Exodus 20

Studie

   

1 Ja Jumal kõneles kõik need sõnad, öeldes:

2 'Mina olen Issand, sinu Jumal, kes sind tõi välja Egiptusemaalt, orjusekojast.

3 Sul ei tohi olla muid jumalaid minu palge kõrval!

4 Sa ei tohi enesele teha kuju ega mingisugust pilti sellest, mis on ülal taevas, ega sellest, mis on all maa peal, ega sellest, mis on maa all vees!

5 Sa ei tohi neid kummardada ega neid teenida, sest mina, Issand, sinu Jumal, olen püha vihaga Jumal, kes vanemate süü nuhtleb laste kätte kolmanda ja neljanda põlveni neile, kes mind vihkavad,

6 aga kes heldust osutab tuhandeile neile, kes mind armastavad ja mu käske peavad!

7 Sa ei tohi Issanda, oma Jumala nime asjata suhu võtta, sest Issand ei jäta seda nuhtlemata, kes tema nime asjata suhu võtab!

8 Pea meeles, et sa pead hingamispäeva pühitsema!

9 Kuus päeva tee tööd ja toimeta kõiki oma talitusi,

10 aga seitsmes päev on Issanda, sinu Jumala hingamispäev. Siis sa ei tohi toimetada ühtegi talitust, ei sa ise ega su poeg ja tütar, ega su sulane ja teenija, ega su veoloom ega võõras, kes su väravais on!

11 Sest kuue päevaga tegi Issand taeva ja maa, mere ja kõik, mis neis on, ja ta hingas seitsmendal päeval: seepärast Issand õnnistas hingamispäeva ja pühitses selle.

12 Sa pead oma isa ja ema austama, et su elupäevi pikendataks sellel maal, mille Issand, su Jumal, sulle annab!

13 Sa ei tohi tappa!

14 Sa ei tohi abielu rikkuda!

15 Sa ei tohi varastada!

16 Sa ei tohi tunnistada oma ligimese vastu valetunnistajana!

17 Sa ei tohi himustada oma ligimese koda! Sa ei tohi himustada oma ligimese naist, sulast ega teenijat, härga ega eeslit ega midagi, mis su ligimese päralt on!'

18 Ja kogu rahvas kuulis ja nägi müristamist, tuleleeke, sarvehäält ja mäe suitsemist. Kui rahvas seda nägi, siis ta vabises ja jäi eemale seisma.

19 Ja nad ütlesid Moosesele: 'Räägi sina meiega, siis me kuulame! Ainult ärgu Jumal meiega rääkigu, et me ei sureks!'

20 Aga Mooses vastas rahvale: 'Ärge kartke, sest Jumal on tulnud teid katsuma, et teil oleks tema kartus silme ees, selleks et te pattu ei teeks!'

21 Ja rahvas püsis eemal; aga Mooses ligines pimedusele, kus oli Jumal.

22 Ja Issand ütles Moosesele: 'Ütle Iisraeli lastele nõnda: Te nägite, et ma taevast teiega rääkisin.

23 Minu kõrvale ei tohi te midagi teha: te ei tohi enestele teha hõbe- ja kuldjumalaid!

24 Tee mulle mullast altar ja ohverda selle peal oma põletus- ja tänuohvreid, oma lambaid, kitsi ja veiseid! Kõigis paigus, kus ma käsin oma nime kuulutada, tulen ma sinu juurde ja õnnistan sind.

25 Aga kui sa teed mulle kivialtari, siis ära ehita seda tahutud kividest, sest peitliga raiudes sa rüvetad selle!

26 Ja ära astu mu altari juurde üles astmeid mööda, et su ihu selle ees ei paljastuks!

8862. The reason why 'the words which God spoke' means God's truths for those in heaven and for those on earth is that the Ten Commandments or Decalogue, and then the statutes, declared and commanded from Mount Sinai, are truths such as are intended not only for those who are on earth but also for those who are in heaven. All the words, that is, all the truths that come from the Lord are not merely for people in the world but also at the same time for angels; for they pass through heaven and thereby to earth. But they do not sound the same in heaven as they do on earth, because there they exist in a spiritual form, whereas on earth they exist in natural form. What they are like in their spiritual form compared with what they are in their natural form is clear from the internal sense and the external sense of the particular things in the Word. In the internal sense they are spiritual matters, but in the external sense, which is the sense of the letter, they are natural ones. The latter have been made suitable for those on earth, but the former for those in heaven.

[2] The truth of this may be seen from the consideration that the Word, sent by the Divine Himself, has passed from Him through heaven to earth. When it reaches earth it is truth made suitable for the human race, which lives amid earthly and bodily things. But as it exists in heaven it is made suitable for angels, who live amid spiritual and celestial things. Because it is like this the Word is in itself holy; for it contains what is heavenly and Divine within it. This is perfectly clear from the Ten Commandments. Anyone can see that those commandments are the kind of laws that are well known everywhere on earth - that one should honour parents, that one should not kill, commit adultery, or steal, and that people should not answer as false witnesses. Consequently the Israelite nation could have known these laws from natural enlightenment alone; for is there any nation that does not know them? And yet Jehovah Himself came down to declare them; and He declared them out of fire that was burning 'even to the heart of heaven'. 1 From this it becomes clear that those commandments contain more within them than is apparent in the letter; that is to say, they contain truths such as are intended at the same time for heaven and which fill heaven. Everything in the Word is like this since it comes from the Divine. All this shows why the Word is holy and what should be understood by statements about the inspiration of the Word even to every jot and tattle, and to every small part of a letter, Matthew 5:18; Luke 16:17. The nature therefore of the Ten Commandments in the spiritual sense, that is, as they exist in heaven, will be seen in what is to follow.
