Esodo 35

Studie

   

1 MOSÈ adunque adunò tutta la raunanza de’ figliuoli d’Israele, e disse loro: Queste son le cose che il Signore ha comandate che si facciano:

2 Lavorisi sei giorni, e al settimo giorno siavi giorno santo, il Riposo del Sabato consacrato al Signore; chiunque farà in esso opera alcuna sia fatto morire.

3 Non accendete fuoco in alcuna delle vostre stanze nel giorno del Sabato.

4 Poi Mosè disse a tutta la raunanza de’ figliuoli d’Israele: Questo è quello che il Signore ha comandato.

5 Pigliate di quello che avete appo voi da fare un’offerta al Signore; chiunque sarà d’animo volenteroso, porti quell’offerta al Signore; oro, e argento, e rame,

6 e violato, e porpora, e scarlatto, e fin lino, e pel di capra,

7 e pelli di montone tinte in rosso, e pelli di tasso, e legno di Sittim,

8 e olio per la lumiera, e aromati per l’olio dell’Unzione, e per lo profumo degli aromati,

9 e pietre onichine, e pietre da legare, per l’Efod, e per lo Pettorale.

10 E tutti gli uomini industriosi che son fra voi vengano, e facciano tutto quello che il Signore ha comandato:

11 il Tabernacolo, la sua tenda, la sua coverta, i suoi graffi, le sue assi, le sue sbarre, le sue colonne, e i suoi piedistalli;

12 l’Arca, e le sue stanghe; il Coperchio, e la Cortina da tender davanti;

13 la Tavola, e le sue stanghe, e tutti i suoi strumenti; e il Pane del cospetto;

14 e il Candelliere della lumiera, e i suoi strumenti, e le sue lampane, e l’olio per la lumiera;

15 e l’Altar de’ profumi, e le sue stanghe; l’olio dell’Unzione, e il profumo degli aromati, e il Tappeto dell’entrata, per l’entrata del Tabernacolo;

16 l’Altar degli olocausti, e la sua grata di rame, e le sue sbarre, e tutti i suoi strumenti; la Conca, e il suo piede;

17 le cortine del Cortile, le sue colonne e i suoi piedistalli; e il Tappeto dell’entrata del Cortile;

18 i piuoli del Tabernacolo, e i piuoli del Cortile, e le lor corde;

19 i vestimenti del servigio, da fare il servigio nel Luogo santo; i vestimenti sacri del Sacerdote Aaronne, e i vestimenti de’ suoi figliuoli, per esercitare il sacerdozio.

20 Allora tutta la raunanza de’ figliuoli d’Israele si partì dal cospetto di Mosè.

21 E tutti coloro, il cui cuore li sospinse, e il cui spirito li mosse volenterosamente, vennero, e portarono l’offerta del Signore, per l’opera del Tabernacolo della convenenza, e per ogni servigio di esso, e per li vestimenti sacri.

22 E tutte le persone di cuor volenteroso vennero, uomini e donne; e portarono fibbie, e monili, e anella, e fermagli; ogni sorte di arredi d’oro; oltre a tutti coloro che offersero al Signore offerta d’oro.

23 E ogni uomo, appo cui si trovò violato, o porpora, o scarlatto, o fin lino, o pel di capra, o pelli di montone tinte in rosso, e pelli di tasso, ne portò.

24 Chiunque potè offerire offerta d’argento, e di rame, ne portò per l’offerta del Signore; parimente ciascuno, appo cui si trovò legno di Sittim, per qualunque opera del lavorio, ne portò.

25 E tutte le donne industriose filarono con le lor mani, e portarono il filato del violato, e della porpora, e dello scarlatto, e del fin lino.

26 Tutte le donne ancora, il cui cuore le sospinse ad adoperarsi con industria, filarono il pel di capra.

27 E i principali del popolo portarono pietre onichine, e pietre da legare, per l’Efod, e per lo Pettorale;

28 e aromati, e olio, per la lumiera, e per l’olio dell’Unzione, e per lo profumo degli aromati.

29 Così tutti coloro d’infra i figliuoli d’Israele, così uomini come donne, il cui cuore li mosse volenterosamente a portar ciò che faceva bisogno per tutto il lavorio, che il Signore avea comandato per Mosè che si facesse, portarono offerte volontarie al Signore.

30 E MOSÈ disse a’ figliuoli d’Israele: Vedete, il Signore ha chiamato per nome Besaleel, figliuol di Uri, figliuol di Hur, della tribù di Giuda.

