Išėjimas 31

Studie

   

1 Ir Viešpats kalbėjo Mozei:

2 “Aš pašaukiau vardu Hūro sūnaus Ūrio sūnų Becalelį iš Judo giminės

3 ir jį pripildžiau Dievo dvasios, išminties, sumanumo, pažinimo ir amato išmanymo,

4 kad sugebėtų viską padaryti iš aukso, sidabro, vario,

5 brangių akmenų ir medžio.

6 Daviau jam padėjėją Ahisamako sūnų Oholiabą iš Dano giminės; kiekvienam daviau išmintį padaryti viską, apie ką tau kalbėjau.

7 Jie padarys Susitikimo palapinę, Liudijimo skrynią, jos dangtį ir visus palapinės reikmenis:

8 stalą su jo priedais, gryno aukso žvakidę su jos priedais, aukurus smilkymui

9 ir deginamosioms aukoms bei visus jų reikmenis, praustuvę su jos stovu,

10 tarnavimo apdarus ir šventus drabužius kunigui Aaronui ir jo sūnums, kad būtų man kunigais,

11 patepimo aliejų, kvepiančius smilkalus šventyklai­viską, ką tau įsakiau, jie padarys”.

12 Viešpats toliau kalbėjo Mozei:

13 “Kalbėk izraelitams: ‘Privalote laikytis sabato, nes tai yra ženklas tarp manęs ir jūsų kartų kartoms, kad žinotumėte, jog Aš esu Viešpats, kuris jus pašventinu.

14 Laikykitės sabato, nes jis šventas; kas jį suterš, turi mirti. Kas dirbs tą dieną, bus išnaikintas iš savo tautos.

15 Šešias dienas dirbsite, o septintoji diena yra sabatas­poilsis, pašvęstas Viešpačiui. Kiekvienas, kuris dirbs sabato dieną, turi mirti.

16 Izraelitai privalo laikytis sabato per visas savo kartas kaip amžinos sandoros

17 tarp manęs ir Izraelio vaikų. Nes Viešpats per šešias dienas sukūrė dangų ir žemę, o septintąją dieną ilsėjosi ir atsigaivino’ ”.

18 Baigęs kalbėti, Viešpats davė Mozei ant Sinajaus kalno dvi akmenines liudijimo plokštes, parašytas Dievo pirštu.

God

  
Ancient of Days, by William Blake

When the Bible speaks of "Jehovah," it is representing love itself, the inmost love that is the essence of the Lord. That divine love is one, whole and complete in itself, and Jehovah also is one, a name applied only to the Lord. The divine love expresses itself in the form of wisdom. Love, then, is the essence of God -- His inmost. Wisdom -- the loving understanding of how to put love into action -- is slightly more external, giving love a way to express itself. Wisdom, however, is expressed in a great variety of thoughts and ideas, what the Writings collectively call divine truth. There are also many imaginary gods, and sometimes angels and people can be called gods (the Lord said Moses would be as a god to Aaron). So when the Bible calls the Lord "God," it is in most cases referring to divine truth. In other cases, "God" has reference to what is called the divine human. The case there is this: As human beings, we cannot engage the Lord directly as divine love. It is too powerful and too pure. Instead, we have to approach Him by understanding Him through divine truth. Divine truth, then, is the Lord in human form, a form we can approach and understand. Thus "God" is also used in reference to this human aspect, because it is an expression of truth.

156. (vi) A PERSON'S SPIRIT IS HIS MIND, AND WHATEVER COMES FROM IT.

A person's spirit, regarded as an object, is nothing but his mind. It is this which lives on after death, and it is then called a spirit; if he is good, an angelic spirit and later an angel, if wicked, a satanic spirit and afterwards a Satan. Everyone's mind is his internal man, which is the real person and resides within the external man composed of his body. So when the body is cast off as the result of death, the internal man has a fully human form. Those, then, are in error who believe that a person's mind resides only in his head. There it is only in its beginnings, from which first emerge everything a person's understanding allows him to think and his will induces him to do. But in the body the mind is present in derivatives from those beginnings, and these have been so constructed as to permit sensation and action. Since it is inwardly attached to the bodily structures, it imparts to them sensation and movement, together with a feeling that the body thinks and acts of itself. Yet every intelligent person knows that this is a fallacy. Now since a person's spirit is allowed by his understanding to think and is induced by his will to act, and the body does not do so of itself but from the spirit, it follows that a person's spirit means his intelligence and the affection of his love, and everything which comes from it and acts.

[2] There are numerous passages in the Word to prove that a person's spirit means such things as are to do with the mind; their mere quotation will show anyone that this is so. The following are a few among many:

Bezaleel was filled with the spirit of wisdom, intelligence and knowledge, Exodus 31:3.

Nebuchadnezzar said of Daniel that an outstanding spirit of knowledge, intelligence and wisdom was in him, Daniel 5:12, 14.

Joshua was filled with the spirit of wisdom, Deuteronomy 34:9.

Make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit, Ezekiel 18:31.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for of such is the kingdom of the heavens, Matthew 5:3.

I dwell in a broken and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, Isaiah 57:15.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, Psalms 51:17.

I will give a cloak of praise in place of a depressed spirit, Isaiah 61:3.

Spirit also stands for the products of a wrong and unjust mind, as these passages prove:

He said to the foolish prophets, who run after their own spirit, Ezekiel 13:3.

Conceive chaff, bring forth stubble; as to your spirit, fire shall devour you, Isaiah 33:11.

A man who is in spirit a vagabond and utters a lie, Micah 2:11.

A generation whose spirit is not steadfast with God, Psalms 78:8.

A spirit of whoring, Hosea 4:12; 5:4.

That every heart may melt and every spirit be depressed, Ezekiel 21:7.

That which rises upon your spirit shall never be, Ezekiel 20:32.

Provided there is no deceit in his spirit, Psalms 32:2.

The spirit of Pharaoh was troubled, Genesis 41:8.

Likewise that of Nebuchadnezzar, Daniel 2:3.

These and very many other passages plainly establish that spirit means a person's mind and what is to do with it.
