2 Mosebok 3

Studie

   

1 Och Mose vaktade fåren åt sin svärfader Jetro, prästen i Midjan. Och han drev en gång fåren bortom öknen och kom så till Guds berg Horeb.

2 Där uppenbarade sig HERRENS ängel för honom i en eldslåga som slog upp ur en buske. Han såg att busken brann av elden, och att busken dock icke blev förtärd.

3 Då tänkte Mose: »Jag vill gå ditbort och betrakta den underbara synen och se varför busken icke brinner upp.»

4 När då HERREN såg att han gick åstad för att se, ropade Gud till honom ur busken och sade: »Mose! Mose!» Han svarade: »Här är jag.»

5 Då sade han: »Träd icke hit; drag dina skor av dina fötter, ty platsen där du står är helig mark.»

6 Och han sade ytterligare: »Jag är din faders Gud, Abrahams Gud, Isaks Gud och Jakobs Gud.» Då skylde Mose sitt ansikte, ty han fruktade för att se på Gud.

7 Och HERREN sade: »Jag har nogsamt sett mitt folks betryck i Egypten, och jag har hört huru de ropa över sina plågare; jag vet vad de måste lida.

8 Därför har jag stigit ned för att rädda dem ur egyptiernas våld och föra dem från det landet upp till ett gott och rymligt land, ett land som flyter av mjölk och honung, det land där kananéer, hetiter, amoréer, perisséer, hivéer och jebuséer bo.

9 Fördenskull, eftersom Israels barns rop har kommit till mig, och jag därjämte har sett huru egyptierna förtrycka dem,

10 därför må du nu gå åstad, jag vill sända dig till Farao; och du skall föra mitt folk, Israels barn, ut ur Egypten»

11 Men Mose sade till Gud: »Vem är jag, att jag skulle gå till Farao, och att jag skulle föra Israels barn ut ur Egypten?»

12 Han svarade: »Jag vill vara med dig. Och detta skall för dig vara tecknet på att det är jag som har sänt dig: när du har fört folket ut ur Egypten, skolen I hålla gudstjänst på detta berg.»

13 Då sade Mose till Gud: »När jag nu kommer till Israels barn och säger till dem: 'Edra fäders Gud har sänt mig till eder', och de fråga mig; 'Vad är hans namn?', vad skall jag då svara dem?»

14 Gud sade till Mose: »Jag är den jag är.» Och han sade vidare: »Så skall du säga till Israels barn: 'Jag är' har sänt mig till eder.

15 Och Gud sade ytterligare till Mose: »Så skall du säga till Israels barn: HERREN, edra fäders Gud, Abrahams Gud, Isaks Gud och Jakobs Gud, har sänt mig till eder. Detta skall vara mitt namn evinnerligen, och så skall man nämna mig från släkte till släkte.

16 Gå nu åstad och församla de äldste i Israel, och säg till dem: HERREN, edra fäders Gud, Abrahams, Isaks och Jakobs Gud, har uppenbarat sig för mig, och han har sagt: 'Jag har sett till eder och har sett det som vederfares eder Egypten;

17 därför är nu mitt ord: jag vill föra eder bort ifrån betrycket i Egypten upp till kananéernas, hetiternas, amoréernas, perisséernas, hivéernas och jebuséernas land, ett land som flyter av mjölk och honung.'

18 Och de skola lyssna till dina ord; och du skall tillika med de äldste i Israel gå till konungen i Egypten, och I skolen säga till honom: HERREN, hebréernas Gud, har visat sig för oss, så låt oss nu gå tre dagsresor in i öknen och offra åt HERREN, vår Gud.'

19 Dock vet jag att konungen i Egypten icke skall tillstädja eder att gå, icke ens när han får känna min starka hand.

20 Men jag skall räcka ut min hand och slå Egypten med alla slags under, som jag vill göra där; sedan skall han släppa eder.

21 Och jag vill låta detta folk finna nåd för egyptiernas ögon, så att I, när I dragen bort, icke skolen draga bort med tomma händer;

22 utan var kvinna skall av sin grannkvinna och av den främmande kvinna som bor i hennes hus begära klenoder av silver och guld, så ock kläder. Dessa skolen I sätta på edra söner och döttrar. Så skolen I taga byte från egyptierna.»

Arcana Coelestia # 4495

4495. 'It happened on the third day' means that which is continuous even to the end. This is clear from the meaning of 'the third day' as that which is complete from beginning to end, dealt with in 2788, and so also as that which is continuous. People who suppose that the historical events described in the Word are no more than the facts of earthly history and are holy only because they appear in a sacred book are scarcely able to believe that 'the third day' has that meaning. But, as shown in preceding explanations, it is not only the actual historical narratives that include spiritual and celestial things which are not plainly visible in the letter, but also every word and every number too. The truth of this will in the Lord's Divine mercy be seen far more clearly in the prophetical sections which in the sense of the letter do not hold the mind to the sequence of events in the way that the historical sections do. But anyone who looks carefully into the interior contents of the Word comes to see that the number three, like the number seven, and also the number twelve, holds some arcanum. And if these numbers hold such it follows that every other number in the Word holds the same, for the Word is holy in every part.

