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!

682. The name of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Word means nothing other than His acknowledgment and living in accordance with His commandments. For the reason His name has that meaning, see the explanation of the second of the Ten Commandments, 'You are not to take the name of God in vain' [297-299]. This nothing else is meant by the Lord's name in these passages amongst others:

Jesus said,

You will be hated by all nations for my name's sake, Matthew 10:22; 24:9-10.

Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in their midst, Matthew 18:20.

As many as received Him, to them He gave the ability to be sons of God, if they believed in His name, John 1:12.

Many believed in His name, John 2:23.

He who does not believe is already judged, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God, John 3:18.

Those who believe will have life in His name, John 20:31.

You have laboured for the sake of my name, and have not wearied, Revelation 22:3.

[2] Can anyone fail to see that the Lord's name in those passages does not mean merely His name, but acknowledging Him as Redeemer and Saviour, and at the same time obeying Him, and finally having faith in Him? For at baptism a child receives the sign of the cross on his forehead and chest, and this is a sign of his initiation into the acknowledgment and worship of the Lord. One's name also means one's character; the reason is that in the spiritual world everyone is given a name to match his character. So naming someone a Christian means that his character is such that he has from Christ faith in Christ and charity towards the neighbour. This meaning of the name is to be seen in Revelation:

The Son of Man says, You have a few names in Sardis who have not defiled their clothing; and they will walk with me in white clothing, because they are worthy, Revelation 3:4.

Walking with the Son of Man in white clothing means following the Lord, and living in accordance with the truths of His Word.

[3] Name has a similar meaning in John:

Jesus said, The sheep hear my voice, and I call my own sheep by name, and I lead them out; I walk before them, and the sheep follow me, because they know my voice; but they do not follow a stranger, because they do not know strangers' voices, John 10:3-5.

'By name' means by their character as Christians; 'following Him' is hearing His voice, that is, obeying His commandments. All receive this name at baptism, for it is contained in the sign.
