1 耶和華的靈(原文是)降在我身上。耶和華藉他的靈帶我出去,將我放在平原中;這平原遍滿骸

2 他使我從骸骨的四圍經過,誰知在平原的骸骨甚多,而且極其枯乾。

3 他對我:人子啊,這些骸能復活麼?我耶和華啊,你是知道的。

4 他又對我:你向這些骸發預言:枯乾的骸啊,要耶和華的

5 耶和華對這些骸如此:我必使氣息進入你們裡面,你們就要活了。

6 我必你們加上,使你們長,又將遮蔽你們,使氣息進入你們裡面,你們就要活了;你們便知道我是耶和華

7 於是,我遵命說預言。正說預言的時候,不料,有響聲,有地震;互相聯絡。

8 我觀,見骸骨上有,也長了,又有遮蔽其上,只是還沒有氣息。

9 對我:人子啊,你要發預言,向發預言,耶和華如此:氣息啊,要從方(原文是)而,吹在這些被殺的人身上,使他們活了。

10 於是我遵命說預言,氣息就進入骸骨,骸骨便活了,並且站起,成為極軍隊

11 主對我:人子啊,這些骸就是以色列全家。他們:我們的骨頭枯乾了,我們的指望失去了,我們滅絕淨盡了。

12 所以你要發預言對他們耶和華如此:我的民哪,我必開你們的墳墓,使你們從墳墓中出,領你們進入以色列地。

13 我的民哪,我開你們的墳墓,使你們從墳墓中出來,你們就知道我是耶和華

14 我必將我的靈放在你們裡面,你們就要活了。我將你們安置在本地,你們就知道我─耶和華如此,也如此成就了。這是耶和華的。

15 耶和華的又臨到我說:

16 人子啊,你要取杖,在其上猶大和他的同伴以色列人;又取杖,在其上為約瑟,就是為以法蓮,又為他的同伴以色列全家。

17 你要使這兩根杖接連為,在你中成為根。

18 你本國的子民問你:這是甚麼意思?你不指示我們麼?

19 你就對他們耶和華如此:我要將約瑟和他同伴以色列支派的杖,就是那在以法蓮中的,與猶大的杖同接連為,在我中成為根。

20 你所的那兩根杖要在他們眼前拿在中,

21 要對他們耶和華如此:我要將以色列人從他們所到的各國收取,又從四圍聚集他們,引導他們歸回本地。

22 我要使他們在那,在以色列上成為國,有王作他們眾民的王。他們不再為國,決不再分為國;

23 也不再因偶像和可憎的物,並一切的罪過玷污自己。我卻要他們出離一切的處,就是他們犯罪的地方;我要潔淨他們,如此,他們要作我的子民,我要作他們的

24 我的僕人大衛必作他們的王;眾民必歸個牧人。他們必順從我的典章,謹守遵行我的律例。

25 他們必在我賜僕人雅各上,就是你們列祖所。他們和他們的子孫,並子孫的子孫,都永遠在那裡。我的僕人大衛必作他們的王,直到永遠

26 並且我要與他們立平安的約,作為永約。我也要將他們安置在本地,使他們的人數增多,又在他們中間設立我的聖所,直到永遠

27 我的居所必在他們中間;我要作他們的,他們要作我的子民。

28 我的所在以色列人中間直到永遠外邦人就必知道我是叫以色列成為耶和華

9817. 'And you shall speak to all the wise at heart' means an influx from the Lord through the Word into all who are governed by the good of love. This is clear from the meaning of 'speaking' as influx, dealt with in 2951, 5481, 5743, 5797, 7270; and from the meaning of 'the wise at heart' as those who are governed by the good of love, dealt with below. The reason why influx from the Lord through the Word is meant is that for members of the Church the main channel by which the Lord flows in is the Word. This is so because the nature of the Word is such that all things without exception there correspond to the Divine spiritual and Divine celestial realities that exist in the heavens; and as a result of this a person shares affections and thoughts with angels, in so complete a manner that he and they are seemingly one. So it is that the world has been joined to heaven through the Word, but only among those who are governed by the good of faith and love. From all this it becomes clear that for members of the Church the Lord flows in through the Word; for the Lord is the all in the heavens, since what is Divine and emanates from the Lord, and is received by angels, composes heaven.

[2] The reason why 'the wise at heart' means those who are governed by the good of love is that the presence of wisdom in a person is attributable to the life of heaven in him, also that 'heart' means the good of love. In the Word 'spirit' and 'heart' are expressions that have regard to the life of heaven present with a person, 'spirit' being used to mean that life in the understanding part of the person's mind and 'heart' that life in the will part. To the understanding part belongs truth, but to the will part belongs good; the former has to do with faith, but the latter with love. For the understanding receives truths that constitute faith, and the will forms of good that are aspects of love. From this it is evident that by 'the wise at heart' those governed by the good of love received from the Lord are meant. The good of love is celestial good, through which spiritual good comes into being; and spiritual good is that which covers celestial good, like garments the body. And since Aaron's garments represented the Lord's spiritual kingdom lying adjacent to His celestial kingdom, and the former comes into being through the latter, the present verse goes on to say that 'the wise at heart', that is, those governed by the good of love received from the Lord, should make the garments for Aaron and his sons. As regards 'heart', that it means the good of love or celestial good, see 3635, 3880, 3883-3896, 9050; and that it therefore means the will, 2930, 3888, 7542, 8910, 9113, 9300, 9495.

Arcana Coelestia # 5668

5668. 'And gave them water' means a general influx of truth from the internal. This is clear from the meaning of 'water' as truth, 2702, 3058, 3414, 4976, in this case truth in general. This is why 'giving water' means a general influx of truth; and the reason it comes from the internal is that this took place in Joseph's house, 5667. A general influx of truth is enlightenment that makes it possible for truth to be discerned and understood. This enlightenment is provided by the light of heaven which flows from the Lord, a light which is nothing else than Divine Truth, 2776, 3138, 3167, 3195, 3222, 3339, 3485, 3636, 3643, 3993, 4302, 4413, 4415, 5400.
