പഠനം

   

1 Ostříhej měsíce Abib, abys slavil Fáze Hospodinu Bohu svému, nebo toho měsíce Abib vyvedl tě Hospodin Bůh tvůj z Egypta v noci.

2 A obětovati budeš Fáze Hospodinu Bohu svému z bravů i skotů na místě, kteréž by vyvolil Hospodin, aby tam přebývalo jméno jeho.

3 Nebudeš v něm jísti nic kvašeného. Za sedm dní jísti budeš přesnice, chléb trápení, (nebo s chvátáním vyšel jsi z země Egyptské), abys pamatoval na den, v kterémž jsi vyšel z země Egyptské, po všecky dny života svého.

4 Aniž spatřín bude u tebe kvas ve všech končinách tvých za sedm dní, a nezůstane nic přes noc masa toho, kteréž bys obětoval u večer toho dne prvního, až do jitra.

5 Nebudeš moci obětovati Fáze v každém městě svém, kteréž Hospodin Bůh tvůj dává tobě,

6 Ale na místě, kteréž by vyvolil Hospodin Bůh tvůj, aby přebývalo tam jméno jeho, tu obětovati budeš Fáze, a to u večer, při západu slunce v jistý čas vyjití tvého z Egypta.

7 Péci pak budeš a jísti na místě, kteréž by vyvolil Hospodin Bůh tvůj, a ráno navracuje se, půjdeš do stanů svých.

8 Šest dní jísti budeš přesnice, dne pak sedmého bude slavnost Hospodinu Bohu tvému; ničehož v ní dělati nebudeš.

9 Sedm téhodnů sečteš sobě; od začátku žně začneš počítati Sedm téhodnů.

10 Tehdy slaviti budeš slavnost téhodnů Hospodinu Bohu svému; seč budeš moci býti, to dáš dobrovolně vedlé toho, jakžť by požehnal Hospodin Bůh tvůj.

11 I veseliti se budeš před Hospodinem Bohem svým, ty i syn tvůj i dcera tvá, služebník tvůj a děvka tvá, i Levíta, kterýž by byl v branách tvých, a příchozí, sirotek i vdova, kteříž by byli u prostřed tebe, na místě, kteréž by vyvolil Hospodin Bůh tvůj k přebývání tam jména svého.

12 A tak rozpomínati se budeš, že jsi byl služebníkem v Egyptě, když ostříhati a vykonávati budeš ustanovení tato.

13 Slavnost stanů světiti budeš za sedm dní, když shromáždíš s pole svého a z vinice své.

14 I budeš se veseliti v slavnosti své, ty i syn tvůj i dcera tvá, služebník tvůj a služebnice tvá, Levíta i příchozí, sirotek i vdova, kteříž by byli v branách tvých.

15 Sedm dní svátek světiti budeš Hospodinu Bohu svému na místě, kteréž by vyvolil Hospodin, když požehná tobě Hospodin Bůh tvůj ve všech úrodách tvých, a ve všeliké práci rukou tvých, a tak budeš vesel.

16 Třikrát v roce postaví se každý pohlaví mužského před Hospodinem Bohem tvým na místě, kteréž by vyvolil, na slavnost přesnic, na slavnost téhodnů a na slavnost stanů, a neukážeť se před Hospodinem prázdný;

17 Každý podlé daru sobě daného, vedlé požehnání Hospodina Boha tvého, jehož on udělil tobě.

18 Soudce a správce ustanovíš sobě ve všech městech svých, kteráž Hospodin Bůh tvůj dá tobě v každém pokolení tvém, kteříž souditi budou lid soudem spravedlivým.

19 Neuchýlíš soudu, a nebudeš šetřiti osoby, aniž přijmeš daru; nebo dar oslepuje oči moudrých, a převrací slova spravedlivých.

20 Spravedlivě spravedlnosti následovati budeš, abys živ byl, a dědičně vládl zemí,kterouž Hospodin Bůh tvůj dává tobě.

21 Nevysadíš sobě háje jakýmkoli dřívím u oltáře Hospodina Boha svého, kterýž uděláš sobě,

22 Ani vyzdvihneš sobě modly, což v ohavnosti má Hospodin Bůh tvůj.

3605. 'Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him' means that natural good found the conjunction with truth - inverted as regards order - repugnant. This is clear from the meaning of 'hating' here in the internal sense as repugnance, dealt with below; from the representation of 'Esau' as natural good, and of 'Jacob' as natural truth, dealt with above; and from the meaning of 'a blessing' as conjunction, dealt with above in 3504, 3514, 3530, 3565, 3584. As regards its being a conjunction with truth - inverted as regards order - that is represented by Jacob, this is clear from what has been stated and shown above in 3539, 3548, 3556, 3563, 3570, 3576, 3603.

[2] The reason why 'hating' in the internal sense means repugnance is that it has reference to good, represented by 'Esau', and good does not even know what hatred is, since it is the complete opposite of it. Things that are opposites cannot possibly coexist in the same subject. But instead of hatred, good - or the person in whom good is present - feels a certain kind of repugnance, and this is why hatred here in the internal sense means repugnance. Actually the internal sense is intended primarily for those who are in heaven, and therefore when it comes down from there and passes into the literal sense, the feeling of repugnance enters into words that denote hatred when historical narratives refer to hatred. Yet at the same time no idea of hatred is present in the minds of those in heaven. This is similar to what has been told from experience in Volume One, in 1875, about the words in the Lord's Prayer, Do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. The idea of temptation and evil is rejected until something purely angelic, that is to say, good, devoid of any idea of temptation or evil remains. And coupled with this purely angelic idea there is a kind of indignation and a repugnance to any thought of evil when thinking about the Lord.

