Izlazak 19

Studie

   

1 Prvog dana trećeg meseca, pošto izađoše sinovi Izrailjevi iz Misira, tog dana dođoše u pustinju Sinajsku.

2 Krenuvši se iz Rafidina dođoše u pustinju Sinajsku, i stadoše u logor u pustinji, a logor načiniše Izrailjci onde pod gorom.

3 I Mojsije izađe na goru k Bogu; i povika mu Gospod s gore govoreći: Ovako kaži domu Jakovljevom, i reci sinovima Izrailjevim:

4 Videli ste šta sam učinio Misircima i kako sam vas kao na krilima orlovim nosio i doveo vas k sebi.

5 A sada ako dobro uzaslušate glas moj i uščuvate zavet moj, bićete moje blago mimo sve narode, premda je moja sva zemlja.

6 I bićete mi carstvo svešteničko i narod svet. To su reči koje ćeš kazati sinovima Izrailjevim.

7 A Mojsije dođe i sazva starešine narodne; i kaza im sve ove reči koje mu Gospod zapovedi.

8 A sav narod odgovori složno i reče: Šta je god kazao Gospod činićemo. I Mojsije javi Gospodu reči narodne.

9 A Gospod reče Mojsiju: Evo, ja ću doći k tebi u gustom oblaku, da narod čuje kad ti stanem govoriti i da ti veruje do veka. Jer Mojsije beše javio Gospodu reči narodne.

10 I reče Gospod Mojsiju: Idi k narodu, i osveštaj ih danas i sutra, i neka operu haljine svoje;

11 I neka budu gotovi za treći dan, jer će u treći dan sići Gospod na goru Sinajsku pred svim narodom.

12 A postavićeš narodu među unaokolo, i reći ćeš: Čuvajte se da ne stupite na goru i da se ne dotaknete kraja njenog; šta se god dotakne gore, poginuće;

13 Toga da se niko ne dotakne rukom, nego kamenjem da se zaspe ili da se ustreli, bilo živinče ili čovek, da ne ostane u životu. Kad rog zatrubi otežući onda neka pođu na goru.

14 I Mojsije siđe s gore k narodu; i osvešta narod, i opraše haljine svoje.

15 I reče narodu: Budite gotovi za treći dan, i ne ležite sa ženama.

16 A treći dan kad bi ujutru, gromovi zagrmeše i munje zasevaše, i posta gust oblak na gori, i zatrubi truba veoma jako, da zadrhta sav narod koji beše u logoru.

17 Tada Mojsije izvede narod iz logora pred Boga, i stadoše ispod gore.

18 A gora se Sinajska sva dimljaše, jer siđe na nju Gospod u ognju; i dim se iz nje podizaše kao dim iz peći, i sva se gora trešaše veoma.

19 I truba sve jače trubljaše, i Mojsije govoraše a Bog mu odgovaraše glasom.

20 I Gospod sišavši na goru Sinajsku, na vrh gore, pozva Mojsija na vrh gore; i izađe Mojsije.

21 A Gospod reče Mojsiju: Siđi, opomeni narod da ne prestupe međe da vide Gospoda, da ne bi izginuli od mene.

22 I sami sveštenici, koji pristupaju ka Gospodu, neka se osveštaju, da ih ne bi pobio Gospod.

23 A Mojsije reče Gospodu: Neće moći narod izaći na goru Sinajsku, jer si nas Ti opomenuo rekavši: Načini među gori i osveštaj je.

24 A Gospod mu reče: Idi, siđi, pa onda dođi ti i Aron s tobom; a sveštenici i narod neka ne prestupe međe da se popnu ka Gospodu, da ih ne bi pobio.

25 I siđe Mojsije k narodu, i kaza im.

God meant it for goodness

  

In Genesis 50:20, this signifies to turn their temptations into good, for what God intends, He performs. (Arcana Coelestia 6572)

8825. Verses 20-25 And Jehovah came down onto Mount Sinai to the top of the mountain; and Jehovah called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up. And Jehovah said to Moses, Go down, warn the people so that they do not perhaps break through to Jehovah to see [Him], and many of them fall. And also the priests coming near Jehovah must sanctify themselves, so that Jehovah does not perhaps make a breach in them. And Moses said to Jehovah, The people cannot go up to Mount Sinai; for You have warned us, saying, Set bounds to the mountain and sanctify it. And Jehovah said to him, Go! go down; and you are to come up, you and Aaron with you. And do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to Jehovah, so that He does not perhaps make a breach in them. And Moses went down to the people and told them.

'And Jehovah came down onto Mount Sinai' means the Lord's presence in heaven. 'To the top of the mountain' means in the inmost. 'And Jehovah called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up' means the joining of the truth from God there. 'And Jehovah said to Moses' means admonition from the Divine. 'Go down, warn the people so that they do not perhaps break through to Jehovah to see [Him]' means that those belonging to the spiritual Church should not desire to go up to the heaven where the Divine celestial is. 'And many of them fall' means that in so doing they would perish. 'And also the priests coming near Jehovah must sanctify themselves' means that those governed by spiritual good, which has the Divine within it, are to be covered over. 'So that Jehovah does not perhaps make a breach in them' means a consequent separation from good. 'And Moses said to Jehovah' means thought engaged in by the truth from God. 'The people cannot go up to Mount Sinai' means that they are unable to raise themselves to the celestial kingdom. 'For You have warned us' means because the Divine has cautioned them. 'Saying, You are to set bounds to the mountain' means by declaring that the spiritual sphere of good comes to an end below [the celestial kingdom]. 'And sanctify it' means that they are thereby held back from the Divine. 'And Jehovah said to him' means further admonition. 'Go! go down' means influx. 'And come up, you and Aaron' means being joined to the truth from God, inward and outward. 'And do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to Jehovah' means that those governed by spiritual good and truth should not desire to go up into the celestial heaven. 'So that He does not perhaps make a breach in them' means separation from truth and good. 'And Moses went down to the people' means influx of the Divine through the truth from God. 'And told them' means admonition through it.
