1 Και οταν κληρονητε την γην εις κληρονομιαν, θελετε χωρισει μεριδα εις τον Κυριον, μεριδα αγιαν εκ της γης· το μηκος θελει εισθαι μηκος εικοσιπεντε χιλιαδων καλαμων και το πλατος δεκα χιλιαδων· τουτο θελει εισθαι αγιον κατα παντα τα ορια αυτου κυκλω.

2 Εκ τουτου θελουσιν εισθαι δια το αγιαστηριον πεντακοσιαι κατα μηκος με πεντακοσιας κατα πλατος, τετραγωνον κυκλω, και πεντηκοντα πηχαι κυκλω δια τα προαστεια αυτου.

3 Κατα τουτο λοιπον το μετρον θελεις μετρησει μηκος εικοσιπεντε χιλιαδων και πλατος δεκα χιλιαδων, και εν τουτω θελει εισθαι το αγιαστηριον, το αγιον των αγιων.

4 Τουτο θελει εισθαι εκ της γης, αγια μερις δια τους ιερεις, τους λειτουργουντας εν τω αγιαστηριω, τους πλησιαζοντας δια να λειτουργωσιν εις τον Κυριον· και θελει εισθαι εις αυτους τοπος δια οικιας και τοπος αγιος δια το αγιαστηριον.

5 Και εικοσιπεντε χιλιαδας μηκους και δεκα χιλιαδας πλατους θελουσιν εχει οι Λευιται δι' εαυτους, οι υπηρεται του οικου, δια ιδιοκτησιαν μετα εικοσι θαλαμων.

6 Και θελετε δωσει δια ιδιοκτησιαν της πολεως πεντε χιλιαδας πλατους και εικοσιπεντε χιλιαδας μηκους πλησιον της αγιας μεριδος· τουτο θελει εισθαι δι' απαντα τον οικον Ισραηλ·

7 και δια τον αρχοντα θελει εισθαι μερις εντευθεν και εκειθεν της αγιας μεριδος και της ιδιοκτησιας της πολεως, κατα προσωπον της αγιας μεριδος και κατα προσωπον της ιδιοκτησιας της πολεως, απο του δυτικου προς δυσμας και απο του ανατολικου προς ανατολας· και το μηκος θελει εισθαι πλησιον μιας εκαστης των μεριδων, απο του δυτικου οριου προς το ανατολικον οριον.

8 Εις γην θελει εισθαι εις αυτον η ιδιοκτησια, εν τω Ισραηλ· και οι αρχοντες μου δεν θελουσι πλεον καταβλιβει τον λαον μου· το υπολοιπον δε της γης θελουσι δωσει εις τον οικον Ισραηλ κατα τας φυλας αυτων.

9 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Αρκει εις εσας, αρχοντες του Ισραηλ· απομακρυνατε την βιαν και αρπαγην και καμνετε κρισιν και δικαιοσυνην· σηκωσατε τας καταδυναστειας σας απο του λαου μου, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος.

10 Δικαιαν πλαστιγγα θελετε εχει και δικαιον εφα και δικαιον βαθ.

11 Το εφα και το βαθ θελουσιν εισθαι του αυτου μετρου, ωστε το βαθ να περιλαμβανη το δεκατον του χομορ και το εφα το δεκατον του χομορ· το μετρον αυτου θελει εισθαι κατα το χομορ.

12 Και ο σικλος θελει εισθαι εικοσι γερα· εικοσι σικλοι, εικοσιπεντε σικλοι, δεκαπεντε σικλοι, θελει εισθαι η μνα σας.

13 Η υψουμενη προσφορα, την οποιαν θελετε προσφερει, ειναι αυτη· Το εκτον του εφα ενος χομορ σιτου· και θελετε διδει το εκτον του εφα ενος χομορ κριθης.

14 Περι δε του διαταγματος του ελαιου, ενος βαθ ελαιου, θελετε προσφερει το δεκατον του βαθ δια εν κορ, το οποιον ειναι εν χομορ εκ δεκα βαθ· διοτι δεκα βαθ ειναι εν χομορ.

