1 Ang kamay ng Panginoon ay sumasa akin, at kaniyang dinala ako sa Espiritu ng Panginoon, at inilagay niya ako sa gitna ng libis; at yao'y puno ng mga buto.

2 At pinaraan niya ako sa tabi ng mga yaon sa palibot: at, narito, may totoong marami sa luwal na libis; at, narito, mga totoong tuyo.

3 At kaniyang sinabi sa akin, Anak ng tao, maaari bagang mabuhay ang mga butong ito? At ako'y sumagot, Oh Panginoong Dios; ikaw ang nakakaalam.

4 Muling sinabi niya sa akin, Manghula ka sa mga butong ito, at sabihin mo sa kanila, Oh kayong mga tuyong buto, inyong pakinggan ang salita ng Panginoon.

5 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios sa mga butong ito: Narito, aking papapasukin ang hinga sa inyo, at kayo'y mangabubuhay.

6 At lalagyan ko kayo ng mga litid, at babalutin ko kayo ng laman, at tatakpan ko kayo ng balat, at lalagyan ko kayo ng hininga, at kayo'y mangabubuhay; at inyong malalaman na ako ang Panginoon.

7 Sa gayo'y nanghula ako ng gaya ng iniutos sa akin: at habang ako'y nanghuhula, may naghinugong, at, narito, isang lindol; at ang mga buto ay nangagkalapit, buto sa kaniyang buto.

8 At ako'y tumingin, at, narito, may mga litid sa mga yaon, at laman ay lumitaw sa mga yaon at ang balat ay tumakip sa mga yaon sa ibabaw; nguni't walang hininga sa kanila.

9 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi niya sa akin, Manghula ka sa hangin, manghula ka, anak ng tao, at sabihin mo sa hangin, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Manggaling ka sa apat na hangin, Oh hinga, at humihip ka sa mga patay na ito, upang sila'y mangabuhay.

10 Sa gayo'y nanghula ako ng gaya ng iniutos niya sa akin, at ang hininga ay pumasok sa kanila, at sila'y nangabuhay, at nagsitayo ng kanilang mga paa, isang totoong malaking pulutong.

11 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi niya sa akin, Anak ng tao, ang mga butong ito ay ang buong sangbahayan ni Israel: narito, kanilang sinasabi, Ang ating mga buto ay natuyo, at ang ating pagasa ay nawala; tayo'y lubos na nahiwalay.

12 Kaya't manghula ka, at sabihin mo sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Narito, aking bubuksan ang inyong mga libingan, at aking pasasampahin kayo mula sa inyong mga libingan, Oh bayan ko; at aking dadalhin kayo sa lupain ng Israel.

13 At inyong malalaman na ako ang Panginoon, pagka aking binuksan ang inyong libingan, at aking pinasampa kayo na mula sa inyong mga libingan, Oh bayan ko.

14 At aking ilalagay ang aking Espiritu sa inyo, at kayo'y mangabubuhay, at aking ilalagay kayo sa inyong sariling lupain, at inyong mangalalaman na akong Panginoon ang nagsalita, at nagsagawa, sabi ng Panginoon.

15 Ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating uli sa akin, na nagsasabi:

16 At ikaw, anak ng tao, kumuha ka ng isang tungkod, at sulatan mo sa ibabaw, Sa Juda at sa mga anak ni Israel na kaniyang mga kasama: saka kumuha ka ng ibang tungkod, at iyong sulatan: Sa Jose, na siyang tungkod ng Ephraim, at sa buong sangbahayan ni Israel na kaniyang mga kasama:

17 At iyong papagugnayugnayin sa ganang iyo na maging isang tungkod, upang maging isa sa iyong kamay.

18 At pagka ang mga anak ng iyong bayan ay mangagsasalita sa iyo, na mangagsasabi, Hindi mo baga ipakikilala sa amin kung ano ang kahulugan ng mga ito?

19 Sabihin mo sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Narito, aking kukunin ang tungkod ng Jose, na nasa kamay ng Ephraim, at ang mga lipi ng Israel na kaniyang mga kasama: at akin silang isasama roon, sa tungkod ng Juda, at gagawin ko silang isang tungkod, at sila'y magiging isa sa aking kamay.

20 At ang tungkod na iyong sinusulatan ay hahawakan mo sa harap ng kanilang mga mata.

21 At sabihin mo sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Narito, aking kukunin ang mga anak ni Israel mula sa gitna ng mga bansa, na kanilang pinaroonan, at pipisanin ko sila sa lahat ng dako, at dadalhin ko sila sa kanilang sariling lupain:

22 At gagawin ko silang isang bansa sa lupain, sa mga bundok ng Israel; at isang hari ang magiging hari sa kanilang lahat; at hindi na sila magiging dalawang bansa, o mahahati pa man sila sa dalawang kaharian;

23 At hindi na naman mapapahamak pa sila ng dahil sa kanilang mga diosdiosan, o sa kanila mang mga kasuklamsuklam na bagay, o sa anoman sa kanilang mga pagsalangsang; kundi aking ililigtas sila mula sa lahat nilang tahanang dako, na kanilang pinagkasalanan, at lilinisin ko sila: sa gayo'y magiging bayan ko sila, at ako'y magiging kanilang Dios.

