Исход 34

Studie

   

1 Потомъ Іегова сказалъ Моисею: вытеши себј двј скрижали каменныя, подобныя прежнимъ; и напиши на сихъ скрижаляхъ слова, какія были на прежнихъ скрижаляхъ, которыя ты разбилъ.

2 Итакъ будь готовъ завтра; и взойди завтра на гору Синай и предстань Мнј тамъ на вершинј горы.

3 Но никто другой не долженъ восходить съ тобою; и даже никто не долженъ показываться на всей горј; даже скотъ, мелкій и крупный, не долженъ пастись близъ горы сей.

4 Моисей вытесалъ двј скрижали каменныя, подобныя прежнимъ, и, вставъ рано поутру, взошелъ на гору Синай, какъ повелјлъ ему Іегова; и взялъ въ руки свои двј скрижали каменныя.

5 И сошелъ Іегова въ облакј, и остановился тамъ близъ его, и провозгласилъ имя Іеговы.

6 И прошелъ Іегова предъ лицемъ его, и провозгласилъ: Іегова, Іегова! Богъ человјколюбивый и милосердый, медленный на гнјвъ, великій въ милости и истинј,

7 сохраняющій милостъ въ тысячи родовъ, прощающій беззаконіе и преступленіе и грјхъ, но не оставляющій безъ наказанія, наказывающій беззаконіе отцевъ въ сынахъ и въ сынахъ сыновъ, до третьяго и до четвертаго рода.

8 Моисей тотчасъ палъ на землю и поклонился,

9 и сказалъ: если я обрјлъ благоволеніе въ очахъ Твоихъ, Іегова, то да пойдетъ Іегова посреди насъ: ибо народъ сей жестоковыенъ; прости беззаконія наши и грјхи наши, и сдјлай насъ наслјдіемъ Твоимъ.

10 И былъ отвјтъ: се, Я заключаю завјтъ: предъ всјмъ народомъ твоимъ содјлаю чудеса, каковыхъ не было по всей землј, и ни у какихъ народовъ; и увидитъ весь народъ, среди коего ты находишься, дјло Іеговы; ибо страшно будетъ то, что Я сдјлаю для тебя.

11 Сохрани то, что повелјваю тебј нынј: вотъ Я изгоняю отъ лица твоего Аморреевъ, и Хананеевъ, и Хеттеевъ, и Ферезеевъ, и Хиввеевъ, и Іевусеевъ;

12 смотри, не вступай въ союзъ съ жителями той земли, въ которую ты войдешь; чтобъ они не сдјлались сјтію среди васъ.

13 Но жертвенники ихъ разрушьте, и столпы ихъ сокрушите, и священшля рощи ихъ вырубите.

14 Ибо не долженъ ты поклоняться богу иному, кромј Іеговы; имя Его ревнитель; Онъ Богъ ревнитель.

15 Не вступай въ союзъ съ жителями той земли, чтобы, когда они будутъ блудно ходить вслјдъ боговъ своихъ и будутъ приносить жертвы богамъ своимъ, не пригласили тебя, и ты не вкусилъ бы жертвы ихъ.

16 И не бери изъ дочерей ихъ женъ сынамъ своимъ; дабы дочери ихъ, блудно ходя во слјдъ боговъ своихъ, не ввели и сыновъ твоихъ въ блуженіе въ слјдъ боговъ своихъ.

17 Не дјлай себј боговъ литыхъ.

18 Праздникъ опрјсноковъ соблюдай, семь дней јшь прјсный хлјбъ, какъ Я повелјлъ тебј, въ назначенное время мјсяца Авива: поелику въ мјсяцј Авивј вышелъ ты изъ Египта.

19 Все разверзающее ложесна - Мнј: и изъ всего скота твоего, изъ воловъ и овецъ, первородное мужескаго пола.

20 Первородное изъ ословъ выкупи овцею, если же не выкупишь, то убей его. Всјхъ первенцевъ изъ сыновъ твоихъ выкупай. Пусть не являются предъ лице Мое съ пустыми руками.

21 Шесть дней работай, а въ седьмый день покойся; покойся и въ самое время посјва и жатвы.

22 И праздникъ седьмицъ совершай при началј жатвы пшеницы, и праздникъ собиранія плодовъ въ концј года.

23 Три раза въ году долженъ являться весь мужескій полъ предъ лице Господа Іеговы, Бога Израилева.

24 Ибо Я прогоню народы отъ лица твоего, и распространю предјлы твои, и никто не пожелаетъ земли твоей, когда будешь являться предъ лице Іеговы, Бога твоего, три раза въ году.

25 Не изливай крови жертвы Моей на квасное, и жертва праздника Пасхи не должна переночевать до утра.

26 Самые первые плоды земли твоей приноси въ домъ Іеговы, Бога твоего. Не вари козленка въ молокј матери его.

27 И сказалъ Іегова Моисею: напиши себј слова сіи, поелику въ сихъ словахъ Я заключаю завјтъ съ тобою и съ Израилемъ.

28 И пробылъ тамъ Моисей съ Іеговою сорокъ дней и сорокъ ночей, хлјба не јлъ и воды не пилъ; и написалъ на скрижаляхъ слова завјта, десять словъ.

