Izlazak 23

Studie

   

1 Ne iznosi lažnih glasova; ne pristaj s bezbožnikom da svedočiš krivo.

2 Ne idi za množinom na zlo, i ne govori na sudu povodeći se za većim brojem da se izvrne pravda.

3 Siromahu u parnici njegovoj ne gledaj što je siromah.

4 Ako naiđeš na vola neprijatelja svog ili na magarca njegovog, gde je zalutao, odvedi ga k njemu.

5 Ako vidiš gde je nenavidniku tvom pao magarac pod teretom svojim, nemoj da ga ostaviš, nego mu pomozi.

6 Nemoj izvrnuti pravde siromahu svom u parnici njegovoj.

7 Reči lažne kloni se, i bezazlenog i pravog nemoj ubiti, jer neću opravdati bezbožnika.

8 Ne uzimaj poklona, jer poklon zaslepljuje okate i izvrće reči pravima.

9 Došljake ne cveli, jer vi znate kakva je duša došljaku, jer ste bili došljaci u zemlji misirskoj.

10 Šest godina zasejavaj zemlju svoju i sabiraj rod njen;

11 A sedme godine ostavi je neka počine, da jedu siromasi naroda tvog, a šta iza njih ostane neka jedu zveri poljske; tako radi i s vinogradom svojim i s maslinikom svojim.

12 Šest dana radi poslove svoje, a u sedmi dan počini, da se odmori vo tvoj i magarac tvoj, i da odahne sin robinje tvoje i došljak.

13 Držite se svega što sam vam kazao. Ne pominjite imena bogova tuđih, i da se ne čuje iz usta vaših.

14 Tri puta preko godine svetkuj mi:

15 Praznik presnih hlebova drži; sedam dana jedi hlebove presne, kao što sam ti zapovedio, na vreme, meseca Aviva, jer si tada izašao iz Misira; i niko da ne izađe preda me prazan;

16 I praznik žetve prvina od truda tvog što poseješ u polju svom; i praznik berbe na svršetku svake godine, kad sabereš trud svoj s njive.

17 Tri puta preko godine sve muškinje tvoje da izlazi pred Gospoda Boga.

18 Krv od žrtve moje ne prinosi uz hlebove kisele, i pretilina praznika mog da ne prenoći do jutra.

19 Prvine od prvog roda zemlje svoje donesi u kuću Gospoda Boga svog; nemoj kuvati jagnjeta u mleku majke njegove.

20 Evo, ja šaljem anđela svog pred tobom da te čuva na putu, i da te odvede na mesto koje sam ti pripravio.

21 Čuvaj ga se, i slušaj ga, nemoj da ga rasrdiš, jer vam neće oprostiti greh, jer je moje ime u njemu.

22 Nego ako ga dobro uzaslušaš i ustvoriš sve što kažem, ja ću biti neprijatelj tvojim neprijateljima i protivnik tvojim protivnicima.

23 Jer će anđeo moj ići pred tobom i odvešće te u zemlju amorejsku i hetejsku i ferezejsku i hananejsku i jevejsku i jevusejsku, i ja ću ih istrebiti.

24 Nemoj se klanjati bogovima njihovim niti im služiti, ni činiti šta oni čine, nego ih sasvim obori i likove njihove sasvim izlomi.

25 I služite Gospodu Bogu svom, i On će blagosloviti hleb tvoj i vodu tvoju; i ukloniću bolest između vas.

26 Neće biti pometkinje ni nerotkinje u zemlji tvojoj; i broj dana tvojih napuniću.

27 Pustiću strah svoj pred tobom, i uplašiću svaki narod na koji dođeš, i obratiću k tebi pleći svih neprijatelja tvojih.

28 Poslaću i stršljene pred tobom, da teraju Jeveje, Hananeje i Heteje ispred tebe.

29 Neću ih oterati ispred tebe za jednu godinu, da ne opusti zemlja i da se zverje poljsko ne namnoži na tebe.

30 Pomalo ću ih odgoniti ispred tebe dokle se ne namnožiš i zauzmeš zemlju.

31 I postaviću međe tvoje od mora crvenog do mora filistejskog i od pustinje do reke; jer ću vama u ruke dati one koji žive u onoj zemlji da ih oteraš ispred sebe.

