1 και συ υιε ανθρωπου προφητευσον επι γωγ και ειπον ταδε λεγει κυριος ιδου εγω επι σε γωγ αρχοντα ρως μοσοχ και θοβελ

2 και συναξω σε και καθοδηγησω σε και αναβιβω σε απ' εσχατου του βορρα και αναξω σε επι τα ορη του ισραηλ

3 και απολω το τοξον σου απο της χειρος σου της αριστερας και τα τοξευματα σου απο της χειρος σου της δεξιας και καταβαλω σε

4 επι τα ορη ισραηλ και πεση συ και παντες οι περι σε και τα εθνη τα μετα σου δοθησονται εις πληθη ορνεων παντι πετεινω και πασι τοις θηριοις του πεδιου δεδωκα σε καταβρωθηναι

5 επι προσωπου του πεδιου πεση οτι εγω ελαλησα λεγει κυριος

6 και αποστελω πυρ επι γωγ και κατοικηθησονται αι νησοι επ' ειρηνης και γνωσονται οτι εγω ειμι κυριος

7 και το ονομα μου το αγιον γνωσθησεται εν μεσω λαου μου ισραηλ και ου βεβηλωθησεται το ονομα μου το αγιον ουκετι και γνωσονται τα εθνη οτι εγω ειμι κυριος αγιος εν ισραηλ

8 ιδου ηκει και γνωση οτι εσται λεγει κυριος κυριος αυτη εστιν η ημερα εν η ελαλησα

9 και εξελευσονται οι κατοικουντες τας πολεις ισραηλ και καυσουσιν εν τοις οπλοις πελταις και κοντοις και τοξοις και τοξευμασιν και ραβδοις χειρων και λογχαις και καυσουσιν εν αυτοις πυρ επτα ετη

10 και ου μη λαβωσιν ξυλα εκ του πεδιου ουδε μη κοψωσιν εκ των δρυμων αλλ' η τα οπλα κατακαυσουσιν πυρι και προνομευσουσιν τους προνομευσαντας αυτους και σκυλευσουσιν τους σκυλευσαντας αυτους λεγει κυριος

11 και εσται εν τη ημερα εκεινη δωσω τω γωγ τοπον ονομαστον μνημειον εν ισραηλ το πολυανδριον των επελθοντων προς τη θαλασση και περιοικοδομησουσιν το περιστομιον της φαραγγος και κατορυξουσιν εκει τον γωγ και παν το πληθος αυτου και κληθησεται το γαι το πολυανδριον του γωγ

12 και κατορυξουσιν αυτους οικος ισραηλ ινα καθαρισθη η γη εν επταμηνω

13 και κατορυξουσιν αυτους πας ο λαος της γης και εσται αυτοις εις ονομαστον η ημερα εδοξασθην λεγει κυριος

14 και ανδρας δια παντος διαστελουσιν επιπορευομενους την γην θαψαι τους καταλελειμμενους επι προσωπου της γης καθαρισαι αυτην μετα την επταμηνον και εκζητησουσιν

15 και πας ο διαπορευομενος την γην και ιδων οστουν ανθρωπου οικοδομησει παρ' αυτο σημειον εως οτου θαψωσιν αυτο οι θαπτοντες εις το γαι το πολυανδριον του γωγ

16 και γαρ το ονομα της πολεως πολυανδριον και καθαρισθησεται η γη

17 και συ υιε ανθρωπου ειπον ταδε λεγει κυριος ειπον παντι ορνεω πετεινω και προς παντα τα θηρια του πεδιου συναχθητε και ερχεσθε συναχθητε απο παντων των περικυκλω επι την θυσιαν μου ην τεθυκα υμιν θυσιαν μεγαλην επι τα ορη ισραηλ και φαγεσθε κρεα και πιεσθε αιμα

18 κρεα γιγαντων φαγεσθε και αιμα αρχοντων της γης πιεσθε κριους και μοσχους και τραγους και οι μοσχοι εστεατωμενοι παντες

19 και φαγεσθε στεαρ εις πλησμονην και πιεσθε αιμα εις μεθην απο της θυσιας μου ης εθυσα υμιν

20 και εμπλησθησεσθε επι της τραπεζης μου ιππον και αναβατην γιγαντα και παντα ανδρα πολεμιστην λεγει κυριος

21 και δωσω την δοξαν μου εν υμιν και οψονται παντα τα εθνη την κρισιν μου ην εποιησα και την χειρα μου ην επηγαγον επ' αυτους

