Exode 24

Studie

   

1 Dieu dit à Moïse: Monte vers l'Eternel, toi et Aaron, Nadab et Abihu, et soixante-dix des anciens d'Israël, et vous vous prosternerez de loin.

2 Moïse s'approchera seul de l'Eternel; les autres ne s'approcheront pas, et le peuple ne montera point avec lui.

3 Moïse vint rapporter au peuple toutes les paroles de l'Eternel et toutes les lois. Le peuple entier répondit d'une même voix: Nous ferons tout ce que l'Eternel a dit.

4 Moïse écrivit toutes les paroles de l'Eternel. Puis il se leva de bon matin; il bâtit un autel au pied de la montagne, et dressa douze pierres pour les douze tribus d'Israël.

5 Il envoya des jeunes hommes, enfants d'Israël, pour offrir à l'Eternel des holocaustes, et immoler des taureaux en sacrifices d'actions de grâces.

6 Moïse prit la moitié du sang, qu'il mit dans des bassins, et il répandit l'autre moitié sur l'autel.

7 Il prit le livre de l'alliance, et le lut en présence du peuple; ils dirent: Nous ferons tout ce que l'Eternel a dit, et nous obéirons.

8 Moïse prit le sang, et il le répandit sur le peuple, en disant: Voici le sang de l'alliance que l'Eternel a faite avec vous selon toutes ces paroles.

9 Moïse monta avec Aaron, Nadab et Abihu, et soixante-dix anciens d'Israël.

10 Ils virent le Dieu d'Israël; sous ses pieds, c'était comme un ouvrage de saphir transparent, comme le ciel lui-même dans sa pureté.

11 Il n'étendit point sa main sur l'élite des enfants d'Israël. Ils virent Dieu, et ils mangèrent et burent.

12 L'Eternel dit à Moïse: Monte vers moi sur la montagne, et reste là; je te donnerai des tables de pierre, la loi et les ordonnances que j'ai écrites pour leur instruction.

13 Moïse se leva, avec Josué qui le servait, et Moïse monta sur la montagne de Dieu.

14 Il dit aux anciens: Attendez-nous ici, jusqu'à ce que nous revenions auprès de vous. Voici, Aaron et Hur resteront avec vous; si quelqu'un a un différend, c'est à eux qu'il s'adressera.

15 Moïse monta sur la montagne, et la nuée couvrit la montagne.

16 La gloire de l'Eternel reposa sur la montagne de Sinaï, et la nuée la couvrit pendant six jours. Le septième jour, l'Eternel appela Moïse du milieu de la nuée.

17 L'aspect de la gloire de l'Eternel était comme un feu dévorant sur le sommet de la montagne, aux yeux des enfants d'Israël.

18 Moïse entra au milieu de la nuée, et il monta sur la montagne. Moïse demeura sur la montagne quarante jours et quarante nuits.

1736. The fact that the Lord is Jehovah, who is here called 'God Most High', is quite clear from the Word: in Isaiah,

Jehovah Zebaoth is His name, and your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, the God of the whole earth He is called. Isaiah 54:5.

Here it is explicitly stated that 'the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel', who is the Lord alone, is 'Jehovah Zebaoth' and 'the God of the whole earth'. In the same prophet,

Thus said Jehovah your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, I am Jehovah your God. Isaiah 48:17.

In the same prophet,

I am helping you, said Jehovah your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 41:14.

The expressions 'the Holy One of Israel' and 'the God of Israel' occur many times. That the Lord is the Holy One of Israel and the God of Israel is quite clear from where it is said that they saw the God of Israel, under whose feet there was so to speak a paved work of sapphire stone, like the substance of the sky for purity, Exodus 24:10.

[2] None other was acknowledged and called Jehovah by the Jewish Church because that Church worshipped the one God Jehovah, and more importantly, because all the religious observances of that Church represented Him -- though the majority did not know this - and because all things in the internal sense of the Word had Him as their meaning. In Isaiah,

He will swallow up death for ever, and the Lord Jehovih will wipe away tears from all faces. And it will be said on that day, Behold, this is our God, we have waited for Him and He will save us. This is Jehovah, whom we have waited for; let us be glad and rejoice in His salvation. Isaiah 25:8-9.

This refers to the Coming of the Lord.

[3] In the same prophet,

Behold, the Lord Jehovih will come with might, and His arm will exercise dominion for Him. He will pasture His flock like a shepherd, He will gather into His arm, He will carry the tiny lambs in His bosom, 1 and will lead those that give suck. Isaiah 40:10-11.

This refers explicitly to the Lord who is 'the Lord Jehovih'. 'He will come with might, and His arm will exercise dominion for Him' stands for the fact that He would by His own power overcome the hells. 'Pasturing the flock', 'gathering into His arm', 'carrying the tiny lambs in His bosom', and 'leading those that give suck' have reference to His love, or mercy.

[4] In the same prophet,

Thus said Jehovah, God Himself who created the heavens, who formed the earth and made it, who Himself established it and created it not an emptiness, and formed it to dwell in: I am Jehovah, and there is none else. Am not I Jehovah and there is no God else besides Me? A just God, and a Saviour, there is none besides Me. Look to Me and be saved, all ends of the earth. For I am God and there is no other. Isaiah 45:18, 21-22.

Here it is explicitly stated that the Lord alone is Jehovah and God. 'To create the heavens and form the earth' is to regenerate, and so 'the Creator of heaven and earth' is the Regenerator, see 16, 88, 472, and elsewhere. This is why the Lord is in various places called Creator, One who forms, and Maker.

[5] In the same prophet,

You are our Father, for Abraham does not know us and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O Jehovah, are our rather, our Redeemer; from of old is Your name. Isaiah 63:15-16.

This refers explicitly to the Lord who alone is the Redeemer. In Moses,

Take notice of His face, 2 and hearken to His voice, lest you provoke Him, for He will not endure your transgression, for My name is in the midst of Him. Exodus 23:21.

'Name' is the essential nature, see 144, 145, while 'in the midst' is the inmost, 1074.

[6] In Isaiah,

To us a Boy is born, to us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. His name will be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, God, Hero, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6-7.

This plainly refers to the Lord. In Jeremiah,

Behold, the days are coming and I will raise up for David a righteous branch and He will reign as King, and act with understanding, and execute judgement and righteousness in the land. In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell with confidence. And this is His name which they will call Him, Jehovah our Righteousness. Jeremiah 23:5-6.

This plainly refers to the Lord. In Zechariah,

Jehovah will be King over all the earth; in that day there will be one Jehovah, and His name one. Zechariah 14:9.

This is plainly a reference to the Lord. 'Name' stands for Essential Nature.
