Exodus 34

Проучване

   

1 Toen zeide de HEERE tot Mozes: Houw u twee stenen tafelen, gelijk de eerste waren, zo zal Ik op de tafelen schrijven dezelfde woorden, die op de eerste tafelen geweest zijn, die gij gebroken hebt.

2 En wees bereid tegen den morgenstond; dat gij in den morgenstond op den berg Sinai klimt, en stel u aldaar voor Mij, op den top des bergs.

3 En niemand zal met u opklimmen; dat er ook niemand gezien worde op den gansen berg; ook het kleine vee, noch runderen zullen tegenover dezen berg niet weiden.

4 Toen hieuw hij twee stenen tafelen, gelijk de eerste; en Mozes stond des morgens vroeg op, en klom op den berg Sinai, gelijk als hem de HEERE geboden had; en hij nam de twee stenen tafelen in zijn hand.

5 De HEERE nu kwam nederwaarts in een wolk, en stelde Zich aldaar bij hem; en Hij riep uit den Naam des HEEREN.

6 Als nu de HEERE voor zijn aangezicht voorbijging, zo riep Hij: HEERE, HEERE, God, barmhartig en genadig, lankmoedig en groot van weldadigheid en waarheid.

7 Die de weldadigheid bewaart aan vele duizenden, Die de ongerechtigheid, en overtreding, en zonde vergeeft; Die den schuldige geenszins onschuldig houdt, bezoekende de ongerechtigheid der vaderen aan de kinderen, en aan de kindskinderen, in het derde en vierde lid.

8 Mozes nu haastte zich en neigde het hoofd ter aarde, en hij boog zich.

9 En hij zeide: Heere! indien ik nu genade gevonden heb in Uw ogen, zo ga nu de Heere in het midden van ons, want dit is een hardnekkig volk; doch vergeef onze ongerechtigheid en onze zonde, en neem ons aan tot een erfdeel!

10 Toen zeide Hij: Zie, Ik maak een verbond; voor uw ganse volk zal Ik wonderen doen, die niet geschapen zijn op de ganse aarde, noch onder enige volken; alzo dat dit ganse volk, in welks midden gij zijt, des HEEREN werk zien zal, dat het schrikkelijk is, hetwelk Ik met u doe.

11 Onderhoudt gij hetgeen Ik u heden gebiede! zie, Ik zal voor uw aangezicht uitdrijven de Amorieten, en de Kanaanieten, en de Hethieten, en de Ferezieten, en de Hevieten, en de Jebusieten.

12 Wacht u, dat gij toch geen verbond maakt met den inwoners des lands, waarin gij komen zult; dat hij misschien niet tot een strik worde in het midden van u.

13 Maar hun altaren zult gijlieden omwerpen, en hun opgerichte beelden zult gij verbreken, en hun bossen zult gij afhouwen.

14 (Want gij zult u niet buigen voor een anderen god; want des HEEREN Naam is Ijveraar! een ijverig God is Hij!)

15 Opdat gij misschien geen verbond maakt met den inwoner van dat land; en zij hun goden niet nahoereren, noch hun goden offerande doen, en hij u nodigende, gij van hun offerande etet.

16 En gij voor uw zonen vrouwen neemt van hun dochteren; en hun dochteren, haar goden nahoererende, maken, dat ook uw zonen haar goden nahoereren.

17 Gij zult u geen gegoten goden maken.

18 Het feest der ongezuurde broden zult gij houden; zeven dagen zult gij ongezuurde broden eten, gelijk Ik u geboden heb, ter gezetter tijd der maand Abib; want in de maand Abib zijt gij uit Egypte uitgegaan.

19 Al wat de baarmoeder opent, is Mijn; ja, al uw vee, dat mannelijk zal geboren worden, openende de baarmoeder van het grote en kleine vee.

20 Doch den ezel, die de baarmoeder opent, zult gij met een stuk klein vee lossen; maar indien gij hem niet zult lossen, zo zult gij hem den nek breken. Al de eerstgeborenen uwer zonen zult gij lossen, en men zal voor Mijn aangezicht niet ledig verschijnen.

21 Zes dagen zult gij arbeiden, maar op den zevenden dag zult gij rusten; in den ploegtijd en in den oogst zult gij rusten.

22 Het feest der weken zult gij ook houden, zijnde het feest der eerstelingen van den tarweoogst, en het feest der inzameling, als het jaar om is.

23 Al wat mannelijk is onder u zal driemaal in het jaar verschijnen voor het aangezicht des Heeren Heeren, den God van Israel.

24 Wanneer Ik de volken voor uw aangezicht uit de bezitting zal verdrijven, en uw landpalen verwijden, dan zal niemand uw land begeren, terwijl gij henen opgaan zult, om te verschijnen voor het aangezicht des HEEREN uws Gods, driemaal in het jaar.

