5 Mosebok 1

Estudio

1 Dessa äro de ord som Mose talade till hela Israel på andra sidan Jordan, i öknen, på Hedmarken mitt emot Suf, mellan Paran och Tofel, Laban, Haserot och Di-Sahab

2 -- elva dagsresor från Horeb, åt Seirs bergsbygd till, fram till Kades-Barnea.

3 I det fyrtionde året, i elfte månaden. på första dagen i månaden, talade Mose till Israels barn, alldeles såsom Herren hade bjudit honom tala till dem.

4 Detta skedde sedan han hade slagit Sihon, amoréernas konung, som bodde i Hesbon, och Og, konungen i Basan, som bodde i Astarot, vid Edrei.

5 På andra sidan Jordan. i Moabs land, begynte Mose denna lagutläggning och sade:

6 HERREN, vår Gud, talade till oss på Horeb och sade: »Länge nog haven I uppehållit eder vid detta berg.

7 Vänden eder nu åt annat håll och bryten upp, och begiven eder till amoréernas bergsbygd och till alla deras grannfolk på Hedmarken, i Bergsbygden, i Låglandet, i Sydlandet och i Kustlandet vid havet -- in i kananéernas land och upp på Libanon, ända till den stora floden, floden Frat.

8 Se, jag har givit landet i edert våld. Gån nu och intagen detta land, som HERREN med ed har lovat edra fäder, Abraham, Isak och Jakob, att giva åt dem och åt deras säd efter dem.»

9 Och jag talade till eder på den tiden och sade: »Jag förmår icke ensam bära eder.

10 HERREN, eder Gud, har förökat eder, och se, I ären nu talrika såsom stjärnorna på himmelen.

11 Herren, edra fäders Gud, än vidare föröka eder tusenfalt och välsigna eder, såsom han har lovat eder.

12 Men huru skall jag ensam kunna bära tyngden och bördan av eder och edert tvistande?

13 Utsen åt eder visa, förståndiga och välkända män inom edra särskilda stammar, så skall jag sätta dem till huvudmän över eder.»

14 I svaraden mig och saden: »Ditt förslag är gott

15 Då tog jag huvudmännen i edra stammar, visa och välkända män, och satte dem till huvudmän över eder, till föreståndare, somliga över tusen, andra över hundra, andra över femtio och somliga över tio, och till tillsyningsmän i edra särskilda stammar.

16 Och jag bjöd då också edra domare och sade: »Hören efter, vad edra bröder hava sig emellan; och om någon har en sak med sin broder eller med en främling som bor hos honom, så dömen rättvist mellan dem.

17 I skolen icke hava anseende till personen, när I dömen, utan höra den ringe likaväl dom den högre; I skolen icke frukta för någon människa, ty domen hör Gud till. Men om något ärende bliven eder för svårt, skolen I hänskjuta det till mig, så att jag för höra det.»

18 Så bjöd jag eder på den tiden allt vad I skullen göra.

19 Och vi bröto upp från Horeb, och genom hela den stora och fruktansvärda öken som I haven sett vandrande vi åstad till amoréernas bergsbygd, såsom HERREN, vår Gud, hade bjudit oss; och vi kommo så till Kades-Barnea.

20 Och jag sade till eder: »I haven nu kommit till amoréernas bergsbygd, som HERREN vår Gud, vill giva oss.

21 Se, HERREN, din Gud, har givit landet i ditt våld. Drag ditupp och intag det, såsom HERREN, dina fäders Gud, har tillsagt dig. Frukta icke och var icke förfärad.»

22 Då trädden I fram till mig allasammans och saden: »Låt oss sända åstad några män framför oss, för att de må utforska landet åt oss och sedan avgiva sin berättelse inför oss, angående vägen på vilken vi skola draga ditupp, och angående de städer som vi skola komma till.»

23 Detta förslag behagade mig, och jag tog tolv män bland eder, en för var stam.

24 Dessa begåvo sig åstad och drogo upp till Bergsbygden och kommo till Druvdalen och bespejade landet.

25 Och de togo med sig av landets frukt ned till oss och avgåvo sin berättelse inför oss och sade: »Det land som Herren, vår Gud, vill giva oss är gott

26 Men I villen icke draga ditupp, utan voren gensträviga mot HERRENS, eder Guds, befallning.

27 Och I knorraden i edra tält och saden: »Herren hatar oss, därför har han fört oss ut ur Egyptens land för att giva oss i amoréernas hand och så förgöra oss.