31 E l’ha empiuto dello Spirito di Dio, in industria, in ingegno, in sapere, e in ogni artificio;

32 eziandio per far disegni da lavorare in oro, e in argento, e in rame,

33 e in arte di pietre da legare, e in arte di lavorar di legno, per far qualunque lavorio ingegnoso.

34 E anche ha messo nell’animo suo il sapere ammaestrare altrui; e con lui Oholiab, figliuol di Ahisamac, della tribù di Dan.

35 Egli li ha empiuti d’industria, da far qualunque lavorio di fabbro, e di disegnatore, e di ricamatore in violato, in porpora, in iscarlatto, e in fin lino; e di tessitore; e di artefice in qualunque lavorio e disegno.

   


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

Apocalypse Explained # 937

/ 1232  
  

937. That Moses signifies the Word of the Old Testament, is evident from certain passages in the Word where he is mentioned. In some places, however, by Moses is meant the law in its strictest sense, which is the law published from Mount Sinai. In some, the law in a broader sense, which is the historical Word, is meant by him. But in the present case the Word of the Old Testament is meant, both historical and prophetical. The reason why Moses signifies the Word is, that the Ten Precepts, and afterwards the Five Books, which were the first [portion] of the Word, were not from himself but from the Lord through him.

That Moses is mentioned instead of the law and the Word is plain from the following passages. In Luke:

"Abraham said unto him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them: if they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead" (16:29, 31).

Here by Moses and the Prophets is meant the same as elsewhere by the Law and the Prophets, namely, the historical and prophetical Word.

In the same:

Jesus, "beginning from Moses and all the prophets, interpreted in all the scriptures the things concerning himself" (24:27).

In the same:

"All things must be fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me" (24:44).

In John:

Philip said, "We have found him, of whom Moses hath written in the law" (1:45).

In the same:

"In the law Moses commanded us" (8:5).

In Daniel:

"The curse hath poured down upon us; and the oath, which is written in the law of Moses, the servant of God; because we have sinned against him. As it is written in the law of Moses, every evil cometh upon us" (9:11, 13).

In Joshua:

Joshua wrote upon the stone of the altar "a copy of the law of Moses" (8:32).

In John:

"Moses gave to you the law, Moses gave to you circumcision. If a man receive circumcision on the Sabbath, thus that the law of Moses might not be broken" (7:19, 22, 23).

In Mark:

"Moses hath said, Honour thy father and thy mother" (7:10).

[2] Because on account of the representation, that is attributed to Moses which was done by the Lord through him, therefore the law of Moses and the law of the Lord are both mentioned in Luke:

"When the days of their purification were fulfilled according to the law of Moses, they brought him to Jerusalem (even as it is written in the law of the Lord, that every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord) to offer the sacrifice, according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtle doves, and two young pigeons" (2:22-24, 29).

[3] Because Moses represented the law, it was allowed him to enter in to the Lord upon Mount Sinai, and not only to receive there the Tables of the Law, but also to hear the statutes and judgments of the Law; and to command them to the people. And it is also said, that they might thence believe in Moses for ever:

"Jehovah said unto Moses, Behold I will come to thee in the mist of a cloud, that the people may hear, when I shall speak unto thee; and also may believe in thee for ever" (Exodus 19:9).

[4] It is said, in the mist of a cloud, because by a cloud is signified the Word in the letter. Hence also when Moses entered in to the Lord on Mount Sinai,

He entered into a cloud (Exodus 20:21; 24:2, 18; 35:2-4).

That a cloud signifies the sense of the letter of the Word may be seen (n. 36, 594, 905, 906).

Because Moses represented the Lord as to the law or the Word, therefore,

"When he came down from Mount Sinai, the skin of his face shone; therefore when he spake with the people, he put a veil upon his face" (Exodus 34:28 to end).

The radiation of the face signified the internal of the law; for this is in the light of heaven. The reason of his veiling his face when he spake with the people was, became the internal of the Word was covered, and so obscured to that people, that they could not sustain anything of the light thence.

[5] Since Moses represented the Lord as to the historical Word, and Elias the Lord as to the prophetical Word, therefore, when the Lord was transfigured, Moses and Elias were seen talking with Him (Matthew 17:3). Nor could any others speak with the Lord when His Divine appeared in the world, but those who signified the Word; for all discourse with the Lord is by means of the Word. That Elias represented the Lord as to the Word may be seen above (n. 624).

