2 Mózes 40

Studie

   

1 És szóla az Úr Mózesnek, mondván:

2 Az elsõ hónapban, a hónap elsõ napján, állítsd fel a gyülekezet sátorának hajlékát.

3 És tedd oda a bizonyság ládáját, és fedd be a ládát a fedéllel.

4 Azután vidd be az asztalt, és hozd azt rendbe a reávalókkal. Vidd be a gyertyatartót is, és gyújtsd meg annak mécseit.

5 És helyheztesd a füstölõ áldozat arany oltárát a bizonyság ládája elé, tedd fel a leplet a hajlék nyílására.

6 Azután helyheztesd az egészen égõáldozat oltárát a gyülekezet sátora hajlékának nyílása elé.

7 A mosdómedenczét pedig helyheztesd a gyülekezet sátora közé és az oltár közé, és önts belé vizet.

8 Azután állítsd fel köröskörül a pitvart, és a pitvar kapujára tedd rá a leplet.

9 Azután vedd a kenetnek olaját, és kend meg a hajlékot és mind azt a mi benne van: így szenteld meg azt, és minden edényét, hogy szent legyen.

10 Kend meg az egészen égõáldozat oltárát is és annak minden edényét; így szenteld meg az oltárt, hogy az oltár legyen szentséges.

11 A mosdómedenczét és lábát is kend meg; így szenteld meg azt.

12 Azután állítsd Áront és az õ fiait a gyülekezet sátorának nyílásához, és mosd meg õket vízzel.

13 És öltöztesd fel Áront a szent ruhákba, és kend fel õt; így szenteld fel, és legyen papom.

14 Fiait is állítsd elõ és öltöztesd fel õket köntösökbe;

15 És kend fel õket, a mint az õ atyjokat felkenéd, hogy legyenek papjaim, és lészen az õ megkenetésök nékik örökös papság, az õ nemzetségökben.

16 És egészen úgy cselekedék Mózes, a mint az Úr parancsolta néki, úgy cselekedék.

17 Lõn azért a második év elsõ hónapjában, a hónap elsõ napján, hogy felállíták a hajlékot.

18 Mózes tehát felállítá a hajlékot, és letevé annak talpait, a deszkáit is felállítá, beilleszté a reteszrúdakat, és felállítá annak oszlopait.

19 Azután kifeszíté a hajlékra a sátort, és a sátor takaróját is reá teríté felülrõl, a mint parancsolta vala az Úr Mózesnek.

20 És vevé és betevé a bizonyságot is a ládába, a rúdakat pedig a ládára tevé, és a ládára felül helyezteté a fedelet.

21 Azután bevivé a ládát a hajlékba, és feltevé a takaró függönyt, és elfedezé a bizonyság ládáját, a mint az Úr parancsolta vala Mózesnek.

22 Az asztalt is bevivé a gyülekezet sátorába, a hajléknak északi oldalába, a függönyön kivül.

23 És rakott arra kenyereket sorban az Úr elõtt, a mint az Úr parancsolta vala Mózesnek.

24 És a gyertyatartót helyhezteté a gyülekezet sátorába az asztal ellenébe, a hajléknak déli oldalán.

25 És meggyújtá a mécseket az Úr elõtt, a mint az Úr parancsolta vala Mózesnek.

26 Az arany oltárt pedig helyhezteté a gyülekezet sátorába a függöny elébe.

27 És füstölögtete rajta fûszerekbõl való füstölõt, a mint az Úr parancsolta vala Mózesnek.

28 A hajlék nyílására a leplet is felvoná.

29 Az egészen égõáldozat oltárát pedig helyhezteté a gyülekezet sátora hajlékának nyílása elé, és áldozék azon egészen égõáldozattal és ételáldozattal, a mint parancsolta vala az Úr Mózesnek.

30 A mosdómedenczét pedig helyhezteté a gyülekezet sátora közé és az oltár közé, és önte abba vizet a mosdásra.

31 És megmosák abból Mózes és Áron és az õ fiai kezeiket és lábaikat.

32 Mikor a gyülekezet sátorába menének, és mikor az oltárhoz járulának, megmosdának, a mint az Úr parancsolta vala Mózesnek.

33 Azután felállítá a pitvart a hajlék és az oltár körül, és a pitvar kapujára feltevé a leplet. Így végezé el Mózes a munkát.

34 És a felhõ befedezé a gyülekezet sátorát, és az Úrnak dicsõsége betölté a hajlékot.

35 És Mózes nem mehete be a gyülekezet sátorába, mert a felhõ rajta nyugovék, és az Úrnak dicsõsége tölté be a hajlékot.

36 És mikor a felhõ felszáll vala a hajlékról, az Izráel fiai elindulának; [így lõn] egész utazásuk alatt.

37 Ha pedig a felhõ nem szálla fel, õk sem indulának el, míg csak fel nem szálla.

38 Mert az Úrnak felhõje vala a hajlékon nappal, éjjel pedig tûz vala azon, az Izráel egész háznépének láttára, egész utazásuk alatt.

