Deuteronômio 2

Студија

   

1 Depois viramo-nos, e caminhamos para o deserto, pelo caminho do Mar Vermelho, como o Senhor me tinha dito, e por muitos dias rodeamos o monte Seir.

2 Então o Senhor me disse:

3 Basta de rodeardes este monte; virai-vos para o norte.

4 ordem ao povo, dizendo: Haveis de passar pelo território de vossos irmãos, os filhos de Esaú, que habitam em Seir; e eles terão medo de vós. Portanto guardai-vos bem;

5 não contendais com eles, porque não vos darei da sua terra nem sequer o que pisar a planta de um ; porquanto a Esaú dei o monte Seir por herança.

6 Comprareis deles por dinheiro mantimento para comerdes, como também comprareis deles água para beberdes.

7 Pois o Senhor teu Deus te há abençoado em toda obra das tuas mãos; ele tem conhecido o teu caminho por este grande deserto; estes quarenta anos o Senhor teu Deus tem estado contigo; nada te há faltado.

8 Assim, pois, passamos por nossos irmãos, os filhos de Esaú, que habitam em Seir, desde o caminho da Arabá de Elate e de Eziom-Geber: Depois nos viramos e passamos pelo caminho do deserto de Moabe.

9 Então o Senhor me disse: Não molestes aos de Moabe, e não contendas com eles em peleja, porque nada te darei da sua terra por herança; porquanto dei Ar por herança aos filhos de Ló.

10 (Antes haviam habitado nela os emins, povo grande e numeroso, e alto como os anaquins;

11 eles também são considerados refains como os anaquins; mas os moabitas lhes chamam emins.

12 Outrora os horeus também habitaram em Seir; porém os filhos de Esaú os desapossaram, e os destruíram de diante de si, e habitaram no lugar deles, assim come Israel fez à terra da sua herança, que o Senhor lhe deu.)

13 Levantai-vos agora, e passai o ribeiro de Zerede. Passamos, pois, o ribeiro de Zerede.

14 E os dias que caminhamos, desde Cades-Barnéia até passarmos o ribeiro de Zerede, foram trinta e oito anos, até que toda aquela geração dos homens de guerra se consumiu do meio do arraial, como o Senhor lhes jurara.

15 Também foi contra eles a mão do Senhor, para os destruir do meio do arraial, até os haver consumido.

16 Ora, sucedeu que, sendo já consumidos pela morte todos os homens de guerra dentre o povo,

17 o Senhor me disse:

18 Hoje passarás por Ar, o limite de Moabe;

19 e quando chegares defronte dos amonitas, não os molestes, e com eles não contendas, porque nada te darei da terra dos amonitas por herança; porquanto aos filhos de Ló a dei por herança.

20 (Também essa é considerada terra de refains; outrora habitavam nela refains, mas os amonitas lhes chamam zanzumins,

21 povo grande e numeroso, e alto como os anaquins; mas o Senhor os destruiu de diante dos amonitas; e estes, tendo-os desapossado, habitaram no lugar deles;

22 assim como fez pelos filhos de Esaú, que habitam em Seir, quando de diante deles destruiu os horeus; e os filhos de Esaú, havendo-os desapossado, habitaram no lugar deles até hoje.

23 Também os caftorins, que saíram de Caftor, destruíram os aveus, que habitavam em aldeias até Gaza, e habitaram no lugar deles.)

24 Levantai-vos, parti e passai o ribeiro de Arnom; eis que entreguei nas tuas mãos a Siom, o amorreu, rei de Hesbom, e à sua terra; começa a te apoderares dela, contendendo com eles em peleja.

25 Neste dia começarei a meter terror e medo de ti aos povos que estão debaixo de todo o céu; os quais, ao ouvirem a tua fama, tremerão e se angustiarão por causa de ti.

26 Então, do deserto de Quedemote, mandei mensageiros a Siom, rei de Hesbom, com palavras de paz, dizendo:

27 Deixa-me passar pela tua terra; somente pela estrada irei, não me desviando nem para a direita nem para a esquerda.

28 Por dinheiro me venderás mantimento, para que eu coma; e por dinheiro me darás a água, para que eu beba. Tão-somente deixa-me passar a ,

29 assim como me fizeram os filhos de Esaú, que habitam em Seir, e os moabitas que habitam em Ar; até que eu passe o Jordão para a terra que o Senhor nosso Deus nos .

30 Mas Siom, rei de Hesbom, não nos quis deixar passar por sua terra, porquanto o Senhor teu Deus lhe endurecera o espírito, e lhe fizera obstinado o coração, para to entregar nas mãos, como hoje se vê.

31 Disse-me, pois, o Senhor: Eis aqui, comecei a entregar-te Siom e a sua terra; começa, pois, a te apoderares dela, para possuíres a sua terra por herança.

