Exodus 20

Studie

   

1 Locutusque est Dominus cunctos sermones hos :

2 Ego sum Dominus Deus tuus, qui eduxi te de terra Ægypti, de domo servitutis.

3 Non habebis deos alienos coram me.

4 Non facies tibi sculptile, neque omnem similitudinem quæ est in cælo desuper, et quæ in terra deorsum, nec eorum quæ sunt in aquis sub terra.

5 Non adorabis ea, neque coles : ego sum Dominus Deus tuus fortis, zelotes, visitans iniquitatem patrum in filios, in tertiam et quartam generationem eorum qui oderunt me :

6 et faciens misericordiam in millia his qui diligunt me, et custodiunt præcepta mea.

7 Non assumes nomen Domini Dei tui in vanum : nec enim habebit insontem Dominus eum qui assumpserit nomen Domini Dei sui frustra.

8 Memento ut diem sabbati sanctifices.

9 Sex diebus operaberis, et facies omnia opera tua.

10 Septimo autem die sabbatum Domini Dei tui est : non facies omne opus in eo, tu, et filius tuus et filia tua, servus tuus et ancilla tua, jumentum tuum, et advena qui est intra portas tuas.

11 Sex enim diebus fecit Dominus cælum et terram, et mare, et omnia quæ in eis sunt, et requievit in die septimo : idcirco benedixit Dominus diei sabbati, et sanctificavit eum.

12 Honora patrem tuum et matrem tuam, ut sis longævus super terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi.

13 Non occides.

14 Non mœchaberis.

15 Non furtum facies.

16 Non loqueris contra proximum tuum falsum testimonium.

17 Non concupisces domum proximi tui, nec desiderabis uxorem ejus, non servum, non ancillam, non bovem, non asinum, nec omnia quæ illius sunt.

18 Cunctus autem populus videbat voces et lampades, et sonitum buccinæ, montemque fumantem : et perterriti ac pavore concussi, steterunt procul,

19 dicentes Moysi : Loquere tu nobis, et audiemus : non loquatur nobis Dominus, ne forte moriamur.

20 Et ait Moyses ad populum : Nolite timere : ut enim probaret vos venit Deus, et ut terror illius esset in vobis, et non peccaretis.

21 Stetitque populus de longe. Moyses autem accessit ad caliginem in qua erat Deus.

22 Dixit præterea Dominus ad Moysen : Hæc dices filiis Israël : Vos vidistis quod de cælo locutus sim vobis.

23 Non facietis deos argenteos, nec deos aureos facietis vobis.

24 Altare de terra facietis mihi, et offeretis super eo holocausta et pacifica vestra, oves vestras et boves in omni loco in quo memoria fuerit nominis mei : veniam ad te, et benedicam tibi.

25 Quod si altare lapideum feceris mihi, non ædificabis illud de sectis lapidibus : si enim levaveris cultrum super eo, polluetur.

26 Non ascendes per gradus ad altare meum, ne reveletur turpitudo tua.

8715. 'And rulers of tens' means first and foremost truths in third place. This is clear from the meaning of 'rulers' as first and foremost truths, as above; and from the meaning of 'tens' also as much or many, but in a smaller degree since they come below hundreds. For the meaning of 'tens' or 'ten' also as many, see 3107, 4638.

The placement of the rulers over a thousand, over a hundred, or over ten, represented in the abstract sense, separately from any idea of numbers, many truths in first, second, and third degrees. This use of the numbers is like that found elsewhere in the Word, for example where the Lord said of the servant that he owed ten thousand talents and that the fellow-servant owed him a hundred denarii, Matthew 18:24, 28, and where He speaks of the king, about to make war against another king, considering whether He was able with ten thousand to meet the other who was coming with twenty thousand, Luke 14:31.

Likewise in John,

An angel coming down from heaven laid hold of the dragon, and bound him for a thousand years, and cast him into the abyss, so that he should not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years had come to an end. The rest of the dead did not live again before the thousand years came to an end. This is the first resurrection. Revelation 20:1-3, 5, 7.

Here 'a thousand' does not mean a thousand but much, without the idea of some number.

Likewise in Moses,

Jehovah shows mercy to a thousand generations who love Him. Exodus 20:6; Deuteronomy 5:9-10; 7:9; Jeremiah 32:18.

In David,

The word He has commanded to a thousand generations. Psalms 105:8.

In the same author,

A thousand will fall at your side, and a myriad at your right hand; it will not come near you. Psalms 91:7.

In the same author,

The chariots of God are myriad on myriad 1 , thousands of peacemakers. Psalms 68:17.

In the same author,

Our flocks are thousands, and ten thousands in our streets. Psalms 144:13.

In the same author,

A thousand years in Your eyes are as a day. Psalms 90:4.

The situation is much the same with a hundred and with ten, for a smaller number or a factor is similar in meaning to the powers of that number, 5291, 5335, 5708, 7973. For the meaning of 'a hundred' and 'ten' also as much, see 3107, 4400, 4638.
