خروج 34

Studie

   

1 ثم قال الرب لموسى انحت لك لوحين من حجر مثل الاولين. فأكتب انا على اللوحين الكلمات التي كانت على اللوحين الاولين الذين كسرتهما.

2 وكن مستعدا للصباح. واصعد في الصباح الى جبل سيناء وقف عندي هناك على راس الجبل.

3 ولا يصعد احد معك وايضا لا ير احد في كل الجبل. الغنم ايضا والبقر لا ترع الى جهة ذلك الجبل.

4 فنحت لوحين من حجر كالاولين. وبكر موسى في الصباح وصعد الى جبل سيناء كما امره الرب. واخذ في يده لوحي الحجر.

5 فنزل الرب في السحاب. فوقف عنده هناك ونادى باسم الرب.

6 فاجتاز الرب قدامه ونادى الرب الرب اله رحيم ورؤوف بطيء الغضب وكثير الاحسان والوفاء.

7 حافظ الاحسان الى الوف. غافر الاثم والمعصية والخطية. ولكنه لن يبرئ ابراء مفتقد اثم الآباء في الابناء وفي ابناء الابناء في الجيل الثالث والرابع.

8 فاسرع موسى وخرّ الى الارض وسجد.

9 وقال ان وجدت نعمة في عينيك ايها السيد فليسر السيد في وسطنا. فانه شعب صلب الرقبة. واغفر اثمنا وخطيتنا واتخذنا ملكا.

10 فقال ها انا قاطع عهدا قدام جميع شعبك افعل عجائب لم تخلق في كل الارض وفي جميع الامم. فيرى جميع الشعب الذي انت في وسطه فعل الرب. ان الذي انا فاعله معك رهيب

11 احفظ ما انا موصيك اليوم. ها انا طارد من قدامك الاموريين والكنعانيين والحثّيين والفرزّيين والحوّيين واليبوسيين.

12 احترز من ان تقطع عهدا مع سكان الارض التي انت آت اليها لئلا يصيروا فخا في وسطك.

13 بل تهدمون مذابحهم وتكسّرون انصابهم وتقطعون سواريهم.

14 فانك لا تسجد لاله آخر لان الرب اسمه غيور. اله غيور هو.

15 احترز من ان تقطع عهدا مع سكان الارض. فيزنون وراء آلهتهم ويذبحون لآلهتهم فتدعى وتأكل من ذبيحتهم.

16 وتأخذ من بناتهم لبنيك. فتزني بناتهم وراء آلهتهنّ ويجعلن بنيك يزنون وراء آلهتهنّ

17 لا تصنع لنفسك آلهة مسبوكة.

18 تحفظ عيد الفطير. سبعة ايام تاكل فطيرا كما امرتك في وقت شهر ابيب. لانك في شهر ابيب خرجت من مصر.

19 لي كل فاتح رحم. وكل ما يولد ذكرا من مواشيك بكرا من ثور وشاة.

20 واما بكر الحمار فتفديه بشاة. وان لم تفده تكسر عنقه. كل بكر من بنيك تفديه. ولا يظهروا امامي فارغين.

21 ستة ايام تعمل. واما اليوم السابع فتستريح فيه. في الفلاحة وفي الحصاد تستريح.

22 وتصنع لنفسك عيد الاسابيع ابكار حصاد الحنطة. وعيد الجمع في آخر السنة.

23 ثلاث مرات في السنة يظهر جميع ذكورك امام السيد الرب اله اسرائيل.

24 فاني اطرد الامم من قدامك واوسع تخومك. ولا يشتهي احد ارضك حين تصعد لتظهر امام الرب الهك ثلاث مرات في السنة.

25 لا تذبح على خمير دم ذبيحتي. ولا تبت الى الغد ذبيحة عيد الفصح.

26 اول ابكار ارضك تحضره الى بيت الرب الهك. لا تطبخ جديا بلبن امه

27 وقال الرب لموسى اكتب لنفسك هذه الكلمات. لانني بحسب هذه الكلمات قطعت عهدا معك ومع اسرائيل.

28 وكان هناك عند الرب اربعين نهارا واربعين ليلة لم ياكل خبزا ولم يشرب ماء. فكتب على اللوحين كلمات العهد الكلمات العشر

29 وكان لما نزل موسى من جبل سيناء ولوحا الشهادة في يد موسى عند نزوله من الجبل ان موسى لم يعلم ان جلد وجهه صار يلمع في كلامه معه.

30 فنظر هرون وجميع بني اسرائيل موسى واذا جلد وجهه يلمع. فخافوا ان يقتربوا اليه.

31 فدعاهم موسى. فرجع اليه هرون وجميع الرؤساء في الجماعة. فكلمهم موسى.

32 وبعد ذلك اقترب جميع بني اسرائيل. فاوصاهم بكل ما تكلم به الرب معه في جبل سيناء.

33 ولما فرغ موسى من الكلام معهم جعل على وجهه برقعا.

34 وكان موسى عند دخوله امام الرب ليتكلم معه ينزع البرقع حتى يخرج. ثم يخرج ويكلم بني اسرائيل بما يوصى.

