2 Mose 40

Studie

   

1 Und Jehova redete zu Mose und sprach:

2 Am Tage des ersten Monats, am Ersten des Monats, sollst du die Wohnung des Zeltes der Zusammenkunft aufrichten.

3 Und du sollst die Lade des Zeugnisses darein stellen und die Lade mit dem Vorhang verdecken.

4 Und bringe den Tisch hinein und richte zu, was auf ihm zuzurichten ist; und bringe den Leuchter hinein und zünde seine Lampen an.

5 Und stelle den goldenen Altar zum Räucherwerk vor die Lade des Zeugnisses, und hänge den Vorhang des Eingangs zur Wohnung auf.

6 Und stelle den Brandopferaltar vor den Eingang der Wohnung des Zeltes der Zusammenkunft.

7 Und stelle das Becken zwischen das Zelt der Zusammenkunft und den Altar, und tue Wasser darein.

8 Und richte den Vorhof auf ringsum und hänge den Vorhang vom Tore des Vorhofs auf.

9 Und nimm das Salböl und salbe die Wohnung und alles, was darin ist, und heilige sie und alle ihre Geräte; und sie soll heilig sein.

10 Und salbe den Brandopferaltar und alle seine Geräte, und heilige den Altar; und der Altar soll hochheilig sein.

11 Und salbe das Becken und sein Gestell, und heilige es.

12 Und laß Aaron und seine Söhne herzunahen an den Eingang des Zeltes der Zusammenkunft und wasche sie mit Wasser.

13 Und bekleide Aaron mit den heiligen Kleidern und salbe ihn und heilige ihn, daß er mir den Priesterdienst ausübe.

14 Und seine Söhne sollst du herzunahen lassen und sie mit den Leibröcken bekleiden.

15 Und du sollst sie salben, so wie du ihren Vater gesalbt hast, daß sie mir den Priesterdienst ausüben. Und ihre Salbung soll geschehen, um ihnen zu einem ewigen Priestertum zu sein bei ihren Geschlechtern.

16 Und Mose tat es; nach allem, was Jehova ihm geboten hatte, also tat er.

17 Und es geschah im ersten Monat, im zweiten Jahre, am Ersten des Monats, da wurde die Wohnung aufgerichtet.

18 Und Mose richtete die Wohnung auf und setzte ihre Füße und stellte ihre Bretter auf und setzte ihre Riegel ein und richtete ihre Säulen auf;

19 und er breitete das Zelt über die Wohnung und legte die Decke des Zeltes oben darüber: so wie Jehova dem Mose geboten hatte.

20 Und er nahm das Zeugnis und legte es in die Lade und tat die Stangen an die Lade und legte den Deckel auf die Lade, oben darauf;

21 und er brachte die Lade in die Wohnung und hing den Scheidevorhang auf und verdeckte die Lade des Zeugnisses: so wie Jehova dem Mose geboten hatte.

22 Und er setzte den Tisch in das Zelt der Zusammenkunft an die Seite der Wohnung gegen Norden, außerhalb des Vorhangs;

23 und er richtete darauf eine Brotschicht zu vor Jehova: so wie Jehova dem Mose geboten hatte.

24 Und er stellte den Leuchter in das Zelt der Zusammenkunft, dem Tische gegenüber, an die Seite der Wohnung gegen Mittag,

25 und er zündete die Lampen an vor Jehova: so wie Jehova dem Mose geboten hatte.

26 Und er stellte den goldenen Altar in das Zelt der Zusammenkunft vor den Vorhang

27 und räucherte darauf wohlriechendes Räucherwerk: so wie Jehova dem Mose geboten hatte.

28 Und er hing den Vorhang des Eingangs zur Wohnung auf.

29 Und den Brandopferaltar stellte er an den Eingang der Wohnung des Zeltes der Zusammenkunft, und er opferte darauf das Brandopfer und das Speisopfer: so wie Jehova dem Mose geboten hatte.

30 Und er stellte das Becken zwischen das Zelt der Zusammenkunft und den Altar und tat Wasser darein zum Waschen.

31 Und Mose und Aaron und seine Söhne wuschen daraus ihre Hände und ihre Füße;

32 wenn sie in das Zelt der Zusammenkunft hineingingen und wenn sie dem Altar nahten, wuschen sie sich, so wie Jehova dem Mose geboten hatte.

33 Und er richtete den Vorhof auf, rings um die Wohnung und um den Altar und hing den Vorhang vom Tore des Vorhofs auf. Und so vollendete Mose das Werk.

