Izlazak 24

Studie

   

1 Potom reče Mojsiju: "Uzađi k Jahvi - ti, Aron, Nadab i Abihu i sedamdeset izraelskih starješina. Poklonite se izdaljega!

2 Neka se sam Mojsije primakne k Jahvi! Oni neka se ne primiču, a puk neka se s njim ne penje."

3 Dođe Mojsije i kaza narodu sve riječi Jahvine i sve odredbe. A sav puk odgovori u jedan glas: "Sve riječi što ih Jahve reče, vršit ćemo."

4 Tada Mojsije popiše sve riječi Jahvine. A ujutro podrani te podigne žrtvenik na podnožju brda i dvanaest stupova za dvanaest plemena Izraelovih.

5 Zatim naloži mladim Izraelcima da prinesu žrtve paljenice i da žrtvuju Jahvi junce kao žrtve pričesnice.

6 Mojsije uhvati krv; polovinu krvi ulije u posude, a polovinu izlije po žrtveniku.

7 Prihvati zatim Knjigu Saveza pa je narodu glasno pročita, a narod uzvrati: "Sve što je Jahve rekao, izvršit ćemo i poslušat ćemo."

8 Mojsije potom uzme krvi te poškropi narod govoreći: "Ovo je krv Saveza koji je Jahve s vama uspostavio na temelju svih ovih riječi."

9 Onda se uspne Mojsije s Aronom, Nadabom i Abihuom i sa sedamdeset starješina Izraelovih.

10 Oni vidješe Boga Izraelova: podnožje njegovim nogama kao da je bilo od dragoga kamena safira, sjajem nalik na samo nebo.

11 Ni ruke svoje nije pružio na izabranike Izraelaca: slobodno su Boga motrili i jeli i pili.

12 Onda Jahve reče Mojsiju: "Popni se k meni na brdo i pričekaj ondje. Dat ću ti kamene ploče sa zakonom i zapovijedima koje sam za njihovu pouku napisao."

13 Ustane Mojsije i njegov pomoćnik Jošua te se Mojsije popne na brdo Božje.

14 A starješinama reče: "Čekajte nas ovdje dok se ne vratimo. Eto je s vama Aron i Hur. Tko imadne kakvu razmiricu, neka se obrati na njih."

15 Zatim Mojsije uzađe na brdo, a onda oblak prekri brdo.

16 Slava se Jahvina nastani na Sinajskom brdu i oblak ga obavijaše šest dana. Sedmoga dana zovne Jahve Mojsija isred oblaka.

17 Slava Jahvina na vrhuncu brda bijaše očima Izraelaca kao vatra koja sažiže. Mojsije zađe u oblak i uspne se na brdo.

18 Četrdeset dana i Četrdeset noći boravio je Mojsije na brdu.

Apocalypse Revealed # 344

344. Then I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun. (7:2) This symbolizes the Lord providing and moderating.

The angel here means the Lord in respect to Divine love, because he ascended from the rising of the sun, and from the rising of the sun or from the east means from Divine love. For in the spiritual world the Lord is the sun and the east, and He is called that in respect to that love. His providing and moderating is apparent from His commandment to the four angels not to harm the earth and sea till the servants of God had been sealed on their foreheads.

That in the highest sense an angel means the Lord's Divine humanity is apparent from the following verses:

...the Angel of (Jehovah's) presence delivered them because of His love and His clemency. He redeemed them, and took them up, and carried them all the days of eternity. (Isaiah 63:9)

The Angel who has redeemed me from all evil, bless (them). (Genesis 48:16)

The Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple, even the Angel of the covenant, whom you are desiring. (Malachi 3:1)

...I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way... Beware of his presence...; for My name is in the midst of him. (Exodus 23:20-23)

"Angel" and "one sent" are, in Hebrew, the same word. That is why the Lord so often calls Himself one sent by the Father, meaning by it His Divine humanity.

In a relative sense, on the other hand, an angel is anyone who accepts the Lord, whether in heaven or in the world.
