1 Και οταν κληρονητε την γην εις κληρονομιαν, θελετε χωρισει μεριδα εις τον Κυριον, μεριδα αγιαν εκ της γης· το μηκος θελει εισθαι μηκος εικοσιπεντε χιλιαδων καλαμων και το πλατος δεκα χιλιαδων· τουτο θελει εισθαι αγιον κατα παντα τα ορια αυτου κυκλω.

2 Εκ τουτου θελουσιν εισθαι δια το αγιαστηριον πεντακοσιαι κατα μηκος με πεντακοσιας κατα πλατος, τετραγωνον κυκλω, και πεντηκοντα πηχαι κυκλω δια τα προαστεια αυτου.

3 Κατα τουτο λοιπον το μετρον θελεις μετρησει μηκος εικοσιπεντε χιλιαδων και πλατος δεκα χιλιαδων, και εν τουτω θελει εισθαι το αγιαστηριον, το αγιον των αγιων.

4 Τουτο θελει εισθαι εκ της γης, αγια μερις δια τους ιερεις, τους λειτουργουντας εν τω αγιαστηριω, τους πλησιαζοντας δια να λειτουργωσιν εις τον Κυριον· και θελει εισθαι εις αυτους τοπος δια οικιας και τοπος αγιος δια το αγιαστηριον.

5 Και εικοσιπεντε χιλιαδας μηκους και δεκα χιλιαδας πλατους θελουσιν εχει οι Λευιται δι' εαυτους, οι υπηρεται του οικου, δια ιδιοκτησιαν μετα εικοσι θαλαμων.

6 Και θελετε δωσει δια ιδιοκτησιαν της πολεως πεντε χιλιαδας πλατους και εικοσιπεντε χιλιαδας μηκους πλησιον της αγιας μεριδος· τουτο θελει εισθαι δι' απαντα τον οικον Ισραηλ·

7 και δια τον αρχοντα θελει εισθαι μερις εντευθεν και εκειθεν της αγιας μεριδος και της ιδιοκτησιας της πολεως, κατα προσωπον της αγιας μεριδος και κατα προσωπον της ιδιοκτησιας της πολεως, απο του δυτικου προς δυσμας και απο του ανατολικου προς ανατολας· και το μηκος θελει εισθαι πλησιον μιας εκαστης των μεριδων, απο του δυτικου οριου προς το ανατολικον οριον.

8 Εις γην θελει εισθαι εις αυτον η ιδιοκτησια, εν τω Ισραηλ· και οι αρχοντες μου δεν θελουσι πλεον καταβλιβει τον λαον μου· το υπολοιπον δε της γης θελουσι δωσει εις τον οικον Ισραηλ κατα τας φυλας αυτων.

9 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Αρκει εις εσας, αρχοντες του Ισραηλ· απομακρυνατε την βιαν και αρπαγην και καμνετε κρισιν και δικαιοσυνην· σηκωσατε τας καταδυναστειας σας απο του λαου μου, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος.

10 Δικαιαν πλαστιγγα θελετε εχει και δικαιον εφα και δικαιον βαθ.

11 Το εφα και το βαθ θελουσιν εισθαι του αυτου μετρου, ωστε το βαθ να περιλαμβανη το δεκατον του χομορ και το εφα το δεκατον του χομορ· το μετρον αυτου θελει εισθαι κατα το χομορ.

12 Και ο σικλος θελει εισθαι εικοσι γερα· εικοσι σικλοι, εικοσιπεντε σικλοι, δεκαπεντε σικλοι, θελει εισθαι η μνα σας.

13 Η υψουμενη προσφορα, την οποιαν θελετε προσφερει, ειναι αυτη· Το εκτον του εφα ενος χομορ σιτου· και θελετε διδει το εκτον του εφα ενος χομορ κριθης.

14 Περι δε του διαταγματος του ελαιου, ενος βαθ ελαιου, θελετε προσφερει το δεκατον του βαθ δια εν κορ, το οποιον ειναι εν χομορ εκ δεκα βαθ· διοτι δεκα βαθ ειναι εν χομορ.

15 Και εκ του ποιμνιου εν προβατον απο των διακοσιων, απο των παχειων βοσκων του Ισραηλ, δια προσφοραν εξ αλφιτων και δια ολοκαυτωμα και δια ειρηνικας προσφορας, δια να καμνη εξιλεωσιν υπερ αυτων, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος.

16 Πας ο λαος της γης θελει διδει ταυτην την υψουμενην προσφοραν εις τον αρχοντα εν τω Ισραηλ.

