出埃及記 16

Studie

   

1 以色列全會眾從以琳起行,在出埃及後第二個十五日到了以琳和西乃中間、汛的曠野。

2 以色列全會眾在曠野向摩西亞倫發怨言,

3 :巴不得我們埃及耶和華的下;那時我們旁邊,飽足。你們將我們領出來,到這曠野,是要叫這全會眾都餓阿!

4 耶和華摩西:我要將糧食從降給你們。百姓可以出去,每收每的分,我好試驗他們遵不遵我的度。

5 第六,他們要把所收進的預備好了,比每所收的多一倍。

6 摩西亞倫以色列眾人:到了晚上,你們要知道耶和華將你們從埃及領出來的。

7 早晨,你們要耶和華的榮耀,因為耶和華見你們向他所發的怨言了。我們算甚麼,你們竟向我們發怨言呢?

8 摩西耶和華晚上你們早晨你們食物得飽;因為你們向耶和華發的怨言,他都見了。我們算甚麼,你們的怨言不是向我們發的,乃是向耶和華發的。

9 摩西亞倫:你告訴以色列全會眾:你們就近耶和華面前,因為他已經見你們的怨言了。

10 亞倫正對以色列全會眾說話的時候,他們向曠野觀,不料,耶和華的榮光在中顯現。

11 耶和華曉諭摩西

12 我已經以色列人的怨言。你告訴他們:到黃昏的時候,你們要早晨必有食物得飽,你們就知道我是耶和華─你們的

13 到了晚上,有鵪鶉飛來,遮滿了早晨四圍的地上有水。

14 水上升之後,不料,野地面上有如白的小圓物。

15 以色列人見,不知道是甚麼,就彼此對問:這是甚麼呢?摩西對他們:這就是耶和華你們吃的食物。

16 耶和華所吩咐的是這樣:你們要按著各的飯量,為帳棚裡的,按著數收起來,各拿一俄梅珥。

17 以色列人就這樣行;有多收的,有少收的。

18 及至用俄梅珥量一量,多收的也沒有餘,少收的也沒有缺;各按著自己的飯量收取。

19 摩西對他們:所收的,不許甚麼留到早晨

20 然而他們不摩西的話,內中有留到早晨的,就生了;摩西便向他們發怒。

21 他們每日早晨,按著各的飯量收取,日頭一發熱,就消化了。

22 第六,他們收了雙倍的食物,每人兩俄梅珥。會眾的官長告訴摩西

23 摩西對他們耶和華這樣:明安息日,是向耶和華守的安息日。你們要烤的了,要的就了,所剩下的都留到早晨

24 他們就照摩西的吩咐留到早晨,也不,裡頭也沒有蟲子。

25 摩西:你們今天這個罷!因為今天是向耶和華守的安息日;你們在田野必不著了。

26 可以收取,第七乃是安息日,那一天必沒有了。

27 第七,百姓中有人出去收,甚麼也不著。

28 耶和華摩西:你們不肯守我的誡命和律,要到幾時呢?

29 你們耶和華既將安息日賜你們,所以第六他賜你們兩的食物,第七在自己的地方,不許甚麼出去。

30 於是百姓第七安息了。

31 這食物,以色列嗎哪;樣子像芫荽子,顏色是白的,滋味如同攙蜜的薄餅。

32 摩西耶和華所吩咐的是這樣:要將一滿俄梅珥俄梅珥就是伊法十分之一)嗎哪留到世世代,使後人可以見我當日將你們領出埃及,在曠野所給你們的食物。

33 摩西亞倫:你拿個罐子,盛滿俄梅珥嗎哪,存在耶和華面前,要留到世世代

34 耶和華怎麼吩咐摩西亞倫就怎麼行,把嗎哪放在法櫃前存留。

35 以色列人嗎哪共四十年,直到進了有人居住之,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.
