22
Ipse revelat profunda et abscondita, et novit in tenebris constituta : et lux cum eo est.
Daniel 2:22
Arcana Coelestia # 1298
1298. Quod ‘fuit iis later pro lapide’ significet quod falsum iis esset pro vero, constat a significatione ‘lateris’, de qua mox supra, quod sit falsum; tum ex significatione ‘lapidis’ quod sit in lato sensu verum, de quo prius n. 643. Quod ‘lapides’ significaverint verum, causa fuit quod termini antiquissimorum designarentur per lapides et quod erigerent lapides in testes quod ita, seu quod verum, ut constat ex lapide quem posuit Jacobus in statuam, Gen. 28:22; 35:14, et ex statua lapidum inter Labanem et Jacobum, Gen. 31:46, 47, 52, et ex altari quod exstruxerunt filii Reubenis, Gadis et Menassis juxta Jordanem in testem, Jos. 22:10, 28, 34. Inde in Verbo per ‘lapides’ significantur vera, usque adeo ut non solum per lapides altaris, sed etiam per lapides pretiosos super humeris ephodi Aharonis et super pectorali judicii, significata sint sancta vera quae sunt amoris:
[2] quod altare attinet, cum cultus inceptus sacrificiorum super altaribus, tunc ‘altare’ significabat cultum repraesentativum Domini in communi; ipsi autem ‘lapides’ sancta vera illius cultus;
Quare mandatum ut exstrueretur altare ex lapidibus integris, non caesis, et prohibitum ne ferrum moveretur super illis, Deut. 27:5-7; Jos. 8:31;
ex causa quod ‘lapides caesi et super quos ferrum motum’ significarent artificialia, et sic fictitia cultus, hoc est, quae ex proprio, seu ex figmento cogitationis et cordis hominis, quod erat profanare cultum, ut manifeste dicitur Exod. 20:25. Ex eadem causa nec fuit ferrum motum super lapides templi, 1 Reg. 6:7.
[3] Quod lapides pretiosi super humeris ephodi Aharonis et in pectorali judicii similiter significaverint sancta vera, prius n. 114 ostensum est; quod etiam constat apud Esaiam,
Ecce Ego accubare faciam in carbunculo, lapides tuos, et fundabo in sapphiris, et ponam pyropum soles tuos (fenestras), et portas tuas in lapides gemmae, et omnem finem tuum in lapides desiderii; et omnes filii tui docti Jehovae, et multa pax filiorum tuorum, 1 54:11, 12, 13; lapides hic nominati pro sanctis veris, quare dicitur, quod ‘omnes filii tui docti Jehovae’: inde quoque apud Johannem dicitur, Quod fundamenta muri urbis sanctae Hierosolymae essent omni lapide pretioso exornata, quae nominantur, Apoc. 21:19, 20;
‘sancta Hierosolyma’ pro regno Domini in caelis et in terris, cujus ‘fundamenta’ sunt sancta vera. Similiter per tabulas lapidum quibus inscripta fuerunt praecepta Legis seu decem verba, significata sunt sancta vera, quare ex lapide fuerunt, seu fundus illorum fuit lapis, de quibus, Exod. 24:12; 31:18; 34:1; Deut. 5:19 [KJV 5:22]; 10:1, ipsa enim praecepta non sunt nisi vera fidei.
[4] Quia nunc per ‘lapides’ antiquitus significata sunt vera, et dein cum cultus inceptus super statuis, altaribus et in templo, per ‘statuas, altaria, et templum’ significata sunt sancta vera, ideo Dominus quoque dictus ‘Lapis’;
apud Mosen,
Fortis Jacobi, inde Pastor, Lapis Israelis, Gen. 49:24:
apud Esaiam,
Dixit Dominus Jehovih, Ego fundans in Zione Lapidem, Lapidem probationis anguli, pretii, fundamenti fundati, 28:16:
apud Davidem,
Lapis quem reprobarunt architecti, factus est in caput angeli, Ps. 118:22:
similiter apud Danielem,
Per lapidem e petra excisum, qui contrivit statuam Nebuchadnezzaris, 2:34, 35, 45.
[5] Quod ‘lapides’ significent vera, etiam constat apud Esaiam,
Per hoc expiabitur iniquitas Jacobi, et hic erit omnis fructus, removere peccatum suum; cum Posuerit opes lapides altaris sicut lapides calcis dispersos, 27:9;
‘lapides altaris’ pro veris in cultu quae dissipata:
apud eundem,
Complanate viam populi, sternite, sternite semitam, elapidate [e] lapide, 62:10;
‘via et lapis’ pro veris:
apud Jeremiam,
Ego contra te, mons perdens, ... devolvam te de petris et dabo te in montem combustionis; et non sument de te lapidem angulo, aut lapidem fundamentis, 51:25, 26;
ubi de Babele; ‘mons combustionis’ est amor sui; quod ‘non lapis inde’ est quod non verum.

Exodus 20
1
God spoke all these words, saying,
2
"I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3
"You shall have no other gods before me.
4
"You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5
you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me,
6
and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
7
"You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain, for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
8
"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9
You shall labor six days, and do all your work,
10
but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates;
11
for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.
12
"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.
13
"You shall not murder.
14
"You shall not commit adultery.
16
"You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
17
"You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's."
18
All the people perceived the thunderings, the lightnings, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled, and stayed at a distance.
19
They said to Moses, "Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but don't let God Speak with us, lest we die."
20
Moses said to the people, "Don't be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won't sin."
21
The people stayed at a distance, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.
22
Yahweh said to Moses, "This is what you shall tell the children of Israel: 'You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
23
You shall most certainly not make alongside of me gods of silver, or gods of gold for yourselves.
24
You shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will bless you.
25
If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it.
26
Neither shall you go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.'
