Izlazak 34

1 Reče Jahve Mojsiju: "Okleši dvije kamene ploče kao i prijašnje pa ću ja na ploče napisati riječi koje su bile na prvim pločama što si ih razbio.

2 Budi gotov do jutra. Onda, ujutro, popni se na brdo Sinaj i ondje ćeš, navrh brda, stupiti preda me.

3 Nitko drugi neka se s tobom ne penje; neka se nitko nigdje na brdu ne pokaže. Neka ni ovce ni goveda ne pasu podno brda."

4 Mojsije okleše dvije kamene ploče kao i prijašnje; rano jutrom ustane i popne se na Sinajsko brdo, uzevši u ruke dvije kamene ploče, kako mu je Jahve naredio.

5 Jahve se spusti u liku oblaka, a on stade preda nj i zazva Ime: "Jahve!"

6 Jahve prođe ispred njega te se javi: "Jahve! Jahve! Bog milosrdan i milostiv, spor na srdžbu, bogat ljubavlju i vjernošću,

7 iskazuje milost tisućama, podnosi opačinu, grijeh i prijestup, ali krivca nekažnjena ne ostavlja nego kažnjava opačinu otaca na djeci - čak na unučadi do trećega i četvrtog koljena."

8 Mojsije smjesta pade na zemlju i pokloni se.

9 Onda reče: "Gospodine moj! Ako sam stekao blagonaklonost u tvojim očima, onda, o Gospodine, pođi s nama! Premda je narod tvrde šije, oprosti naše grijehe i naše opačine i primi nas za svoju baštinu!"

10 "Dobro", odgovori, "sklapam Savez. Pred cijelim tvojim pukom činit ću čudesa kakva se nisu događala ni u kojoj zemlji, ni u kojem narodu. Sav narod koji te okružuje vidjet će što može Jahve, jer ono što ću s tobom učiniti bit će strašno.

11 Vrši, dakle, što ti danas nalažem! Gle, protjerat će ispred tebe Amorejce, Kanaance, Hetite, Perižane, Hivijce i Jebusejce.

12 Čuvaj se da ne praviš saveza sa stanovnicima zemlje u koju ideš; da ne budu zamkom u tvojoj sredini.

13 Nego porušite njihove žrtvenike, oborite njihove stupove, počupajte im ašere!

14 Jer ne smiješ se klanjati drugome bogu. TÓa Jahve - ime mu je Ljubomorni - Bog je ljubomoran.

15 Ne pravi saveza sa stanovnicima one zemlje da te oni, kad se odaju bludnosti sa svojim bogovima i žrtve im budu prinosili, ne bi pozivali, a ti pristao da jedeš od prinesene žrtve;

16 da ne bi uzimao njihove djevojke za žene svojim sinovima, da one - odajući se bludništvu sa svojim bogovima - ne bi za sobom povele i tvoje sinove.

17 Ne pravi sebi livenih bogova!

18 Drži Blagdan beskvasnoga kruha - jedući beskvasni kruh sedam dana, kako sam ti naredio - u određeno vrijeme u mjesecu Abibu, jer si u mjesecu Abibu izišao iz Egipta.

19 Svako prvorođenče materinjega krila meni pripada: svako muško, svaki prvenac tvoga i sitnoga i krupnoga blaga.

20 Prvenca od magarice otkupi jednim grlom sitne stoke. Ako ga ne otkupiš, moraš mu šijom zavrnuti. A sve prvorođence od svojih sinova otkupljuj. Neka nitko preda me ne stupa praznih ruku!

21 Šest dana radi, a sedmoga od poslova odustani, sve ako je u doba oranja ili u vrijeme žetve.

22 Svetkuj Blagdan sedmica - prvine pšenične žetve - i Blagdan berbe na prekretu godine.

23 Triput na godinu neka se svi muškarci pojave pred Gospodinom Jahvom, Bogom Izraelovim.

24 Jer ću protjerati narode ispred tebe i proširiti tvoje međe te nitko neće hlepiti za tvojom zemljom kad triput u godini budeš uzlazio da se pokažeš pred Jahvom, Bogom svojim.

25 Od žrtve koju mi namjenjuješ ne prinosi krvi ni s čim ukvasanim; niti ostavljaj žrtve prinesene na blagdan Pashe da prenoći do jutra.

26 U kuću Jahve, Boga svoga, donosi najbolje prvine plodova sa svoje zemlje. Ne kuhaj kozleta u mlijeku njegove majke.

27 Zapiši ove riječi", reče Jahve Mojsiju, "jer su one temelji na kojima sam s tobom i s Izraelom sklopio Savez."

28 Mojsije ostade ondje s Jahvom četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći. Niti je kruha jeo niti je vode pio. Tada je na ploče ispisao riječi Saveza - Deset zapovijedi.

29 Napokon Mojsije siđe sa Sinajskog brda. Silazeći s brda, nosio je u rukama ploče Svjedočanstva. Nije ni znao da iz njegova lica, zbog razgovora s Jahvom, izbija svjetlost.