32 Nemoj hvatati vere s njima ni s bogovima njihovim.

33 Neka ne sede u zemlji tvojoj, da te ne navrate da se ogrešiš o mene, jer bi služio bogovima njihovim, i to bi ti bila zamka.

Apocalypse Revealed # 939

939. The fact that seeing the Lord's face does not mean seeing His face, but knowing and acknowledging Him as He is in respect to His Divine attributes, of which there are many, and that people conjoined with Him by love know Him and in that way see His face, can be seen from the following passages:

To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me... ...When you come to see the face of Jehovah... (Isaiah 1:11-12)

My heart said..., "Seek my face. Your face, Jehovah, I am seeking." (Psalms 27:8)

We will shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before His face with confession. (Psalms 95:1-2)

My soul thirsts... for the living God. When shall I come to see the face of God? ...yet shall I confess to Him the salvation of His countenance. (Psalms 42:2, 5)

They shall not see My face empty-handed. (Exodus 23:15)

...to come... to placate the face of Jehovah. (Zechariah 8:21-22, cf. Malachi 1:9)

Make Your face shine upon Your servant. (Psalms 31:16)

Who will show us any good? Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, Jehovah. (Psalms 4:6)

They shall walk, O Jehovah, in the light of Your countenance. (Psalms 89:15)

...O God, cause Your face to shine, that we may be saved! (Psalms 80:3, 7, 19)

God be merciful to us and bless us. May He cause His face to shine upon us. (Psalms 67:1)

Jehovah bless you and keep you; Jehovah make His face shine upon you and be merciful to you; Jehovah lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. (Numbers 6:24-26)

You hide them in the secret place of Your countenance... (Psalms 31:20)

You have set... our hidden secret in the light of Your countenance. (Psalms 90:8)

(Jehovah) said (to Moses), "My countenance will go... (Moses) said..., "If Your countenance does not go..., do not bring us down from here." (Exodus 33:14-15)

The bread on the table in the Tabernacle was called [literally] "the bread of faces" (Exodus 25:30, Numbers 4:7).

[2] We are often told, too, that Jehovah hid His face or turned His face away, as in the following:

...for (their) wickedness I have hidden My face from (them). (Jeremiah 33:5, cf. Ezekiel 7:22)

Your sins have hidden (God's) face from you... (Isaiah 59:2)

The face of Jehovah... will no longer regard them. (Lamentations 4:16)

(Jehovah) will hide His face from them..., according as they have made their works evil. (Micah 3:4)

You hid Your face... (Psalms 30:7, cf. 44:24; 104:29)

I will forsake them, and I will hide My face from them... I will surely hide My face... because of all the evil which they have done... (Deuteronomy 31:17-18)

And so on elsewhere, as in Isaiah 8:17; Ezekiel 39:23, 28-29; Deuteronomy 32:20.

[3] In an opposite sense, the face of Jehovah symbolizes anger and aversion, because an evil person turns away from the Lord, and when he turns away, it seems to him as though the Lord had turned away and was angry, as is clear from the following passages:

...I have set My face against this city for its evil... (Jeremiah 21:10, cf. 44:11)

I will set My face against that man and... devastate him... (Ezekiel 14:7-8)

I will set My face against them... and... fire shall devour them..., when I set My face against them. (Ezekiel 15:7)

...(he) who eats any blood, I will set My face against that soul... (Leviticus 17:10)

At the rebuke of Your countenance they perished. (Psalms 80:16)

The face of Jehovah is against those who do evil... (Psalms 34:16)

...I send an angel before you... Beware of his face..., for he will not endure your transgression. (Exodus 23:20-21)

Let Your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate You flee from Your countenance. (Numbers 10:35)

(I saw one sitting on the throne) from whose face the earth and heaven fled away. (Revelation 20:11)

That no one can see the Lord as He is in Himself, as we said above, is apparent from the following:

(Jehovah said to Moses,) "You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live." (Exodus 33:18-23)

That people nevertheless saw the Lord and lived, because He appeared by means of an angel, is apparent from Genesis 32:30, 1 Judges 13:22-23, 2 and elsewhere.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved."

2. Manoah said to his wife, "We shall surely die, because we have seen God!" But his wife said to him, "If Jehovah had desired to kill us, He would not have accepted a burnt offering and a grain offering from our hands, nor would He have shown us all these things, nor would He have told us such things as these at this time."
