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。

8805. 'And Moses went down from the mountain to the people' means application and preparation by the truth from God, in order that truths may be received within good. This is clear from the meaning of 'going down' - when said of 'Moses', who represents the truth from God - as application and also preparation by that truth; from the representation of 'Moses' as the truth from God, dealt with in 8760, 8787, which also acts as an intermediary, 8787, thus which also prepares and applies; from the meaning of 'the mountain' as the Divine within heaven, thus heaven itself; and from the representation of 'the children of Israel' as those belonging to the spiritual Church, thus those guided by truth through which good comes, and governed by good from which truth springs, at this point good in which truths are to be received. It is important to know what is meant specifically by 'Mount Sinai' in this and subsequent chapters of the Book of Exodus, also what is represented by 'the people Israel', and what by 'Moses' as well.

[2] Specifically Mount Sinai means heaven, out of which truths flow in from the Lord. Consequently 'Jehovah came down onto that mountain' means His presence in heaven. And since heaven - in which Jehovah, that is, the Lord, is present - is meant by 'Mount Sinai', Divine Good united to Divine Truth there is also meant by it; for these are what make it heaven.

[3] But The People Israel beside this mountain represent the spiritual Church in respect of good in which the truths of faith are to be implanted. It has been shown already that those belonging to the spiritual Church pass through two states. The first is when they are led by means of truths to good, and the second state is when they are governed by good and consequently by truths. At this point the state is one when they are governed by good in which truths are to be implanted, which state is an intermediate state that comes between those first and second ones. The truths that are implanted within good are contained in those which were declared by the Lord from Mount Sinai and conveyed by Moses to the people.

[4] Moses in this and subsequent chapters represents the truth from God below heaven joined to God's truth in heaven. He therefore represents the intermediary between the Divine in heaven and the good in which truths are to be implanted, the spiritual Church's good, and so represents the intermediary between the Lord and the people.

It is important to know these things for the understanding of what follows below in the Book of Exodus. All this also shows that 'Moses went down from the mountain to the people' means application and preparation through the truth from God for truths to be received within good.