29 Когда сходилъ Моисей съ горы Синая, и двј скрижали откровенія были въ рукј у Моисея, при сошествіи его съ горы: тогда Моисей не зналъ, что лице его издавало лучи отъ того, что Богъ говорилъ съ нимъ.

30 И воззрјли Ааронъ и всј сыны Израилевы на Моисея; и се, лучи издаетъ лице его; и боялись подойти къ нему.

31 И призвалъ ихъ Моисей, и пришли къ нему Ааронъ и всј начальники общества, и разговаривалъ Моисей съ ними.

32 Послј сего приближилисъ всј сыны Израилевы, и онъ заповјдалъ имъ все, что говорилъ ему Іегова на горј Синај.

33 По окончаніи же разговора съ ними, Моисей положилъ на лице свое покрывало.

34 Когда же приходилъ Моисей предъ лице Іеговы, чтобы говорить съ Нимъ, тогда снималъ покрывало, доколј не отходилъ отъ Него. Отходя же пересказывалъ сынамъ Израилевымъ все, что заповјдано было.

35 Поелику же сыны Израилевы видјли, что лице Моисея издаетъ лучи, то Моисей опять полагалъ покрывало на лице свое, пока не нужно было идти говорить съ Нимъ.

6306. 'Which I took out of the hand of the Amorite' means because of the victory over evil. This is clear from the representation of 'the Amorite' as evil, dealt with in 1857; and from the meaning of 'taking out of the hand' as acquiring through victory. As regards 'the Amorites', it should be recognized that they mean evil, just as 'the Canaanites' and all the other nations in the land that are mentioned in the Word mean various kinds of evil and also of falsity. Such things were represented by the nations when the children of Israel were taking possession of the land of Canaan. The reason for this was that whenever the children of Israel represented the things of heaven those nations represented the things of hell; thus the land of Canaan represented every state that exists in the next life. Also, because the nations represented the things of hell they were utterly destroyed; and entrance into any treaty with those who might remain was forbidden.

[2] The action of the children of Israel, of their taking possession of and dwelling in the land of those who represented the hells, was representative. It represented what happened around the time of the Lord's Coming, when spirits from hell had possession of a large part of heaven but He, by coming into the world and making the human within Himself Divine, cast them out of there and down into hell, and thereby delivered heaven from them, which He then gave as an inheritance to those who belonged to His spiritual kingdom.

[3] The representation of the Amorite nation as evil in general is evident from the places where it is referred to, as in Ezekiel, Thus said the Lord Jehovih to Jerusalem, 1 Your tradings and your births are of the land of the Canaanite. Your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite. Ezekiel 16:3, 45.

'Father' in the internal sense means the Church's good, or in the contrary sense evil, and 'mother' means the Church's truth, or in the contrary sense falsity; and this is why it is said, 'Your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite'.

[4] In Amos,

I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and whose strength was like the oaks. I led you in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite. Amos 2:9-10.

Here also 'the Amorite' stands for evil, for the evil of self-love is described by 'the height of the cedars' and 'the strength of an oak'. The reason why 'the Amorite' means evil in general is that the entire land of Canaan was called 'the land of the Amorite'; for it says, 'I led you in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite'. In addition the second Book of Kings says,

Manasseh king of Judah did what was evil, greater than all the evil which the Amorites did, who were before him. 2 Kings 21:11.

[5] 'With my sword' means through truth engaged in conflict. This is clear from the meaning of 'sword' as truth engaged in conflict, dealt with in 2799, 4499.

'And my bow' means received from doctrine. This is clear from the meaning of 'bow' as doctrine, dealt with in 2686, 2709.

[6] The words used here, 'the portion which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and my bow' were, it is quite evident, uttered by Israel on account of the internal sense; for Jacob did not take that portion from the Amorite with sword or bow. He bought it from the sons of Hamor, as is evident from Genesis 33, where these words occur, Jacob came to Salem, the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, as he was coming from Paddan Aram; and he encamped towards the face of the city. And he bought the portion of the field where he had stretched his tent, from the hand of the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for a hundred kesitahs. Genesis 33:18-19.

The fact that this field was the portion he gave to Joseph is clear in Joshua,

The bones of Joseph which the children of Israel caused to be brought up out of Egypt they buried in Shechem, in the part of the field which Jacob bought from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for a hundred kesitahs; and they had become an inheritance for the children of Joseph. Joshua 24:32.

From this it is evident that the portion had been bought, and that this is what was given to Joseph. Nor was the city of Shechem nearby meant, the city in which Simeon and Levi killed every male and which they took with the sword, Genesis 34. This is made clear by the fact that Jacob detested what they did and for that reason cursed Simeon and Levi, completely dissociating himself from the crime. He said,

Simeon and Levi are brothers; instruments of violence are their swords. Into their secret place let my soul not come; in their congregation let not my glory be united; for in their anger they killed a man, and in their pleasure they hamstrung an ox. Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce, and their wrath, for it was hard. 2 I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel. Genesis 49:5-7.

From all this it may now be seen that the words 'the portion which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and my bow' were uttered by him, when the spirit of prophecy rested on him, for the sake of the internal sense.

1. The Latin means O Jerusalem but the Hebrew means to Jerusalem, which Swedenborg has in other places where he quotes this verse (and possibly in his rough draft here).

2. i.e. cruel
