4 Mózes 11

Studie

   

1 És lõn, hogy panaszolkodék a nép az Úr hallására, [hogy] rosszul [van dolga.] És meghallá az Úr, és haragra gerjede, és felgyullada ellenök az Úrnak tüze és megemészté a tábornak szélét.

2 Kiálta azért a nép Mózeshez, és könyörge Mózes az Úrnak, és megszünék a tûz.

3 És nevezé azt a helyet Thaberának; mert felgyulladt vala ellenök az Úrnak tüze.

4 De a gyülevész nép, a mely köztök vala, kívánságba esék, és Izráel fiai is újra síránkozni kezdének, és mondának: Kicsoda ád nékünk húst ennünk?

5 Visszaemlékezünk a halakra, a melyeket ettünk Égyiptomban ingyen, az ugorkákra és dinnyékre, a párhagymákra, vereshagymákra és a foghagymákra.

6 Most pedig a mi lelkünk eleped, mindennek híjával lévén; szemünk elõtt nincs egyéb mint manna.

7 (A manna pedig olyan vala mint a kóriándrum magva, a színe pedig mint a bdelliomnak színe.

8 Kiomol vala pedig a nép, és szedik vala [a mannát], és õrlik vala kézimalmokban, vagy megtörik vala mozsárban, és megfõzik vala fazékban, és csinálnak vala abból pogácsákat: az íze pedig olyan vala, mint az olajos kalácsé.

9 Mikor pedig a harmat leszáll vala a táborra éjjel, a manna is mindjárt leszáll vala arra.)

10 És meghallá Mózes, hogy sír a nép, az õ nemzetsége szerint, kiki az õ sátorának nyílása elõtt; és igen felgerjede az Úr haragja, és nem tetszék az Mózesnek.

11 És monda Mózes az Úrnak: Miért nyomorítád meg a te szolgádat? és miért nem találék kegyelmet a te szemeid elõtt, hogy ez egész népnek terhét én reám vetéd?

12 Avagy tõlem fogantatott-e mind ez egész nép? avagy én szûltem-e õt, hogy azt mondod nékem: Hordozd õt a te kebleden, a miképen hordozza a dajka a csecsemõt, arra a földre, a mely felõl megesküdtél az õ atyáinak?

13 Hol vegyek én húst, hogy adjam azt mind ez egész népnek? mert reám sírnak, mondván: Adj nékünk húst, hadd együnk!

14 Nem viselhetem én magam mind ez egész népet; mert erõm felett van.

15 Ha így cselekszel velem, kérlek ölj meg engemet, ölj meg ha kedves vagyok elõtted, hogy ne lássam az én nyomorúságomat.

16 Monda azért az Úr Mózesnek: Gyûjts egybe nékem hetven férfiút Izráel vénei közül, a kikrõl tudod, hogy vénei a népnek és annak elõljárói, és vidd õket a gyülekezet sátorához, és álljanak ott veled.

17 Akkor alá szállok, és szólok ott veled, és elszakasztok abból a lélekbõl, a mely te benned van, és teszem õ beléjök, hogy viseljék te veled a népnek terhét, és ne viseljed te magad.

18 A népnek pedig mondd meg: Készítsétek el magatokat holnapra, és húst esztek; mert sírtatok az Úr hallására, mondván: Kicsoda ád nékünk húst ennünk? mert jobban vala nékünk dolgunk Égyiptomban. Azért az Úr ád néktek húst és enni fogtok.

19 Nem [csak] egy napon esztek, sem két napon, sem öt napon, sem tíz napon, sem húsz napon;

20 Hanem egy egész hónapig, míglen kijön az orrotokon, és útálatossá lesz elõttetek; mivelhogy megvetettétek az Urat, a ki közöttetek van; és sírtatok õ elõtte mondván: Miért jöttünk ide ki Égyiptomból?

21 És monda Mózes: Hatszáz ezer gyalogos e nép, a mely között én vagyok, és te azt mondod: Húst adok nékik, és esznek egy egész hónapig?!

22 Nemde juhok és ökrök vágattatnak-é nékik, hogy elég legyen nékik? vagy a tengernek minden hala összegyûjtetik-é nékik, hogy elég legyen nékik?

23 Akkor monda az Úr Mózesnek: Avagy megrövidült-é az Úrnak keze? Majd meglátod: beteljesedik-é néked az én beszédem vagy nem?

