Printable Mode1 Samuel 15:21
|
15:21 dar poporul a luat din prada oi si boi, ca parga din ceea ce trebuia nimicit cu desavarsire, ca sa le jertfeasca Domnului, Dumnezeului tau, la Ghilgal. Parga din ceea ce trebuia nimicit cu desavarsire. Toata propozitia aceasta este din cuvantul ebraic cherem, ,,lucrurile consacrate”, ,,lucrurile dedicate”, ,,lucrurile blestemate” sau ,,lucrurile consacrate spre nimicire” (RSV). Cherem vine de la verbul charam, ,,a fi interzis folosirii comune”, ,,a consacra lui Dumnezeu”, ,,a extirpa”. Acan si-a insusit spre folosinta personala ,,lucrul blestemat” (cherem) (Iosua 7,1.11.13.15; comp. cu cap. 6,17.18), care cuprinde argint si aur (Iosua 7,21), pastrat pentru serviciul sanctuarului (Iosua 6,19). Faptul ca o persoana sau un lucru era ,,blestemat ,,sau consacrat” nu insemna in mod necesar ca el trebuia nimicit, ci numai ca, de el trebuia sa se dispuna in mod precis dupa instructiunile lui Dumnezeu. Spre deosebire de argint si aur, orice altceva din cetate trebuia sa fie cu desavarsire nimicit (Iosua 6,21),cu toate ca si ele fusesera ,,blestemate” sau pastrate ,,pentru Domnul” (Iosua 6,17). Acelasi cuvant ebraic cherem este folosit si ca daruri ,,consacrate” folosirii sacre (vezi Levitic 27,21.28.29; Numeri 18,14 etc.). Declaratia lui Saul cu privire la ,,lucrurile care ar fi trebuit nimicite cu desavarsire” sau in mod literal ,,lucrurile devotate” primeste un inteles nou in lumina folosirii de catre Biblie a cuvantului ebraic tradus astfel. Samuel instruise pe Saul sa ,,nimiceasca cu desavarsire [charam] pe amaleciti si toate bunurile lor ucigandu-i. Ei nu era numai ,,dedicati”, ei erau ,,dedicati nimicirii”. Dupa cat s-ar parea, Saul a crezut ca era privilegiul lui de a hotari cum trebuia adusa la indeplinire porunca divina. Fara indoiala ca Saul a spus adevarul atunci cand a zis ca ,,poporul” a dorit sa crute ce era mai bun din turme si cirezi. Lor nu le era ingaduit sa ia turmele si cirezile de la amaleciti pentru ei insisi. Dar puteau sa se imbogateasca prin inlocuirea animalelor de la amaleciti cu acelea ale lor, care altfel ar fi fost cerute spre a fi folosite ca jertfe (PP 629). Saul a aprobat pur si simplu sugestia ce i s-a facut, asumandu-si in felul acesta dreptul de a interpreta porunca lui Dumnezeu cum vedea el ca este potrivit. In ceea ce-l privea, el nu era interesat de vite. Fara indoiala ca din acestea el avea destule ca sadea si altora. Dar, daca avea sa se intoarca cu un imparat invins – pastrandu-l, dupa obiceiul vremii – el avea sa fie in masura sa prezinte inaintea intregului Israel dovada palpabila a ispravii lui de vitejie si avea sa-si sporeasca in mare masura prestigiul. Fara indoiala ca Saul a avut in plan o executare publica a lui Agag dupa prezentarea lui ca un exponat al priceperii lui ca luptator. Dar, instruit de Dumnezeul, Samuel a lipsit pe Saul de planuita demonstratie ,aducand el insusi la indeplinire executia. Probabil ca Saul a gandit ca avea sa asculte de porunca lui Dumnezeu cu privire la vite si la imparat si, in acelasi timp, sa mareasca bogatia supusilor sai si propriul sau renume. El avea sa implineasca porunca lui Dumnezeu pe calea propriei lui alegeri. Pana la urma, atat imparatul cat si