1 ثم ارجعني الى مدخل البيت واذا بمياه تخرج من تحت عتبة البيت نحو المشرق لان وجه البيت نحو المشرق. والمياه نازلة من تحت جانب البيت الايمن عن جنوب المذبح.

2 ثم اخرجني من طريق باب الشمال ودار بي في الطريق من خارج الباب الخارجي من الطريق الذي يتجه نحو المشرق واذا بمياه جارية من الجانب الايمن.

3 وعند خروج الرجل نحو المشرق والخيط بيده قاس الف ذراع وعبّرني في المياه والمياه الى الكعبين.

4 ثم قاس الفا وعبّرني في المياه والمياه الى الركبتين. ثم قاس الفا وعبّرني والمياه الى الحقوين.

5 ثم قاس الفا واذا بنهر لم استطع عبوره لان المياه طمت مياه سباحة نهر لا يعبر.

6 وقال لي أرأيت يا ابن آدم. ثم ذهب بي وارجعني الى شاطئ النهر.

7 وعند رجوعي اذا على شاطئ النهر اشجار كثيرة جدا من هنا ومن هناك.

8 وقال لي هذه المياه خارجة الى الدائرة الشرقية وتنزل الى العربة وتذهب الى البحر. الى البحر هي خارجة فتشفى المياه.

9 ويكون ان كل نفس حية تدب حيثما يأتي النهران تحيا ويكون السمك كثيرا جدا لان هذه المياه تأتي الى هناك فتشفى ويحيا كل ما يأتي النهر اليه.

10 ويكون الصيادون واقفين عليه من عين جدي الى عين عجلايم يكون لبسط الشباك ويكون سمكهم على انواعه كسمك البحر العظيم كثيرا جدا.

11 اما غمقاته وبركه فلا تشفى. تجعل للملح.

12 وعلى النهر ينبت على شاطئه من هنا ومن هناك كل شجر للأكل لا يذبل ورقه ولا ينقطع ثمره. كل شهر يبكر لان مياهه خارجة من المقدس ويكون ثمره للاكل وورقه للدواء

13 هكذا قال السيد الرب. هذا هو التخم الذي به تمتلكون الارض بحسب اسباط اسرائيل الاثني عشر. يوسف قسمان.

14 وتمتلكونها احدكم كصاحبه التي رفعت يدي لاعطي آباءكم اياها وهذه الارض تقع لكم نصيبا.

15 وهذا تخم الارض. نحو الشمال من البحر الكبير طريق حثلون الى المجيء الى صدد

16 حماة وبيروثة وسبرائم التي بين تخم دمشق وتخم حماة وحصر الوسطى التي على تخم حوران.

17 ويكون التخم من البحر حصر عينان تخم دمشق والشمال شمالا وتخم حماة وهذا جانب الشمال.

18 وجانب الشرق بين حوران ودمشق وجلعاد وارض اسرائيل الاردن. من التخم الى البحر الشرقي تقيسون. وهذا جانب المشرق.

19 وجانب الجنوب يمينا من ثامار الى مياه مريبوث قادش النهر الى البحر الكبير وهذا جانب اليمين جنوبا.

20 وجانب الغرب البحر الكبير من التخم الى مقابل مدخل حماة. وهذا جانب الغرب.

21 فتقتسمون هذه الارض لكم لاسباط اسرائيل.

22 ويكون انكم تقسمونها بالقرعة لكم وللغرباء المتغربين في وسطكم الذين يلدون بنين في وسطكم فيكونون لكم كالوطنيين من بني اسرائيل. يقاسمونكم الميراث في وسط اسباط اسرائيل.

23 ويكون انه في السبط الذي فيه يتغرب غريب هناك تعطونه ميراثه يقول السيد الرب

Apocalypse Revealed＃486

この節の研究

486. And the angel stood by, saying, "Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there." This symbolizes the Lord's presence and His command to see and learn the state of the church in the New Heaven.

The Lord is meant by the angel, here as in nos. 5, 415, and elsewhere, since an angel does nothing of himself but is impelled by the Lord. That is why the angel said, "I will give power to my two witnesses" (verse 3), when they were the Lord's witnesses. The angel's standing by symbolizes the Lord's presence, and his speaking symbolizes the Lord's command. To rise and measure means, symbolically, to see and learn. We will see below that to measure means, symbolically, to learn and investigate the character of a state.

