学习

   

1 Lorsque vous partagerez le pays en héritage par le sort, vous prélèverez comme une sainte offrande pour l'Eternel une portion du pays, longue de vingt-cinq mille cannes et large de dix mille; elle sera sainte dans toute son étendue.

2 De cette portion vous prendrez pour le sanctuaire cinq cents cannes sur cinq cents en carré, et cinquante coudées pour un espace libre tout autour.

3 Sur cette étendue de vingt-cinq mille cannes en longueur et dix mille en largeur, tu mesureras un emplacement pour le sanctuaire, pour le lieu très saint.

4 C'est la portion sainte du pays; elle appartiendra aux sacrificateurs qui font le service du sanctuaire, qui s'approchent de l'Eternel pour le servir; c'est là que seront leurs maisons, et ce sera un sanctuaire pour le sanctuaire.

5 Vingt-cinq mille cannes en longueur et dix mille en largeur formeront la propriété des Lévites, serviteurs de la maison, avec Vingt chambres.

6 Comme propriété de la ville vous destinerez cinq mille cannes en largeur et vingt-cinq mille en longueur, parallèlement à la portion sainte prélevée; ce sera pour toute la maison d'Israël.

7 Pour le prince vous réserverez un espace aux deux côtés de la portion sainte et de la propriété de la ville, le long de la portion sainte et le long de la propriété de la ville, du côté de l'occident vers l'occident et du côté de l'orient vers l'orient, sur une longueur parallèle à l'une des parts, depuis la limite de l'occident jusqu'à la limite de l'orient.

8 Ce sera sa terre, sa propriété en Israël; et mes princes n'opprimeront plus mon peuple, mais ils laisseront le pays à la maison d'Israël, selon ses tribus.

9 Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l'Eternel: Assez, princes d'Israël! cessez la violence et les rapines, pratiquez la droiture et la justice, délivrez mon peuple de vos exactions, dit le Seigneur, l'Eternel.

10 Ayez des balances justes, un épha juste, et un bath juste.

11 L'épha et le bath auront la même mesure: le bath contiendra la dixième partie d'un homer, et l'épha la dixième partie d'un homer; leur mesure sera réglée d'après le homer.

12 Le sicle sera de vingt guéras. La mine aura chez vous vingt sicles, vingt-cinq sicles, quinze sicles.

13 Voici l'offrande que vous prélèverez; la sixième partie d'un épha sur un homer de froment, et la sixième partie d'un épha sur un homer d'orge.

14 Ce que vous devrez pour l'huile, pour un bath d'huile, sera la dixième partie d'un bath sur un cor, qui est égal à un homer de dix baths, car dix baths font un homer.

15 Une brebis sur un troupeau de deux cents dans les gras pâturages d'Israël sera donnée pour l'offrande, l'holocauste et le sacrifice d'actions de grâces, afin de servir de victime expiatoire, dit le Seigneur, l'Eternel.

16 Tout le peuple du pays devra prélever cette offrande pour le prince d'Israël.

17 Le prince sera chargé des holocaustes, des offrandes et des libations, aux fêtes, aux nouvelles lunes, aux sabbats, à toutes les solennités de la maison d'Israël; il offrira le sacrifice expiatoire, l'offrande, l'holocauste, et le sacrifice d'actions de grâces, en expiation pour la maison d'Israël.

18 Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l'Eternel: Le premier jour du premier mois, tu prendras un jeune taureau sans défaut, et tu feras l'expiation du sanctuaire.

19 Le sacrificateur prendra du sang de la victime expiatoire, et il en mettra sur les poteaux de la maison, sur les quatre angles de l'encadrement de l'autel, et sur les poteaux de la porte du parvis intérieur.

20 Tu feras de même le septième jour du mois, pour ceux qui pèchent involontairement ou par imprudence; vous purifierez ainsi la maison.

21 Le quatorzième jour du premier mois, vous aurez la Pâque. La fête durera sept jours; on mangera des pains sans levain.

22 Le prince offrira ce jour-là, pour lui et pour tout le peuple du pays, un taureau en sacrifice d'expiation.

23 Pendant les sept jours de la fête, il offrira en holocauste à l'Eternel sept taureaux et sept béliers sans défaut, chacun des sept jours, et un bouc en sacrifice d'expiation, chaque jour.

24 Il y joindra l'offrande d'un épha pour chaque taureau et d'un épha pour chaque bélier, avec un hin d'huile par épha.

25 Le quinzième jour du septième mois, à la fête, il offrira pendant sept jours les mêmes sacrifices d'expiation, les mêmes holocaustes, et la même offrande avec l'huile.

Apocalypse Revealed#36

学习本章节

36. I became in the spirit on the Lord's day. (1:10) This symbolizes a spiritual state then owing to Divine influx.

"I became in the spirit" means, symbolically, a spiritual state, the state in which John was while he was experiencing the visions, and which we will take up in the following exposition. "On the Lord's day" symbolizes influx from the Lord then, for that day brings the Lord's presence, as it is a holy day.

Concerning the prophets we read that they were in the spirit or in vision, and that the Word came to them from Jehovah.

When they were in the spirit or in vision, they were not in the body, but in their spirit, a state in which they saw phenomena such as are found in heaven. But when the Word came to them, they were then in the body and heard Jehovah speaking.

These two states of the prophets must be properly distinguished. In the state of vision the eyes of their spirit were open and the eyes of their body closed; and they heard then what angels said, and what Jehovah said through angels, and also saw representations produced for them in heaven. Moreover, they sometimes seemed to themselves to be taken then from place to place, their body remaining where it was.

