1 Потомъ мы обратились и отправились въ пустыню къ Чермному морю, какъ говорилъ мнј Господь, и много времени ходили вокругъ горы Сеира.

2 И сказалъ мнј Господь:

3 полно вамъ ходить вокругъ этой горы, обратитесь къ сјверу.

4 И народу дай повелјніе, и скажи: вы будете проходить предјлы братій вашихъ, сыновъ Исавовыхъ, живущихъ на Сеирј, и они убоятся васъ, но остерегайтесь

5 всячески начинать съ ними войну; ибо Я не дамъ вамъ земли ихъ ни на стопу ноги, потому что гору Сеиръ Я далъ въ наслјдіе Исаву.

6 Хлјбъ для прокормленія покупайте у нихъ за сребро, и воду для питья покупайте у нихъ за сребро:

7 ибо Господь, Богъ твой, благословилъ тебя во всякомъ дјлј рукъ твоихъ, покровительствовалъ тебј во время шествія твоего по великой пустынј сей; вотъ, сорокъ лјтъ Господь, Богъ твой, съ тобою, ты ни въ чемъ не терпјлъ недостатка.

8 И шли мы мимо братій нашихъ, сыновъ Исавовыхъ; живущихъ на Сеирј, путемъ равнины, отъ Елаѕа и Еціонъ-Гавера, и обратились и шли къ пустынј Моава.

9 Тогда Господь сказалъ мнј: не вступай во вражду съ Моавомъ и не начинай съ ними войны; ибо Я не дамъ тебј земли его въ наслјдіе, потому что Аръ отдалъ Я въ наслјдіе сынамъ Лотовымъ.

10 (Прежде жили тамъ Емимы, народъ великій, многочисленный и высокій, какъ сыны Енаковы;

11 и они считались между Рефаимами, какъ сыны Енаковы; Моавитяне же называютъ ихъ Емимами.

12 А на Сеирј жили прежде Хорреи; но сыны Исавовы прогнали ихъ и истребили ихъ отъ лица своего, и поселились на мјстј ихъ, такъ, какъ поступилъ Израиль съ землею наслјдія своего, которую далъ имъ Господь).

13 Итакъ встаньте и пройдите долину Заредъ. И прошли мы долииу Заредъ.

14 Съ тјхъ поръ, какъ мы пошли изъ Кадесъ-Варни, до тјхъ поръ, какъ мы прошли долину Заредъ, прошло тридцать восемь лјтъ, какъ наконецъ перевелся изъ среды стана весь родъ ходящихъ на войну, какъ Господь клялся имъ.

15 Да и рука Господня была на нихъ, чтобы истреблять ихъ изъ среды стана, пока не перевелись.

16 Когда же перевелись всј ходящіе на войну и перемерли изъ среды народа,

17 тогда говорилъ мнј Господь, и сказалъ:

18 ты проходишь нынј мимо предјловъ Моава, мимо Ара,

19 и приблизился къ сынамъ Аммоновымъ; не вступай съ ними во вражду и не начинай съ ними войны; ибо Я не дамъ тебј земли сыновъ Аммоновыхъ въ наслјдіе, потому что Я отдалъ ее въ наслјдіе сынамъ Лотовымъ.

20 (И она считается землею Рефаимовъ, прежде жили на ней Рефаимы, Амионитяне же называютъ ихъ Замзуммимами.

21 Народъ великій, многочисленный и высокій, какъ сыны Енаковы, и истребилъ ихъ Господь предъ лицемъ ихъ, и изгнали они ихъ, и поселились на мјстј ихъ,

22 такъ, какъ Онъ сдјлалъ для сыновъ Исавовыхх, живущихъ на Сеирј, истребивъ предъ лицемъ ихъ Хорреевъ, и они изгнали ихъ, и поселились на мјстј ихъ и живутъ до сего дня;

23 и такъ, какъ Аввеевъ, жившихъ въ селеніяхъ до самой Газы, Кафторяне, пришедшіе изъ Кафтора, истребили и поселились на мјстј ихъ.)

