出埃及記 19

Studie

   

1 以色列人埃及以後,滿了的那一天,就到西乃的曠野。

2 他們離了利非訂,到西乃的曠野,就在那裡的下安營。

3 摩西那裡,耶和華呼喚:你要這樣告訴雅各家,曉諭以色列人

4 我向埃及人所行的事,你們都見了,且見我如將你們背在翅膀上,帶來歸我。

5 如今你們若實在從我的話,遵守我的約,就要在萬民中作屬我的子民,因為全都是我的。

6 你們要歸我作祭司的國度,為聖潔的國民。這些你要告訴以色列人

7 摩西去召了民間的長老,將耶和華所吩咐他的都在他們面前陳明。

8 百姓都同聲回答:凡耶和華的,我們都要遵行。摩西就將百姓的回覆耶和華

9 耶和華摩西:我要在密中臨到你那裡,叫百姓在我與你說話的時候可以見,也可以永遠信你了。於是,摩西將百姓的奏告耶和華

10 耶和華又對摩西:你往百姓那裡去,叫他們今天自潔,又叫他們洗衣服。

11 第三要預備好了,因為第三耶和華要在眾百姓眼前降臨在西乃上。

12 你要在的四圍給百姓定界限,:你們當謹慎,不可上去,也不可摸的邊界;凡摸這的,必要治他。

13 不可用摸他,必用石頭打死,或用箭射透;無論是牲畜,都不得活。到角聲拖長的時候,他們才可到根來。

14 摩西往百姓那裡去,叫他們自潔,他們就洗衣服。

15 他對百姓:到第要預備好了。不可親女人

16 到了第三早晨,在上有轟、閃電,和密,並且角聲甚大,中的百姓盡都發顫。

17 摩西率領百姓出迎接,都站在下。

18 西乃全冒煙,因為耶和華中降於上。的煙氣上騰,如燒窯一般,遍大大的震動。

19 角聲漸漸的高而又高,摩西說話有聲音答應他。

20 耶和華降臨在西乃頂上,耶和華摩西頂,摩西就上去。

21 耶和華摩西:你去囑咐百姓,不可闖過來到我面前觀,恐怕他們有多人死亡;

22 又叫親我的祭司自潔,恐怕我忽然出來擊殺他們。

23 摩西耶和華:百姓不能上西乃,因為你已經囑咐我們:要在的四圍定界限,叫成聖

24 耶和華對他去罷,你要和亞倫一同上來;只是祭司和百姓不可闖過來上到我面前,恐怕我忽然出來擊殺他們。

25 於是摩西到百姓那裡告訴他們。

8748. Exodus 19

1. In the third month from the going of the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, on this day they came to the wilderness of Sinai.

2. And they travelled from Rephidim, and came to the wilderness of Sinai, and encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped beside the mountain.

3. 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,

4. You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and [how] I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you to Myself.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. And Moses came and called the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which Jehovah commanded him.

8. 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.

9. And Jehovah said to Moses, Behold, I am coming to you in the thickness of a cloud, in order that the people may hear when I speak to you, and also will believe in you forever. And Moses told the people's words to Jehovah.

10. And Jehovah said to Moses, Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow; and let them wash their garments.

11. And they will be ready by the third day; for on the third day Jehovah will come down before the eyes of all the people onto Mount Sinai.

12. And you are to set bounds for the people round about, saying, Take care not to go up into the mountain or to touch the border of it; everyone touching the mountain will surely die.

13. Let no hand touch it, for he will surely be stoned or will be killed by being shot with arrows; whether it is a beast or a man, it shall not live. When there is a long sounding with the jobel 2 they shall go up into the mountain.

14. And Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their garments.

15. And he said to the people, Be ready by the third day; do not go near a woman.

16. And so it was on the third day, when it came to be morning, that there were voices 3 and lightnings, and a heavy cloud on the mountain, and the voice of a trumpet extremely loud; and all the people who were in the camp trembled.

17. And Moses caused the people to go out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the foot 4 of the mountain.

18. And Mount Sinai was smoking, the whole of it, because Jehovah came down onto it in fire; and its smoke went up like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain began to tremble greatly.

19. And the voice of the trumpet grew louder and louder 5 ; Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.

20. And Jehovah came down onto Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain; and Jehovah called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

21. And Jehovah said to Moses, Go down, warn the people so that they do not perhaps break through to Jehovah to see [Him], and many of them fall.

22. And also the priests coming near Jehovah must sanctify themselves, so that Jehovah does not perhaps make a breach in them.

23. And Moses said to Jehovah, The people cannot go up to Mount Sinai; for You have warned us, saying, Set bounds to the mountain and sanctify it.

24. And Jehovah said to him, Go! go down; and you are to come up, you and Aaron with you. And do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to Jehovah, so that He does not perhaps make a breach in them.

25. And Moses went down to the people and told them.
