Exodus 19

Studie

   

1 I den tredje Måned efter Israeliternes Udvandring af Ægypten, på denne Dag nåede de Sinaj Ørken.

2 De brød op fra efdim og kom til Sinaj Ørken og slog Lejr i Ørkenen. Der slog . Israel Lejr lige over for Bjerget,

3 men Moses steg op til Gud. Da råbte HE EN til ham fra Bjerget: "Dette skal du sige til Jakobs Hus og kundgøre for Israels Børn:

4 I har set, hvad jeg gjorde ved Ægypterne, og hvorledes jeg bar eder på Ørnevinger og bragte eder hid til mig.

5 Hvis I nu vil lyde min øst og holde min Pagt, så skal I være min Ejendom blandt alle Folkene, thi mig hører hele Jorden til,

6 og I skal blive mig et Kongerige af Præster og et helligt Folk! Det er de Ord, du skal tale til Israels Børn !"

7 Da gik Moses hen og kaldte Folkets Ældste sammen og forelagde dem alle disse Ord, som HE EN havde pålagt ham.

8 Og hele Folket svarede, alle som een: "Alt, hvad HE EN har sagt, vil vi gøre!" Da bragte Moses HE EN Folkets Svar.

9 Derpå sagde HE EN til Moses: "Se, jeg vil komme til dig i en tæt Sky, for at Folket kan høre, at jeg taler med dig, og for stedse tro også på dig!" Og Moses kundgjorde HE EN Folkets Svar.

10 Da sagde HE EN til Moses: "Gå til Folket og lad dem hellige sig i Dag og i Morgen og tvætte deres Klæder

11 og holde sig rede til i Overmorgen, thi i Overmorgen vil HE EN stige ned for alt Folkets Øjne på Sinaj Bjerg.

12 Og du skal rundt om spærre af for Folket og sige til dem: Vog eder for at gå op på Bjerget, ja for blot at røre ved Yderkanten deraf; enhver, der rører ved Bjerget, er dødsens!

13 Ingen Håndrøre ved ham, han skal stenes eller skydes ned; hvad enten det er et Dyr eller et Menneske, skal det miste Livet. Når Væderhornet lyder, skal de stige op på Bjerget."

14 Så steg Moses ned fra Bjerget til Folket og lod Folket hellige sig, og de tvættede deres Klæder;

15 og han sagde til Folket: Hold eder rede til i Overmorgen, ingen må komme en Kvinde nær!"

16 Da Morgenen gryede den tredje Dag, begyndte det at tordne og lyne, og en tung Sky lagde sig over Bjerget, og der hørtes vældige Stød i Horn. Da skælvede alt Folket i Lejren.

17 Så førte Moses Folket fra Lejren hen for Gud, og de stillede sig neden for Bjerget.

18 Men hele Sinaj Bjerg hylledes i øg, fordi HE EN steg ned derpå i Ild, og øgen stod i Vejret som øg fra en Smelteovn; og hele Folket skælvede så1e.

19 Og Stødene i Hornene blev stærkere og stærkere; Moses talte, og Gud svarede ham med høj øst.

20 Og da HE EN var steget ned på Sinaj Bjerg, på Toppen af Bjerget, kaldte han Moses op på Toppen af Bjerget, og Moses steg derop.

21 Da sagde HE EN til Moses: "Stig ned og indskærp Folket, at de ikke må trænge sig frem til HE EN for at se ham, at der ikke skal ske et stort Mandefald iblandt dem.

22 Selv Præsterne, som ellers træder frem for HE EN, skal hellige sig, for at ikke HE EN skal tynde ud i deres ækker."

23 Da sagde Moses til HE EN: "Folket kan jo ikke stige op på Sinaj Bjerg, thi du har selv indskærpet os at afspærre Bjerget og hellige det."

24 Men HE EN sagde til ham: "Stig nu ned og kom atter herop sammen med Aron; men Præsterne og Folket må ikke trænge sig frem for at komme op til HE EN, at han ikke skal tynde ud i deres ækker."

25 Da steg Moses ned til Folket og sagde det til dem.

8837. 'Saying, You are to set bounds to the mountain' means by declaring that the spiritual sphere of good comes to an end below [the celestial kingdom]. This is clear from the meaning of 'setting bounds to the mountain' as not extending into heaven beyond the spiritual spheres of good, dealt with above in 8794-8797.

Exodus 19

Studie

   

1 In the third month after the children of Israel had gone forth out of the land of Egypt, on that same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.

2 When they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mountain.

3 Moses went up to God, and Yahweh called to him out of the mountain, saying, "This is what you shall tell the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:

4 'You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you to myself.

5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice, and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own possession from among all peoples; for all the earth is mine;

6 and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation.' These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel."

7 Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which Yahweh commanded him.

8 All the people answered together, and said, "All that Yahweh has spoken we will do." Moses reported the words of the people to Yahweh.

9 Yahweh said to Moses, "Behold, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever." Moses told the words of the people to Yahweh.

10 Yahweh said to Moses, "Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments,

11 and be ready against the third day; for on the third day Yahweh will come down in the sight of all the people on Mount Sinai.

12 You shall set bounds to the people all around, saying, 'Be careful that you don't go up onto the mountain, or touch its border. Whoever touches the mountain shall be surely put to death.

13 No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot through; whether it is animal or man, he shall not live.' When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mountain."

14 Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.

15 He said to the people, "Be ready by the third day. Don't have sexual relations with a woman."

16 It happened on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain, and the sound of an exceedingly loud trumpet; and all the people who were in the camp trembled.

17 Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the lower part of the mountain.

18 Mount Sinai, all it, smoked, because Yahweh descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.

19 When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.

20 Yahweh came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. Yahweh called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

21 Yahweh said to Moses, "Go down, warn the people, lest they break through to Yahweh to gaze, and many of them perish.

22 Let the priests also, who come near to Yahweh, sanctify themselves, lest Yahweh break forth on them."

23 Moses said to Yahweh, "The people can't come up to Mount Sinai, for you warned us, saying, 'Set bounds around the mountain, and sanctify it.'"

24 Yahweh said to him, "Go down and you shall bring Aaron up with you, but don't let the priests and the people break through to come up to Yahweh, lest he break forth on them."

25 So Moses went down to the people, and told them.