15 Και εκ του ποιμνιου εν προβατον απο των διακοσιων, απο των παχειων βοσκων του Ισραηλ, δια προσφοραν εξ αλφιτων και δια ολοκαυτωμα και δια ειρηνικας προσφορας, δια να καμνη εξιλεωσιν υπερ αυτων, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος.

16 Πας ο λαος της γης θελει διδει ταυτην την υψουμενην προσφοραν εις τον αρχοντα εν τω Ισραηλ.

17 Εις δε τον αρχοντα ανηκει να διδη τα ολοκαυτωματα και τας εξ αλφιτων προσφορας και τας σπονδας, εν ταις εορταις και εν ταις νεομηνιαις και εν τοις σαββασι κατα πασας τας πανηγυρεις του οικου Ισραηλ· αυτος θελει ετοιμαζει την περι αμαρτιας προσφοραν και την εξ αλφιτων προσφοραν και το ολοκαυτωμα και τας ειρηνικας προσφορας, δια να καμνη εξιλεωσιν υπερ του οικου Ισραηλ.

18 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Εν τω πρωτω μηνι, τη πρωτη του μηνος, θελεις λαμβανει μοσχον βοος αμωμον και θελεις καθαριζει το αγιαστηριον·

19 και ο ιερευς θελει λαμβανει απο του αιματος της περι αμαρτιας προσφορας και θελει θετει επι τους παραστατας του οικου και επι τας τεσσαρας γωνιας της οφρυος του θυσιαστηριου και επι τους παραστατας της πυλης της εσωτερας αυλης.

20 Και ουτω θελεις καμνει τη εβδομη του μηνος υπερ παντος αμαρτανοντος εξ αγνοιας και υπερ του απλου· ουτω θελετε καμνει εξιλεωσιν υπερ του οικου.

21 Εν τω πρωτω μηνι, τη δεκατη τεταρτη ημερα του μηνος, θελει εισθαι εις εσας το πασχα, εορτη επτα ημερων· αζυμα θελουσι τρωγει.

22 Και κατ' εκεινην την ημεραν ο αρχων θελει ετοιμαζει υπερ εαυτου και υπερ παντος του λαου της γης μοσχον δια προσφοραν περι αμαρτιας.

23 Και εν ταις επτα ημεραις της εορτης θελει καμνει ολοκαυτωματα εις τον Κυριον, επτα μοσχους και επτα κριους αμωμους καθ' ημεραν εν ταις επτα ημεραις, και τραγον εξ αιγων καθ' ημεραν δια προσφοραν περι αμαρτιας.

24 Και θελει ετοιμαζει προσφοραν εξ αλφιτων ενος εφα δια τον μοσχον και ενος εφα δια τον κριον και ενος ι ελαιου εις το εφα.

25 Εν τω εβδομω μηνι, τη δεκατη πεμπτη ημερα του μηνος, θελει καμνει εν τη εορτη κατα τα αυτα επτα ημερας, κατα την προσφοραν την περι αμαρτιας, κατα τα ολοκαυτωματα και κατα την εξ αλφιτων προσφοραν και κατα το ελαιον.

904. 21:15 And he who talked with me had a gold reed to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. This symbolically means that to people who possess the goodness of love, the Lord grants a faculty for understanding and knowing the nature of the Lord's New Church as regards its doctrine and its introductory truths, and as regards the Word from which they are drawn.

He who spoke with me symbolizes the Lord speaking from heaven, because it was an angel speaking, one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls mentioned in verse 9, who means the Lord speaking from heaven (no. 895). A reed symbolizes a power or ability springing from the goodness of love - a reed symbolizing power or ability (no. 485), and gold the goodness of love (nos. 211, 726). To measure means, symbolically, to learn the character of a thing, thus to understand and know it (no. 486). The city, the holy Jerusalem, symbolizes the church in respect to its doctrine (nos. 879, 880). Its gates symbolize concepts of truth and goodness from the Word's literal sense, which are truths and goods owing to the spiritual life in them (no. 899). And the wall symbolizes the Word in its literal sense from which the doctrine and concepts come (no. 898).

