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.

284. The details just quoted about the proclamation of the law, its holiness and power, are to be found in the following passages of the Word. Jehovah came down on Mount Sinai in fire, and the mountain then smoked and shook, there was thunder and lightning, an oppressive cloud and the sound of a trumpet: Exodus 19:16-18; Deuteronomy 4:11; 5:22-26. The people prepared and sanctified themselves for three days before Jehovah came down: Exodus 19:10-11, 15. The mountain was hedged about to prevent anyone approaching its foot and coming near and being killed; not even the priests approached, only Moses: Exodus 19:12-13, 20-23; 24:1-2. The law was proclaimed from Mount Sinai: Exodus 20:2-17; Deuteronomy 5:6-21. The law was inscribed on two stone tablets, and written by the finger of God: Exodus 31:18; 32:15-16; Deuteronomy 9:10. When Moses carried the tablets down from the mountain the second time, his face shone so that he had to cover his face with a veil when talking with the people: Exodus 34:29-35. The tablets were laid up in the Ark: Exodus 25:16, 40:20; Deuteronomy 10:5; 1 Kings 8:9. The mercy-seat was mounted upon the Ark, and over it were placed cherubim made of gold: Exodus 25:17-21. The Ark together with the mercy-seat and the cherubim was put into the Tabernacle, constituting its first and thus most inward part; the table overlaid with gold, upon which was the bread of the Presence, the incense-altar of gold, and the lamp-stand and lamps of gold, made up the external part of the Tabernacle; the ten curtains of fine linen, purple and scarlet were its outermost part: Exodus 25:1-end; Exodus 26:1-end; Exodus 40:17-28. The place, where the Ark was, was called the Holy of Holies: Exodus 26:33. The whole people of Israel camped around the Tabernacle in the order of their tribes, and set out in order after it: Numbers 2:1-end. There was then a cloud over the Tabernacle by day and fire by night: Exodus 40:38; Numbers 9:15-end; Numbers 14:14; Deuteronomy 1:33. Jehovah spoke with Moses above the Ark, between the cherubim: Exodus 25:22; Numbers 7:89. The Ark was called from the law in it 'Jehovah-is-here'; for Moses said when the Ark set out 'Arise, Jehovah', and when it rested 'Return, Jehovah': Numbers 10:35-36; and further 2 Samuel 6:2 1 ; Psalms 132:7-8. On account of the holiness of the law Aaron was not allowed to go inside the veil, except with sacrifices and incense: Leviticus 16:2-14ff. By the presence of the Lord's power in the law contained in the Ark the waters of Jordan were parted, and the people crossed over on dry land, so long as it rested in the midst: ; 4:5-20. When the Ark was carried round them, the walls of Jericho fell down: Joshua 6:1-20. Dagon, the god of the Philistines, fell to the ground in the presence of the Ark, and afterwards was found lying on the threshold of the shrine with his head torn off and the palms of his hands cut off: 1 Samuel 5. The men of Bethshemesh were smitten because of the Ark to the number of many thousands: 1 Samuel 5, 6. Uzzah was killed by touching the Ark: 2 Samuel 6:7. The Ark was brought into Zion by David with sacrifices and jubilation: 2 Samuel 6:1-19. The Ark was brought by Solomon into the Temple at Jerusalem, where he made its inner shrine: 1 Kings 6:19ff; 1 Kings 8:3-9.