8427. And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of Jehovah. That this signifies that in the beginning of a new state there will be the advent of the Lord, is evident from the signification of “morning,” as being the beginning of a new state (of which just above, n. 8426); and from the signification of “the glory of Jehovah,” as being His presence and advent. That “glory” denotes the presence and the advent of the Lord, is because in the supreme sense “glory” denotes the Divine truth which proceeds from the Lord, and the Divine truth appears before the eyes of the angels as light and brightness from the Sun which is the Lord. (That “glory” denotes the Divine truth proceeding from the Lord, see n. 5922, 8267; and that it denotes the intelligence and wisdom which are from Divine truth, n. 4809; and that from this it denotes the internal sense of the Word, because this sense is Divine truth in glory, n. 5922)

[2] It is said that “in the morning they should see the glory of Jehovah,” because the rising of the sun and the light from it (which light in heaven enlightens the angelic sight both external and internal), and consequently the presence and the advent of the Lord, who is the Sun in heaven, corresponds to the time of morning on the earth, and is here signified by “morning.” Therefore that light from the Sun, which light is the Divine truth proceeding from the Lord, thus is the Lord, is “glory.” From all this it is evident that by “glory” is signified the presence and the advent of the Lord. That these are “glory,” is also evident from many passages in the Word; as in Moses:

The cloud covered the mount, and the glory of Jehovah abode upon Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days; the appearance of the glory of Jehovah was like devouring fire on the top of the mount before the eyes of the sons of Israel (Exodus 24:15-17);

it is evident that the presence of Jehovah, that is, of the Lord, appearing like a cloud and like fire upon the mount, is here called “the glory of Jehovah.” Again:

The cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle. And Moses could not enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle (Exodus 40:3435);

here also the presence of the Lord appearing as a cloud is called “glory.”

[3] And in the following:

Moses and Aaron entered into the tent of meeting, and came out, and blessed the people; then appeared the glory of Jehovah toward the whole people (Leviticus 9:23).

The glory of Jehovah appeared in the tent of meeting before all the sons of Israel (Numbers 14:10; also 16:19, 42).

The cloud filled the house of Jehovah, so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; because the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah (1 Kings 8:10-11).

The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from His power; so that no one could enter into the temple (Revelation 15:8).

He showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down from heaven from God, having the glory of God: the city hath no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it; for the glory of God doth lighten it, and the Lamb is the lamp thereof (Revelation 21:10-11, 23);

here “the glory of God” manifestly denotes light from the Lord, which is the Divine truth proceeding from Him, thus the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is present in the truth which is from Him.

[4] That “the glory of Jehovah” denotes His presence, is further evident in Moses:

Moses said unto Jehovah, Show me I pray Thy glory; to whom He said, I will make all My good pass before thee; and when My glory shall pass by, it shall be that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with My hand until I have passed by; but when I shall take away My hand thou shall see My back parts, and My faces shall not be seen (Exodus 33:18).

Here also “the glory of Jehovah” manifestly denotes His presence.

In Matthew:

The disciples said unto Jesus, Tell us what shall be the sign of Thy coming? Jesus said, Then shall appear the sign of the Son of man, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and glory (24:3, (Matthew 24:3) 30).

The last time of the former church and the first time of the new church is here treated of; “the Son of man” denotes truth Divine proceeding from the Lord; “the clouds of heaven” denote the Word in the sense of the letter; “power and glory” denote the internal sense, thus the Divine truth which shall then appear; “the coming of the Lord” denotes the acknowledgment of truth Divine by those who are of the new church, and the denial of it by those who are of the old church (see n. 4060).

[5] That the Lord as to Divine truth is “glory,” is evident in Isaiah:

The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of Jehovah; the glory of Jehovah shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together (40:3, 5);

speaking of the Lord, who is “the glory.”

In John:

The Word became flesh, and dwelt in us, and we saw His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth (1:14).

These things said Isaiah, when he saw His glory, and spake of Him (12:41);

here “glory” denotes the Lord. In like manner in Moses:

I am living, and the whole earth shall be filled with the glory of Jehovah (Numbers 14:21);

here “the glory of Jehovah” denotes the advent of the Lord, and enlightenment by the Divine truth which is from Him.

[6] “Glory” denotes the Divine of the Lord in these passages:

I am Jehovah, this is My name, and My glory will I not give to another (Isaiah 42:8).

When the Son of man cometh in the glory of His Father with the holy angels (Mark 8:38).

It behooved the Christ to suffer, and to enter into His glory (Luke 24:26).

As by “the glory of Jehovah” is signified the Lord as to Divine truth, so also by “glory” are signified the Divine wisdom and intelligence, which are of the Divine truth from the Lord. Wisdom and intelligence from the Divine are meant by “glory” in Ezekiel 1:28; 8:4; 9:3; 10:4, 10:18-19; 11:22-23, which was represented there by a rainbow such as is seen in a cloud.

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.
