신명기 5

Studie

   

1 모세가 온 이스라엘을 불러 그들에게 이르되 이스라엘아 ! 오늘 내가 너희 귀에 말하는 규례와 법도를 듣고 그것을 배우며 지켜 행하라 !

2 우리 하나님 여호와께서 호렙산에서 우리와 언약을 세우셨나니

3 이 언약은 여호와께서 우리 열조와 세우신 것이 아니요 오늘날 여기 살아 있는 우리 곧 우리와 세우신 것이라

4 여호와께서 산 위 불 가운데서 너희와 대면하여 말씀하시매

5 그 때에 너희가 불을 두려워하여 산에 오르지 못하므로 내가 여호와와 너희 중간에 서서 여호와의 말씀을 너희에게 전하였노라 여호와께서 가라사대

6 나는 너를 애굽 땅에서 종 되었던 집에서 인도하여 낸 너희 하나님 여호와로라 !

7 나 외에는 위하는 신들을 네게 있게 말지니라 !

8 너는 자기를 위하여 새긴 우상을 만들지 말고 위로 하늘에 있는 것이나, 아래로 땅에 있는 것이나, 땅 밑 물 속에 있는 것의 아무 형상이든지 만들지 말며

9 그것들에게 절하지 말며 그것들을 섬기지 말라 ! 나 여호와 너의 하나님은 질투하는 하나님인즉 나를 미워하는 자의 죄를 갚되 아비로부터 아들에게로 삼 사대까지 이르게 하거니와

10 나를 사랑하고 내 계명을 지키는 자에게는 천대까지 은혜를 베푸느니라 !

11 너는 너의 하나님 여호와의 이름을 망령되이 일컫지 말라 ! 나 여호와는 나의 이름을 망령되이 일컫는 자를 죄 없는 줄로 인정치 아니하리라

12 여호와 너의 하나님이 네게 명한대로 안식일을 지켜 거룩하게 하라 !

13 엿새 동안은 힘써 네 모든 일을 행할 것이나

14 제 칠일은 너의 하나님 여호와의 안식인즉 너나, 네 아들이나, 네 딸이나, 네 남종이나, 네 여종이나, 네 소나, 네 나귀나, 네 모든 육축이나, 네 문안에 유하는 객이라도 아무 일도 하지 말고 네 남종이나, 네 여종으로 너같이 안식하게 할지니라 !

15 너는 기억하라 ! 네가 애굽 땅에서 종이 되었더니 너의 하나님 여호와가 강한 손과 편 팔로 너를 거기서 인도하여 내었나니 그러므로 너의 하나님 여호와가 너를 명하여 안식일을 지키라 하느니라

16 너는 너의 하나님 여호와의 명한대로 네 부모를 공경하라 ! 그리하면 너의 하나님 여호와가 네게 준 땅에서 네가 생명이 길고 복을 누리리라 !

17 살인하지 말지니라 !

18 간음하지 말지니라 !

19 도적질 하지 말지니라 !

20 네 이웃에 대하여 거짓 증거하지도 말지니라 !

21 네 이웃의 아내를 탐내지도 말지니라 ! 네 이웃의 집이나, 그의 밭이나, 그의 남종이나, 그의 여종이나, 그의 소나, 그의 나귀나, 무릇 네 이웃의 소유를 탐내지 말지니라 !

22 여호와께서 이 모든 말씀을 산 위 불 가운데, 구름 가운데, 흑암 가운데서, 큰 음성으로 너희 총회에 이르신 후에 더 말씀하지 아니하시고 그것을 두 돌판에 써서 내게 주셨느니라

23 산이 불에 타며 캄캄한 가운데서 나오는 그 소리를 너희가 듣고 너희 지파의 두령과 장로들이 내게 나아와

24 말하되 `우리 하나님 여호와께서 그 영광과 위엄을 우리에게 보이시매 불 가운데서 나오는 음성을 우리가 들었고 하나님이 사람과 말씀하시되 그 사람이 생존하는 것을 오늘날 우리가 보았나이다

25 이제 우리가 죽을 까닭이 무엇이니이까 ? 이 큰 불이 우리를 삼킬 것이요 우리가 우리 하나님 여호와의 음성을 다시 들으면 죽을 것이라

26 무릇 육신을 가진 자가 우리처럼 사시는 하나님의 음성이 불 가운데서 발함을 듣고 생존한 자가 누구니이까 ?

