Ponovljeni Zakon 16

1 Drži mesec Aviv, te slavi pashu Gospodu Bogu svom, jer meseca Aviva izveo te je Gospod Bog tvoj iz Misira noću.

2 I zakolji pashu Gospodu Bogu svom, od krupne i sitne stoke, na mestu koje izabere Gospod da onde nastani ime svoje.

3 Ne jedi s njom hleb kiseli; sedam dana jedi s njom presan hleb, hleb nevoljnički, jer si hiteći izašao iz zemlje misirske, pa da se opominješ dana kad si izašao iz Misira, dok si god živ.

4 I da se ne vidi u tebe kvasac za sedam dana nigde među granicama tvojim, i da ne ostane preko noćništa do jutra od mesa koje zakolješ prvi dan uveče.

5 Ne možeš klati pashe na svakom mestu svom koje ti da Gospod Bog tvoj;

6 Nego na mestu koje izabere Gospod Bog tvoj da onde nastani ime svoje, onde kolji pashu uveče o sunčanom zahodu u isto vreme kad si pošao iz Misira.

7 A peci je i jedi na mestu koje izabere Gospod Bog tvoj; i sutradan vrativši se idi u svoje šatore.

8 Šest dana jedi presne hlebove, a sedmi dan da je praznik Gospodnji, tada ne radi ništa.

9 Sedam nedelja nabroj; kad stane srp raditi po letini, onda počni brojati Sedam nedelja.

10 Tada praznuj praznik nedelja Gospodu Bogu svom; šta možeš prinositi dragovoljno kako te bude blagoslovio Gospod Bog tvoj.

11 I veseli se pred Gospodom Bogom svojim ti i sin tvoj i kći tvoja i sluga tvoj i sluškinja tvoja, i Levit koji bude u mestu tvom, i došljak i sirota i udovica, što budu kod tebe, na mestu koje izabere Gospod Bog tvoj da onde nastani ime svoje.

12 I opominji se da si bio rob u Misiru, te čuvaj i tvori uredbe ove.

13 Praznik senica praznuj sedam dana, kad zbereš s gumna svog i iz kace svoje.

14 I veseli se na praznik svoj ti i sin tvoj i sluga tvoj i sluškinja tvoja, i Levit i došljak i sirota i udovica, što budu u mestu tvom.

15 Sedam dana praznuj praznik Gospodu Bogu svom na mestu koje izabere Gospod, kad te blagoslovi Gospod Bog tvoj u svakoj letini tvojoj i u svakom poslu ruku tvojih; i budi veseo.

16 Tri puta u godini neka dođe svako muško pred Gospoda Boga tvog na mesto koje izabere: na praznik presnih hlebova, na praznik nedelja i na praznik senica, ali niko da ne dođe prazan pred Gospoda;

17 Nego svaki s darom od onog što ima, prema blagoslovu Gospoda Boga tvog kojim te je darivao.

18 Sudije i upravitelje postavi sebi po svim mestima koja ti da Gospod Bog tvoj po plemenima tvojim, i neka sude narodu pravo.

19 Ne izvrći pravde i ne gledaj ko je ko; ne primaj poklona. jer poklon zaslepljuje oči mudrima i izvrće reči pravednima.

20 Sasvim idi za pravdom, da bi bio živ i nasledio zemlju koju ti daje Gospod Bog tvoj.

21 Ne sadi luga ni od kakvih drveta kod oltara Gospoda Boga svog, koji načiniš;

22 I ne podiži nikakav lik; na to mrzi Gospod Bog tvoj.

81. "'And have labored for My name's sake and have not become weary.'" This symbolizes their effort and work in acquiring for themselves and also teaching the constituents of religion and its accompanying doctrine.

The name of Jehovah or the Lord in the Word does not mean His name, but everything by which He is worshiped. And because He is worshiped in accordance with doctrine in the church, His name means everything pertaining to doctrine, and in the broadest sense, everything pertaining to religion.

These are the meanings of the name of Jehovah, and the reason is that in heaven the only names found are ones that reflect a person's character, and God's character includes everything by which He is worshiped.

One who is not aware of this symbolic meaning of a name in the Word can understand it only as a name; and in this alone there is nothing pertaining to worship and religion.

[2] Someone who keeps in mind, therefore, this symbolic meaning of "the name of Jehovah" when it is mentioned in the Word, will of himself understand its symbolic meaning in the following passages:

In that day you will say: "Confess to Jehovah, call upon His name." (Isaiah 12:4)

...O Jehovah, we have waited for You; the desire of our soul is for Your name... ...by You we make mention of Your name. (Isaiah 26:8, 13)

From the rising of the sun My name shall be called on. (Isaiah 41:25)

...from the rising of the sun, even to its going down, My name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered to My name...; for My name shall be great among the nations... ...you profane (My name) when you say, "The table of Jehovah is defiled...." But you sneer at (My name)..., when you bring the stolen, the lame, and the sick. (Malachi 1:11-13)

...all peoples walk in the name of their god, but we will walk in the name of Jehovah our God... (Micah 4:5)

Everyone who is called by My name, for My glory I have created him, I have formed him... (Isaiah 43:7)

You shall not take the name of Jehovah your God in vain; ...Jehovah will not hold him innocent who takes His name in vain. (Deuteronomy 5:11)

They were to worship Jehovah in one place, where He should put His name (Deuteronomy 12:5, 11, 13-14, 18; 16:2, 6, 11, 15-16). And so on in many other places. Who does not see that the name in them does not mean simply a name?

[3] It is the same with the name of the Lord in the New Testament, as in the following places:

(Jesus said,) "You will be hated by all because of My name. (Matthew 10:22; cf. 24:9-10)

...where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them. (Matthew 18:20)

Everyone who has left houses, brothers, sisters... for My name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and... eternal life. (Matthew 19:29)

As many as received Him, to them He gave the power to become children of God, to those who believe in His name. (John 1:12)

...many believed in His name... (John 2:23)

He who does not believe is judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:17-18)

...believing (they will) have life in His name. (John 20:31)

Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! (Matthew 21:9; 23:39; Luke 13:35, cf. 19:38)

[4] In respect to His humanity the Lord is the name of the Father, as witness the following:

Father, glorify Your name. (John 12:28)

Hallowed be Your name (and) Your kingdom come. (Matthew 6:9-10)

See also Exodus 23:20-21. 3

"Name" in the case of other people refers to a quality of worship, as in the following:

(A shepherd) calls his own sheep by (their) name... (John 10:3)

You have a few names in Sardis... (Revelation 3:4)

I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem..., and My new name. (Revelation 3:12)

And the like elsewhere.

It can be seen from this now that the statement, "You have labored for My name's sake and have not become weary," symbolizes their effort and work in acquiring for themselves and also teaching the constituents of religion and its accompanying doctrine.
