出埃及記 32

Studie

   

1 百姓見摩西遲延不,就大家聚集到亞倫那裡,對他起來!為我們像,可以在我們前面引路;因為領我們埃及的那個摩西我們知道他遭了甚麼事。

2 亞倫對他們:你們去摘下你們妻子、兒女耳上的環,拿來給我。

3 百姓就都摘下他們耳上的環,拿來給亞倫

4 亞倫從他們裡接過來,鑄了一隻犢,用雕刻的器具做成。他們就以色列阿,這是領你出埃及

5 亞倫見,就在牛犢面前築,且宣告:明日要向耶和華守節。

6 次日清,百姓起來獻燔祭和平安祭,就起來玩耍。

7 耶和華吩咐摩西去罷,因為你的百姓,就是你從埃及領出來的,已經敗壞了。

8 他們快快偏離了我所吩咐的道,為自己鑄了一隻犢,向他下拜獻祭,以色列阿,這就是領你出埃及

9 耶和華摩西:我這百姓真是硬著頸項的百姓。

10 你且由著我,我要向他們發烈怒,將他們滅絕,使你的後裔成為國。

11 摩西便懇求耶和華─他的耶和華阿,你為甚麼向你的百姓發烈怒呢?這百姓是你用力和能的埃及領出來的。

12 為甚麼使埃及人議論他領他們出去,是要降禍與他們,把他們殺在中,將他們從地上除滅?求你意,不發你的烈怒,後悔,不降禍與你的百姓。

13 求你記念你的僕人亞伯拉罕以撒以色列。你曾指著自己起誓:我必使你們的後裔像上的那樣多,並且我所應許的這全,必你們的後裔,他們要永遠承受為業。

14 於是耶和華後悔,不把所的禍降與他的百姓。

15 摩西轉身裡拿著兩塊法版。這版是兩面的,這面那面有字,

16 工作,字是的,刻在版上。

17 約書亞一見百姓呼喊的聲音,就對摩西:在裡有爭戰的聲音。

18 摩西:這不是人打勝仗的聲音,也不是人打敗仗的聲音,我所見的乃是人歌唱的聲音。

19 摩西挨近前就犢,又見人跳舞,便發烈怒,把兩塊版扔在摔碎了,

20 又將他們所鑄的犢用焚燒,磨得粉,撒在面上,叫以色列人喝。

21 摩西亞倫:這百姓向你做了甚麼?你竟使他們陷在罪裡!

22 亞倫:求我不要發烈怒。這百姓專於作惡,是你知道的。

23 他們對我:你為我們像,可以在我們前面引路;因為領我們埃及的那個摩西我們知道他遭了甚麼事。

24 我對他們:凡有環的可以摘下來,他們就了我。我把環扔在中,這犢便出來了。

25 摩西見百姓放肆(亞倫縱容他們,使他們在仇敵中間被譏刺),

26 就站在中,:凡屬耶和華的,都要到我這裡來!於是利未的子孫都到他那裡聚集

27 他對他們耶和華以色列的這樣:你們各把刀跨在腰間,在中往來,從這到那,各殺他的弟兄與同伴並鄰舍。

28 利未的子孫照摩西的行了。那一天百姓中被殺的約有

29 摩西今天你們要自潔,歸耶和華為聖,各攻擊他的兒子和弟兄,使耶和華賜福與你們。

30 到了第二天,摩西對百姓:你們犯了。我如今要上耶和華那裡去,或者可以為你們贖罪

31 摩西回到耶和華那裡,:唉!這百姓犯了罪,為自己做了像。

32 倘或你肯赦免他們的……不然,求你從你所的冊上塗抹我的名。

33 耶和華摩西:誰得罪我,我就從我的冊上塗抹誰的名。

34 現在你去領這百姓,往我所告訴你的地方去,我的使者必在你前面引路;只是到我追討的日子,我必追討他們的

35 耶和華殺百姓的緣故是因他們同亞倫做了犢。

10395. THE INTERNAL SENSE

Verses 1-6 And the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain. And the people gathered together to Aaron, and said to him, Rise, make us gods to go before us; for this Moses, that man who caused us to come up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him. And Aaron said to them, Pull away the ear-jewels of gold which are on the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me. And all the people pulled away the ear-jewels of gold which were on their ears, and brought them to Aaron. And he received [the gold] from their hands, and fashioned it with a chisel, and made out of it a calf of molded [metal]; and they said, These are your gods, O Israel, who caused you to come up out of the land of Egypt. And Aaron saw it and built an altar in front of it, and Aaron made a proclamation and said, Tomorrow there will be a feast to Jehovah 1 . And they rose up in the morning of the next day, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

'And the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain' means the Israelite nation, when they did not discern in the Word anything from heaven. 'And the people gathered together to Aaron' means that they directed themselves to the outward features of the Word, the Church, and worship, detached from what was inward. 'And said to him' means exhortation. 'Rise, make us gods to go before us' means producing falsities that figure in religious teachings and worship, thus producing things of an idolatrous nature. 'For this Moses, that man who caused us to come up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him' means a total unawareness of what other Divine Truth exists in the Word that raises a person from an external to an internal level [and makes him an embodiment of the Church]. 'And Aaron said to them' means the outward features of the Word, the Church, and worship, devoid of the inward. 'Pull away the ear-jewels of gold from the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters' means drawing out of the literal sense of the Word such things as are favourable to external forms of love and to the major ideas resulting from these. 'And bring them to me' means bringing together into a single whole. 'And all the people pulled away the ear-jewels of gold which were on their ears, and brought them to Aaron' means putting into effect. 'And he received [the gold] from their hands' means things favouring their proprium or self. 'And fashioned it with a chisel' means a product of their own intelligence. 'And made out of it a calf of molded [metal]' means in keeping with the delight belonging to that nation's loves. 'And they said, These are your gods, O Israel' means that it was to be worshipped above all things. 'Who caused you to come up out of the land of Egypt' means which led them. 'And Aaron saw it' means approval. 'And built an altar in front of it' means worship. 'And Aaron made a proclamation and said, Tomorrow there will be a feast to Jehovah' means that this is the really essential thing of the Church which is to be celebrated and the truly Divine reality that is to be worshipped unceasingly. 'And they rose up in the morning of the next day' means arousal by the loves that are their own. 'And offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings' means the worship offered by their own loves, and so by the delights belonging to those loves and by resulting falsities. 'And the people sat down to eat and drink' means making those things their own. 'And rose up to play' means the resulting desire of their interiors to celebrate, and concord.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. In this chapter Swedenborg does not use a capital letter for the Divine name in this particular expression; i.e. he writes jehovah, not Jehovah.
