Išėjimas 20

Studie

   

1 Dievas kalbėjo visus šiuos žodžius:

2 “Aš esu Viešpats, tavo Dievas, kuris tave išvedžiau iš Egipto žemės, iš vergijos namų.

3 Neturėk kitų dievų šalia manęs.

4 Nedaryk sau jokio drožinio nei jokio atvaizdo to, kas yra aukštai danguje, žemai žemėje ar po žeme vandenyje.

5 Nesilenk prieš juos ir netarnauk jiems! Nes Aš, Viešpats, tavo Dievas, esu pavydus Dievas, baudžiąs vaikus už tėvų kaltes iki trečios ir ketvirtos kartos tų, kurie manęs nekenčia,

6 bet rodąs gailestingumą iki tūkstantosios kartos tiems, kurie mane myli ir laikosi mano įsakymų.

7 Netark Viešpaties, savo Dievo, vardo be reikalo, nes Viešpats nepaliks be kaltės to, kuris be reikalo mini Jo vardą.

8 Atsimink sabato dieną, kad ją švęstum.

9 Šešias dienas dirbk ir atlik visus savo darbus,

10 o septintoji diena yra sabatas Viešpačiui, tavo Dievui. Joje nevalia dirbti jokio darbo nei tau, nei tavo sūnui ar dukteriai, nei tavo tarnui ar tarnaitei, nei tavo gyvuliui, nei ateiviui, kuris yra tavo namuose,

11 nes per šešias dienas Viešpats sukūrė dangų, žemę, jūrą ir visa, kas juose yra, o septintąją dieną ilsėjosi. Todėl Viešpats palaimino sabatą ir pašventino jį.

12 Gerbk savo tėvą ir motiną, kad ilgai gyventum žemėje, kurią Viešpats Dievas tau duoda.

13 Nežudyk.

14 Nesvetimauk.

15 Nevok.

16 Neliudyk neteisingai prieš savo artimą.

17 Negeisk savo artimo namų, negeisk savo artimo žmonos, nei jo tarno, nei tarnaitės, nei jaučio, nei asilo—nieko, kas yra tavo artimo”.

18 Visi žmonės girdėjo griaustinį ir trimito garsą, matė žaibus ir rūkstantį kalną. Matydami tai žmonės atsitraukė ir stovėjo atokiai.

19 Jie sakė Mozei: “Tu kalbėk su mumis! Mes klausysime. Tačiau tenekalba su mumis Dievas, kad nemirtume!”

20 Mozė atsakė žmonėms: “Nebijokite! Dievas atėjo tam, kad jus išmėgintų, ir kad Jo baimė būtų prieš jus ir jūs nenusidėtumėte”.

21 Žmonės stovėjo toli, o Mozė priartėjo prie tamsaus debesies, kur buvo Dievas.

22 Viešpats liepė Mozei pasakyti izraelitams: “Jūs patys girdėjote, kad Aš iš dangaus kalbėjau su jumis.

23 Nedarykite šalia manęs sau sidabrinių ar auksinių dievų.

24 Padaryk man iš žemės aukurą ir aukok ant jo deginamąsias ir padėkos aukas, savo avis ir galvijus. Kiekvienoje vietoje, kurioje bus minimas mano vardas, Aš ateisiu ir laiminsiu tave.

25 O jei man statysi akmeninį aukurą, nestatyk jo iš tašytų akmenų, nes, naudodamas įrankį, suterši jį.

26 Taip pat nelipk laiptais prie mano aukuro, kad nebūtų atidengtas tavo nuogumas”.

1022. To give unto her the cup of the wrath of His anger, signifies its devastation through direful falsities of evil. This is evident from the signification of a "cup," as being falsity from hell, which is the falsity of evil (See n. 960; and as it appears as if God were wrathful and angry on account of this it is called "the cup of the wrath of the anger of God," "wrath" on account of the falsity, and "anger" on account of the evil. So "to give unto her that cup" signifies to devastate, for the falsity of evil from hell devastates the church as to all good and truth. That the church meant by "Babylon" has been thus devastated will be made evident from the two following chapters.

(The Tenth Commandment)

[2] "Thou shalt not covet (or desire) thy neighbor's wife, his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass." These are lusts after what is man's own, because the wife, manservant, maidservant, ox, and ass, are within his house, and the things within a man's house mean in the spiritual internal sense the things that are his own, that is, the wife means the affection of spiritual truth and good, "manservant and maidservant," the affection of rational truth and good serving the spiritual, and "ox and ass" the affection of natural good and truth. These signify in the Word such affections; but because coveting and desiring these affections means to will and eagerly desire to subject a man to one's own authority or bidding, it follows that lusting after these affections means the lusts of the love of self, that is, of the love of ruling, for thus does one make the things belonging to a companion to be his own.

[3] From this it can now be seen that the lust of the ninth commandment is the lust of the love of the world, and that the lusts of this commandment are lusts of the love of self. For, as has been said before, all lusts are of love, for it is love that covets; and as there are two evil loves to which all lusts have reference, namely, the love of the world and the love of self, it follows that the lust of the ninth commandment has reference to the love of the world, and the lust of this commandment to the love of self, especially to the love of ruling. (That all evils and the falsities therefrom flow from these two loves may be seen above, n. 159, 171, 394, 506, 517, 650, 950, 951, 973, 982, 1010, 1016; and in the New Jerusalem and its Heavenly Doctrine, n. 65-83.)

Apocalypse Explained # 517

517. And there fell from heaven a great star burning as a lamp, signifies the truth of the Word falsified by self-love. This is evident from the signification of "stars," as being the knowledges of truth and good, likewise the truths and goods of knowledges from the Word (See above, n. 72, 402); also from the signification of "burning as a lamp," as being to be falsified by self-love; "to burn" is predicated of self-love because this love is signified by "fire" (See above, n. 504, and a "lamp" signifies the truth of the Word, of doctrine, and of faith (See also above, n. 274. From this it can be seen that "there fell from heaven a great star burning as a lamp" signifies the truth of the Word falsified by self-love.

[2] It is to be noted that all those who are in the love of self, if they study the Word, falsify its truths, for the reason that all truth is out of heaven from the Lord, and nothing of it from what is man's own [proprium], and those who are in the love of self are immersed in what is their own [proprium], and from that they obtain every idea of thought respecting the truths of the Word. In consequence of this they falsify these truths, not in respect to the sense of the letter of the Word, but in respect to the understanding of the truth that is in it; for to understand words otherwise than according to their true sense is to falsify them.

[3] There are two states of man's thoughts, one when from the Lord he is in thought respecting truths, the other when from himself. When from the Lord he is in thought respecting truths his mind is elevated even into the light of heaven, from which he has illustration and right perception of truth; but when from himself he is in thought respecting truths, his mind falls into the light of the world; and that light, in respect to things spiritual, or the things of heaven and the church, is thick darkness, in which man sees only such things as shine from the fire or the love of self and of the world, and these in themselves are falsities that are opposites of truths.
