Exodus 31

Studie

   

1 HE EN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

2 Se, jeg har kaldet Bezalel, en Søn af Hurs Søn Uri, af Judas Stamme

3 og fyldt ham med Guds Ånd, med Kunstsnilde, Kløgt og Indsigt i alskens Arbejde

4 til at udtænke Kunstværker og til at arbejde i Guld, Sølv og Kobber

5 og med Udskæring af Sten til Indfatning og med Træskærerarbejde, kort sagt til at udføre alskens Arbejde.

6 Og se, jeg har givet ham Oholiab, Ahisamaks Søn, af Dans Stamme til Medhjælper, og alle kunstforstandige Mænds Hjerte har jeg udrustet med Kunstsnilde, for at de kan udføre alt, hvad jeg har pålagt dig,

7 Åbenbaringsteltet, Vidnesbyrdets Ark, Sonedækket derpå og alt Teltets Tilbehør,

8 Bordet med dets Tilbehør, Lysestagen af purt Guld med alt dens Tilbehør, øgelsealteret,

9 Brændofferalteret med alt dets Tilbehør og Vandkummen med dens Fodstykke,

10 Pragtklæderne, de hellige Klæder til Præsten Aron og hans Sønners Klædet til Brug ved Præstetjenesten,

11 Salveolien og den vellugtende øgelse til Helligdommen. Ganske som jeg har pålagt dig, skal de udføre det.

12 HE EN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

13 Du skal tale til Israeliterne og sige: Fremfor alt skal I holde mine Sabbater, thi Sabbaten er et Tegn mellem mig og eder fra Slægt til Slægt, for at I skal kende, at jeg HE EN er den, der helliger eder.

14 I skal holde Sabbaten, thi den skal være eder hellig; den, som vanhelliger den, skal lide Døden, ja enhver, som udfører noget Arbejde på den, det Menneske skal udryddes af sin Slægt.

15 I seks Dage må der arbejdes, men på den syvende Dag skal I holde en fuldkommen Hviledag, helliget HE EN; enhver, som udfører Arbejde på Sabbatsdagen, skal lide Døden.

16 Israeliterne skal holde Sabbaten, så at de fejrer Sabbaten fra Slægt til Slægt som en evig gyldig Pagt:

17 Den skal være et Tegn til alle Tider mellem mig og Israeliterne. Thi i seks Dage gjorde HE EN Himmelen og Jorden, men på den syvende hvilede han og vederkvægede sig.

18 Da han nu var færdig med at tale til Moses på Sinaj Bjerg, overgav han ham Vidnesbyrdets to Tavler, Stentavler, der var beskrevet med Guds Finger.

59. The statements made in 55 above about the proclamation, holiness, and power of the law may be found in the following passages in the Word: Jehovah came down in fire upon Mount Sinai and the mountain smoked and shook; and there was thunder, lightning, thick clouds, and the sound of a trumpet (Exodus 19:16, 18; Deuteronomy 4:11; 5:22-23). Before Jehovah came down, the people spent three days preparing and sanctifying themselves (Exodus 19:10-11, 15). The mountain was fenced off so that no one would approach and come near its base and die; not even priests were allowed near; Moses alone was allowed (Exodus 19:12-13, 20-23; 24:1-2). The law was proclaimed from Mount Sinai (Exodus 20:2-17; Deuteronomy 5:6-21). The law was written on two stone tablets by the finger of God (Exodus 31:18; 32:15-16; Deuteronomy 9:10). When Moses brought the tablets down from the mountain the second time, his face shone (Exodus 34:29-35). The tablets were placed in an ark (Exodus 25:16; 40:20; Deuteronomy 10:5; 1 Kings 8:9). On top of the ark there was a mercy seat, and on the mercy seat were placed angel guardians made of gold (Exodus 25:17-21). The ark, with the mercy seat and the angel guardians, formed the very heart of the tabernacle, while the golden lampstand, the golden altar of incense, and the gilded table for the showbread were placed just outside [the veil], and all these objects were surrounded in turn by the ten curtains of fine linen and purple and scarlet [thread] (Exodus 25:1 to the end; 26:1 to the end; Exodus40:17-28). The area set aside for the ark was called "the most holy place" (Exodus 26:33). The whole Israelite population camped around the dwelling, in a set arrangement tribe by tribe, and traveled behind it in a set sequence (Numbers 2:1 to the end). There was a cloud above the tabernacle in the daytime then, and fire above it at night (Exodus 40:38; Numbers 9:15-16 to the end; 14:14; Deuteronomy 1:33). The Lord spoke with Moses from above the ark, between the angel guardians (Exodus 25:22; Numbers 7:89). Because it contained the law, the ark was called "Jehovah" there: when the ark would set out, Moses would say, "Rise up, Jehovah, " and when it would come to rest he would say, "Return, Jehovah" (Numbers 10:35-36; see also 2 Samuel 6:2 and Psalms 132:7-8). Because of the holiness of the law, Aaron was not allowed to go behind the veil without sacrifices and incense (Leviticus 16:2-14 and following). David brought the ark into Zion with sacrifices and rejoicing (2 Samuel 6:1-19). At that time Uzzah died because he touched the ark (2 Samuel 6:6-7). [Solomon] placed the ark at the center of the Jerusalem temple, where he had made an inner sanctuary for it (1 Kings 6:19 and following; 8:3-9). Because of the Lord's presence and power in the law that was in the ark, the waters of the Jordan were cut off; and as long as the ark rested in its midst, the people crossed over on dry ground (Joshua 3:1-17; 4:5-20). The walls of Jericho fell because the ark was carried around them (Joshua 6:1-20). Dagon, the god of the Philistines, fell to the earth before the ark and later lay on the threshold of the shrine with its head broken off (1 Samuel 5:1-4). Tens of thousands of the people of Beth-shemesh were struck down because of the ark (1 Samuel 6:19).
