Exodo 24

Studie

   

1 At kaniyang sinabi kay Moises, Sumampa ka sa kinaroroonan ng Panginoon, ikaw, at si Aaron, si Nadab, at si Abiu, at pitong pu ng mga matanda sa Israel; at sumamba kayo mula sa malayo:

2 At si Moises lamang ang lalapit sa Panginoon; datapuwa't sila'y hindi lalapit; o ang bayan man ay sasampang kasama niya.

3 At lumapit si Moises at isinaysay sa bayan ang lahat ng mga salita ng Panginoon, at ang lahat ng mga palatuntunan. At ang buong bayan ay sumagot ng paminsan, at nagsabi, Lahat ng mga salita na sinalita ng Panginoon, ay aming gagawin.

4 At sinulat ni Moises ang lahat ng mga salita ng Panginoon, at bumangon ng maaga sa kinaumagahan, at nagtayo ng isang dambana sa paanan ng bundok, at ng labing dalawang batong pinakaalaala, ayon sa labing dalawang lipi ng Israel.

5 At kaniyang sinugo ang mga binata ng mga anak ni Israel, na nagsipaghandog ng mga handog na susunugin at nagsipaghain sa Panginoon ng handog na baka tungkol sa kapayapaan.

6 At kinuha ni Moises ang kalahati ng dugo, at inilagay sa mga tasa; at ang kalahati ng dugo ay iniwisik sa ibabaw ng dambana.

7 At kaniyang kinuha ang aklat ng tipan, at binasa sa pakinig ng bayan: at kanilang sinabi, Lahat ng sinalita ng Panginoon ay aming gagawin, at kami ay magmamasunurin.

8 At kinuha ni Moises ang dugo at iniwisik sa bayan, at sinabi, Narito ang dugo ng tipan, na ipinakipagtipan ng Panginoon sa inyo tungkol sa lahat ng mga salitang ito.

9 Nang magkagayo'y sumampa si Moises, at si Aaron, si Nadab, at si Abiu, at pitongpu ng mga matanda sa Israel:

10 At kanilang nakita ang Dios ng Israel; at mayroon sa ilalim ng kaniyang mga paa na parang isang yaring lapag na batong zafiro, at paris din ng langit sa kaliwanagan.

11 At sa mga mahal na tao sa mga anak ni Israel ay hindi niya ipinatong ang kaniyang kamay: at sila'y tumingin sa Dios, at kumain at uminom.

12 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Sampahin mo ako sa bundok, at dumoon ka: at ikaw ay bibigyan ko ng mga tapyas na bato, at ng kautusan, at ng utos na aking isinulat, upang iyong maituro sa kanila.

13 At tumindig si Moises, at si Josue na kaniyang tagapangasiwa: at si Moises ay sumampa sa bundok ng Dios.

14 At kaniyang sinabi sa mga matanda, Hintayin ninyo kami rito hanggang sa kami ay bumalik sa inyo: at, narito si Aaron at si Hur ay kasama ninyo: sinomang magkaroon ng usap ay lumapit sa kanila.

15 At sumampa si Moises sa bundok at tinakpan ng ulap ang bundok.

16 At ang kaluwalhatian ng Panginoon ay nanahan sa ibabaw ng bundok ng Sinai, at tinakpan ng ulap na anim na araw: at sa ikapitong araw ay tinawag niya si Moises sa gitna ng ulap.

17 At ang anyo ng kaluwalhatian ng Panginoon ay paris ng apoy na manunupok sa ibabaw ng taluktok ng bundok, sa harap ng mga mata ng mga anak ni Israel.

18 At pumasok si Moises sa gitna ng ulap, at sumampa sa bundok: at si Moises ay natira sa bundok na apat na pung araw at apat na pung gabi.

9383. 'All Jehovah's words and all the judgements' means things in the Word which are rules of life in the spiritual state and in the natural state. This is clear from the meaning of 'Jehovah's words' as things in the Word which are rules of life in the spiritual state, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'the judgements' as things in the Word which are rules of life in the natural state. The terms 'in the spiritual state' and 'in the natural state' are used because in general every person has two states. The first is peculiar and proper to the internal man and is called the spiritual state, the second is peculiar and proper to the external man and is called the natural state. The internal man's state is called spiritual because it is conditioned by truths belonging to the light of heaven, and by good belonging to the heat of that light, which is love. That light is called spiritual light because it enlightens the understanding part of the mind, and that heat is called spiritual heat, which is love and warms the will part. This is the reason why the internal man's state is called spiritual. But the external man's state is called natural because it is conditioned by truths belonging to the light of the world and by good belonging to the heat of this light, which too is love, but love for such things as exist in the world, for all heat of life is love. This is the reason why the external man's state is called natural. Rules of life in the natural state are meant by 'the judgements', while rules of life in the spiritual state are meant by 'Jehovah's words'.

[2] Both of these are derived from the Word because all the rules of life are there. They hold Life itself within them, for in the Word resides Divine Truth which has emanated and continues to emanate from the Lord, who is Life itself. From this it follows that all things in the Word are rules of life, and also that all things there have reference to life, as may be seen from those two commandments on which all things in the Word are founded, and about which the following is recorded in Matthew,

Jesus said, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. The second is like it, You shall love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments the Law and the Prophets depend. Matthew 22:37-40; Mark 12:29-31.

'Loving God and the neighbour' is a rule of life because the all of life belongs to love, so much so that without love life is not life, and the character of the love determines that of the life. The Law and the Prophets are the whole Word.