34 Und die Wolke bedeckte das Zelt der Zusammenkunft, und die Herrlichkeit Jehovas erfüllte die Wohnung.

35 Und Mose konnte nicht in das Zelt der Zusammenkunft hineingehen; denn die Wolke ruhte darauf, und die Herrlichkeit Jehovas erfüllte die Wohnung.

36 Und wenn die Wolke sich von der Wohnung erhob, so brachen die Kinder Israel auf, auf allen ihren Zügen.

37 Und wenn die Wolke sich nicht erhob, so brachen sie nicht auf, bis zu dem Tage, da sie sich erhob.

38 Denn die Wolke Jehovas war des Tages auf der Wohnung, und des Nachts war ein Feuer darin vor den Augen des ganzen Hauses Israel, auf allen ihren Zügen.

6723. 'And she took [for him] a box made of rush' means a container which, though crude, was nevertheless derived from truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'a box' or little ark as that which is a container or in which something is enclosed, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'rush' as that which is crude but nevertheless is derived from truth. The fact that 'rush' refers to something crude is self-evident; and the reason why it refers to something derived from truth is that 'rush' has that meaning, as is plain in Isaiah,

Woe to the land overshadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Cush, which sends ambassadors to the sea, and in vessels made of rush on the face of the waters! Isaiah 18:1-2.

'The land overshadowing with wings' stands for the Church which brings darkness to itself through the use of reasonings based on factual knowledge. 'Beyond the rivers of Cush' stands for turning to cognitions that are used to confirm false assumptions, 1164. 'Sending ambassadors to the sea' stands for resorting to factual knowledge, 28. 'In vessels made of rush over the face of the waters' stands for very crude receptacles of truth.

[2] The expression is used in the contrary sense in the same prophet,

The dry place will become a pond and the thirsty ground wellsprings of water; [there will be] grass instead of reed and rush. Isaiah 35:7.

'Grass instead of reed and rush' stands for the fact that there will be factual knowledge containing truth instead of such things as hold no truth within them. The meaning of 'grass' as factual knowledge containing truth is evident from places in the Word in which the expression appears.

[3] Since it had been preordained that Moses should represent the Lord in respect of the law of God or the Word, in particular the historical part of the Word, the incident therefore took place in which, when he was an infant, he was put in a box or little ark, though a crude one because that law was in its very earliest beginnings and because there was merely a representative of it lying there in the ark. But later on the real law of God, after it had flashed from Mount Sinai, was put in an ark, called the Ark of the Testimony. For the fact that the law of God was put inside the ark, see Exodus 40:20; 1 Kings 8:9, also the Books of Moses [placed to the side of it], Deuteronomy 31:24-26.

[4] The ark was therefore most holy because it represented the Lord's Divine Human in respect of the Divine Law; for from the Lord's Divine Human radiates the Divine Law or Divine Truth, which is the same as the Word spoken of in John,

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the Only Begotten from the Father. John 1:1, 14.

And since the ark represented something so very holy, the mercy seat with the cherubim was placed over the ark, and next to the veil concealing it there was the lampstand with lamps and the table of gold with loaves, both of which were signs of the Divine Love. This then is the reason why Moses, because he represented the law of God, was put in a little ark when he was an infant.

Exodus 2

Studie

   

1 A man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi as his wife.

2 The woman conceived, and bore a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months.

3 When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus basket for him, and coated it with tar and with pitch. She put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river's bank.

4 His sister stood far off, to see what would be done to him.

5 Pharaoh's daughter came down to bathe at the river. Her maidens walked along by the riverside. She saw the basket among the reeds, and sent her handmaid to get it.

6 She opened it, and saw the child, and behold, the baby cried. She had compassion on him, and said, "This is one of the Hebrews' children."

7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, "Should I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?"

8 Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Go." The maiden went and called the child's mother.

9 Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Take this child away, and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages." The woman took the child, and nursed it.

10 The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, and said, "Because I drew him out of the water."

11 It happened in those days, when Moses had grown up, that he went out to his brothers, and looked at their burdens. He saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his brothers.

12 He looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no one, he killed the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.

13 He went out the second day, and behold, two men of the Hebrews were fighting with each other. He said to him who did the wrong, "Why do you strike your fellow?"

14 He said, "Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you plan to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian?" Moses was afraid, and said, "Surely this thing is known."

15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and lived in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well.

16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. They came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.

17 The shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.

18 When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, "How is it that you have returned so early today?"

19 They said, "An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock."

20 He said to his daughters, "Where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread."

21 Moses was content to dwell with the man. He gave Moses Zipporah, his daughter.

22 She bore a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, "I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land."

23 It happened in the course of those many days, that the king of Egypt died, and the children of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.

24 God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

25 God saw the children of Israel, and God was concerned about them.
