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.

9474. 'Spices for the anointing oil' means internal truths belonging to the good that consecrates. This is clear from the meaning of 'spices' as interior truths, which are the truths of internal good, dealt with below; from the meaning of 'oil' as the good of love, as above in 9473; and from the meaning of 'anointing' as consecrating to serve as a representative sign. For objects which were to represent realities that were holy were anointed with oil smelling sweetly of spices and thereby consecrated, as is clear from these words later on in Exodus,

Take for yourself the chief spices - best myrrh, sweet-smelling cinnamon, sweet-scented cane, cassia, olive oil. Afterwards you shall make it a holy anointing oil, a perfect ointment; 1 a holy anointing oil it shall be. With it you shall anoint the tent, the ark of the Testimony, the table and all its vessels, the lampstand and its vessels, the altar of incense, the altar of burnt offering and all its vessels, and the laver and its base. Thus shall you sanctify them, that they may be most holy. 2 And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons. Exodus 30:23-31.

The reason why objects were holy when they had been anointed was that they then represented realities that were holy; and from this it is evident that the anointing of something was the consecration of it to serve as a representative sign.

[2] The reason why oil was used for anointing was that oil was the sign of celestial good, and celestial good is the good of love received from the Lord, and consequently is the good of love to the Lord. This good is the indispensable element within every single aspect of heaven and eternal life. Sweet-smelling spices were used to make that oil sweet-scented, to the end that what was delightful might be represented; for 'odour' means perception, and 'a pleasant and sweet odour' means a delightful perception, see 925, 1514, 1517-1519, 3577, 4624-4634, 4748. And since every perception of good comes through truth, spices were used, by which interior truths are meant, 4748, 5621.

[3] Something more must be stated briefly about why the anointing oil and also the incense were to be made sweet-smelling. As stated above, 'oil' means the good of love, and 'spice' internal truth. But the good of love cannot come to be perceived except through truths; for truth bears witness to good, indeed is the revealer of it, and may be called the outward form of good. This is like the situation with human will and understanding, in that the will cannot make itself known except through the understanding. For the understanding takes to itself and reveals the good of the will; also the understanding is the outward form of the will, in addition to which truth belongs to the understanding and good to the will. From all this it becomes clear why the anointing oil was made to smell sweetly of spices, as also was the incense. But the difference between them is that the spicy smell of the anointing oil means the delightfulness of internal perception, whereas the spicy smell of incense means the delightfulness of external perception. For the spicy smell of the anointing oil was given off without any smoke, and so presented a sweet odour without any external appearance, whereas the spicy smell of incense was given off with the smoke.
