1 Kaj li revenigis min al la pordo de la domo; kaj mi ekvidis, ke jen el sub la sojlo de la domo fluas akvo orienten, cxar la vizagxa flanko de la domo estis turnita orienten; kaj la akvo fluis el sub la dekstra flanko de la domo al la suda flanko de la altaro.

2 Kaj li elkondukis min tra la norda pordego, kaj kondukis min laux ekstera vojo al la ekstera pordego, turnita orienten; kaj jen la akvo fluas el la dekstra flanko.

3 Kiam la viro iris orienten, li havis en sia mano mezursxnuron, kaj li mezuris mil ulnojn, kaj transpasigis min trans la akvon, kiu estis alta gxis la maleoloj.

4 Kaj li mezuris ankoraux mil ulnojn, kaj transpasigis min trans la akvon; la akvo estis alta gxis la genuoj. Kaj li mezuris ankoraux mil, kaj transpasigis min trans la akvon, kiu estis alta gxis la lumboj.

5 Kiam li mezuris ankoraux mil, estis jam torento, kiun mi ne povis transiri; cxar la akvo estis tro alta, oni devis gxin transnagxi, sed transiri la torenton oni ne povis.

6 Kaj li diris al mi:CXu vi vidis, ho filo de homo? Kaj li kondukis min returne al la bordo de la torento.

7 Kiam mi revenis, mi vidis, ke sur la bordo de la torento estas jam tre multe da arboj sur ambaux flankoj.

8 Kaj li diris al mi:CXi tiu akvo, kiu eliras el la orienta regiono, iros malsupren en la stepon, kaj venos en la maron; kiam gxi trovigxos en la maro, tiam sanigxos la akvo.

9 Kaj cxiu vivanta estajxo, kiu rampas tie, kie pasas la torentoj, revivigxos, kaj estos tre multe da fisxoj; cxar tien venos cxi tiu akvo, kaj cxio sanigxos kaj revivigxos, kien venos la torento.

10 Kaj staros apud gxi fisxkaptistoj de En-Gedi gxis En-Eglaim, kaj ili etendos tie retojn; iliaj fisxoj estos tiaspecaj, kiel la fisxoj de la Granda Maro, kaj tre multe.

11 Sed gxiaj marcxoj kaj marcxetoj ne sanigxos, ili estos destinitaj por salo.

12 Kaj apud la torento sur ambaux bordoj kreskos cxiaspecaj mangxajxdonantaj arboj; ne velkos iliaj folioj, kaj ne forfinigxos iliaj fruktoj; cxiumonate ili donos novajn fruktojn, cxar la akvo por ili fluas el la sanktejo; kaj iliaj fruktoj estos uzataj kiel mangxajxo, kaj iliaj folioj kiel kuracilo.

13 Tiele diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo:Jen estas la limoj, laux kiuj vi devas dividi heredige la teron al la dek du triboj de Izrael:al Jozef duoblan parton.

14 Kaj dividu gxin al cxiuj egale; cxar per levo de la mano Mi promesis doni gxin al viaj patroj, tial cxi tiu tero farigxos via hereda posedajxo.

15 Jen estas la limo de la lando:sur la norda rando, komencante de la Granda Maro, gxi iras tra HXetlon en la direkto al Cedad;

16 tra HXamat, Berota, Sibraim, kiu estas inter la limo de Damasko kaj la limo de HXamat, gxis HXacer-Tihxon, kiu trovigxas cxe la limo de HXavran.

17 Kaj la limo estos de la maro gxis HXacar-Enan apud la limo de Damasko, kaj gxis la norda Cafon kaj la limo de HXamat. Tio estas la rando norda.

18 Kaj la orientan randon mezuru inter HXavran kaj Damasko, inter Gilead kaj la lando de Izrael, laux Jordan, de la limo gxis la orienta maro; tio estas la rando orienta.

19 La suda rando estas de Tamar gxis la Akvo de Malpaco apud Kadesx, laux la torento gxis la Granda Maro; tio estas la rando suda.

20 La okcidenta rando estas la Granda Maro, gxis la komenco de HXamat; tio estas la rando okcidenta.

21 Kaj dividu inter vi cxi tiun landon laux la triboj de Izrael.

22 Kaj dividu gxin lote al vi, kaj ankaux al la fremduloj, kiuj logxas inter vi kaj kiuj naskis infanojn inter vi; ili devas esti por vi kiel indigxenoj inter la Izraelidoj, kune kun vi ili devas ricevi lote heredan posedajxon inter la triboj de Izrael.

23 En tiu tribo, inter kiu eklogxis la fremdulo, tie donu al li lian heredan posedajxon, diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo.

