Ezekiel 46

Дослідження

   

1 Tiele diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo:La pordego de la interna korto, kiu estas turnita al oriento, estu sxlosita dum la ses laboraj tagoj, sed en la tago sabata gxi estu malfermita, kaj ankaux en la monatkomenco gxi estu malfermita.

2 Kaj la princo eniros tra la portiko de la pordego el ekstere, kaj starigxos cxe la fosto de la pordego; kaj la pastroj faros lian bruloferon kaj lian pacoferon; kaj li adorklinigxos sur la sojlo de la pordego kaj eliros; sed la pordego ne estos ne estos sxlosita gxis vespero.

3 La popolo de la lando adorklinigxos antaux la Eternulo cxe la enirejo de tiu pordego en la sabatoj kaj en la monatkomencoj.

4 La brulofero, kiun la princo alportos al la Eternulo en sabato, estos:ses sendifektaj sxafidoj kaj unu sendifekta virsxafo;

5 kaj da farunofero unu efo por la virsxafo, kaj da farunofero por la sxafidoj tiom, kiom povas doni lia mano, kaj po unu hino da oleo por cxiu efo.

6 En la tago de la monatkomenco:sendifekta bovido kaj ses sxafidoj kaj sendifekta virsxafo;

7 kaj farunoferon li faru:unu efon por la bovido, kaj unu efon por la virsxafo, kaj por la sxafidoj tiom, kiom povas doni lia mano, kaj po unu hino da oleo por cxiu efo.

8 Kiam la princo venos, li devas eniri tra la portiko de la pordego, kaj laux la sama vojo li devas eliri.

9 Kaj kiam la popolo de la lando venos antaux la Eternulon en la festoj, tiam tiuj, kiuj eniris tra la norda pordego, por adorklinigxi, devas eliri tra la suda pordego, kaj tiuj, kiuj eniris tra la suda pordego, devas eliri tra la norda pordego; oni devas ne iri returne tra tiu pordego, tra kiu oni eniris, sed oni devas eliri tra la kontrauxa.

10 Kaj la princo estos inter ili:kiam ili eniros, li ankaux eniros, kaj kiam ili eliros, li ankaux eliros.

11 En la festoj kaj en la solenaj tagoj la farunofero devas esti unu efo por la bovido, kaj unu efo por la virsxafo, kaj por la sxafidoj tiom, kiom povas doni lia mano, kaj po unu hino da oleo por cxiu efo.

12 Kiam la princo alportos al la Eternulo memvolan bruloferon aux memvolan pacoferon, tiam oni devas malfermi antaux li la pordegon, turnitan al oriento, kaj li faros sian bruloferon aux sian pacoferon tiel, kiel li faras gxin en la tago sabata; poste li eliros, kaj post lia eliro oni sxlosos la pordegon.

13 Unujaran sxafidon sendifektan li alportu kiel bruloferon cxiutage al la Eternulo; cxiumatene li alportu gxin.

14 Kaj farunoferon li alportu kune kun gxi cxiumatene:sesonon de efo, kaj trionon de hino da oleo, por sxprucigi sur la farunon; tio devas esti la porcxiama legxo pri la farunofero al la Eternulo.

15 Tiamaniere oni alportu cxiumatene la sxafidon kaj la farunoferon kaj la oleon, kiel konstantan bruloferon.

16 Tiele diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo:Se la princo donos donacon al iu el siaj filoj, gxi farigxu heredajxo por liaj filoj; tio estu ilia hereda posedajxo.

17 Sed se li donos donacon el sia heredajxo al unu el siaj sklavoj, gxi apartenu al li gxis la jaro de libereco, kaj poste gxi revenu al la princo; nur la heredajxo donacita al liaj filoj devas resti cxe ili.

18 La princo ne prenu ion el la heredajxo de la popolanoj, elpremante ilin el ilia terposedajxo:nur el sia terposedajxo li povas doni heredon al siaj filoj, por ke neniu el Mia popolo estu elpusxita el sia terposedajxo.

19 Kaj li venigis min tra la enirejo, kiu estis flanke de la pordego, al la sanktaj cxambroj, kiuj apartenas al la pastroj kaj kiuj estas turnitaj norden; kaj jen mi tie vidis lokon cxe la rando okcidente.

20 Kaj li diris al mi:CXi tie estas la loko, kie la pastroj devas kuiri la kulpoferon kaj la pekoferon kaj kie ili devas baki la farunoferon, ne alportante tion sur la eksteran korton, por ne sanktigi la popolon.