25 Gij zult het bloed van Mijn slachtoffer niet offeren met gedesemd brood; het slachtoffer van het paasfeest zal ook niet vernachten tot den morgen.

26 De eerstelingen van de eerste vruchten uws lands zult gij in het huis des HEEREN uws Gods brengen. Gij zult het bokje in de melk zijner moeder niet koken.

27 Verder zeide de HEERE tot Mozes: Schrijf u deze woorden; want naar luid dezer woorden heb Ik een verbond met u en met Israel gemaakt.

28 En hij was aldaar met den HEERE, veertig dagen en veertig nachten; hij at geen brood, en hij dronk geen water; en Hij schreef op de tafelen de woorden des verbonds, de tien woorden.

29 En het geschiedde, toen Mozes van den berg Sinai afging (de twee tafelen der getuigenis nu waren in de hand van Mozes, als hij van den berg afging), zo wist Mozes niet, dat het vel zijns aangezichts glinsterde, toen Hij met hem sprak.

30 Als nu Aaron en al de kinderen Israels Mozes aanzagen, ziet, zo glinsterde het vel zijns aangezichts; daarom vreesden zij tot hem toe te treden.

31 Toen riep Mozes hen; en Aaron, en al de oversten in de vergadering keerden weder tot hem; en Mozes sprak tot hen.

32 En daarna traden al de kinderen Israels toe; en hij gebood hun al wat de HEERE met hem gesproken had op den berg Sinai.

33 Alzo eindigde Mozes met hen te spreken, en hij had een deksel op zijn aangezicht gelegd.

34 Doch als Mozes voor het aangezicht des HEEREN kwam, om met Hem te spreken, zo nam hij het deksel af, totdat hij uitging; en nadat hij uitgegaan was, zo sprak hij tot de kinderen Israels, wat hem geboden was.

35 Zo zagen dan de kinderen Israels het aangezicht van Mozes, dat het vel van het aangezicht van Mozes glinsterde; derhalve deed Mozes het deksel weder op zijn aangezicht, totdat hij inging om met Hem te spreken.

10634. 'Which have not been created in all the earth nor in all nations' means that never before has a Divine Word such as this been present in the world, either where the Church exists or where it does not exist. This is clear from the meaning of 'marvellous things' as the Divine things present in the Word, dealt with immediately above in 10633, which are referred to as 'created' ones when they are Divine from inmost to outermost levels or first to last; from the meaning of 'in all the earth' as wherever the Church exists, for 'the earth' in the Word means the Church, see in the places referred to in 9325; and from the meaning of 'in all nations' as where the Church does not exist, for 'nations' in the Word means those who are outside the Church, because they do not dwell in the light of truth derived from the Word.

[2] The reason why it says that Jehovah is about to do marvels 'which have not been created in all the earth' is that 'creation' means that which is Divine from inmost to outermost levels or first to last. For everything that comes from the Divine begins in Him and continues in accord with true order right through to the lowest and final level. That is, it passes through the heavens right on into the world, which serves as the lowest level, the level on which it comes to rest; for the natural world constitutes the lowest level of Divine order. That which has origins such as these is what the word 'created' is used to refer to. Every created thing in the world is both brought into being and kept in being in accord with that true order; and also the member of the Church who has been regenerated by the Lord by means of truths from the Word is fashioned in accord with it. All this explains why in the Word the Lord is referred to as the Creator, while the person who has been regenerated is referred to as one created anew, see 10373, 10545. The Word too is fashioned in accord with that true order, and since the nature of it is such the word 'created' is used in reference to its marvels.

[3] The same words - 'Before all your people I will do marvels which have not been created in all the earth nor in all nations' - mean in the historical sense that Jehovah was about to perform miracles among the Israelite people which were unheard of in all the earth. In the internal sense however not miracles should be understood but marvels which the Lord was about to do, in that He was about to provide a Word which would be such that by means of it heaven would be joined to the Church, and, to take a universal view, the Lord would be joined to the human race. The idea that the Word is a marvel such as this is unintelligible to those who know nothing at all about the correspondence of natural things with spiritual ones. And people who know nothing at all about the spiritual level on which angels think are also unaware of the inner presence of anything within all the details of the Word, which hold heaven and so Divine life within them. But in fact through correspondence angels perceive every single expression in the Word on a spiritual level when people in the world do so on a natural level. This and nothing else is what makes the Word Divine, so marvellous that there is nothing more marvellous.

