Êxodo 31

Studie

   

1 Depois disse o Senhor a Moisés:

2 Eis que eu tenho chamado por nome a Bezaleel, filho de îri, filho de Hur, da tribo de Judá,

3 e o enchi do espírito de Deus, no tocante à sabedoria, ao entendimento, à ciência e a todo ofício,

4 para inventar obras artísticas, e trabalhar em ouro, em prata e em bronze,

5 e em lavramento de pedras para engastar, e em entalhadura de madeira, enfim para trabalhar em todo ofício.

6 E eis que eu tenho designado com ele a Aoliabe, filho de Aisamaque, da tribo de , e tenho dado sabedoria ao coração de todos os homens hábeis, para fazerem tudo o que te hei ordenado,

7 a saber: a tenda da revelação, a arca do testemunho, o propiciatório que estará sobre ela, e todos os móveis da tenda;

8 a mesa com os seus utensílios, o candelabro de ouro puro com todos os seus utensílios, o altar do incenso,

9 o altar do holocausto com todos os seus utensílios, e a pia com a sua base;

10 as vestes finamente tecidas, as vestes sagradas de Arão, o sacerdote, e as de seus filhos, para administrarem o sacerdócio;

11 o óleo da unção, e o incenso aromático para o lugar santo; eles farão conforme tudo o que te hei mandado.

12 Disse mais o Senhor a Moisés:

13 Falarás também aos filhos de Israel, dizendo: Certamente guardareis os meus sábados; porquanto isso é um sinal entre mim e vós pelas vossas gerações; para que saibais que eu sou o Senhor, que vos santifica.

14 Portanto guardareis o sábado, porque santo é para vós; aquele que o profanar certamente será morto; porque qualquer que nele fizer algum trabalho, aquela alma será exterminada do meio do seu povo.

15 Seis dias se trabalhará, mas o sétimo dia será o sábado de descanso solene, santo ao Senhor; qualquer que no dia do sábado fizer algum trabalho, certamente será morto.

16 Guardarão, pois, o sábado os filhos de Israel, celebrando-o nas suas gerações como pacto perpétuo. ,

17 Entre mim e os filhos de Israel será ele um sinal para sempre; porque em seis dias fez o Senhor o céu e a terra, e ao sétimo dia descansou, e achou refrigério.

18 E deu a Moisés, quando acabou de falar com ele no monte Sinai, as duas tábuas do testemunho, tábuas de pedra, escritas pelo dedo de Deus.

59. What we have said about the law’s promulgation, holiness and power in no. 55 above, may be found in the Word in the following passages:

That Jehovah descended onto Mount Sinai in fire, and that the mountain smoked and quaked then, and that there were thunderings, lightnings, a thick cloud, and the sound of a trumpet, see Exodus 19:16, 18, and Deuteronomy 4:11, 5:19-23.

That before Jehovah descended, the people readied themselves and sanctified themselves for three days, see Exodus 19:10-11, 15.

That bounds were set around the mountain to keep anyone from drawing near and approaching its base, on pain of death, and that not even the priests were to approach, but only Moses, see Exodus 19:12-13, 20-23, 24:1-2.

For the law promulgated from Mount Sinai, see Exodus 20:2-14, Deuteronomy 5:6-21.

That the law was written on two tablets of stone with the finger of God, see Exodus 31:18, 32:15-16, Deuteronomy 9:10.

That when Moses brought those tablets down from the mountain a second time, his face shone, see Exodus 34:29-35.

That the tablets were placed in the Ark, see Exodus 25:16, 40:20, Deuteronomy 10:5 and 1 Kings 8:9.

That on the Ark was set a mercy seat, and placed on this were cherubim of gold, see Exodus 25:17-21.

[2] That the Ark, together with the mercy seat and cherubim, constituted the inmost constituents of the Tabernacle, and that the golden lampstand, the golden altar of incense, and the table overlaid with gold which held the showbread constituted its outer constituents, and the ten curtains of linen, purple and scarlet its outmost constituents, see Exodus 25,26, 40:17-28.

That the place where the Ark was, was called the holy of holies or most holy place, see Exodus 26:33.

That the Israelite people all camped in order by tribes about the place where it resided, and set out in order after it, see Numbers 2.

That a cloud then stood over its abode by day, and fire by night, see Exodus 40:38, Numbers 9:15-16, 14:14, and Deuteronomy 1:33.

That the Lord spoke with Moses from above the Ark between the cherubim, see Exodus 25:22 and Numbers 7:89.

That because of the law it contained, the Ark was called the abode of Jehovah, for whenever the Ark set out Moses said, “Rise up, O Jehovah!” and when it rested, “Return, O Jehovah!” see Numbers 10:35-36, and also 2 Samuel 6:2, Psalms 132:7-8.

That because of the holiness of that law, Aaron was permitted to enter within the veil only with sacrifices and incense, see Leviticus 16:2-14ff.

That David brought the Ark into Zion with sacrifices and jubilation, see 2 Samuel 6:1-19. That Uzzah later died because he touched it, see verses 6 and 7 in that same chapter.

That the Ark was placed in the midst of the Temple in Jerusalem, where it constituted its inner sanctuary, see 1 Kings 6:19ff., 8:3-9.

[3] That because of the Lord’s presence and power in the law contained in the Ark, the Jordan’s waters were parted, and as long as the Ark rested in the midst of it, the people crossed over on dry ground, see Joshua 3:1-17, 4:5-20.

That the Ark’s being carried around caused the walls of Jericho to fall, see Joshua 6:1-20.

That Dagon, the Philistine god, fell down before the Ark, and after that lay at the threshold of the shrine with its head broken off, see 1 Samuel 5:1-4.

That because of the Ark many thousands of the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh were struck, see 1 Samuel 6:19.

2 David arose, and went with all the people who were with him, from Baale Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name, even the Name of Yahweh of Armies who sits [above] the cherubim.
