1 وكان اليّ كلام الرب قائلا

2 وانت يا ابن آدم فارفع مرثاة على صور

3 وقل لصور ايتها الساكنة عند مداخل البحر تاجرة الشعوب الى جزائر كثيرة هكذا قال السيد الرب. يا صور انت قلت انا كاملة الجمال.

4 تخومك في قلب البحور. بنّاؤوك تمموا جمالك.

5 عملوا كل الواحك من سرو سنير. اخذوا ارزا من لبنان ليصنعوه لك سواري.

6 صنعوا من بلوط باشان مجاديفك. صنعوا مقاعدك من عاج مطعّم في البقس من جزائر كتيم.

7 كتان مطرز من مصر هو شراعك ليكون لك راية. الاسمانجوني والارجوان من جزائر اليشة كانا غطاءك.

8 اهل صيدون وارواد كانوا ملاحيك. حكماؤك يا صور الذين كانوا فيك هم ربابينك.

9 شيوخ جبيل وحكماؤها كانوا فيك قلافوك. جميع سفن البحر وملاحوها كانوا فيك ليتاجروا بتجارتك.

10 فارس ولود وفوط كانوا في جيشك رجال حربك. علقوا فيك ترسا وخوذة. هم صيّروا بهاءك.

11 بنو ارواد مع جيشك على الاسوار من حولك والابطال كانوا في بروجك. علقوا اتراسهم على اسوارك من حولك. هم تمموا جمالك.

12 ترشيش تاجرتك بكثرة كل غنى بالفضة والحديد والقصدير والرصاص اقاموا اسواقك.

13 ياوان وتوبال وماشك هم تجارك. بنفوس الناس وبآنية النحاس اقاموا تجارتك.

14 ومن بيت توجرمة بالخيل والفرسان والبغال اقاموا اسواقك.

15 بنو ددان تجارك. جزائر كثيرة تجار يدك. ادّوا هديتك قرونا من العاج والآبنوس.

16 ارام تاجرتك بكثرة صنائعك تاجروا في اسواقك بالبهرمان والارجوان والمطرز والبوص والمرجان والياقوت.

17 يهوذا وارض اسرائيل هم تجارك. تاجروا في سوقك بحنطة منّيت وحلاوى وعسل وزيت وبلسان.

18 دمشق تاجرتك بكثرة صنائعك وكثرة كل غنى بخمر حلبون والصوف الابيض.

19 ودان وياوان قدموا غزلا في اسواقك. حديد مشغول وسليخة وقصب الذريرة كانت في سوقك.

20 ددان تاجرتك بطنافس للركوب.

21 العرب وكل رؤساء قيدار هم تجار يدك بالخرفان والكباش والاعتدة. في هذه كانوا تجارك.

22 تجار شبا ورعمة هم تجارك. بافخر كل انواع الطيب وبكل حجر كريم والذهب اقاموا اسواقك.

23 حران وكنّة وعدن تجار شبا واشور وكلمد تجارك.

24 هؤلاء تجارك بنفائس بأردية اسمانجونية ومطرزة واصونة مبرم معكومة بالحبال مصنوعة من الارز بين بضائعك

25 سفن ترشيش قوافلك لتجارتك فامتلأت وتمجدت جدا في قلب البحار.

26 ملاحوك قد اتوا بك الى مياه كثيرة. كسرتك الريح الشرقية في قلب البحار.

27 ثروتك واسواقك وبضاعتك وملاحوك وربابينك وقلافوك والمتاجرون بمتجرك وجميع رجال حربك الذين فيك وكل جمعك الذي في وسطك يسقطون في قلب البحار في يوم سقوطك.

28 من صوت صراخ ربابينك تتزلزل المسارح.

29 وكل ممسكي المجذاف والملاحون وكل ربابين البحر ينزلون من سفنهم ويقفون على البر

30 ويسمعون صوتهم عليك ويصرخون بمرارة ويذرّون ترابا فوق رؤوسهم ويتمرغون في الرماد.

31 ويجعلون في انفسهم قرعة عليك ويتنطقون بالمسوح ويبكون عليك بمرارة نفس نحيبا مرّا.

32 وفي نوحهم يرفعون عليك مناحة ويرثونك ويقولون اية مدينة كصور كالمسكتة في قلب البحر.

33 عند خروج بضائعك من البحار اشبعت شعوبا كثيرة. بكثرة ثروتك وتجارتك اغنيت ملوك الارض.

34 حين انكسارك من البحار في اعماق المياه سقط متجرك وكل جمعك.

35 كل سكان الجزائر يتحيرون عليك وملوكهنّ يقشعرون اقشعرارا يضطربون في الوجوه.

36 التجار بين الشعوب يصفرون عليك فتكونين اهوالا ولا تكونين بعد الى الابد

10258. 'And cassia' means truth even more interior, springing from good. This is clear from the meaning of 'cassia' as the interior truth of the internal man. The fact that 'cassia' has this meaning is evident from what has been stated and shown above; for heavenly realities follow in that sequence, from outermost to inmost. Inmost truth therefore is what 'cassia' means, being the fourth in the sequence. The reason why 'cassia' means truth springing from good is that inmost truth emanates directly from good and acts jointly with good on lower levels, as is the case when the understanding acts altogether in unison with the will, so completely that one cannot tell whether an action springs from the will or from the understanding. Also, the more internal heavenly things are, the more perfect they are; for all perfection increases towards the more internal parts, and all perfection springs from good, that is, comes from the Lord through good.