35 فاذا رأى بنو اسرائيل وجه موسى ان جلده يلمع كان موسى يرد البرقع على وجهه حتى يدخل ليتكلم معه

2575. 'Behold, I have given a thousand pieces of silver to your brother' means an infinite abundance of rational truth joined to [celestial] good. This is clear from the meaning of 'a thousand' as much and countless, here, as infinite, or an infinite abundance, since the expression has reference to the Lord, a meaning dealt with below; from the meaning of 'silver' as rational truth, dealt with in 1551, 2048; and from the meaning of 'a brother' as celestial good joined to rational truth, like a brother to a sister, 2524, 2557. From this it is evident that 'I have given a thousand pieces of silver to your brother' means an infinite abundance of rational truth joined to [celestial] good. The reason this abundance was granted to good, meant by 'a brother', but not to truth, is that truth derives from good, not good from truth. Regarding that infinite abundance, see 2572.

[2] That 'a thousand' in the Word means much and countless, and infinite when it has reference to the Lord, is evident from the following places: In Moses,

I, Jehovah your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the sons, on the third and on the fourth generations of those who hate Me; and showing mercy to thousands of those who love Me and keep My commandments. Exodus 20:5-6; 34:7; Deuteronomy 5:9-10.

And in Jeremiah,

Jehovah shows mercy to thousands and He repays the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their sons after them. Jeremiah 32:18.

In these two places 'thousands' does not mean a definite number but that which is infinite, for the Lord's mercy, being Divine, is infinite. In David,

The chariots of God are myriad on myriad, thousands on thousands; 1 the Lord is within them, Sinai within holiness. Psalms 68:17.

Here 'myriads' and 'thousands' stand for things that are countless.

[3] In the same author,

A thousand will fall at your side, and a myriad at your right hand; it will not come near you. Psalms 91:7.

Here also 'a thousand' and 'a myriad' stand for things that are countless, and as it has reference to the Lord, who is meant by 'David' in the Psalms, those numbers stand for all who are His enemies. In the same author,

Our garners are full, yielding food and still more food; our flocks bring forth a thousand, and ten thousand in our streets. Psalms 144:13.

Here also 'a thousand', and 'ten thousand' or a myriad, stand for things that are countless. In the same author,

A thousand years in Your eyes are but as yesterday when it is past. Psalms 90:4.

'A thousand years' stands for that which is outside time, thus for eternity, which is infinity of time. In Isaiah,

One thousand at the rebuke of one, at the rebuke of five will you flee until you are left like a flagstaff on top of a mountain. Isaiah 30:17.

Here 'one thousand' or a chiliad stands for a large indefinite number, 'five' for few, 649. In Moses,

May Jehovah the God of your fathers add to you, as you are, a thousand times, and may He bless you. Deuteronomy 1:11.

Here 'a thousand times' stands for things that are countless, as in everyday speech in which also a thousand is an expression for many, as when one speaks of things being said thousands of times, or done in thousands of ways. Similarly in Joshua,

One man of you will chase a thousand, for Jehovah your God fights for you. Joshua 23:10.

[4] Being a definite calculable number, the word 'thousand' when used in prophetical parts, especially when these are linked together as historical descriptions, appears to mean a thousand. But in fact it means people who are many or countless - an unspecified number. For historical descriptions are of such a nature that they restrict people's ideas to the most immediate and proper meanings that the words possess, as they also do with the names that occur there, when in fact numbers in the Word, like names also, mean real things, as may become clear from what has been shown already concerning numbers in 482, 487, 575, 647, 648, 755, 813, 1963, 1988, 2075, 2252. This explains why some people suppose that the thousand years referred to in Revelation 20:1-7 means a thousand years or periods of time, for the reason, as has been stated, that prophecies are declared in that book through historical descriptions. But in fact 'a thousand years' there means nothing else than that which is large and indeterminate, and elsewhere infinity of time, or eternity.

Genesis 20

Studie

   

1 Abraham traveled from there toward the land of the South, and lived between Kadesh and Shur. He lived as a foreigner in Gerar.

2 Abraham said about Sarah his wife, "She is my sister." Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.

3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, "Behold, you are a dead man, because of the woman whom you have taken. For she is a man's wife."

4 Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, "Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation?

5 Didn't he tell me, 'She is my sister?' She, even she herself, said, 'He is my brother.' In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands have I done this."

6 God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me. Therefore I didn't allow you to touch her.

7 Now therefore, restore the man's wife. For he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. If you don't restore her, know for sure that you will die, you, and all who are yours."

8 Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ear. The men were very scared.

9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, "What have you done to us? How have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done deeds to me that ought not to be done!"

10 Abimelech said to Abraham, "What did you see, that you have done this thing?"

11 Abraham said, "Because I thought, 'Surely the fear of God is not in this place. They will kill me for my wife's sake.'

12 Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.

13 It happened, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, 'This is your kindness which you shall show to me. Everywhere that we go, say of me, "He is my brother."'"

14 Abimelech took sheep and cattle, male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife, to him.

15 Abimelech said, "Behold, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases you."

16 To Sarah he said, "Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, it is for you a covering of the eyes to all that are with you. In front of all you are vindicated."

17 Abraham prayed to God. God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his female servants, and they bore children.

18 For Yahweh had closed up tight all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
