2 Mózes 34

Studie

   

1 És monda az Úr Mózesnek: Vágj két kõtáblát, hasonlókat az elõbbiekhez, hogy írjam fel azokra azokat a szavakat, a melyek az elõbbi táblákon voltak, a melyeket széttörtél.

2 És légy készen reggelre, és jöjj fel reggel a Sinai hegyre, és állj ott elõmbe a hegy tetején.

3 De senki veled fel ne jöjjön, és senki ne mutatkozzék az egész hegyen; juhok és barmok se legeljenek a hegy környékén.

4 Vágott azért két kõtáblát, az elõbbiekhez hasonlókat, és felkelvén reggel, felméne Mózes a Sinai hegyre, a mint az Úr parancsolta néki, és kezébe vevé a két kõtáblát.

5 Az Úr pedig leszálla felhõben, és ott álla õ vele, és nevén kiáltá az Urat:

6 És az Úr elvonula õ elõtte és kiálta: Az Úr, az Úr, irgalmas és kegyelmes Isten, késedelmes a haragra, nagy irgalmasságú és igazságú.

7 A ki irgalmas marad ezeríziglen; megbocsát hamisságot, vétket és bûnt: de nem hagyja a [bûnöst] büntetlenül, megbünteti az atyák álnokságát a fiakban, és a fiak fiaiban harmad és negyedíziglen.

8 És Mózes nagy sietséggel földre borula, és lehajtá [fejét.]

9 És monda: Uram, ha elõtted kedvet találtam, kérlek járjon az Úr velünk; mert keménynyakú nép ez! Kegyelmezz a mi vétkeinknek és gonoszságunknak, és fogadj minket örökségeddé.

10 Õ pedig monda: Ímé szövetséget kötök; a te egész néped elõtt csudákat teszek, a milyenek nem voltak az egész földön, sem a népek között, és meglátja az egész nép, a mely között te vagy, az Úrnak cselekedeteit; mert csudálatos az, a mit én cselekszem veled.

11 Jegyezd meg magadnak a mit ma parancsolok néked. Ímé kiûzöm elõled az Emoreust, Kananeust, Khittheust, Perizeust, Khivveust, Jebuzeust.

12 Vigyázz magadra, nehogy szövetséget köss annak a földnek lakosaival, a melybe bemégy, hogy botránkozásra ne legyen közötted.

13 Hanem oltáraikat rontsátok el, törjétek össze bálványaikat, és vágjátok ki berkeiket.

14 Mert nem szabad imádnod más istent; mert az Úr, a kinek neve féltõn szeretõ, féltõn szeretõ Isten õ.

15 Hogy valamiképen szövetséget ne köss annak a földnek lakosaival, hogy a mikor isteneiket követvén paráználkodnak, és áldoznak az õ isteneiknek, és meghívnak téged, egyél az õ áldozatukból.

16 És [feleséget] ne végy az õ leányaik közül a te fiaidnak, hogy mikor paráználkodnak az õ leányaik isteneiket követvén, a te fiaidat is paráználkodásra vigyék, az õ isteneiket követvén.

17 Ne csinálj magadnak öntött isteneket.

18 A kovásztalan kenyér innepét megtartsad: hét nap egyél kovásztalan kenyeret, a mint megparancsoltam néked, az Abib hónap ideje alatt; mert Abib hónapban jöttél ki Égyiptomból.

19 Mindaz a mi az anyja méhét megnyitja, enyém legyen, és minden hímbarmod is, a mely a te tehenednek vagy juhodnak elsõ fajzása.

20 De a szamárnak elsõ vemhét juhon váltsd meg; ha pedig nem váltod, szegd nyakát. Fiaid közül minden elsõszülöttet megválts, és ne jöjjön üresen elõmbe senki.

21 Hat napon munkálkodjál, a hetedik napon pedig pihenj; szántás és aratás idején is pihenj.

22 A hetek innepét is megtartsd a búza zsengének aratásakor; meg a betakarás innepét is az esztendõ végén.

23 Háromszor esztendõnként minden férfiú jelenjen meg az Úrnak, Izráel Ura Istenének színe elõtt.

24 Mert kiûzöm a népeket elõled, és kiszélesítem határodat, és senki nem kívánja meg a te földedet, mikor felmégy, hogy a te Urad Istened elõtt megjelenjél, esztendõnként háromszor.

25 Áldozatom vérét ne ontsd ki kovász mellett, és a husvét innepének áldozatja ne maradjon meg reggelig.

26 Földed zsengéibõl az elsõt vidd fel az Úrnak a te Istenednek házába. Ne fõzz gödölyét az anyja tejében.

27 És monda az Úr Mózesnek: Írd fel ezeket a szavakat; mert ezeknek a szavaknak értelme szerint kötöttem szövetséget veled és Izráellel.

28 És ott vala az Úrral negyven nap és negyven éjjel: kenyeret nem evett, vizet sem ivott. És felírá a táblákra a szövetség szavait, a tíz parancsolatot.

29 És lõn, a mikor Mózes a Sinai hegyrõl leszálla, (a Mózes kezében vala a bizonyság két táblája, mikor a hegyrõl leszálla) Mózes nem tudta, hogy az õ orczájának bõre sugárzik, mivelhogy Õvele szólott.

30 És a mint Áron és az Izráel minden fiai meglátták Mózest, hogy az õ orczájának bõre sugárzik: féltek közelíteni hozzá.

31 Mózes pedig megszólítá õket, és Áron és a gyülekezetnek fejei mind hozzá menének, és szóla velök Mózes.

32 Azután az Izráel fiai is mind hozzá járulának, és megparancsolá nékik mind azt, a mit az Úr mondott néki a Sinai hegyen.

