1 Følgende er navnene på stammerne: Yderst i nord fra havet i retning af Hetlon til det sted, hvor Vejen går til Hamat, og videre til Hazar-Enon, med Damaskuss Område mod Nord ved Siden af Hamat, fra Østsiden til Vestsiden: Dan, een Stammelod;

2 langs Dans Område fra Østsiden til Vestsiden: Aser, een Stammelod;

3 langs Asers Område fra Østsiden til Vestsiden: Naftali, een Stammelod;

4 langs Naftalis Område fra Østsiden til Vestsiden: Manasse, een Stammelod;

5 langs Manasses Område fra Østsiden til Vestsiden: Efraim, een Stammelod;

6 langs Efrainms Område fma Østsiden til Vestsiden: uben, een Stammelod;

7 langs ubens Område fra Østsiden til Vestsiden: Juda, een Stammelod.

8 Langs Judas Område fra Østsiden til Vestsiden skal Offerydelsen, som I yder, være 25000 Alen bred og lige så lang som hver Stammelod fra Østsiden til Vestsiden; og Helligdommen skal ligge i Midten.

9 Offerydelsen, som I skal yde HE EN, skal være 25 000 Alen lang og 20800 Alen bred;

10 og den hellige Offerydelse skal tilhøre følgende: Præsterne skal have et Stykke, som mod Nord er 25 000 Alen langt, mod Vest 10.000 Alen bredt, mod Øst 10000 Alen bredt og mod Syd 25.000 Alen langt; og HE ENs Helligdom skal ligge i Midten.

11 De helligede Præster, Zadoks Efterkommere, som tog Vare på, hvad jeg vilde have varetaget, og ikke som Leviterne for vild, da Israeliterne gjorde det,

12 skal det tilhøre som en Offerydelse af Landets Offerydelse, et højhelligt Område langs Leviternes.

13 Og Leviterne skal have et lige så stort Område som Præsterne, 25000 Alen langt og 10000 Alen bredt; den samlede Længde bliver således 25000 Alen, Bredden 20000.

14 De må ikke sælge eller bortbytte noget deraf eller overdrage denne førstegrøde af Landet til andre, thi den er helliget HE EN.

15 Det Stykke på 5000 Alens Bredde, som er tilovers af Offerydelsens Bredde langs de 25000 Alen, skal være uindviet Land og tilfalde Byen til Boliger og Græsgang, og Byen skal ligge i Midten;

16 dens Mål skal være følgende: Nordsiden 4500 Alen, Sydsiden 4500, Østsiden 4500 og Vestsiden 4500.

17 Byens Græsgang skal være 250 Alen mod Nord, 250 mod Syd, 250 mod Øst og 250 mod Vest.

18 Af det Stykke, som endnu er tilovers langs med den hellige Offerydelse, 10000 Alen mod Øst og 10000 mod Vest, skal Afgrøden tjene Byens indbyggere til Mad.

19 Byens Befolkning skal sammensættes således, at Folk fra alle israels Stammer bor der:

20 I alt skal I som Offerydelse yde en Firkant på 25000 Alen, den hellige Offerydelse foruden Byens Grundejendom.

21 Men esten skal tilfalde Fyrsten; hvad der ligger på begge Sider af den hellige Offerydelse og Byens Grundejendom, østen for de 25000 Alen hen til Østgrænsen og vesten for de 25000 Alen hen til Vestgrænsen, langs Stammelodderne, skal tilhøre Fyrsten; den hellige Offerydelse, Templets Helligdomn i Midten

22 og Leviternes og Byens Grundejendom skal ligge midt imellem de Stykker, som tilfalder Fyrsten mellem Judas og Benjamins Område.

23 Så følger de sidste Stammer: Fra Østsiden til Vestsiden Benjammmin, een Stammelod;

24 langs Benjamins Område fra Østsiden til Vestsiden: Simeon, een Stammelod;

25 langs Simeons Område fra Østsiden til Vestsiden: Issakar, een Stammelod;

26 langs Issakars Område fra Østsiden til Vestsiden: Zebulon, een Stammelod;

27 langs Zebulons Område fra Østsiden til Vestsiden: Gad, een Stammelod;

28 og langs Gads Område på Sydsiden skal Grænsen gå fra Tamar over Meribas Vandved Kadesj til Bækken ud til det store Hav.

29 Det er det Land, I ved Lodkastning skal udskifte som Arvelod til Israels Stammer, og det er deres Stammelodder, lyder det fra den Herre HE EN.

30 Følgende er Byens udgange; Byens Porte skal opkaldes efter Israels Stammer:

31 På Nordsiden, der måler 4500 Alen, er der tre Porte, den første ubens, den anden Judas og den tredje Levis;

32 på Østsiden, der måler 4500 Alen, er der tre Porte, den første Josefs, den anden Benjamins og den tredje Dans;

33 på Sydsiden, der måler 4500 Alen, er der tre Porte, den første Simeons, den anden Issakars og den tredje Zebulons;

34 på Vestsiden, der måler 4500 Alen, er der tre Porte, den første Gads, den anden Asers og den tredje Naftalis.