[3] It is similar with those places in the Word where one reads about Jehovah or the Lord hating, as in Zechariah,

Let none of you in your hearts think evil of his companion, nor love any lying oath, for all these things I hate, says Jehovah. Zechariah 8:17.

In Moses,

You shall not erect for yourself a pillar, which Jehovah your God hates. Deuteronomy 16:22.

In Jeremiah,

My heritage has become to Me like a lion in the forest It has lifted up its voice against Me, therefore I hate it. Jeremiah 12:8.

In Hosea,

In Gilgal I hate them. Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of My house; I will love them no more. Hosea 9:15.

Here 'the hatred' that is attributed to Jehovah or the Lord is not in the internal sense hatred but mercy, for the Divine is mercy. But when that mercy flows down to someone who is under the influence of evil he is exposed to the punishment that goes with evil, in which case mercy looks like hatred. And because it looks like hatred it is also called such in the sense of the letter.

[4] The same applies when in the Word anger, wrath, or fury are attributed to Jehovah or the Lord, dealt with in 245, 592, 696, 1093, 1683, 1874, 2335, 2395, 2447. The Jewish and Israelitish people more than all others were such that as soon as they detected any enmity present even with allies they believed that they were entitled to treat them cruelly, not only killing them but also exposing their bodies to wild animals and birds. And because the Lord's inflowing mercy was converted in this way into such hatred with them, a hatred directed, as has been stated, not only against enemies but also against allies, they inevitably believed that Jehovah too was capable of hating, being angry, wrathful, and furious. This is the reason why the Word has spoken in this way according to the appearance. For what a person is in himself determines how he sees the Lord, 1838, 1861, 2706. But the nature of hatred in the case of these in whom love and charity, that is, good, are present, is clear from the Lord's words in Matthew,

You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy. But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who hurt and persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:43-45.

3576. 'And he blessed him' means conjunction thereby. This is clear from the meaning of 'being blessed' as conjunction, dealt with in 3504, 3514, 3530, 3565. From these details which refer to Esau and Jacob it becomes clear that the good of the rational joined itself inmostly to the good of the natural, and then through the good of the natural to the truth there. For 'Isaac' represents the rational as regards good, 'Rebekah' the rational as regards truth, while 'Esau' represents the good of the natural and 'Jacob' the truth of the natural. The idea that the rational as regards good, which is 'Isaac', joined itself inmostly to the good of the natural, which is 'Esau', but not to the truth of the natural, which is 'Jacob', except indirectly, is evident from the consideration that Isaac had Esau in mind when pronouncing the blessing on Jacob. At that time he was not thinking of Jacob but of Esau. When anyone pronounces a blessing he is blessing the person of whom he is thinking, not someone of whom he is not thinking. All blessing comes forth from something interior, for though pronounced with the lips it receives its life from the will and the thought of the person pronouncing it. It belongs essentially therefore to the individual to whom he wishes to impart it and of whom he is thinking. If anyone intercepts it and so makes it his own it is like something stolen which ought to be restored to the other person. The fact that Isaac, when pronouncing the blessing, was thinking of Esau and not of Jacob becomes clear from every single detail that goes before this - from verses 18-19, where Isaac said to Jacob,

Who are you, my son? And Jacob said to his father, I am Esau your firstborn.

Then from verses 21-23,

Isaac said to Jacob, Come near now, and I will feel you, my son, whether you are my son Esau, or not.

And after feeling him he said, The voice is Jacob's voice, and the hands Esau's hands; and he did not recognize him.

Also from verse 24,

And he said. Are you my very son Esau? And he said, I am.

And at length, when kissing him,

He smelled the odour of his clothes.

That is to say, he smelled Esau's clothes, at which point he blessed him and said,

See, the odour of my son.

From all this it is clear that by the son whom he blessed he meant none other than Esau. This also was why when he heard from Esau that it had been Jacob,

Isaac trembled very greatly. Verse 33.

And he said, Your brother came in deceitfully. Verse 35.

The reason why Jacob retained the blessing however, according to what is said in verses 33-37, was that truth represented by 'Jacob' would from the point of view of time apparently have dominion, as shown frequently above.

[2] But once the time of reformation and regeneration is completed good itself which has been Lying hidden in the inmost parts and from there has been disposing every single thing which seemed to be a matter of truth, that is, which truth had ascribed to itself, comes to the fore and openly has dominion. And this is what Isaac's words addressed to Esau mean,

By your sword you will live, and you will serve your brother. And it will be when you have dominion over him, that you will break his yoke from above your neck, Verse 40.

The internal sense of these words is that all the time truth is joined to good, good appears to be in the lower position but will eventually be in the higher. At this point there will be a joining together of the rational with the good of the natural, and through the good of the natural with the truth. Truth will thus become the truth of good. In this case 'Esau' will consequently represent the good itself of the natural and 'Jacob' the truth of the natural, both joined to the rational. Accordingly in the highest sense they will represent the Lord's Divine Natural - 'Esau' as regards the Divine Good there and 'Jacob' as regards the Divine Truth.
