Išėjimas 34

Studie

   

1 Viešpats tarė Mozei: “Išsikirsk dvi akmenines plokštes. Aš jose įrašysiu žodžius, kurie buvo sudaužytose plokštėse.

2 ytą būk pasiruošęs, užlipk į Sinajaus kalną ir atsistok mano akivaizdoje.

3 Nė vienas su tavimi tegul neateina ir nė vienas tenepasirodo visame kalne. Taip pat galvijai ir avys tenesigano prie kalno”.

4 Jis iškirto iš akmens dvi plokštes, kokios buvo pirmosios; atsikėlęs anksti rytą, užlipo į Sinajaus kalną, kaip Viešpats buvo įsakęs, nešdamas rankose plokštes.

5 Viešpats nužengė debesyje ir atsistojo šalia jo, ir paskelbė Viešpaties vardą.

6 Viešpats praėjo pro jį ir paskelbė: “Viešpats, Viešpats Dievas, gailestingas ir maloningas, kantrus ir kupinas gerumo bei tiesos,

7 parodantis gailestingumą tūkstančiams, atleidžiantis nusikaltimus, neteisybes ir nuodėmes, tačiau nepaliekantis kalto nenubausto, bet baudžiantis už tėvų nusikaltimus vaikus ir vaikaičius iki trečios ir ketvirtos kartos”.

8 Mozė skubiai nusilenkė iki žemės ir pagarbino Viešpatį.

9 Ir jis sakė: “Jei radau malonę Tavo akyse, Viešpatie, maldauju Tave, eik kartu su mumis, nes tauta yra kietasprandė; atleisk mūsų neteisybes ir nuodėmes, padaryk mus savo nuosavybe!”

10 Viešpats atsakė: “Štai darau sandorą ir visos tavo tautos akyse darysiu stebuklus, kokių niekas nedarė žemėje ir jokiose tautose. Šita tauta matys Viešpaties darbą, nes Aš su tavimi darysiu baisių dalykų.

11 Įsidėmėk, ką šiandien tau įsakau. Aš išvarysiu tavo akivaizdoje amoritus, kanaaniečius, hetitus, perizus, hivus ir jebusiečius.

12 Saugokis ir nedaryk sandoros su tų kraštų gyventojais, kad jie netaptų spąstais tarp jūsų:

13 sugriauk jų aukurus, sutrupink atvaizdus ir iškirsk giraites.

14 Negarbink svetimų dievų, nes Viešpats yra pavydus Dievas.

15 Nedaryk sandoros su anų kraštų žmonėmis, kad kas nors iš jų garbinęs stabus nepasikviestų tavęs jų aukų valgyti.

16 Neimk savo sūnums žmonų iš jų dukterų, kad jos, garbindamos stabus, neįtrauktų ir tavo sūnų garbinti jų dievų.

17 Nepasigamink nulietų dievų.

18 Švęsk Neraugintos duonos šventę. Septynias dienas valgyk neraugintą duoną Abibo mėnesį, kaip įsakiau, nes Abibo mėnesį išėjai iš Egipto.

19 Visų gyvulių pirmagimiai yra mano­patinėliai jautukai ir ėriukai.

20 Asilo pirmagimį išpirksi avinu, o jei jo neišpirksi, nusuk jam sprandą. Pirmagimius savo sūnus išpirk ir nepasirodyk mano akivaizdoje tuščiomis rankomis.

21 Šešias dienas dirbk, septintą dieną ilsėkis, net sėjos ir pjūties metu.

22 Švęsk Savaičių šventę, tai yra pirmųjų kviečių derliaus šventę, taip pat Derliaus nuėmimo šventę, metams baigiantis.

23 Tris kartus per metus visi tavo vyrai privalo pasirodyti Viešpaties, Izraelio Dievo, akivaizdoje.

24 Aš išvarysiu tautas prieš tave ir išplėsiu tavo krašto ribas; niekas nepuls tavo žemių, tau išėjus pasirodyti tris kartus per metus Viešpaties, tavo Dievo, akivaizdoje.

