1 Ja tämä on siunaus, jolla Moses Jumalan mies siunasi Israelin lapsia ennen kuolemaansa,

2 Ja sanoi: Herra on tullut Sinaista, ja noussut heille Seiristä, ja ilmestynyt Paranin vuorelta, ja on tullut kymmenentuhannen pyhän kanssa, ja tulinen laki hänen oikiassa kädessänsä heidän tykönsä.

3 Hän myös rakastaa kansoja; kaikki hänen pyhänsä ovat sinun kädessäs, ja he asettavat itsensä sinun jalkais juureen, ja ottavat opin sinun sanoistas.

4 Moses on meille käskenyt lain, Jakobin sukukunnalle perimisen.

5 Ja hän oli Kuningas oikeudessa; kansan päämiehet hän kokosi yhteen, ynnä Israelin sukukuntain kanssa.

6 Ruben eläkään, ja älkään kuolko, ja hänen kansansa olkoon luettava.

7 Tämä on Juudalle siunaus: ja hän sanoi: kuule Herra Juudan ääntä, ja johdata häntä kansansa tykö; ja hänen kätensä sotii puolestansa, sinä olet apu vastoin hänen vihollisiansa.

8 Ja hän sanoi Leville: sinun täydellisyytes ja sinun valkeutes olkoon sinun pyhän miehes tykönä, jota sinä kiusasit Massassa, ja saatit hänen riitelemään riitaveden tykönä.

9 Joka sanoo isällensä ja äidillensä: en minä nähnyt heitä, ja ei tunne veljiänsä, eikä tiedä pojistansa; ne pitävät sinun sanas, ja kätkevät sinun liittos.

10 He opettavat sinun oikeuksias Jakobille ja Israelille sinun lakis, he kantavat suitsutusta sinun nenäs eteen, ja kaikkinaiset uhrit uhraavat sinun alttarillas.

11 Siunaa Herra hänen voimansa ja anna hänen kättensä työ sinulle kelvata; riko heidän lanteensa, jotka karkaavat häntä vastaan ja häntä vihaavat, niin ettei he voisi ojentaa heitänsä.

12 Ja BenJaminille sanoi hän: Herran rakkaat pitää asuman turvallisesti hänen tykönänsä; hän suojelee heitä kaiken päivän, ja hän asuu heidän hartioidensa välillä.

13 Ja hän sanoi Josephille: hänen maansa olkoon siunattu Herralta, parhaista taivaan hedelmistä, kasteesta, ja syvyydestä, joka makaa alla.

14 Siinä olkoon ihanimmat hedelmät auringosta, ja ihanimmat kypsät hedelmät kuusta,

15 Ja itäisten vuorten kukkuloilta, ja ijäisiltä kukkuloilta parhaat hedelmät,

16 Ja ne kalliimmat maan hedelmät, ja mitä siinä on. Hänen suosionsa, joka asuu pensaassa, tulkoon Josephin päähän, ja Natsirin päälaelle veljeinsä keskellä.

17 Ja hänen kauneutensa olkoon niinkuin esikoisen härjän, ja hänen sarvensa olkoon niinkuin yksisarvisen sarvet, joilla hän kansaa kuokkii yhteen, hamaan maailman ääriin asti; nämät ovat Ephraimin kymmenentuhatta, ja nämät Manassen tuhannet.

18 Ja hän sanoi Sebulonille: iloitse Sebulon uloskäymisessäs, mutta sinä Isaskar iloitse majoissas.

19 Heidän pitää kutsuman kansaa vuorelle ja siellä vanhurskauden uhria uhraaman; sillä he imevät meren kyllyyden ja santaan kätketyt tavarat.

20 Ja hän sanoi Gadille: siunattu olkoon se, joka levittää Gadin, hän asuu niinkuin hotka jalopeura, ja ryöstää sekä käsivarren että päänlaen.

21 Ja hän katsoi itsellensä ensimäisen osan maasta, että hän siinä lainopettajalta annetussa osassa olis surutoin; kuitenkin tuli hän kansan päämiesten kanssa, ja teki Herran vanhurskautta, ja hänen oikiutensa Israelin kanssa.

22 Ja Danille sanoi hän: Dan niinkuin jalopeuran penikka, joka karkaa Basanista.

23 Ja Naphtalille sanoi hän: Naphtalilla on yltäkyllä, mitä hänen mielensä tekee, ja hän täytetään Herran siunauksella, lännen ja etelän pitää hänen omistaman.

24 Ja Asserille sanoi hän: Asser olkoon siunattu pojissa, hän olkoon veljillensä otollinen, ja kastakaan jalkansa öljyyn.

25 Rauta ja vaski olkoon sinun kenkäs; ja niinkuin sinun ikäs, niin myös sinun väkevyytes lisääntyy.

26 Ei yhtään ole niinkuin oikeuden Jumala, joka istuu taivaassa, hän olkoon sinun auttajas, ja hänen kunniansa on pilvissä.

27 Jumalan asuinsia on alusta, ijankaikkisten käsivartten alla. Ja hän ajaa ulos sinun vihollises sinun edestäs ja sanoo: ole hukutettu.

28 Israel asuu levollisesti yksinänsä, ja Jakobin silmä katsoo sen maan päälle, jossa jyviä ja viinaa on, siihen myös taivaat kastetta vuodattavat.

29 Autuas olet sinä Israel: kuka on sinun kaltaises? O sinä kansa, joka Herrassa autuaaksi tulet, joka sinun apus kilpi ja sinun kunnias miekka on. Vihollises valhettelevat sinulle, ja sinä astelet heidän kukkulainsa päällä.

