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 46

勉強

   

1 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: The gate of the inner court that looks toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the Sabbath day it shall be opened, and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened.

2 The prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate outside, and shall stand by the post of the gate; and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.

3 The people of the land shall worship at the door of that gate before Yahweh on the Sabbaths and on the new moons.

4 The burnt offering that the prince shall offer to Yahweh shall be on the Sabbath day six lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish;

5 and the meal offering shall be an ephah for the ram, and the meal offering for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

6 On the day of the new moon it shall be a young bull without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram; they shall be without blemish:

7 and he shall prepare a meal offering, an ephah for the bull, and an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs according as he is able, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

8 When the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go forth by its way.

9 But when the people of the land shall come before Yahweh in the appointed feasts, he who enters by the way of the north gate to worship shall go forth by the way of the south gate; and he who enters by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate by which he came in, but shall go forth straight before him.

10 The prince, when they go in, shall go in with of them; and when they go out, he shall go out.

11 In the feasts and in the solemnities the meal offering shall be an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

12 When the prince shall prepare a freewill offering, a burnt offering or peace offerings as a freewill offering to Yahweh, one shall open for him the gate that looks toward the east; and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he does on the Sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate.

13 You shall prepare a lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering to Yahweh daily: morning by morning you shall prepare it.

14 You shall prepare a meal offering with it morning by morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of a hin of oil, to moisten the fine flour; a meal offering to Yahweh continually by a perpetual ordinance.

15 Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meal offering, and the oil, morning by morning, for a continual burnt offering.

16 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: If the prince give a gift to any of his sons, it is his inheritance, it shall belong to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance.

17 But if he give of his inheritance a gift to one of his servants, it shall be his to the year of liberty; then it shall return to the prince; but as for his inheritance, it shall be for his sons.

18 Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance, to thrust them out of their possession; he shall give inheritance to his sons out of his own possession, that my people not be scattered every man from his possession.

19 Then he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy rooms for the priests, which looked toward the north: and behold, there was a place on the hinder part westward.

20 He said to me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, [and] where they shall bake the meal offering; that they not bring them forth into the outer court, to sanctify the people.

21 Then he brought me forth into the outer court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and behold, in every corner of the court there was a court.

22 In the four corners of the court there were courts enclosed, forty [cubits] long and thirty broad: these four in the corners were of one measure.

23 There was a wall around in them, around the four, and boiling places were made under the walls all around.

24 Then he said to me, These are the boiling houses, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