32 Então Siom nos saiu ao encontro, ele e todo o seu povo, à peleja, em Jaza;

33 e o Senhor nosso Deus no-lo entregou, e o ferimos a ele, e a seus filhos, e a todo o seu povo.

34 Também naquele tempo lhe tomamos todas as cidades, e fizemos perecer a todos, homens, mulheres e pequeninos, não deixando sobrevivente algum;

35 somente tomamos por presa o gado para nós, juntamente com o despojo das cidades que havíamos tomado.

36 Desde Aroer, que está à borda do vale do Arnom, e desde a cidade que está no vale, até Gileade, nenhuma cidade houve tão alta que de nós escapasse; tudo o Senhor nosso Deus no-lo entregou.

37 Somente à terra dos amonitas não chegastes, nem a parte alguma da borda do ribeiro de Jaboque, nem a cidade alguma da região montanhosa, nem a coisa alguma que o Senhor nosso Deus proibira.

9857. 'And you shall make a breastplate of judgement' means that which has regard to Divine Truth shining forth from Divine Good. This is clear from the meaning of 'a breastplate' as Divine Truth shining forth from the Lord's Divine Good within last and lowest things, dealt with in 9823. It is called 'a breastplate of judgement' because it gave answers, and through these Divine Truth was revealed; furthermore Divine Truth, and therefore doctrinal teachings and a life in accord with them, is meant in the Word by 'judgement'. This then is why this breastplate is referred to as 'the breastplate of judgement', and also further on in this chapter as 'the judgement', in verse 30 - 'Aaron shall carry the judgement of the children of Israel over his heart before Jehovah continually'. And when Joshua was chosen to be leader of the people, it says that he was to stand before Eleazar the priest, who would inquire for him by the judgement of the Urim before Jehovah, Numbers 27:21.

[2] 'Judgement' means Divine Truth and intelligence springing from It, as a consequence of which it means religious teachings and a life in accord with them. This is clear from a large number of places in the Word, such as the following: In Isaiah,

The vineyard of Jehovah Zebaoth is the house of Israel. He looked for judgement, but behold, festering; for righteousness, but behold, a cry. Isaiah 5:7.

'Looking for judgement' means intelligence springing from Divine Truth, and a life in accord with the commandments. In the same prophet,

On the throne there sat in truthfulness, in the tabernacle of David, one who judges and seeks judgement. Isaiah 16:5.

This refers to the Lord's Coming. 'The throne' on which He is going to sit means Divine Truth that emanates from Him, and consequently means the spiritual kingdom, see 2129, 5313, 6397, 8625, 9039. 'Judging judgement' means teaching Divine Truth, and 'seeking judgement' people's acceptance of it.

[3] In the same prophet,

On that day Jehovah will be a tiara of beauty for the remnant of His people, and a spirit of judgement to him who sits in judgement. Isaiah 28:5-6.

'A tiara of beauty', when these words have reference to Jehovah, that is, the Lord, means Divine Intelligence, see above in 9827; and 'a spirit of judgement' means wisdom that springs from Divine Truth, 9818. 'To him who sits in judgement' means one who informs people about or teaches Divine Truth. In the same prophet,

Jehovah has filled Zion with judgement and righteousness. Isaiah 33:5.

'Zion' stands for the celestial Church, 'being filled with judgement' for intelligence that springs from Divine Truth, and 'being filled with righteousness' for wisdom that comes from Divine Good.

[4] In the same prophet,

Who has directed the Spirit of Jehovah? With whom did He deliberate, that He might make Him intelligent, and instruct Him in the way of judgement, and teach Him knowledge, and show Him the way of intelligence? Isaiah 40:13-14.

'The Spirit of Jehovah' means Divine Truth, 9818. 'Instructing Him in the way of judgement' self-evidently means making him knowledgeable, intelligent, and wise. In Jeremiah,

The stork in the sky knows her appointed times, but Jehovah's people do not know the judgement of Jehovah. How can you say, We are wise, and the law of Jehovah is with us? Jeremiah 8:7-8.

'Not knowing the judgement of Jehovah' stands for ignorance of Divine Truth, the source of wisdom; and this is why it says, 'How can you say, We are wise?'

[5] In the same prophet,

Woe to him who builds his house without righteousness, and his upper rooms without judgement! Jeremiah 22:13.

'Building upper rooms without judgement' stands for absorbing ideas that are not true. In Hosea,

I will betroth you to Me forever in righteousness and in judgement, and I will betroth you to Me in truth. Hosea 2:19-20.

'Betrothing in judgement' stands for joining by means of Divine Truth, thus by means of faith and the life of faith. In Amos,

Let judgement flow like water, and righteousness like a mighty torrent. Amos 5:24.

In the same prophet,

You have turned judgement into poison and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood. Amos 6:12.

