1 A Lévita-papoknak, a Lévi egész nemzetségének ne legyen se része, se öröksége Izráellel, hanem éljenek az Úrnak tüzes áldozatjaiból és örökségébõl.

2 Annakokáért ne legyen néki öröksége az õ atyjafiai között: Az Úr az õ öröksége, a mint megmondotta néki.

3 És ez legyen a papoknak törvényes része a néptõl, azoktól, a kik áldoznak akár ökörrel, akár juhval, hogy a papnak adják a lapoczkát, a két állat és a gyomrot.

4 A te gabonád, mustod és olajod zsengéjét, és a te juhaid gyapjának zsengéjét néki adjad;

5 Mert õt választotta ki az Úr, a te Istened minden te nemzetséged közül, hogy álljon szolgálatra az Úrnak nevében, õ és az õ fiai minden idõben.

6 Mikor pedig eljön a Lévita valamelyikbõl a te egész Izráelben lévõ kapuid közül, a hol õ lakik, és bemegy az õ lelkének teljes kívánsága szerint arra a helyre, a melyet kiválaszt az Úr:

7 Szolgáljon az Úrnak az õ Istenének nevében, mint az õ többi atyjafiai, a Léviták, a kik ott állanak az Úr elõtt.

8 Az eledelekben egyenlõképen részesedjenek, kivéve azt, a mit eladott valaki az õ atyai örökségébõl.

9 Mikor te bemégy arra a földre, a melyet az Úr, a te Istened ád néked: ne tanulj cselekedni azoknak a népeknek útálatosságai szerint.

10 Ne találtassék te közötted, a ki az õ fiát vagy leányát átvigye a tûzön, se jövendõmondó, se igézõ, se jegymagyarázó, se varázsló;

11 Se bûbájos, se ördöngõsöktõl tudakozó, se titok-fejtõ, se halottidézõ;

12 Mert mind útálja az Úr, a ki ezeket míveli, és ez ilyen útálatosságokért ûzi ki õket az Úr, a te Istened te elõled.

13 Tökéletes légy az Úrral, a te Isteneddel.

14 Mert ezek a nemzetek, a kiket te elûzesz, igézõkre és jövendõmondókra hallgatnak; de tenéked nem engedett ilyet az Úr, a te Istened.

15 Prófétát támaszt néked az Úr, a te Istened te közüled, a te atyádfiai közül, olyat mint én: azt hallgassátok!

16 Mind a szerint, amint kérted az Úrtól, a te Istenedtõl a Hóreben a gyülekezésnek napján mondván: Ne halljam többé az Úrnak, az én Istenemnek szavát, és ne lássam többé ezt a nagy tüzet, hogy meg ne haljak!

17 Az Úr pedig monda nékem: Jól mondták a mit mondtak.

18 Prófétát támasztok nékik az õ atyjokfiai közül, olyat mint te, és az én ígéimet adom annak szájába, és megmond nékik mindent, a mit parancsolok néki.

19 És ha valaki nem hallgat az én ígéimre, a melyeket az én nevemben szól, én megkeresem azon!

20 De az a próféta, a ki olyat mer szólani az én nevemben, a mit én nem parancsoltam néki szólani, és a ki idegen istenek nevében szól: haljon meg az a próféta.

21 Ha pedig azt mondod a te szívedben: miképen ismerhetjük meg az ígét, a melyet nem mondott az Úr?

22 Ha a próféta az Úr nevében szól, és nem lesz meg, és nem teljesedik be a dolog: ez az a szó, a melyet nem az Úr szólott; elbizakodottságból mondotta azt a próféta; ne félj attól!

9808. 'From the midst of the children of Israel' means in heaven and in the Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'Israel' as those who belong to the Church, thus in the abstract sense the Church itself, dealt with in 4286, 6426, 6637, 6862, 6868, 7035, 7062, 7198, 7201, 7215, 7223, 8805, 9340. And since 'Israel' means the Church it also means heaven; for heaven and the Church make one, and also the Church is the Lord's heaven on earth. Every member of the Church furthermore has heaven within himself when truth and at the same time good which come from the Lord reside in him.

9327. 'I will send My terror before you' means the terror felt, on account of truths springing from good, by those immersed in evils arising from falsity. This is clear from the meaning of 'terror' as the terror felt by those immersed in evils that arise from falsity; and from the meaning of 'the children of Israel', before whom the terror would be sent, as those governed by spiritual good, which is truth springing from good, dealt with in 5803, 5806, 5812, 5817, 5819, 5826, 5833, 7957, 8234, 8805. The nations in the land of Canaan who would feel terror on account of the children of Israel mean evils arising from falsity and falsities arising from evil, see 1413, 1437, 1573, 1574, 1607, 1868, 4517, 6306, 8054, 8317. So it is that 'I will send My terror before you' means the terror felt by those immersed in evils arising from falsity, on account of truths springing from good. The implications of all this are that all power in the spiritual world is provided by truths that spring from good, thus by truths that emanate from the Lord.

[2] This is made perfectly clear by the consideration that the Lord arranges into order all things in heaven and all things in hell, as well as all things in the world, by means of truths coming from Him. For Divine Truth emanating from the Lord is the actual means by which all things are brought into being and by which all things are kept in being. This is incomprehensible to those who think on solely a material level, as those people do who attribute the origin and continued existence of all things to natural forces. These people cannot have any other idea about truths than this, that truths do not possess any power because they are solely objects of thought, and thought is not seen by them to be an essential entity, still less something substantial, 1 even though they know that thought controls the whole body and causes individual parts to move in exact accord with its own disposition. Nor also do they see that in the whole of creation nothing exists which lacks connection with truth that springs from good. Regarding truth, that it holds all power within it and is a supreme essential entity, see 8200. From all this it is evident that angels possess power which they receive from God's truth that emanates from the Lord, and that this is why they are called 'powers'. As regards the nature of truths that spring from good, that is, of truths coming from the Lord, see my experience involving the arm which corresponds to such truth, spoken of in 4932-4935.

[3] Since all power belongs to truth it follows that no power whatever resides in falsity arising from evil, since it is an absence of truth springing from good, and so is an absence of power. Therefore also those in hell, since all there are steeped in falsities arising from evil, have absolutely no power at all. This being so, thousands of them can be rebuffed, thrown down, and dispelled by a single angel, almost exactly as fluff in the air can be by a puff from the mouth. From this one may see the reason for the terror felt by those steeped in falsities arising from evil on account of truths springing from good. This terror is called 'the terror of God' in Genesis 35:5; Job 13:21; and in Ezekiel,

I will put My terror in the land of the living, when he had been made to lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with those slain by the sword, Pharaoh and all his multitude. Ezekiel 32:32.

And in Moses,

If you despise My statutes, and if your soul abhors My judgements, so that you do not do all My commandments, I will inject dismay into their heart, that the sound of a driven leaf may pursue them, and they may flee, like flight from the sword, and they may fall without [anyone] pursuing. Leviticus 26:15, 36.

This describes the terror experienced by those who despise and reject statutes, judgements, and commandments, thus that felt by those who are immersed in evils arising from falsity and in falsities arising from evil. It says that 'the sound of a leaf will pursue them, and they will flee, like flight from the sword'; and the reason why it says this is that 'a leaf' means truth, 885, and 'the sword' truth engaged in conflict against falsity arising from evil, 2799, 6353, 8294. The fact that those people possess absolutely no power at all against truth is meant by 'they will fall without [anyone] pursuing'.
