Второзаконие 32

Estude

   

1 Внемлите небеса, и я начну говорить; И слушай земля слова устъ моихъ.

2 Польется, какъ дождь, ученіе мое; Покаплетъ, какь роса, слово мое, какъ мелкій дождь на зелень, какъ ливень на траву.

3 Ибо имя Господа провозглашаю; Воздайте славу Богу нашему.

4 Твердыня! совершенны дјла Его, ибо всј пути его праведны. Богъ истины, и нјтъ неправды в Немъ, Онъ правдивъ и вјренъ.

5 Но они развратились предъ Нимъ, они не дјти Его по своимъ порокамъ, родъ строптивый и вјроломный.

6 Сіе ли воздаете вы Господу, народъ глупый и несмысленный? Не Онъ ли Отецъ твой, Который усвоилъ тебя, сотворилъ тебя, и устроилъ тебя?

7 Вспомни дни древніе, помыслите о лјтахъ прежнихъ родовъ, спроси отца своего, и возвјститъ тебј, старцевъ твоихъ, и они скажутъ тебј.

8 Когда Всевышній давалъ удјлы народамъ, и разселялъ сыновъ человјческихъ: Тогда поставилъ предјлы народовъ по числу сыновъ Израилевыхъ.

9 Ибо часть Господня народъ Его; Іаковъ наслјдственный удјлъ Его.

10 Онъ обрјлъ его въ пустынј, въ степи печальной и дикой; Ограждалъ его, смотрјлъ за нимъ, хранилъ его, какъ зјницу ока Своего.

11 Какъ орелъ вызываетъ гнјздо свое, носится надъ птенцами своими, расширяетъ крылья свои, беретъ ихъ и поднимаетъ ихъ на перьяхъ своихъ:

12 Такъ Господь одинъ водилъ его, и не было съ Нимъ чужаго бога,

13 Онъ вознесъ его на высоту земли, и кормилъ произведеніями полей, и питалъ его медомъ изъ камня, и елеемъ отъ скалы кремнистой,

14 Сыромъ коровьимъ и молокомъ овечьимъ, и тукомъ агнцевъ и овновъ Васанскихъ и козловъ, и тукомъ пшеницы, и ты пилъ вино, кровь виноградныхъ ягодъ.

15 И утучнјлъ Израиль, и упоренъ сталъ; Ты утучнјлъ, отолстјлъ и разжирјлъ, и оставилъ онъ Бога, Который сотворилъ его, и презрјлъ твердыню спасенія своего.

16 Богами чуждыми они раздражили Его, и мерзостями разгнјвали Его.

17 Приносили жертвы бјсамъ, а не Богу, Богамъ, которыхъ они не знали, новымъ, которые пришли отъ сосјдей и которыхъ не боялись отцы ваши.

18 А Заступника, родившаго тебя, ты забылъ, и не помнилъ Бога, произведшаго тебя.

19 Господь увидјлъ, и пренебрегъ въ негодованіи Сыновъ Своихъ и дочерей Своихъ.

20 И сказалъ: сокрою лице Мое отъ нихъ; Увижу, какой будетъ конецъ ихъ: Ибо они родъ развращенный, дјти, въ которыхъ нјтъ вјрности.

21 Они раздражили меня не богомъ, суетными своими огорчили меня: И Я раздражу ихъ не народомъ, народомъ невјжественнымъ огорчу ихъ.

22 Ибо огнь возгорјлся во гнјвј Моемъ, и жжетъ до ада преисподняго, и поядаетъ землю и произведенія ея, и попаляетъ основанія горъ.

23 Соберу на нихъ бјдствія, и истощу на нихъ стрјлы Мои.

24 Будутъ истощены голодомъ, истреблены хищными птицами и лютою заразою, и пошлю на нихъ зубы звјрей, и ядъ ползающихъ по землј.

25 Отвнј будетъ губить дјтей ихъ мечъ, а въ домахъ ужасъ, и юношу, и дјвицу, и груднаго младенца, и покрытаго сјдиною старца.

26 Я сказалъ бы: разсыплю ихъ, изглажу изъ среды человјковъ память о нихъ,

27 Если бы я не опасался огорченія отъ враговъ; Чтобы непріятели его не возмнили и не сказали: наша рука высока. И не Господь сдјлалъ все сіе

28 Ибо они народъ потерявшій разсудокъ, и нјтъ въ нихъ смысла.

29 О, если бы они сдјлались мудрыми, подумали о семъ, уразумјли, что съ ними будетъ!

30 Какъ бы могъ одинъ преслјдоватъ тысячу, и двое прогонять тму, если бы Заступникъ ихъ не предалъ ихъ, и Господь не отдалъ ихъ!

31 Ибо заступникъ ихъ не таковъ, какъ нашъ Заступникъ; Сами враги наши могутъ судить.

