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.

8861. 'And God spoke all these words, saying' means God's truths for those in heaven and for those on earth. This is clear from the meaning of 'the words which God spoke' as God's truths; for things that God speaks are nothing other than truths. So it is also that God's truth is called 'the Word' - 'the Word' being the Lord - in John 1:1, for the reason that the Lord was Divine Truth itself while He was in the world. And after that, when He was glorified, He became Divine Good, and ever since then He has been the source from whom all Divine Truth flows. This Divine Truth comes to the angels as light, the light which also enlightens our inward sight, or power of understanding.

[2] Since this kind of sight does not see natural but spiritual things it has truths as its objects. On the level of the understanding it has spiritual ones, called the truths of faith. But on the natural level it has as its objects the truths concerning a person's role as a citizen, which are truths about what is right; also the truths concerning a person's role in private life, which are truths about what is honourable; and lastly the natural truths that are conclusions formed on the basis of objects perceived by the outward senses, in particular that of sight. From all this one may see in what order truths follow one another, and that all collectively and individually have their origin in God's truths, which are the inner beginnings of all truths. The forms also in which they exist have the same origin, since such forms have been created to receive and contain them. This shows how the teaching in John 1:1-3, that all things were created through the Word, should be understood; for God's truth is the supreme essential entity, the one true substance, through which all things come into being.
