Izlazak 32

Studie

   

1 A narod videvši gde Mojsije za dugo ne silazi s gore, skupi se narod pred Arona, i rekoše mu: Hajde, načini nam bogove, koji će ići pred nama, jer tom Mojsiju koji nas izvede iz zemlje misirske ne znamo šta bi.

2 A Aron im reče: Poskidajte zlatne oboce što su u ušima žena vaših, sinova vaših i kćeri vaših, i donesite mi.

3 I poskida sav narod zlatne oboce što im behu u ušima, i donesoše Aronu.

4 A on uzevši iz ruku njihovih, sali u kalup, i načini tele saliveno. I rekoše: Ovo su bogovi tvoji, Izrailju, koji te izvedoše iz zemlje misirske.

5 A kad to vide Aron, načini oltar pred njim; i povika Aron, i reče: Sutra je praznik Gospodnji.

6 I sutradan ustavši rano prinesoše žrtve paljenice i žrtve zahvalne; i poseda narod, te jedoše i piše, a posle ustaše da igraju.

7 A Gospod reče Mojsiju: Idi, siđi, jer se pokvari tvoj narod, koji si izveo iz zemlje misirske.

8 Brzo zađoše s puta, koji sam im zapovedio; načiniše sebi tele liveno, i pokloniše mu se, i prinesoše mu žrtvu, i rekoše: Ovo su bogovi tvoji, Izrailju, koji te izvedoše iz zemlje misirske.

9 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju: Pogledah narod ovaj, i eto je narod tvrdog vrata.

10 I sada pusti me, da se raspali gnev moj na njih i da ih istrebim; ali od tebe ću učiniti narod velik.

11 A Mojsije se zamoli Gospodu Bogu svom, i reče: Zašto se, Gospode, raspaljuje gnev Tvoj na narod Tvoj, koji si izveo iz zemlje misirske silom velikom i rukom krepkom?

12 Zašto da govore Misirci i kažu: Na zlo ih izvede, da ih pobije po planinama i da ih istrebi sa zemlje? Povrati se od gneva svog, i požali narod svoj oda zla.

13 Opomeni se Avrama, Isaka i Izrailja, sluga svojih, kojima si se sobom zakleo i obrekao im: Umnožiću seme vaše kao zvezde na nebu, i zemlju ovu, za koju govorih, svu ću dati semenu vašem da je njihova doveka.

14 I ražali se Gospodu učiniti zlo narodu svom, koje reče.

15 Tada se vrati Mojsije, i siđe s gore sa dve ploče svedočanstva u rukama svojim; i ploče behu pisane s obe strane, otud i odovud pisane.

16 I behu ploče delo Božje, i pismo beše pismo Božje, urezano na pločama.

17 A Isus čuvši viku u narodu, kad vikahu, reče Mojsiju; vika ubojna u logoru.

18 A on reče: Nije to vika kako viču koji su jači, niti je vika kako viču koji su slabiji, nego čujem viku onih koji pevaju.

19 I kad dođe blizu logora, ugleda tele i igre, te se razgnevi Mojsije, i baci iz ruku svojih ploče, i razbi ih pod gorom.

20 Pa uze tele koje behu načinili i spali ga ognjem, i satre ga u prah, i prosu ga po vodi, i zapoji sinove Izrailjeve.

21 I reče Mojsije Aronu: Šta ti je učinio ovaj narod, te ga uvali u toliki greh?

22 A Aron mu reče: Nemoj se gneviti, gospodaru; ti znaš ovaj narod da je brz na zlo.

23 Jer rekoše mi: Načini nam bogove, koji će ići pred nama, jer tom Mojsiju koji nas izvede iz zemlje misirske ne znamo šta bi.

24 A ja im rekoh: Ko ima zlata, neka ga skida sa sebe. I dadoše mi, a ja ga bacih u vatru, i izađe to tele.

25 A Mojsije videći narod go, jer ga ogoli Aron na sramotu pred protivnicima njegovim,

26 Stade Mojsije na vrata od logora, i reče: K meni ko je Gospodnji. I skupiše se pred njega svi sinovi Levijevi.

27 I reče im: Ovako kaže Gospod Bog Izrailjev: Pripašite svaki svoj mač uz bedro svoje, pa prođite tamo i amo po logoru od vrata do vrata, i pobijte svaki brata svog i prijatelja svog i bližnjeg svog.

28 I učiniše sinovi Levijevi po zapovesti Mojsijevoj, i pogibe naroda u onaj dan do tri hiljade ljudi.

29 Jer Mojsije reče: Posvetite danas ruke svoje Gospodu, svak na sinu svom i na bratu svom, da bi vam dao danas blagoslov.

30 A sutradan reče Mojsije narodu: Vi ljuto sagrešiste; zato sada idem gore ka Gospodu, eda bih ga umolio da vam oprosti greh.