[2] Cassia is mentioned as one of those wares that mean heavenly things, in Ezekiel,

Dan and Javan exchanged yarn in your dealings; wrought iron, cassia, and calamus were in your trading. Ezekiel 27:19.

This refers to Tyre, by which cognitions or knowledge of truth and good in the Church are meant, see 1201, and by 'Dan and Javan' those possessing the cognitions of heavenly things. 'Wrought iron' is last and lowest heavenly truth, and 'cassia' inmost truth.

[3] Cassia is not mentioned anywhere else in the Word, though 'kessia' 1 is in David, which also is a species of cassia,

God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness. With myrrh, aloes, and kessia [He has anointed] all Your garments. Psalms 45:7-8.

The whole of this Psalm refers to the Lord, in particular to the glorification of His Humanity. No one lacking knowledge of the internal sense of the Word can by any means know what is meant, when the Lord is the subject, by 'anointing all His garments with myrrh, aloes, and kessia'.

[4] It is evident that what should be thought of is not garments nor the myrrh, aloes, and kessia with which they were anointed, but the Divine Truths springing from Divine Good with which the Lord clothed His Human; for anointing was nothing other than a representative sign of the Divine Good within the Lord's Divine Human. Consequently 'myrrh, aloes, and kessia' means Divine Truths in their own proper order, emanating from the Divine Good that was within Him; and therefore His Divine Human is meant by 'garments'. Whether you say the Lord's Divine Human or Divine Truth, it amounts to the same thing, for while He was in the world the Lord was Divine Truth itself, and when He left the world He made Himself Divine Good, from which Divine Truth flows, see in the places referred to in 9199(end), 9315(end). Besides, the term 'garment' is used in the Word for that which clothes something else, whatever this may be. The Lord's garments in Isaiah 63:2-3, and elsewhere, have this kind of meaning. For the meaning of 'garments' as truths clothing good, see 2576, 4545, 4763, 5248, 5319, 5954, 9093, 9212, 9216, 9952. From all this it is now evident that 'kessia' in the Psalm, which is a species of cassia, means Divine Truth, emanating directly from Divine Good, which truth is inmost truth.

脚注:

1. The Hebrew word which appears in Psalms 45:8 is q'tsi-oth, the plural of q'tsi-ah, while that in Exodus 30:24 and Ezekiel 27:19 is qiddah. Nowadays both Hebrew words are taken to mean cassia; but the unusual spelling kessia is used to show the difference.

Exodus第30章

1 "You shall make an altar to burn incense on. You shall make it of acacia wood.

2 Its length shall be a cubit, and its breadth a cubit. It shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits. Its horns shall be of one piece with it.

3 You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top, its sides around it, and its horns; and you shall make a gold molding around it.

4 You shall make two golden rings for it under its molding; on its two ribs, on its two sides you shall make them; and they shall be for places for poles with which to bear it.

5 You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.

6 You shall put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with you.

7 Aaron shall burn incense of sweet spices on it every morning. When he tends the lamps, he shall burn it.

8 When Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before Yahweh throughout your generations.

9 You shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt offering, nor meal offering; and you shall pour no drink offering on it.

10 Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once in the year; with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once in the year he shall make atonement for it throughout your generations. It is most holy to Yahweh."

11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

12 "When you take a census of the children of Israel, according to those who are numbered among them, then each man shall give a ransom for his soul to Yahweh, when you number them; that there be no plague among them when you number them.

13 They shall give this, everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary; (the shekel is twenty gerahs;) half a shekel for an offering to Yahweh.

14 Everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering to Yahweh.

15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls.

16 You shall take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the Tent of Meeting; that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls."

17 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

18 "You shall also make a basin of brass, and its base of brass, in which to wash. You shall put it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it.

19 Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in it.

20 When they go into the Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with water, that they not die; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die: and it shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his descendants throughout their generations."

22 Moreover Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

23 "Also take fine spices: of liquid myrrh, five hundred shekels; and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, even two hundred and fifty; and of fragrant cane, two hundred and fifty;

24 and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary; and a hin of olive oil.

25 You shall make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.

26 You shall use it to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the testimony,

27 the table and all its articles, the lampstand and its accessories, the altar of incense,

28 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its base.

29 You shall sanctify them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.

30 You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.

31 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'This shall be a holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations.

32 It shall not be poured on man's flesh, neither shall you make any like it, according to its composition: it is holy. It shall be holy to you.

33 Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.'"

34 Yahweh said to Moses, "Take to yourself sweet spices, gum resin, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be an equal weight;

35 and you shall make incense of it, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy:

36 and you shall beat some of it very small, and put some of it before the testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be to you most holy.

37 The incense which you shall make, according to its composition you shall not make for yourselves: it shall be to you holy for Yahweh.

38 Whoever shall make any like that, to smell of it, he shall be cut off from his people."