22 και γνωσονται οικος ισραηλ οτι εγω ειμι κυριος ο θεος αυτων απο της ημερας ταυτης και επεκεινα

23 και γνωσονται παντα τα εθνη οτι δια τας αμαρτιας αυτων ηχμαλωτευθησαν οικος ισραηλ ανθ' ων ηθετησαν εις εμε και απεστρεψα το προσωπον μου απ' αυτων και παρεδωκα αυτους εις χειρας των εχθρων αυτων και επεσαν παντες μαχαιρα

24 κατα τας ακαθαρσιας αυτων και κατα τα ανομηματα αυτων εποιησα αυτοις και απεστρεψα το προσωπον μου απ' αυτων

25 δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος κυριος νυν αποστρεψω την αιχμαλωσιαν ιακωβ και ελεησω τον οικον ισραηλ και ζηλωσω δια το ονομα το αγιον μου

26 και λημψονται την ατιμιαν εαυτων και την αδικιαν ην ηδικησαν εν τω κατοικισθηναι αυτους επι την γην αυτων επ' ειρηνης και ουκ εσται ο εκφοβων

27 εν τω αποστρεψαι με αυτους εκ των εθνων και συναγαγειν με αυτους εκ των χωρων των εθνων και αγιασθησομαι εν αυτοις ενωπιον των εθνων

28 και γνωσονται οτι εγω ειμι κυριος ο θεος αυτων εν τω επιφανηναι με αυτοις εν τοις εθνεσιν

29 και ουκ αποστρεψω ουκετι το προσωπον μου απ' αυτων ανθ' ου εξεχεα τον θυμον μου επι τον οικον ισραηλ λεγει κυριος κυριος

9228. The fact that 'seven' means a whole period from start to finish, thus what is complete, is clear from a large number of places in the Word, as in Isaiah,

The light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, on the day when Jehovah will bind up the hurt 1 of His people. Isaiah 30:26.

This refers to the salvation of faithful believers and their intelligence and wisdom in the Lord's kingdom. 'The moon' is faith received from the Lord, thus belief in the Lord, and 'the sun' is love derived from the Lord, thus love to the Lord, 30-38, 1521, 1529-1531, 2441, 2495, 3636, 3643, 4060, 4321 (end), 4696, 5377, 7078, 7083, 7171, 8644. 'The light of the sun will be sevenfold, as the light of seven days' means a complete state of intelligence and wisdom because of love to and belief in the Lord.

[2] In Ezekiel,

The inhabitants of the cities of Israel will go out, and they will set alight and burn the weapons, both shield and buckler, together with bow and arrows, and hand-staff, and spear; they will set fire to them for seven years, that they may not bring wood from the field nor cut down any from the forests. And they will cleanse the land in seven months. Ezekiel 39:9-10, 12.

This refers to the destruction of falsity. 'The weapons' that are listed here are falsities used by those who are evil to fight against the Church's truths. 'Setting fire to them for seven years' means complete destruction brought about by the desires of self-love and love of the world. 'In order that they may bring no wood from the field or cut down any from the forests' means when no good at all survives, neither in the internal man nor in the external. 'Cleansing the land in seven months' means the complete restoration of goodness and truth within the Church. It has been shown in very many places that 'weapons' are truths fighting against falsities, and in the contrary sense falsities fighting against truths; that 'bow and arrows' means teachings that present truth, and in the contrary sense teachings that present falsity; that 'hand-staff' means the power of truth, and in the contrary sense the power of falsity; that 'setting alight and burning' means laying waste through the desires of self-love and love of the world; that 'wood from the field' means the Church's forms of interior good, and 'wood from the forests' factual knowledge of goodness and truth; and that 'the land' means the Church. Anyone can see that different things are meant here from those which present themselves in the letter, as when it says that they will burn the weapons, and set them alight for seven years, in order that they may bring no wood from the field or cut down any from the forests. People do indeed know that things of a holy and Divine nature are meant, because the Word is holy and comes from God. But they cannot by any means know which things of a holy and Divine nature are contained in these words unless they know what the meaning is of 'weapons', 'seven years' and 'seven months', 'wood from the field' and 'wood from the forests'. From this it is evident that without knowledge gained from the internal sense those prophetic utterances are completely unintelligible.

[3] In David,

Seven times in the day I praise You over the judgements of Your righteousness. Psalms 119:164.

In the same author,

Repay [our] neighbours sevenfold into their bosom. Psalms 79:12.