24 Kiméne azért Mózes, és elmondá a népnek az Úr beszédét, és összegyûjte hetven férfiút a nép vénei közül, és állatá õket a sátor körül.

25 Akkor leszálla az Úr felhõben, és szóla néki, és elszakaszta abból a lélekbõl, a mely vala õ benne, és adá a hetven vén férfiúba. Mihelyt pedig megnyugovék õ rajtok a lélek, menten prófétálának, de nem többé.

26 Két férfiú azonban elmaradt vala a táborban; egyiknek neve Eldád, a másiknak neve Médád, és ezeken is megnyugodott vala a lélek; mert azok is az összeírottak közül valók, de nem mentek vala el a sátorhoz, és mégis prófétálának a táborban.

27 Elfutamodék azért egy ifjú, és megjelenté Mózesnek, és monda: Eldád és Médád prófétálnak a táborban.

28 Akkor felele Józsué, a Nún fia, Mózes szolgája, az õ választottai közül való, és monda: Uram, Mózes, tiltsd meg õket!

29 És felele néki Mózes: Avagy érettem buzgólkodol-é? Vajha az Úrnak minden népe próféta volna, hogy adná az Úr az õ lelkét õ beléjök.

30 Ezután visszatére Mózes a táborba, õ és az Izráel vénei.

31 És szél jöve ki az Úrtól, és hoza fürjeket a tengertõl, és bocsátá a táborra egynapi járásnyira egy felõl, és egynapi járásnyira más felõl a tábor körül, és mintegy két sing magasságnyira a földnek színén.

32 Akkor felkele a nép [és] azon az egész napon, és egész éjjel, és az egész következõ napon gyûjtének magoknak fürjeket, a ki keveset gyûjtött is, gyûjtött tíz hómert, és kiteregeték azokat magoknak a tábor körül.

33 A hús még foguk között vala, és meg sem emésztették vala, a mikor az Úrnak haragja felgerjede a népre és megveré az Úr a népet igen nagy csapással.

34 És elnevezék azt a helyet Kibrot-thaavának: mert ott temeték el a mohó népet.

35 Kibrot-thaavától elméne a nép Haseróthba; és ott valának Haseróthban.

8464. 'It is the bread which Jehovah has given you to eat' means that this is the good that will become their own and constitute their life, in the highest sense that this is the Lord within you. This is clear from the meaning of 'bread' as celestial and spiritual good, and in the highest sense as the Lord, dealt with in 276, 680, 2165, 2177, 3464, 3478, 3735, 3813, 4211, 4217, 4735, 4976, 5915, at this point spiritual good, that is, good as it exists with a member of the spiritual Church, which is the good of truth, dealt with just above in 8458. Since that bread was the manna it follows that this good is meant by 'the manna'. This is also made plain by the description of it in verse 31 of the present chapter, which says 'it was like coriander seed, white, and its taste was like that of a cake with honey', as well as from the description of it in Numbers 11,

The man[na] was like coriander seed, and its appearance like the appearance of bdellium. They ground it in mills or beat it in mortars, and cooked it in a pan, and made cakes out of it; and its taste was like the taste of fresh oil. 1 Numbers 11:7-8.

From the details given here it is evident that 'manna' in the spiritual sense means the good of truth, that is, good as it exists with the spiritual Church. They also explain why it is called 'the grain of the heavens' in David,

He commanded the skies from above, and threw open the doors of the heavens. And He caused man[na] to rain down onto them, and gave them the grain of the heavens. Psalms 78:23-24.

'The grain' is the good of truth, see 5295, 5410. 'Manna' again stands for the good of truth, which is given to those who undergo temptations and overcome in them, in John,

He who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white pebble. Revelation 2:17.

The fact that 'manna' in the highest sense is the Lord within us is clear from actual words used by the Lord in John,

Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that anyone eating of it may not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread he will live forever. John 6:49-51, 58.

From these words it is clearly evident that 'the manna' in the highest sense means the Lord. The reason why is that 'manna' is the good of truth; but all good comes from the Lord, so that the Lord is within good and is Himself that good.

As regards that good, that this will become their own and constitute their life, this is meant by 'eating', 3168, 3513, 3596, 4745; for good which comes from the Lord brings the life of heaven to a person, and from then on nourishes and sustains it.

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.
