Исход 16

Studie

   

1 Отправившись изъ Египта, пришло все общество сыновъ Израилевыхъ въ пустыню Синъ, что между Елимомъ и между Синаемъ, въ пятнадцатый день втораго мјсяца по изшествіи ихъ изъ земли Египетской.

2 И возроптало все общество сыновъ Израилевыхъ на Моисея и Аарона въ пустынј.

3 И сказали имъ сыны Израилевы: о если бы мы умерли отъ руки Іеговы въ землј Египетской, когда мы сидјли у котловъ мясныхъ, когда мы јли хлјбъ досыта! А вы привели насъ въ эту пустыню, чтобы весь сонмъ сей уморить голодомъ.

4 Тогда Іегова сказалъ Моисею: вотъ, Я какъ дождь пошлю вамъ хлјбъ съ неба; и пусть народъ выходитъ и собираетъ ежедневно, сколько нужно на день, дабы Мнј испытать его, будетъ ли онъ поступать по закону Моему, или нјтъ.

5 А въ шестой день пусть заготовляютъ, что принесутъ, и будетъ вдвое противъ того, по скольку собираютъ въ прочіе дни.

6 И сказали Моисей и Ааронъ всјмъ сынамъ Израилевымъ: вечеромъ узнаете, что Іегова вывелъ васъ изъ земли Египетской.

7 И утромъ увидите славу Іеговы, ибо слышалъ Онъ ропотъ вашъ на Іегову, а мы что значимъ, что вы на насъ ропщете?

8 И сказалъ Моисей: узнаете, когда Іегова вечеромъ дастъ вамъ мяса въ пищу, а утромъ хлјба досыта; ибо Іегова услышалъ ропотъ вашъ, который вы подняли противъ Него: а мы что? Не на насъ ропотъ вашъ, но на Іегову.

9 Аарону же сказалъ Моисей: скажи всему обществу сыновъ Израилевыхъ: предстаньте предъ лице Іеговы, ибо Онъ услышалъ ропотъ вашъ

10 И когда говорилъ Ааронъ ко всему обществу сыновъ Израилевыхъ, и они оглянулись къ пустынј, се, слава Іеговы явилась въ облакј.

11 И говорилъ Іегова Моисею и сказалъ:

12 Я услышалъ ропотъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ; скажи имъ: вечеромъ будете јсть мясо, а поутру насытитесь хлјбомъ, и узнаете, что Я Іегова Богъ вашъ.

13 Въ самомъ дјлј, вечеромъ налетјли перепелы, и покрыли станъ, а поутру начала ложиться роса около стана.

14 Когда же перестала ложиться роса: се, на поверхности пустыни оказалось нјчто мелкое, снјговидное, мелкое, какъ гололедица, на землј.

15 Увидя сіе, сыны Израилевы, говорили другъ другу: что это? Ибо не знали, что такое; Моисей же сказалъ имъ: это хлјбъ, который Іегова далъ вамъ въ пищу.

16 Вотъ повелјніе, которое далъ Іегова: собирайте онаго каждый постольку, сколько ему съјсть, по гомору на человјка; по числу душъ, сколько у кого въ шатрј, собирайте.

17 Такъ и сдјлали сыны Израилевы: и собирали, кто много, кто мало.

18 И мјряли гоморомъ, и у того, кто собралъ много, не было лишняго, и у того, кто мало, не было недостатка. Каждый собралъ, сколъко ему съјсть.

19 И сказалъ имъ Моисей: никто не оставляй сего до утра.

20 Но Моисея не послушались, и оставили онаго нјкоторые до утра; и родились черви, и оно возсмердјло; и разгнјвался на нихъ Моисей.

21 И собирали оное по утрамъ каждый сколько ему съјсть; когда же обогрјвало солнце, оно растаявало.

22 Въ шестый же день собрали хлјба вдвое, по два гомора на каждаго; и пришли всј начальники общества и донесли Моисею.

23 Моисей сказалъ имъ: вотъ, что сказалъ Іегова: завтра покой, суббота, посвященная Іеговј; что надобно варитъ, варите, и что надобно печь, пеките, а все излишнее отложите и сберегите до утра.

24 И какъ повелјлъ Моисей, отложили его до утра; и онъ не возсмердјлъ, и червей не было въ немъ.

25 И сказалъ Моисей: јшьте его сегодня, ибо сегодня суббота Іеговј; сегодня не найдете его на полј.

26 Шесть дней собирайте его; а въ седьный день суббота; не будетъ въ нее.

27 И случилось, что въ седьмый день нјкоторые изъ народа вышли собирать, но не нашли.

28 Тогда Іегова сказалъ Моисею: долго ли вамъ не слушаться и не соблюдать заповјдей Моихъ и законовъ Моихъ?

29 Смотрите, Іегова далъ вамъ субботу, посему Онъ и дастъ въ шестый день хлјба на два дня: оставайтесь каждый у себя, и никто не ходи съ мјста своего въ седьмый день.

30 И покоился народъ въ седьмый день.