'Sevenfold' means completely. The meaning is similar in Moses, where it says that they would be punished sevenfold if they went against commandments and statutes, Leviticus 26:18, 21, 24, 28. Anyone who does not know that 'seven' means a whole period from start to finish, and therefore what is complete, will suppose that 'seven weeks' in Daniel means seven lengths of time,

Know and perceive that from the going forth of the Word to restore and to build Jerusalem until the Messiah, the Prince, there will be seven weeks. Daniel 9:25.

But 'seven weeks until the Messiah, the Prince' means what is said of the Lord, namely that He will come in the fullness of time, so that 'seven weeks' means a whole period. From this it is evident that the seven spirits before God's throne, Revelation 1:4, the book sealed with seven seals, Revelation 5:1, and the seven angels holding 'the seven bowls, which are the seven last plagues, Revelation 15:1, 6-7; 21:9, do not mean seven spirits, seven seals, or seven angels, bowls, and plagues, but all things even to completeness. The statement in 1 Samuel 2:5 that the barren has borne seven in like manner does not mean seven but a great amount, even to a complete amount.

[4] Because 'seven' had this meaning it was stipulated that a priest at his initiation should wear the garments for seven days, Exodus 29:30; that his hands should be filled for seven days, 2 Exodus 29:35; that the altar should be sanctified for seven days, Exodus 29:37; and that those initiated into the priesthood should not depart from the tent [of meeting] for seven days, Leviticus 8:33-34. So too with the reference to the unclean spirit going out of a person and returning with seven others, Matthew 12:43-45; Luke 11:26; also where it says that if a brother sins seven times in a day and is seven times converted he is to be forgiven, Luke 17:4; and that the heart of Nebuchadnezzar was changed from [that of] a human being and the heart of a beast was given to him while seven times passed by, Daniel 4:15, 25, 32. For the same reasons also Job's friends sat down with him on the earth seven days and seven nights and spoke nothing to him, Job 2:13. Seventy in a similar way means that which is complete, see 6508, as also does a week, 2044, 3845. From all this it now becomes clear that 'the eighth day' means the initial phase of the following state.

Exodus第22章

学习

   

1 "If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and kills it, or sells it; he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.

2 If the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt of bloodshed for him.

3 If the sun has risen on him, guilt of bloodshed shall be for him; he shall make restitution. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

4 If the stolen property is found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, donkey, or sheep, he shall pay double.

5 "If a man causes a field or vineyard to be eaten, and lets his animal loose, and it grazes in another man's field, he shall make restitution from the best of his own field, and from the best of his own vineyard.

6 "If fire breaks out, and catches in thorns so that the shocks of grain, or the standing grain, or the field are consumed; he who kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.

7 "If a man delivers to his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it is stolen out of the man's house; if the thief is found, he shall pay double.

8 If the thief isn't found, then the master of the house shall come near to God, to find out if he hasn't put his hand to his neighbor's goods.

9 For every matter of trespass, whether it be for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any kind of lost thing, about which one says, 'This is mine,' the cause of both parties shall come before God. He whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbor.

10 "If a man delivers to his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies or is injured, or driven away, no man seeing it;

11 the oath of Yahweh shall be between them both, whether he hasn't put his hand to his neighbor's goods; and its owner shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.

12 But if it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to its owner.

13 If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it for evidence. He shall not make good that which was torn.

14 "If a man borrows anything of his neighbor's, and it is injured, or dies, its owner not being with it, he shall surely make restitution.

15 If its owner is with it, he shall not make it good. If it is a leased thing, it came for its lease.

16 "If a man entices a virgin who isn't pledged to be married, and lies with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife.

17 If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

18 "You shall not allow a sorceress to live.

19 "Whoever has sex with an animal shall surely be put to death.

20 "He who sacrifices to any god, except to Yahweh only, shall be utterly destroyed.

21 "You shall not wrong an alien, neither shall you oppress him, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

22 "You shall not take advantage of any widow or fatherless child.

23 If you take advantage of them at all, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;

24 and my wrath will grow hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

25 "If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor; neither shall you charge him interest.

26 If you take your neighbor's garment as collateral, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down,

27 for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What would he sleep in? It will happen, when he cries to me, that I will hear, for I am gracious.

28 "You shall not blaspheme God, nor curse a ruler of your people.

29 "You shall not delay to offer from your harvest and from the outflow of your presses. "You shall give the firstborn of your sons to me.

30 You shall do likewise with your cattle and with your sheep. Seven days it shall be with its mother, then on the eighth day you shall give it to me.

31 "You shall be holy men to me, therefore you shall not eat any flesh that is torn by animals in the field. You shall cast it to the dogs.