24 Встаньте, отправьтесь и перейдите потокъ Арнонъ; вотъ, Я предаю въ руку твою Сигона, царя Есевонскаго, Аморреянина, и землю его, начинай брать наслјдіе и веди съ нимъ войну.

25 Съ сего дня я начну распространять страхъ твой и ужасъ твой на народы подъ всјмъ небомъ; тј, которые услышатъ о тебј, вострепещутъ и ужаснутся тебя.

26 И послалъ я пословъ изъ пустыни Кедемоѕъ къ Сигону, царю Есевонскому, съ словами мирными, чтобъ сказать:

27 позволь пройдти мнј землею твоею, я пойду дорогою, не сойду ни на право ни на лјво;

28 хлјбъ для прокормленія продавай мнј за сребро, и воду для питья давай мнј за сребро, только ногами моими пройду:

29 такъ, какъ сдјлали мнј сыны Исава, живущіе на Сеирј, и Моавитяие, живущіе въ Арј, пока не перейду чрезъ Іорданъ въ землю, которую Господь, Богъ нашъ, даетъ намъ.

30 Но Сигонъ, царь Есевонскій, не согласился позволить пройдти намъ черезъ свою землю, потому что Господь, Богъ твой, ожесточилъ духъ его, и сердце его сдјлалъ упорнымъ, чтобы предать его въ руку твою, какъ это видно нынј.

31 Тогда сказалъ мнј Господь: се, Я начинаю предавать тебј Сигона и землю его; начинай брать наслјдіе, взявъ въ наслјдіе землю его.

32 Сигонъ со всјмъ народомъ своимъ выступилъ противъ насъ на сраженіе къ Іаацј.

33 И предалъ его предъ нами Господь, Богъ нашъ, и мы поразили его и сыновъ его и весь народъ его;

34 и взяли въ то время всј города его, и предали заклятію всј города, мужчинъ и женщинъ и дјтей, не оставили никого въ живыхъ.

35 Только взяли мы себј въ добычу скотъ ихъ и захваченное во взятыхъ нами городахъ.

36 Отъ Ароира, который на берегу потока Арнона, и отъ города, который на долинј до Галаада, не было города, который бы неприступенъ былъ для насъ: все предалъ предъ нами Господь, Богъ нашъ.

37 Только къ землј сыновъ Аммоновыхъ ты не подходилъ, ни къ мјстамъ близъ потока Іавока, ни къ городамъ, которые на горј, и ни къ чему такому, къ чему не повелјлъ Господь, Богъ нашъ.

4270. 'And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two servant-girls, and his eleven sons, and passed over at the passage of Jabbok' means the first instillation of the affections for truth, together with truths that had been acquired. This is clear from the meaning of 'the two wives', who in this case are Rachel and Leah, as affections for truth, dealt with in 3758, 3782, 3793, 3819; from the meaning of 'the two servant-girls', who in this case are Bilhah and Zilpah, as exterior affections for truth that serve as means, dealt with in 3849, 3931; from the meaning of 'sons' as truths, dealt with in 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2623, 3373; and from the meaning of 'the passage of Jabbok' as the first instillation. The reason why 'Jabbok' means the first instillation is that it was a boundary to the land of Canaan. All the boundaries of that land were signs meaning the celestial and spiritual things of the Lord's kingdom, the distance and position of them determining their exact meanings, see 1585, 1866, 4116, 4240. The same applies to 'the ford (or passage) of Jabbok', which in relation to the land of Canaan was across the Jordan and was the boundary of the inheritance of the children of Reuben and Gad, as becomes clear from Numbers 21:24; Deuteronomy 2:36-37; 3:16-17; Joshua 12:2; Judges 11:13, 22. The reason why that territory had fallen to them as an inheritance was that Reuben represented faith in the understanding, or doctrine, which is the first stage of regeneration, or the truth of doctrine as a whole, by means of which the good of life is arrived at, see 3861, 3866; while Gad represented the works of faith, 3934. That is to say, those truths of faith or matters of doctrine, and these works of faith which are the works performed first, are the ones by means of which a person who is being regenerated is led on into good. This is why 'the passage of Jabbok' means the first instillation.

