Izlazak 20

Studie

   

1 Tada reče Bog sve ove reči govoreći:

2 Ja sam Gospod Bog tvoj, koji sam te izveo iz zemlje misirske, iz doma ropskog.

3 Nemoj imati drugih bogova uza me.

4 Ne gradi sebi lik rezani niti kakvu sliku od onog što je gore na nebu, ili dole na zemlji, ili u vodi, ispod zemlje.

5 Nemoj im se klanjati niti im služiti, jer sam ja Gospod Bog tvoj, Bog revnitelj, koji pohodim grehe otačke na sinovima do trećeg i do četvrtog koljena, onih koji mrze na mene;

6 A činim milost na hiljadama onih koji me ljube i čuvaju zapovesti moje.

7 Ne uzimaj uzalud ime Gospoda Boga svog; jer neće pred Gospodom biti prav ko uzme ime Njegovo uzalud.

8 Sećaj se dana od odmora da ga svetkuješ.

9 Šest dana radi, i svršuj sve poslove svoje.

10 A sedmi je dan odmor Gospodu Bogu tvom; tada nemoj raditi nijedan posao, ni ti, ni sin tvoj, ni kći tvoja, ni sluga tvoj, ni sluškinja tvoja, ni živinče tvoje, ni stranac koji je među vratima tvojim.

11 Jer je za šest dana stvorio Gospod nebo i zemlju, more i šta je god u njima; a u sedmi dan počinu; zato je blagoslovio Gospod dan od odmora i posvetio ga.

12 Poštuj oca svog i mater svoju, da ti se produže dani na zemlji, koju ti da Gospod Bog tvoj.

13 Ne ubij.

14 Ne čini preljube.

15 Ne kradi.

16 Ne svedoči lažno na bližnjeg svog.

17 Ne poželi kuću bližnjeg svog, ne poželi ženu bližnjeg svog, ni slugu njegovog, ni sluškinju njegovu, ni vola njegovog, ni magarca njegovog, niti išta što je bližnjeg tvog.

18 I sav narod vide grom i munju i trubu gde trubi i goru gde se dimi; i narod videvši to uzmače se i stade izdaleka,

19 I rekoše Mojsiju: Govori nam ti, i slušaćemo; a neka nam ne Govori Bog, da ne pomremo.

20 A Mojsije reče narodu: Ne bojte se, jer Bog dođe da vas iskuša i da vam pred očima bude strah Njegov da ne biste grešili.

21 I narod stajaše izdaleka, a Mojsije pristupi k mraku u kome beše Bog.

22 I Gospod reče Mojsiju: Ovako kaži sinovima Izrailjevim: videli ste gde vam s neba govorih.

23 Ne gradite uza me bogove srebrne, ni bogove zlatne ne gradite sebi.

24 Oltar od zemlje načini mi, na kome ćeš mi prinositi žrtve svoje paljenice i žrtve svoje zahvalne, sitnu i krupnu stoku svoju. Na kome god mestu zapovedim da se spominje ime moje, doći ću k tebi i blagosloviću te.

25 Ako li mi načiniš oltar od kamena, nemoj načiniti od tesanog kamena; jer ako povučeš po njemu gvožđem, oskvrnićeš ga.

26 Nemoj uz basamake ići k oltaru mom, da se ne bi otkrila golotinja tvoja kod njega.

8760. 'And Moses went up to God' means the truth from God which was below heaven joining itself to Divine Truth in heaven. This is clear from the representation of 'Moses' as the truth from God, dealt with in 6771, 6827, 7014, at this point the truth from God which was below heaven, since he now represents the children of Israel as their head, and so represents those belonging to the spiritual Church not yet in heaven because they are not as yet governed by good formed from truths, 8753, 8754; and from the meaning of 'going up' as joining oneself to, for someone who goes up to the Divine joins himself to Him, even as the words 'going up into heaven' mean man's being joined to the Lord, and the words 'coming down from heaven' mean His being joined to man. Divine Truth in heaven, to which the other was joined, is what 'God' is used to mean; for in the Word the Lord is called 'God' by virtue of Divine Truth, and Jehovah' by virtue of Divine Good, 2586, 2769, 2807, 2822, 3921 (end), 4402, 7010, 7268, 7873, 8301. And since the joining of Divine Truth to Divine Good is the subject here, this verse first says 'God', then 'Jehovah' just after, in these words, And Moses went up to God, and Jehovah called to him from the mountain.

[2] The expression Divine Truth in heaven is used, and then Divine Good in heaven, because the Divine Himself is far above the heavens; not only Divine Goodness itself is far above them but also Divine Truth itself which goes forth directly from Divine Good. The reason why they are far above heaven is that in Himself the Divine is the Infinite, and the Infinite cannot be joined to finite beings, thus not even to angels in heaven, unless He puts on some finite clothing and in that way adapts Himself for reception. Also Divine Good as it exists in itself is a flame of infinite intensity or love, a flame which no angel in heaven can bear; for he would be devoured by it, as a person in the world would be if the flame of the sun were to reach him without anything between them to moderate it. The light also from the flame of God's love, which is Divine Truth, would blind all who are in heaven if it were to flow in without abatement of its fiery brightness. All this goes to show what the difference is between Divine Good and Divine Truth that are above the heavens and Divine Good and Divine Truth in the heavens, which are the subject here.