animalele aveau sa fie omorate, dar pana atunci el si poporul sau aveau sa profite de ele. In aceasta consta slabiciunea de caracter a lui Saul. Desi pretindea ca slujeste lui Dumnezeu, el slujea in realitate si in primul rand propriilor lui interese, iar la urma celor ale lui Dumnezeu. Chiar pentru motivul acesta este clar ca, trimitand pe Saul impotriva amalecitilor cu porunca de ,,a-i consacra” pe ei si toate bunurile lor, Dumnezeu a specificat mijloacele prin care ei sa fie consacrati”, si anume, moartea. Saul a dat gres in aceasta importanta si finala punere la proba a caracterului. Chiar Samuel, care petrecuse noaptea in rugaciune catre Dumnezeu in favoarea lui Saul ca sentinta de lepadare sa se schimbe (PP 630), a fost cuprins de indignare cand a vazut dovada razvratirii lui Saul (PP 631). Pentru ca Saul Il lepadase pe Domnul, Cerul l-a parasit lasandu-l pe calea propriei lui alegeri, iar Samuel ,,nu s-a mai dus sa vada pe Saul pana in ziua mortii sale” (v. 35). Saul s-a descalificat complet ca imparat supunandu-se dorintelor poporului, punand asupra lor vina propriei lui hotarari rele si incercand sa-si asume onoarea care apartinea de fapt lui Dumnezeu. La Ghilgal.. Desi nu era resedinta lui Saul, se pare ca Ghilgal a fost, in unele privinte, capitala in functie a monarhiei ebraice. Ea reprezenta asezarea primului cantonament al lui Israel dupa trecerea Iordanului (Iosua 4,19) si cartierul general pentru cucerirea Canaanului (Iosua 10,15 etc.). Aici a fost locul unde s-a adus la indeplinire impartirea tarii (Iosua 14,6 la 17,18). Cand cucerirea de la inceput a tarii a fost incheiata, cam dupa sase sau sapte ani de la trecerea Iordanului, chivotul a fost mutat de la Ghilgal la Silo (Iosua 18). Pe acea vreme, Iosua isi avea resedinta la ,,Timnat-Serah in muntele lui Efraim” (Iosua 19,49.50). La Silo, serviciul sanctuarului a fost intrerupt cand chivotul a fost luat de filisteni (1 Samuel 4,11; Psalmul 78,60; PP 609), iar cetatea nimicita (vezi Ieremia 26,6.9). Mai tarziu, chivotul a fost dus inapoi, mai intai la Bet-Semes (1 Samuel 6,7-15) si apoi la Chiriat-Iearim (cap. 7,1), unde a ramas pana ce David l-a mutat la Ierusalim (2 Samuel 6,2-12; comp. cu Iosua 15,9.60). In felul acesta inchinarea la Dumnezeu a fost intr-un sens descentralizata, cu toate ca Samuel aducea jertfe in diferite locuri (PP 609), probabil inclusiv la Ghilgal (1 Samuel 7,16). Ghilgal a fost locul unde a adunat Samuel pe Israel ca sa confirme pe Saul ca imparat dupa biruinta acestuia de la Iabes din Galaad (1 Samuel 11,14.15). Tot aici au fost stransi luptatori pentru atacul asupra filistenilor din garnizoana de la Micmas (1 Samuel 13,4). Se poate ca cetatea aceasta sa fi fost si baza pentru campania impotriva amalecitilor, asa cum se lasa sa se inteleaga din propunerea lui Saul de a se intoarce acolo pentru a aduce jertfe lui Dumnezeu. |

Special note for ANDROID SmartPhones
I recommend to download PhoneMe emulator for Android from here.
Especially I recommend phoneME Advanced - Foundation Profile + MIDP High Resolution b168 rev20547 from here, or from here.
Then you have to build your application, to transfer the .jar and .jad files on your mobile phone and run using this nice emulator.
