Studie

   

1 Εσηκωθησαν δε απο Αιλειμ· και ηλθον πασα η συναγωγη των υιων Ισραηλ εις την ερημον Σιν, την μεταξυ Αιλειμ και Σινα, την δεκατην πεμπτην ημεραν του δευτερου μηνος αφου εξηλθον εκ γης Αιγυπτου.

2 Και εγογγυζε πασα η συναγωγη των υιων Ισραηλ κατα του Μωυσεως και κατα του Ααρων εν τη ερημω.

3 Και ειπον προς αυτους οι υιοι Ισραηλ, Ειθε να απεθνησκομεν υπο της χειρος του Κυριου εν τη γη της Αιγυπτου, οτε εκαθημεθα πλησιον των λεβητων του κρεατος και οτε ετρωγομεν αρτον εις χορτασμον· διοτι εξηγαγετε ημας εις την ερημον ταυτην, δια να θανατωσητε με την πειναν πασαν την συναγωγην ταυτην.

4 Και ειπε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην, Ιδου, θελω βρεξει εις εσας αρτον εξ ουρανου· και θελει εξερχεσθαι ο λαος και συναγει καθ' ημεραν το αρκουν της ημερας, δια να δοκιμασω αυτους, αν θελωσι περιπατει εις τον νομον μου η ουχι·

5 την δε εκτην ημεραν ας ετοιμαζωσιν εκεινο το οποιον ηθελον εισαγαγει, και ας ηναι διπλασιον του οσον συναγουσι καθ' ημεραν.

6 Και ειπον ο Μωυσης και ο Ααρων προς παντας τους υιους Ισραηλ, Το εσπερας θελετε γνωρισει οτι ο Κυριος εξηγαγεν υμας εκ γης Αιγυπτου·

7 και το πρωι θελετε ιδει την δοξαν του Κυριου, διοτι ηκουσε τους γογγυσμους σας εναντιον του Κυριου· επειδη ημεις τι ειμεθα, ωστε να γογγυζητε καθ' ημων;

8 Και ειπεν ο Μωυσης, Τουτο θελει γεινει, οταν ο Κυριος δωση εις εσας το εσπερας κρεας να φαγητε και το πρωι αρτον εις χορτασμον· διοτι ηκουσε Κυριος τους γογγυσμους σας τους οποιους γογγυζετε κατ' αυτου· και τι ειμεθα ημεις; οι γογγυσμοι σας δεν ειναι καθ' ημων, αλλα κατα του Κυριου.

9 Και ειπεν ο Μωυσης προς τον Ααρων, Ειπε προς πασαν την συναγωγην των υιων Ισραηλ, Πλησιασατε εμπροσθεν του Κυριου· διοτι ηκουσε τους γογγυσμους σας.

10 Και ενω ελαλει ο Ααρων προς πασαν την συναγωγην των υιων Ισραηλ, εστρεψαν το προσωπον προς την ερημον, και ιδου, η δοξα του Κυριου εφανη εν τη νεφελη.

11 Και ελαλησε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην, λεγων,

12 Ηκουσα τους γογγυσμους των υιων Ισραηλ· λαλησον προς αυτους, λεγων, Το εσπερας θελετε φαγει κρεας, και το πρωι θελετε χορτασθη απο αρτου, και θελετε γνωρισει οτι εγω ειμαι Κυριος ο Θεος σας.

13 Και το εσπερας ανεβησαν ορτυκια και εσκεπασαν το στρατοπεδον· και το πρωι καθ' ολα τα περιξ του στρατοπεδου ητο στρωμα δροσου.

14 Και αφου το στρωμα της δροσου ανεβη, ιδου, επι το προσωπον της ερημου ητο λεπτον τι στρογγυλον, λεπτον ως παχνη επι της γης.

15 Και οτε ειδον οι υιοι Ισραηλ, ειπον προς αλληλους, Τι ειναι τουτο; διοτι δεν ηξευρον τι ητο. Και ο Μωυσης ειπε προς αυτους, Ουτος ειναι ο αρτος, τον οποιον ο Κυριος σας διδει δια να φαγητε·

16 ουτος ειναι ο λογος τον οποιον προσεταξεν ο Κυριος, Συναξατε εξ αυτου εκαστος οσον χρειαζεται δια να φαγη, εν γομορ κατα κεφαλην, κατα τον αριθμον των ψυχων σας· λαβετε εκαστος δια τους ομοσκηνους αυτου.