32 Ибо виноградъ ихъ отъ виноградеой лозы Содомской и съ полей Гоморрскихъ; Ягоды ихъ ягоды ядовитыя, грозды ихъ горькія;

33 Вино ихъ ярость драконовъ и гибельный ядъ аспидовъ.

34 Не сокрыто ли сіе у Меня? Не запечатано ли въ сокровищницахъ Моихъ?

35 У мена отмщеніе и воздаяніе, когда поколеблется нога ихъ ибо близокъ день погибели ихъ, скоро наступитъ уготованное для нихъ.

36 Ибо Господь будетъ судить народъ Свой, и надъ рабами Своими умилосердится, когда онъ увидитъ, что рука ихъ ослабјла, и не стало ни зависящаго, ни не зависимаго.

37 Тогда скажетъ: гдј боги ихъ, твердыня, на которую они надјялись,

38 Которые јли тукъ жертвъ ихъ, пили вино возліяній ихъ? Пусть они возстанутъ и помогутъ вамъ, пусть будутъ для васъ покровомъ!

39 Видите нынј, что это Я, Я, и нјтъ Бога кромј Меня. Я умерщвлю и оживлю, Я поражу и Я исцјлю, и никто не избавитъ отъ руки Моей.

40 Я подьемлю къ небесамъ руку Мою, и говорю: живу Я въ вјкъ;

41 Изострю сверкающій мечъ Мой, и рука Моя пріиметъ судъ, отмщу врагамъ Моимъ и ненавидящимъ Меня воздамъ.

42 Упою стрјлы Мои кровію, и мечъ Мой насытится плотію, кровію убитыхъ и плјнныхъ, головами начальниковъ врага.

43 Возвеселитесь язычники, народъ Его: Ибо Онъ мститъ за кровь рабовъ Своихъ, и воздаетъ мщеніе врагамъ Своимъ, и очищаетъ землю, народъ Свой.

44 И пришелъ Моисей, и изрекъ всј слова пјсни сей вслухъ народа, онъ и Іисусъ сынъ Навинъ.

45 Когда Моисей изрекъ всј слова сіи всему Израилю,

46 тогда сказалъ имъ: положите на сердце ваше всј слова, которыя я объявилъ вамъ сегодня, и завјщавайте ихъ дјтямъ своимъ, чтобъ они старались исполнять всј слова закона сего.

47 Ибо это не пустое для васъ; но это жизнь ваша, и чрезъ сіе вы долгое время пробудете на той землј, въ которую вы переходите за Іорданъ, чтобы взять ее вь наслјдіе.

48 И говорилъ Господь Моисею въ тотъ же самый день, и сказалъ:

49 взойди на сію гору Аваримъ, на гору Нево, которая въ землј Моавитской, противъ Іерихома и посмотри на землю Ханаанскую, которую Я даю во владјніе сынамъ Израилевымь.

50 И умри на горј, на которую ты взойдешь, и отойди къ народу своему, такъ какъ умеръ Ааронъ, братъ твой, на горј Оръ, и отошелъ къ народу своему,

51 за то, что вы согрјшили противъ Меня среди сыновъ Израилевыхъ при водахъ Меривы въ Кадесј, въ пустынј Цинъ, за то, что не явили святости Моей среди сыновъ Израилевыхъ.

52 Предъ собою ты увидишь землю, а не войдешь туда, въ землю, которую Я даю сынамъ Израилевымъ.

9854. 'With the work of slender rope' means the mode of the joining together. This is clear from the meaning of 'slender rope' as that which serves to join things together. The reason why 'slender rope' means that which so serves to join things together is that such a cord is used to join one object to another. But in this instance it means the mode of the joining together, for the narrative is saying that the small chains of pure gold had to be made 'with the work' of slender rope. 'Slender rope' is used in the original language to describe a cord made from twisted and intertwined work, by which is meant in the internal sense a joining together such as that of truths within known facts and interlinking such facts, thus a joining together in the natural or external memory. The reason why this kind of joining together is meant is that the subject at this point is the joining together of truths through good in the last and lowest parts of the spiritual kingdom. For 'the ephod' and 'the breastplate', to which [the shoulder-pieces] were joined by means of the small chains made from 'the work of slender rope', mean the lowest levels of the spiritual kingdom, 9824. As regards what is intertwined or tangled, that it denotes factual knowledge, see 2831.

[2] In the next life also ropes appear, varying in the ways in which their strands are twisted together and varying in thickness; and they represent the varying modes by which things are joined together. This explains also why in the Word things which serve to join others together are meant by 'ropes', as in the following places: In Isaiah,

Woe to those who draw iniquity with ropes of vanity, and [whose] sin is like a cart rope! Isaiah 5:18.

'Ropes of vanity' are joinings together of falsities, through which iniquity or evil in life is brought in. In the same prophet,

Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feast. May your eyes see Jerusalem, a quiet dwelling-place, a tent which will not be overthrown. Its pegs will never be removed, and none of its ropes will be pulled away. Your ropes have been loosed; they will not strengthen their mast. Isaiah 33:20, 23.