9031. 'And thoroughly cure him' means restoration, that is to say, through explanation; for if statements in the literal sense of the Word are looked at on a more internal level, all are in agreement. The situation here is as it is with statements in the Word which speak of the sun's rising or setting, though in reality it neither rises nor sets. However, it presents the appearance of doing so to inhabitants on earth, because of the earth's daily rotation on its axis. This natural truth lies hidden within the former, which accords with the appearance presented to the eyes. If the truth had been stated in the Word contrary to that appearance, the common people would not have understood it; and what the common people do not understand they do not believe either. It is similar with the Sun of heaven, which is the Lord; this too is said to rise. But it is said to rise in the heart when a person is being regenerated, and also when he is governed by the good of love and faith; and it is said to set when a person is immersed in evil and in falsity arising from it. But in reality the Lord is always where the sun is rising, for which reason also He is called the Sunrise or the East, and never where it is setting. Nor does He turn away from anyone; rather a person turns away from Him, which is the reason for the appearance that the Lord turns His face away, and even brings about what is ill. Therefore also such a thing is said of Him in the Word; and that too is a truth, though it is an apparent truth, and so does not conflict with the former. From all this one may now see what 'thoroughly curing' means in the internal sense, namely the restoration of spiritual truth, which is brought about by correct explanation of factual truth, or truth belonging to the literal sense of the Word.

[2] The situation is just the same with every truth that belongs to the literal sense. In natural light, which a person who perceives things on a sensory level possesses, that truth is seen as it is actually stated in the Word. For the literal sense is natural and is for those who perceive things on a sensory level. But when the same truth is presented in the light of heaven it is seen according to the internal sense; for this sense is spiritual and is for those whose perception lies on a heavenly level, because the things that belong to natural light vanish in the light of heaven. Natural light is like gloom or like a cloud, but heavenly light is like the glory and brightness after the cloud has been removed. Therefore also the literal sense of the Word is called 'a cloud' and the internal sense 'the glory', see Preface to Genesis 18, and 4391, 5922, 6343, 8106, 8443, 8781.

[3] The reason why 'thoroughly curing' means restoring in the spiritual sense is that 'sickness' and 'illness' mean poor health of the internal man. The internal man is in poor health when its life, which is spiritual life, is sick, that is, when the person turns aside from truth to falsity and from good to evil. When this happens that life is sick; and when the person turns away completely from truth and good that life dies. But its death is called spiritual death, which is damnation. This being the situation with the life of the internal man, such things as constitute sicknesses and death in the natural world refer, when spoken of in the Word, to sicknesses of spiritual life and to the death of that life. So too with curings or healings from sickness, as in Isaiah,

Jehovah strikes Egypt striking and curing, as a consequence of which they turn themselves towards Jehovah; and He will be entreated by them, and He will cure them. Isaiah 19:22.

In the same prophet,

But He was pierced because of our transgressions, bruised because of our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are cured. 1 Isaiah 53:5.

These words refer to the Lord.

[4] In Jeremiah,

Return, O perverse children, I will cure you of backsliding. 2 Jeremiah 3:22.

In the same prophet,

Behold, I will bring curing and remedy to it; 3 and I will cure them and reveal to them the abundance of peace, and truth. Jeremiah 33:6.

In the same prophet,

Go up to Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt! In vain you have multiplied medicaments; there is no curing for you. Jeremiah 46:11.

And in Ezekiel,

Beside the river there is rising up upon its bank, on this side and on that, [every] tree for food, whose leaf does not fall, and whose fruit does not fail it is reborn monthly, for its waters flow out from the sanctuary, wherefore its fruit is for food, and its leaf for medicaments. Ezekiel 47:12.

'Fruit for food' stands for the good of love and charity, which serves to nourish spiritual life, and 'leaf for medicaments' for the truths of faith which serve to refresh and restore that life. For the meaning of 'fruit' as the good of love and charity, see 3146, 7690; and for the meaning of 'leaf' as the truth of faith, 885.

[5] Since sicknesses and illnesses, also curings and medicaments, mentioned in the Word do not refer to natural life but to another kind of life distinct and separate from natural life, it is evident to anyone who ponders on the matter for a while that a person possesses another kind of life, which belongs to his internal man. Those who think materialistically of the life a person has do not believe that he has any life other than that of the body which is the life of the external or natural man. They wonder what the life of the internal man may be, indeed what the internal man may be. If they are told that this life is the life of faith and charity, and that the internal man is the person's spirit which lives after death, and which in essence is the real person, they wonder all the more. And those of them who live solely for the body and not for the soul, thus who are altogether natural people, understand nothing of what they are told about the life of faith and charity or about the internal man. For when they think, they see things altogether in natural light and not at all in spiritual light, on account of which also after death their thought remains materialistic. They live then 'in the shadow of death', that is, steeped in falsities arising from evil; they are in utter darkness and are blind to the light of heaven.
