Εξοδος πλήθους 33

Studie

   

1 Και ειπε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην, Υπαγε, αναβηθι εντευθεν συ και ο λαος τον οποιον εξηγαγες εκ γης Αιγυπτου, εις την γην την οποιαν ωμοσα προς τον Αβρααμ, προς τον Ισαακ και προς τον Ιακωβ, λεγων, Εις το σπερμα σου θελω δωσει αυτην·

2 και θελω αποστειλει αγγελον εμπροσθεν σου και θελω εκδιωξει τον Χαναναιον, τον Αμορραιον και τον Χετταιον και τον Φερεζαιον τον Ευαιον και τον Ιεβουσαιον·

3 εις γην ρεουσαν γαλα και μελι διοτι εγω δεν θελω αναβη εν τω μεσω σου, επειδη εισαι λαος σκληροτραχηλος, δια να μη σε εξολοθρευσω καθ' οδον.

4 Και οτε ηκουσεν ο λαος τον κακον τουτον λογον, κατεπενθησαν και ουδεις εβαλε τον στολισμον αυτου εφ' εαυτον.

5 Διοτι ο Κυριος ειπε προς τον Μωυσην, Ειπε προς τους υιους Ισραηλ, Σεις εισθε λαος σκληροτραχηλος· μιαν στιγμην εαν αναβω εις το μεσον σου, θελω σε εξολοθρευσει· οθεν τωρα εκδυθητι τους στολισμους σου απο σου, δια να γνωρισω τι θελω καμει εις σε.

6 Και εξεδυθησαν οι υιοι του Ισραηλ τους στολισμους αυτων πλησιον του ορους Χωρηβ.

7 Και λαβων ο Μωυσης την σκηνην, εστησεν αυτην εξω του στρατοπεδου, μακραν του στρατοπεδου, και ωνομασεν αυτην Σκηνην του μαρτυριου· και πας ο ζητων τον Κυριον εξηρχετο προς την σκηνην του μαρτυριου την εξω του στρατοπεδου.

8 Και οτε εξηρχετο ο Μωυσης προς την σκηνην, πας ο λαος εσηκονετο και ιστατο εκαστος παρα την θυραν της σκηνης αυτου και εβλεπον κατοπιν του Μωυσεως, εωσου εισηρχετο εις την σκηνην.

9 Και καθως εισηρχετο ο Μωυσης εις την σκηνην, κατεβαινεν ο στυλος της νεφελης και ιστατο επι των θυρων της σκηνης· και ελαλει ο Κυριος μετα του Μωυσεως.

10 Και εβλεπε πας ο λαος τον στυλον της νεφελης ισταμενον επι των θυρων της σκηνης· και πας ο λαος ανισταμενος προσεκυνει, εκαστος απο της θυρας της σκηνης αυτου.

11 Και ελαλει ο Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην προσωπον προς προσωπον, καθως λαλει ανθρωπος προς τον φιλον αυτου. Και επεστρεφεν εις το στρατοπεδον· ο δε θεραπων αυτου νεος, Ιησους ο υιος του Ναυη, δεν ανεχωρει απο της σκηνης.

12 Και ειπεν ο Μωυσης προς τον Κυριον, Ιδε, συ μοι λεγεις, Αναγαγε τον λαον τουτον· και συ δεν με εφανερωσας ποιον θελεις αποστειλει μετ' εμου· και συ ειπας, σε γνωριζω κατ' ονομα, και μαλιστα ευρηκας χαριν εμπροσθεν μου·

13 τωρα λοιπον, εαν ευρηκα χαριν εμπροσθεν σου, δειξον μοι, δεομαι, την οδον σου, δια να σε γνωρισω, δια να ευρω χαριν ενωπιον σου· και ιδε οτι τουτο το εθνος ειναι ο λαος σου.

14 και ειπεν, Η παρουσια μου θελει ελθει μετα σου και θελω σοι δωσει αναπαυσιν.

15 Ο δε ειπε προς αυτον, Εαν η παρουσια σου δεν ελθη μετ' εμου, μη αναγαγης ημας εντευθεν·

16 διοτι πως θελει γνωρισθη τωρα, οτι ευρηκα χαριν ενωπιον σου εγω και ο λαος σου; ουχι δια της ελευσεως σου μεθ' ημων; ουτω θελομεν διακριθη, εγω και ο λαος σου, απο παντος λαου, του επι προσωπου της γης.