17 Εις δε τον αρχοντα ανηκει να διδη τα ολοκαυτωματα και τας εξ αλφιτων προσφορας και τας σπονδας, εν ταις εορταις και εν ταις νεομηνιαις και εν τοις σαββασι κατα πασας τας πανηγυρεις του οικου Ισραηλ· αυτος θελει ετοιμαζει την περι αμαρτιας προσφοραν και την εξ αλφιτων προσφοραν και το ολοκαυτωμα και τας ειρηνικας προσφορας, δια να καμνη εξιλεωσιν υπερ του οικου Ισραηλ.

18 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Εν τω πρωτω μηνι, τη πρωτη του μηνος, θελεις λαμβανει μοσχον βοος αμωμον και θελεις καθαριζει το αγιαστηριον·

19 και ο ιερευς θελει λαμβανει απο του αιματος της περι αμαρτιας προσφορας και θελει θετει επι τους παραστατας του οικου και επι τας τεσσαρας γωνιας της οφρυος του θυσιαστηριου και επι τους παραστατας της πυλης της εσωτερας αυλης.

20 Και ουτω θελεις καμνει τη εβδομη του μηνος υπερ παντος αμαρτανοντος εξ αγνοιας και υπερ του απλου· ουτω θελετε καμνει εξιλεωσιν υπερ του οικου.

21 Εν τω πρωτω μηνι, τη δεκατη τεταρτη ημερα του μηνος, θελει εισθαι εις εσας το πασχα, εορτη επτα ημερων· αζυμα θελουσι τρωγει.

22 Και κατ' εκεινην την ημεραν ο αρχων θελει ετοιμαζει υπερ εαυτου και υπερ παντος του λαου της γης μοσχον δια προσφοραν περι αμαρτιας.

23 Και εν ταις επτα ημεραις της εορτης θελει καμνει ολοκαυτωματα εις τον Κυριον, επτα μοσχους και επτα κριους αμωμους καθ' ημεραν εν ταις επτα ημεραις, και τραγον εξ αιγων καθ' ημεραν δια προσφοραν περι αμαρτιας.

24 Και θελει ετοιμαζει προσφοραν εξ αλφιτων ενος εφα δια τον μοσχον και ενος εφα δια τον κριον και ενος ι ελαιου εις το εφα.

25 Εν τω εβδομω μηνι, τη δεκατη πεμπτη ημερα του μηνος, θελει καμνει εν τη εορτη κατα τα αυτα επτα ημερας, κατα την προσφοραν την περι αμαρτιας, κατα τα ολοκαυτωματα και κατα την εξ αλφιτων προσφοραν και κατα το ελαιον.

Apocalypse Revealed#36

学习本章节

  
/962  
  

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1章

学习

1 Now it happened in the thirtieth year, in the fourth [month], in the fifth [day] of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.

2 In the fifth [day] of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,

3 the word of Yahweh came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of Yahweh was there on him.

4 I looked, and behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with flashing lightning, and a brightness around it, and out of its midst as it were glowing metal, out of the midst of the fire.

5 Out of its midst came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.

6 Everyone had four faces, and each one of them had four wings.

7 Their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like burnished brass.

8 They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and the four of them had their faces and their wings [thus]:

9 their wings were joined one to another; they didn't turn when they went; each one went straight forward.

10 As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man; and the four of them had the face of a lion on the right side; and the four of them had the face of an ox on the left side; the four of them also had the face of an eagle.

11 Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above. Two wings of each one touched another, and Two covered their bodies.

12 Each one went straight forward: where the spirit was to go, they went; they didn't turn when they went.

13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches: [the fire] went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.

14 The living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.

15 Now as I saw the living creatures, behold, one wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, for each of the four faces of it.

16 The appearance of the wheels and their work was like a beryl: and the four of them had one likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.

17 When they went, they went in their four directions: they didn't turn when they went.

18 As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and the four of them had their rims full of eyes all around.

19 When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.

20 Wherever the spirit was to go, they went; there was the spirit to go: and the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

21 When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up beside them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

22 Over the head of the living creature there was the likeness of an expanse, like the awesome crystal to look on, stretched forth Over their heads above.

23 Under the expanse were their wings straight, the one toward the other: each one had two which covered on this side, and every one had two which covered on that side, their bodies.

24 When they went, I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a noise of tumult like the noise of an army: when they stood, they let down their wings.

25 There was a voice above the expanse that was over their heads: when they stood, they let down their wings.

26 Above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and on the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man on it above.

27 I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it all around, from the appearance of his waist and upward; and from the appearance of his waist and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him.

28 As the appearance of the rainbow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yahweh. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.