[2] Sometimes, when I have been talking to angels, I have seen in front of me what looked like numbers written, as if on a sheet of paper, in broad daylight, and I have realized that the spiritual entities about which the angels spoke pass into numbers like these. From this experience I have also been given to know that each number in the Word contains some arcanum. This may be seen plainly from the following in John,

He measured the wall of the holy Jerusalem, a hundred and forty-four cubits, which is the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. Revelation 21:17.

And elsewhere,

Let him who has intelligence reckon the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, that is, its number is six hundred and sixty-six. Revelation 13:18.

It is evident that the first of these numbers, namely a hundred and forty-four, is the product of twelve times twelve, and that the number six hundred and sixty-six is a product of that involving three or six; but what degree of holiness is implied by them may be seen from the holiness associated with the number twelve, concerning which number see 577, 2089, 2129 (end), 2130 (end), 3272, 3858, 3913; and concerning the holiness associated with the number three, 720, 901, 1825, 2788, 4010.

[3] Because the number three meant that which is complete even to the end, and so an entire period, whether long or short, it was therefore adopted in the representative Church and used whenever such a meaning needed to be conveyed. It is also used in the same way in the Word, in which every detail carries a spiritual meaning, as may be seen from the following places:

They were to go a three days' journey and to offer sacrifice. Exodus 3:18; 5:3.

They were to be ready on the third day, for on the third day Jehovah would come down onto Mount Sinai. Exodus 19:11, 15-16, 18.

Nothing from the flesh of a sacrifice was to be left until the third day. Leviticus 7:16-18; 19:6-7.

The water of separation was to be sprinkled over the unclean person on the third day and on the seventh day. Numbers 19:11-end.

Those who touched one killed in war were to be cleansed on the third day and on the seventh day. Numbers 31:19-25.

[4] Joshua commanded the people that within three days they would be crossing the Jordan. Joshua 1:11; 3:2.

Jehovah called Samuel three times, and three times Samuel ran to Eli and the third time Eli understood that Jehovah was calling Samuel. 1 Samuel 3:1-8.

Jonathan told David to hide in the field until the third evening. And Jonathan sent to him on the third day from then, and revealed his father's intention. Jonathan at that point fired three arrows to the side of the stone. And after that David bowed down to the ground three times before Jonathan. 1 Samuel 20:5, 12, 19-20, 35-36, 41.

Three things were set before David, of which he was to choose one - either the coming of famine for seven years, or his fleeing before his enemies for three months, or the existence of pestilence in the land for three days. 2 Samuel 24:11-13.

[5] Rehoboam told the assembly of Israel which asked for relief from his father's yoke that they should go away for three days and then return And they came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king said, Return to me on the third day. 1 Kings 12:5, 12.

Elijah stretched himself over the widow's son three times. 1 Kings 17:21.

Elijah told them to pour water over the burnt offering and the wood a third time and they did so a third time. 1 Kings 18:34.

Jonah was in the stomach of the monster for three days and three nights Jonah 1:17; Matthew 12:40.

The Lord talked of someone who planted a vineyard and sent servants three times, and after that his son. Mark 12:2, 4-6, Luke 20:12-13.

Of Peter, He said that he was to deny Him three times. Matthew 26:34, John 13:38.

He said to Peter three times, Do you love Me? John 21:15-17.

[6] From these and many other places in the Word it becomes clear that the number three holds an arcanum within it, and that for this reason this number was adopted within the ancient Churches as a meaningful sign. It is evident that it means the entire period of a Church and of things within a Church, whether long or short, and therefore that which is complete and also that which is continuous even to the end, as is plain in Hosea,

Jehovah will revive us after two days, on the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live before Him. Hosea 6:2.

John 13

Studie

   

1 Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

2 During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,

3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and was going to God,

4 arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel, and wrapped a towel around his waist.

5 Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

6 Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?"

7 Jesus answered him, "You don't know what I am doing now, but you will understand later."

8 Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I don't wash you, you have no part with me."

9 Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!"

10 Jesus said to him, "Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you."

11 For he knew him who would betray him, therefore he said, "You are not all clean."

12 So when he had washed their feet, put his outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?

13 You call me, 'Teacher' and 'Lord.' You say so correctly, for so I am.

14 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

15 For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.

16 Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither one who is sent greater than he who sent him.

17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

18 I don't speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen. But that the Scripture may be fulfilled, 'He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.'

19 From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe that I am he.

20 Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me."

21 When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, "Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me."

22 The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.

23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus' breast.

24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, "Tell us who it is of whom he speaks."

25 He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus' breast, asked him, "Lord, who is it?"

26 Jesus therefore answered, "It is he to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it." So when he had dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

27 After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."

28 Now no man at the table knew why he said this to him.

29 For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus said to him, "Buy what things we need for the feast," or that he should give something to the poor.

30 Therefore, having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night.

31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.

32 If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.

33 Little children, I will be with you a little while longer. You will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, 'Where I am going, you can't come,' so now I tell you.

34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another.

35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

36 Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "where I am going, you can't follow now, but you will follow afterwards."

37 Peter said to him, "Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."

38 Jesus answered him, "Will you lay down your life for me? Most certainly I tell you, the rooster won't crow until you have denied me three times.