21 Kaj li elkondukis min sur la eksteran korton, kaj alkondukis min al la kvar anguloj de la korto; kaj mi vidis, ke en cxiu angulo de la korto trovigxas ankoraux korto.

22 En la kvar anguloj de la korto trovigxis aldonaj kortetoj, havantaj la longon de kvardek ulnoj kaj la largxon de tridek; la saman mezuron havis cxiuj kvar kortetoj.

23 Kaj mureto estis cxirkauxe, cxirkaux cxiuj kvar, kaj kuirlokoj estis arangxitaj malsupre cxe tiuj muretoj cxirkauxe.

24 Kaj li diris al mi:Jen estas la kuirejoj, kie la servistoj de la domo devas kuiri la oferojn de la popolo.

52. 6. Jehovah himself - that is, the Lord - spoke the Word through prophets.

We read of the prophets that they had visions and that Jehovah talked with them. When they had visions, they were not focused on their bodies but on the spirit, in which state they saw things of a heavenly nature. When Jehovah talked with them, though, they were conscious of their bodies and heard Jehovah speaking.

We need to draw a clear distinction between these two states. In a visionary state, the eyes of their spirit were open and the eyes of their body were closed; and at such times they seemed to themselves to be taken from place to place while their bodies stayed where they were. Ezekiel, Zechariah, and Daniel were in this state at times, and so was John when he wrote the Book of Revelation. They were then said to be in a vision or in the spirit. In fact, Ezekiel says,

The spirit lifted me up and brought me back into Chaldea, to the captivity, in a vision from God, in the spirit of God. In this way the vision that I saw came over me. (Ezekiel 11:1, 24)

He says that the spirit lifted him up and that he heard an earthquake and other things behind him (Ezekiel 3:12, 14). He also said that the spirit lifted him up between earth and heaven and took him off into Jerusalem in visions from God, and he saw abominations (Ezekiel 8:3 and following).

That is why (again in a vision of God or in the spirit) Ezekiel saw the four beasts that were angel guardians (chapters 1; 10), and he saw a new earth and a new temple with the angel measuring them, as we are told in chapters 40-48. He says in chapter 40:2, that he was then in visions from God; and in chapter 43:5, he says that the spirit lifted him up at that time.

The same thing happened with Zechariah. There was an angel inwardly present with him when he saw a man riding among myrtle trees (Zechariah 1:8 and following); when he saw four horns and then a man with a measuring line in his hand (Zechariah 1:18; 2:1); when he saw Joshua the high priest (Zechariah 3:1 and following); when he saw a lampstand and two olive trees (Zechariah 4:1 and following); when he saw a flying scroll and a measuring basket (Zechariah 5:1, 6); and when he saw four chariots coming from between two mountains, along with horses (Zechariah 6:1 and following).

Daniel was in the same kind of state when he saw four beasts come up from the sea (Daniel 7:3) and when he saw battles between a ram and a goat (Daniel 8:1 and following).

We read in Daniel 7:1-2, 7, 13; 8:2; 10:1, 7-8 that he saw these things in visions. We read in Daniel 9:21 that he saw the angel Gabriel in a vision and talked with him.

Much the same happened with John when he wrote the Book of Revelation. He says that he was in the spirit on the Lord’s day (Revelation 1:10), that he was carried away in the spirit into the wilderness (17:3), to a high mountain in the spirit (21:10), that he saw horses in a vision (9:17), and elsewhere that he saw what he described, being therefore in the spirit or in a vision (1:2; 4:1; 5:1; 6:1; and in the particular chapters that follow).

Ezekiel 10

Дослідження

   

1 Then I looked, and see, in the expanse that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

2 He spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, Go in between the whirling [wheels], even under the cherub, and fill both your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. He went in as I watched.

3 Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.

4 The glory of Yahweh mounted up from the cherub, [and stood] over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of Yahweh's glory.

5 The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.

6 It came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim, that he went in, and stood beside a wheel.

7 The cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took [of it], and put it into the hands of him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.

8 There appeared in the cherubim the form of a man's hand under their wings.

9 I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone.

10 As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, like a wheel within a wheel.

11 When they went, they went in their four directions: they didn't turn as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it; they didn't turn as they went.

12 Their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, [even] the wheels that the four of them had.

13 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, the whirling [wheels].

14 Every one had four faces: the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third face the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

15 The cherubim mounted up: this is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.

16 When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also didn't turn from beside them.

17 When they stood, these stood; and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

18 The glory of Yahweh went forth from over the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.

19 The cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went forth, and the wheels beside them: and they stood at the door of the east gate of Yahweh's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

20 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim.

21 Every one had four faces, and Every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.

22 As for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves; they went every one straight forward.
