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.

285. Since this law is the means of linking the Lord with man and man with the Lord, it is called a covenant and a testimony. It is called a covenant because it serves as a link, and a testimony because it establishes the terms of the covenant. For covenant in the Word means linking, testimony the establishment and witnessing of its terms. That is why there were two tablets, one for God and the other for man. The link is provided by the Lord, but only when man does what is written in his tablet. For the Lord is continually present, and wishes to enter; but man must open the door by the free will which the Lord gives him. For He says:

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with me, Revelation 3:20.

The stone tablets on which the law was written are called the tablets of the covenant, and the Ark is called from them the Ark of the covenant; the law itself is called the covenant: see Numbers 10:33; Deuteronomy 4:13, 23; 5:2-3; 9:9; Joshua 3:11; 1 Kings 8:21; Revelation 11:19; and elsewhere.

Since a covenant means being joined, it is said of the Lord that He will be a covenant for the people (Isaiah 42:6; 49:8); He is called the messenger of the covenant (Malachi 3:1); and His blood is called the blood of the covenant (Matthew 26:28; Zechariah 9:11; Exodus 24:4-10). That is why the Word is called the Old and the New Covenants 1 , for covenants are made on account of love, friendship, association and linking.

1. The author uses the correct Latin translation of the Greek word, which was erroneously translated into Latin in antiquity as testamentum, hence our Testament.
