Izlazak 32

Studie

   

1 A narod, videći gdje Mojsije dugo ne silazi s brda, okupi se oko Arona pa mu rekne: "Ustaj! Napravi nam boga, pa neka on pred nama ide! Ne znamo što se dogodi s tim čovjekom Mojsijem koji nas izvede iz zemlje egipatske."

2 "Poskidajte zlatne naušnice što vise o ušima vaših žena, vaših sinova i vaših kćeri", odgovori im Aron, "pa ih meni donesite."

3 Sav svijet skine zlatne naušnice što ih je o ušima imao i donese Aronu.

4 Primivši zlato iz njihovih ruku, rastopi kovinu u kalupu i načini saliveno tele. A oni poviču: "Ovo je tvoj bog, Izraele, koji te izveo iz zemlje egipatske."

5 Vidjevši to Aron, sagradi pred njim žrtvenik a onda najavi: "Sutra neka se priredi svečanost u čast Jahvi!"

6 Sutradan rano ustanu i prinesu žrtve paljenice i donesu žrtve pričesnice. Onda svijet posjeda da jede i pije. Poslije toga ustade da se zabavlja.

7 "Požuri se dolje!" - progovori Jahve Mojsiju. "Narod tvoj, koji si izveo iz zemlje egipatske, pošao je naopako.

8 Brzo su zašli s puta koji sam im odredio. Napravili su sebi tele od rastopljene kovine, preda nj pali ničice i žrtve mu prinijeli uz poklike: 'Ovo je tvoj bog, Izraele, koji te izveo iz zemlje egipatske!'

9 Dobro vidim", reče dalje Jahve Mojsiju, "da je ovaj narod tvrde šije.

10 Pusti sada neka se moj gnjev na njih raspali da ih istrijebim. Onda ću od tebe razviti velik narod."

11 Mojsije pak zapomagao pred Jahvom, Bogom svojim, i govorio: "O Jahve! Čemu da gnjevom plamtiš na svoj narod koji si izbavio iz zemlje egipatske silom velikom i rukom jakom!

12 Zašto bi Egipćani morali reći: 'U zloj ih je namjeri i odveo, tako da ih smakne u brdinama i izbriše s lica zemlje!' Smiri svoj gnjev i ljutinu; odustani od zla svome narodu!

13 Sjeti se Abrahama, Izaka i Izraela, slugu svojih, kojima si se samim sobom zakleo i obećao im: 'Razmnožit ću vaše potomstvo kao zvijezde na nebu i svu zemlju ovu što sam obećao dat ću vašem potomstvu i ona će zavazda biti njihova baština.'"

14 I Jahve odustane da na svoj narod svali nesreću kojom mu bijaše zaprijetio.

15 Mojsije se okrene i siđe s brda. U rukama su mu bile dvije ploče Svjedočanstva, ploče ispisane na objema plohama; ispisane i s jedne i s druge strane.

16 Ploče su bile djelo Božje; pismo je bilo pismo Božje u pločama urezano.

17 A Jošua ču viku naroda koji je bučio pa reče Mojsiju: "Bojna vika u taboru!"

18 Mojsije mu odgovori: "Niti viču pobjednici, niti tuže pobijeđeni: tu ja samo pjesmu čujem."

19 Čim se približi taboru te opazi tele i kako igraju, razgnjevi se Mojsije. Baci iz ruku ploče i razbije ih na podnožju brda.

20 Pograbi tele koje bijahu napravili, spali ga ognjem i u prah satre. Onda prah razbaca po vodi i natjera Izraelce da je piju.

21 "Što ti je ovaj puk učinio", reče Mojsije Aronu, "da si tako velik grijeh na nj svalio?"

22 "Neka se moj gospodar srdžbom ne raspaljuje", odgovori Aron. "Sam dobro znaš kako je ovaj narod na zlo sklon.

23 Rekoše mi: 'Napravi nam boga pa neka pred nama ide! Ne znamo što se dogodi s tim čovjekom Mojsijem koji nas izbavi iz zemlje egipatske.'

24 Na to im ja rekoh: 'Tko ima zlata, neka ga skine!' Tako mi ga dadoše, a ja ga bacih u vatru te izađe ovo tele."

25 Kad je Mojsije vidio kako je narod postao razuzdan - tÓa Aron ih je pustio da padnu u idolopoklonstvo među svojim neprijateljima -

26 stade na taborskim vratima i povika: "Tko je za Jahvu, k meni!" Svi se sinovi Levijevi okupe oko njega.

