the nations. He shall not extinguish, nor break, till He have set Judgment in the earth (Isaiah 42:1, 4);

speaking of the Lord; “to bring forth judgment to the nations,” and “to set judgment in the earth” denotes to teach Divine truth, and set it up in the church.

[9] Again:

A law shall go forth from Me, and I will raise up My judgment for a light of the peoples (Isaiah 51:4); where “judgment” denotes Divine truth, “for a light of the peoples” denotes for enlightenment.

In John:

For judgment I am come into this world, that those who see not may see; and that those who see may become blind (John 9:39).

“To come into the world for judgment” denotes to reveal Divine truth, which causes those to see who are wise from the Lord, and those to be blind who are wise from themselves, thus who pass for being learned.

[10] In Jeremiah:

Swear by the living Jehovah in truth, in judgment, and righteousness (Jeremiah 4:2).

There is none that judgeth judgment for health; thou hast no medicines for recovery (Jeremiah 30:13).

In David:

Righteousness and judgment are the support of Thy throne; mercy and truth are before Thy faces (Psalms 89:14); where “righteousness” denotes the good which is of mercy; and “judgment” the truth which is of faith; wherefore it is said, “mercy and truth.”

In Ezekiel:

Jerusalem hath changed My judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and My statutes more than the lands; therefore I will do judgments on thee in the eyes of the nations, and I will scatter all thy remains (Ezekiel 5:6-8, 10, 15).

“To change judgments” denotes the truths which are of the civil state (that these are signified by “judgments,” when “statutes” also are mentioned, see n. 8972); but “doing judgments” denotes to judge either to death, which is damnation; or to life, which is salvation. Salvation or damnation is also signified by “judgment,” where “the day of judgment,” or “hour of judgment,” is mentioned (Matthew 11:22, 2 11:24; 12:36, 41-42; Luke 10:14; 11:31-32; John 5:28-29; Revelation 14:7; 18:10); the same is also signified by “judgment,” where the office of a judge is treated of (Matthew 5:21-22; 7:1-2; 23:14, 33; John 5:24, 26-27; 7:24; 8:15-16; 12:31, 47-48; Luke 6:37; 12:13-14, 56-57; 19:21-22, 2 19:27; 20:47; 22:30; Mark 12:40; Isaiah 41:1; 3:14; Jeremiah 25:31; 48:21; Joel 3:12; Psalms 7:8-9; 9:4, 7-8; Leviticus 19:15; Deuteronomy 1:16-17; 25:1; Revelation 17:1 18:10; 20:12-13).
