1 Y ESTA es la bendición con la cual bendijo Moisés varón de Dios á los hijos de Israel, antes que muriese.

2 Y dijo: Jehová vino de Sinaí, Y de Seir les esclareció; Resplandeció del monte de Parán, Y vino con diez mil santos: A su diestra la ley de fuego para ellos.

3 Aun amó los pueblos; Todos sus santos en tu mano: Ellos también se llegaron á tus pies: Recibieron de tus dichos.

4 Ley nos mandó Moisés, Heredad á la congregación de Jacob.

5 Y fué rey en Jeshurun, Cuando se congregaron las cabezas del pueblo Con las tribus de Israel.

6 Viva Rubén, y no muera; Y sean sus varones en número.

7 Y esta bendición para Judá. Dijo así: Oye, oh Jehová, la voz de Judá, Y llévalo á su pueblo; Sus manos le basten, Y tú seas ayuda contra sus enemigos.

8 Y a Leví dijo: Tu Thummim y tu Urim, con tu buen varón Al cual tentaste en Massa, Y le hiciste reñir en las aguas de la rencilla;

9 El que dijo á su padre y á su madre: Nunca los vi: Ni conoció á sus hermanos, Ni conoció á sus hijos: Por lo cual ellos guardarán tus palabras, Y observarán tu pacto.

10 Ellos enseñarán tus juicios á Jacob, Y tu ley á Israel; Pondrán el perfume delante de ti, Y el holocausto sobre tu altar.

11 Bendice, oh Jehová, lo que hicieren, Y recibe con agrado la obra de sus manos: Hiere los lomos de sus enemigos, Y de los que le aborrecieren; para que nunca se levanten.

12 Y á Benjamín dijo: El amado de Jehová habitará confiado cerca de él: Cubrirálo siempre, Y entre sus hombros morará.

13 Y á José dijo: Bendita de Jehová su tierra, Por los regalos de los cielos, por el rocío, Y por el abismo que abajo yace,

14 Y por los regalados frutos del sol, Y por los regalos de las influencias de las lunas,

15 Y por la cumbre de los montes antiguos, Y por los regalos de los collados eternos,

16 Y por los regalos de la tierra y su plenitud; Y la gracia del que habitó en la zarza Venga sobre la cabeza de José, Y sobre la mollera del apartado de sus hermanos.

17 El es aventajado como el primogénito de su toro, Y sus cuernos, cuernos de unicornio: Con ellos acorneará los pueblos juntos hasta los fines de la tierra: Y estos son los diez millares de Ephraim, Y estos los millares de Manasés.

18 Y á Zabulón dijo: Alégrate, Zabulón, cuando salieres: Y tu Issachâr, en tus tiendas.

19 Llamarán los pueblos al monte: Allí sacrificarán sacrificios de justicia: Por lo cual chuparán la abundancia de los mares, Y los tesoros escondidos de la arena.

20 Y a Gad dijo: Bendito el que hizo ensanchar á Gad: Como león habitará, Y arrebatará brazo y testa.

21 Y él se ha provisto de la parte primera, Porque allí una porción del legislador fuéle reservada, Y vino en la delantera del pueblo; La justicia de Jehová ejecutará, Y sus juicios con Israel.

22 Y á Dan dijo: Dan, cachorro de león: Saltará desde Basán.

23 Y á Nephtalí dijo: Nephtalí, saciado de benevolencia, Y lleno de la bendición de Jehová, Posee el occidente y el mediodía,

24 Y á Aser dijo: Bendito Aser en hijos: Agradable será á sus hermanos, Y mojará en aceite su pie.

25 Hierro y metal tu calzado, Y como tus días tu fortaleza.

26 No hay como el Dios de Jeshurun, Montado sobre los cielos para tu ayuda, Y sobre las nubes con su grandeza.

27 El eterno Dios es tu refugio Y acá abajo los brazos eternos; El echará de delante de ti al enemigo, Y dirá: Destruye.

28 E Israel, fuente de Jacob, habitará confiado solo En tierra de grano y de vino: También sus cielos destilarán rocío.

29 Bienaventurado tú, oh Israel, ¿Quién como tú, Pueblo salvo por Jehová, Escudo de tu socorro, Y espada de tu excelencia? Así que tus enemigos serán humillados, Y tú hollarás sobre sus alturas.

8753. They came into the wilderness of Sinai. That this signifies a state of good in which truths of faith were to be implanted, is evident from the signification of “the wilderness of Sinai,” as being a state of good in which truths of faith are to be implanted. “The wilderness” here denotes good in which truths have not yet been implanted; and “Sinai” denotes the truths themselves. For a “wilderness” has several significations (see n. 3900); in general it signifies what is uninhabited and uncultivated, thus in the spiritual sense, good in which as yet there are no truths, for good without truths is spiritually uncultivated; consequently a “wilderness” signifies a new will that as yet has not been formed by means of the truths of faith (n. 8457).

