4 Mózes 9

Studie

   

1 Szóla pedig az Úr Mózesnek, a Sinai pusztájában, az Égyiptom földébõl való kijövetelöknek második esztendejében, az elsõ hónapban, mondván:

2 Izráel fiai pedig készítsék el a páskhát a maga idejében.

3 E hónapnak tizennegyedik napján, estennen készítsék el azt a maga idejében. Minden õ rendtartása szerint, és minden õ szertartása szerint készítsétek el azt.

4 Szóla azért Mózes Izráel fiainak, hogy készítsék el a páskhát.

5 És elkészíték a páskhát az elsõ hónapban, a hónapnak tizennegyedik napján estennen, a Sinai pusztájában; mindent úgy cselekedének Izráel fiai, a mint az Úr parancsolta vala Mózesnek.

6 Valának pedig némelyek, a kik tisztátalanok valának holtember [illetése] miatt, és nem készítheték meg a páskhát azon a napon: járulának azért Mózes elé és Áron elé azon a napon.

7 És mondának azok az emberek néki: Mi tisztátalanok vagyunk holtember [illetése] miatt; miért tiltatunk meg, hogy ne vigyünk áldozatot az Úrnak a maga idejében Izráel fiai között?

8 És monda nékik Mózes: Legyetek veszteg, míglen megértem: mit parancsol az Úr ti felõletek?

9 Szóla pedig az Úr Mózesnek, mondván:

10 Szólj Izráel fiainak, mondván: Ha valaki holt[ember] illetése miatt tisztátalan, vagy messze úton leend közületek, vagy a ti utódaitok közül, mindazáltal készítsen páskhát az Úrnak.

11 A második hónapnak tizennegyedik napján, estennen, készítsék el azt; kovásztalan kenyérrel és keserû füvekkel egyék meg azt.

12 Ne hagyjanak meg abból [semmit] reggelig, és annak csontját meg ne törjék; a páskhának minden rendtartása szerint készítsék el azt.

13 A mely ember pedig tiszta, vagy nincs útban, és elmulasztja a páskhát elkészíteni: irtassék ki az ilyen az õ népe közül; mert az Úrnak áldozatát nem vitte fel annak idejében; viselje az ilyen ember az õ bûnének terhét.

14 Hogyha pedig jövevény tartózkodik köztetek, és páskhát készít az Úrnak, a páskhának rendtartása szerint és annak szertartásai szerint készítse azt; egy rendtartástok legyen néktek, mind a jövevénynek, mind a föld lakosának.

15 A hajlék felállításának napján pedig befedezé a felhõ a hajlékot, a bizonyság sátorát; és estve a hajlék felett vala, tûznek ábrázatjában reggelig.

16 Úgy vala szüntelen: A felhõ borítja vala azt; és tûznek ábrázatja éjjel.

17 Mihelyt pedig felszáll vala a felhõ a sátorról, azonnal elindulnak vala Izráel fiai; és azon a helyen, a hol a felhõ megáll vala, ott ütnek vala tábort Izráel fiai.

18 Az Úr szava szerint mennek vala Izráel fiai, és az Úr szava szerint táboroznak vala; mind addig, míg a felhõ áll vala a hajlékon, táborban maradnak vala.

19 Még ha a felhõ sok napig nyugszik vala a hajlékon, akkor is megtartják vala Izráel fiai az Úr rendelését, és nem indulának.

20 Megesék, hogy a felhõ kevés napon át lõn a hajlékon: akkor is az Úr szava szerint maradnak vala táborban, és az Úr szava szerint indulnak vala.

21 Megesék, hogy a felhõ estvétõl fogva ott lõn reggelig; mikor azért reggel a felhõ felszáll vala, akkor indulnak vala el; vagy egy nap és egy éjjel [lõn] [ott]; mikor azért a felhõ felszáll vala, õk is indulának.

22 Vagy két napig, vagy egy hónapig, vagy hosszabb ideig [lõn] [ott;] a meddig késik vala a felhõ a hajlékon, vesztegelvén azon, táborban maradnak vala Izráel fiai [is], és nem indulnak vala tovább; mikor pedig az felszáll vala, õk is indulnak vala.

23 Az Úr szava szerint járnak vala tábort, és az Úr szava szerint indulnak vala. Az Úrnak rendelését megtartják vala, az Úrnak Mózes által való szava szerint.

