Ezekiel 45

Funda

   

1 Bukod dito'y pagka inyong hahatiin sa pamamagitan ng sapalaran ang lupain na pinakamana, mangaghahandog kayo ng alay sa Panginoon, isang banal na bahagi ng lupain; ang haba ay magkakaroon ng habang dalawang pu't limang libong tambo, at ang luwang ay magiging sangpung libo: ito'y magiging banal sa lahat ng hangganan niyaon sa palibot.

2 Dito'y magkakaroon ukol sa dakong banal ng limang daan ang haba at limang daang luwang, parisukat sa palibot; limang pung siko sa pagitan niyaon sa palibot.

3 At sa sukat na ito iyong susukatin, na ang haba ay dalawang pu't limang libo, at ang luwang ay sangpung libo: at doo'y malalagay ang santuario, na pinakabanal.

4 Siyang banal na bahagi ng lupain; ito'y para sa mga saserdote, na mga tagapangasiwa ng santuario, na nagsisilapit upang magsipangasiwa sa Panginoon; at ito'y magiging dakong kalalagyan ng kanilang mga bahay, at banal na dakong kalalagyan ng santuario.

5 At dalawang pu't limang libo ang haba, at sangpung libo ang luwang ay magiging sa mga Levita, na mga tagapangasiwa ng bahay, na pinaka pag-aari sa kanilang sarili, na dalawang pung silid.

6 At inyong itatakda ang pag-aari ng bayan na limang libo ang luwang, at dalawang pu't limang libo ang haba, sa tabi ng alay na banal na bahagi: magiging ukol sa buong sangbahayan ni Israel.

7 Magkakaroon naman para sa prinsipe ng bahagi sa isang dako at sa kabilang dako sa banal na alay at sa pag-aari ng bayan, sa harap ng banal na alay at sa harap ng pag-aari ng bayan, sa dakong kalunuran na gawing kalunuran, at sa dakong silanganan na gawing silanganan; at ang haba ay ayon sa isa sa mga bahagi, mula sa hangganang kalunuran hanggang sa hangganang silanganan.

8 Sa lupaing ito'y magiging kaniya na pinakaari sa Israel: at hindi na pipighatiin pa ng aking mga prinsipe ang aking bayan; kundi ibibigay nila ang lupain sa sangbahayan ni Israel ayon sa kanilang mga lipi.

9 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Magkasiya ito sa inyo, Oh mga prinsipe ng Israel: iwan ninyo ang pangdadahas at pagsamsam, at magsagawa kayo ng kahatulan at ng kaganapan; alisin ninyo ang inyong atang sa aking bayan, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

10 Kayo'y magkakaroon ng mga ganap na timbangan; at ganap na efa, at ganap na bath.

11 Ang efa at ang bath ay magiging iisang takalan, upang ang bath ay maglaman ng ikasangpung bahagi ng isang homer, at ang efa ay ikasangpung bahagi ng isang homer: ang takal niyaon ay magiging ayon sa homer.

12 At ang siklo ay magiging dalawang pung gera: dalawangpung siklo, lima at dalawang pung siklo, labing limang siklo ay siyang magiging maneh ninyo.

13 Ito ang alay na inyong ihahandog: ang ikaanim na bahagi ng isang efa mula sa isang homer ng trigo; at inyong ibibigay ang ikaanim na bahagi ng isang efa mula sa isang homer ng cebada;

14 At ang takdang bahagi ng langis, ng bath ng langis, ang ikasangpung bahagi ng bath mula sa isang kor, na sangpung bath, o isang homer (sapagka't sangpung bath ay isang homer);

15 At isang batang tupa sa kawan, mula sa dalawang daan, na mula sa matabang pastulan ng Israel; na pinakahandog na harina, at pinakahandog na susunugin, at pinakahandog tungkol sa kapayapaan, upang ipangtubos sa kanila, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

16 Buong bayan ng lupain ay magbibigay ng alay na ito sa prinsipe sa Israel.

17 At magiging tungkulin ng prinsipe na magbigay ng mga handog na susunugin, at ng mga handog na harina, at ng mga inuming handog, sa mga kapistahan, at sa mga bagong buwan, at sa mga sabbath, sa lahat ng takdang kapistahan ng sangbahayan ni Israel: siya'y maghahanda ng handog dahil sa kasalanan, at ng handog na harina, at ng handog na susunugin, at ng mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan, upang ipangtubos sa sangbahayan ni Israel.

