Josue 15

Estude

   

1 At naging kapalaran ng lipi ng mga anak ni Juda ayon sa kanilang mga angkan ay hanggang sa hangganan ng Edom; hanggang sa ilang ng Zin na dakong timugan, sa kahulihulihang bahagi ng timugan.

2 At ang kanilang hangganang timugan ay mula sa kahulihulihang bahagi ng Dagat na Alat, mula sa dagat-dagatan na nakaharap sa dakong timugan:

3 At palabas sa dakong timugan ng pagsampa sa Acrabim, at patuloy sa Zin at pasampa sa timugan ng Cades-barnea, at patuloy sa Hezron, at pasampa sa Addar, at paliko sa Carca:

4 At patuloy sa Azmon, at palabas sa batis ng Egipto, at ang mga labasan ng hangganan ay sa dagat: ito ang magiging inyong hangganang timugan.

5 At ang hangganang silanganan ay ang Dagat na Alat, hanggang sa katapusan ng Jordan. At ang hangganan ng hilagaang dako ay mula sa dagat-dagatan ng dagat na nasa katapusan ng Jordan:

6 At pasampa ang hangganan sa Beth-hogla, at patuloy sa hilagaan ng Beth-araba; at ang hangganan ay pasampa sa bato ni Bohan na anak ni Ruben:

7 At ang hangganan ay pasampa sa Debir mula sa libis ng Achor, at gayon sa dakong hilagaang paharap sa dakong Gilgal, na nasa tapat ng pagsampa sa Adumin, na nasa dakong timugan ng ilog: at ang hangganan ay patuloy sa tubig ng En-semes, at ang mga labasan niyaon ay sa En-rogel:

8 At ang hangganan ay pasampa sa libis ng anak ni Hinnom hanggang sa dako ng Jebuseo na dakong timugan (na siya ring Jerusalem): at ang hangganan ay pasampa sa taluktok ng bundok na dumudoon sa harap ng libis ng Hinnom na dakong kalunuran, na sa kahulihulihang bahagi ng libis ng Rephaim na dakong hilagaan:

9 At ang hangganan ay paabot mula sa taluktok ng bundok hanggang sa bukal ng tubig ng Nephtoa, at palabas sa mga bayan ng bundok ng Ephron, at ang hangganan ay paabot sa Baala (na siya ring Chiriath-jearim):

10 At ang hangganan ay paliko mula sa Baala sa dakong kalunuran sa bundok ng Seir, at patuloy sa tabi ng bundok Jearim sa hilagaan (na siya ring Chesalon), at pababa sa Beth-semes at patuloy sa Timna.

11 At ang hangganan ay palabas sa siping ng Ecron na dakong hilagaan; at ang hangganan ay paabot sa Sicheron, at patuloy sa bundok ng Baala, at palabas sa Jabneel; at ang mga labasan ng hangganan ay sa dagat.

12 At ang hangganang kalunuran ay ang malaking dagat, at ang hangganan niyaon. Ito ang hangganan ng mga anak ni Juda sa palibot, ayon sa kanilang mga angkan.

13 At kay Caleb na anak ni Jephone ay nagbigay siya ng isang bahagi sa gitna ng mga anak ni Juda, ayon sa utos ng Panginoon kay Josue, sa makatuwid baga'y ang Chiriath-arba, na siyang Arba na ama ni Anac (na siya ring Hebron).

14 At pinalayas ni Caleb mula roon ang tatlong anak ni Anac: si Sesai, si Aiman at si Talmai, na mga anak ni Anac.

15 At siya'y sumampa mula roon laban sa mga taga Debir: ang pangalan nga ng Debir nang una ay Chiriath-sepher.

16 At sinabi ni Caleb, Ang sumakit sa Chiriath-sepher at sumakop, sa kaniya ko papagaasawahin si Axa na aking anak na babae.

17 At sinakop ni Othoniel na anak ni Cenez, na kapatid ni Caleb: at pinapagasawa niya sa kaniya si Axa na kaniyang anak na babae.

18 At nangyari, nang si Axa ay malakip sa kaniya, na kinilos nito siya na humingi sa kaniyang ama ng isang parang: at siya'y bumaba sa kaniyang asno, at sinabi ni Caleb sa kaniya, Anong ibig mo?

19 At kaniyang sinabi, Pagpalain mo ako; sapagka't inilagay mo ako sa lupaing Timugan, ay bigyan mo rin ako ng mga bukal ng tubig. At ibinigay niya sa kaniya ang mga bukal sa itaas at ang mga bukal sa ibaba.

20 Ito ang mana ng lipi ng mga anak ni Juda ayon sa kanilang mga angkan.

Apocalypse Revealed # 349

349. Sealed out of every tribe of Israel. This symbolizes the heaven and Lord's church formed from those people.

A tribe symbolizes religion as regards goodness of life, and every tribe symbolizes the church in respect to every good of love and every truth springing from that good, which produces goodness of life. For there are two elements which form the church: the goodness of love and doctrinal truth. The marriage of these two constitutes the church. The twelve tribes of Israel represented and so symbolized the church with respect to that marriage, and each tribe represented and so symbolized some universal truth accompanying goodness or some goodness accompanying truth present in that marriage.

But what each tribe symbolized has not been revealed previously to anyone, nor could it have been revealed, lest an ill-connected exposition profane the holiness that lies within these things when joined together, since their symbolism depends on their conjunction.