1585. 'And he saw all the plain of Jordan' means the goods and truths that resided with the external man. This is clear from the meaning of 'a plain' and of 'the Jordan'. In the internal sense 'the plain surrounding the Jordan' means the external man as regards all his goods and truths. The reason the plain of Jordan has this meaning is that the Jordan was a boundary of the land of Canaan. 'The land of Canaan', as stated and shown already, means the Lord's kingdom and Church, and in particular its celestial and spiritual things; this also explains why it was called the Holy Land, and the heavenly Canaan. And because it means the Lord's kingdom and Church, it means in the highest sense the Lord Himself, who is the All in all of His kingdom and of His Church.

[2] For this reason all things in the land of Canaan were representative. Those in the midst of the land, or that were inmost, represented His internal Man - Mount Zion and Jerusalem, for example, representing respectively celestial things and spiritual things. More outlying districts represented things more remote from internals. And the most outlying districts, or those which formed the boundaries, represented the external man. There were several boundaries to the land of Canaan, but in general they were the two rivers Euphrates and Jordan, and also the Sea, 1 for which reason the Euphrates and the Jordan represented external things. Here therefore 'the plain of Jordan' means, as it also represents, all things residing in the external man. The meaning of the land of Canaan is similar when used in reference to the Lord's kingdom in heaven, to the Lord's Church on earth, to the member of that kingdom or Church, or abstractly to the celestial things of love, and so on.

[3] Almost all the cities therefore, and indeed all the mountains, hills, valleys, rivers, and other features in the land of Canaan, were representative. The river Euphrates, being a boundary, represented, as shown already in 120, sensory evidence and facts that belong to the external man, and so too did the Jordan and the plain of Jordan, as becomes clear from the following places: In David,

O my God, my soul bows itself down within me; 2 therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan, and the Hermons from the little mountain. Psalms 42:6.

Here 'the land of Jordan' stands for that which is lowly and so is distant from the celestial, as a person's externals are from his internals.

[4] The crossing of the Jordan when the children of Israel entered the land of Canaan and the dividing of its waters at that time also represented the approach to the internal man by way of the external, as well as a person's entry into the Lord's kingdom, and much more besides, Joshua 3:14 on to the end of Chapter 4. And because the external man is constantly hostile towards the internal and strives for domination over it, the arrogance or the pride of the Jordan came to be phrases used by the Prophets, as in Jeremiah,

How will you compete with horses? And confident in a land of peace how do you deal with the pride of the Jordan? Jeremiah 12:5.

'The pride of the Jordan' stands for those things belonging to the external man which rear up and wish to have dominion over the internal, such as reasonings, meant here by 'horses', and 'the confidence' they give.

[5] In the same prophet,

Edom will become a desolation. Behold, like a lion it will come up from the arrogance of the Jordan against the habitation of Ethan. Jeremiah 49:17, 19.

'The arrogance of the Jordan' stands for the pride of the external man against the goods and truths of the internal. In Zechariah,

Howl, O fir tree, for the cedar is fallen, for the magnificent ones have been laid waste! Howl, O oaks of Bashan, for the impenetrable forest has come down. The sound of the howling of shepherds [is heard], for their magnificence has been laid waste; the sound of the roaring of young lions, that the pride of the Jordan has been laid waste. Zechariah 11:2-3.

The fact that the Jordan was a boundary of the land of Canaan is clear from Numbers 34:12, and the eastern boundary of the land of Judah, in Joshua 15:5.
