Exode 33

Studie

   

1 L'Eternel dit à Moïse: Va, pars d'ici, toi et le peuple que tu as fait sortir du pays d'Egypte; monte vers le pays que j'ai juré de donner à Abraham, à Isaac et à Jacob, en disant: Je le donnerai à ta postérité.

2 J'enverrai devant toi un ange, et je chasserai les Cananéens, les Amoréens, les Héthiens, les Phéréziens, les Héviens et les Jébusiens.

3 Monte vers ce pays où coulent le lait et le miel. Mais je ne monterai point au milieu de toi, de peur que je ne te consume en chemin, car tu es un peuple au cou roide.

4 Lorsque le peuple eut entendu ces sinistres paroles, il fut dans la désolation, et personne ne mit ses ornements.

5 Et l'Eternel dit à Moïse: Dis aux enfants d'Israël: Vous êtes un peuple au cou roide; si je montais un seul instant au milieu de toi, je te consumerais. Ote maintenant tes ornements de dessus toi, et je verrai ce que je te ferai.

6 Les enfants d'Israël se dépouillèrent de leurs ornements, en s'éloignant du mont Horeb.

7 Moïse prit la tente et la dressa hors du camp, à quelque distance; il l'appela tente d'assignation; et tous ceux qui consultaient l'Eternel allaient vers la tente d'assignation, qui était hors du camp.

8 Lorsque Moïse se rendait à la tente, tout le peuple se levait; chacun se tenait à l'entrée de sa tente, et suivait des yeux Moïse, jusqu'à ce qu'il fût entré dans la tente.

9 Et lorsque Moïse était entré dans la tente, la colonne de nuée descendait et s'arrêtait à l'entrée de la tente, et l'Eternel parlait avec Moïse.

10 Tout le peuple voyait la colonne de nuée qui s'arrêtait à l'entrée de la tente, tout le peuple se levait et se prosternait à l'entrée de sa tente.

11 L'Eternel parlait avec Moïse face à face, comme un homme parle à son ami. Puis Moïse retournait au camp; mais son jeune serviteur, Josué, fils de Nun, ne sortait pas du milieu de la tente.

12 Moïse dit à l'Eternel: Voici, tu me dis: Fais monter ce peuple! Et tu ne me fais pas connaître qui tu enverras avec moi. Cependant, tu as dit: Je te connais par ton nom, et tu as trouvé grâce à mes yeux.

13 Maintenant, si j'ai trouvé grâce à tes yeux, fais-moi connaître tes voies; alors je te connaîtrai, et je trouverai encore grâce à tes yeux. Considère que cette nation est ton peuple.

14 L'Eternel répondit: Je marcherai moi-même avec toi, et je te donnerai du repos.

15 Moïse lui dit: Si tu ne marches pas toi-même avec nous, ne nous fais point partir d'ici.

16 Comment sera-t-il donc certain que j'ai trouvé grâce à tes yeux, moi et ton peuple? Ne sera-ce pas quand tu marcheras avec nous, et quand nous serons distingués, moi et ton peuple, de tous les peuples qui sont sur la face de la terre?

17 L'Eternel dit à Moïse: Je ferai ce que tu me demandes, car tu as trouvé grâce à mes yeux, et je te connais par ton nom.

18 Moïse dit: Fais-moi voir ta gloire!

19 L'Eternel répondit: Je ferai passer devant toi toute ma bonté, et je proclamerai devant toi le nom de L'Eternel; je fais grâce à qui je fais grâce, et miséricorde à qui je fais miséricorde.

20 L'Eternel dit: Tu ne pourras pas voir ma face, car l'homme ne peut me voir et vivre.

21 L'Eternel dit: Voici un lieu près de moi; tu te tiendras sur le rocher.

22 Quand ma gloire passera, je te mettrai dans un creux du rocher, et je te couvrirai de ma main jusqu'à ce que j'aie passé.