18 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Sa unang buwan, sa unang araw ng buwan, kukuha ka ng guyang toro na walang kapintasan; at iyong lilinisin ang santuario.

19 At ang saserdote ay kukuha ng dugo ng handog dahil sa kasalanan, at ilalagay sa mga haligi ng pintuan ng bahay, at sa apat na sulok ng patungang dambana, at sa mga haligi ng pintuang-daan ng lalong loob na looban.

20 At gayon ang iyong gagawin sa ikapitong araw ng buwan para sa bawa't nagkakamali, at sa bawa't walang malay: gayon ninyo lilinisin ang bahay.

21 Sa unang buwan, sa ikalabing apat na araw ng buwan, magdidiwang kayo ng paskua, isang kapistahan na pitong araw; tinapay na walang levadura ang kakanin.

22 At sa araw na yaon ay maghahanda ang prinsipe para sa kaniya at sa buong bayan ng lupain ng isang guyang toro na pinakahandog dahil sa kasalanan.

23 At sa pitong araw ng kapistahan ay ipaghahanda niya ng handog na susunugin ang Panginoon, pitong toro at pitong tupa na walang kapintasan sa araw-araw na pitong araw; at isang kambing araw-araw na pinakahandog dahil sa kasalanan.

24 At siya'y maghahanda ng handog na harina, ng isang efa sa isang toro, at ng isang efa sa isang lalaking tupa, at isang hin ng langis sa isang efa.

25 Sa ikapitong buwan, sa ikalabing limang araw ng buwan, sa kapistahan, kaniyang gagawin ang gaya ng pitong araw; ayon sa handog dahil sa kasalanan, ayon sa handog na susunugin, at ayon sa handog na harina, at ayon sa langis.

Apocalypse Explained #238

Funda lesi Sigaba

  
Yiya esigabeni / 1232  
  

238. And miserable and poor, signifies that they do not know that they have neither knowledges of truth nor knowledges of good. This is evident from the signification of "miserable" or "pitiable," as meaning those who are in no knowledges of truth; and from the signification of "poor" as meaning those who are in no knowledges of good. That this is the meaning of "miserable" and "poor" is evident from many passages in the Word, and also from this, that spiritual misery and poverty are nothing else than a lack of the knowledges of truth and good, for the spirit is then miserable and poor; but when the spirit possesses these it is rich and wealthy; therefore also "riches" and "wealth" in the Word signifies spiritual riches and wealth, which are the knowledges of truth and good (as was shown just above, n. 236).

[2] "Miserable and poor" are terms used in many passages in the Word. He who is ignorant of the spiritual sense of the Word believes that by these no others are meant than the miserable and poor in the world. These, however, are not meant, but those who are not in truths and goods and in the knowledges thereof; and by the "miserable" indeed, those who are not in truths because not in the knowledges of truths, and by the "poor" those who are not in goods because not in the knowledges of goods. As these two, truths and goods, are meant by these two expressions, the two in many places are mentioned together; as in the passages that now follow. In David:

I am miserable and poor, Lord, remember me (Psalms 40:17; 70:5). Incline thine ear, O Jehovah, answer me, for I am miserable and poor (Psalms 86:1).

The "miserable and poor" here mean evidently those who are miserable and poor, not in respect to worldly riches but in respect to spiritual riches, as David says this of himself; therefore he also said, "Jehovah, incline thine ear, and answer me."

[3] In the same:

The wicked draw out the sword and bend their bow, to cast down the miserable and poor (Psalms 37:14).