[2] This was the state in which John was when he wrote the book of Revelation, and the state sometimes experienced by Ezekiel, Zechariah, and Daniel. They also said that they were then in vision or in the spirit. For Ezekiel says,

The Spirit lifted me up... and brought me back into Chaldea, to those in captivity, in a vision (of God), in the spirit of God. (Thus) went up from me the vision that I had seen. (Ezekiel 11:1, 24)

He also says that the Spirit lifted him up, and he heard behind him an earthquake, and more (Ezekiel 3:12, 24). So, too, that the Spirit lifted him up between earth and heaven, that it brought him in visions of God to Jerusalem, and that he saw abominations (Ezekiel 8:3f.). He was likewise in a vision of God or in the spirit when he saw the four living creatures, which were cherubim (Ezekiel 1; 10), as also when he saw a new earth and a new temple, and an angel measuring them (Ezekiel 40; 41; 42; 43; 44; 45; 46; 47; 48). That he was then in the visions of God, he himself says (Ezekiel 40:2), and that the spirit lifted him up (Ezekiel 43:5).

[3] The same was the case with Zechariah, who had an angel with him at the time, when he saw a man riding a horse among the myrtle trees (Zechariah 1:8ff.); when he saw the four horns, and then a man with a measuring line in his hand (Zechariah 1:18; 2:1ff.); when he saw Joshua the high priest (Zechariah 3:1ff.); when he saw the lampstand and two olive trees (Zechariah 4:1ff.); when he saw the flying scroll and the ephah (Zechariah 5:1, 6); when he saw the four chariots coming from between two mountains, and the horses (Zechariah 6:1ff.).

Daniel was in a like state when he saw the four beasts coming up from the sea (Daniel 7:1ff.), and when he saw the combat between the ram and the male goat (Daniel 8:1ff.). He himself says that he saw these things in visions (Daniel 7:1-2, 7, 13; 8:2; 10:1, 7-8), and that the angel Gabriel appeared to him in a vision (Daniel 9:21).

[4] The same was the case with John, as when he saw the Son of Man in the midst of the seven lampstands (Revelation 1), and finally, the new heaven and the new earth, and then the New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven (Revelation 21, 22. John himself says that he saw these things in the spirit and in vision (1:10; 4:2; 9:17; 21:10). This, too, is meant by the statement, "I saw," everywhere it occurs in this book.

[5] It is clearly apparent from this that to be in the spirit is to be in a state of vision, which is brought about by an opening of the sight of a person's spirit; and when this is opened, phenomena found in the spiritual world are as clearly visible as those in the natural world are to the sight of the body.

The reality of this is something I can attest to from many years' experience.

The disciples were in this state when they saw the Lord after His resurrection, which is why are told that their eyes were opened (Luke 24:30-31).

Abraham was in a like state when he saw the three angels and spoke with them. 1

So, too, Hagar, Gideon, Joshua and others, when they saw angels of Jehovah. Likewise when Elisha's lad saw the mountain full of fiery chariots and horses all around Elisha, for Elisha prayed and said,

"Jehovah, open, I pray, his eyes that he may see." And Jehovah opened the eyes of the lad, and he saw. (2 Kings 6:17)

As regards the Word, however, it was not revealed in a state of the spirit or of vision, but the Lord dictated it to the prophets in an audible voice. Consequently we are nowhere told that the prophets spoke it from the Holy Spirit, but from Jehovah. See The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Regarding the Lord, no. 53.

Ezekiel第43章

学习

   

1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east.

2 Behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shined with his glory.

3 It was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.

4 The glory of Yahweh came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.

5 The Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of Yahweh filled the house.

6 I heard one speaking to me out of the house; and a man stood by me.

7 He said to me, Son of man, [this is] the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. The house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their prostitution, and by the dead bodies of their kings [in] their high places;

8 in their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their doorpost beside my doorpost, and there was [but] the wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed: therefore I have consumed them in my anger.

9 Now let them put away their prostitution, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me; and I will dwell in the midst of them forever.

10 You, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.

11 If they be ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, and its fashion, and its exits, and its entrances, and all its forms, and all its ordinances, and all its forms, and all its laws; and write it in their sight; that they may keep the whole form of it, and all its ordinances, and do them.

12 This is the law of the house: on the top of the mountain the whole limit around it shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

13 These are the measures of the altar by cubits (the cubit is a cubit and a handbreadth): the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and its border around its edge a span; and this shall be the base of the altar.

14 From the bottom on the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.

15 The upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns.

16 The altar hearth shall be twelve [cubits] long by twelve broad, square in the four sides of it.

17 The ledge shall be fourteen [cubits] long by fourteen broad in the four sides of it; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and its bottom shall be a cubit around; and its steps shall look toward the east.

18 He said to me, Son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.

19 You shall give to the priests the Levites who are of the seed of Zadok, who are near to me, to minister to me, says the Lord Yahweh, a young bull for a sin offering.

20 You shall take of its blood, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border all around: thus you shall cleanse it and make atonement for it.

21 You shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and it shall be burnt in the appointed place of the house, outside of the sanctuary.

22 On the second day you shall offer a male goat without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse it with the bull.

23 When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.

24 You shall bring them near to Yahweh, and the priests shall cast salt on them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to Yahweh.

25 Seven days you shall prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bull, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.

26 Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it; so shall they consecrate it.

27 When they have accomplished the days, it shall be that on the eighth day, and forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings on the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, says the Lord Yahweh.
