Izlazak 34

1 I reče Gospod Mojsiju: Isteši sebi dve ploče od kamena kao što su bile prve, da napišem na tim pločama reči koje su bile na prvim pločama, koje si razbio.

2 I budi gotov za sutra da rano izađeš na goru Sinajsku, i staneš preda me na vrh gore.

3 Ali neka niko ne ide s tobom, i niko neka se ne pokaže na svoj gori, ni ovce ni goveda da ne pasu blizu gore.

4 I istesa Mojsije dve ploče od kamena kao što su bile prve, i ustavši rano izađe na goru Sinajsku, kao što mu zapovedi Gospod, i uze u ruku svoju dve ploče kamene.

5 A Gospod siđe u oblaku, i stade onde s njim, i povika po imenu: Gospod.

6 Jer prolazeći Gospod ispred njega vikaše: Gospod, Gospod, Bog milostiv, žalostiv, spor na gnev i obilan milosrđem i istinom.

7 Koji čuva milost hiljadama, prašta bezakonja i nepravde i grehe, koji ne pravda krivoga, i pohodi grehe otačke na sinovima i na unucima do trećeg i četvrtog kolena.

8 A Mojsije brže savi glavu do zemlje i pokloni se,

9 I reče: Ako sam našao milost pred Tobom, Gospode, neka ide Gospod posred nas, jer je narod tvrdovrat: i oprosti nam bezakonje naše i greh naš, i uzmi nas za nasledstvo.

10 A On reče: Evo postavljam zavet; pred celim narodom tvojim učiniću čudesa, koja nisu učinjena nigde na zemlji ni u kome narodu, i videćete delo Gospodnje sav narod, među kojim si, jer će biti strašno šta ću ja učiniti s tobom.

11 Drži šta ti danas zapovedam; evo, ja ću izagnati ispred tebe Amoreje i Hananeje i Heteje i Ferezeje i Jeveje i Jevuseje.

12 Čuvaj se da ne hvataš vere s onima koji žive u zemlji u koju ćeš doći, da ti ne budu zamka usred tebe.

13 Nego oltare njihove oborite, i likove njihove izlomite, i gajeve njihove isecite.

14 Jer ne valja da se klanjaš drugom Bogu: jer se Gospod zove revnitelj, Bog je revnitelj.

15 Nemoj hvatati vere s onima koji žive u onoj zemlji, da ne bi čineći preljubu za bogovima svojim i prinoseći žrtvu bogovima svojim pozvali te, i ti jeo žrtve njihove.

16 I da ne bi kćerima njihovim ženio sinove svoje, i da ne bi kćeri njihove čineći preljubu za bogovima svojim učinile da sinovi tvoji čine preljubu za bogovima njihovim.

17 Livene bogove ne gradi sebi.

18 Praznik presnih hlebova drži; sedam dana jedi presne hlebove, kao što sam ti zapovedio, na vreme, meseca Aviva, jer si tog meseca izašao iz Misira.

19 Sve što otvara matericu moje je, i svako muško u stoci tvojoj što otvara matericu, goveče ili sitna stoka.

20 Ali magare koje otvori matericu otkupi jagnjetom ili jaretom; ako li ga ne bi otkupio, slomi mu vrat; i svakog prvenca između sinova svojih otkupi; i da se niko ne pokaže prazan preda mnom.

21 Šest dana radi, a u sedmi dan počini, i od oranja i od žetve počini.

22 Praznuj praznik sedmica, prvina žetve pšenične, i praznik berbe na svršetku godine.

23 Tri puta u godini da se svako muško između vas pokaže pred Gospodom Bogom Izrailjevim.

24 Jer ću izagnati narode ispred tebe, i međe tvoje raširiću, i niko neće poželeti zemlje tvoje, kad staneš dolaziti da se pokažeš pred Gospodom Bogom svojim tri puta u godini.

25 Nemoj prinositi krv od žrtve moje uz hlebove kisele, i da ne prenoći do jutra žrtva praznika pashe.

26 Prvine od prvog roda zemlje svoje donesi u kuću Gospoda Boga svog; nemoj kuvati jare u mleku majke njegove.

27 I reče Gospod Mojsiju: Napiši sebi te reči; jer po tim rečima učinih zavet s tobom i s Izrailjem.

28 I Mojsije osta onde kod Gospoda četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći, hleba ne jedući ni vode pijući; i napisa Gospod na ploče reči zaveta, deset reči.

29 I kad Mojsije silažaše s gore Sinajske, i držaše u ruci dve ploče svedočanstva silazeći s gore, ne znaše da mu koža na licu posta svetla dokle govoraše s njim.

30 I vide Aron i svi sinovi Izrailjevi Mojsija, a to mu se svetli koža na licu, i ne smeše pristupiti k njemu.

31 Ali ih zovnu Mojsije, i vratiše se k njemu Aron i svi glavari u zboru, i govori s njima Mojsije.

32 Potom pristupiše svi sinovi Izrailjevi, i zapovedi im sve što mu kaza Gospod na gori Sinajskoj.

33 A kad im Mojsije izgovori, zastre lice svoje pokrivalom.

34 Ali kad Mojsije dolažaše pred Gospoda da s Njim govori, skidaše pokrivalo dokle ne bi izašao; a izašavši kazivaše sinovima Izrailjevim šta mu se zapovedaše.

