8 古实又生宁录,他为世上英雄之首。

9 他在耶和华面前是个英勇的猎户,所以俗语:像宁录在耶和华面前是个英勇的猎户。

10 他国的起头是巴别、以力、亚甲、甲尼,都在示拿

1172. 'Dedan' means cognitions of lower celestial things that exist in ritual forms. This is clear from the following places in the Word: In Ezekiel,

The sons of Dedan were your traders, many islands were the merchandise of your hand; horns of ivory, and ebony they brought as your present. Ezekiel 27:15

'Horns of ivory, and ebony' in the internal sense means the exterior goods that constitute forms of worship or ritual. In the same prophet,

Dedan, she was your trader in chariot-cloaks, 1 Arabia and all the princes of Kedar Ezekiel 27:20-21.

Here 'chariot-cloaks' 1 in like manner means exterior goods, or those that constitute forms of ritual. In Jeremiah,

Their wisdom has become rotten. Flee! they have turned themselves away, they have taken themselves down to dwell in the deep, O inhabitants of Dedan. Jeremiah 49:7-8.

Here 'Dedan' in the proper sense stands for forms of ritual which have no internal worship, that is, no worship of the Lord from the heart within them, and which are spoken of as 'turning themselves back, and taking themselves down to dwell in the deep'. From the quotations above it is now clear that 'the sons of Cush' means cognitions of spiritual things, and 'the sons of Raamah' cognitions of celestial.

脚注:

1. literally, garments of liberty for the chariot - possibly garments with loose sleeves
