Exodus 24

Studie

   

1 Moysi quoque dixit : Ascende ad Dominum tu, et Aaron, Nadab et Abiu, et septuaginta senes ex Israël, et adorabitis procul.

2 Solusque Moyses ascendet ad Dominum, et illi non appropinquabunt : nec populus ascendet cum eo.

3 Venit ergo Moyses et narravit plebi omnia verba Domini, atque judicia : responditque omnis populus una voce : Omnia verba Domini, quæ locutus est, faciemus.

4 Scripsit autem Moyses universos sermones Domini : et mane consurgens, ædificavit altare ad radices montis, et duodecim titulos per duodecim tribus Israël.

5 Misitque juvenes de filiis Israël, et obtulerunt holocausta, immolaveruntque victimas pacificas Domino, vitulos.

6 Tulit itaque Moyses dimidiam partem sanguinis, et misit in crateras : partem autem residuam fudit super altare.

7 Assumensque volumen fœderis, legit audiente populo : qui dixerunt : Omnia quæ locutus est Dominus, faciemus, et erimus obedientes.

8 Ille vero sumptum sanguinem respersit in populum, et ait : Hic est sanguis fœderis quod pepigit Dominus vobiscum super cunctis sermonibus his.

9 Ascenderuntque Moyses et Aaron, Nadab et Abiu, et septuaginta de senioribus Israël :

10 et viderunt Deum Israël : et sub pedibus ejus quasi opus lapidis sapphirini, et quasi cælum, cum serenum est.

11 Nec super eos qui procul recesserant de filiis Israël, misit manum suam, videruntque Deum, et comederunt, ac biberunt.

12 Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen : Ascende ad me in montem, et esto ibi : daboque tibi tabulas lapideas, et legem, ac mandata quæ scripsi : ut doceas eos.

13 Surrexerunt Moyses et Josue minister ejus : ascendensque Moyses in montem Dei,

14 senioribus ait : Expectate hic donec revertamur ad vos. Habetis Aaron et Hur vobiscum : si quid natum fuerit quæstionis, referetis ad eos.

15 Cumque ascendisset Moyses, operuit nubes montem,

16 et habitavit gloria Domini super Sinai, tegens illum nube sex diebus : septimo autem die vocavit eum de medio caliginis.

17 Erat autem species gloriæ Domini quasi ignis ardens super verticem montis in conspectu filiorum Israël.

18 Ingressusque Moyses medium nebulæ, ascendit in montem : et fuit ibi quadraginta diebus, et quadraginta noctibus.

Aaron

The Third Plague of Egypt, by William de Brailes, illustrates the flies, or gnats, rising from the dust. This page from Walters manuscript W.106 depicts a scene from Exodus, in which God rained plagues upon Egypt. After plagues of blood and frogs, Pharaoh hardened his heart again and would not let the Israelites leave Egypt. God told Moses to tell Aaron to stretch forth his rod and strike the dust of the earth that it may become gnats throughout the land of Egypt. Here, Moses, horned (a sign of his encounter with divinity), carries the rod, while Aaron, wearing the miter of a priest, stands behind him. The gnats arise en masse out of the dust from which they were made and attack Pharaoh, seated and crowned, and his retinue.

Aaron was the brother of Moses. He symbolizes two things, at different stages of the story.

During the first part of the exodus, when he was Moses' spokesperson, Moses represents the Word as it truly is, as it is understood in heaven, while Aaron represents the Word in its external sense, as it is understood by people in the world. This is why Aaron talks for Moses, and the Lord says of him "he shall be as a mouth for you, and you shall be to him as God." (Exodus 4:16)

Later, after the Tabernacle was built and he was inaugurated as high priest (see Leviticus 8,9), Aaron represents the Lord as to the Divine Good, and Moses represents the Lord as to the Divine Truth.

In Exodus 28:1, Aaron signifies the conjunction of Divine Good with Divine Truth in the Divine Human of the Lord. (Arcana Coelestia 9806, 9936)

In Exodus 32:1, Aaron represents the external of the Word, of the church, and of worship, separate from the internal. (Arcana Coelestia 10397)

In Exodus 4:14, before he was initiated into the priesthood, Aaron represents the doctrine of good and truth. (Arcana Coelestia 6998)
