1 και μωυση ειπεν αναβηθι προς κυριον συ και ααρων και ναδαβ και αβιουδ και εβδομηκοντα των πρεσβυτερων ισραηλ και προσκυνησουσιν μακροθεν τω κυριω

2 και εγγιει μωυσης μονος προς τον θεον αυτοι δε ουκ εγγιουσιν ο δε λαος ου συναναβησεται μετ' αυτων

3 εισηλθεν δε μωυσης και διηγησατο τω λαω παντα τα ρηματα του θεου και τα δικαιωματα απεκριθη δε πας ο λαος φωνη μια λεγοντες παντας τους λογους ους ελαλησεν κυριος ποιησομεν και ακουσομεθα

4 και εγραψεν μωυσης παντα τα ρηματα κυριου ορθρισας δε μωυσης το πρωι ωκοδομησεν θυσιαστηριον υπο το ορος και δωδεκα λιθους εις τας δωδεκα φυλας του ισραηλ

5 και εξαπεστειλεν τους νεανισκους των υιων ισραηλ και ανηνεγκαν ολοκαυτωματα και εθυσαν θυσιαν σωτηριου τω θεω μοσχαρια

6 λαβων δε μωυσης το ημισυ του αιματος ενεχεεν εις κρατηρας το δε ημισυ του αιματος προσεχεεν προς το θυσιαστηριον

7 και λαβων το βιβλιον της διαθηκης ανεγνω εις τα ωτα του λαου και ειπαν παντα οσα ελαλησεν κυριος ποιησομεν και ακουσομεθα

8 λαβων δε μωυσης το αιμα κατεσκεδασεν του λαου και ειπεν ιδου το αιμα της διαθηκης ης διεθετο κυριος προς υμας περι παντων των λογων τουτων

9 και ανεβη μωυσης και ααρων και ναδαβ και αβιουδ και εβδομηκοντα της γερουσιας ισραηλ

10 και ειδον τον τοπον ου ειστηκει εκει ο θεος του ισραηλ και τα υπο τους ποδας αυτου ωσει εργον πλινθου σαπφειρου και ωσπερ ειδος στερεωματος του ουρανου τη καθαριοτητι

11 και των επιλεκτων του ισραηλ ου διεφωνησεν ουδε εις και ωφθησαν εν τω τοπω του θεου και εφαγον και επιον

12 και ειπεν κυριος προς μωυσην αναβηθι προς με εις το ορος και ισθι εκει και δωσω σοι τα πυξια τα λιθινα τον νομον και τας εντολας ας εγραψα νομοθετησαι αυτοις

13 και αναστας μωυσης και ιησους ο παρεστηκως αυτω ανεβησαν εις το ορος του θεου

14 και τοις πρεσβυτεροις ειπαν ησυχαζετε αυτου εως αναστρεψωμεν προς υμας και ιδου ααρων και ωρ μεθ' υμων εαν τινι συμβη κρισις προσπορευεσθωσαν αυτοις

15 και ανεβη μωυσης και ιησους εις το ορος και εκαλυψεν η νεφελη το ορος

16 και κατεβη η δοξα του θεου επι το ορος το σινα και εκαλυψεν αυτο η νεφελη εξ ημερας και εκαλεσεν κυριος τον μωυσην τη ημερα τη εβδομη εκ μεσου της νεφελης

17 το δε ειδος της δοξης κυριου ωσει πυρ φλεγον επι της κορυφης του ορους εναντιον των υιων ισραηλ

18 και εισηλθεν μωυσης εις το μεσον της νεφελης και ανεβη εις το ορος και ην εκει εν τω ορει τεσσαρακοντα ημερας και τεσσαρακοντα νυκτας

1736. The fact that the Lord is Jehovah, who is here called 'God Most High', is quite clear from the Word: in Isaiah,

Jehovah Zebaoth is His name, and your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, the God of the whole earth He is called. Isaiah 54:5.

Here it is explicitly stated that 'the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel', who is the Lord alone, is 'Jehovah Zebaoth' and 'the God of the whole earth'. In the same prophet,

Thus said Jehovah your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, I am Jehovah your God. Isaiah 48:17.

In the same prophet,

I am helping you, said Jehovah your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 41:14.

The expressions 'the Holy One of Israel' and 'the God of Israel' occur many times. That the Lord is the Holy One of Israel and the God of Israel is quite clear from where it is said that they saw the God of Israel, under whose feet there was so to speak a paved work of sapphire stone, like the substance of the sky for purity, Exodus 24:10.

[2] None other was acknowledged and called Jehovah by the Jewish Church because that Church worshipped the one God Jehovah, and more importantly, because all the religious observances of that Church represented Him -- though the majority did not know this - and because all things in the internal sense of the Word had Him as their meaning. In Isaiah,

He will swallow up death for ever, and the Lord Jehovih will wipe away tears from all faces. And it will be said on that day, Behold, this is our God, we have waited for Him and He will save us. This is Jehovah, whom we have waited for; let us be glad and rejoice in His salvation. Isaiah 25:8-9.

This refers to the Coming of the Lord.

[3] In the same prophet,

Behold, the Lord Jehovih will come with might, and His arm will exercise dominion for Him. He will pasture His flock like a shepherd, He will gather into His arm, He will carry the tiny lambs in His bosom, 1 and will lead those that give suck. Isaiah 40:10-11.

This refers explicitly to the Lord who is 'the Lord Jehovih'. 'He will come with might, and His arm will exercise dominion for Him' stands for the fact that He would by His own power overcome the hells. 'Pasturing the flock', 'gathering into His arm', 'carrying the tiny lambs in His bosom', and 'leading those that give suck' have reference to His love, or mercy.

[4] In the same prophet,

Thus said Jehovah, God Himself who created the heavens, who formed the earth and made it, who Himself established it and created it not an emptiness, and formed it to dwell in: I am Jehovah, and there is none else. Am not I Jehovah and there is no God else besides Me? A just God, and a Saviour, there is none besides Me. Look to Me and be saved, all ends of the earth. For I am God and there is no other. Isaiah 45:18, 21-22.

Here it is explicitly stated that the Lord alone is Jehovah and God. 'To create the heavens and form the earth' is to regenerate, and so 'the Creator of heaven and earth' is the Regenerator, see 16, 88, 472, and elsewhere. This is why the Lord is in various places called Creator, One who forms, and Maker.

[5] In the same prophet,

You are our Father, for Abraham does not know us and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O Jehovah, are our rather, our Redeemer; from of old is Your name. Isaiah 63:15-16.

This refers explicitly to the Lord who alone is the Redeemer. In Moses,

Take notice of His face, 2 and hearken to His voice, lest you provoke Him, for He will not endure your transgression, for My name is in the midst of Him. Exodus 23:21.

'Name' is the essential nature, see 144, 145, while 'in the midst' is the inmost, 1074.

[6] In Isaiah,

To us a Boy is born, to us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. His name will be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, God, Hero, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6-7.

This plainly refers to the Lord. In Jeremiah,

Behold, the days are coming and I will raise up for David a righteous branch and He will reign as King, and act with understanding, and execute judgement and righteousness in the land. In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell with confidence. And this is His name which they will call Him, Jehovah our Righteousness. Jeremiah 23:5-6.

This plainly refers to the Lord. In Zechariah,

Jehovah will be King over all the earth; in that day there will be one Jehovah, and His name one. Zechariah 14:9.

This is plainly a reference to the Lord. 'Name' stands for Essential Nature.