17 Και εκαμον ουτως οι υιοι Ισραηλ, και συνηγαγον αλλος πολυ και αλλος ολιγον.

18 Και οτε εμετρησαν με το γομορ, οστις ειχε συναξει πολυ, δεν ελαμβανε πλειοτερον· και οστις ειχε συναξει ολιγον, δεν ελαμβανεν ολιγωτερον· εκαστος ελαμβανεν οσον εχρειαζετο εις αυτον δια τροφην.

19 ειπε δε προς αυτους ο Μωυσης, Ας μη αφινη εξ αυτου μηδεις υπολοιπον εως πρωι.

20 Πλην δεν υπηκουσαν εις τον Μωυσην· αλλα αφηκαν τινες υπολοιπον εξ αυτου εως πρωι, και εγεννησε σκωληκας και εβρωμησε· και εθυμωθη εναντιον αυτων ο Μωυσης.

21 Και συνηγον αυτο καθ' εκαστην πρωιαν, εκαστος οσον εχρειαζετο δια τροφην αυτου· και οτε ο ηλιος εθερμαινε, διελυετο.

22 Την δε εκτην ημεραν συνηγαγον τροφην διπλασιαν, δυο γομορ δι' ενα· και ηλθον παντες οι αρχοντες της συναγωγης και ανηγγειλαν τουτο προς τον Μωυσην.

23 Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους, Τουτο ειναι το οποιον ειπε Κυριος· Αυριον ειναι σαββατον, αναπαυσις αγια εις τον Κυριον· ψησατε ο, τι εχετε να ψησητε και βρασατε ο, τι εχετε να βρασητε· και παν το περισσευον εναποταμιευσατε εις εαυτους δια να φυλαττηται εως πρωι.

24 Και εναπεταμιευσαν αυτο εως πρωι, καθως προσεταξεν ο Μωυσης· και δεν εβρωμησεν ουδε εγεινε σκωληξ εν αυτω.

25 Και ειπεν ο Μωυσης, Φαγετε αυτο σημερον· διοτι σημερον ειναι σαββατον εις τον Κυριον· σημερον δεν θελετε ευρει αυτο εν τη πεδιαδι·

26 εξ ημερας θελετε συναγει αυτο· εν τη εβδομη ομως ημερα, τω σαββατω, εν ταυτη δεν θελει ευρισκεσθαι.

27 Τινες δε εκ του λαου εξηλθον την εβδομην ημεραν δια να συναξωσι, πλην δεν ευρον.

28 Και ειπε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην, Εως ποτε δεν θελετε να φυλαττητε τας εντολας μου και τους νομους μου;

29 ιδετε οτι ο Κυριος εδωκεν εις εσας το σαββατον, δια τουτο την εκτην ημεραν σας διδει αρτον δυο ημερων· καθισατε εκαστος εις τον τοπον αυτου· ας μη εξερχεται μηδεις εκ του τοπου αυτου την εβδομην ημεραν.

30 Και εκαμε καταπαυσιν ο λαος την εβδομην ημεραν.

31 Και εκαλεσεν ο οικος του Ισραηλ το ονομα αυτου Μαν· ητο δε ομοιον με σπορον κοριανδρου λευκον· και η γευσις αυτου ως πλακουντιον με μελι.

32 Και ειπεν ο Μωυσης, Ουτος ειναι ο λογος τον οποιον προσεταξεν ο Κυριος· Γεμισατε εξ αυτου εν γομορ, δια να φυλαττηται εις τας γενεας σας, δια να βλεπωσι τον αρτον με τον οποιον εθρεψα υμας εν τη ερημω, αφου εξηγαγον υμας εκ γης Αιγυπτου.

33 Και ειπεν ο Μωυσης προς τον Ααρων, Λαβε μιαν σταμνον, και βαλε εν αυτη εν γομορ πληρες απο μαννα, και θες αυτην εμπροσθεν του Κυριου, δια να φυλαττηται εις τας γενεας σας.