17 Και ειπε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην, Και τουτο το πραγμα το οποιον ειπας, θελω καμει διοτι ευρηκας χαριν ενωπιον μου και σε γνωριζω κατ' ονομα.

18 Και ειπε, Δειξον μοι, δεομαι, την δοξαν σου.

19 Ο δε ειπεν, Εγω θελω καμει να περαση εμπροσθεν σου ολη η αγαθοτης μου και θελω κηρυξει το ονομα του Κυριου εμπροσθεν σου και θελω ελεησει οντινα ελεω και θελω οικτειρησει οντινα οικτειρω.

20 Και ειπε, δεν δυνασαι να ιδης το προσωπον μου· διοτι ανθρωπος δεν θελει με ιδει και ζησει.

21 Και ειπεν ο Κυριος, Ιδου, τοπος πλησιον μου, και θελεις σταθη επι της πετρας·

22 και οταν η δοξα μου διαβαινη, θελω σε βαλει εις το σχισμα της πετρας και θελω σε σκεπασει με την χειρα μου, εωσου παρελθω·

23 και θελω σηκωσει την χειρα μου και θελεις ιδει τα οπισω μου· το δε προσωπον μου δεν θελεις ιδει.

10535. 'And the people heard this bad news, and mourned' means their grief because they do not occupy a position above others. This is clear from the meaning of 'hearing this bad news and mourning' as grief. The fact that it is grief because they do not occupy a position above others is evident from what has been shown previously regarding that nation. That is to say, it has been shown that they insisted on the Church's being established among themselves. But they insisted on this with no other end in view than that they might occupy a position above all nations throughout the entire world; for they were ruled by self-love more than others were, and could not be raised to a position above those nations unless Jehovah, and therefore also the Church, was with them; for where Jehovah - that is, the Lord - is, so is the Church. That such was their end in view is clear from a large number of places in the Word, and also from the following verse in the present chapter,

Moses said, 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 earth. Exodus 33:16.

It was not because they were chosen, rather because they were allowed to have the Church established among them; yet the Church did not reside within the actual nation, only that which was representative of the Church did so, see in the places referred to in 10396(end).

Exodus 33

Studie

   

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, "Depart, go up from here, you and the people that you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, 'I will give it to your seed.'

2 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 to a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of you, for you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you in the way."

4 When the people heard this evil news, they mourned: and no one put on his jewelry.

5 Yahweh said to Moses, "Tell the children of Israel, 'You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go up into your midst for one moment, I would consume you. Therefore now take off your jewelry from you, that I may know what to do to you.'"

6 The children of Israel stripped themselves of their jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.

7 Now Moses used to take the tent and to pitch it outside the camp, far away from the camp, and he called it "The tent of Meeting." It happened that everyone who sought Yahweh went out to the tent of Meeting, which was outside the camp.

8 It happened that when Moses went out to the Tent, that all the people rose up, and stood, everyone at their Tent door, and watched Moses, until he had gone into the Tent.

9 It happened, when Moses entered into the Tent, that the pillar of cloud descended, stood at the door of the Tent, and spoke with Moses.

10 All the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent, and all the people rose up and worshiped, everyone at their Tent door.

11 Yahweh spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. He turned again into the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, didn't depart out of the Tent.

12 Moses said to Yahweh, "Behold, you tell me, 'Bring up this people:' and you haven't let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, 'I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.'

13 Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me now your ways, that I may know you, so that I may find favor in your sight: and consider that this nation is your people."

14 He said, "My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."

15 He said to him, "If your presence doesn't go with me, don't carry us up from here.

16 For how would people know that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Isn't it in that you go with us, so that we are separated, I and your people, from all the people who are on the surface of the earth?"

17 Yahweh said to Moses, "I will do this thing also that you have spoken; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name."

18 He said, "Please show me your glory."

19 He said, "I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of Yahweh before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy."

20 He said, "You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live."

21 Yahweh also said, "Behold, there is a place by me, and you shall stand on the rock.

22 It will happen, while my glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with my hand until I have passed by;

23 then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen."
