Exodus 31

Studie

   

1 I mluvil Hospodin k Mojžíšovi, řka:

2 Hle, povolal jsem ze jména Bezeleele, syna Uri, syna Hur, z pokolení Judova.

3 A naplnil jsem ho duchem Božím, moudrostí a rozumností, i uměním všelijakého řemesla,

4 Aby vtipně smysliti uměl, což by koli řemeslně uděláno býti mohlo z zlata a z stříbra i z mědi.

5 I v řezání kamení drahého k vsazování, i v umělém vysazování na dřevě aby dělal všelijaké dílo.

6 A aj, já přidal jsem jemu Aholiaba, syna Achisamechova, z pokolení Dan. A v srdci každého vtipného složil jsem moudrost, aby spravili vše, což jsem přikázal tobě:

7 Stánek úmluvy a truhlu svědectví, a slitovnici, kteráž má býti na ní, i všelijaké nádobí stánku;

8 Stůl také a nádoby k němu, i svícen čistý se všemi nádobami jeho, a oltář pro kadění;

9 Též oltář k zápalům se všemi nádobami jeho, a umyvadlo s podstavkem jeho;

10 I roucha k službě, i roucha svatá Aronovi knězi, i roucha synů jeho, aby mi úřad kněžský konali;

11 I olej pomazání a kadidlo vonné do svatyně. Všecko tak, jakž jsem přikázal tobě, udělají.

12 Mluvil také Hospodin k Mojžíšovi, řka:

13 Ty pak mluv k synům Izraelským a rci: A však sobot mých ostříhati budete. Nebo to znamením jest mezi mnou a vámi po rodech vašich, aby známo bylo, že já jsem Hospodin, kterýž vás posvěcuji.

14 Protož ostříhati budete soboty, nebo svatá jest vám. Kdož by ji poškvrnil, smrtí umře; a kdo by koli dělal v ní dílo, vyhlazena bude ta duše z prostředku lidu svého.

15 Šest dní děláno bude dílo, ale v den sedmý sobota odpočinutí jest, svatost Hospodinu. Každý, kdož by dělal dílo v den sobotní, smrtí umře.

16 Protož ostříhati budou synové Izraelští soboty, tak aby světili sobotu po rodech svých smlouvou věčnou.

17 Mezi mnou a syny Izraelskými za znamení jest na věčnost; nebo šest dní činil Hospodin nebe i zemi, v den pak sedmý přestal a odpočinul.

18 I dal Pán Mojžíšovi po dokonání těchto řečí s ním na hoře Sinai dvě dsky svědectví, dsky kamenné, psané prstem Božím.

668. "For Your judgments have been manifested." This symbolically means that the truths in the Word openly attest to this.

Judgments symbolize the Divine truths in accordance with which a person is to live, truths which reveal his character and are the precepts against which he will be judged. Moreover, because these Divine truths are found in the Word, and the Word now lies open, testifying that the Lord alone is God of heaven and earth, therefore the declaration that "Your judgments have been manifested" means symbolically that the truths in the Word attest to this.

That the Word now lies open, testifying that the Lord alone is God of heaven and earth, that a person ought to live in accordance with His precepts, and that today's faith is to be rejected, can be seen from four doctrinal works now published, one being The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Regarding the Lord, another The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Regarding the Sacred Scripture, a third The Doctrine of Life for the New Jerusalem, and fourth The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Regarding Faith. These are the doctrines meant by the declaration, "For Your judgments have been manifested."

[2] Since the Lord embodies Divine good and truth, and since judgment symbolizes Divine truth, and righteousness Divine good, therefore in many passages referring to the Lord we find mention of righteousness and judgment, as for example in the following:

Zion shall be redeemed in righteousness, and her repatriates with judgment. (Isaiah 1:27)

(He will sit) upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to... establish it with judgment and righteousness... (Isaiah 9:7)

Be Jehovah exalted, for He dwells on high, and has filled the earth with judgment and righteousness. (Isaiah 33:5)

...let him who glories glory in this..., that... Jehovah (exercises)...judgment and righteousness in the earth. (Jeremiah 9:24)

...I will raise to David a righteous Branch, who shall reign as a King... and execute judgment and righteousness in the earth. (Jeremiah 23:5; 33:15)

I will betroth Myself to you forever... in righteousness and with judgment... (Hosea 2:19)

Judgment will flow like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream. (Amos 5:24)

Your righteousness, (O Jehovah,) is like the mountains of God, Your judgments like a great deep. (Psalms 36:6)

(Jehovah) shall bring forth His righteousness as the light, and judgment as the noonday. (Psalms 37:6)

(Jehovah) will judge His people with righteousness, and His wretched with judgment. (Psalms 72:2)

Righteousness and judgment are the foundation of His throne. (Psalms 89:14)

...when I learn the judgments of Your righteousness... Seven times a day I praise You because of the judgments of Your righteousness. (Psalms 119:7, 164)

And elsewhere that people ought to exercise righteousness and judgment, as in Isaiah 1:21; 5:16; 56:1; 58:2; Jeremiah 4:2; 22:3, 13, 15; Ezekiel 18:5; 33:14, 16, 19; Amos 6:12; Micah 7:9; Deuteronomy 33:21; John 16:8, 10-11. Righteousness there refers to the goodness of truth, and judgment to the truth accompanying goodness.

[3] Since judgment refers to truth, and righteousness to goodness, therefore in some places we find references to truth and righteousness, as in Isaiah 11:5, Psalms 85:11. Also in Psalms:

The judgments of Jehovah are true; they are righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold..., and sweeter than honey... (Psalms 19:9-10)

That the Lord's government in the celestial kingdom is termed one of righteousness, and in the spiritual kingdom one of judgment, may be seen in the book Heaven and Hell (published in London), nos. 214-216.
