1 Ja Herran sana tapahtui minulle ja sanoi:

2 Sinä, ihmisen poika, aseta kasvos Ammonin lasten puoleen, ja ennusta heitä vastaan,

3 Ja sano Ammonin lapsille: kuulkaat Herran, Herran sanaa: näin sanoo Herra, Herra: että te minun pyhääni pitititte, sanoen: jopa se saastutettu on, ja Israelin maata: se on kylmillä, ja Juudan huonetta, että se on vankina viety pois;

4 Sentähden katso, minä tahdon sinun antaa itäisen maan lapsille perinnöksi, että heidän linnojansa sinne rakentaman ja asuinsiansa sinne tekemän pitää; ja heidän pitää sinun hedelmäs syömän, ja sinun rieskas juoman.

5 Ja tahdon Rabban kamelein huoneeksi tehdä, ja Ammonin lapset lammaspihatoksi; ja teidän pitää tietämän, että minä olen Herra.

6 Sillä näin sanoo Herra, Herra: että sinä käsiäs paukutit, ja tömistelit jaloillas, ja Israelin maasta kaikesta sydämestäs niin äikistellen iloitsit,

7 Sentähden katso, minä tahdon minun käteni ojentaa sinun ylitses, ja antaa sinun pakanoille ryöstöksi, ja hävittää sinun kansoista, ja maakunnista surmata; minä kadotan sinun, ja sinun pitää tietämän, että minä olen Herra.

8 Näin sanoo Herra, Herra: että Moab ja Seir sanovat: katso, Juudan huone on niinkuin kaikki muutkin pakanat;

9 Sentähden katso, niin minä tahdon Moabin kyljen avata kaupungeista, hänen kaupungeistansa ja hänen rajoistansa: sen kalliin maan, Betjesimotin, Baalmeonin ja Kirjataimin,

10 Itäisen maan lapsille, Ammonin lapsia vastaan, ja annan heidät heille perinnöksi, ettei Ammonin lapsia enää muistettaman pidä pakanain seassa;

11 Ja annan tuomita Moabin: ja heidän pitää tietämän minun olevan Herran.

12 Näin sanoo Herra, Herra: että Edom Juudan huoneelle ankarasti kostanut on, ja kostamisellansa itsensä vikapääksi saattanut;

13 Sentähden sanoo Herra, Herra näin: minä tahdon käteni ojentaa Edomin päälle, ja tahdon hänestä hävittää sekä ihmiset että eläimet, ja tahdon sen autioksi tehdä Temanista, ja Dedaniin asti pitää heidän miekalla kaatuman.

14 Ja kostan jälleen Edomille minun kansani Israelin kautta, ja heidän pitää Edomin kanssa tekemän minun vihani ja hirmuisuuteni jälkeen; että heidän minun kostoni tunteman pitää, sanoo Herra, Herra.

15 Näin sanoo Herra, Herra: että Philistealaiset kostaneet ovat ja vanhan vihansa sammuttaneet, kaiketi oman tahtonsa perään (minun kansani) vahingoksi;

16 Sentähden sanoo Herra, Herra näin: katso, minä tahdon minun käteni ojentaa Philistealaisten päälle; ja Kretiläiset hävittää, ja tahdon jääneet meren satamissa surmata;

17 Ja tahdon heille suuresti kostaa, ja vihassa heitä rangaista, että heidän ymmärtämän pitää minun olevan Herran, koska minä heille kostanut olen.

3761. 'Jacob lifted up his feet' means a raising up of the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'lifting up' as a raising up, and from the meaning of 'the feet' as the natural, dealt with below. The raising up meant here is the subject of the chapter itself, namely a raising up from external truth towards internal good. In the highest sense the subject is how the Lord according to order raised His Natural even up to the Divine, rising up step by step from external truth towards internal good. In the representative sense it is how the Lord according to a similar order makes man's natural new when regenerating him. The fact that a person who is being regenerated in adult life progresses according to the order described in the internal sense of this chapter and of those that follow is known to few. This fact is known to few because few stop to reflect on the matter and also because few at the present day are able to be regenerated; for the last days of the Church have arrived when no charity exists any longer, nor consequently any faith. This being so, people do not even know what faith is, even though the assertion 'men is saved by faith' is on everyone's lips; and not knowing this they therefore have even less knowledge of what charity is. And since they know no more than the terms faith and charity and have no knowledge of what these are essentially, it has therefore been stated that few are able to reflect on the order in accordance with which a person is made new or regenerated, and also that few are able to be regenerated.

[2] Because the subject here is the natural, and the latter is represented by 'Jacob', it is not said that he rose up and went to the land of the sons of the east but that 'he lifted up his feet'. Both these expressions mean a raising up. As regards 'rising up' having this meaning, see 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927, 3171; and as regards the expression 'lifting up the feet' which occurs here, this is used in reference to the natural - 'the feet' meaning the natural, see 2162, 3147. 'The feet' means the natural or natural things because of their correspondence with the Grand Man - currently the subject at the ends of chapters. In the Grand Man those belonging to the province of the feet are those who dwell in natural light and little spiritual light. This also is why the parts beneath the foot - the sole and the heel - mean the lowest natural things, see 259, and why 'a shoe', which is also mentioned several times in the Word, means the bodily-natural, which is the lowest part of all, 1748.

2145. 'He was sitting at the tent door' means the holiness which existed with Him at that time, namely the holiness of love, which is meant by 'as the day was getting warmer', dealt with in what follows next. This is clear from the meaning of 'a tent' as holiness, dealt with in 414, 1102, 1566. And for the reason why 'tents' meant forms of holiness, see the same paragraphs. Since the Lord at this time had the perception meant by the oak-groves of Mamre, which is a lower rational perception, yet more interior than that meant by the oak-grove of Moreh, dealt with in 1442, 1443, it is here represented and so is meant by his sitting at the tent door, that is, at the entrance to holiness. As regards perceptions being more interior or less interior, this may be illustrated from the perceptions which the most ancient people had. From these people I have heard that the more they were immersed in mere facts acquired from the objects of hearing and sight the lower their perceptions became; but the more they were raised up from them towards the celestial things of charity and love the more interior these perceptions became, as they were then closer to the Lord.