31 I vrati se Mojsije ka Gospodu, i reče: Molim Ti se; narod ovaj ljuto sagreši načinivši sebi bogove od zlata.

32 Ali oprosti im greh: Ako li nećeš, izbriši me iz knjige svoje, koju si napisao.

33 A Gospod reče Mojsiju: Ko mi je zgrešio, onog ću izbrisati iz knjige svoje.

34 A sada idi, vodi taj narod kuda sam ti kazao. Evo, moj će anđeo ići pred tobom, a kad ih pohodim, pohodiću na njima greh njihov.

35 I Gospod bi narod zato što načiniše tele, koje sali Aron.

9416. 'And I will give you tablets of stone' means the book of the law, or the Word in its entirety. This is clear from the meaning of 'tablets' as objects on which matters of doctrine and life have been inscribed, in this instance matters of heavenly doctrine and of life in keeping with it. The reason why those tablets mean the book of the law or the Word in its entirety is that the things which had been inscribed on them contained in a general way all matters of life and of that heavenly doctrine. This also explains why the things inscribed on them are called the ten words, Exodus 34:28; Deuteronomy 10:4. For 'ten' in the internal sense means all, and 'words' means truths that are matters of doctrine and forms of good that are matters of life. For the meaning of 'ten' as all, see 3107, 4638, 8468, 8540, and for that of 'words' as truths and forms of good that are matters of life and doctrine, 1288, 4692, 5272. This is why those tablets mean the Word in its entirety, just as the Law does, which in a restricted sense means the things which had been inscribed on those tablets, in a less restricted sense the Word that was written through Moses, in a broad sense the historical section of the Word, and in the broadest sense the Word in its entirety, see what has been shown in 6752. Furthermore the things which had been inscribed on those tablets belonged to the first stage in the revelation of Divine Truth; they were also declared in actual words uttered by the Lord before all the Israelite people. What belongs to the first stage means all the rest in their proper order; and the fact that those things were declared in actual words uttered by the Lord means direct Divine inspiration in all other stages of revelation as well. The reason why those tablets were made of stone was that 'stone' means truth, 643, 1298, 3720, 6426, the lowest levels of truth, to be exact, 8609. The lowest levels of God's truth constitute the letter of the Word as it exists on this planet, 9360.

[2] There was not one tablet but two, to represent the joining of the Lord to the Church through the Word, and through the Church to the human race. This also is why they are called the tablets of the covenant, Deuteronomy 9:9, 11, 15, and why the words inscribed on them are called the words of the covenant, Exodus 34:27-28, also the covenant, Deuteronomy 4:13, 23. And the ark itself in which the tablets had been deposited was called the ark of the covenant, Numbers 10:33; 14:44; Deuteronomy 10:8; 31:9, 25-26; Joshua 3:3, 6, 8, 11, 14, 17; 4:7, 9, 18; 6:6, 8; 8:33; Judges 20:27; 1 Samuel 4:3-5; 2 Samuel 15:24; 1 Kings 3:15; 6:19; 8:1, 6; Jeremiah 3:16. For a covenant is a joining together, 665, 666, 1023, 1038, 1864, 1996, 2003, 2021, 6804, 8767, 8778, 9396. This explains why those tablets were divided from each other yet were joined together by being laid alongside each other. The writing on them ran across continuously from one tablet onto the other, like the writing on a single tablet. It was not, as people ordinarily think, that some commandments were written on one tablet and some on the other. For a single object divided in two, and the two parts then brought together or given each to the other, means the Lord and man joined together. The establishment of covenants was therefore accomplished in similar ways, that with Abraham for example by parting down the middle a heifer, she-goat, and ram, and laying each part opposite the other, Genesis 15:9-12; in verses 6 and 8 of the present chapter by putting blood in bowls and then sprinkling it half over the altar and half over the people; and generally in all sacrifices by burning one part on the altar and giving the other part to the people to eat. The like was also represented by the Lord when He broke bread, Matthew 14:19; 15:36; 26:26; Mark 6:41; 8:6; 14:22; Luke 9:16; 22:19; 24:30-31, 35. Here also is the reason why 'two' in the Word means things joined together, 5194, 8423, here the Lord and heaven, or the Lord and the Church, joined together, thus also goodness and truth joined together, which is called the heavenly marriage. From all this it becomes clear why it is that there were two tablets and that both sides of them were written on, from edge to edge, Exodus 32:15-16.

[3] Furthermore when the writing and engraving on tablets is mentioned in the Word it means those things that must be imprinted in people's memory and on their life, and so remain there, as in Isaiah,

Write it on a tablet among them, and express it in a book, 1 so that it may be for time to come forever, even to eternity. Isaiah 30:8.

In Jeremiah,

The sin of Judah has been written with a pen of iron; with a point of diamond it has been engraved on the tablet of their heart, and at the horns of your altars. Jeremiah 17:1.

In Habakkuk,

Jehovah said, Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that one running by may read it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; if it tarries, wait for it, because it will surely come. Habakkuk 2:2-3.
