Izlazak 33

Studie

   

1 I reče Gospod Mojsiju: Idi, digni se odatle ti i narod, koji si izveo iz zemlje misirske, put zemlje za koju se zakleh Avramu, Isaku i Jakovu govoreći: Semenu tvom daću je.

2 I poslaću pred tobom anđela, i izagnaću Hananeje, Amoreje i Heteje i Ferezeje i Jeveje i Jevuseje.

3 I odvešće vas u zemlju gde teče mleko i med; jer neću sam ići s tobom zato što si narod tvrdovrat, pa bih te mogao satrti putem.

4 A narod čuvši ovu zlu reč ožalosti se, i niko ne metnu na se svog nakita.

5 Jer Gospod reče Mojsiju: Kaži sinovima Izrailjevim: Vi ste narod tvrdovrat; doći ću časom usred tebe, i istrebiću te; a sada skini nakit svoj sa sebe, i znaću šta ću činiti s tobom.

6 I poskidaše sa sebe sinovi Izrailjevi nakite svoje kod gore Horiva.

7 A Mojsije uze šator i razape ga sebi iza logora daleko, i nazva ga šator od sastanka, i ko god tražaše Gospoda, dolažaše k šatoru od sastanka iza logora.

8 I kad Mojsije iđaše u šator, sav narod ustajaše, i svak stajaše na vratima svog šatora, i gledahu za Mojsijem dok ne uđe u šator.

9 A kad Mojsije ulažaše u šator, spuštaše se stup od oblaka i ustavljaše se na vratima od šatora, i Gospod govoraše s Mojsijem.

10 I sav narod videći stup od oblaka gde stoji na vratima od šatora, ustajaše sav narod, i svak se klanjaše na vratima od svog šatora.

11 I Gospod govoraše s Mojsijem licem k licu kao što govori čovek s prijateljem svojim. Potom se vraćaše Mojsije u logor, a sluga njegov Isus sin Navin, momak, ne izlažaše iz šatora.

12 I reče Mojsije Gospodu: Gledaj, Ti mi kažeš: Vodi taj narod. A nisi mi kazao koga ćeš poslati sa mnom, a rekao si: Znam te po imenu i našao si milost preda mnom.

13 Ako sam dakle našao milost pred Tobom, pokaži mi put svoj, da Te poznam i nađem milost pred Tobom; i vidi da je ovaj narod Tvoj narod.

14 I reče Gospod: Moje će lice ići napred, i daću ti odmor.

15 A Mojsije mu reče: Ako neće ići napred lice Tvoje, nemoj nas kretati odavde.

16 Jer po čemu će se poznati da smo našli milost pred Tobom, ja i narod Tvoj? Zar ne po tome što Ti ideš s nama? Tako ćemo se razlikovati ja i narod Tvoj od svakog naroda na zemlji.

17 A Gospod reče Mojsiju: Učiniću i to što si kazao, jer si našao milost preda mnom i znam te po imenu.

18 Opet reče Mojsije: Molim Te, pokaži mi slavu svoju.

19 A Gospod mu reče: Učiniću da prođe sve dobro moje ispred tebe, i povikaću po imenu: Gospod pred tobom. Smilovaću se kome se smilujem, i požaliću koga požalim.

20 I reče: Ali nećeš moći videti lice moje, jer ne može čovek mene videti i ostati živ.

21 I reče Gospod: Evo mesto kod mene, pa stani na stenu.

22 I kad stane prolaziti slava moja, metnuću te u raselinu kamenu, i zakloniću te rukom svojom dok ne prođem.

23 Potom ću dignuti ruku svoju, i videćeš me s leđa, a lice se moje ne može videti.

10546. 'And pitched it for himself outside the camp, far from the camp' means remote from the external things in which the interest of that actual nation lay. This is clear from the meaning of 'pitching the tent' as providing, arranging, and setting in order the things that belong to the Church and worship, for 'the tent' means the holiness of the Church, worship, and the Word, dealt with immediately above in 10545, so that 'pitching it' means providing, arranging, and setting those things in order; and from the meaning of 'the camp' as the heavenly order which heaven and the Church arise from and conform to. And since all the truths and forms of good of heaven and the Church are elements of that order, that which contains them is also meant. The reason why these elements are meant by 'the camp' is that by 'the children of Israel' who made up the camp all truths and forms of good in their entirety are meant. But when the children of Israel worshipped the calf instead of Jehovah their camp had a contrary meaning, namely hellish order and also that which contains the falsity and evil that compose hell. Whether you speak of the external things of worship and the Church without anything internal or you speak of hell, it amounts to the same thing; for people whose worship is external and not at all internal are ruled by self-love and love of the world, and self-love and love of the world come from hell. From this it is evident why 'Moses took his tent and pitched it outside the camp, far from the camp' - for 'the tent', as has been stated above, meant the holiness of worship, the Church, and the Word - and why those words mean remote from the external things in which the interest of the Israelite nation lay.

'The camp' means heavenly order, and 'encamping' means arranging good and truth into heavenly order, see 4236, 8103(end), 8130, 8131, 8155, 8193, 8196.

[2] Consequently 'the camp' means heaven and the Church, in that they contain that good and truth, 10038, and in the contrary sense hell, 10458.

Also, the external side of worship and of the Church separated from the internal constitutes hell, 10483, 10489, because people whose interest lies in external things separated from what is internal never receive any Divine influx at all, 10429, 10472, and are therefore incapable of possessing any faith in the Lord or love to Him, 10396, 10400, 10411.

They look solely in the direction of their own loves, thus in the direction of hell, 10422, and consequently worship self as their god, 10407, 10412.

The interest of the Israelite nation lay in external things separated from what was internal, see in the places referred to in 9380, and also what is said in 9373, 9381, 10396, 10401, 10407, 10492, 10498, 10500, 10533.
