出埃及记 20

Studie

   

1 吩咐这一切的

2 我是耶和华─你的,曾将你从埃及为奴之家领出来。

3 除了我以外,你不可有别的

4 不可为自己雕刻偶像,也不可做甚麽形像彷佛上,和中的百物。

5 不可跪拜那些像,也不可事奉他,因为我耶和华─你的是忌邪的。恨我的,我必追讨他的罪,自父及子,直到四代;

6 我、守我诫命的,我必向他们发慈爱,直到代。

7 不可妄称耶和华─你的名;因为妄称耶和华名的,耶和华必不以他为无罪。

8 当记念安息日,守为日。

9 日要劳碌做你一切的工,

10 但第七日是向耶和华─你当守的安息日。这一日你和你的儿女、仆婢、牲畜,并你城里寄居的客旅,无论何工都不可做;

11 因为日之内,耶和华,和其中的万物,第七日便安息,所以耶和华赐福与安息日,定为日。

12 当孝敬父母,使你的日子在耶和华─你所赐你的地上得以长久。

13 不可杀人。

14 不可奸淫。

15 不可盗。

16 不可作假见证陷害人。

17 不可贪恋人的房屋;也不可贪恋人的妻子、仆婢、牛,并他一切所有的。

18 众百姓见轰、闪电、角声、上冒烟,就都发颤,远远的站立

19 摩西:求你和我们说话我们;不要我们说话,恐怕我们亡。

20 摩西对百姓:不要惧;因为降临是要试验你们,叫你们时常敬畏他,不致犯罪。

21 於是百姓远远地站立摩西就挨所在的幽暗之中。

22 耶和华摩西:你要向以色列人这样:你们自己见我从上和你们话了。

23 你们不可做甚麽像与我相配,不可为自己做像。

24 你要为我筑土,在上面以牛献为燔祭和平安祭。凡记下我名的地方,我必到那里赐福给你。

25 你若为我筑一座,不可用凿成的石头,因你在上头一动家具,就把污秽了。

26 你上我的,不可用台阶,免得露出你的下体来。

937. That "Moses" signifies the Word of the Old Testament can be seen from certain passages in the Word in which he is mentioned. But in some passages "Moses" means the law in the strictest sense, which is the law given from Mount Sinai; in others, the law in a broader sense, which is the historical Word; while here the Word of the Old Testament, both historical and prophetical, is meant. "Moses" signifies the Word because the Ten Commandments, and afterwards the Five Books, which were the first part of the Word, were not from him but from the Lord through him. That Moses is mentioned instead of the law and the Word, is evident from the following passages. In Luke:

Abraham said unto him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them. If they hear not Moses and the prophets neither will they be persuaded if one should rise from the dead (Luke 16:29, 31).

Here "Moses and the prophets" have a like meaning as the "law and the prophets" elsewhere, namely, the historical and prophetical Word. In the same:

Jesus, beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, interpreted in all the Scriptures the things that pertained to Himself (Luke 24:27).

In the same:

All things must needs be fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses and in the prophets and in the psalms concerning Me (Luke 24:44)

In John:

Philip said, We have found Jesus, of whom Moses in the law did write (John 1:45).

In the same:

In the law Moses commanded us (John 8:5).

In Daniel:

The curse hath flowed down upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against Him. As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us (Daniel 9:11, 13).

In Joshua:

Joshua wrote upon the stone of the altar a copy of the law of Moses (Joshua 8:32).

In John:

Moses gave to you the law. Moses gave you the circumcision. If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses might not be broken (John 7:19, 22, 33).

In Mark:

Moses hath said, Honor thy father and thy mother (Mark 7:10).

[2] That which was from the Lord through Moses was attributed to Moses because of the representation; therefore the terms "the law of Moses" and "the law of the Lord" are both used in Luke:

When the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought Him up to Jerusalem, (as it is written in the law of the Lord, that every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord), that they might offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtle doves or two young pigeons (Luke 2:22-24, 39).

[3] Because Moses represented the law it was permitted him to come into the presence of the Lord on Mount Sinai, and not only to receive there the Tables of the Law, but also to hear the statutes and judgments of the law, and command them to the people; and it is added, that they might therefore believe in Moses forever:

Jehovah said unto Moses, Lo, I will come unto thee in the mist of a cloud, that the people may hear when I shall speak unto thee, and may also believe in thee forever (Exodus 19:9).

It is said "in the mist of a cloud," because a "cloud" signifies the Word in the letter. So when Moses came into the presence of the Lord on Mount Sinai:

He entered into the cloud (Exodus 20:21; 24:2, 18; 34:2-5).

(That "cloud" signifies the sense of the letter of the Word see above, n. 36, 594, 905, 906.)

[4] Because Moses represented the Lord as to the law or the Word, therefore:

When he came down from Mount Sinai the skin of his face shone; therefore when he spoke with the people he put a veil over his face (Exodus 34:28-35).

"The shining of the face" signified the internal of the law, for that is in the light of heaven. He veiled his face when he spoke with the people because the internal of the Word was covered and thus obscured to that people to protect them from anything of its light.

[5] Because Moses represented the Lord as to the historical Word, and Elijah the Lord as to the prophetical Word, when the Lord was transfigured Moses and Elijah were seen talking with Him (Matthew 17:3). When the Lord's Divine was manifested in the world, only those who signified the Word could talk with the Lord, because discourse with the Lord is by means of the Word. (That Elijah represented the Lord as to the Word, see n. 624.)

[6] Because Moses and Elijah taken together represented the Word, where Elijah is spoken of as the one sent before the Lord, both are mentioned, in Malachi:

Remember ye the law of Moses My servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, the statutes and the judgments. Lo, I send to you Elijah the prophet, before the great and terrible day of Jehovah comes (Malachi 4:4-6).

Elijah the prophet means John the Baptist; because he, like Elijah, represented the Word (See above, n. 624, 724).
