Izlazak 33

Studie

   

1 Jahve reče Mojsiju: "Idi! Putuj odavde, ti i narod koji si izveo iz zemlje egipatske, u zemlju za koju sam se zakleo Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu da ću je dati njihovim potomcima.

2 Pred tobom ću poslati anđela; istjerat ću Kanaance, Amorejce, Hetite, Perižane, Hivijce i Jebusejce.

3 Idite u zemlju kojom teče mlijeko i med. Ja s vama neću poći - jer ste narod tvrde šije - da vas putem ne istrijebim."

4 Kad narod ču ove oštre riječi, poče tugovati. I nitko više ne stavi na se svoga nakita.

5 Jer reče Jahve Mojsiju: "Kaži Izraelcima: 'Vi ste narod tvrde šije. Kad bih ja s vama išao samo čas, uništio bih vas. Stoga skinite svoj nakit, a ja ću vidjeti što ću s vama učiniti.'"

6 Tako su od brda Horeba Izraelci bili bez nakita.

7 Mojsije uze Šator i razape ga izvan tabora, daleko od tabora. I nazva ga Šator sastanka. Tko bi se god htio obratiti Jahvi, pošao bi k Šatoru sastanka, koji se nalazio izvan tabora.

8 Kad bi god Mojsije pošao u Šator, sav bi se narod digao; svatko bi stajao kod ulaza u svoj Šator i gledao za Mojsijem dok ne bi ušao u Šator.

9 A kad bi Mojsije ušao u Šator, stup bi se oblaka spustio i ostajao na ulazu u Šator dok je Jahve s Mojsijem razgovarao.

10 Videći kako stup oblaka stoji na ulazu Šatora, sav bi se narod tada dizao i svatko bi se duboko klanjao na vratima svoga šatora.

11 Tako bi Jahve razgovarao s Mojsijem licem u lice, kao što čovjek govori s prijateljem. Mojsije bi se poslije vratio u tabor, ali se njegov pomoćnik Jošua, sin Nunov, mlađarac, iz Šatora ne bi micao.

12 Mojsije oslovi Jahvu: "Vidi, ti si meni rekao: 'Povedi ovaj narod', ali mi nisi objavio koga ćeš sa mnom poslati. Još si mi rekao: 'Znam te po imenu, i ti uživaš moju blagonaklonost.'

13 Stoga, ako uživam tvoju blagonaklonost, objavi mi svoje putove da te shvatim i da dalje uživam tvoju blagonaklonost. Promisli također da je ova svjetina tvoj narod."

14 "Ja ću osobno s tobom poći", odgovori Jahve, "i počinak ti priuštiti."

15 "Ako ti ne pođeš", nadoda Mojsije, "odavde nas i ne izvodi.

16 TÓa kako će se znati da uživamo tvoju naklonost, ja i tvoj narod? Po tome što ideš s nama. Time ćemo se samo razlikovati ja i tvoj narod među svim narodima koji su na licu zemlje."

17 "I ovo što si zatražio, učinit ću", odgovori Jahve Mojsiju. "TÓa ti uživaš moju blagonaklonost jer te po imenu poznajem."

18 "Pokaži mi svoju slavu", zamoli Mojsije.

19 "Dopustit ću da ispred tebe prođe sav moj sjaj", odgovori, "i pred tobom ću izustiti svoje ime Jahve. Bit ću milostiv kome hoću da milostiv budem; smilovat ću se komu hoću da se smilujem.

20 A ti", doda, "moga lica ne možeš vidjeti, jer ne može čovjek mene vidjeti i na životu ostati.

21 Evo mjesta ovdje uza me", nastavi Jahve. "Stani na pećinu!

22 Dok moja slava bude prolazila, stavit ću te u pukotinu pećine i svojom te rukom zakloniti dok ne prođem.

23 Onda ću ja svoju ruku maknuti, pa ćeš me s leđa vidjeti. Ali se lice moje ne može vidjeti."

10652. 'And their daughters go whoring after their gods, and they cause your sons to go whoring after their gods' means profanation thereby of goodness and truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'whoring' as being linked together unlawfully, dealt with above in 10648; from the meaning of 'their daughters', or the daughters of the inhabitants of the land, as affections for evil; from the meaning of 'their gods' as the falsities belonging to the affections for evil which have been linked to truths (for by 'their gods' the gods of the daughters of the inhabitants of the land linked in marriage to the sons of the Israelite nation should be understood, dealt with immediately above in 10651), and this linking is the profanation of good; and from the meaning of 'causing your sons to go whoring after their gods' as a linking of truth to falsities, which is the profanation of truth. For the meaning of 'gods' as falsities, see 4402(end), 4544, 7873, 8867; and for that of 'sons' as truths, 489, 491, 533, 1147, 3373, 4257, 9807, 10490.

[2] These matters are stated in this way because the first linking of the affections for evil to truths, meant by 'taking the daughters of the inhabitants of the land for your sons', does not as yet constitute profanation; but the second linking does constitute it, for this is brought about when evil is applied to truth and truth is applied to evil, which is done by misconstruing truth and applying it to evil, thus by incorporating one in the other. As a result truth ceases to be truth any longer; it is ruined and profaned.

[3] Such profanation is also meant by the people's committing whoredom with the daughters of Moab, spoken of in Moses as follows,

Israel settled down in Shittim, where the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab. And they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods; and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods. Therefore Jehovah said to Moses, Take all the chiefs 1 of the people, and hang them up for Jehovah before the sun. And the people were struck down, and twenty-four thousand died from that plague. Numbers 25:1-4, 6, 9.

'Moab' means those who adulterate forms of good, see 2468, 8315, 'the daughters of Moab' affections for that evil, and 'committing whoredom with them' profanation. Consequently the punishment was the hanging up of the people's chiefs before the sun, and the death of twenty-four thousand. For 'the sun' of this world means self-love, 10584, and 'being hung up before it' the total extermination of heavenly good [by self-love]. And 'twenty-four thousand' means all forms of truth and the good of truth in their entirety, the same as 'twelve thousand', 2089, 3913, 7973, and 'the death' of that number of people the extermination of all truths. This is what happens to profaners.

4544. 'Remove the gods of the foreigner which are in the midst of you' means that falsities were to be cast aside. This is clear from the meaning of 'removing' as casting aside, and from the meaning of 'the gods of the foreigner' as falsities; for in the Word 'gods' means truths and in the contrary sense falsities, 4402. Those people were called 'foreigners' who were outside the Church and therefore those who were subject to falsities and evils, 2049, 2115; and this explains why 'the gods of the foreigner' means falsities.
