出埃及记 16

Studie

   

1 以色列全会众从以琳起行,在出埃及後第二个十五日到了以琳和西乃中间、汛的旷野

2 以色列全会众在旷野摩西亚伦发怨言,

3 :巴不得我们埃及耶和华的下;那时我们旁边,饱足。你们将我们领出来,到这旷野,是要叫这全会众都饿阿!

4 耶和华摩西:我要将粮食从降给你们。百姓可以出去,每收每的分,我好试验他们遵不遵我的度。

5 第六,他们要把所收进的预备好了,比每所收的多一倍。

6 摩西亚伦以色列众人:到了晚上,你们要知道耶和华将你们从埃及领出来的。

7 早晨,你们要耶和华的荣耀,因为耶和华见你们向他所发的怨言了。我们算甚麽,你们竟向我们发怨言呢?

8 摩西耶和华晚上你们早晨你们食物得饱;因为你们向耶和华发的怨言,他都见了。我们算甚麽,你们的怨言不是向我们发的,乃是向耶和华发的。

9 摩西亚伦:你告诉以色列全会众:你们就近耶和华面前,因为他已经见你们的怨言了。

10 亚伦正对以色列全会众说话的时候,他们向旷野,不料,耶和华的荣光在中显现。

11 耶和华晓谕摩西

12 我已经以色列人的怨言。你告诉他们:到黄昏的时候,你们要早晨必有食物得饱,你们就知道我是耶和华─你们的

13 到了晚上,有鹌鹑飞来,遮满了早晨四围的地上有水。

14 水上升之後,不料,野地面上有如白的小圆物。

15 以色列人见,不知道是甚麽,就彼此对问:这是甚麽呢?摩西对他们:这就是耶和华你们吃的食物。

16 耶和华所吩咐的是这样:你们要按着各的饭量,为帐棚里的,按着数收起来,各拿一俄梅珥。

17 以色列人就这样行;有多收的,有少收的。

18 及至用俄梅珥量一量,多收的也没有馀,少收的也没有缺;各按着自己的饭量收取。

19 摩西对他们:所收的,不许甚麽留到早晨

20 然而他们不摩西的话,内中有留到早晨的,就生了;摩西便向他们发怒。

21 他们每日早晨,按着各的饭量收取,日头一发热,就消化了。

22 第六,他们收了双倍的食物,每人两俄梅珥。会众的官长告诉摩西

23 摩西对他们耶和华这样:明安息日,是向耶和华守的安息日。你们要烤的了,要的就了,所剩下的都留到早晨

24 他们就照摩西的吩咐留到早晨,也不,里头也没有虫子。

25 摩西:你们今天这个罢!因为今天是向耶和华守的安息日;你们在田野必不着了。

26 可以收取,第七乃是安息日,那一天必没有了。

27 第七,百姓中有人出去收,甚麽也不着。

28 耶和华摩西:你们不肯守我的诫命和律,要到几时呢?

29 你们耶和华既将安息日赐你们,所以第六他赐你们两的食物,第七在自己的地方,不许甚麽出去。

30 於是百姓第七安息了。

31 这食物,以色列吗哪;样子像芫荽子,颜色是白的,滋味如同搀蜜的薄饼。

32 摩西耶和华所吩咐的是这样:要将一满俄梅珥俄梅珥就是伊法十分之一)吗哪留到世世代,使後人可以见我当日将你们领出埃及,在旷野所给你们的食物。

33 摩西亚伦:你拿个罐子,盛满俄梅珥吗哪,存在耶和华面前,要留到世世代

34 耶和华怎麽吩咐摩西亚伦就怎麽行,把吗哪放在法柜前存留。

35 以色列人吗哪共四十年,直到进了有人居住之,就是迦南的境界。

36 俄梅珥就是伊法十分之一。

8455. 'There was a deposit of dew around the camp' means the truth of peace attaching itself. This is clear from the meaning of 'dew' as the truth of peace, dealt with in 3579. The reason why 'dew' means the truth of peace is that it comes down in the morning from heaven or the sky and on grassland looks like a light shower of rain. But also it holds a certain sweetness or pleasantness, more so than a shower of rain does, and causes grass and crops in the field to rejoice. And 'morning' is a state of peace, 2780. For what peace is, see 2780, 3696, 4681, 5662, where it is said to be like the dawn on earth, which fills people's minds with overall delight. And the truth of peace is like the light of dawn. This truth which is being called the truth of peace is the Divine Truth itself present in heaven and coming from the Lord; it influences all there without exception, and causes heaven to be heaven. Peace holds within itself trust in the Lord, the trust that He governs all things and provides all things, and that He leads towards an end that is good. When a person believes these things about Him he is at peace, since he fears nothing and no anxiety about things to come disturbs him. How far a person attains this state depends on how far he attains love to the Lord.

[2] Everything bad, especially trust in self, takes away the state of peace. People think that someone bad is at peace when he is calm and cheerful because everything is going right for him. But this is not peace, it is the calm and delight belonging to evil desires that merely simulates the state of peace. This delight, being the opposite of the delight belonging to peace, turns to undelight in the next life, for that is what lies hidden within it. In the next life outward things are rolled away one layer after another through to inmost things at the centre. Peace is at the centre of all delight, even of the undelight of a person governed by good. So far therefore as he casts off what is external the state of peace is revealed and he is filled with bliss, blessedness, and happiness, the source of which is the Lord Himself.

[3] Regarding the state of peace that exists in heaven one may say it is such that no words can describe it; nor can any idea of a worldly origin enable it to enter a person's thought and perception, as long as he is in the world. It transcends all his awareness then. Calmness of mind, contentment, and cheerfulness because things are going right are nothing in comparison, for these affect only the outward parts of the mind. But peace affects the inmost parts of all; it affects the primary substances, and the beginnings of substances as they exist with a person, and from these it spreads and pours itself out into parts formed from those substances and beginnings of them. It brings a lovely feeling into them; it brings bliss and happiness to the parts where his ideas form, consequently to his ends in life, and so makes his mind into a heaven.