Apocalypse Revealed#349

学习本章节

  
/962  
  

349. Sealed out of every tribe of Israel. This symbolizes the heaven and Lord's church formed from those people.

A tribe symbolizes religion as regards goodness of life, and every tribe symbolizes the church in respect to every good of love and every truth springing from that good, which produces goodness of life. For there are two elements which form the church: the goodness of love and doctrinal truth. The marriage of these two constitutes the church. The twelve tribes of Israel represented and so symbolized the church with respect to that marriage, and each tribe represented and so symbolized some universal truth accompanying goodness or some goodness accompanying truth present in that marriage.

But what each tribe symbolized has not been revealed previously to anyone, nor could it have been revealed, lest an ill-connected exposition profane the holiness that lies within these things when joined together, since their symbolism depends on their conjunction.

[2] They have one symbolism in the order in which they are listed according to their births (Genesis 29, 30, 35:18). The order there is: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin.

They have another symbolism in the order in which they are listed when they went into Egypt, namely, Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Gad, Asher, Joseph, Benjamin, Dan, Naphtali (Genesis 46:8-25).

Still another symbolism in the order in which they were blessed by their father Israel, namely, Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Zebulun, Issachar, Dan, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Joseph, Benjamin (Genesis 49).

Still another symbolism in the order in which they were blessed by Moses, namely, Reuben, Judah, Levi, Benjamin, Joseph, Ephraim, Manasseh, Zebulun, Gad, Dan, Naphtali, Asher (Deuteronomy 33) - Ephraim and Manasseh being listed there, and not Simeon or Issachar.

[3] Still another symbolism in the order in which they encamped and set out, namely, the tribes of Judah, Issachar and Zebulun on the east side, the tribes of Reuben, Simeon and Gad on the south side, the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh and Benjamin on the west side, and the tribes of Dan, Asher and Naphtali on the north side, with the tribe of Levi in the middle (Numbers 2:1-34).

And still another symbolism in the order in which they are listed elsewhere, as in Genesis 35:23-26, Numbers 1:5-16; 7:1-89; 13:4-15; 26:5-57; 34:17-28, Deuteronomy 27:12-13, Joshua 15; 16; 17; 18; 19, Ezekiel 48:1-35.

Consequently, when Balaam saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes, he said, "How good are your tents, O Jacob, and your tabernacles, O Israel" (Numbers 24:1-4ff.).

[4] On the breastpiece of judgment, namely, the Urim and Thummim, containing twelve precious stones according to the names of the children of Israel (Exodus 28:15-21), the symbolism of the tribes in their arrangement depended on the inquiry to which they provided a response.

But what they symbolized in the order in which they are mentioned here in the book of Revelation, which is still another order, will be told in what follows.

Tribes symbolize religion, and the twelve tribes the church and everything pertaining to it, because "tribe" and "scepter" are, in Hebrew, the same word, 1 and a scepter means a kingdom, and the Lord's kingdom is heaven and the church.

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

2 "The children of Israel shall encamp every man by his own standard, with the banners of their fathers' houses: at a distance from the Tent of Meeting shall they encamp around it."

3 Those who encamp on the east side toward the sunrise shall be of the standard of the camp of Judah, according to their divisions: and the prince of the children of Judah shall be Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

4 His division, and those who were numbered of them, were seventy-four thousand six hundred.

5 Those who encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Issachar: and the prince of the children of Issachar shall be Nethanel the son of Zuar.

6 His division, and those who were numbered of it, were fifty-four thousand four hundred.

7 The tribe of Zebulun: and the prince of the children of Zebulun shall be Eliab the son of Helon.

8 His division, and those who were numbered of it, were fifty-seven thousand four hundred.

9 All who were numbered of the camp of Judah were one hundred eighty-six thousand four hundred, according to their divisions. They shall set out first.

10 "On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben according to their divisions. The prince of the children of Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur.

11 His division, and those who were numbered of it, were forty-six thousand five hundred.

12 "Those who encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Simeon. The prince of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.

16 "All who were numbered of the camp of Reuben were one hundred fifty-one thousand four hundred fifty, according to their armies. They shall set out second.

17 "Then the Tent of Meeting shall set out, with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camps. As they encamp, so shall they set out, every man in his place, by their standards.

18 "On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their divisions: and the prince of the children of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud.

19 His division, and those who were numbered of them, were forty thousand five hundred.

20 "Next to him shall be the tribe of Manasseh: and the prince of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.

21 His division, and those who were numbered of them, were thirty-two thousand two hundred.

22 "The tribe of Benjamin: and the prince of the children of Benjamin shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni.

23 His army, and those who were numbered of them, were thirty-five thousand four hundred.

24 "All who were numbered of the camp of Ephraim were one hundred eight thousand one hundred, according to their divisions. They shall set out third.

25 "On the north side shall be the standard of the camp of Dan according to their divisions: and the prince of the children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.

26 His division, and those who were numbered of them, were sixty-two thousand seven hundred.

27 "Those who encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Asher: and the prince of the children of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of Ochran.

28 His division, and those who were numbered of them, were forty-one thousand and five hundred.

29 "The tribe of Naphtali: and the prince of the children of Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan.

30 His division, and those who were numbered of them, were fifty-three thousand four hundred.

31 "All who were numbered of the camp of Dan were one hundred fifty-seven thousand six hundred. They shall set out last by their standards."

32 These are those who were numbered of the children of Israel by their fathers' houses. All who were numbered of the camps according to their armies were six hundred three thousand five hundred fifty.

33 But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

34 Thus the children of Israel did. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so they encamped by their standards, and so they set out, everyone by their families, according to their fathers' houses.