'Pegs' and 'ropes' stand for the things which serve to join together heaven's truths and forms of good; for the dwelling-place and tent, which the ropes spoken of here belong to, are heaven, 9457, 9481, 9485, 9615, 9784.

[3] In the same prophet,

Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwelling-places; do not stop [them]. Lengthen your ropes, and make your pegs firm. Isaiah 54:2.

And in Jeremiah,

My tent has been laid waste, and all My ropes torn away. Jeremiah 10:20.

Here also 'ropes' stands for things that serve to join others together and make them firm. 'Tent' stands for the Church, which is the Lord's heaven on earth. In Hosea,

I drew them with ropes of human kindness, 1 with thick ropes of love. Hosea 11:4.

Here 'ropes' plainly stands for things which join others together; for love is spiritual togetherness. In Ezekiel,

Asshur and Kilmad, they were your traders with the treasures of garments tied by means of ropes. Ezekiel 27:23-24.

This refers to Tyre, by which cognitions or knowledge of goodness and truth are meant, 1201. Outward joinings together of these are meant by 'garments tied by means of ropes'. In addition 'ropes' is also used in the Word to mean apportionments of inheritances and of the land, because ropes were used in measurements of them, as in Deuteronomy 32:9; Amos 7:17; Micah 2:4-5; Zechariah 2:1; Psalms 16:6; 78:55; 105:11; 140:5; and many times elsewhere.

9481. 'In accordance with all that I show you, the pattern of the dwelling-place' means a representative of heaven where the Lord is. This is clear from the meaning of 'the pattern of the dwelling-place' as a representative of heaven; for 'the pattern' means a representative, and 'the dwelling-place' means heaven. The reason why 'the pattern' means a representative is that Divine realities in heaven are also manifested in visible shapes, which are representatives. For the meaning of 'the dwelling-place' as heaven where the Lord is, see 8269, 8309. What the representatives that appear in heaven are like is clear in the prophets, for example in John's Book of Revelation, in which he describes lampstands, Chapter 1:12ff; a throne with twenty-four thrones around it, and four living creatures before the throne, Chapter 4:2ff; a book sealed with seven seals, Chapter 5; horses going out when the seals were opened, Chapter 6; angels who are clothed in various ways and have bowls, Chapters 9, 10, 15, 16; a white horse, Chapter 19; and at length a new Jerusalem, its walls, gates, foundations, height, breadth, and length, Chapters 21, 22. Similar sights are also described by other prophets.

[2] All those sights are representatives such as appear unceasingly in heaven before angels' eyes, manifesting in visible shapes the Divine celestial realities that belong to the good of love and the Divine spiritual realities that belong to the good of faith. Such realities taken all together were represented by the tabernacle and its contents, that is, the ark itself, the table on which loaves were laid, the altar of incense, the lampstand, and everything else. Therefore when these objects, being outward forms of Divine celestial and spiritual realities, were beheld by the people while they were engaged in holy acts of worship, such realities as were represented by those objects were brought to notice in heaven. These, as stated above, were the Divine celestial realities that belong to the good of love to the Lord and the Divine spiritual realities that belong to the good of faith in the Lord. All the representatives of that Church had that kind of effect in heaven. It should be realized that a person always has spirits and angels present with him and that a person cannot live without them. It should likewise be realized that through them the person is linked to the Lord, and that in this way the human race, and heaven too, is kept in being. From this one can see what purpose was served by the representatives and also the ritual observances of the Church established among the Israelite nation. One can also see what purpose is served by the Word, in which all things mentioned in the sense of the letter correspond to Divine realities that exist in heaven, thus in which all the objects mentioned are representative and all the words used carry a spiritual meaning. This is what brings about the linking of a person to heaven, and through heaven to the Lord. Without that link the person would have no life whatever, for without being linked to the actual Essential Being (Esse) of life, from which the Coming-into-Being (Existere) of life emanates, no one has life.

[3] But these considerations are unintelligible to those who think that life exists essentially in a person himself and that a person lives without spirits or angels, thus without influx from the Divine by way of heaven. But in actual fact anything that is not linked to the Divine perishes and ceases to exist. Indeed nothing can ever come into being without that which is prior to itself, thus without the Divine, who is the First and is self-existent Being (Esse) or Jehovah; nor consequently can it remain in being, for remaining in being is constant coming-into-being. Because 'the dwelling-place' means heaven where the Lord is, it also means the good of love and faith, since these compose heaven; and because all good comes from the Lord, and heaven is called heaven by virtue of its love to and faith in the Lord, 'the dwelling-place' also means in the highest sense the Lord, as is evident in Isaiah 63:15; Jeremiah 25:30; Ezekiel 37:26-27; Psalms 26:8; 43:3; 90:1; 91:9; Exodus 15:13; Deuteronomy 12:5, 11; and other places. From this it is clear that the tabernacle was called Jehovah's sanctuary and dwelling-place for the reason that it represented the realities mentioned above.