25 Neaukok mano aukos kraujo kartu su raugu; nieko nepalik iki ryto iš Paschos aukos.

26 Savo lauko pirmuosius vaisius atgabenk į Viešpaties Dievo namus. Nevirk ožiuko jo motinos piene”.

27 Viešpats tarė Mozei: “Užrašyk žodžius, kuriais padariau sandorą su tavimi ir Izraeliu”.

28 Jis buvo ant kalno su Viešpačiu keturiasdešimt dienų ir keturiasdešimt naktų, nevalgė duonos ir negėrė vandens. Ir Jis įrašė plokštėse sandoros žodžius, dešimt įsakymų.

29 Nužengdamas nuo Sinajaus kalno, Mozė nešėsi dvi liudijimo plokštes ir nežinojo, kad jo veidas po pašnekesio su Viešpačiu spindėjo.

30 Aaronas ir izraelitai, matydami spindintį Mozės veidą, bijojo prie jo priartėti.

31 Tik jam pašaukus, Aaronas ir visi vyresnieji susirinko pas jį. Mozė kalbėjo su jais.

32 Po to susirinko ir visi izraelitai. Jis jiems perdavė viską, ką Viešpats jam kalbėjo Sinajaus kalne.

33 Baigęs kalbėti, jis užsidėjo ant veido gaubtuvą.

34 Įėjęs pas Viešpatį ir su Juo kalbėdamas, Mozė gaubtuvą nusiimdavo. Išėjęs perduodavo izraelitams viską, kas jam buvo įsakyta.

35 Izraelio vaikai matė Mozės veidą, kad jis spindėjo, ir Mozė užsidėdavo gaubtuvą, iki eidavo kalbėti su Juo.

10632. 'And He said, Behold, I am making a covenant' means the chief things through which the joining of the Lord to the human race by means of the Word is brought about. This is clear from the meaning of 'a covenant' as a joining together, dealt with in 665, 666, 1023, 1038, 1864, 1996, 2003, 2021, 6804, 8767, 8778, at this point the joining of Jehovah, that is, of the Lord, to the human race by means of the Word; for this joining together is the subject in what immediately follows. The fact that this is the meaning is also clear from the train of thought in the internal sense. For the subject in what went before was the Law which was laid down and declared from Mount Sinai. That Law serves in a broad sense to mean the Word, 6752, 7463; but also it was the beginning of the Word, for the Word was declared afterwards, first by Moses, then by all the others. The subject in what came next was the Israelite nation, who were not by nature such that the Word could be written among them as it could have been in other circumstances. This was because no Church could be established among them, and where the Church is, so is the Word. See what has been stated and shown on these matters in Chapters 32, 33, and up to here in the present chapter.

[2] But because Moses insisted on the people's behalf that Jehovah should be in their midst and that they should be accepted as an inheritance, and should accordingly be led into the land of Canaan - all of which means in the internal sense that the Church was to be established among that people, and thus that the Word was to be written there - and because these demands were accepted on account of Moses' insistence, the subject now is the chief commandments which had to be kept fully in order that those demands might be met. These commandments required them to worship the Lord alone and no other, and to acknowledge that He was the Source of everything good and true, besides a number of other commandments that form the subject in what immediately follows.

[3] When it is said that these form the subject in what immediately follows it should be recognized that those commandments are contained in the internal sense, whereas the kinds of things that represent them, thus that serve to mean them, are what the external or literal sense contains, as will be clear from the explanation of the things stated next in this chapter of Exodus. But since this covenant which Jehovah made with Moses is said to mean the joining of the Lord to the human race by means of the Word, something must be stated here regarding the nature of such a joining together. In most ancient times members of the Church possessed no Word, only direct revelation; and through this revelation a joining together was accomplished. For when direct revelation exists heaven is joined to those in the world; and the joining of heaven to those in the world constitutes a joining of the Lord to them since that which is Divine and the Lord's among the angels constitutes heaven.

