出埃及记 19

Studie

   

1 以色列人埃及以後,满了的那一天,就到西乃的旷野

2 他们离了利非订,到西乃的旷野,就在那里的下安营。

3 摩西那里,耶和华呼唤:你要这样告诉雅各家,晓谕以色列人

4 我向埃及人所行的事,你们都见了,且见我如将你们背在翅膀上,带来归我。

5 如今你们若实在从我的话,遵守我的约,就要在万民中作属我的子民,因为全都是我的。

6 你们要归我作祭司的国度,为圣洁的国民。这些你要告诉以色列人

7 摩西去召了民间的长老,将耶和华所吩咐他的都在他们面前陈明。

8 百姓都同声回答:凡耶和华的,我们都要遵行。摩西就将百姓的回覆耶和华

9 耶和华摩西:我要在密中临到你那里,叫百姓在我与你说话的时候可以见,也可以永远信你了。於是,摩西将百姓的奏告耶和华

10 耶和华又对摩西:你往百姓那里去,叫他们今天自洁,又叫他们洗衣服。

11 第三要预备好了,因为第三耶和华要在众百姓眼前降临在西乃上。

12 你要在的四围给百姓定界限,:你们当谨慎,不可上去,也不可摸的边界;凡摸这的,必要治他。

13 不可用摸他,必用石头打死,或用箭射透;无论是牲畜,都不得活。到角声拖长的时候,他们才可到根来。

14 摩西往百姓那里去,叫他们自洁,他们就洗衣服。

15 他对百姓:到第要预备好了。不可亲女人

16 到了第三早晨,在上有轰、闪电,和密,并且角声甚大,中的百姓尽都发颤。

17 摩西率领百姓出迎接,都站在下。

18 西乃全冒烟,因为耶和华中降於上。的烟气上腾,如烧窑一般,遍大大的震动。

19 角声渐渐的高而又高,摩西说话声音答应他。

20 耶和华降临在西乃顶上,耶和华摩西顶,摩西就上去。

21 耶和华摩西:你去嘱咐百姓,不可闯过来到我面前观,恐怕他们有多人死亡;

22 又叫亲我的祭司自洁,恐怕我忽然出来击杀他们。

23 摩西耶和华:百姓不能上西乃,因为你已经嘱咐我们:要在的四围定界限,叫成圣

24 耶和华对他去罢,你要和亚伦一同上来;只是祭司和百姓不可闯过来上到我面前,恐怕我忽然出来击杀他们。

25 於是摩西到百姓那里告诉他们。

8759. Verses 3-8 And Moses went up to God, and Jehovah called to him from the mountain, saying, Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel, You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and [how] I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you to Myself. And now, if you will indeed hear My voice and keep My covenant, you will be to Me a peculiar treasure 1 more than all peoples; for all the earth is Mine. And you will be for Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel. And Moses came and called the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which Jehovah commanded him. And all the people answered together and said, All that Jehovah has spoken we will do. And Moses brought back the people's words to Jehovah.

'And Moses went up to God' means the truth from God which was below heaven joining itself to Divine Truth in heaven. 'And Jehovah called to him from the mountain' means the union of Divine Good in heaven with Divine Truth there. 'Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel' means the salvation of those belonging to the spiritual Church, external and internal. 'You have seen what I did to the Egyptians' means remembrance of all that happened to the evil who engaged in molestation. 'And [how] I bore you on eagles' wings' means and that as a result they were raised by means of truths to heavenly light. 'And brought you to Myself' means thus to the good of love existing in heaven. 'And now, if you will indeed hear My voice' means the acceptance of truth. 'And keep My covenant' means thus leading a good life, and as a consequence being joined [to the Lord]. 'You will be to Me a peculiar treasure from among all peoples' means that at that time Divine Truth will exist with them more than with others. 'For all the earth is Mine' means that all power is the Lord's in heaven and on earth. 'And you will be for Me a kingdom of priests' means that at that time the good of truth will be with them. 'And a holy nation' means thus the spiritual kingdom. 'These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel' means influx in order that truths may be received within good. 'And Moses came and called the elders of the people' means the choice of those who ranked first in the understanding of truth. 'And set before them all these words' means a proposition, together with influx. 'Which Jehovah commanded him' means from the Divine. 'And all the people answered' means receptivity. 'And said, All that Jehovah has spoken we will do' means in accord with the influx from the Divine. 'And Moses brought back the people's words to Jehovah' means correspondence and being joined together.
