1 ως δ' ηκουσαν οι βασιλεις των αμορραιων οι εν τω περαν του ιορδανου οι εν τη ορεινη και οι εν τη πεδινη και οι εν παση τη παραλια της θαλασσης της μεγαλης και οι προς τω αντιλιβανω και οι χετταιοι και οι χαναναιοι και οι φερεζαιοι και οι ευαιοι και οι αμορραιοι και οι γεργεσαιοι και οι ιεβουσαιοι

2 συνηλθοσαν επι το αυτο εκπολεμησαι ιησουν και ισραηλ αμα παντες

2a τοτε ωκοδομησεν ιησους θυσιαστηριον κυριω τω θεω ισραηλ εν ορει γαιβαλ

2b καθοτι ενετειλατο μωυσης ο θεραπων κυριου τοις υιοις ισραηλ καθα γεγραπται εν τω νομω μωυση θυσιαστηριον λιθων ολοκληρων εφ' ους ουκ επεβληθη σιδηρος και ανεβιβασεν εκει ολοκαυτωματα κυριω και θυσιαν σωτηριου

2c και εγραψεν ιησους επι των λιθων το δευτερονομιον νομον μωυση ον εγραψεν ενωπιον υιων ισραηλ

2d και πας ισραηλ και οι πρεσβυτεροι αυτων και οι δικασται και οι γραμματεις αυτων παρεπορευοντο ενθεν και ενθεν της κιβωτου απεναντι και οι ιερεις και οι λευιται ηραν την κιβωτον της διαθηκης κυριου και ο προσηλυτος και ο αυτοχθων οι ησαν ημισυ πλησιον ορους γαριζιν και οι ησαν ημισυ πλησιον ορους γαιβαλ καθοτι ενετειλατο μωυσης ο θεραπων κυριου ευλογησαι τον λαον εν πρωτοις

2e και μετα ταυτα ουτως ανεγνω ιησους παντα τα ρηματα του νομου τουτου τας ευλογιας και τας καταρας κατα παντα τα γεγραμμενα εν τω νομω μωυση

2f ουκ ην ρημα απο παντων ων ενετειλατο μωυσης τω ιησοι ο ουκ ανεγνω ιησους εις τα ωτα πασης εκκλησιας υιων ισραηλ τοις ανδρασιν και ταις γυναιξιν και τοις παιδιοις και τοις προσηλυτοις τοις προσπορευομενοις τω ισραηλ

3 και οι κατοικουντες γαβαων ηκουσαν παντα οσα εποιησεν κυριος τη ιεριχω και τη γαι

4 και εποιησαν και γε αυτοι μετα πανουργιας και ελθοντες επεσιτισαντο και ητοιμασαντο και λαβοντες σακκους παλαιους επι των ονων αυτων και ασκους οινου παλαιους και κατερρωγοτας αποδεδεμενους

5 και τα κοιλα των υποδηματων αυτων και τα σανδαλια αυτων παλαια και καταπεπελματωμενα εν τοις ποσιν αυτων και τα ιματια αυτων πεπαλαιωμενα επανω αυτων και ο αρτος αυτων του επισιτισμου ξηρος και ευρωτιων και βεβρωμενος

6 και ηλθοσαν προς ιησουν εις την παρεμβολην ισραηλ εις γαλγαλα και ειπαν προς ιησουν και ισραηλ εκ γης μακροθεν ηκαμεν και νυν διαθεσθε ημιν διαθηκην

7 και ειπαν οι υιοι ισραηλ προς τον χορραιον ορα μη εν εμοι κατοικεις και πως σοι διαθωμαι διαθηκην

8 και ειπαν προς ιησουν οικεται σου εσμεν και ειπεν προς αυτους ιησους ποθεν εστε και ποθεν παραγεγονατε

9 και ειπαν εκ γης μακροθεν σφοδρα ηκασιν οι παιδες σου εν ονοματι κυριου του θεου σου ακηκοαμεν γαρ το ονομα αυτου και οσα εποιησεν εν αιγυπτω

