出埃及记 24

Studie

   

1 耶和华摩西:你和亚伦、拿答、亚比户,并以色列长老中的七十人,都要上到我这里来,远远的下拜。

2 惟独你可以亲耶和华;他们却不可亲;百姓也不可和你一同上来。

3 摩西下山,将耶和华的命令典章都述与百姓听。众百姓齐声耶和华所吩咐的,我们都必遵行。

4 摩西耶和华的命令都上。清起来,在筑一座,按以色列十二支派立十二根柱子,

5 又打发以色列人中的少年人去献燔祭,又向耶和华献牛为平安祭。

6 摩西将血一半盛在盆中,一半洒在上;

7 又将约念给百姓。他们耶和华所吩咐的,我们都必遵行。

8 摩西将血洒在百姓身上,:你看!这是立约的血,是耶和华按这一切与你们立约的凭据。

9 摩西亚伦、拿答、亚比户,并以色列长老中的七十人,都上了山。

10 他们以色列的,他彷佛有平铺的蓝宝石,如同色明净。

11 他的不加害在以色列的尊者身上。他们观看;他们又

12 耶和华摩西:你上到我这里来,住在这里,我要将版并我所的律法和诫命你,使你可以教训百姓。

13 摩西和他的帮手约书亚起来,上了

14 摩西对长老:你们在这里等着,等到我们回来,有亚伦、户珥与你们同在。凡有争讼的,都可以就他们去。

15 摩西,有彩把遮盖。

16 耶和华的荣耀停於西乃彩遮盖,第七他从中召摩西

17 耶和华的荣耀在顶上,在以色列人眼前,形状如烈

18 摩西进入中上,在四十昼夜。

8818. 'And they stood at the foot of the mountain' means a long way off from the good of celestial love. This is clear from the meaning of 'Mount Sinai' as heaven, and so as God's good united to Divine Truth there, dealt with in 8805; and from the meaning of 'standing at the foot of it' as a long way off or far away from that good. The meaning here in the internal historical sense is the Israelite nation, which was devoid of the good of celestial love, see above in 8788, 8806, and was therefore a long way off from it, which also accounts for what is said below, in verses 21-22, 24-25, that Moses warned the people and also the priests not to break through the bounds, nor to touch the mountain, and so die. But in the internal sense, which refers to those belonging to the spiritual Church, the meaning of the people's standing at the foot of the mountain is that they were not allowed to go up in arrogant self-confidence to a higher heaven, or if they did they would die, regarding which see 8794, 8797.