27 당신은 가까이 나아가서 우리 하나님 여호와의 하시는 말씀을 다 듣고 우리 하나님 여호와의 당신에게 이르시는 것을 다 우리에게 전하소서 우리가 듣고 행하겠나이다 !' 하였느니라

28 여호와께서 너희가 내게 말할 때에 너희의 말하는 소리를 들으신지라 여호와께서 내게 이르시되 이 백성이 네게 말하는 그 말소리를 내가 들은즉 그 말이 다 옳도다

29 다만 그들이 항상 이같은 마음을 품어 나를 경외하며 나의 모든 명령을 지켜서 그들과 그 자손이 영원히 복 받기를 원하노라

30 가서 그들에게 각기 장막으로 돌아가라 이르고

31 너는 여기 내 곁에 섰으라 ! 내가 모든 명령과 규례와 법도를 네게 이르리니 너는 그것을 그들에게 가르쳐서 내가 그들에게 기업으로 주는 땅에서 그들로 이를 행하게 하라 하셨나니

32 그런즉 너희 하나님 여호와께서 너희에게 명령하신 대로 너희는 삼가 행하여 좌로나 우로나 치우치지 말고

33 너희 하나님 여호와께서 너희에게 명하신 모든 도를 행하라 ! 그리하면 너희가 삶을 얻고 복을 얻어서 너희의 얻은 땅에서 너희의 날이 장구하리라

8819. 'And Mount Sinai was smoking, the whole of it' means the appearance of celestial good in the greatest obscurity. This is clear from the meaning of 'Mount Sinai' as celestial good, as immediately above in 8818; and from the meaning of 'smoking' as appearance in obscurity. Obscurity is used to mean the obscurity of faith such as those belonging to the spiritual Church possess when compared with those belonging to the celestial Church, 2708 (beginning), 2715, 2718, 2831, 2935, 2937, 3241, 3833, 6289. The greatest obscurity, meant by 'Mount Sinai was smoking, the whole of it' and by the statement just below that 'its smoke went up like the smoke of a furnace', means the obscurity that clouded the understanding of the Israelite nation, before whom the appearance took place. For Jehovah or the Lord appears to everyone according to their true nature, 8788, 8814, so that He appears as love and the light of truth to those governed by good, but as an enemy and avenger to those ruled by evil. His appearance as such to the Israelite people is also clear from other places in Moses,

The appearance of the glory of Jehovah was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain, before the eyes of the children of Israel. Exodus 24:16-17.

In the same author,

You came near and stood at the foot of 1 the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire even to the heart of heaven; there was darkness and cloud and thick darkness. And Jehovah spoke to you out of the midst of the fire. Deuteronomy 4:11-12; 5:22.

And in the same author,

It happened, when you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, and the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to Me and said, Why should we die? For this great fire will devour us; if we hear the voice of Jehovah our God any more we shall die. Deuteronomy 5:23-25.

[2] The reason why this should be so is that no person can help seeing God from such things as are present in himself. The person who is ruled by hatred, for example, sees Him from hatred; and one who is ruled by ruthlessness sees Him in ruthlessness. And on the other hand, the person who is governed by charity and mercy sees Him from these virtues and in them. It is like rays of light, which are converted into hideous colours when they fall on hideous forms, but into beautiful colours when they fall on beautiful forms. The meaning of 'smoke' as the obscurity of truth, and also as the thick darkness belonging to falsity, is clear in Isaiah 9:18-19; 34:9-10; Joel 2:30-31; Hosea 13:1, 3; Revelation 9:17-18; 18:2, 18; 19:3.

Exodus 18

Studie

   

1 Now Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, how that Yahweh had brought Israel out of Egypt.

2 Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, received Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her away,

3 and her two sons. The name of one son was Gershom, for Moses said, "I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land".

4 The name of the other was Eliezer, for he said, "My father's God was my help and delivered me from Pharaoh's sword."

5 Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses into the wilderness where he was encamped, at the Mountain of God.

6 He said to Moses, "I, your father-in-law Jethro, have come to you with your wife, and her two sons with her."

7 Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and bowed and kissed him. They asked each other of their welfare, and they came into the tent.

8 Moses told his father-in-law all that Yahweh had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, all the hardships that had come on them on the way, and how Yahweh delivered them.

9 Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which Yahweh had done to Israel, in that he had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians.

10 Jethro said, "Blessed be Yahweh, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh; who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.

11 Now I know that Yahweh is greater than all gods because of the thing in which they dealt arrogantly against them."

12 Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God. Aaron came with all of the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law before God.

13 It happened on the next day, that Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood around Moses from the morning to the evening.

14 When Moses' father-in-law saw all that he did to the people, he said, "What is this thing that you do for the people? Why do you sit alone, and all the people stand around you from morning to evening?"

15 Moses said to his father-in-law, "Because the people come to me to inquire of God.

16 When they have a matter, they come to me, and I judge between a man and his neighbor, and I make them know the statutes of God, and his laws."

17 Moses' father-in-law said to him, "The thing that you do is not good.

18 You will surely wear away, both you, and this people that is with you; for the thing is too heavy for you. You are not able to perform it yourself alone.

19 Listen now to my voice. I will give you counsel, and God be with you. You represent the people before God, and bring the causes to God.

20 You shall teach them the statutes and the laws, and shall show them the way in which they must walk, and the work that they must do.

21 Moreover you shall provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God: men of truth, hating unjust gain; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

22 Let them judge the people at all times. It shall be that every great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they shall judge themselves. So shall it be easier for you, and they shall share the load with you.

23 If you will do this thing, and God commands you so, then you will be able to endure, and all of these people also will go to their place in peace."

24 So Moses listened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had said.

25 Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

26 They judged the people at all times. They brought the hard causes to Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.

27 Moses let his father-in-law depart, and he went his way into his own land.