35 Tada viđahu sinovi Izrailjevi lice Mojsijevo, gde se svetli koža na licu njegovom, te Mojsije opet zastiraše pokrivalom lice svoje dokle ne bi opet ušao da govori s Njim.

10609. 'Also no flock or herd shall feed before this mountain' means that neither were they capable of receiving instruction concerning the interior and exterior good of the Church, worship, and the Word. This is clear from the meaning of 'flock' as interior good, and from the meaning of herd' as exterior good, both of which are dealt with in 5913, 6048, 8937; from the meaning of 'feeding' as receiving instruction, dealt with in 5201, 6277; and from the meaning of 'mountain', which at this point is Mount Horeb, as the external aspect of the Church, worship, and the Word, dealt with in 10543. From these meanings it is evident that those words mean that neither was this nation capable of receiving instruction concerning the interior and exterior good of the Church, worship, and the Word, since they stood outside and in no way within that external aspect of them. The reason why they were incapable of receiving instruction concerning it was that they were ruled by self-love and love of the world, and people ruled by those loves are totally incapable of knowing what celestial and spiritual good is, and so of knowing what the Church's good is, since this good, being Divine, is spiritual and celestial. If this good were described to them they would not begin to comprehend it, because the internal part of the mind, where perception of that good takes place, is in their case closed.

[2] That such things are meant by 'no flock or herd shall feed before the mountain' may seem to be strange to those who confine their attention to the historical meaning of the Word and think no further than this, that something involving that nation is meant by these words. Nor is anything other than this known by those unacquainted with the internal sense of the Word, in which flock or herd are not meant by 'flock or herd' but the interior and exterior good residing with a person. For what does the Word, which is Divine, have to do with a flock and herd, that is, with animals? Human beings, their worship, love, and faith, thus such things as compose the Church with them, is what the Divine Word has to do with.

[3] The fact that such things, not flock or herd, are meant by 'flock or herd' is clear from places in the Word where they are mentioned, as in David,

You have given Him dominion over the works of Your hands; and You have put all things under His feet, flocks and all herds, and also the beasts of the fields. Psalms 8:6-7.

This refers to the Lord and to His power over all things in heaven and on earth, 'flocks' and 'herds' meaning forms of good, interior and exterior, that exist with people, and 'beasts' people's affections. If those creatures did not have these meanings what would be the point of describing the Lord's power, which is Divine, as power over flocks, herds, and beasts? For the meaning of 'beasts' as human affections, see in the places referred to in 9280.

[4] In Joel,

The day of Jehovah is near, and as destruction from Shaddai will it come. The beasts groan, the droves of the herd are perplexed, because they have no pasture, even the droves of the flock are made desolate. Joel 1:15, 18.

Here also 'the beasts' stands for human affections, 'the droves of the herd and of the flock' standing for forms of good, interior and exterior. For these verses refer to the Lord's Coming, this being what is meant by 'the day of Jehovah'. They also refer to the Church at that time, to its having been laid waste, that is, to its not possessing the good of love any longer, nor the good of faith, these being what 'beasts', 'herds', and 'flocks' mean. If they did not mean those things what would be the point of saying that the beasts would groan on that day, the droves of the herd would be perplexed, and the droves of the flock would be made desolate? What would all this have to do with the Church? Their having no pasture at that time means that no truth is present in which they may receive instruction.

[5] In Jeremiah,

From our youth shame is devouring the work of our fathers - their flocks and their herds, and their sons and their daughters. Jeremiah 3:24.

Here also 'flocks' and 'herds' mean the Church's forms of good, which are those of love and faith, interior and exterior ones.

[6] In Isaiah,

I will bring forth seed from Jacob, and from Judah the heir of My mountains. Then Sharon will be the dwelling-place of the flock, and the Valley of Achor the place for the herd to lie down 1 , for My people who have sought Me. Isaiah 65:9-10.

'Jacob' and 'Judah' here are not used to mean the people of Jacob and Judah but the external and internal celestial Church, 'Jacob' the external and 'Judah' the internal. The internal good of that Church is meant by 'the dwelling-place of the flock' and the external good by 'the place for the herd to lie down', 'Sharon' being the internal part [of that Church], where this good resides, and 'the Valley of Achor' the external part. The fact that 'Sharon' means the internal part of the celestial Church is clear from the places where Sharon is mentioned, as in Isaiah 33:9; 35:2; and the fact that 'the Valley of Achor' means the external part of that Church is clear in Hosea 2:15.

[7] In Hosea,

Israel, Ephraim, and Judah will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Jehovah, and they will not find [Him]. Hosea 5:5, 6.

Here also 'flocks' and 'herds' mean the interior and exterior things with those who should be understood by 'Israel, Ephraim, and Judah'. If they did not mean those things what would be the point of saying that these three would go with their flocks and herds to seek Jehovah?