1. Install a Zip Utility from Android Market.
2. Install a File Manager from Android Market.
3. Download and install PhoneMe, as mentioned above.
4. Build your application by using Download Multilingual Service or Dynamic Download (zip).
5. Copy the zip file into your Android Phone and unzip the content in a folder, and then write down the path to the unzipped files and the name of the .jad file.
6. Launch PhoneMe from your smartphone.
7. Inside PhoneMe, write to the main window the path and the name to the .jad file, above mentioned. Will look something like: file:///mnt/sd/download/BiblePhone.jad and then press enter.
8. The application will be installed, and next a hyperlink will be available below the above mentioned textbox. On this way you can install as many of MIDP application you like on your Android Phone.
How to install the application in Java Mobile enabled phones
It is possible now to have the Holy Scriptures on your mobile phone and to read
it wherever you are due to the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP)
technology in 1.0 and 2.0 versions, developed for Java applications.
A good advice is to try in the beginning the MIDP 1.0 / 128 Kbytes version, and
progressively to advance to MIDP 2.0 and larger volumes (512 Kbytes or more).
The application is available for MIDP 2.0, MIDP 1.0. You have only to select one
table on the field MIDP2.0 or MIDP1.0, according to the desired Bible version.
Then, you shall make a click on the JAR (Java Archive) file in order to obtain
the software to be installed on your mobile phone.
I recommend you to start with STARTER(MIDP1.0old) edition, then to continue with
INTERMEDIATE(MIDP1.0), and in the end, if the mobile phone supports this thing,
to try to install the ADVANCED (MIDP2.0) edition. Also, start with 128 kbytes
volumes, continue with 512 kbytes, and at the end try the version in one file.
There are cases where the mobile phone requires so called JAD (Java Descriptor)
files. These JAD files has to be
uploaded, on this case, together with the desired JAR files(s).
There are different methods to download the applications in your mobile phone as
follows:
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
5. If none from the above cases are valid
Next, we shall examine each case in order to have a successfully installation of
the software.
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
If your have Internet access on your mobile phone (e.g. WAP or GPRS), it is
enough to access
https://biblephone.intercer.net/wap/ from the browser of the mobile phone,
and to access the desired Bible version, and then to make an option about
MIDP1.0 or MIDP2.0, and finally to select the desired module (e.g. one or more).
After the last selection, the desired version will be downloaded on your mobile
phone.
Many phones have only this option for installing JAVA appplications.
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
If you don't have access to Internet directly from your mobile phone, then you
shall have to pass to this step requiring to have infrared ports on your mobile
phone and on the computer.
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to activate the infrared port on the mobile phone and align it with the infrared
port of the computer (preferable laptop).
c. Then a window will appear asking what file you want to send to the mobile
phone. Next, you will select the downloaded JAR file, and after OK, the mobile
phone will ask you if you want to load that file. You say YES and the
application will be downloaded on your mobile phone.
d. Probably, you will be asked by the mobile phone where you want to save it (e.g.
on the games or applications directories). After you made this selection, the
file will be ready to be loaded for run.
The displaying preference can be set inside the application in order to have
larger fonts, full screen display etc.
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
This situation is similar with the infrared case. You have only to activate
Bluetooth access on your mobile phone (check if exists) and on the computer (check
if exists).
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific
mobile phones.
On this case the steps are as follows:
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to set up the wired connection between the mobile phone and the computer. Next,
you will start the synchronization / data transfer application and download the
JAR file in your mobile phone. Surely, you will have to consult the CD of your
mobile phone.
c. By this application you shall transfer into your mobile phone the JAR file in
the games or applications directories. Next, you will have to select for run the
JAR desired file.
5. If none from the above cases are valid
On this unhappy case, I recommend you to find a friend with a laptop having
infrared / Bluetooth capabilities, or to buy a data link cable, or to change
your current model of mobile phone.
Unfortunately, some models of mobile phones require only WAP/GPRS in order to
download and run Java applications.
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones. Therefore check the documentation of them and also the page for specific
models.
Why so many versions? Simple, because not all the mobile phones support the
Bible in one file with MIDP 2.0 (the most advanced for the time being).
