Exodus 19

Studie

   

1 Mense tertio egressionis Israël de terra Ægypti, in die hac venerunt in solitudinem Sinai.

2 Nam profecti de Raphidim, et pervenientes usque in desertum Sinai, castrametati sunt in eodem loco, ibique Israël fixit tentoria e regione montis.

3 Moyses autem ascendit ad Deum : vocavitque eum Dominus de monte, et ait : Hæc dices domui Jacob, et annuntiabis filiis Israël :

4 Vos ipsi vidistis quæ fecerim Ægyptiis, quomodo portaverim vos super alas aquilarum, et assumpserim mihi.

5 Si ergo audieritis vocem meam, et custodieritis pactum meum, eritis mihi in peculium de cunctis populis : mea est enim omnis terra :

6 et vos eritis mihi in regnum sacerdotale, et gens sancta. Hæc sunt verba quæ loqueris ad filios Israël.

7 Venit Moyses : et convocatis majoribus natu populi, exposuit omnes sermones quos mandaverat Dominus.

8 Responditque omnis populus simul : Cuncta quæ locutus est Dominus, faciemus. Cumque retulisset Moyses verba populi ad Dominum,

9 ait ei Dominus : Jam nunc veniam ad te in caligine nubis, ut audiat me populus loquentem ad te, et credat tibi in perpetuum. Nuntiavit ergo Moyses verba populi ad Dominum.

10 Qui dixit ei : Vade ad populum, et sanctifica illos hodie, et cras, laventque vestimenta sua.

11 Et sint parati in diem tertium : in die enim tertia descendet Dominus coram omni plebe super montem Sinai.

12 Constituesque terminos populo per circuitum, et dices ad eos : Cavete ne ascendatis in montem, nec tangatis fines illius : omnis qui tetigerit montem, morte morietur.

13 Manus non tanget eum, sed lapidibus opprimetur, aut confodietur jaculis : sive jumentum fuerit, sive homo, non vivet : cum cœperit clangere buccina, tunc ascendant in montem.

14 Descenditque Moyses de monte ad populum, et sanctificavit eum. Cumque lavissent vestimenta sua,

15 ait ad eos : Estote parati in diem tertium, et ne appropinquetis uxoribus vestris.

16 Jamque advenerat tertius dies, et mane inclaruerat : et ecce cœperunt audiri tonitrua, ac micare fulgura, et nubes densissima operire montem, clangorque buccinæ vehementius perstrepebat : et timuit populus qui erat in castris.

17 Cumque eduxisset eos Moyses in occursum Dei de loco castrorum, steterunt ad radices montis.

18 Totus autem mons Sinai fumabat, eo quod descendisset Dominus super eum in igne : et ascenderet fumus ex eo quasi de fornace, eratque omnis mons terribilis.

19 Et sonitus buccinæ paulatim crescebat in majus, et prolixius tendebatur : Moyses loquebatur, et Deus respondebat ei.

20 Descenditque Dominus super montem Sinai in ipso montis vertice, et vocavit Moysen in cacumen ejus. Quo cum ascendisset,

21 dixit ad eum : Descende, et contestare populum : ne forte velit transcendere terminos ad videndum Dominum, et pereat ex eis plurima multitudo.

22 Sacerdotes quoque qui accedunt ad Dominum, sanctificentur, ne percutiat eos.

23 Dixitque Moyses ad Dominum : Non poterit vulgus ascendere in montem Sinai : tu enim testificatus es, et jussisti, dicens : Pone terminos circa montem, et sanctifica illum.

24 Cui ait Dominus : Vade, descende : ascendesque tu, et Aaron tecum : sacerdotes autem et populus ne transeant terminos, nec ascendant ad Dominum, ne forte interficiat illos.

25 Descenditque Moyses ad populum, et omnia narravit eis.

8785. Verses 10-13 And Jehovah said to Moses, Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow; and let them wash their garments. And they will be ready by the third day; for on the third day Jehovah will come down before the eyes of all the people onto Mount Sinai. And you are to set bounds for the people round about, saying, Take care not to go up into the mountain or to touch the border of it, everyone touching the mountain will surely die. Let no hand touch it, for he will surely be stoned or will be killed by being shot with arrows; whether it is a beast or a man, it shall not live. When there is a long sounding with the jobel 1 they shall go up into the mountain.

'And Jehovah said to Moses' means revelation regarding preparation. 'Go to the people' means a joining together. 'And sanctify them today and tomorrow' means covering over their interiors in order that those people may appear now and subsequently in the holiness of faith. 'And let them wash their garments' means the purification of truths. 'And they will be ready by the third day' means thus full and complete preparation. 'For on the third day' means because at the end, when they have been prepared to receive ... 'Jehovah will come down before the eyes of all the people' means, the coming of the Lord will occur, and enlightenment at that time. 'Onto Mount Sinai' means into the good in which truth is to be implanted. 'And you are to set bounds for the people round about' means not extending into heaven beyond the spiritual spheres of good. 'Saying, Take care not to go up into the mountain' means that there must be no extension whatever to celestial communities which have the love of good. 'Or to touch the border of it' means that there must be no extension even to intermediate parts. 'Everyone touching the mountain will surely die' means that anyone belonging to the spiritual Church who forces his way through to celestial communities will be destroyed. 'Let no hand touch it' means those who have enough arrogant self-confidence to force their way through. 'For he will surely be stoned' means that as a result the truths of faith which they possess will be destroyed. 'Or will be killed by being shot with arrows' means that spiritual good too [will be destroyed] 'Whether it is a beast or a man, it shall not live' means that goodness and truth will lose their spiritual life. 'When there is a long sounding with the jobel' means those who have a general perception of celestial good. 'They shall go up into the mountain' means extension all the way to those who are celestial.
