Deuteronomy 5

1 And Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears today, that you may learn them, and keep to do them.

2 Jehovah our God cut a covenant with us in Horeb.

3 Jehovah cut not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, these here, all of us living today.

4 Jehovah spoke with you face to face in the mountain out of the midst of the fire

5 (I stood between Jehovah and you at that time, to tell you the word of Jehovah; for you were fearful in the face of the fire, and went· not ·up into the mountain), saying,

6 I am Jehovah thy God, who brought· thee ·out of the land of Egypt, out·​·of the house of servitude*.

7 Thou shalt have no other gods before My faces.

8 Thou shalt not make to thee a graven image, any figure of what is in the heavens above, or what is in the earth beneath, or what is in the waters beneath the earth;

9 thou shalt not bow·​·down thyself to them, nor serve them; for I, Jehovah thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the sons, and on the third and on the fourth generation* of those who hate Me,

10 and doing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

11 Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain; for Jehovah will not hold· him ·innocent who takes His name in vain.

12 Observe the Sabbath day to keep· it ·holy, as Jehovah thy God has commanded thee.

13 Six days thou shalt serve, and do all thy work*;

14 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of Jehovah thy God; thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy servant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine donkey, nor any beast of thine, nor thy sojourner who is in thy gates; so·​·that thy servant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.

15 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that Jehovah thy God brought· thee ·out thence by a firm hand and by a stretched·​·out arm; therefore Jehovah thy God commanded thee to do the Sabbath day.

16 Honor thy father and thy mother, as Jehovah thy God has commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may be·​·well with thee, upon the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.

17 Thou shalt not murder.

18 And thou shalt not commit·​·adultery.

19 And thou shalt not steal.

20 And thou shalt not answer against thy neighbor as a vain witness*.

21 18 And thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, and thou shalt not lust·​·after thy neighbor’s house, his field, or his servant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his donkey, or any thing that is thy neighbor’s.

22 19 These words Jehovah spoke to all your assembly in the mountain from the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the dense·​·darkness, with a great voice; and He added not. And He wrote them on two tablets of stone, and gave them to me.

23 20 And it was, when you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness (for the mountain did burn with fire), that you came·​·near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;

24 21 and you said, Behold, Jehovah our God has showed us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire; this day we have seen that God speaks with man, and he lives.

25 22 And now why should we die? for this great fire will devour us; if we again hear the voice of Jehovah our God, then we shall die.

26 23 For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?

27 24 Come· thou ·near, and hear all that Jehovah our God shall say; and speak thou to us all that Jehovah our God shall speak to thee; and we will hear it, and do it.

28 25 And Jehovah heard the voice of your words, when you spoke to me; and Jehovah said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken to thee; they have well said all that they have spoken.

29 26 O that there were such a heart in them, that they would fear Me, and keep all My commandments all the days, that it might be well with them, and with their sons for eternity!

30 27 Go say to them, Return into your tents.

31 28 But as for thee, stand here with·​·Me, and I will speak to thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give to them to possess it.

32 29 And you shall take·​·heed to do as Jehovah your God has commanded you; you shall not turn·​·aside, right or left.

33 30 You shall walk in all the ways which Jehovah your God has commanded you, so·​·that you may live, and that it may be·​·well for you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.

Beast

  
"Noah and His Ark" by Charles Willson Peale

In Genesis 1:24, beasts signify the things of man's will or loves. (Arcana Coelestia 44, 46)

In Genesis 9:10, beasts signify all that was living in the man of the Ancient Church, and also what belonged to his new will; likewise the lower things of his understanding and the will therefrom. (Arcana Coelestia 1026-1029)

In Psalm 104:20, beasts signify affections longing to be instructed, or spiritually nourished. (Apocalypse Explained 650[10])

In Luke 10:35, since the beast was a donkey, this signifies to instruct another according to his capability. (Apocalypse Explained 1154)

The beast of the south (Isaiah 30:6) signifies people who are principled in the knowledges of good and of truth, but do not apply them to life and instead to science.

Every beast and creeping thing (Genesis 8:19) signifies the goodnesses of the internal and external man.

"Beasts" represent the affection for doing good things, a true desire to do them from the heart. In the negative sense, "beasts" stand for the lust to do evil.

The beast ascending out of the sea (Revelation 13:1) signifies reasonings from the natural man confirming the separation of faith from life.

Revelation 13

1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names.

2 The beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.

3 One of his heads looked like it had been wounded fatally. His fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled at the beast.

4 They worshiped the dragon, because he gave his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?"

5 A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him.

6 He opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his dwelling, those who dwell in heaven.

7 It was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him.

8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed.

9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear.

10 If anyone is to go into captivity, he will go into captivity. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, he must be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.

11 I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a dragon.

12 He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. He makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.

13 He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the sight of people.

14 He deceives my own people who dwell on the earth because of the signs he was granted to do in front of the beast; saying to those who dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast who had the sword wound and lived.

15 It was given to him to give breath to it, to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as wouldn't worship the image of the beast to be killed.

16 He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, to be given marks on their right hands, or on their foreheads;

17 and that no one would be able to buy or to sell, unless he has that mark, the name of the beast or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred sixty-six.