[2] They have one symbolism in the order in which they are listed according to their births (Genesis 29, 30, 35:18). The order there is: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin.

They have another symbolism in the order in which they are listed when they went into Egypt, namely, Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Gad, Asher, Joseph, Benjamin, Dan, Naphtali (Genesis 46:8-25).

Still another symbolism in the order in which they were blessed by their father Israel, namely, Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Zebulun, Issachar, Dan, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Joseph, Benjamin (Genesis 49).

Still another symbolism in the order in which they were blessed by Moses, namely, Reuben, Judah, Levi, Benjamin, Joseph, Ephraim, Manasseh, Zebulun, Gad, Dan, Naphtali, Asher (Deuteronomy 33) - Ephraim and Manasseh being listed there, and not Simeon or Issachar.

[3] Still another symbolism in the order in which they encamped and set out, namely, the tribes of Judah, Issachar and Zebulun on the east side, the tribes of Reuben, Simeon and Gad on the south side, the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh and Benjamin on the west side, and the tribes of Dan, Asher and Naphtali on the north side, with the tribe of Levi in the middle (Numbers 2:1-34).

And still another symbolism in the order in which they are listed elsewhere, as in Genesis 35:23-26, Numbers 1:5-16; 7:1-89; 13:4-15; 26:5-57; 34:17-28, Deuteronomy 27:12-13, Joshua 15; 16; 17; 18; 19, Ezekiel 48:1-35.

Consequently, when Balaam saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes, he said, "How good are your tents, O Jacob, and your tabernacles, O Israel" (Numbers 24:1-4ff.).

[4] On the breastpiece of judgment, namely, the Urim and Thummim, containing twelve precious stones according to the names of the children of Israel (Exodus 28:15-21), the symbolism of the tribes in their arrangement depended on the inquiry to which they provided a response.

But what they symbolized in the order in which they are mentioned here in the book of Revelation, which is still another order, will be told in what follows.

Tribes symbolize religion, and the twelve tribes the church and everything pertaining to it, because "tribe" and "scepter" are, in Hebrew, the same word, 1 and a scepter means a kingdom, and the Lord's kingdom is heaven and the church.

Numbers 3

Estude

   

1 Now this is the history of the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Yahweh spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai.

2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.

4 Nadab and Abihu died before Yahweh, when they offered strange fire before Yahweh, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children. Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the presence of Aaron their father.

5 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

6 "Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him.

7 They shall keep his requirements, and the requirements of the whole congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.

8 They shall keep all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting, and the obligations of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.

9 You shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons. They are wholly given to him on the behalf of the children of Israel.

10 You shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep their priesthood. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death."

11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

12 "Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn who open the womb among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine:

13 for all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I made holy to me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and animal. They shall be mine. I am Yahweh."

14 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,

15 "Count the children of Levi by their fathers' houses, by their families. You shall count every male from a month old and upward."

16 Moses numbered them according to the word of Yahweh, as he was commanded.

17 These were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.

18 These are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families: Libni and Shimei.

19 The sons of Kohath by their families: Amram, and Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.

20 The sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their fathers' houses.

21 Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimeites: these are the families of the Gershonites.

22 Those who were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, even those who were numbered of them were seven thousand five hundred.

23 The families of the Gershonites shall encamp behind the tabernacle westward.

24 The prince of the fathers' house of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael.

25 The duty of the sons of Gershon in the Tent of Meeting shall be the tabernacle, and the Tent, its covering, and the screen for the door of the Tent of Meeting,

26 and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and around the altar, and its cords for all of its service.

27 Of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites.

28 According to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, there were eight thousand six hundred, keeping the requirements of the sanctuary.

29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall encamp on the south side of the tabernacle.

30 The prince of the fathers' house of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.

31 Their duty shall be the ark, the table, the lamp stand, the altars, the vessels of the sanctuary with which they minister, and the screen, and all its service.

32 Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be prince of the princes of the Levites, with the oversight of those who keep the requirements of the sanctuary.

33 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites. These are the families of Merari.

34 Those who were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand two hundred.

35 The prince of the fathers' house of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail. They shall encamp on the north side of the tabernacle.

36 The appointed duty of the sons of Merari shall be the tabernacle's boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets, all its instruments, all its service,

37 the pillars of the court around it, their sockets, their pins, and their cords.

38 Those who encamp before the tabernacle eastward, in front of the Tent of Meeting toward the sunrise, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the requirements of the sanctuary for the duty of the children of Israel. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death.

39 All who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of Yahweh, by their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty-two thousand.

40 Yahweh said to Moses, "Number all the firstborn males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.

41 You shall take the Levites for me (I am Yahweh) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the livestock of the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the livestock of the children of Israel."

42 Moses numbered, as Yahweh commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.

43 All the firstborn males according to the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those who were numbered of them, were twenty-two thousand two hundred seventy-three.

44 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

45 "Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of their livestock; and the Levites shall be mine. I am Yahweh.

46 For the redemption of the two hundred seventy-three of the firstborn of the children of Israel, who exceed the number of the Levites,

47 you shall take five shekels apiece for each one; after the shekel of the sanctuary you shall take them (the shekel is twenty gerahs):

48 and you shall give the money, with which the remainder of them is redeemed, to Aaron and to his sons."

49 Moses took the redemption money from those who exceeded the number of those who were redeemed by the Levites;

50 from the firstborn of the children of Israel he took the money, one thousand three hundred sixty-five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:

51 and Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of Yahweh, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
