Исход 23

Studie

   

1 Не принимай пустаго слуха, не давай руки твоей беззаконнику, чтобы быть свидјтелемъ въ пользу преступленія.

2 Не слјдуй множеству, чтобы дјлать зло, и не суди тяжбы, увлекаясь вслјдъ за многими, чтобы рјшить превратно.

3 И нищему не благопріятствуй въ тяжбј его.

4 Если найдешь вола непріятеля твоего, или осла его, заблудившагося: приведи его къ нему.

5 Если увидишь, что оселъ врага твоего упалъ подъ ношею своею: то не оставляй его одного развьючивать; развьючь вмјстј съ нимъ.

6 Не суди превратно тяжбы нищаго твоего.

7 Удаляйся отъ всякой лжи, и не умерщвляй невиннаго и праваго; ибо я не извиню беззаконника.

8 Даровъ не принимай; ибо дары слјпыми дјлаютъ зрячихъ, и превращаютъ дјло правыхъ.

9 Пришельца не обижай: вы знаете, что на душј у пришельца; потому что сами были пришельцами въ землј Египетской.

10 Шесть лјтъ засјвай землю твою, и собирай произведенія ея.

11 А въ седьмой оставляй ее, давай ей свободу, чтобы питались убогіе изъ твоего народа, а остатками послј нихъ питались звјри полевые. Такъ же поступай съ виноградникомъ твоимъ, и съ маслиною твоею.

12 Шесть дней дјлай дјла свои, а въ седьмой день покойся, чтобы отдохнулъ волъ твой и оселъ твой, и успокоился сынъ рабы твоей и пришлецъ.

13 Соблюдайте все, что Я сказалъ вамъ; и имени другихъ боговъ не упоминайте, чтобъ не слышать его изъ устъ твоихъ.

14 Три раза въ году празднуй Мнј.

15 Наблюдай праздникъ опрјсноковъ; семь дней јшь прјсный хлјбъ, какъ Я повелјлъ тебј, въ извјстное время мјсяца Авива; ибо въ ономъ ты вышелъ изъ Египта, и пусть не являются предъ лице Мое съ пустыми руками.

16 Наблюдай также праздникъ жатвы, первыхъ плодовъ труда твоего, какіе ты сјялъ на полј; и праздникъ собиранія плодовъ въ концј года, когда уберешь съ поля работу твою.

17 Три раза въ году долженъ являться весь мужескій полъ твой предъ лице Господа Іеговы.

18 Не изливай крови жертвы Моей на квасное, и тукъ отъ праздника Моего не долженъ переночевать до утра.

19 Первые плоды земли твоей приноси въ домъ Іеговы, Бога твоего. Не вари козленка въ молокј матери его.

20 Вотъ, Я посылаю предъ тобою Ангела хранить тебя на пути, и ввести тебя въ то мјсто, которое Я приготовилъ.

21 Будь остороженъ въ присутствіи его, и слушай гласа его; не упорствуй противъ него; потому, что онъ не потерпитъ вашей непокорности; ибо имя Мое въ немъ.

22 Если ты будешь слушать гласа его, и исполнять все, что ни скажу; то врагомъ буду враговъ твоихъ, и противникомъ противниковъ твоихъ.

23 Ибо Ангелъ Мой пойдетъ предъ тобою, и поведетъ тебя къ Аморреямъ, и Хеттеямъ, и Ферезеямъ, и Хиввеямъ, и Іевусеямъ, и истреблю ихъ.

24 Не поклоняйся богамъ ихъ, и не служи имъ; не подражай дјламъ ихъ, но до конца истреби ихъ, и сокруши столпы ихъ.

25 Служите Іеговј Богу вашему; и Онъ благословитъ хлјбъ твой и воды твои, и отвращу отъ васъ болјзни.

26 Не будетъ преждевременно рождающихъ и безплодныхъ въ землј твоей: число дней твоихъ сдјлаю полное.

27 Ужасъ Мой пошлю предъ тобою, и устрашу всякой народъ, къ которому ты ни придешь, и буду обращать тебј тылъ всјхъ враговъ твоихъ.

28 Пошлю предъ тобою шершней, и они погонятъ отъ лица твоего Хиввеевъ, Хананеевъ и Хеттеевъ.

29 Не выгоню ихъ отъ лица твоего въ одинъ годъ, чтобы земля не сдјлалась пуста, и не усилились противъ тебя звјри полевые.

30 Мало-по-малу буду прогонять ихъ отъ тебя, пока ты размножишься, и наслјдуешь сію землю.

31 Проведу предјлы твои отъ моря Чермнаго до моря Филистимскаго, и отъ пустыни до великой рјки: ибо предамъ въ руки ваши жителей сей земли, и прогонишь ихъ отъ лица твоего.

32 Не заключай союза ни съ ними, ни съ ихъ богами.

33 Не должны они жить въ землј твоей, чтобы они не ввели тебя въ грјхъ противъ Меня; ибо если ты будешь служить богамъ ихъ: то сие будетъ тебј сјтію.

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.

Genesis 9

Studie

   

1 God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

2 The fear of you and the dread of you will be on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the sky. Everything that the ground teems with, and all the fish of the sea are delivered into your hand.

3 Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As the green herb, I have given everything to you.

4 But flesh with its life, its blood, you shall not eat.

5 I will surely require your blood of your lives. At the hand of every animal I will require it. At the hand of man, even at the hand of every man's brother, I will require the life of man.

6 Whoever sheds man's blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image.

7 Be fruitful and multiply. Bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it."

8 God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,

9 "As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,

10 and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship, even every animal of the earth.

11 I will establish my covenant with you: all flesh will not be cut off any more by the waters of the flood, neither will there ever again be a flood to destroy the earth."

12 God said, "This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

13 I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be for a sign of a covenant between me and the earth.

14 It will happen, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,

15 and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16 The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth."

17 God said to Noah, "This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth."

18 The sons of Noah who went forth from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.

19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these, the whole earth was populated.

20 Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard.

21 He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.

22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.

23 Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were backwards, and they didn't see their father's nakedness.

24 Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.

25 He said, "Canaan is cursed. He will be servant of servants to his brothers."

26 He said, "Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.

27 May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant."

28 Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.

29 All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, then he died.