34 Και εθεσεν αυτην ο Ααρων εμπροσθεν του Μαρτυριου, δια να φυλαττηται, καθως προσεταξεν ο Κυριος εις τον Μωυσην.

35 Και ετρωγον οι υιοι Ισραηλ το μαννα τεσσαρακοντα ετη, εωσου ηλθον εις γην κατοικουμενην· ετρωγον το μαννα, εωσου ηλθον εις τα ορια της γης Χανααν.

36 Το δε γομορ ειναι το δεκατον του εφα.

8407. Oh that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt. That this signifies that it would have been better for them to have been left by the Lord when they were in a state of infestations, is evident from the signification of “oh that,” as being that it would have been better, or would have been preferable; from the signification of “to have died by the hand of Jehovah,” as being for them to have been left by the Lord (in the spiritual sense “to have died” signifies to be in evils and the derivative falsities, consequently to be in damnation, see n. 5407, 6119, 7494; and when it is said “to have died by the hand of Jehovah,” it denotes to be left by the Lord, for they who are left by Him, that is, who leave Him, rush into evils and the derivative falsities, and thus into damnation; that “Jehovah” in the Word denotes the Lord has often been shown above); and from the signification of “the land of Egypt,” as being a state of infestations (see above, n. 8401). (That those who were of the spiritual church, who are represented by the sons of Israel, before they were liberated by the Lord, were infested by those who were in falsities from evil, who are represented by Pharaoh and the Egyptians, see n. 6854, 6914, 7474, 7828, 7932, 8018, 8099, 8159, 8321)

Exodus 16

Studie

   

1 They took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.

2 The whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;

3 and the children of Israel said to them, "We wish that we had died by the hand of Yahweh in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots, when we ate our fill of bread, for you have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger."

4 Then Yahweh said to Moses, "Behold, I will rain bread from the sky for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.

5 It shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall prepare that which they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily."

6 Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, "At evening, then you shall know that Yahweh has brought you out from the land of Egypt;

7 and in the morning, then you shall see the glory of Yahweh; because he hears your murmurings against Yahweh. Who are we, that you murmur against us?"

8 Moses said, "Now Yahweh shall give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you; because Yahweh hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Yahweh."

9 Moses said to Aaron, "Tell all the congregation of the children of Israel, 'Come near before Yahweh, for he has heard your murmurings.'"

10 It happened, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of Yahweh appeared in the cloud.

11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

12 "I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, 'At evening you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread: and you shall know that I am Yahweh your God.'"

13 It happened at evening that quail came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay around the camp.

14 When the dew that lay had gone, behold, on the surface of the wilderness was a small round thing, small as the frost on the ground.

15 When the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, "What is it?" For they didn't know what it was. Moses said to them, "It is the bread which Yahweh has given you to eat."

16 This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded: "Gather of it everyone according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, you shall take it, every man for those who are in his tent."

17 The children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less.

18 When they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack. They gathered every man according to his eating.

19 Moses said to them, "Let no one leave of it until the morning."

20 Notwithstanding they didn't listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul: and Moses was angry with them.

21 They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.

22 It happened that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one, and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.

23 He said to them, "This is that which Yahweh has spoken, 'Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to Yahweh. Bake that which you want to Bake, and boil that which you want to boil; and all that remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning.'"

24 They laid it up until the morning, as Moses asked, and it didn't become foul, neither was there any worm in it.

25 Moses said, "Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to Yahweh. today you shall not find it in the field.

26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none."

27 It happened on the seventh day, that some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.

28 Yahweh said to Moses, "How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?

29 Behold, because Yahweh has given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days. Everyone stay in his place. Let no one go out of his place on the seventh day."

30 So the people rested on the seventh day.

31 The house of Israel called its name Manna, and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey.

32 Moses said, "This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded, 'Let an omer-full of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.'"

33 Moses said to Aaron, "Take a pot, and put an omer-full of manna in it, and lay it up before Yahweh, to be kept throughout your generations."

34 As Yahweh commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

35 The children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.

36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