[2] As regards “Mount Sinai,” it signifies in the supreme sense Divine truth from Divine good; “mountain,” Divine good; and “Sinai,” Divine truth. In the internal sense it signifies the truth of faith from good, here the truth of faith that is to be implanted in good, because the law had not yet been promulgated from it. “Mount Sinai” has these significations because the law was promulgated by the Lord from thence, and “the law” denotes Divine truth from Divine good, and also the truth of faith from good (n. 6752, 7463, 8695). For this reason it was that the sons of Israel encamped in the wilderness near that mountain, for from it were promulgated not only the ten commandments, which are “the law” in a close sense, but also all the statutes of the church, which contained in themselves, because they represented, the spiritual and celestial truths and goods of the Lord’s kingdom. That the law was promulgated from thence, is evident from the following chapter, and that so also were the statutes of the church, from the succeeding chapters, and also from Leviticus 7:37-38; 27:34. The same is signified by “Sinai” in David:

O God, when Thou wentest forth before Thy people, when Thou didst march in the wilderness; the earth trembled, the heavens also dripped before God; this Sinai before God, the God of Israel. Thou, O God, makest to drip the rain of Thy benevolences (Psalms 68:7-9).

Here “Sinai” denotes the truth that is from good, for such is the signification of “the heavens dripping before God,” and of “God making to drip the rain of His benevolences.”

[3] In the book of Judges:

Jehovah, when Thou wentest forth out of Seir, when Thou camedst forth out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens also dripped, the clouds also dripped waters, the mountains flowed down before Jehovah, Sinai itself before Jehovah the God of Israel. In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the ways ceased, and they that walked in paths went through crooked ways, the roads ceased in Israel; they ceased until I Deborah arose, until I arose a mother in Israel (Judg. 5:4-7).

Here also “Sinai” denotes the law or Divine truth from Divine good, by virtue of which the truths of faith were implanted in its good, which things are also signified by “the heavens dripped,” and “the clouds dripped waters;” that the truths of faith were lacking and were perverted, is signified by “the ways ceased, and they that walked in paths went through crooked ways” (that “ways,” “paths,” and “roads” denote truths, see n. 627, 2333, 3123, 3477); for the subject treated of in this prophetic song, which is the song of Deborah and Barak, is the perversion of the truth of the church, and its restitution.

[4] In Moses:

Jehovah came from Sinai, He rose up from Seir to them; He shone forth from Mount Paran, and He came from the ten thousands of holiness, from His right hand was the fire of the law to them (Deuteronomy 33:2).

in this chapter the sons of Jacob are blessed by Moses before his death, who begins the prophetic utterance of his blessing with “Jehovah came from Sinai,” and by “Sinai” are here signified the truths of faith in the complex. That he begins in this way is because by “the sons of Jacob” are signified all the truths and goods of faith (n. 3858, 3862, 3926, 3939, 6335); and in like manner by “the sons of Israel” (n. 5414, 5951, 5879).

6335. And Jacob called his sons. That this signifies the setting in order of the truths of faith and goods of love in the natural, is evident from the signification of “calling,” as being to set in order, for the reason of calling them together was that the truths of faith and goods of charity might be presented in this orderly arrangement; and from the representation of Jacob and his sons, as being the truths of faith and goods of love in the natural. (That Jacob represents these in general, may be seen, n. 3509, 3525, 3546, 3659, 3669, 3677, 3775, 3829, 4234, 4273, 4337, 5506, 5533, 5535, 6001, 6236; and also his sons, or the tribes named from them, the same in particular, n. 3858, 3926, 3939, 4060.) As regards the setting in order of the truths of faith and of the goods of love, which is here signified, and is presented in the internal sense in this chapter, be it known that the twelve tribes of Israel represented in general all truths and goods in one complex, thus all the truths and goods which proceed from the Lord, and consequently those which are in heaven, and of which heaven consists. And because they are all represented in general, they are also represented severally in particular; for generals contain in them particulars, as wholes contain parts.

[2] The lights in heaven are varied in accordance with the goods and the derivative truths, and the states of intelligence and wisdom, in accordance with the lights; and it was from this that the light sparkled and quivered through the Urim and Thummim, and this with variety in accordance with the state of the matter about which the interrogation was made. This took place because the twelve tribes, by which were signified all truths and goods in general, were marked on that breastplate, that is, on the Urim and Thummim, for there was a single precious stone for each tribe. The reason why they were precious stones was that they signified spiritual and celestial truths (n. 114, 3720); and the gold in which they were set signified good (see n. 113, 1551, 1552, 5658). This is the secret that was signified by the Urim and Thummim.

[3] That the twelve tribes had such a signification, is plain from the passages in the Word where they are mentioned; especially from the inheritance of the tribes in the land of Canaan, described in Joshua, and from their inheritance in the Lord’s kingdom, described in the last chapters of Ezekiel, where we read of the new earth, the new Jerusalem, and the new temple; and in John in Revelation (Revelation 7:4-8); also from the order in which they encamped in the wilderness, which was of such a nature that they thereby represented truths and goods in their genuine order. Hence the prophetic utterance of Balaam:

When Balaam lifted up his eyes, and saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes, the spirit of God came upon him. And he gave forth an enunciation, and said, How good are thy tabernacles O Jacob! thy habitations O Israel! As the valleys are they planted, as gardens beside the river, as sandalwood trees which Jehovah hath planted, as cedars beside the waters (Numbers 24:2-6).

(See also the things shown about the tribes and their ordering in n. 2129, 3858, 3862, 3926, 3939, 4060, 4603)