10 και οσα εποιησεν τοις βασιλευσιν των αμορραιων οι ησαν περαν του ιορδανου τω σηων βασιλει εσεβων και τω ωγ βασιλει της βασαν ος κατωκει εν ασταρωθ και εν εδραιν

11 και ακουσαντες ειπαν προς ημας οι πρεσβυτεροι ημων και παντες οι κατοικουντες την γην ημων λεγοντες λαβετε εαυτοις επισιτισμον εις την οδον και πορευθητε εις συναντησιν αυτων και ερειτε προς αυτους οικεται σου εσμεν και νυν διαθεσθε ημιν διαθηκην

12 ουτοι οι αρτοι θερμους εφωδιασθημεν αυτους εν τη ημερα η εξηλθομεν παραγενεσθαι προς υμας νυν δε εξηρανθησαν και γεγονασιν βεβρωμενοι

13 και ουτοι οι ασκοι του οινου ους επλησαμεν καινους και ουτοι ερρωγασιν και τα ιματια ημων και τα υποδηματα ημων πεπαλαιωται απο της πολλης οδου σφοδρα

14 και ελαβον οι αρχοντες του επισιτισμου αυτων και κυριον ουκ επηρωτησαν

15 και εποιησεν ιησους προς αυτους ειρηνην και διεθετο προς αυτους διαθηκην του διασωσαι αυτους και ωμοσαν αυτοις οι αρχοντες της συναγωγης

16 και εγενετο μετα τρεις ημερας μετα το διαθεσθαι προς αυτους διαθηκην ηκουσαν οτι εγγυθεν αυτων εισιν και οτι εν αυτοις κατοικουσιν

17 και απηραν οι υιοι ισραηλ και ηλθον εις τας πολεις αυτων αι δε πολεις αυτων γαβαων και κεφιρα και βηρωθ και πολις ιαριν

18 και ουκ εμαχεσαντο αυτοις οι υιοι ισραηλ οτι ωμοσαν αυτοις παντες οι αρχοντες κυριον τον θεον ισραηλ και διεγογγυσαν πασα η συναγωγη επι τοις αρχουσιν

19 και ειπαν οι αρχοντες παση τη συναγωγη ημεις ωμοσαμεν αυτοις κυριον τον θεον ισραηλ και νυν ου δυνησομεθα αψασθαι αυτων

20 τουτο ποιησομεν ζωγρησαι αυτους και περιποιησομεθα αυτους και ουκ εσται καθ' ημων οργη δια τον ορκον ον ωμοσαμεν αυτοις

21 ζησονται και εσονται ξυλοκοποι και υδροφοροι παση τη συναγωγη καθαπερ ειπαν αυτοις οι αρχοντες

22 και συνεκαλεσεν αυτους ιησους και ειπεν αυτοις δια τι παρελογισασθε με λεγοντες μακραν απο σου εσμεν σφοδρα υμεις δε εγχωριοι εστε των κατοικουντων εν ημιν

23 και νυν επικαταρατοι εστε ου μη εκλιπη εξ υμων δουλος ουδε ξυλοκοπος εμοι και τω θεω μου

24 και απεκριθησαν τω ιησοι λεγοντες ανηγγελη ημιν οσα συνεταξεν κυριος ο θεος σου μωυση τω παιδι αυτου δουναι υμιν την γην ταυτην και εξολεθρευσαι ημας και παντας τους κατοικουντας επ' αυτης απο προσωπου υμων και εφοβηθημεν σφοδρα περι των ψυχων ημων απο προσωπου υμων και εποιησαμεν το πραγμα τουτο

25 και νυν ιδου ημεις υποχειριοι υμιν ως αρεσκει υμιν και ως δοκει υμιν ποιησατε ημιν

26 και εποιησαν αυτοις ουτως και εξειλατο αυτους ιησους εν τη ημερα εκεινη εκ χειρων υιων ισραηλ και ουκ ανειλον αυτους

27 και κατεστησεν αυτους ιησους εν τη ημερα εκεινη ξυλοκοπους και υδροφορους παση τη συναγωγη και τω θυσιαστηριω του θεου δια τουτο εγενοντο οι κατοικουντες γαβαων ξυλοκοποι και υδροφοροι του θυσιαστηριου του θεου εως της σημερον ημερας και εις τον τοπον ον εαν εκλεξηται κυριος