31 И нарекли Израильтяне хлјбу тому имя: манна; она была какъ кишнецовое сјмя бјла, а вкусомъ какъ лепешка съ медомъ.

32 И сказалъ Моисей: вотъ повелјніе, которое далъ Іегова: наполните гоморъ и храните въ роды ваши, дабы видјли сей хлјбъ, которымъ Я питалъ васъ въ пустынј, когда вывелъ васъ изъ земли Египетской.

33 И сказалъ Моисей Аарону: возьми одинъ сосудъ, и положи въ него полный гоморъ манны, и поставь его предъ Іеговою, для сохраненія въ роды ваши.

34 И поставилъ его Ааронъ предъ ковчегомъ откровенія для сохраненія, какъ поввлјлъ Іегова Моисею.

35 Сыны Израилевы јли манну сорокъ лјтъ, доколј не пришли въ землю обитаемую; манну јли они, доколј не пришли къ предјламъ земли Ханаанской.

36 А гоморъ есть десятая часть ефы.

Morning

  
Two gorgeous red poppies -- one popped, and one just about to.

Morning comes with the rising of the sun, and the sun -- which gives life to the earth with its warmth and light -- represents the Lord in His divinity, bringing spiritual life through love and wisdom. Thus, the morning represents the coming of the Lord into our lives, and all the things that flow from it: the love, joy and enlightenment He brings; the peace and tranquility of passing the spiritual obscurity of night; the anticipation of the learning and usefulness of a new day; and the awareness of The Lord's renewed presence.

8812. 'When it came to be morning' means a state when they were governed by good. This is clear from the meaning of 'morning' as a state of the good of love, dealt with in 8426. From these details - that Jehovah, that is, the Lord, came down onto Mount Sinai on the third day, and also in the morning of that day - it is plainly evident that this event was representative of some Divine reality in heaven which no one can come to know about except from the correspondence of such things as arise in the natural world with realities in the spiritual world, and therefore from the spiritual meaning of those things. This is so here so far as the meaning of 'morning' and 'the third day' are concerned. 'The third day' means the end of a former state, and it does so because 'three' means what is complete from start to finish, 8790; and 'morning' means a state of the good of love, because the sun - the sun in the next life which gives light to angels and the whole of heaven - is the Lord. The fire there is His Divine Love, which gives vital heat to all that lives, and the light there is Divine Truth which enlightens all who receive it. The sun there is altogether different from the sun in the world, whose fire is fire and not love, and whose radiating light is light and not truth.

[2] All this goes to show what kind of effects the fire and also the light coming from the sun in the world produce, and what kind of effects the fire and light coming from the sun of heaven produce. The sun in the world provides heat and light without life, whereas the sun in heaven provides heat and light together with life. The latter, being provided by the sun of heaven, are therefore called spiritual, because they hold life within them, whereas the former, which are provided by the sun of the world, are called natural and do not hold life within them. The life in living things that is recognized in their heat and indicated by it does not come from the heat of the sun in the world but from the heat of the sun in heaven. When the latter heat enters heat in the world it produces that effect; the body feels it as elemental heat, but this has vital heat in it, which has its origin in the love that is heat from the sun of heaven. The truth that vital heat springs from a source other than the sun in the world, and that it owes its origin to love and exists according to the amount and the character of that love within it, anyone is able to know provided that he is prepared to think about it properly. Anyone can know except those who do not acknowledge anything internal in the human being and attribute everything to natural forces.

[3] Since therefore heat from the sun in heaven, which is the Lord, is the good of love, and the light from it is the truth of faith, one may see what is meant by 'morning', and what by 'midday', 'evening', and 'night' in the next life. They are states of good and truth or love and faith, 'morning' being a state of the good of love, 'midday' a state of the truth of faith, 'evening and night' a deprivation of them, which is ignorance and blindness in insights that belong to faith, and also slowness and coldness in feelings that belong to heavenly love.

[4] Furthermore the situation with the sun of heaven is as it is with the sun in the world, in that it is motionless and does not bring about those states by any wheeling round of its own. Rather the things around it bring them about, just as a planet travelling round the sun and at the same time rotating on its axis produces changes. The appearance therefore is that those changes are attributable to the sun, but in reality they are not attributable to the sun, only to the planet going round it. So also in heaven. Changes of state there, to which morning, midday, evening, and night correspond, are not attributable to the sun there, for that sun is always radiating heat and light, that is, the good of love and the truth of faith. Instead those changes are attributable to the recipients, that is to say, to the angels and spirits, who move through a regular cycle of such changes as their life progresses. At one point it is morning, that is, they are filled with the good of love; at another it is midday, that is, they are enlightened with the truth of faith; and at yet another it is evening and night, that is, these gifts become vague and dull with them.

[5] The reason why the situation in the world is as it is in heaven, except for the difference that in the world the regular cycle consists of states belonging to the times of day, while in heaven it consists of states of life, is that all things in the world have been created in the image of those in heaven. For natural things arise from spiritual ones as effects from their causes. Consequently there is a correspondence of all things in the world with those in heaven, and therefore the whole natural order is nothing other than a theatre representative of the Lord's kingdom, 3483, 4939, 8211.
