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

  
Ancient of Days, by William Blake

When the Bible speaks of "Jehovah," it is representing love itself, the inmost love that is the essence of the Lord. That divine love is one, whole and complete in itself, and Jehovah also is one, a name applied only to the Lord. The divine love expresses itself in the form of wisdom. Love, then, is the essence of God -- His inmost. Wisdom -- the loving understanding of how to put love into action -- is slightly more external, giving love a way to express itself. Wisdom, however, is expressed in a great variety of thoughts and ideas, what the Writings collectively call divine truth. There are also many imaginary gods, and sometimes angels and people can be called gods (the Lord said Moses would be as a god to Aaron). So when the Bible calls the Lord "God," it is in most cases referring to divine truth. In other cases, "God" has reference to what is called the divine human. The case there is this: As human beings, we cannot engage the Lord directly as divine love. It is too powerful and too pure. Instead, we have to approach Him by understanding Him through divine truth. Divine truth, then, is the Lord in human form, a form we can approach and understand. Thus "God" is also used in reference to this human aspect, because it is an expression of truth.

2332. 'Wash your feet' means accommodation to his natural. This is clear from what has been stated in the previous chapter, in 2162, where the same words occur. In former times when people saw the angel of Jehovah they believed that they were about to die, Exodus 19:12, 21, 24; 20:19, Judges 6:22, 23, Judges 13:22, 23. The reason they did so is that Divine Holiness flowing into the unholiness present with man is so powerful that it seems like a devouring and consuming fire. Consequently when the Lord manifests Himself visibly to man, and even to angels, He in miraculous ways adjusts and moderates the Holy proceeding from Himself so that they can stand it. Or what amounts to the same, He adapts Himself to their natural. This then is the meaning in the internal sense of these words which Lot addressed to the angels, 'Wash your feet'. This shows the nature of the internal sense, for it cannot be seen from the sense of the letter that this is the meaning.
