8825. Verses 20-25. And Jehovah came down upon Mount Sinai, unto the head of the mountain; and Jehovah called Moses unto the head of the mountain; and Moses went up. And Jehovah said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest perchance they break through unto Jehovah to see, and many of them fall. And the priests also, who come near unto Jehovah shall sanctify themselves, lest perchance Jehovah make a breach in them. And Moses said unto Jehovah, The people cannot come up unto Mount Sinai; for Thou didst charge us, saying, Set bounds to the mountain, and sanctify it. And Jehovah said unto him, Go, get thee down; and come up thou, and Aaron with thee; and let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto Jehovah, lest perchance He make a breach in them. And Moses went down unto the people, and told them. “And Jehovah came down upon Mount Sinai,” signifies the presence of the Lord in heaven; “unto the head of the mountain,” signifies in the inmost heaven; “and Jehovah called Moses unto the head of the mountain, and Moses went up,” signifies the conjunction of truth from the Divine there; “and Jehovah said unto Moses,” signifies exhortation from the Divine; “Go down, charge the people, lest perchance they break through unto Jehovah to see,” signifies lest they who are of the spiritual church should desire to ascend into the heaven where the Divine celestial is; “and many of them fall,” signifies that so they would perish; “and the priests also who come near unto Jehovah shall sanctify themselves,” signifies that those who are in spiritual good in which is the Divine are to be covered over; “lest perchance Jehovah make a breach in them,” signifies consequently separation from good; “and Moses said unto Jehovah,” signifies the thought of truth from the Divine; “The people cannot come up unto Mount Sinai,” signifies that they cannot raise themselves to the celestial kingdom; “for Thou didst charge us,” signifies because they have been cautioned by the Divine; “saying, Set bounds to the mountain,” signifies by the fact that the spiritual sphere of good ceases below; “and sanctify it [the people],” signifies that thus they may be kept off from the Divine; “and Jehovah said unto him,” signifies further admonition; “Go, get thee down,” signifies influx; “and come up thou, and Aaron with thee,” signifies conjunction with truth from the Divine internal and external; “and let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto Jehovah,” signifies lest they who are in spiritual good and truth desire to ascend into the celestial heaven; “lest perchance He make a breach in them,” signifies separation from truth and good; “and Moses went down unto the people,” signifies the influx of the Divine through truth from the Divine; “and told them,” signifies thus admonition.