33 Mikor pedig elvégezte Mózes velök a beszédet, leplet tõn orczájára.

34 És mikor Mózes az Úr elébe méne, hogy vele szóljon, levevé a leplet, míg kijõne. Kijövén pedig, elmondá az Izráel fiainak, a mi parancsot kapott.

35 És az Izráel fiai láták a Mózes orczáját, hogy sugárzik a Mózes orczájának bõre; és Mózes a leplet ismét orczájára borítá, mígnem beméne, hogy Õvele szóljon.

10642. 'Therefore you shall overthrow their altars' means that the evil involved in that type of religion and in the worship springing from it is to be rejected. This is clear from the meaning of 'altar' as the chief representative of the Lord and of worship of Him which springs from good, dealt with in 921, 2777, 2811, 4541, 8935, 8940, 9388, 9389, 9714, 9964, 10242, 10245, and therefore in the contrary sense as that which is representative of idolatrous worship, thus worship springing from evil, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'overthrowing' as rejecting. For of altars it is said that they are to be overthrown, but of evils involved in worship, meant by the altars of the nations, it is said that they are to be rejected.

[2] In this verse altars, pillars, and groves are mentioned, and in general they mean everything connected with idolatrous worship, worship that springs from evil being meant by 'altars', worship that springs from the falsity of evil by 'pillars', and religious teachings that go with them by 'groves'. The reason why they were to be completely banished was that those representative objects were not used to worship the Lord but to worship gods, such as the baals and many others, who had once been ordinary human beings. This worship was devilish and hellish, because worshipping human beings instead of God Himself, who is the Lord, is devilish; for a person is linked to whomever he worships.

[3] The situation is this: If a person is worshipped as a god, anyone who comes from hell is linked to him. This is because belief and love create a link; that is, a belief in what is true and a love of what is good link a person to the Lord, but a belief in what is false and a love of what is evil link a person to hell. For everyone has spirits from hell and angels from heaven present with him; without their presence the person could not live. If someone who was once a human being in the world is worshipped by a person the spirits from hell with that person think that they are the ones who are being worshipped (for everyone in hell wishes to be a god), and these spirits transmit that worship to the hellish community they belong to. To the extent therefore that these are worshipped the angels from heaven depart. As a consequence the person is drawn away into hellish desires, till at length, so far as all the life within him is concerned, he becomes like those spirits; and after death he also comes to be one of them. But when the Lord, who is the God of heaven and earth, is worshipped by a person the angels from heaven who are present with that person arrogate none of his worship to themselves, because they ascribe all the truth that people believe and all the good that they love to the Lord, and none to themselves. Through them consequently the way right through to the Lord Himself is laid open, and He then joins them to Himself in faith and love. From all this it may be recognized how extremely important it is to worship the Lord Himself, who has all power in heaven and on earth, as He Himself declares in Matthew 28:18.

Exodus 34

Studie

   

1 Yahweh said to Moses, "Chisel two stone tablets like the first: and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.

2 Be ready by the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself there to me on the top of the mountain.

3 No one shall come up with you; neither let anyone be seen throughout all the mountain; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mountain."

4 He chiseled two tablets of stone like the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up to Mount Sinai, as Yahweh had commanded him, and took in his hand two stone tablets.

5 Yahweh descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of Yahweh.

6 Yahweh passed by before him, and proclaimed, "Yahweh! Yahweh, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth,

7 keeping loving kindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and disobedience and sin; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the children's children, on the third and on the fourth generation."

8 Moses hurried and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshiped.

9 He said, "If now I have found favor in your sight, Lord, please let the Lord go in the midst of us; although this is a stiff-necked people; pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance."

10 He said, "Behold, I make a covenant: before all your people I will do marvels, such as have not been worked in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among which you are shall see the work of Yahweh; for it is an awesome thing that I do with you.

11 Observe that which I command you this day. Behold, I drive out before you the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

12 Be careful, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be for a snare in the midst of you:

13 but you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and you shall cut down their Asherim;

14 for you shall worship no other god: for Yahweh, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

15 "Don't make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, lest they play the prostitute after their gods, and sacrifice to their gods, and one call you and you eat of his sacrifice;

16 and you take of their daughters to your sons, and their daughters play the prostitute after their gods, and make your sons play the prostitute after their gods.

17 "You shall make no cast idols for yourselves.

18 "You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib; for in the month Abib you came out from Egypt.

19 "All that opens the womb is mine; and all your livestock that is male, the firstborn of cow and sheep.

20 The firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb: and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. No one shall appear before me empty.

21 "Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest: in plowing time and in harvest you shall rest.

22 "You shall observe the feast of weeks with the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of harvest at the year's end.

23 Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord Yahweh, the God of Israel.

24 For I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your borders; neither shall any man desire your land when you go up to appear before Yahweh, your God, three times in the year.

25 "You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the Passover be left to the morning.

26 "You shall bring the first of the first fruits of your ground to the house of Yahweh your God. "You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk."

27 Yahweh said to Moses, "Write you these words: for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel."

28 He was there with Yahweh forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread, nor drank water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

29 It happened, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mountain, that Moses didn't know that the skin of his face shone by reason of his speaking with him.

30 When Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come near him.

31 Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him; and Moses spoke to them.

32 Afterward all the children of Israel came near, and he gave them all of the commandments that Yahweh had spoken with him on Mount Sinai.

33 When Moses was done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.

34 But when Moses went in before Yahweh to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out; and he came out, and spoke to the children of Israel that which he was commanded.

35 The children of Israel saw Moses' face, that the skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