35 Omkredsen er 18000 Alen. Og Byens Navn skal herefter være: HE EN er der.

134a. 2. No one is reformed by visions or by conversations with the dead, because they compel. There are two kinds of visions, divine and demonic. Divine visions are given by means of portrayals in heaven, while demonic visions are effected though magical events in hell. There are imaginary visions as well, visions that are the illusions of a mind that has lost its bearings.

Divine visions (which as just noted are given by means of portrayals in heaven) are the kind that happened to the prophets. When they were having these visions they were not in the body but in the spirit, because visions cannot happen to us while we are physically awake. So when the prophets saw visions, it says that they were in the spirit, as the following passages show.

Ezekiel said, "The spirit lifted me up and took me back to Chaldea to the captivity in a vision of God, in the spirit of God; so the vision that I saw came over me" (Ezekiel 11:1, 24). Then too, spirits held him up between earth and heaven and brought him to Jerusalem in visions of God (Ezekiel 8:3 and following). The same thing happened in a vision of God or in the spirit when he saw the four animals that were cherubim (Ezekiel chapters 1 and 10) and when he saw the new temple, the new earth, and the angel measuring them (Ezekiel chapters 40-48). It says in chapter Ezekiel 40:2, 26 that he was in visions of God at the time, and in chapter Ezekiel 43:5 that he was in the spirit.

[2] Zechariah was in the same kind of state when he saw the man on horseback among the myrtle trees (Zechariah 1:8 and following), when he saw the four horns and the man with a measuring line in his hand (Zechariah 1:18, 20, 21; Zechariah 2:1 and following), when he saw the lampstand and the two olive trees (Zechariah 4:1 and following), when he saw the flying scroll and the ephah (Zechariah 5:1, 6), and when he saw the four chariots coming out from the four mountains, and the horses (Zechariah 6:1 and following).

Daniel was in the same kind of state when he saw the four beasts rising from the sea (Daniel 6:1 [7:1] and following), and when he saw the battles of the ram and the goat (Daniel 8:1 and following). It says in Daniel 7:1-2, 7, and 13; in Daniel 8:2; and in Daniel 10:1, 7, and 8 that he saw these things in the vision of his spirit, and it says in Daniel 9:21 that he saw the angel Gabriel in a vision.

[3] John was in the vision of the spirit when he saw the things he describes in the Book of Revelation--for example, when he saw the seven lampstands with the Human-born One in their midst (Revelation 1:12-16), when he saw the throne in heaven with someone sitting on it, surrounded by the four animals that were cherubim (Revelation 4), when he saw the book of life taken by the Lamb (Revelation 5), when he saw the horses come out of the book (Revelation 6), when he saw the seven angels with their trumpets (Revelation 8), when he saw the pit of the abyss opened with the locusts coming out of it (Revelation 9), when he saw the dragon and its battle with Michael (Revelation 12), when he saw the two beasts rise up, one from the sea and one from the land (Revelation 13), when he saw the woman sitting on the scarlet beast (Revelation 17) and the destruction of Babylon (Revelation 18), when he saw the white horse with someone riding it (Revelation 18 [19]), when he saw the new heaven and the new earth and the holy Jerusalem coming down from heaven (Revelation 21), and when he saw the river of water of life (Revelation 22). It says that he saw these things in the vision of his spirit in Revelation 1:11 [1:10]; Revelation 4:2; Revelation 5:1; Revelation 6:1; and Revelation 21:12 [21:10].

These were the kinds of visions that were visible from heaven to the sight of their spirits and not to their physical sight.

Things like this do not happen nowadays, because if they did they would not be understood, since they happen by means of images whose details are pointing to inner features of the church and secrets of heaven. It was foretold in Daniel 9:24 that they would stop when the Lord came into the world.

However, demonic visions have sometimes occurred. They are brought about by spirits who inspire deceptive passions and visions and who call themselves the Holy Spirit because of a mental confusion that engulfs them. Now, however, these spirits have been gathered in by the Lord and consigned to a hell separate from the other hells.

We can see from all this that no one can be reformed by any visions except the ones that are in the Word. There are imaginary visions as well, but these are nothing but the illusions of a mind that has lost its bearings.

134b. The story that the Lord told about the rich man in hell and Lazarus in Abraham's lap shows that no one is reformed by conversations with the dead. The rich man said, "Father Abraham, I beg you to send Lazarus to my father's house where I have five brothers, to bear witness to them so that they do not come to this place of torment." Abraham said to him, "They have Moses and the prophets: let them heed them." But he said, "No, father Abraham, but if someone came to them from the dead, they would repent." He answered him, "If they do not heed Moses and the prophets, they would not be convinced if someone rose from the dead" (Luke 16:27-31).

Conversations with the dead may lead to the same results as miracles that I have just described. That is, we may be convinced and be constrained to worship for a short while. However, since this deprives us of rational functioning at the same time that it hems in our evils, as already noted [130-131, 133], this spell or inner restraint is released and the pent-up evils erupt in blasphemy and profanation. Still, this happens only when spirits have imposed some religious dogma. No good spirit--let alone any angel of heaven--would ever do this.
