Исход 20

Studie

   

1 Тогда изрекъ Богъ всј слова сіи, говоря:

2 Я Іегова, Богъ твой, Который вывелъ тебя изъ земли Египетской, изъ дома рабства.

3 Да не будетъ у тебя другихъ боговъ предъ лицемъ Моимъ.

4 Не дјлай себј кумира, и никакого изображенія того, что на небј вверху, что на землј внизу, и что въ водахъ ниже земли.

5 Не поклонайса имъ и не служи имъ; ибо Я Іегова Богъ твой, Богъ ревнитель, наказывающій за вину отцевъ дјтей до третьяго и до четвертаго рода, ненавидящихъ Меня,

6 и благотворящій до тысячи родовъ любящимъ Меня и соблюдающимъ заповјди Мои.

7 Не произноси имени Іеговы, Бога твоего, напрасно; ибо Іегова не оставитъ безъ наказанія того, кто произноситъ имя Его нанрасно.

8 Помни день субботный, чтобы святить его.

9 Шесть дней работай, и дјлай всякія дјла свои:

10 а день седьмый суббота Іеговы, Бога твоего: не дјлай никакого дјла ни ты, ни сынъ твой, ни дочь твоя, ни рабъ твой, ни раба твоя, ни скотъ твой, ни пришлецъ твой, который въ жилищахъ твоихъ.

11 Ибо въ шесть дней Іегова создалъ небо и землю, море и все, что въ нихъ: а въ день седьмый почилъ. Посему благословилъ Іегова день субботный и освятилъ его.

12 Почитай отца твоего и матерь твою, чтобы продлились дни твои на землј, которую Іегова, Богъ твой, даетъ тебј.

13 Не убивай.

14 Не прелюбодјйствуй.

15 Не крадь.

16 Не произноси ложнаго свидјтельства на ближняго твоего.

17 Не желай дома ближняго твоего, не желай жены ближняго твоего, ни раба его, ни рабы его, ни вола его, ни осла его, ничего, что у ближняго твоего.

18 Весь народъ видјлъ громы, и молніи, и гласъ трубный, и гору дымящуюся: и видя то, народъ отступилъ, и сталъ вдали.

19 И сказали Моисею: говори ты съ нами, и мы будемъ слушать: но чтобы не говорилъ съ нами Богъ, дабы намъ не умеретъ.

20 Моисей сказалъ народу: не бойтесь; ибо для того Богъ пришелъ, чтобы испытать васъ, и чтобы страхъ Его былъ на лицахъ вашихъ; дабы вы не грјшили.

21 И стоялъ народъ вдали; а Моисей вступилъ во мракъ, гдј Богъ.

22 И сказалъ Іегова Моисею: такъ скажи сынамъ Израилевымъ: вы видјли, какъ Я съ неба говорилъ вамъ.

23 Не дјлайте предо Мною боговъ серебряныхъ, или боговъ золотыхъ, не дјлайте себј.

24 Сдјлай Мнј жертвенникъ изъ земли, и принеси на немъ всесожженія твои, овецъ твоихъ, и воловъ твоихъ; на всякомъ мјстј, гдј Я положу память имени Моего, Я приду къ тебј, и благословлю тебя

25 Если же будешь дјлать Мнј жертвенникъ изъ камней, то не сооружай изъ тесаныхъ. Ибо какъ скоро возложешь на нихъ тесло твое: то осквернишь ихъ.

26 И не восходи по ступенямъ къ жертвеннику Моему, дабы не открылась при немъ нагота твоя.

8871. 'Which are in the heavens above, and which are on the earth beneath' means which exist in spiritual light' and which exist in natural light. This is clear from the meaning of 'a likeness of those things which are in the heavens above' as the things which are visible to the eye in spiritual light, all of which are connected with goodness and truth, and so are aspects of faith, charity towards the neighbour, and love to the Lord (feigning and simulating these virtues is meant by 'making a likeness of those things which are in the heavens above'); and from the meaning of 'a likeness of those things which are on the earth beneath' as the things which are visible to the eye in natural light, which are the kind that belong to goodness and truth on the level of people's public life and on that of their private life. Feigning and simulating these virtues is 'making a likeness of those things which are on the earth beneath'. The sense of the letter implies objects seen in the sky, such as the sun, moon, and stars, and objects seen on earth, such as various kinds of living creatures, both flying ones and those that walk or creep. But the internal sense implies the kinds of things that are meant spiritually by those objects, all of which are connected with goodness and truth, as stated above.

[2] Further description of these matters is contained in the following words in Moses,

... lest you make for yourselves a graven image in the form of any likeness, the figure of a male or a female, the figure of any beast which is on the earth, the figure of any winged bird which flies under heaven, the figure of any creeping thing on the earth, of a fish which is in the waters under the earth; and lest perhaps you lift your eyes to heaven and you look at the sun and moon and stars, all the host of heaven, and you are drawn away and bow down to them and serve them. Take care, lest you forget the covenant of Jehovah your God which He has made with you, and you make for yourselves a graven image of any figure. For Jehovah your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God. When you beget children and children's children, and grow old in the land, and corrupt yourselves and make a graven image of any figure, I call heaven and earth today as witnesses against you, that you will altogether perish quickly from upon the land. Jehovah will scatter you among the peoples, where you will serve gods, the work of man 's hands - wood and stone. Deuteronomy 4:16-19, 23-28.

[3] The chief reason why making a likeness of anything in the heavens or on the earth was so strictly forbidden was that this people descended from Jacob were most prone to worshipping external objects. The reason for that proneness was that they had no wish to know anything whatever about the internal aspects of the Church, which are those of faith and love to the Lord, and of charity towards the neighbour. If therefore they had been allowed to make likenesses of things they would have bowed down to them and worshipped them as gods. This is plainly evident from the golden calf which they made for themselves in the midst of so many miracles, and also from their frequent apostasy, when they forsook the worship of God for idolatrous worship. Nevertheless such actions by them are not meant in the internal sense but the things which have been explained above.
