Ponovljeni Zakon 10

Studie

   

1 U to vrijeme Jahve mi reče: 'Iskleši dvije kamene ploče kao i prijašnje pa se popni k meni na brdo; a napravi i drveni kovčeg.

2 Na ploče ću napisati riječi koje su bile na prvim pločama što si ih razbio. A onda ih položi u kovčeg.'

3 Načinih kovčeg od bagremovine, isklesah dvije kamene ploče kao što bijahu prve, pa se, s dvjema pločama u ruci, popeh na brdo.

4 I napisa na te ploče, kao i prije, Deset riječi koje vam je Jahve rekao na brdu, isred ognja, na dan zbora. Onda ih Jahve dade meni.

5 Okrenuh se i siđoh s brda. Položih ploče u kovčeg koji bijah napravio. I stadoše ondje, kako mi je Jahve naredio.

6 Od Beerota sinova Jaakanovih odoše Izraelci u Moseru. Ondje umrije Aron i ondje bi pokopan. Svećenikom mjesto njega postade njegov sin Eleazar.

7 Odande odoše u Gudgodu; iz Gudgode u Jotbatu, u kraj bogat potocima.

8 U to vrijeme odvoji Jahve pleme Levijevo da nosi Kovčeg saveza Jahvina; da pred Jahvom stoji u njegovoj službi te da u njegovo ime blagoslivlja, kako radi i danas.

9 Stoga Levi nema udjela ni baštine sa svojom braćom: Jahve je njegova baština, kako mu je Jahve, Bog tvoj, i rekao.

10 Na brdu sam ostao, kao i prvi put, četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći. I usliša me Jahve i taj put; nije htio da te uništi,

11 nego mi Jahve reče: 'Ustaj! Idi pred ovim narodom da uđu i zaposjednu zemlju za koju sam se zakleo njihovim ocima da ću im je dati.'

12 Dakle, Izraele, što od tebe traži Jahve, Bog tvoj? Samo to da se bojiš Jahve, Boga svoga; da po svim putovima njegovim hodiš; da ga ljubiš i služiš Jahvi, Bogu svome, svim srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom;

13 da držiš Jahvine zapovijedi i njegove zakone što ti ih danas za tvoje dobro dajem.

14 Evo, Jahvi, Bogu tvome, pripada nebo i nebo nad nebesima, zemlja i sve što je na njoj.

15 Ali Jahvi samo vaši oci omilješe i poslije njih izabrao je vas, potomke njihove, između svih naroda, kako je i danas.

16 Srce svoje obrežite; šiju više ne ukrućujte!

17 Jer Jahve, Bog vaš, Bog je nad bogovima, Gospodar nad gospodarima, Bog velik, jak i strašan, koji nije pristran i ne da se podmititi;

18 daje pravdu siroti i udovici; ljubi pridošlicu, daje mu hranu i odjeću.

19 Ljubite i vi pridošlicu, jer ste i sami bili pridošlice u zemlji egipatskoj.

20 Boj se Jahve, Boga svojeg; njemu služi; uza nj se priljubi; njegovim imenom priseži.

21 On je tvoja slava, Bog tvoj, koji je radi tebe učinio velika i čudesna djela što su ih vidjele tvoje oči.

22 Tvojih otaca, kad su se spustili u Egipat, bješe samo sedamdeset, a sad je Jahve, Bog tvoj, učinio te vas ima kao zvijezda na nebu.

59. What we have said about the law’s promulgation, holiness and power in no. 55 above, may be found in the Word in the following passages:

That Jehovah descended onto Mount Sinai in fire, and that the mountain smoked and quaked then, and that there were thunderings, lightnings, a thick cloud, and the sound of a trumpet, see Exodus 19:16, 18, and Deuteronomy 4:11, 5:19-23.

That before Jehovah descended, the people readied themselves and sanctified themselves for three days, see Exodus 19:10-11, 15.

That bounds were set around the mountain to keep anyone from drawing near and approaching its base, on pain of death, and that not even the priests were to approach, but only Moses, see Exodus 19:12-13, 20-23, 24:1-2.

For the law promulgated from Mount Sinai, see Exodus 20:2-14, Deuteronomy 5:6-21.

That the law was written on two tablets of stone with the finger of God, see Exodus 31:18, 32:15-16, Deuteronomy 9:10.

That when Moses brought those tablets down from the mountain a second time, his face shone, see Exodus 34:29-35.

That the tablets were placed in the Ark, see Exodus 25:16, 40:20, Deuteronomy 10:5 and 1 Kings 8:9.

That on the Ark was set a mercy seat, and placed on this were cherubim of gold, see Exodus 25:17-21.

[2] That the Ark, together with the mercy seat and cherubim, constituted the inmost constituents of the Tabernacle, and that the golden lampstand, the golden altar of incense, and the table overlaid with gold which held the showbread constituted its outer constituents, and the ten curtains of linen, purple and scarlet its outmost constituents, see Exodus 25,26, 40:17-28.

That the place where the Ark was, was called the holy of holies or most holy place, see Exodus 26:33.

That the Israelite people all camped in order by tribes about the place where it resided, and set out in order after it, see Numbers 2.

That a cloud then stood over its abode by day, and fire by night, see Exodus 40:38, Numbers 9:15-16, 14:14, and Deuteronomy 1:33.

That the Lord spoke with Moses from above the Ark between the cherubim, see Exodus 25:22 and Numbers 7:89.

That because of the law it contained, the Ark was called the abode of Jehovah, for whenever the Ark set out Moses said, “Rise up, O Jehovah!” and when it rested, “Return, O Jehovah!” see Numbers 10:35-36, and also 2 Samuel 6:2, Psalms 132:7-8.

That because of the holiness of that law, Aaron was permitted to enter within the veil only with sacrifices and incense, see Leviticus 16:2-14ff.

That David brought the Ark into Zion with sacrifices and jubilation, see 2 Samuel 6:1-19. That Uzzah later died because he touched it, see verses 6 and 7 in that same chapter.

That the Ark was placed in the midst of the Temple in Jerusalem, where it constituted its inner sanctuary, see 1 Kings 6:19ff., 8:3-9.

[3] That because of the Lord’s presence and power in the law contained in the Ark, the Jordan’s waters were parted, and as long as the Ark rested in the midst of it, the people crossed over on dry ground, see Joshua 3:1-17, 4:5-20.

That the Ark’s being carried around caused the walls of Jericho to fall, see Joshua 6:1-20.

That Dagon, the Philistine god, fell down before the Ark, and after that lay at the threshold of the shrine with its head broken off, see 1 Samuel 5:1-4.

That because of the Ark many thousands of the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh were struck, see 1 Samuel 6:19.
