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.

Night

  

The sun in the Bible represents the Lord, with its heat representing His love and its light representing His wisdom. “Daytime,” then, represents a state in which we are turned toward the Lord, receiving His love and being enlightened by His truth. And “nighttime,” obviously, represents states in which we are turned away from the Lord, left cold and blind to the truth. The most common word used for it in the New Christian theology is “obscurity.” The darkness is not absolute, of course. The light of the moon represents the understanding we can have based on facts and our own intelligence. But while the moon reflects some of the sun's light, it offers almost no heat, so this kind of understanding is a cold one, without the warmth of love. And at its darkest and coldest, night represents a state of judgment. This happens when a person -- or a church -- becomes so mired in evil and falsity that there is no light or heat. The Lord can then step in, separate the good from the evil, consign the evil to hell and begin rebuilding based on the remnant that is still good. Drastic as that sounds, it is something that we all go through repeatedly in various aspects of our loves, so that we can be rid of what is evil and let the Lord rebuild us as angels.