2813. 'He bound Isaac his son' means the state of the Divine rational which, in this condition as regards truth, was about to undergo the last degrees of temptation. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'binding', and also of 'Isaac his son' - of 'binding' as the assuming of a state for undergoing the last degrees of temptation, as may become clear from the consideration that anyone in a state of temptation is altogether like one who has been bound or fettered; and from the meaning of 'Isaac his son' as the Lord's Divine Rational, here as regards truth, see 2802, 2803. The whole genuine rational part of the mind consists of good and of truth. The Lord's Divine Rational as regards good could not suffer, nor undergo temptations, for no genius or spirit initiating temptations is able to get near Divine good, as this stands above their every endeavour to tempt. But Divine truth once it had been bound was that which could be tempted, for illusions, and still more falsities, are what invade it and so tempt it. Indeed some idea of Divine truth can be formed, but not of Divine good except by beings who have perception and are celestial angels. It was Divine truth that people no longer acknowledged at the time of the Lord's Coming into the world, and therefore it was Divine truth from which the Lord underwent and suffered temptations. Divine truth within the Lord is that which is called the Son of Man, whereas Divine good within Him is that which is called the Son of God. Speaking of the Son of Man the Lord many times says that He is to suffer, but He never says this when He refers to the Son of God. The fact that He speaks of the Son of Man, or Divine truth, having to suffer, is clear in Matthew,

Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn Him and deliver Him to the gentiles to mock and scourge Him, and to crucify [Him]. Matthew 20:18-19.

In the same gospel,

Jesus said to His disciples, Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of sinners. Matthew 26:45.

In Mark,

Jesus began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, but after three days rise again. Mark 8:31.

In the same gospel,

It is written of the Son of Man that He will suffer many things and be treated with contempt. And the Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men who will kill Him; but when He has been killed He will rise again on the third day. Mark 9:12, 31.

In the same gospel,

Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes who will condemn Him to death, and deliver Him to the heathens. They will mock Him, and scourge Him, and spit on Him, and kill Him; but on the third day He will rise again. Mark 10:33-34.

In the same gospel,

The hour has come; behold, the Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of sinners. Mark 14:41.

In Luke,

The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day rise again. Luke 9:22, 44.

In the same gospel,

We are going up to Jerusalem where everything will be accomplished that has been written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man. He will be delivered to the gentiles, and will be mocked, and suffer insults, and be spat upon. And they will scourge and kill Him, but on the third day He will rise again. Luke 18:31-33.

In the same gospel,

The angel said to the women, Remember what He told you while He was still in Galilee, saving that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again. Luke 24:6-7.

[2] In all these places 'the Son of Man' is used to mean the Lord as regards Divine truth - that is, as regards the Word in its internal sense - which was to be rejected by the chief priests and the scribes, suffer insults, be scourged, spat on, and crucified. This is made quite clear by the fact that the Jews took every single thing literally, applying and misappropriating it to themselves, and had no wish to know anything whatever about the spiritual sense of the Word and about a heavenly kingdom. They believed, as they do even today, that when He came the Messiah would raise up their kingdom above all the kingdoms of the earth. From this it is evident that it was Divine truth which was rejected, insulted, scourged, and crucified by them. Whether you speak of Divine truth or of the Lord as regards Divine truth it amounts to the same, for the Lord is Truth itself just as He is the Word itself, 2011, 2016, 2533 (end).

[3] Also implied in the Lord's rising again on the third day is the fact that Divine truth, or the Word as to its internal sense - as it was understood in the Ancient Church - will be brought back to life again at the close of the age, which also is 'the third day', 1825, 2788. And this is the reason why it is said that the Son of Man, that is, Divine truth, will appear at that time, Matthew 24:30, 37, 39, 44; Mark 13:26; Luke 17:22, 24-26, 30; 21:27, 36.

[4] The fact that the Son of Man is the Lord as regards Divine truth is clear from the places quoted already and further still from the following: In Matthew,

He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man; the field is the world. At the close of the age the Son of Man will send His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all offences. Matthew 13:37, 41-42.

Here 'the good seed' means truth, 'the world' men, 'he who sows it' the Son of Man, and 'offences' falsities. In John,

The crowd said, We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains for ever. Why therefore do you say, The Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man? Jesus answered them, The Light is with you for a brief while. Walk, as long as you have the Light, lest the darkness overtakes you, for he who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. As long as you have the Light believe in the Light, that you may be sons of the Light. John 12:34-36.

Here, when the crowd ask, 'Who is the Son of Man?' Jesus speaks in His reply about the Light, which is truth, and says that He Himself is the Light or Truth in which they ought to believe. Regarding the Light which comes from the Lord, and which is Divine Truth, see 1053, 1521, 1529-1531, 1619-1632.

[5] But as for the truth that the Son of God, or the Lord as to the Good within His Divine human, could not be tempted, as stated above, this is evident also from the Lord's reply to the tempter, in the gospels,

The tempter said, If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down, for it is written, He will give His angels charge regarding you, lest you strike your foot against a stone. Jesus said to him, Again it is written, You shall not tempt the Lord your God. Matthew 4:6-7; Luke 4:9-12.
