出エジプト記 19

Studie

   

1 イスラエルの人々は、エジプトの地を出て後目のそのに、シナイの荒野にはいった。

2 すなわち彼らはレピデムを出立してシナイの荒野に入り、荒野宿営した。イスラエルはその所での前に宿営した。

3 さて、モーセ神のもとに登ると、から彼を呼んで言われた、「このように、ヤコブのに言い、イスラエルの人々に告げなさい、

4 『あなたがたは、わたしがエジプトびとにした事と、あなたがたをに載せてわたしの所にこさせたことを見た

5 それで、もしあなたがたが、まことにわたしの声に聞き従い、わたしの契約を守るならば、あなたがたはすべての民にまさって、わたしのとなるであろう。全地はわたしの所有だからである。

6 あなたがたはわたしに対して祭司のとなり、また聖なる民となるであろう』。これがあなたのイスラエルの人々にるべき言葉である」。

7 それでモーセは行って民の長老たちを呼び、命じられたこれらの言葉を、すべてそのに述べたので、

8 民はみな共に答えて言った、「われわれはが言われたことを、みな行います」。モーセは民の言葉に告げた。

9 モーセに言われた、「見よ、わたしは濃いのうちにあって、あなたに臨むであろう。それはわたしがあなたとるのを民に聞かせて、彼らに長くあなたを信じさせるためである」。

10 モーセに言われた、「あなたは民のところに行って、きょうとあす、彼らをきよめ、彼らにその衣服を洗わせ、

11 までに備えさせなさい。が、すべての民のの前で、シナイ下るからである。

12 あなたは民のために、周囲に境を設けて言いなさい、『あなたがたは注意して、に上らず、また、その境界に触れないようにしなさい。触れる者は必ず殺されるであろう。

13 をそれに触れてはならない。触れる者は必ず石で打ち殺されるか、射殺されるであろう。でも人でも生きることはできない』。ラッパが長く響いた時、彼らはに登ることができる」と。

14 そこでモーセから民のところに下り、民をきよめた。彼らはその衣服を洗った。

15 モーセは民に言った、「目までに備えをしなさい。女に近づいてはならない」。

16 目のとなって、かみなりと、いなずまと厚いとが、の上にあり、ラッパの音が、はなはだ高く響いたので、宿営におる民はみな震えた。

17 モーセが民をに会わせるために、宿営から導き出したので、彼らはのふもとに立った。

18 シナイは全った。のなかにあって、その上に下られたからである。そのは、かまどののように立ち上り、全はげしく震えた。

19 ラッパの音が、いよいよ高くなったとき、モーセは語り、は、かみなりをもって、彼に答えられた。

20 はシナイの頂に下られた。そしてモーセの頂に召されたので、モーセは登った。

21 モーセに言われた、「下って行って民を戒めなさい。民が押し破って、主のところにきて、見ようとし、多くのものが死ぬことのないようにするためである。

22 に近づく祭司たちにもまた、その身をきよめさせなさい。が彼らを打つことのないようにするためである」。

23 モーセに言った、「民はシナイに登ることはできないでしょう。あなたがわたしたちを戒めて『のまわりに境を設け、それをきよめよ』と言われたからです」。

24 は彼に言われた、「行け、下れ。そしてあなたはアロンと共に登ってきなさい。ただし、祭司たちと民とが、押し破って主のところに登ることのないようにしなさい。が彼らを打つことのないようにするためである」。

25 モーセは民の所に下って行って彼らに告げた。

10543. By Mount Horeb. That this signifies in the external things of worship, of the church, and of the Word, is evident from the signification of “Mount Horeb,” as being Divine truth in the external things, for Horeb was a mountainous region around Mount Sinai; and by “Mount Sinai” is signified Divine truth. Consequently “Horeb,” being a mountainous region round about it, signifies Divine truth in external things; for that which is in the midst and which is high above the things that lie round about, signifies what is internal; and consequently by that which is round about and beneath is signified what is external. (That “Mount Sinai” signifies Divine truth, see n. 8805, 9420; that “the midst” denotes what is internal, n. 1074, 2940, 2973, 5897, 6084, 6103, 9164; in like manner what is high, n. 2148, 4210, 4599, 9489, 9773, 10181; and that “roundabout” denotes what is external, n. 2973; in like manner “beneath.”) As the people were in external things, and not in what is internal, therefore when the Law was promulgated from Mount Sinai, they stood in Horeb beneath the mountain, and the mountain was hedged about to prevent its being touched by the people (Exodus 19:12-13, 21-24; 20:18; Deuteronomy 4:11-12). It is said “the external of worship, of the church, and of the Word,” because the external of one is the external of the other, for worship belongs to the church, and the truths and goods of the church and of its worship are from the Word; and therefore those who are in the externals of worship and of the church are in the externals of the Word.

8805. And Moses went down from the mountain unto the people. That this signifies application and preparation through truth from the Divine for receiving truths in good, is evident from the signification of “going down,” when said of Moses, by whom is represented truth from the Divine, as being application, and also preparation, through it; from the representation of Moses, as being truth from the Divine (see n. 8760, 8787), and also as being what mediates (n. 8787), thus likewise what prepares and applies; from the signification of “the mountain,” as being the Divine in heaven, thus heaven; and from the representation of the sons of Israel, as being those who are of the spiritual church, thus those who are in truth through which is good, and in good from which is truth, here in the good in which truths are to be received. It is important to know what is specifically signified by “Mount Sinai;” and also what is represented by the people Israel, and likewise what by Moses in this chapter and in the following chapters of the book of Exodus.

[2] By “MOUNT SINAI” is specifically signified heaven, out of which truths flow in from the Lord; therefore by “the coming down of Jehovah upon that mountain” is signified His presence in heaven. And as heaven, in which Jehovah is, that is, the Lord, is signified by “Mount Sinai,” by it is also signified Divine good united to Divine truth there, for from this heaven is heaven.

[3] But by the “PEOPLE ISRAEL” near this mountain is represented the spiritual church as to the good in which the truths of faith are to be implanted; for it has been already shown that they who are of the spiritual church have two states; the former when they are led through truths to good, the latter when they are in good and from good in truths; in the present case, when they are in the good in which truths are to be implanted, which state is a middle state between the former and the latter. The truths which are implanted in good are contained in those things which were promulgated from Mount Sinai by the Lord, and were communicated by Moses to the people.

[4] By “MOSES” in this chapter and in the following chapters is represented truth from the Divine beneath heaven conjoined with truth Divine in heaven, and consequently mediating between the Divine in heaven and the good in which truths are to be implanted which belongs to the spiritual church, thus mediating between the Lord and the people. It is important to know these things for the sake of understanding what follows in the book of Exodus. From all this it can also be seen that by “Moses went down from the mountain unto the people” is signified application and preparation by means of truth from the Divine for receiving truths in good.