23 Et lorsque je retournerai ma main, tu me verras par derrière, mais ma face ne pourra pas être vue.

Exploring the Meaning of Exodus 33

Napsal(a) New Christian Bible Study Staff

Arcana Coelestia 10523. In this chapter in the internal sense the subject of the Israelitish nation is further continued; but here its quality in respect to worship, thus its quality in respect to those things which are of the church.

From (verses 1 to 6) there is contained: That although they could be in representatives, which are the external things of worship and of the church, still there was not with them anything Divine, because not anything internal.

From (verses 7 to 17): That in the worship itself, regarded in itself, thus separate from them, there could be what is Divine.

From (verses 18 to 23): That nevertheless this was not seen nor perceived by them.

10523. Exodus 33

1. And Jehovah spoke to Moses, Go! go up from here, you and the people whom you have caused to come up out of the land of Egypt, to the land which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, To your seed I will give it.

2. And I will send an angel before you; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

3. [Go up] to a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in your midst, since you are a stiff-necked people [and] perchance I might consume you on the way.

4. And the people heard this bad news 1 , and mourned; and no one put on his finery 2 .

5. And Jehovah said to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, You are a stiff-necked people; were I for one moment to go up in your midst I would consume you. And now, take off your finery 3 , and I shall know what I am to do to you.

6. And the children of Israel tore away their finery 4 at Mount Horeb.

7. And Moses took a tent and pitched it for himself outside the camp, far from the camp, and called it the tent of meeting. And so it was, that everyone asking Jehovah a question went out to the tent of meeting which was outside the camp.

8. And so it was, when Moses went out to the tent, that all the people rose and stood, each at the door of his tent, and looked after Moses 5 until he had entered the tent.

9. And so it was, when Moses entered the tent, that the pillar of cloud came down, and stood at the door of the tent, and talked to Moses.

10. And all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the door of the tent; and all the people rose, and they bowed down, each at the door of his tent.

11. And Jehovah spoke to Moses face to face, as a man (vir) speaks to his neighbour. And he returned to the camp, and his minister Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not move away from the midst of the tent.

12. And Moses said to Jehovah, See, You say to me, Cause this people to go up; and You have not made known to me whom You will send with me. And You have said, I know you by name, and also you have found grace in My eyes.

13. And now if, I beg You, I have found grace in Your eyes, make Your way known to me, I beg You, and I shall know You, because I have found grace in Your eyes. And consider 6 that this nation is Your people.

14. And He said, My face 7 will go [with you], and I will cause you to rest.

15. And he said to Him, If Your face 7 is not going [before me], do not cause us to go up from here.

16. And how will it ever be made known that I have found grace in Your eyes, I and Your people? Will it not be in Your going with us? And I and Your people will be made more distinguished than all the people who are on the face of the ground.

17. And Jehovah said to Moses, I will also do this thing that you have spoken, since you have found grace in My eyes and I know you by name.

18. And he said, Cause me, I beg You, to see Your glory.

19. And He said, I will cause all My goodness to pass by 8 your face, and I will proclaim the name of Jehovah before you; and I will be gracious to whom I am gracious, and I will show mercy to whom I show mercy.

20. And He said, You cannot see My face, for no one will see Me and live 9 .

21. And Jehovah said, Behold, there is a place by Me, and you shall stand on the rock.

22. And so it will be, as My glory passes through, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock and cover My palm over you until I have passed through.

23. And I will take My palm away, and you will see My back parts; and My face will not be seen.

CONTENTS

The internal sense of this chapter takes the subject of the Israelite nation further; but now the essential nature of the worship among that nation, and so the things there which belong to the Church, is dealt with. Verses 1-6 show that even though the representative forms constituting the external things of worship and the Church could reside among them nothing Divine did so because there was nothing internal. Verses 7-17 show that what was Divine could reside within the actual worship regarded in isolation, thus separately from them. Verses 18-23 show that this was not however visible or perceptible to them.