59. The statements made in 55 above about the proclamation, holiness, and power of the law may be found in the following passages in the Word: Jehovah came down in fire upon Mount Sinai and the mountain smoked and shook; and there was thunder, lightning, thick clouds, and the sound of a trumpet (Exodus 19:16, 18; Deuteronomy 4:11; 5:22-23). Before Jehovah came down, the people spent three days preparing and sanctifying themselves (Exodus 19:10-11, 15). The mountain was fenced off so that no one would approach and come near its base and die; not even priests were allowed near; Moses alone was allowed (Exodus 19:12-13, 20-23; 24:1-2). The law was proclaimed from Mount Sinai (Exodus 20:2-17; Deuteronomy 5:6-21). The law was written on two stone tablets by the finger of God (Exodus 31:18; 32:15-16; Deuteronomy 9:10). When Moses brought the tablets down from the mountain the second time, his face shone (Exodus 34:29-35). The tablets were placed in an ark (Exodus 25:16; 40:20; Deuteronomy 10:5; 1 Kings 8:9). On top of the ark there was a mercy seat, and on the mercy seat were placed angel guardians made of gold (Exodus 25:17-21). The ark, with the mercy seat and the angel guardians, formed the very heart of the tabernacle, while the golden lampstand, the golden altar of incense, and the gilded table for the showbread were placed just outside [the veil], and all these objects were surrounded in turn by the ten curtains of fine linen and purple and scarlet [thread] (Exodus 25:1 to the end; 26:1 to the end; Exodus40:17-28). The area set aside for the ark was called "the most holy place" (Exodus 26:33). The whole Israelite population camped around the dwelling, in a set arrangement tribe by tribe, and traveled behind it in a set sequence (Numbers 2:1 to the end). There was a cloud above the tabernacle in the daytime then, and fire above it at night (Exodus 40:38; Numbers 9:15-16 to the end; 14:14; Deuteronomy 1:33). The Lord spoke with Moses from above the ark, between the angel guardians (Exodus 25:22; Numbers 7:89). Because it contained the law, the ark was called "Jehovah" there: when the ark would set out, Moses would say, "Rise up, Jehovah, " and when it would come to rest he would say, "Return, Jehovah" (Numbers 10:35-36; see also 2 Samuel 6:2 and Psalms 132:7-8). Because of the holiness of the law, Aaron was not allowed to go behind the veil without sacrifices and incense (Leviticus 16:2-14 and following). David brought the ark into Zion with sacrifices and rejoicing (2 Samuel 6:1-19). At that time Uzzah died because he touched the ark (2 Samuel 6:6-7). [Solomon] placed the ark at the center of the Jerusalem temple, where he had made an inner sanctuary for it (1 Kings 6:19 and following; 8:3-9). Because of the Lord's presence and power in the law that was in the ark, the waters of the Jordan were cut off; and as long as the ark rested in its midst, the people crossed over on dry ground (Joshua 3:1-17; 4:5-20). The walls of Jericho fell because the ark was carried around them (Joshua 6:1-20). Dagon, the god of the Philistines, fell to the earth before the ark and later lay on the threshold of the shrine with its head broken off (1 Samuel 5:1-4). Tens of thousands of the people of Beth-shemesh were struck down because of the ark (1 Samuel 6:19).

Joshua 2

Studie

   

1 Joshua the son of Nun secretly sent two men out of Shittim as spies, saying, "Go, view the land, including Jericho." They went and came into the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab, and slept there.

2 The king of Jericho was told, "Behold, men of the children of Israel came in here tonight to spy out the land."

3 The king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, "Bring out the men who have come to you, who have entered into your house; for they have come to spy out all the land."

4 The woman took the two men and hid them. Then she said, "Yes, the men came to me, but I didn't know where they came from.

5 It happened about the time of the shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out. Where the men went, I don't know. Pursue them quickly; for you will overtake them."

6 But she had brought them up to the roof, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order on the roof.

7 The men pursued them the way to the Jordan to the fords: and as soon as those who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate.

8 Before they had laid down, she came up to them on the roof;

9 and she said to the men, "I know that Yahweh has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.

10 For we have heard how Yahweh dried up the water of the Red Sea before you, when you came out of Egypt; and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and to Og, whom you utterly destroyed.

11 As soon as we had heard it, our hearts melted, neither did there remain any more spirit in any man, because of you: for Yahweh your God, he is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath.

12 Now therefore, please swear to me by Yahweh, since I have dealt kindly with you, that you also will deal kindly with my father's house, and give me a true token;

13 and that you will save alive my father, my mother, my brothers, and my sisters, and all that they have, and will deliver our lives from death."

14 The men said to her, "Our life for yours, if you don't talk about this business of ours; and it shall be, when Yahweh gives us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you."

15 Then she let them down by a cord through the window; for her house was on the side of the wall, and she lived on the wall.

16 She said to them, "Go to the mountain, lest the pursuers find you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned. Afterward, you may Go your way."

17 The men said to her, "We will be guiltless of this your oath which you have made us to swear.

18 Behold, when we come into the land, you shall bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which you did let us down by. You shall gather to yourself into the house your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father's household.

19 It shall be that whoever goes out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood will be on his head, and we will be guiltless. Whoever is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand is on him.

20 But if you talk about this business of ours, then we shall be guiltless of your oath which you have made us to swear."

21 She said, "According to your words, so be it." She sent them away, and they departed. She tied the scarlet line in the window.

22 They went, and came to the mountain, and stayed there three days, until the pursuers had returned. The pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but didn't find them.

23 Then the two men returned, descended from the mountain, passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun; and they told him all that had happened to them.

24 They said to Joshua, "Truly Yahweh has delivered into our hands all the land. Moreover, all the inhabitants of the land melt away before us."