And because both Moses and Elias, together, represented the Word, therefore, where Elias being sent before the Lord is treated of, both are mentioned in Malachi:

"Remember ye the law of Moses, my servant, which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, the statutes and the judgments. Lo, I send to you Elias the prophet, before the great and terrible day of Jehovah cometh" (Malachi 4:4-6).

By Elias the prophet is meant John the Baptist, because by him, as by Elias, the Word was represented; see above (n. 624, 724).

Deuteronomy 4

Studie

   

1 Now, Israel, listen to the statutes and to the ordinances, which I teach you, to do them; that you may live, and go in and possess the land which Yahweh, the God of your fathers, gives you.

2 You shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall you diminish from it, that you may keep the commandments of Yahweh your God which I command you.

3 Your eyes have seen what Yahweh did because of Baal Peor; for all the men who followed Baal Peor, Yahweh your God has destroyed them from the midst of you.

4 But you who did cling to Yahweh your God are all alive this day.

5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as Yahweh my God commanded me, that you should do so in the midst of the land where you go in to possess it.

6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, who shall hear all these statutes, and say, "Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people."

7 For what great nation is there, that has a god so near to them, as Yahweh our god is whenever we call on him?

8 What great nation is there, that has statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?

9 Only take heed to yourself, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children's children;

10 the day that you stood before Yahweh your God in Horeb, when Yahweh said to me, "Assemble me the people, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children."

11 You came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the heart of the sky, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness.

12 Yahweh spoke to you out of the midst of the fire: you heard the voice of words, but you saw no form; only [you heard] a voice.

13 He declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even the ten commandments; and he wrote them on two tables of stone.

14 Yahweh commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that you might do them in the land where you go over to possess it.

15 Take therefore good heed to yourselves; for you saw no kind of form on the day that Yahweh spoke to you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire.

16 Lest you corrupt yourselves, and make yourself an engraved image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

17 the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the sky,

18 the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth;

19 and lest you lift up your eyes to the sky, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the army of the sky, you are drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which Yahweh your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole sky.

20 But Yahweh has taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as at this day.

21 Furthermore Yahweh was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not go in to that good land, which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance:

22 but I must die in this land, I must not go over the Jordan; but you shall go over, and possess that good land.

23 Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he made with you, and make you an engraved image in the form of anything which Yahweh your God has forbidden you.

24 For Yahweh your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.

25 When you shall father children, and children's children, and you shall have been long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make an engraved image in the form of anything, and shall do that which is evil in the sight of Yahweh your God, to provoke him to anger;

26 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto you go over the Jordan to possess it; you shall not prolong your days on it, but shall utterly be destroyed.

27 Yahweh will scatter you among the peoples, and you shall be left few in number among the nations, where Yahweh shall lead you away.

28 There you shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.

29 But from there you shall seek Yahweh your God, and you shall find him, when you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.

30 When you are in oppression, and all these things are come on you, in the latter days you shall return to Yahweh your God, and listen to his voice:

31 for Yahweh your God is a merciful God; he will not fail you, neither destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which he swore to them.

32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and from the one end of the sky to the other, whether there has been [any such thing] as this great thing is, or has been heard like it?

33 Did ever a people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live?

34 Or has God tried to go and take him a nation from the midst of [another] nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that Yahweh your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

35 It was shown to you so that you might know that Yahweh is God. There is no one else besides him.

36 Out of heaven he made you to hear his voice, that he might instruct you: and on earth he made you to see his great fire; and you heard his words out of the midst of the fire.

37 Because he loved your fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought you out with his presence, with his great power, out of Egypt;

38 to drive out nations from before you greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as at this day.

39 Know therefore this day, and lay it to your heart, that Yahweh he is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is none else.

40 You shall keep his statutes, and his commandments, which I command you this day, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land, which Yahweh your God gives you, forever.

41 Then Moses set apart three cities beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise;

42 that the manslayer might flee there, who kills his neighbor unawares, and didn't hate him in time past; and that fleeing to one of these cities he might live:

43 [namely], Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites.

44 This is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:

45 these are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Moses spoke to the children of Israel, when they came forth out of Egypt,

46 beyond the Jordan, in the valley over against Beth Peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel struck, when they came forth out of Egypt.

47 They took his land in possession, and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise;

48 from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, even to Mount Sion (the same is Hermon),

49 and all the Arabah beyond the Jordan eastward, even to the sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah.