27 On im reče: "Ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraela: 'Neka svatko pripaše mač o bedro i pođe taborom od vrata do vrata pa neka ubije tko svoga brata, tko svoga prijatelja, tko svoga susjeda.'"

28 Sinovi Levijevi izvršiše Mojsijev nalog, i toga dana pade naroda oko tri tisuće ljudi.

29 "Danas ste se posvetili Jahvi za službu", reče Mojsije, "tko uz cijenu svoga sina, tko uz cijenu svoga brata, tako da vam Danas daje blagoslov."

30 Sutradan reče Mojsije narodu: "Težak ste grijeh počinili. Ipak ću se Jahvi popeti. Možda za vaš grijeh oproštenje pribavim."

31 Mojsije se vrati Jahvi pa reče: "Jao! Narod onaj težak je grijeh počinio napravivši sebi boga od zlata.

32 Ipak im taj grijeh oprosti... Ako nećeš, onda i mene izbriši iz svoje knjige koju si napisao."

33 Nato Jahve odgovori Mojsiju: "Onoga koji je protiv mene sagriješio izbrisat ću iz svoje knjige.

34 Nego, idi sad! Povedi narod kamo sam ti rekao. Anđeo će moj pred tobom ići. Ali u dan kad ih pohodim, zbog njihova ću ih grijeha kazniti."

35 Udari Jahve po narodu pomorom zbog teleta što im ga Aron načini.

10395. THE INTERNAL SENSE.

Verses 1-6. And the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain; and the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Rise, make us gods which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that made us come up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what hath become of him. And Aaron said unto them, Tear off the golden earrings which are in the ears of your women, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me. And all the people tore off the golden earrings that were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. And he received them from their hand, and formed it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf; and they said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which made thee come up out of the land of Egypt. And Aaron saw, and built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation and said, Tomorrow is a feast to jehovah. 1 And they rose up in the morning on the morrow, and offered burnt-offerings, and brought-peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play. “And the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain” signifies the Israelitish nation when it did not notice in the Word anything from heaven; “and the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron” signifies that they turned themselves to the externals of the Word, of the church, and of worship, separate from what is internal; “and said unto him” signifies exhortation; “Rise, make us gods which shall go before us” signifies falsities of doctrine and of worship, thus things idolatrous; “for as for this Moses, the man that made us come up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what hath become of him” signifies that it is altogether unknown what other Divine truth there is in the Word, which raises man from what is external into what is internal; “and Aaron said unto them” signifies the external of the Word, of the church, and of worship, without what is internal; “Tear off the golden earrings that are in the ears of your women, of your sons, and of your daughters” signifies the drawing out from the sense of the letter of the Word of such things as favor external loves and the principles thence derived; “and bring them unto me” signifies a bringing together into a one; “and all the people tore off the golden earrings that were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron” signifies the effect; “and he received them from their hand” signifies things that favor what is their own; “and formed it with a graving tool” signifies from their own intelligence; “and made it a molten calf” signifies according to the delight of the loves of that nation; “and they said, These are thy gods, O Israel” signifies which is to be worshiped above all things; “which made thee come up out of the land of Egypt” signifies which had led them; “and Aaron saw” signifies approval; “and he built an altar before it” signifies worship; “and Aaron made proclamation, and said, Tomorrow is a feast to jehovah 1 ” signifies that this is a very essential of the church which is to be celebrated, and a very divine 1 which is to be perpetually adored; “and they rose up in the morning on the morrow” signifies incitement by their loves; “and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings” signifies the worship of their loves, thus of the delights of these loves, and of the falsities thence derived; “and the people sat down to eat and to drink” signifies the appropriation of these things; “and rose up to play” signifies the consequent festivity of their interiors, and consent.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. The name “jehovah” is in this connection given by Swedenborg with a small initial letter, doubtless because as applied to the golden calf the name is profane and unworthy of veneration. The same remark applies to “divine” as here used, for contrary to his usual custom Swedenborg here writes this word with a small initial letter. See also n. 10566, 10603. [REVISER.]