28 Varthän skola vi då draga? Våra bröder hava förfärat våra hjärtan, ty de säga: 'Där är ett folk, större och resligare än vi, där äro städer, stora och befästa upp mot himmelen; ja, vi sågo där också anakiter.'»

29 Då svarade jag eder: »I skolen icke förskräckas och icke frukta för dem.

30 HERREN, eder Gud, som går framför eder, skall själv strida för eder, alldeles såsom han handlade mot eder i Egypten inför edra ögon,

31 och alldeles såsom i öknen som du har sett, där HERREN, din Gud, bar dig, såsom en man bär sin son, hela den väg I haven vandrat, ända till dess att I nu haven kommit hit.»

32 Men detta oaktat trodden I icke på HERREN, eder Gud,

33 som gick framför eder på vägen, för att utse lägerplatser åt eder: om natten i eld, för att lysa eder på den väg I skullen gå, och om dagen i molnskyn.

34 Då nu HERREN hörde edra ord, blev han förtörnad och svor och sade:

35 »Sannerligen, ingen av dessa män, i detta onda släkte, skall få se det goda land som jag med ed har lovat giva åt edra fäder,

36 ingen utom Kaleb, Jefunnes son; han skall få se det, och åt honom och åt hans barn skall jag giva det land han har beträtt, därför att han i allt har efterföljt Herren

37 Också på mig vredgades HERREN, för eder skull, och sade: »Icke heller du skall komma ditin.

38 Josua, Nuns son, han som är din tjänare, han skall komma ditin. Styrk honom att vara frimodig, ty han skall utskifta landet åt Israel såsom arv.

39 Och edra barn, om vilka I saden att de skulle bliva fiendens byte, och skola komma ditin, åt dem skall jag giva landet, och de skola taga det i besittning.

40 Men I själva mån vända eder åt annat håll; bryten nu upp och tagen vägen mot öknen, åt Röda havet till.»

41 Då svaraden I och saden till mig: »Vi hava syndat mot HERREN. Vi vilja nu draga upp och strida, alldeles såsom HERREN, vår Gud, har bjudit oss.» Och I omgjordaden eder, var och en tog sina vapen, och med lätt mod drogen I upp mot bergsbygden.

42 Men HERREN sade till mig: »Säg till dem: I skolen icke draga ditupp och giva eder i strid, ty jag är icke med bland eder; gören icke så, på det att I icke mån bliva slagna av edra fiender

43 Och jag talade till eder, men I hörden icke därpå, utan voren gensträviga mot HERRENS befallning och drogen i edert övermod upp mot bergsbygden.

44 Och amoréerna som bodde där i bergsbygden drogo mot eder och jagade eder, såsom bin göra, och slogo och förskingrade eder i Seir och drevo eder ända till Horma.

45 Då vänden I tillbaka och gräten inför HERRENS ansikte. Men HERREN hörde icke eder röst och lyssnade icke till eder.

46 Och I stannaden länge i Kades, så länge det nu var.

1769. A certain spirit came to me not long after his departure from the body, as I was able to infer from the fact that he did not yet know that he was in the other life, but supposed that he was living in the world. It was perceived that he had been devoted to studies, concerning which I spoke with him. But he was suddenly taken up on high; and, surprised at this, I imagined that he was one of those who aspire to high things, for such are wont to be taken up on high; or else that he placed heaven at a great height, for such likewise are often carried up on high, that they may know from experience that heaven is not in what is high, but in what is internal.

[2] But I soon perceived that he was taken up to the angelic spirits, who were in front, a little to the right, at the entrance to heaven. He then spoke with me from thence, saying that he saw things more sublime than human minds could at all comprehend. While this was taking place, I was reading the first chapter of Deuteronomy, about the Jewish people, in that men were sent to explore the land of Canaan and what was in it. While I was reading this, he said that he perceived nothing of the sense of the letter, but the things in the spiritual sense, and that these were wonders which he could not describe. This was in the first entrance to the heaven of angelic spirits; what wonders then would be perceived in that heaven itself! and what in the angelic heaven!

[3] Certain spirits who were with me, and who before had not believed that the Word of the Lord is of such a nature, then began to repent of their unbelief; they said, in that state, that they believed because they heard the spirit say that he heard, saw, and perceived that it was so.

