1 Сіи суть заповјди, постановленія и законы, которымъ повелјлъ Господь, Богъ вашъ, научить васъ, чтобы вы поступали такъ въ той землј, въ которую вы переходите, чтобы взять ее въ наслјдіе;

2 дабы ты боялся Господа, Бога твоего, и всј постановленія Его и заповјди Его, которыя заповјдаю тебј, соблюдалъ ты, и сынъ твой, и сынъ сына твоего во всј дни жизни твоей, дабы продолжились дни твои.

3 Итакъ слушай, Израиль, и старайся исполнить, чтобы тебј хорошо было, и чтобы вы весьма размножились; такъ какъ Господь, Богъ отцевъ твоихъ, говорилъ тебј, что Онъ даетъ тебј землю, гдј течетъ молоко и медъ.

4 Слушай, Израиль, Господь, Богъ нашъ, Господь единый.

5 И люби Господа, Бога твоего, всјмъ сердцемъ твоимъ и всею душею твоею и всјми силами твоими;

6 и да будутъ слова сіи, которыя я заповјдаю тебј сегодня, въ сердцј твоемъ,

7 и внушай ихъ дјтямъ, и говори объ нихъ, сидя въ домј твоемъ, и идучи дорогою, и лежа и стоя.

8 Навяжи ихъ въ знакъ на руку твою, и вмјсто повязки надъ глазами твоими,

9 и напиши ихъ на косякахъ дома твоего и на воротахъ твоихъ.

10 Когда же введетъ тебя Господь, Богъ твой, въ ту землю, которую Онъ клялся отцамъ твоимъ, Аврааму, Исааку и Іакову, дать тебј съ большими и хорошими городами, которыхъ ты не строилъ,

11 и съ домами, наполненными всякимъ добромъ, которыхъ ты не наполнялъ, и съ колодезями, высјченными изъ камня, которыхъ ты не высјкалъ, съ виноградниками и маслинами, которыхъ ты не садилъ, и будешь јсть и насыщаться:

12 тогда берегись, чтобы не забылъ ты Господа, Который вывелъ тебя изъ земли Египетской, изъ дома рабства.

13 Господа, Бога твоего, бойся, и Ему служи, и Его именемъ клянись.

14 Не послјдуйте другимъ богамъ, богамъ тјхъ народовъ, которые будутъ вокругъ васъ.

15 Ибо Господь, Богъ твой среди тебя, есть Богъ ревнитель, чтобы не воспламенился гнјвъ Господа, Бога твоего, на тебя, и не истребилъ Онъ тебя оть лица земли.

16 Не искушайте Господа, Бога вашего, какъ вы искушали Его въ Массј.

17 Твердо храните заповјди Господа, Бога вашего, и откровенія Его и постановленія Его, которыя Онъ заповјдалъ тебј.

18 И дјлай справедливое и доброе предъ очами Господа, дабы хорошо тебј было и дабы ты вошелъ и наслјдовалъ ту добрую землю, которую Господь съ клятвою објщалъ отцамъ твоимъ,

19 и чтобы Онъ прогналъ всјхъ враговъ твоихъ отъ лица твоего, какъ говорилъ Господь.

20 Если спроситъ у тебя сынъ твой въ послјдующее время, говоря: что значатъ сіи откровенія, постановленія и законы, которые заповјдалъ вамъ Господь, Богъ нашъ;

21 то скажи сыну твоему: рабами были мы у Фараона въ Египтј; и вывелъ насъ Господь изъ Египта рукою крјпкою.

22 И показалъ Господь знаменія и чудеса великія и казни надъ Египтомъ, надъ Фараономъ и надъ всјмъ домомъ его, предъ глазами нашими.

23 А насъ вывелъ оттуда, чтобы ввести насъ и дать намъ землю, которую клялся отцамъ нашимъ дать намъ.

24 И заповјдалъ намъ Господь исполнять всј постановленія сіи, чтобы мы боялись Господа, Бога нашего, дабы хорошо было намъ во всј дни, дабы сохранить нашу жизнь, какъ и теперь.

25 И праведность будетъ у насъ, когда мы будемъ стараться исполнять всј сіи заповјди предъ лицемъ Господа, Бога нашего, какъ повелјлъ Онъ намъ.

81. Chapter 2: The Lord the Redeemer

THE previous chapter was on God the Creator, and also included material on creation. This chapter is on the Lord the Redeemer, and also includes material on redemption. The following chapter is on the Holy Spirit, and will also include material on divine action.

By "the Lord, the Redeemer" we mean Jehovah in his human manifestation. In what follows, we will show that Jehovah himself came down and took on a human manifestation for the purpose of redeeming.

We speak of "the Lord" rather than "Jehovah" because Jehovah of the Old Testament is called "the Lord" in the New, as you can see from the following passages. In Moses it says, "Hear, O Israel, Jehovah your God, Jehovah is one. You are to love Jehovah God with all your heart and with all your soul" (Deuteronomy 6:4-5); but in Mark it says, "The Lord your God is one Lord. You are to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul" (Mark 12:29-30). Likewise in Isaiah it says, "Prepare a way for Jehovah; make a level pathway in the solitude for our God" (Isaiah 40:3); but in Luke it says, "I will go before the face of the Lord to prepare the way for him" (Luke 1:76). There are other instances elsewhere.

Furthermore, the Lord commanded his disciples to call him Lord [John 13:13]. Therefore this is what he was called by the apostles in their letters, and afterward what he was called in the apostolic church, as is clear from its creed, called the Apostles Creed.

One reason for this change of names was that the Jews did not dare to say the name Jehovah, because of its holiness. Another reason is that "Jehovah" means the underlying divine reality, which existed from eternity; but the human aspect that he took on in time was not that underlying reality. The nature of the underlying divine reality or Jehovah was shown in the previous chapter, 18-26-27-35.

Because of this, here and in what follows when we say "the Lord" we mean Jehovah in his human manifestation.

The concept of the Lord has an excellence that surpasses all other concepts that exist in the church or even in heaven. Therefore we need to adhere to an orderly sequence, as in the following, to make this concept clear:

1. Jehovah, the Creator of the universe, came down and took on a human manifestation in order to redeem people and save them.

2. He came down as the divine truth, which is the Word; but he did not separate the divine goodness from it.

3. In the process of taking on a human manifestation, he followed his own divine design.

4. The human manifestation in which he sent himself into the world is what is called "the Son of God. "

5. Through acts of redemption the Lord became justice.

6. Through these same acts he united himself to the Father and the Father united himself to him, again following the divine design.

7. Through this process God became human and a human became God in one person.

8. When he was being emptied out he was in a state of progress toward union; when he was being glorified he was in a state of union itself.

9. From now on, no Christians will go to heaven unless they believe in the Lord God the Savior and turn to him alone.

I need to address these statements one by one.