30 Kad su Aron i svi Izraelci vidjeli kako iz Mojsijeva lica izbija svjetlost, ne usudiše se k njemu pristupiti.

31 Onda ih Mojsije zovnu. Tada k njemu dođoše Aron i sve starješine zajednice. I Mojsije razgovaraše s njima.

32 Poslije k njemu dođoše i svi Izraelci, pa im on priopći sve što mu je naložio Jahve na Sinajskom brdu.

33 Kad je Mojsije završio razgovor s njima, prevuče preko svoga lica koprenu.

34 Kad bi god Mojsije ulazio pred Jahvu da s njim razgovara, koprenu bi skinuo dok opet ne bi izišao. Kad bi izlazio da Izraelcima kaže što mu je naređeno,

35 Izraelci bi vidjeli kako iz Mojsijeva lica izbija svjetlost. Tada bi Mojsije opet prevukao koprenu preko lica dok ne uđe da s Jahvom govori.

Apocalypse Explained # 937

937. That Moses signifies the Word of the Old Testament, is evident from certain passages in the Word where he is mentioned. In some places, however, by Moses is meant the law in its strictest sense, which is the law published from Mount Sinai. In some, the law in a broader sense, which is the historical Word, is meant by him. But in the present case the Word of the Old Testament is meant, both historical and prophetical. The reason why Moses signifies the Word is, that the Ten Precepts, and afterwards the Five Books, which were the first [portion] of the Word, were not from himself but from the Lord through him.

That Moses is mentioned instead of the law and the Word is plain from the following passages. In Luke:

"Abraham said unto him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them: if they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead" (16:29, 31).

Here by Moses and the Prophets is meant the same as elsewhere by the Law and the Prophets, namely, the historical and prophetical Word.

In the same:

Jesus, "beginning from Moses and all the prophets, interpreted in all the scriptures the things concerning himself" (24:27).

In the same:

"All things must be fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me" (24:44).

In John:

Philip said, "We have found him, of whom Moses hath written in the law" (1:45).

In the same:

"In the law Moses commanded us" (8:5).

In Daniel:

"The curse hath poured down upon us; and the oath, which is written in the law of Moses, the servant of God; because we have sinned against him. As it is written in the law of Moses, every evil cometh upon us" (9:11, 13).

In Joshua:

Joshua wrote upon the stone of the altar "a copy of the law of Moses" (8:32).

In John:

"Moses gave to you the law, Moses gave to you circumcision. If a man receive circumcision on the Sabbath, thus that the law of Moses might not be broken" (7:19, 22, 23).

In Mark:

"Moses hath said, Honour thy father and thy mother" (7:10).

[2] Because on account of the representation, that is attributed to Moses which was done by the Lord through him, therefore the law of Moses and the law of the Lord are both mentioned in Luke:

"When the days of their purification were fulfilled according to the law of Moses, they brought him to Jerusalem (even as it is written in the law of the Lord, that every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord) to offer the sacrifice, according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtle doves, and two young pigeons" (2:22-24, 29).

[3] Because Moses represented the law, it was allowed him to enter in to the Lord upon Mount Sinai, and not only to receive there the Tables of the Law, but also to hear the statutes and judgments of the Law; and to command them to the people. And it is also said, that they might thence believe in Moses for ever:

"Jehovah said unto Moses, Behold I will come to thee in the mist of a cloud, that the people may hear, when I shall speak unto thee; and also may believe in thee for ever" (Exodus 19:9).

[4] It is said, in the mist of a cloud, because by a cloud is signified the Word in the letter. Hence also when Moses entered in to the Lord on Mount Sinai,

He entered into a cloud (Exodus 20:21; 24:2, 18; 35:2-4).

That a cloud signifies the sense of the letter of the Word may be seen (n. 36, 594, 905, 906).

Because Moses represented the Lord as to the law or the Word, therefore,

"When he came down from Mount Sinai, the skin of his face shone; therefore when he spake with the people, he put a veil upon his face" (Exodus 34:28 to end).

The radiation of the face signified the internal of the law; for this is in the light of heaven. The reason of his veiling his face when he spake with the people was, became the internal of the Word was covered, and so obscured to that people, that they could not sustain anything of the light thence.

[5] Since Moses represented the Lord as to the historical Word, and Elias the Lord as to the prophetical Word, therefore, when the Lord was transfigured, Moses and Elias were seen talking with Him (Matthew 17:3). Nor could any others speak with the Lord when His Divine appeared in the world, but those who signified the Word; for all discourse with the Lord is by means of the Word. That Elias represented the Lord as to the Word may be seen above (n. 624).

And because both Moses and Elias, together, represented the Word, therefore, where Elias being sent before the Lord is treated of, both are mentioned in Malachi:

"Remember ye the law of Moses, my servant, which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, the statutes and the judgments. Lo, I send to you Elias the prophet, before the great and terrible day of Jehovah cometh" (Malachi 4:4-6).

By Elias the prophet is meant John the Baptist, because by him, as by Elias, the Word was represented; see above (n. 624, 724).
