6362.创世记49:8-12.犹大啊，你弟兄们必赞美你；你手必掐在仇敌的颈项上；你父亲的儿子们必向你下拜。犹大是个狮子的幼崽；我儿啊，你捕获了猎物便上去。他蹲伏，卧如狮子，又如老狮，谁敢惹他？权杖必不离犹大，立法者必不离他两脚之间，直等细罗来到，万民都必归顺他。犹大把小驴拴在葡萄树上，把母驴的崽子拴在上好的葡萄树上。他在葡萄酒中洗了衣服，在血红葡萄汁中洗了袍褂。他的眼睛必因酒红润；他的牙齿必因奶白亮。

6362. Verses 8-12. Thou Judah, thy brethren shall celebrate thee, thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies, thy father's sons shall bow down to thee. Judah is a lion's whelp; from the prey my son thou art gone up; he bowed, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? The scepter shall not be removed from Judah, and a lawgiver from between his feet, even until Shiloh come; and to him is the obedience of the peoples. He binds his young ass unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washes his clothing in wine, and his covering in the blood of grapes; his eyes are red with wine, and his teeth are white with milk. "Thou Judah," signifies the celestial church, in the supreme sense the Lord as to the Divine celestial; "thy brethren shall celebrate thee," signifies that this church is eminent above the rest; "thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies," signifies that the infernal and diabolical crew will flee at his presence; "thy father's sons shall bow down to thee," signifies that truths will submit themselves of their own accord; "Judah is a lion's whelp," signifies innocence with innate forces; "from the prey my son thou art gone up," signifies that from the Lord through the celestial there is deliverance of many from hell; "he bowed, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion," signifies the good of love and the derivative truth in their power; "who shall rouse him up?" signifies that he is safe among all in the hells; "the scepter shall not be removed from Judah," signifies that sovereignty shall not depart from celestial good; "and a lawgiver from between his feet," signifies truths from this good in lower things; "until Shiloh come," signifies the coming of the Lord, and the tranquillity of peace then; "and to him is the obedience of the peoples," signifies that from His Divine Human shall proceed truths; "he binds his young ass unto the vine," signifies truth in the natural for the external church; "and his ass's colt unto the choice vine," signifies truth from the rational for the internal church; "he washes his clothing in wine," signifies that His natural is Divine truth from His Divine good; "and his covering in the blood of grapes," signifies that His intellectual is Divine good from His Divine love; "his eyes are red with wine," signifies that the intellectual, or internal Human, is nothing but good; "and his teeth are white with milk," signifies that the Divine natural is nothing but the good of truth.

6362. Verses 8-12 Judah are you, your brothers will praise you; your hand will be on the neck of your enemies. Your father's sons will bow down to you. A lion's cub is Judah; from the plunder you have gone up, my son. He crouched, he lay down like a lion, and like an old lion; who will rouse him? The sceptre will not be removed from Judah, or a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes; and to him will be the obedience of the peoples. He binds his young ass to the vine, and the foal of his she-ass to the outstanding vine; he washes his clothing in wine, and his garment in the blood of grapes. His eyes are red from wine, and his teeth white from milk.

'Who will rouse him?' means that he is safe when among all those in the hells. 'The sceptre will not be removed from Judah' means that power and control will not depart from the celestial kingdom. 'Or a lawgiver from between his feet' means truths from that kingdom in lower things. 'Until Shiloh comes' means the Lord's Coming, and the peaceful tranquillity at that time. 'And to him will be the obedience of the peoples' means that from His Divine Human truths would go forth that were able to be received.a 'He binds his young ass to the vine' means truth in the natural for the external Church. 'And the foal of his she-ass to the outstanding vine' means truth from the rational for the internal Church. 'He washes his clothing in wine' means that His Natural consists in Divine Truth from His Divine Good. 'And his garment in the blood of grapes' means that His Intellect consists in Divine Good from His Divine Love.

6362. Vers. 8-12. Jehudah tu, celebrabunt te fratres tui, manus tua in cervice hostium tuorum; incurvabunt se tibi filii patris tui. Catulus leonis Jehudah, a praeda, fili mi, ascendisti; curvavit se, cubuit sicut leo, et sicut leo vetulus, quis suscitabit eum? Non removebitur sceptrum (c)a Jehudah, et legislator ab inter pedes ejus, usque dum venit Shiloh, et ei oboedientia populorum. Alligat ad vitem asellum suum, et ad vitem praestantem filium asinae suae, lavat in vino vestimentum suum, et in sanguine uvarum velamen suum.