[4] When this direct revelation came to an end, which happened when people turned aside from the good which had governed them, another kind of revelation took its place. This was accomplished by means of representative signs, through which members of the Church at that time knew what was true and good; consequently this Church was called the representative Church. In that Church a Word also existed, but it served that Church alone. When however this Church too was laid waste, which happened when they began to venerate in idolatrous ways those representative signs through which the Church in those times was joined to heaven, and in many lands when they began to use them for magic, the Lord provided for a Word to be written that would be Divine in every single part, even each syllable. It would consist of pure correspondences and so would be suited to the perception of angels in all the heavens, and at the same time to people in the world. And this Word was provided to the end that through it the Lord might be joined to the human race; for unless He had been joined to them through such a Word heaven would have completely departed from mankind, who as a consequence would have ceased to exist.

[5] The subject in what follows therefore is that joining together by means of the Word; and the chief commandments which ought to be kept by a person in order that this joining by means of the Word may exist in him are opened up.

The most ancients possessed direct revelation, see 2895, 3432.

Regarding the representative Church which subsequently took its place, and its Word, 2686, 2897, 3432, 10355.

The Word is the means by which the Lord is joined to the human race, in the places referred to in 10375, 10452.

Exodus 34

Studie

   

1 Yahweh said to Moses, "Chisel two stone tablets like the first: and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.

2 Be ready by the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself there to me on the top of the mountain.

3 No one shall come up with you; neither let anyone be seen throughout all the mountain; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mountain."

4 He chiseled two tablets of stone like the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up to Mount Sinai, as Yahweh had commanded him, and took in his hand two stone tablets.

5 Yahweh descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of Yahweh.

6 Yahweh passed by before him, and proclaimed, "Yahweh! Yahweh, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth,

7 keeping loving kindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and disobedience and sin; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the children's children, on the third and on the fourth generation."

8 Moses hurried and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshiped.

9 He said, "If now I have found favor in your sight, Lord, please let the Lord go in the midst of us; although this is a stiff-necked people; pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance."

10 He said, "Behold, I make a covenant: before all your people I will do marvels, such as have not been worked in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among which you are shall see the work of Yahweh; for it is an awesome thing that I do with you.

11 Observe that which I command you this day. Behold, I drive out before you the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

12 Be careful, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be for a snare in the midst of you:

13 but you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and you shall cut down their Asherim;

14 for you shall worship no other god: for Yahweh, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

15 "Don't make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, lest they play the prostitute after their gods, and sacrifice to their gods, and one call you and you eat of his sacrifice;

16 and you take of their daughters to your sons, and their daughters play the prostitute after their gods, and make your sons play the prostitute after their gods.

17 "You shall make no cast idols for yourselves.

18 "You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib; for in the month Abib you came out from Egypt.

19 "All that opens the womb is mine; and all your livestock that is male, the firstborn of cow and sheep.

20 The firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb: and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. No one shall appear before me empty.

21 "Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest: in plowing time and in harvest you shall rest.

22 "You shall observe the feast of weeks with the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of harvest at the year's end.

23 Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord Yahweh, the God of Israel.

24 For I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your borders; neither shall any man desire your land when you go up to appear before Yahweh, your God, three times in the year.

25 "You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the Passover be left to the morning.

26 "You shall bring the first of the first fruits of your ground to the house of Yahweh your God. "You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk."

27 Yahweh said to Moses, "Write you these words: for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel."

28 He was there with Yahweh forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread, nor drank water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

29 It happened, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mountain, that Moses didn't know that the skin of his face shone by reason of his speaking with him.

30 When Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come near him.

31 Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him; and Moses spoke to them.

32 Afterward all the children of Israel came near, and he gave them all of the commandments that Yahweh had spoken with him on Mount Sinai.

33 When Moses was done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.

34 But when Moses went in before Yahweh to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out; and he came out, and spoke to the children of Israel that which he was commanded.

35 The children of Israel saw Moses' face, that the skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
