Joshua 4

Studie

   

1 Da nu hele Folket havde tilendebragt Overgangen over Jordan, sagde HE EN til Josua:

2 "Vælg eder tolv Mænd af Folket, een Mand af hver Stamme,

3 og byd dem: Tag eder tolv Sten her, midt i Jordan, hvor Præsterne stod stille, bring dem med over og stil dem på den Plads, hvor I holder ast i Nat!"

4 Så lod Josua de tolv Mænd kalde, som han havde til ede af Israeliterne, een Mand af hver Stamme;

5 og Josua sagde til dem: "Gå foran HE EN eders Guds Ark midt ud i Jordan, og tag så hver EN Sten på Skulderen, svarende til Tallet på Israeliternes Stammer,

6 for at det kan tjene til Tegn iblandt eder. Når eders Børn i Fremtiden spørger: Hvad Betydning har disse Sten for eder?

7 så skal I sige til dem: De betyder, at Jordans Vand standsede foran HE ENs Pagts Ark; da den drog over Jordan, standsede Jordans Vand. Og disse Sten skal være Israeliterne et Mindetegn til evig Tid!"

8 Da gjorde Israeliterne, som Josua bød, og tog tolv Sten midt i Jordan, som HE EN havde sagt til Josua, svarende til Tallet på Israeliternes Stammer, og de bragte dem med over til det Sted, hvor de holdt ast, og stillede dem der.

9 Og tolv Sten rejste Josua midt i Jordan på det Sted, hvor Præsterne, som bar Pagtens Ark, stod stille, og der står de den Dag i Dag.

10 Men Præsterne, som bar Arken, blev stående midt i Jordan, indtil alt, hvad HE EN havde pålagt Josua at sige til Folket, var udført, i Overensstemmelse med alt, hvad Moses havde pålagt Josua; og Folket gik skyndsomt over.

11 Da hele Folket så havde tilendebragt Overgangen, gik HE ENs Ark og Præsterne over og stillede sig foran Folket.

12 Og ubeniterne, Gaditerne og Manasses halve Stamme drog væbnet over i Spidsen for Israeliterne, som Moses havde sagt til dem;

13 henved 40000 Mand i Tal, rustede til Strid, drog de foran HE EN over til Jerikos Sletter til Hamp.

14 På den Dag gjorde HE EN Josua stor i hele Israels Øjne, og de frygtede ham alle hans Livs Dage, som de havde frygtet Moses.

15 Da sagde HE EN til Josua:

16 "Byd Præsterne, som bærer Vidnesbyrdets Ark, at stige op fra Jordan!"

17 Og Josua bød Præsterne: "Stig op fra Jordan!"

18 Så steg Præsterne, som bar HE ENs Pagts Ark, op fra Jordan, og næppe havde deres Fødder betrådt det tørre Land, før Jordans Vand vendte tilbage til sit Leje og overalt gik over sine Bredder som før.

19 Og Folket steg op fra Jordan den tiende Dag i den første Måned og slog Lejr i Gilgal ved Østenden af Jerikolandet.

20 Men de tolv Sten, som de havde taget op fra Jordan, rejste Josua i Gilgal,

21 og han sagde til Israeliterne: "Når eders Børn i Fremtiden spørger deres Fædre: Hvad betyder disse Sten?

22 så skal I fortælle eders Børn det og sige: På tør Bund gik Israel over Jordan derhenne;

23 thi HE EN eders Gud lod Jordans Vand tørre bort foran eder, indtil I var kommet over, ligesom HE EN eders Gud gjorde med det røde Hav, som han lod tørre bort foran os, indtil vi var kommet over,

24 for at alle Jordens Folk skal kende, at HE ENs Arm er stærk, at de må frygte HE EN eders Gud alle Dage."

284. The details just quoted about the proclamation of the law, its holiness and power, are to be found in the following passages of the Word. Jehovah came down on Mount Sinai in fire, and the mountain then smoked and shook, there was thunder and lightning, an oppressive cloud and the sound of a trumpet: Exodus 19:16-18; Deuteronomy 4:11; 5:22-26. The people prepared and sanctified themselves for three days before Jehovah came down: Exodus 19:10-11, 15. The mountain was hedged about to prevent anyone approaching its foot and coming near and being killed; not even the priests approached, only Moses: 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 inscribed on two stone tablets, and written by the finger of God: Exodus 31:18; 32:15-16; Deuteronomy 9:10. When Moses carried the tablets down from the mountain the second time, his face shone so that he had to cover his face with a veil when talking with the people: Exodus 34:29-35. The tablets were laid up in the Ark: Exodus 25:16, 40:20; Deuteronomy 10:5; 1 Kings 8:9. The mercy-seat was mounted upon the Ark, and over it were placed cherubim made of gold: Exodus 25:17-21. The Ark together with the mercy-seat and the cherubim was put into the Tabernacle, constituting its first and thus most inward part; the table overlaid with gold, upon which was the bread of the Presence, the incense-altar of gold, and the lamp-stand and lamps of gold, made up the external part of the Tabernacle; the ten curtains of fine linen, purple and scarlet were its outermost part: Exodus 25:1-end; Exodus 26:1-end; Exodus 40:17-28. The place, where the Ark was, was called the Holy of Holies: Exodus 26:33. The whole people of Israel camped around the Tabernacle in the order of their tribes, and set out in order after it: Numbers 2:1-end. There was then a cloud over the Tabernacle by day and fire by night: Exodus 40:38; Numbers 9:15-end; Numbers 14:14; Deuteronomy 1:33. Jehovah spoke with Moses above the Ark, between the cherubim: Exodus 25:22; Numbers 7:89. The Ark was called from the law in it 'Jehovah-is-here'; for Moses said when the Ark set out 'Arise, Jehovah', and when it rested 'Return, Jehovah': Numbers 10:35-36; and further 2 Samuel 6:2 1 ; Psalms 132:7-8. On account of the holiness of the law Aaron was not allowed to go inside the veil, except with sacrifices and incense: Leviticus 16:2-14ff. By the presence of the Lord's power in the law contained in the Ark the waters of Jordan were parted, and the people crossed over on dry land, so long as it rested in the midst: ; 4:5-20. When the Ark was carried round them, the walls of Jericho fell down: Joshua 6:1-20. Dagon, the god of the Philistines, fell to the ground in the presence of the Ark, and afterwards was found lying on the threshold of the shrine with his head torn off and the palms of his hands cut off: 1 Samuel 5. The men of Bethshemesh were smitten because of the Ark to the number of many thousands: 1 Samuel 5, 6. Uzzah was killed by touching the Ark: 2 Samuel 6:7. The Ark was brought into Zion by David with sacrifices and jubilation: 2 Samuel 6:1-19. The Ark was brought by Solomon into the Temple at Jerusalem, where he made its inner shrine: 1 Kings 6:19ff; 1 Kings 8:3-9.

Exodus 20:2-17

Studie

      

2 "I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 "You shall have no other gods before me.

4 "You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

5 you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me,

6 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

7 "You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain, for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.

8 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

9 You shall labor six days, and do all your work,

10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates;

11 for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.

12 "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.

13 "You shall not murder.

14 "You shall not commit adultery.

15 "You shall not steal.

16 "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

17 "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's."