Here also 'judgement' stands for intelligence that springs from Divine Truth, and for a life based on this.

[6] In Zephaniah,

Jehovah in the morning will bring His judgement to light. Zephaniah 3:5.

'Bringing judgement to light' stands for revealing Divine Truth. In Moses,

All the ways of Jehovah are judgement. Deuteronomy 32:4.

In David,

O Jehovah, Your truth reaches up to the skies, Your righteousness is like the mountains of God, Your judgements [like] the great abyss. Psalms 36:5-6.

In the same author,

Jehovah will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgement as the noonday. Psalms 37:6.

In the same author,

Hear my voice according to Your mercy; O Jehovah, revive me according to Your judgements. Psalms 119:149.

In these places 'judgement' and 'judgements' stand for Divine Truth.

[7] In Luke,

Woe to you Pharisees! You pass by the judgement and the love of God. These you ought to have done. Luke 11:42.

'Passing by the judgement of God' stands for shunning Divine Truth, and 'passing by the love of God' for shunning Divine Good and a life inspired by them both. The fact that this life is also meant accounts for their being told, These you ought to have done. In Isaiah,

Jehovah Zebaoth will be exalted in judgement, and God will be made holy in righteousness. Isaiah 5:16.

In the same author,

... upon the throne of David to establish the kingdom in judgement and in righteousness, from now and even for evermore. Isaiah 9:7.

In the same author,

Give counsel, execute judgement, set your shade like the night in the middle of the day. Isaiah 16:3.

'Executing judgement' stands for acting in accordance with God's truth.

[8] In Jeremiah,

I will raise up for David a righteous branch, who will execute judgement and righteousness in the land. Jeremiah 23:5; 33:15.

In Ezekiel,

If a man has been righteous, one who has executed judgement and righteousness ... [if he] walks in My statutes, and keeps My judgements, to execute truth, he is righteous; he will surely live. Ezekiel 18:5, 9.

In Zephaniah,

Seek Jehovah, O all the meek of the earth, who have executed His judgement. Zephaniah 2:3.

'Executing God's judgement' stands for carrying out Divine Truth or acting in accord with it. In Isaiah,

I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth judgement to the nations. He will not quench nor will He break until He has set judgement on the earth. Isaiah 42:1, 4.

This refers to the Lord. 'Bringing forth judgement to the nations' and 'setting judgement on the earth' stand for teaching Divine Truth and establishing it in the Church.

[9] In the same prophet,

Law will go out from Me, and I will raise up My judgement to be the light of peoples. Isaiah 51:4.

'Judgement' stands for Divine Truth, 'to be the light of peoples' for to bring enlightenment. In John,

For judgement I came 1 into this world, that those who do not see may see, but those who see may become blind. John 9:39.

'Coming into the world for judgement' stands for coming to reveal Divine Truth, which gives people vision if the Lord is the source of their wisdom, but makes them blind if they themselves are the source of it and on account of this are reputed to be learned.

[10] In Jeremiah,

Swear by the living Jehovah, in truth, in judgement, and in righteousness. Jeremiah 4:2.

In the same prophet,

There is none judging judgement for healthiness; you have no restorative medicaments. Jeremiah 30:13.

In David,

Righteousness and judgement are the support of Your throne; mercy and truth will stand firm before Your face. Psalms 89:14.

'Righteousness' stands for the good that belongs to mercy, and 'judgement' for the truth that belongs to faith, which is why the expression 'mercy and truth' is also used. In Ezekiel,

Jerusalem has changed My judgements into wickedness more than the nations, and My statutes more than the lands. Therefore I will execute in you [My] judgements in the eyes of the nations, and I will scatter all your remnant. Ezekiel 5:6-8, 10, 15.

'Changing judgements' stands for altering truths as they exist in the civic state, these truths being meant by 'judgements' when 'statutes' are also mentioned, see 8972. But 'executing judgements' means passing judgement that points to death, which is damnation, or to life, which is salvation. Salvation or damnation is also meant by 'judgement' when the expression 'day of judgement' or 'hour of judgement' is used, for example in Matthew 11:22, 24; 12:36, 41-42; Luke 10:14; 11:31-32; John 5:28-29; Revelation 14:7; 18:10. The same thing is also meant by 'judgement' when judgement-making is referred to, for example in Matthew 5:21-22; 7:1-2; 23:14, 33; John 5:24, 26-27; 7:24; 8:15-16; 12:31, 47-48; Luke 6:37; 12:13-14, 56-57; 19:21-22; 20:47; 22:30; Mark 12:40; Isaiah 3:14; 41:1; Jeremiah 25:31; 48:21; Joel 3:12; Psalms 7:7-8; 9:4, 7-8; Leviticus 19:15; Deuteronomy 1:16-17; 25:1; Revelation 17:1; 18:10; 20:12-13.