The temple, altar, and those who worship there symbolize the state of the church in the New Heaven - the temple symbolizing the church in respect to its doctrinal truth (no. 191), the altar symbolizing the church in respect to the goodness of its love (no. 392), and those who worship there symbolizing the church in respect to its formal worship as a result of those two elements. Those who worship symbolize here the reverence that is a part of formal worship, since the spiritual sense is a sense abstracted from persons (nos. 78, 79, 96), as is apparent here also from the fact that John is told to measure the worshipers. These three elements are what form the church: doctrinal truth, goodness of love, and formal worship as a result of these.

[2] That the church meant is the church in the New Heaven is apparent from the last verse of this chapter, where we are told that "the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple" (verse 19).

This chapter begins with the measuring of the temple in order that the state of the church in heaven might be seen and learned before its conjunction with the church in the world. The church in the world is meant by the court outside the temple, which John was not to measure, because it had been given to the gentiles (verse 2). The same church is then described by the great city called Sodom and Egypt (verses 7, 8). But after that great city fell (verse 13), it follows that the church became the Lord's (verses 15ff.).

It should be known that the church exists in the heavens just as on earth, and that the two are united like the inner and outer selves in people. Consequently the Lord provides the church in heaven first, and from it, or by means of it, then the church on earth. That is why the New Jerusalem is said to come down from God out of the New Heaven (Revelation 21:1-2).

The New Heaven means a new heaven formed from Christians, as described several times in the following chapters.

[3] To measure means, symbolically, to learn and investigate the character of a thing because the measure of something symbolizes its character or state. All the measurements of the New Jerusalem (chapter 21) have this symbolic meaning, as does the statement there that the angel who had the gold reed measured the city and its gates, and that he measured the wall to be one hundred and forty-four cubits, the measure of a man which is that of an angel (verses 15, 17). Moreover, because the New Jerusalem symbolizes the New Church, is it apparent that to measure it and its component parts means, symbolically, to learn its character.

Measuring has the same symbolic meaning in Ezekiel, where we read that an angel measured the house of God: the temple, the altar, the court, and the chambers (Ezekiel 40:3-17; 41:1-5, 13-14, 22; 42:1-20, and 43:1-27). Also that he measured the waters (47:3-5, 9). Therefore the prophet is told:

...show the temple to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and they shall measure the pattern... and... its exits and its entrances, and all its patterns..., so that they may keep its whole design... (Ezekiel 43:10-11)

Measuring has the same symbolic meaning in the following places:

I raised my eyes..., 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...." (Zechariah 2:1-2)

He stood and measured the earth. (Habakkuk 3:6)

(The Lord Jehovih) has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, and gauged heaven with a span... and weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance. (Isaiah 40:12)

Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? ...Who determined its measurements? ...Or who stretched the line upon it? (Job 38:4-5)

Ezekiel 43

勉強

   

1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east.

2 Behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shined with his glory.

3 It was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.

4 The glory of Yahweh came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.

5 The Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of Yahweh filled the house.

6 I heard one speaking to me out of the house; and a man stood by me.

7 He said to me, Son of man, [this is] the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. The house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their prostitution, and by the dead bodies of their kings [in] their high places;

8 in their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their doorpost beside my doorpost, and there was [but] the wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed: therefore I have consumed them in my anger.

9 Now let them put away their prostitution, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me; and I will dwell in the midst of them forever.

10 You, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.

11 If they be ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, and its fashion, and its exits, and its entrances, and all its forms, and all its ordinances, and all its forms, and all its laws; and write it in their sight; that they may keep the whole form of it, and all its ordinances, and do them.

12 This is the law of the house: on the top of the mountain the whole limit around it shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

13 These are the measures of the altar by cubits (the cubit is a cubit and a handbreadth): the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and its border around its edge a span; and this shall be the base of the altar.

14 From the bottom on the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.

15 The upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns.

16 The altar hearth shall be twelve [cubits] long by twelve broad, square in the four sides of it.

17 The ledge shall be fourteen [cubits] long by fourteen broad in the four sides of it; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and its bottom shall be a cubit around; and its steps shall look toward the east.

18 He said to me, Son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.

19 You shall give to the priests the Levites who are of the seed of Zadok, who are near to me, to minister to me, says the Lord Yahweh, a young bull for a sin offering.

20 You shall take of its blood, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border all around: thus you shall cleanse it and make atonement for it.

21 You shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and it shall be burnt in the appointed place of the house, outside of the sanctuary.

22 On the second day you shall offer a male goat without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse it with the bull.

23 When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.

24 You shall bring them near to Yahweh, and the priests shall cast salt on them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to Yahweh.

25 Seven days you shall prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bull, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.

26 Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it; so shall they consecrate it.

27 When they have accomplished the days, it shall be that on the eighth day, and forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings on the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, says the Lord Yahweh.
