民數記 21

Studija

   

1 地的迦人亞拉得王,以色列人從亞他林,就和以色列人爭戰,擄了他們幾個人。

2 以色列人耶和華發願:你若將這民交付我,我就把他們的城邑盡行毀滅。

3 耶和華應允了以色列人,把迦南人交付他們,他們就把迦南人和迦南人的城邑盡行毀滅。那地方的名便何珥瑪(何珥瑪就是毀滅的意思)。

4 他們從何珥起行,往紅那條走,要繞過以東。百姓因這難行,心中甚是煩躁,

5 就怨讟摩西:你們為甚麼把我們埃及領出來、使我們在曠野呢?這裡沒有糧,沒有我們的心厭惡這淡薄的食物。

6 於是耶和華使火進入百姓中間,就咬他們。以色列人死了許多

7 百姓到摩西那裡,我們怨讟耶和華和你,有罪了。求你禱告耶和華,叫這些離開我們。於是摩西為百姓禱告。

8 耶和華摩西:你製造一條火蛇,掛在杆子上;凡被咬的,一望這蛇,就必得活。

9 摩西便製造一條銅,掛在杆子上;凡被咬的,一望這銅就活了。

10 以色列人起行,安營在阿伯。

11 又從阿伯起行,安營在以耶亞巴琳,與摩押相對的曠野,向日出之地。

12 從那裡起行,安營在撒烈谷。

13 從那裡起行,安營在亞嫩河那邊。這亞嫩河是在曠野,從亞摩利的境界流出來的;原來亞嫩河是摩押邊界,在摩押和亞摩利人搭界的地方。

14 所以耶和華的戰記上:蘇法的哇哈伯與亞嫩的谷,

15 並向亞珥城眾谷的下坡,是靠近摩押的境界。

16 以色列人從那裡起行,到了比珥(比珥就是的意思)。從前耶和華吩咐摩西:招聚百姓,我他們喝,的就是這

17 當時,以色列人唱歌說:阿,湧上水來!你們要向這

18 是首領和民中的尊貴人用圭用杖所所掘的。以色列人從曠野往瑪他拿去,

19 從瑪他拿到拿哈列,從拿哈列到巴末,

20 從巴末到了摩押地的谷,又到那下望曠野之毘斯迦的山頂。

21 以色列人差遣使者去見亞摩利人的王西宏,說:

22 求你容我們從你的經過;我們不偏入田間和葡萄園,也不裡的,只走大道(原文作王道),直到過了你的境界。

23 西宏不容以色列人從他的境界經過,就招聚他的眾民出到曠野,要攻擊以色列人,到了雅雜與以色列人爭戰。

24 以色列人用刀殺了他,得了他的,從亞嫩河到雅博河,直到亞捫人的境界,因為亞捫人的境界多有堅壘。

25 以色列人奪取這一切的城邑,也亞摩利人的城邑,就是希實本與希實本的一切鄉村。

26 這希實本是亞摩利王西宏的京城;西宏曾與摩押的先王爭戰,從他中奪取了全,直到亞嫩河。

27 所以那些作詩歌的:你們到希實本;願西宏的城被修造,被建立

28 因為有從希實本發出,有燄出於西宏的城,燒盡摩押的亞珥和亞嫩河邱壇的祭司(祭司原文作主)。

29 摩押阿,你有禍了!基抹的民哪,你們滅亡了!基抹的男子逃奔,女子被擄,交付亞摩利的王西宏。

30 我們射了他們;希實本直到底本盡皆毀滅。我們使地變成荒場,直到挪法;這挪法直延到米底巴。

31 這樣,以色列人在亞摩利人之

32 摩西打發人去窺探雅謝,以色列人就佔了雅謝的鎮市,趕出那裡的亞摩利人。

33 以色列人回,向巴珊去。巴珊王噩和他的眾民都出來,在以得來與他們交戰。

34 耶和華摩西:不要他!因我已將他和他的眾民,並他的,都交在你中;你要待他像從前待希實本的亞摩利王西宏一般。

35 於是他們殺了他和他的眾子,並他的眾民,沒有留下一個,就得了他的

Apocalypse Explained #728

/ 1232  
  

728. And her child was caught up unto God and His throne.- That this signifies the protection of the doctrine by the Lord, because it is for the New Church, is evident from the signification of the child or male child, which was brought forth by the woman who was encompassed with the sun, under whose feet was the moon, and on whose head was a crown of twelve stars, as denoting doctrine from the Word, and in fact the doctrine of truth, that is, the doctrine of love to the Lord and of charity towards the neighbour, and lastly of faith; and from the signification of being caught up unto God and His throne, as denoting protection by the Lord from the dragon, that stood before the woman who was about to bring forth, with the intention and desire of devouring that which should be brought forth. Such protection by the Lord against those who are meant by the dragon is signified here by these words. And as that doctrine is to be the doctrine of the church which is called the New Jerusalem, therefore it is said to be protected because it is for the New Church. It is said, "Caught up unto God and His throne," God meaning the Lord, and His throne heaven; it is caught up unto the Lord and to heaven, because that doctrine is from the Lord, and heaven is in that doctrine.

[2] An expression is also used of Enoch, the son of Jared, similar to that applied here to the child born of the woman, which it is said "was caught up unto God," but in these words "Enoch walked with God, and was no more, because God took him" (Genesis 5:24). Who are meant by this Enoch, and what Enoch signifies has been disclosed to me from heaven, namely, that they were those of the Most Ancient Church who collected together the representatives and correspondences of natural things with spiritual. For the men of the Most Ancient Church had a spiritual understanding and perception of all things which they saw with their eyes, and thus from the objects in the world they clearly perceived the spiritual things to which they corresponded. And because the Lord foresaw that this spiritual perception would perish with their posterity, and with this perception also the knowledge of correspondences, through which the human race has conjunction with heaven, therefore the Lord provided that some of those who lived among the most ancient people should make a compilation of correspondences and reduce them to book form (in codicem conferrent); these are meant by Enoch, and it is this book that is here signified. Because this book was to furnish the coming churches, to be established by the Lord after the deluge, with a knowledge (scientia) and cognition of what is spiritual in natural things, therefore it was preserved by the Lord for their use, and also guarded lest the final posterity of the Most Ancient Church, who were evil, should do injury to it. This therefore is the signification, in the spiritual sense, of Enoch being no more, because God took him. From these things it is evident what is signified by the child of the woman being caught up unto God and His throne.
