1 και συ υιε ανθρωπου λαβε σεαυτω πλινθον και θησεις αυτην προ προσωπου σου και διαγραψεις επ' αυτην πολιν την ιερουσαλημ

2 και δωσεις επ' αυτην περιοχην και οικοδομησεις επ' αυτην προμαχωνας και περιβαλεις επ' αυτην χαρακα και δωσεις επ' αυτην παρεμβολας και ταξεις τας βελοστασεις κυκλω

3 και συ λαβε σεαυτω τηγανον σιδηρουν και θησεις αυτο τοιχον σιδηρουν ανα μεσον σου και ανα μεσον της πολεως και ετοιμασεις το προσωπον σου επ' αυτην και εσται εν συγκλεισμω και συγκλεισεις αυτην σημειον εστιν τουτο τοις υιοις ισραηλ

4 και συ κοιμηθηση επι το πλευρον σου το αριστερον και θησεις τας αδικιας του οικου ισραηλ επ' αυτου κατα αριθμον των ημερων πεντηκοντα και εκατον ας κοιμηθηση επ' αυτου και λημψη τας αδικιας αυτων

5 και εγω δεδωκα σοι τας δυο αδικιας αυτων εις αριθμον ημερων ενενηκοντα και εκατον ημερας και λημψη τας αδικιας του οικου ισραηλ

6 και συντελεσεις ταυτα παντα και κοιμηθηση επι το πλευρον σου το δεξιον και λημψη τας αδικιας του οικου ιουδα τεσσαρακοντα ημερας ημεραν εις ενιαυτον τεθεικα σοι

7 και εις τον συγκλεισμον ιερουσαλημ ετοιμασεις το προσωπον σου και τον βραχιονα σου στερεωσεις και προφητευσεις επ' αυτην

8 και εγω ιδου δεδωκα επι σε δεσμους και μη στραφης απο του πλευρου σου επι το πλευρον σου εως ου συντελεσθωσιν αι ημεραι του συγκλεισμου σου

9 και συ λαβε σεαυτω πυρους και κριθας και κυαμον και φακον και κεγχρον και ολυραν και εμβαλεις αυτα εις αγγος εν οστρακινον και ποιησεις αυτα σαυτω εις αρτους και κατ' αριθμον των ημερων ας συ καθευδεις επι του πλευρου σου ενενηκοντα και εκατον ημερας φαγεσαι αυτα

10 και το βρωμα σου ο φαγεσαι εν σταθμω εικοσι σικλους την ημεραν απο καιρου εως καιρου φαγεσαι αυτα

11 και υδωρ εν μετρω πιεσαι το εκτον του ιν απο καιρου εως καιρου πιεσαι

12 και εγκρυφιαν κριθινον φαγεσαι αυτα εν βολβιτοις κοπρου ανθρωπινης εγκρυψεις αυτα κατ' οφθαλμους αυτων

13 και ερεις ταδε λεγει κυριος ο θεος του ισραηλ ουτως φαγονται οι υιοι ισραηλ ακαθαρτα εν τοις εθνεσιν

14 και ειπα μηδαμως κυριε θεε του ισραηλ ιδου η ψυχη μου ου μεμιανται εν ακαθαρσια και θνησιμαιον και θηριαλωτον ου βεβρωκα απο γενεσεως μου εως του νυν ουδε εισεληλυθεν εις το στομα μου παν κρεας εωλον

15 και ειπεν προς με ιδου δεδωκα σοι βολβιτα βοων αντι των βολβιτων των ανθρωπινων και ποιησεις τους αρτους σου επ' αυτων

16 και ειπεν προς με υιε ανθρωπου ιδου εγω συντριβω στηριγμα αρτου εν ιερουσαλημ και φαγονται αρτον εν σταθμω και εν ενδεια και υδωρ εν μετρω και εν αφανισμω πιονται

17 οπως ενδεεις γενωνται αρτου και υδατος και αφανισθησεται ανθρωπος και αδελφος αυτου και τακησονται εν ταις αδικιαις αυτων

Scriptural Confirmations #22

  
/ 101  
  

22. 20. (The Lord is described as to the Word appearing above the expanse of the cherubim (Ezekiel 1:26-28), and is called the Lord Jehovih (Ezekiel 2:4; 3:11, 27; 4:14; 5:7-8, 11; 6:3, 11; 7:2, 5; 8:1 seq.). Then he is called the God of Israel (8:4, especially 11:22-23).

I will raise up one shepherd over them, who shall feed them, My servant David. I, Jehovah, will be a God to them, and My servant David a prince in the midst of them. Then will I destroy for them the covenant of peace (Ezekiel 34:23-25).

My servant David shall be king over them, and they all shall have one shepherd. And I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them, and I will set My sanctuary in the midst of them to eternity. Thus shall My habitation be with them; and I will be God to them, moreover they shall be a people to Me (Ezekiel 37:24-25). Throughout the chapter the regeneration of man in the New Church is treated of, for this is meant by the dry bones, and by the two sticks which were one.

In that day will I make a covenant with the beast of the field and with the bird of the heavens, and I will break war from the earth, and make them to lie down securely. And I will betroth thee unto Me for ever, and I will betroth thee unto Me in justice and in judgment and in mercy, and I will betroth thee unto Me in faithfulness, and thou shalt know Jehovah. And it shall be in that day that I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth (Hosea 2:18-21).

I have consecrated their gain, and their wealth unto the Lord of the whole earth (Micah 4:13).

(Thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou art little among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall one come forth unto Me, that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from the days of eternity. Then shall he stand and feed in the strength of Jehovah, in the excellency of the name of his God; and they shall abide; for now shall he increase unto the ends of the earth (Micah 5:2-4). He will give them until the time, until the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the sons of Israel (verse 2). Concerning the New Church (4:5, seq.).)

Ezekiel 1:26-28

Study

  

26 And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.

27 And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.

28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.
