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.

2342. And baked unleavened [bread]. That this signifies purification, is evident from the signification of “unleavened” or “unfermented.” In the Word “bread” signifies in general all celestial and spiritual food, thus celestial and spiritual things in general (see n. 276, 680, 1798, 2165, 2177). That these should be free from everything impure was represented by bread without leaven; for “leaven” signifies that which is evil and false, by which celestial and spiritual things are rendered impure and profane. On account of this representation it was commanded those who were of the Representative Church that in their sacrifices they should not offer any other bread, that is, meat-offering, than that which was unfermented or unleavened; as is evident in Moses:

No meat-offering which ye shall bring to Jehovah shall be made with leaven (Leviticus 2:11).

Again:

Thou shalt not sacrifice the blood of My sacrifice with what is leavened (Exodus 23:18; 24:25).

[2] And it was therefore also commanded, that on the seven days of the Passover they should not eat any other than unfermented or unleavened bread, as stated in Moses:

Seven days shall ye eat unleavened [bread]; even on the first day ye shall cause leaven to cease from your houses; for whosoever eateth what is leavened, from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at even, ye shall eat unleavened [bread], until the one and twentieth day of the month at even; seven days shall no leaven be found in your houses; for whosoever eateth what is leavened, that soul also shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a sojourner or born in the land (Exodus 12:15, 18-20; and elsewhere, as Exodus 13:6-7; 23:15; 34:18; Deuteronomy 16:3-4).

Hence the Passover is called the “Feast of Unleavened Bread” (Leviticus 23:6; Numbers 28:16-17; Matthew 26:17; Luke 22:1, 7).

[3] That the Passover represented the Lord’s glorification, and thereby the conjunction of the Divine with the human race, will of the Lord’s Divine mercy be shown elsewhere; and as the Lord’s conjunction with the human race is effected through love and charity and the faith thence derived, these celestial and spiritual things were represented by the unleavened bread that they were to eat on the day of the Passover; and lest these things should be contaminated by anything profane, that which was leavened was so severely interdicted that whoever should eat of it was to be cut off; for whoever profanes celestial and spiritual things cannot fail to perish. Everyone can see that apart from this secret meaning, this ceremonial, to which there was attached so severe a penalty, would never have been given.

[4] Everything that was commanded in that church represented some secret thing, even the very cooking, as was the case with every particular of what the sons of Israel did when they went forth from Egypt; to wit:

They shall eat on that night flesh roasted with fire, and unleavened bread upon bitter herbs; they shall not eat it raw, nor boiled in water; the head shall be on the legs; they shall not leave of it until the morning, but shall burn the residue with fire (Exodus 12:8-10).

These particulars, namely, that they should eat it by night, the flesh roasted with fire, the unleavened bread upon bitter herbs, the head on the legs, not raw, nor boiled in water, that they should not leave of it until the morning, and that they should burn the residue with fire, were representative. But the arcana represented cannot possibly appear unless disclosed by the internal sense; it is from this sense alone that it can be seen that all things are Divine.

[5] In like manner with the ritual in regard to the Nazirite:

The priest shall take the boiled shoulder of a ram, and one unleavened cake out of a basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the palms of the Nazirite, after he has shaved his nazariteship (Numbers 6:19).

He who does not know that the Nazirite represented the celestial man himself, does not know that celestial things, thus arcana which do not appear in the letter, are enfolded within all these particulars, namely, the boiled shoulder of a ram, the unleavened cake, the unleavened wafer, and the shaving of the hair; which shows what kind of an opinion concerning the Word must be formed by those who do not believe that it contains an internal sense; for without what is internal these are particulars of no moment: whereas when the ceremonial or ritual is removed, everything there becomes Divine and holy. The same is the case with everything else, as here with the unleavened bread, which denotes the holy of love, or a holy of holies, as it is likewise called in Moses:

The unleavened bread that is left shall be eaten by Aaron and his sons in a place of holiness, for it is a holy of holies (Leviticus 6:16-17).

The “unleavened bread” therefore denotes pure love; and the “baking of what is unleavened” denotes purification.
