Izlazak 24

Studie

   

1 I reče Mojsiju: Izađi gore ka Gospodu ti i Aron i Nadav i Avijud i sedamdeset starešina Izrailjevih, i poklonite se izdaleka.

2 I Mojsije sam neka pristupi ka Gospodu, a oni neka ne pristupe; i narod neka ne ide na gore s njim.

3 I dođe Mojsije, i kaza narodu sve reči Gospodnje i sve zakone. I odgovori narod jednim glasom i rekoše: Činićemo sve što je rekao Gospod.

4 I napisa Mojsije sve reči Gospodnje, i ustavši rano načini oltar pod gorom i dvanaest stupova za dvanaest plemena Izrailjevih.

5 I posla mladiće između sinova Izrailjevih, koji prinesoše žrtve paljenice i prinesoše teoce na žrtve zahvalne Gospodu.

6 I uzevši Mojsije polovinu krvi, metnu u zdele, a polovinu krvi izli na oltar.

7 I uze knjigu zavetnu i pročita narodu. A oni rekoše: Šta je god rekao Gospod činićemo i slušaćemo.

8 A Mojsije uze krv, i pokropi njom narod, i reče: Evo krv zaveta, koji učini Gospod s vama za sve reči ove.

9 Potom otide gore Mojsije i Aron, Nadav i Avijud, i sedamdeset starešina Izrailjevih.

10 I videše Boga Izrailjevog, i pod nogama Njegovim kao delo od kamena safira i kao nebo kad je vedro.

11 I ne pruži ruke svoje na izabrane između sinova Izrailjevih, nego videše Boga, pa jedoše i piše.

12 I reče Gospod Mojsiju: Popni se k meni na goru, i ostani ovde, i daću ti ploče od kamena, zakon i zapovesti, koje sam napisao da ih učiš.

13 Tada usta Mojsije s Isusom, koji ga služaše, i izađe Mojsije na goru Božiju.

14 A starešinama reče: Sedite tu dok se vratimo k vama; a eto Aron i Or s vama; ko bi imao šta, neka ide k njima.

15 I otide Mojsije na goru, a oblak pokri goru.

16 I beše slava Gospodnja na gori Sinajskoj, i oblak je pokrivaše šest dana; a u sedmi dan viknu Mojsija ispred oblaka.

17 I slava Gospodnja beše po viđenju kao oganj koji sažiže na vrh gore pred sinovima Izrailjevim.

18 I Mojsije uđe usred oblaka, i pope se na goru; i osta Mojsije na gori četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći.

9411. 'And they saw God' means faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'seeing God' as being endowed with intelligence and faith. 'Seeing' in the internal sense means seeing in a spiritual manner, and seeing in a spiritual manner implies seeing with the gift of faith; this is why 'seeing' in the Word means having faith, 2325, 3863, 3869, 4403-4421, 5400, 6805, 9128. The reason why they saw the God of Israel, that is, the Lord, is that in a broad sense the laws declared from Mount Sinai mean the Word in its entirety, and the Word is Divine Truth from the Lord, which deals in its highest sense with the Lord alone. All this being so, those who receive enlightenment when they read the Word see the Lord; they do so because of the faith and the love they have. They see Him solely in the Word and in no other writing whatever. From this it is evident why Moses, Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders saw Him. The fact that these saw Him and not the children of Israel who had been set apart is evident from the preceding verses 9 and 10, which say, 'Moses and Aaron went up, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel. And they saw the God of Israel', and the present verse says, 'And on the children of Israel who had been set apart He did not lay a hand'. The reason why the former saw God and not the latter was that 'Moses and Aaron' represented the Word in respect of its inward and outward senses, 9374, 'Nadab and Abihu' teachings derived from both senses, 9375, and 'the seventy elders' all who are governed by good which results from truths received from there, 9376, 9404, whereas 'the children of Israel who had been set apart' represented those who are restricted to the outward sense of the Word, separated from the inward.