[4] But other spirits still persisted in their unbelief, and said that it was not so, but that these things were fancies; and therefore they too were suddenly taken up, and spoke with me from thence; and they confessed that it was anything but fancy, because they really perceived that it was so; and by a more exquisite perception indeed than can ever be given to any sense during the life of the body.

[5] Soon others also were taken up into the same heaven, and among them one whom I had known in the life of the body, who testified to the same effect, saying also, among other things, that he was too much amazed to be able to describe the glory of the Word in its internal sense. Then, speaking from a kind of pity, he said that it was strange that men knew nothing at all of such things. He said further that from where he then was he could look most deeply into my thoughts and my affections, and perceived in them more things than he could tell; such as causes, influxes, whence they came, and from whom; the ideas, and how they were mixed with earthly things, and that these were to be wholly separated; besides other things.

Deuteronomy 1

Estudio

1 These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah over against Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.

2 It is eleven days' [journey] from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea.

3 It happened in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke to the children of Israel, according to all that Yahweh had given him in commandment to them;

4 after he had struck Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth, at Edrei.

5 Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,

6 "Yahweh our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, You have lived long enough in this mountain:

7 turn, and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites, and to all [the places] near there, in the Arabah, in the hill country, and in the lowland, and in the South, and by the seashore, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.

8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their seed after them."

9 I spoke to you at that time, saying, "I am not able to bear you myself alone:

10 Yahweh your God has multiplied you, and behold, you are this day as the stars of the sky for multitude.

11 Yahweh, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are, and bless you, as he has promised you!

12 How can I myself alone bear your encumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?

13 Take wise men of understanding and well known according to your tribes, and I will make them heads over you."

14 You answered me, and said, "The thing which you have spoken is good [for us] to do."

15 So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers, according to your tribes.

16 I commanded your judges at that time, saying, Hear [the causes] between your brothers, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the foreigner who is living with him.

17 You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike; you shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.

18 I commanded you at that time all the things which you should do.

19 We traveled from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw, by the way to the hill country of the Amorites, as Yahweh our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh Barnea.

20 I said to you, "You have come to the hill country of the Amorites, which Yahweh our God gives to us.

21 Behold, Yahweh your God has set the land before you: go up, take possession, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has spoken to you; don't be afraid, neither be dismayed."

22 You came near to me everyone of you, and said, "Let us send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, and the cities to which we shall come."

23 The thing pleased me well; and I took twelve men of you, one man for every tribe:

24 and they turned and went up into the hill country, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out.

25 They took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, "It is a good land which Yahweh our God gives to us."

26 Yet you wouldn't go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh your God:

27 and you murmured in your tents, and said, "Because Yahweh hated us, he has brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.

28 Where are we going up? our brothers have made our heart to melt, saying, 'The people are greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to the sky; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.'"

29 Then I said to you, "Don't dread, neither be afraid of them.

30 Yahweh your God who goes before you, he will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes,

31 and in the wilderness, where you have seen how that Yahweh your God bore you, as a man does bear his son, in all the way that you went, until you came to this place."

32 Yet in this thing you didn't believe Yahweh your God,

33 who went before you in the way, to seek you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way you should go, and in the cloud by day.

34 Yahweh heard the voice of your words, and was angry, and swore, saying,

35 "Surely not one of these men of this evil generation shall see the good land, which I swore to give to your fathers,

36 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh: he shall see it; and to him will I give the land that he has trodden on, and to his children, because he has wholly followed Yahweh."

37 Also Yahweh was angry with me for your sakes, saying, "You also shall not go in there:

38 Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, he shall go in there: encourage you him; for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.

39 Moreover your little ones, whom you said should be a prey, and your children, who this day have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there, and to them will I give it, and they shall possess it.

40 But as for you, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea."

41 Then you answered and said to me, "We have sinned against Yahweh, we will go up and fight, according to all that Yahweh our God commanded us." Every man of you put on his weapons of war, and presumed to go up into the hill country.

42 Yahweh said to me, "Tell them, 'Don't go up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest you be struck before your enemies.'"

43 So I spoke to you, and you didn't listen; but you rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hill country.

44 The Amorites, who lived in that hill country, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even to Hormah.

45 You returned and wept before Yahweh; but Yahweh didn't listen to your voice, nor gave ear to you.

46 So you stayed in Kadesh many days, according to the days that you stayed [there].