1616. And Abram pitched his tent, and came and dwelt in the oak-groves of Mamre that are in Hebron. That this signifies that the Lord attained to a perception still more internal, is evident from the signification of “pitching a tent,” that is, of moving and fixing a tent, as being to be conjoined,—for a “tent” is the holy of worship (as shown before, n. 414, 1452), by which the external man is conjoined with the internal-and from the signification of an “oak-grove,” as being perception, as explained above (n. 1442, 1443), where it was “the oak-grove of Moreh,” which is the first perception; but here, “the oak-groves of Mamre,” in the plural, which signify more perception, that is, perception more internal. This perception is called “the oak-groves of Mamre that are in Hebron.” “Mamre” is also mentioned elsewhere (as in Genesis 14:13; 18:1; 23:17-19; 35:27), and Hebron likewise (as in Genesis 35:27; 37:14; Josh. 10:36, 39; 14:13-14, 15; 15:13, 54; 20:7; 21:11, 13; Judges 1:10, 20; and in other places); but with what signification, will of the Lord’s Divine mercy be seen where these passages are explained.

[2] As to “the oak-groves of Mamre that are in Hebron” signifying a still more internal perception, the case is as follows. As the things that are of the external man are conjoined with the celestial things of the internal man, so perception increases and becomes more internal. Conjunction with celestial things gives perception; for in the celestial things that are of love to Jehovah is the very life of the internal man; or what is the same, in the celestial things that are of love, that is, in celestial love, Jehovah is present, which presence is not perceived in the external man until conjunction has been effected, all perception being from conjunction.

[3] From the internal sense it is here evident how the case was with the Lord, namely, that His external man, or the Human Essence, was conjoined with the Divine Essence by degrees, according to the multiplication and fructification of knowledges. In no way can anyone, as a man, be conjoined with Jehovah or the Lord, except by means of knowledges, for by means of knowledges a man becomes a man; and so the Lord, because born as are other men, was also instructed as they are, but into His knowledges as receptacles celestial things were constantly being insinuated, so that the knowledges continually became the recipient vessels of celestial things, and themselves also became celestial.

[4] He continually advanced in this way to the celestial things of infancy for, as before said, the celestial things that are of love are insinuated from the earliest infancy up to childhood, and also to youth, when being a man he is then and afterwards imbued with knowledges [scientiae et cognitiones]. If the man is such that he can be regenerated, these knowledges are then filled with the celestial things that are of love and charity, and are thus implanted in the celestial things with which he has been gifted from infancy up to childhood and youth; and thus his external man is conjoined with his internal man.

They are first implanted in the celestial things with which he was gifted in youth, next in those with which he was gifted in childhood, and finally in those with which he was gifted in infancy; and then he is a “little child,” of whom the Lord said that “of such is the kingdom of God.” This implantation is effected by the Lord alone; and for this reason nothing celestial is possible with man, nor can be, that is not from the Lord, and that is not the Lord’s.

[5] But the Lord from His own power conjoined His external man with His internal man, and filled His knowledges with celestial things, and implanted them in the celestial things, and this in fact according to Divine order; first in the celestial things of His childhood, next in the celestial things of the age between childhood and infancy; and finally in the celestial things of His infancy; and thus at the same time became, as to the Human Essence, innocence itself and love itself, from which are all innocence and all love in the heavens and on earth. Such innocence is true infancy, because it is at the same time wisdom. But the innocence of infancy, unless by means of knowledges it becomes the innocence of wisdom, is of no use; and therefore in the other life infants are imbued with knowledges. As the Lord implanted knowledges in celestial things, so had He perception, for, as before said, all perception is from conjunction. He had His first perception when He implanted the memory-knowledges of childhood, which perception is signified by “the oak-grove of Moreh;” and His second, treated of here, which is more internal, when He implanted knowledges, which perception is signified by “the oak-groves of Mamre that are in Hebron.”
