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.

1298. 'They had brick for stone' means that they had falsity in place of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'brick' as falsity, dealt with just above, and also from the meaning of 'stone' in the broad sense as truth, dealt with already in 643. The reason 'stones' meant truth was that the most ancient people used to mark out boundaries by means of stones and raise up stones to testify that something was so, that is, was the truth. This is clear from the stone which Jacob set up as a pillar, Genesis 28:22; 35:14; from the pillar of stones placed between Laban and Jacob, Genesis 31:46-47, 52; and from the altar which the children of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh erected beside the Jordan as an altar of witness, Joshua 22:10, 28, 34. Consequently 'stones' in the Word means truths, so much so that not only the stones of the altar but also the precious stones in the shoulder-pieces of Aaron's ephod and in the breastplate of judgement meant the holy truths of love.

[2] Regarding the altar, when sacrificial worship on altars was introduced, an altar in that case meant representative worship of the Lord in general. 'The stones' themselves however meant the holy truths belonging to that worship. This was why it was commanded that the altar had to be built of whole and not of hewn stones, and why it was forbidden to use any iron tool on them, Deuteronomy 27:5-7; Joshua 8:31. The reason was that hewn stones, and those on which an iron tool had been used, meant artificialities and thus fabrications in worship. That is to say, they meant things that derive from the proprium, or from the inventions of man's own thought and heart, which was to profane worship, as is clearly stated in Exodus 20:25. For the same reason no tool of iron was used on the stones of the Temple, 1 Kings 6:7.

[3] That the precious stones set in the shoulder-pieces of Aaron's ephod and in the breastplate of judgement in a similar way meant holy truths has been shown already in 114. This is clear also in Isaiah,

Behold, I will set your stones in carbuncle and lay your foundations in sapphires; and I will make your suns (windows) of ruby, and your gates into precious stones, and all your border into pleasant stones And all your sons will be taught by Jehovah, and great will be the peace of your sons. Isaiah 54:11-13

The stones mentioned here stand for holy truths, and this is why it is said that 'all your sons will be taught by Jehovah'. It is also the reason why it is said in John that the foundations of the wall of the city, holy Jerusalem, were adorned with every kind of precious stone, which are each mentioned by name, Revelation 21:19-20. 'The holy Jerusalem' stands for the Lord's kingdom in heaven and on earth, the foundations of which kingdom are holy truths. Holy truths were similarly meant by the tables of stone on which the commandments of the Law, or Ten Commandments, were written. This was why they were made of stone or had a stone base, concerning which see Exodus 24:12; 31:18; 34:1; Deuteronomy 5:22; 10:1; for the commandments themselves are nothing else than truths of faith.

[4] Now because stones in ancient times meant truths, and because later on when worship on pillars, on altars, and in the Temple began, pillars, altars, and the Temple meant holy truths, the Lord also is therefore called 'a Stone': In Moses,

The Mighty One of Jacob - from there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel. Genesis 49:24.

In Isaiah,

The Lord Jehovih said, I am laying in Zion for a foundation a Stone, a tested Corner-Stone, precious, of sure foundation. Isaiah 28:16.

In David,

The Stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner Psalms 118:22.

The same is meant in Daniel 2:34-35, 45, by the stone cut out of the rock which smashed Nebuchadnezzar's statue to pieces.

[5] That 'stones' means truths is clear in Isaiah,

By this the iniquity of Jacob will be expiated, and this will be the full fruit to remove his sin, when He makes all the stones of the altar like chalk-stones scattered about. Isaiah 27:9.

'The stones of the altar' stands for truths in worship that have been dissipated. In the same prophet,

Make level the way of the people; level out, level out the highway; gather out the stones. Isaiah 62:10.

'The way' and 'the stones' stand for truths. In Jeremiah,

I am against you, O destroying mountain. I will roll you down from the rocks and I will make you into a mountain of burning. And they will not take from you a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations. Jeremiah 51:25-26.

This refers to Babel. 'A mountain of burning' is self-love. 'Taking no stone from it' means that there is no truth from this source.
