και νυν απωσασθωσαν την πορνειαν αυτων και τους φονους των ηγουμενων αυτων απ' εμου και κατασκηνωσω εν μεσω αυτων τον αιωνα
Ezekiel 43:9
Arcana Coelestia #3709
3709. 'In you will all the families of the ground be blessed' means that all truths taught by doctrine which look to good will be joined to good. This is clear from the meaning of 'being blessed' as being joined together, dealt with in 3504, 3514, 3530, 3565, 3584, from the meaning of 'families' as goods and also truths which look to good, dealt with in 1159, 1261, and from the meaning of 'the ground' as that which is the Church's, consequently the doctrine of good and truth within the natural or external man, which 'Jacob' represents here, dealt with in 268, 566, ago, 3671. From this it is evident that 'in you will all the families of the ground be blessed' means that all truths taught by doctrine which look to good will be joined to good. Truths taught by doctrine which look to good are matters of doctrine concerning love to the Lord and charity towards the neighbour, which are said to be joined to good within the natural man when satisfaction and delight exists in knowing those things with the intention of acting upon them.
Numbers 34:2-12
2
"Command the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you come into the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to its borders),
3
then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the side of Edom, and your south border shall be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward;
4
and your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and the goings out of it shall be southward of Kadesh Barnea; and it shall go forth to Hazar Addar, and pass along to Azmon;
5
and the border shall turn about from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
6
"'For the western border, you shall have the great sea and the border [of it]: this shall be your west border.
7
"'This shall be your north border: from the great sea you shall mark out for you Mount Hor;
8
from Mount Hor you shall mark out to the entrance of Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad;
9
and the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazar Enan: this shall be your north border.
10
"'You shall mark out your east border from Hazar Enan to Shepham;
11
and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down, and shall reach to the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward;
12
and the border shall go down to the Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to its borders around it.'"