It is apparent from this that "he who talked with me had a gold reed to measure the city, its gates, and its wall," symbolically means that to people who possess the goodness of love, the Lord grants a faculty for understanding and knowing the nature of the Lord's New Church as regards its doctrine and its introductory truths, and as regards the Word from which they are drawn.

[2] These symbolic meanings cannot be seen at all in the literal sense, for one sees in it only that an angel speaking with John had a gold reed with which to measure the city and its gates and wall. But even so, that these words contain another meaning, a spiritual meaning, is clearly apparent from the fact that the city Jerusalem does not mean a real city, but the church. Consequently everything said about Jerusalem as a city symbolizes such things as have to do with the church, and everything having to do with the church is, in itself, spiritual.

Such a spiritual meaning is present also in what is said in chapter 11 above, where we are told the following:

I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood by, saying, "Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there." (Revelation 11:1)

A similar spiritual meaning is present, too, in everything that the angel measured with a reed in Ezekiel 40; 41; 42; 43; 44; 45; 46; 47; 48. Also in these verses in Zechariah:

I raised my eyes and looked, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand. So I said, "Where are you going?" And he said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see what its width is and what its length." (Zechariah 2:1-2)

Indeed, such a spiritual meaning is present in everything connected with the Tabernacle and in everything connected with the Temple in Jerusalem, whose measurements we are told, and also in the measurements themselves. And yet nothing of this can be seen in the literal sense.

Ezekiel 47

Studija

   

1 He brought me back to the door of the house; and behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward; (for the forefront of the house was toward the east;) and the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, on the south of the altar.

2 Then he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me round by the way outside to the outer gate, by the way of [the gate] that looks toward the east; and behold, there ran out waters on the right side.

3 When the man went forth eastward with the line in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the ankles.

4 Again he measured one thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the knees. Again he measured one thousand, and caused me to pass through [the waters], waters that were to the waist.

5 Afterward he measured one thousand; [and it was] a river that I could not pass through; for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed through.

6 He said to me, Son of man, have you seen [this]? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the bank of the river.

7 Now when I had returned, behold, on the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.

8 Then he said to me, These waters issue forth toward the eastern region, and shall go down into the Arabah; and they shall go toward the sea; into the sea [shall the waters go] which were made to issue forth; and the waters shall be healed.

9 It shall happen, that every living creature which swarms, in every place where the rivers come, shall live; and there shall be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters are come there, and [the waters of the sea] shall be healed, and everything shall live wherever the river comes.

10 It shall happen, that fishermen shall stand by it: from En Gedi even to En Eglaim shall be a place for the spreading of nets; their fish shall be after their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.

11 But the miry places of it, and its marshes, shall not be healed; they shall be given up to salt.

12 By the river on its bank, on this side and on that side, shall grow every tree for food, whose leaf shall not wither, neither shall its fruit fail: it shall bring forth new fruit every month, because its waters issue out of the sanctuary; and its fruit shall be for food, and its leaf for healing.

13 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: This shall be the border, by which you shall divide the land for inheritance according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph [shall have two] portions.

14 You shall inherit it, one as well as another; for I swore to give it to your fathers: and this land shall fall to you for inheritance.

15 This shall be the border of the land: On the north side, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, to the entrance of Zedad;

16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazer Hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran.

17 The border from the sea, shall be Hazar Enon at the border of Damascus; and on the north northward is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.

18 The east side, between Hauran and Damascus and Gilead, and the land of Israel, shall be the Jordan; from the [north] border to the east sea you shall measure. This is the east side.

19 The south side southward shall be from Tamar as far as the waters of Meriboth Kadesh, to the brook [of Egypt], to the great sea. This is the south side southward.

20 The west side shall be the great sea, from the [south] border as far as over against the entrance of Hamath. This is the west side.

21 So you shall divide this land to you according to the tribes of Israel.

22 It shall happen, that you shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you and to the aliens who live among you, who shall father children among you; and they shall be to you as the native-born among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.

23 It shall happen, that in what tribe the stranger lives, there you shall give him his inheritance, says the Lord Yahweh.
