AC.576, 창6:3, '여호와께서 이르시되 나의 영이' (AC.572-579)

3절, 여호와께서 이르시되 나의 영이 영원히 사람과 함께 하지 아니하리니 이는 그들이 육신이 됨이라 그러나 그들의 날은 백이십 년이 되리라 하시니라 And Jehovah said, My spirit shall not reprove man forever, for that he is flesh; and his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.

 

576

That the number “ten,” and also “tenths,” signify remains, is evident from the following passages of the Word:

 

9만군의 여호와께서 내 귀에 말씀하시되 정녕히 허다한 가옥이 황폐하리니 크고 아름다울지라도 거주할 자가 없을 것이며 10열흘 갈이 포도원에 겨우 포도주 한 바트가 나겠고 한 호멜의 종자를 뿌려도 간신히 한 에바가 나리라 하시도다 (사5:9-10) Many houses shall be a desolation, great and fair, without an inhabitant; for ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of a homer shall yield an ephah, (Isa. 5:9–10)

 

speaking of the vastation of things spiritual and celestial: “ten acres of vineyard making a bath” signifies that the remains of things spiritual were so few; and “the seed of a homer yielding an ephah” signifies that there were so few remains of things celestial. In the same:

 

12여호와께서 사람들을 멀리 옮기셔서 이 땅 가운데에 황폐한 곳이 많을 때까지니라 13그 중에 십분의 일이 아직 남아 있을지라도 이것도 황폐하게 될 것이나 밤나무와 상수리나무가 베임을 당하여도 그 그루터기는 남아 있는 것 같이 거룩한 씨가 이 땅의 그루터기니라 하시더라 (사6:12-13) And many things are forsaken in the midst of the land, yet in it shall be a tenth part, and it shall return, and nevertheless it shall be consumed; (Isa. 6:12–13)

 

where the “midst of the land” signifies the internal man; a “tenth part” signifies the smallness of the remains. In Ezekiel:

 

10너희는 공정한 저울과 공정한 에바와 공정한 밧을 쓸지니 11에바와 밧은 그 용량을 동일하게 하되 호멜의 용량을 따라 밧은 십분의 일 호멜을 담게 하고 에바도 십분의 일 호멜을 담게 할 것이며, 14기름은 정한 규례대로 한 고르에서 십분의 일 밧을 드릴지니 기름의 밧으로 말하면 한 고르는 십 밧 곧 한 호멜이며 (십 밧은 한 호멜이라) (겔45:10-11, 14) Ye shall have balances of justice, and an ephah of justice, and a bath of justice: the ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, the bath to contain the tenth of a homer, and an ephah the tenth of a homer; the measure thereof shall be after the homer; and the ordinance of oil, a bath of oil, the tenth of a bath out of a kor, ten baths to the homer, for ten baths are a homer; (Ezek. 45:10–11, 14)

 

in this passage the holy things of Jehovah are treated of by measures, whereby are signified the kinds of the holy things; by “ten” are here signified the remains of celestial and of the derivative spiritual things; for unless such holy arcana were contained herein, what could be the use or intent of describing so many measures determined by numbers, as is done in this and the former chapters in the same prophet, where the subject is the heavenly Jerusalem and the new temple?

 

[2] In Amos:

 

2처녀 이스라엘이 엎드러졌음이여 다시 일어나지 못하리로다 자기 땅에 던지움이여 일으킬 자 없으리로다 3주 여호와께서 이와 같이 말씀하시되 이스라엘 중에서 천 명이 행군해 나가던 성읍에는 백 명만 남고 백 명이 행군해 나가던 성읍에는 열 명만 남으리라 하셨느니라 (암5:2-3) The virgin Israel is fallen, she shall no more rise. Thus saith the Lord Jehovih, The city that went out a thousand shall have a hundred remaining, and that which went out a hundred, shall have ten remaining to the house of Israel, (Amos 5:2–3)

 

where, speaking of remains, it is said that very little would be left, being only a “tenth part,” or remains of remains. Again:

 

8만군의 하나님 여호와의 말씀이니라 주 여호와가 당신을 두고 맹세하셨노라 내가 야곱의 영광을 싫어하며 그 궁궐들을 미워하므로 이 성읍과 거기에 가득한 것을 원수에게 넘기리라 하셨느니라 9한 집에 열 사람이 남는다 하여도 다 죽을 것이라 (암6:8-9) I abhor the pride of Jacob and his palaces, and will shut up the city, and its fullness, and it shall come to pass if there shall be left ten men in one house they shall even die, (Amos 6:8–9)

 

speaking of remains which should scarcely remain. In Moses:

 

암몬 사람과 모압 사람은 여호와의 총회에 들어오지 못하리니 그들에게 속한 자는 십 대뿐 아니라 영원히 여호와의 총회에 들어오지 못하리라 (신23:3) An Ammonite or Moabite shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah, even the tenth generation of them shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah to eternity; (Deut. 23:3)

 

“an Ammonite and a Moabite” signify the profanation of the celestial and spiritual things of faith, the “remains” of which are spoken of in what precedes.

 

[3] Hence it appears also that “tenths” represent remains. And so in Malachi:

 

만군의 여호와가 이르노라 너희의 온전한 십일조를 창고에 들여 나의 집에 양식이 있게 하고 그것으로 나를 시험하여 내가 하늘 문을 열고 너희에게 복을 쌓을 곳이 없도록 붓지 아니하나 보라 (말3:10) Bring ye all the tithes [tenths] into the treasure house, that there may be booty in my house, and let them prove me, bestir ye in this, if I will not open for you the cataracts of heaven, and pour you out a blessing; (Mal. 3:10)

 

“that there may be booty in my house” signifies remains in the internal man, which are compared to “booty,” because they are insinuated as by stealth among so many evils and falsities; and it is by these remains that all blessing comes. That all man’s charity comes by the remains which are in the internal man, was also represented in the Jewish church by this statute: that when they had made an end of tithing all the tithes, they should give to the Levite, to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow. (Deut. 26:12 seq.).

 

셋째 해 곧 십일조를 드리는 해에 네 모든 소산의 십일조 내기를 마친 후에 그것을 레위인과 객과 고아와 과부에게 주어 네 성읍 안에서 먹고 배부르게 하라 (신26:12)

 

[4] Inasmuch as remains are of the Lord alone, therefore the tenths are called “holiness to Jehovah”; as in Moses:

 

30그리고 그 땅의 십분의 일 곧 그 땅의 곡식이나 나무의 열매는 그 십분의 일은 여호와의 것이니 여호와의 성물이라 31또 만일 어떤 사람이 그의 십일조를 무르려면 그것에 오분의 일을 더할 것이요 (레27:30-31) All the tenths of the land, of the seed of the land, of the fruit of the tree, they are Jehovah’s, holiness to Jehovah: all the tenths of the herd and of the flock, whatsoever passeth under the shepherd’s rod, the tenth shall be holiness to Jehovah. (Lev. 27:30–31)

 

That the Decalogue consisted of “ten” precepts, or “ten” words, and that Jehovah wrote them on tables (Deut. 10:4), signifies remains, and their being written by the hand of Jehovah signifies that remains are of the Lord alone; their being in the internal man was represented by the tables.

 

여호와께서 그 총회 날에 산 위 불 가운데에서 너희에게 이르신 십계명을 처음과 같이 그 판에 쓰시고 그것을 내게 주시기로 (신10:4)
