Eliro 20

Studie

   

1 Kaj Dio diris cxiujn sekvantajn vortojn:

2 Mi estas la Eternulo, via Dio, kiu elkondukis vin el la lando Egipta, el la domo de sklaveco.

3 Ne ekzistu cxe vi aliaj dioj antaux Mi.

4 Ne faru al vi idolon, nek bildon de io, kio estas en la cxielo supre aux sur la tero malsupre aux en la akvo sub la tero;

5 ne klinigxu antaux ili kaj ne servu ilin; cxar Mi, la Eternulo, via Dio, estas Dio severa, kiu la malbonagon de la patroj punas sur la idoj en la tria kaj kvara generacioj cxe Miaj malamantoj,

6 kaj kiu faras favorkorajxon por miloj al Miaj amantoj kaj al la plenumantoj de Miaj ordonoj.

7 Ne malbonuzu la nomon de la Eternulo, via Dio; cxar la Eternulo ne lasos senpuna tiun, kiu malbonuzas Lian nomon.

8 Memoru pri la tago sabata, ke vi tenu gxin sankta.

9 Dum ses tagoj laboru kaj faru cxiujn viajn aferojn;

10 sed la sepa tago estas sabato de la Eternulo, via Dio; faru nenian laboron, nek vi, nek via filo, nek via filino, nek via sklavo, nek via sklavino, nek via bruto, nek via fremdulo, kiu estas inter viaj pordegoj;

11 cxar dum ses tagoj la Eternulo kreis la cxielon kaj la teron, la maron, kaj cxion, kio estas en ili, sed en la sepa tago Li ripozis. Tial la Eternulo benis la tagon sabatan kaj sanktigis gxin.

12 Respektu vian patron kaj vian patrinon, por ke longe dauxru via vivo sur la tero, kiun la Eternulo, via Dio, donas al vi.

13 Ne mortigu.

14 Ne adultu.

15 Ne sxtelu.

16 Ne parolu kontraux via proksimulo malveran ateston.

17 Ne deziru la domon de via proksimulo; ne deziru la edzinon de via proksimulo, nek lian sklavon, nek lian sklavinon, nek lian bovon, nek lian azenon, nek ion, kio apartenas al via proksimulo.

18 Kaj la tuta popolo vidis la tondrojn kaj la fulmojn kaj la sonadon de la korno kaj la fumigxadon de la monto; kaj la popolo vidis, kaj retirigxis kun teruro kaj starigxis malproksime.

19 Kaj ili diris al Moseo:Parolu vi kun ni, kaj ni auxskultos, sed Dio ne parolu kun ni, por ke ni ne mortu.

20 Kaj Moseo diris al la popolo:Ne timu; cxar por vin elprovi venis Dio, kaj por ke la timo antaux Li estu antaux via vizagxo, por ke vi ne peku.

21 Kaj la popolo staris malproksime; sed Moseo alproksimigxis al la mallumo, kie estis Dio.

22 Kaj la Eternulo diris al Moseo:Tiel diru al la Izraelidoj:Vi vidis, kiel Mi parolis kun vi el la cxielo.

23 Ne faru antaux Mi diojn argxentajn, kaj diojn orajn ne faru al vi.

24 Altaron el tero faru al Mi, kaj oferu sur gxi viajn bruloferojn kaj pacoferojn, viajn sxafojn kaj viajn bovojn; sur cxiu loko, kie Mi memorigos Mian nomon, Mi venos al vi kaj benos vin.

25 Kaj se vi faros al Mi altaron el sxtonoj, ne konstruu gxin el sxtonoj hakitaj; cxar se vi levos sur gxin vian hakilon, vi gxin malsanktigos.

26 Kaj ne supreniru per sxtupoj al Mia altaro, por ke ne malkovrigxu via nudeco antaux gxi.

4289. 'Let me go, for the dawn is coming up' means that the genuine representative role would depart from the descendants of Jacob before they entered into the representatives connected with the land of Canaan. This becomes clear from the train of thought in the internal historical sense in which the descendants of Jacob are the subject. Their state in regard to things of the Church is also described in the Word as evening, night, and morning or dawn - dawn being used to describe the time when they entered the land of Canaan and as a consequence into that which was a representative of the Church in that land. The implications of this are as follows: A representative of the Church could not be established among them until they had been completely vastated, that is, until no knowledge of internal things existed with them. For if knowledge of internal things had existed with them it would have been possible for them to have an affection for them, in which case they would have profaned them. For the ability to profane holy things, that is, internal truths and goods, exists with those who know and acknowledge them, more so with those who have an affection for them, but not with those who do not acknowledge them. But see what has been stated and shown already about profanation:

People who know and acknowledge holy things are able to profane them, but not those who do not know and acknowledge them, 593, 1008, 1010, 1059, 3398, 3898.

People inside the Church are capable of profaning holy things, but not those outside, 2051.

Therefore all who are unable to remain steadfast in goodness and truth are kept as far as possible from an acknowledgement of and faith in them, 3398, 3402; and they are kept in ignorance to prevent their profanation of them, 301-303.

What danger comes from profaning holy things, 571, 582.

Worship becomes external to prevent what is internal being profaned, 1327, 1328.

Therefore internal truths were not disclosed to the Jews, 3398.

[2] The Lord therefore made provision so that anything genuinely representative of the Church, that is, any internal representation of it, would have departed from the descendants of Jacob before they entered into the representatives connected with the land of Canaan. It so departed that they did not know anything at all about the Lord. They knew, it is true, that the Messiah was to come into the world, but they supposed that the reason for His coming would be to promote them to glory and pre-eminence over all nations in the whole world, but not that He would save their souls for ever. Neither indeed did they know anything whatever about the heavenly kingdom, nor anything about the life after death, nor even anything about charity and faith. To reduce them to such ignorance they were kept for several centuries in Egypt, and when summoned from there did not even know the actual name Jehovah, Exodus 3:12-14. What is more, they had lost all the worship of the representative Church, so much so that a month after the Ten Commandments had been publicly declared in their presence from mount Sinai they reverted to Egyptian worship, which was that of the golden calf, Exodus 32.

[3] And this being the nature of the nation which had been brought out of Egypt they all died in the wilderness. For nothing more was required of them than to keep ordinances and commands in the outward form these took, because to keep these in their outward form was to play the part of a representative of the Church. Those who had grown up in Egypt however could not be fitted for that part, but their children could, though with difficulty, at first by means of miracles and after that by terrors and captivities, as is evident from the Books of Joshua and Judges. From this it becomes clear that the entire genuine or internal representative of the Church had departed from them before they entered the land of Canaan where the full form of an external representative of the Church was begun among them; for the land of Canaan was the actual land where the representatives of the Church could be introduced. For all the places and all the boundaries had, since ancient times, been representative in that land, see 3686.