24 At ang aking lingkod na si David ay magiging hari sa kanila; at silang lahat ay magkakaroon ng isang pastor; magsisilakad din naman sila ng ayon sa aking mga kahatulan, at susundin ang aking mga palatuntunan, at isasagawa.

25 At sila'y magsisitahan sa lupain na aking ibinigay kay Jacob na aking lingkod, na tinahanan ng inyong mga magulang; at sila'y magsisitahan doon, sila at ang kanilang mga anak, at ang mga anak ng kanilang mga anak, magpakailan man: at si David na aking lingkod ay magiging kanilang prinsipe magpakailan man.

26 Bukod dito'y makikipagtipan ako ng tipan ng kapayapaan sa kanila; magiging tipan na walang hanggan sa kanila; at aking ilalagay sila, at pararamihin sila at itatatag ko ang aking santuario sa gitna nila magpakailan man.

27 Ang aking tabernakulo naman ay mapapasa gitna nila; at ako'y magiging kanilang Dios, at sila'y magiging aking bayan.

28 At malalaman ng mga bansa na ako ang Panginoon na nagpapabanal sa Israel, pagka ang aking santuario ay mapapasa gitna nila magpakailan man.

8972. Verse 1 And these are the judgements which you shall set before them means those more external truths such as must exist in a civic state where the Church is representative, which flow from the internal truths belonging to order in heaven. The fact that these things are meant by 'the judgements that were to be set before the children of Israel' is clear from the meaning of 'judgements' as truths, dealt with in 2235, 6397, 7206, 8685, 8695. The reason why 'judgements' are truths is that all judgement is effected by means of truths; therefore 'executing judgement' in the Word means executing truth, that is, judging in accordance with truths. But the plural 'judgements' means civil laws, thus those more external truths such as exist in a civic state. The words 'where the Church is representative' are added because these truths contain and embody within themselves the truths that belong to order in heaven, as may be recognized from the internal sense of them.

[2] The laws which the Lord delivered to the children of Israel and commanded them to keep were divided into commandments, judgements, and statutes. The term 'commandments' was given to those which were laws of life, 'judgements' to those which were laws of the civic state, and 'statutes' to those which were laws of worship. As regards judgements specifically, they are the kinds of laws that are contained in the present chapter and also some that follow. They served as laws in a Church in which inner realities, those of heaven and of the Church, were represented by outward things; but they do not serve as laws in a Church in which inner realities are no longer represented by outward things, as in the Christian Church. The reason for this is that inner realities have been revealed to people of this Church, and therefore inner realities are the channel through which contact is made with heaven, not outward things, as had been the situation before the Christian Church. Here is the reason why members of the Christian Church are not bound to adhere to the outward requirements of the laws called judgements and statutes, only to the inward ones. Holiness still remains within them because they hold holy truths within them, as also does every single command in the Word regarding the sacrifices. Although these are no longer prescriptive laws they remain holy constituents of the Word because of the Divine realities which they hold within themselves and which they represented. For when they are read by a Christian the Divine realities which are held within them and which were represented by them are discerned in heaven. They fill the angels with holiness, and at the same time the reader too through influx from the angels, especially if the reader himself is thinking at the same time about the Divine realities within them. From this it is evident that even the Old Testament Word is extremely holy.

[3] The fact that the laws which the Lord delivered to the children of Israel and commanded them to keep were divided into commandments that were laws of life, judgements that were laws of the civic state, and statutes that were laws of worship, is evident in Moses,

Jehovah said to Moses, Go, say to them, Go back into your tents. But you, stand here with Me, that I may tell you all the commandments, and statutes, and judgements which you shall teach them, so that they may do them. Deuteronomy 5:30-31.

In the same author,

Furthermore these are the commandments, statutes, and judgements which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you. Deuteronomy 6:1.

In the same author,

Therefore you shall keep the commandments and the statutes and the judgments which I am commanding you today, to do them. Deuteronomy 7:11.

In David,

If his sons forsake My law and do not walk in My judgements, if they profane My statutes and do not keep My commandments, I will visit their transgression with the rod. Psalms 89:30-32.

[4] Furthermore all the laws, in that they were those of a representative Church, were generally called judgements and statutes, as in Moses,

Now therefore, O Israel, hear the statutes and the judgements which I will teach you, that you may do them. What great nation [is there] that has righteous statutes and judgements, like all this law which I will set before you today? Deuteronomy 4:1, 8; 5:1.

In Ezekiel.

Jerusalem has changed My judgements into wickedness more than the nations, and My statutes more than the lands that are around her; for they have repudiated My judgements, and have not walked in My statutes. Ezekiel 5:6-7.

In the same prophet,

Let him 1 walk in My statutes and keep My judgements - to do the truth. Ezekiel 18:9.

In addition to these there are many other places, such as Leviticus 18:5; 19:37; 20:22; 25:18; 26:15; Deuteronomy 26:17; Ezekiel 11:12, 20; 20:11, 13, 25; 37:24.