Here also "the miserable and poor" mean evidently those who are spiritually such and yet long for the knowledges of truth and good, for it is said that "the wicked draw out the sword and bend the bow," "sword" signifying falsity combating against truth and striving to destroy it, and "bow" the doctrine of falsity fighting against the doctrine of truth; therefore it is said that they do this "to cast down the miserable and poor." (That "sword" signifies truth combating against falsity, and in a contrary sense, falsity combating against truth, see above, n. 131; and that "bow" signifies doctrine in both senses, see Arcana Coelestia 2686, 2709)

[4] So in another place in the same:

The wicked man hath persecuted the miserable and poor and the broken in heart, to slay them (Psalms 109:16).

In Isaiah:

The fool speaketh folly, and his heart doeth iniquity to practice hypocrisy and to speak error against Jehovah, to make empty the hungry soul, and to make him who thirsteth for drink to want. He counseleth wicked devices to destroy the miserable by words of a lie, even when the poor speaketh judgment (Isaiah 32:6-7).

Here likewise "the miserable and poor" mean those who are destitute of the knowledges of truth and good; therefore it is said that "the wicked counseleth wicked devices to destroy the miserable by the words of a lie, even when the poor speaketh judgment;" "by the words of a lie" means by falsities, and "to speak judgment" is to speak what is right. Because such are treated of, it is also said that he "practices hypocrisy and speaketh error against Jehovah, to make empty the hungry soul and to make him who thirsteth for drink to want." "To practice hypocrisy and to speak error" is to do evil from falsity, and to speak falsity from evil; "to make empty the hungry soul" is to deprive those of the knowledges of good who long for them, and "to make him who thirsteth for drink to want" is to deprive those of the knowledges of truth who long for them.

In the same:

The miserable shall have joy in Jehovah, and the poor of men shall exult in the Holy One of Israel (Isaiah 29:19).

Here also "the miserable and poor" signify those who are in lack of truth and good and yet long for them; of these, and not of those who are miserable and poor in respect to worldly wealth, it is said that they "shall have joy in Jehovah, and shall exult in the Holy One of Israel."

[5] From this it can be seen what is signified by the "miserable and poor" in other passages of the Word, as in the following. In David:

The poor shall not always be forgotten; and the hope of the miserable shall not perish for ever (Psalms 9:18).

In the same:

God shall judge the miserable of the people, He shall save the sons of the poor. He shall deliver the poor when he crieth, and the miserable. He shall spare the weak and the poor, and the souls of the poor He shall save (Psalms 72:4, 12-13).

In the same:

The miserable shall see, they that seek Jehovah 1 shall be glad. For Jehovah heareth the poor (Psalms 69:32-33).

In the same:

Jehovah deliverest the miserable from him that is too strong for him, the poor from them that despoil him (Psalms 35:10).

In the same:

The miserable and the poor praise Thy name (Psalms 74:21; 109:22).

In the same:

I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the miserable, and the judgment of the poor (Psalms 140:12).

Also elsewhere (as Isaiah 10:2; Jeremiah 22:16; Ezekiel 16:49; 18:12; 22:29; Amos 8:4; Deuteronomy 15:11; 24:14). "The miserable" and "the poor" are both mentioned in these passages, because it is according to the style of the Word that where truth is spoken of, good is also spoken of; and in a contrary sense, where falsity is spoken of, evil is also spoken of, since they make a one, and as if it were a marriage; this is why "the miserable and the poor" are mentioned together; for, by "the miserable" those deficient in the knowledges of truth are meant, and by "the poor" those deficient in the knowledges of good. (That there is such a marriage almost everywhere in the prophetical parts of the Word, see Arcana Coelestia 683, 793, 801, 2516, 2712, 3004, 3005, 3009, 4138, 5138, 5194, 5502, 6343, 7022, 7945, 8339, 9263, 9314.)

For the same reason it is said in what follows, "and blind and naked;" for by "the blind" one who is in no understanding of truth is meant, and by "the naked" one who is in no understanding and will of good. So in the following verse, "I counsel thee to buy of Me gold tried by fire, and white garments that thou mayest be clothed;" for by "gold tried by fire" the good of love is meant, and by "white garments" the truths of faith. And further, "That the shame of thy nakedness be not manifest; and anoint thine eyes with eye-salve, that thou mayest see," which means, lest evils and falsities be seen. So also elsewhere. But that there is such a marriage in the particulars of the Word, none but those who know its internal sense can see.
