Exodo 31

Studie

   

1 At ang Panginoon ay nagsalita kay Moises, na sinasabi,

2 Tingnan mo aking tinawag sa pangalan si Bezaleel na anak ni Uri, na anak ni Hur, sa lipi ni Juda:

3 At aking pinuspos siya ng Espiritu ng Dios, sa karunungan at pagkakilala, at kaalaman, at sa lahat ng sarisaring gawain,

4 Upang kumatha ng mga gawang kaayaaya, upang gumawa sa ginto, at sa pilak, at sa tanso,

5 At upang umukit ng mga batong pangkalupkop, upang gumawa ng mga nililok na kahoy, at upang gumawa sa lahat na sarisaring gawain.

6 At ako, narito, aking inihalal na kasama niya si Aholiab, na anak ni Ahisamac sa lipi ni Dan; at sa puso ng lahat na maalam na puso, ay aking isinilid ang karunungan, upang magawa nila ang lahat ng aking iniutos sa iyo:

7 Ang tabernakulo ng kapisanan at ang kaban ng patotoo, at ang luklukan ng awa na nasa ibabaw niyaon, at ang lahat ng kasangkapan ng Tolda:

8 At ang dulang at ang mga sisidlan niyaon at ang kandelerong dalisay, sangpu ng lahat na mga sisidlan; at ang dambana ng kamangyan;

9 At ang dambana ng handog na susunugin sangpu ng lahat ng mga sisidlan niyaon, at ang hugasan at ang tungtungan niyaon;

10 At ang mga kasuutang mabuting yari, at ang mga banal na kasuutan na pangsuot kay Aarong saserdote, at ang mga kasuutan sa kaniyang mga anak, upang mangasiwa sa katungkulang saserdote;

11 At ang langis na pangpahid, at ang kamangyan na mabangong mga kamangyan na itataan sa dakong banal: ayon sa lahat na iniutos ko sa iyo ay kanilang gagawin.

12 At ang Panginoo'y nagsalita kay Moises, na sinasabi,

13 Salitain mo rin sa mga anak ni Israel, na iyong sabihin, Katotohanang ipangingilin ninyo ang aking mga sabbath; sapagka't isang tanda sa akin at sa inyo sa buong panahon ng inyong mga lahi, upang inyong makilala na ako ang Panginoon na nagpapabanal sa inyo.

14 Inyong ipangingilin ang sabbath nga; sapagka't yao'y pangilin sa inyo: bawa't lumapastangan ay walang pagsalang papatayin: sapagka't sinomang gumawa ng anomang gawa sa araw na yaon, ay ihihiwalay ang taong yaon sa kaniyang bayan.

15 Anim na araw na gagawin ang gawain; datapuwa't ang ikapitong araw ay sabbath na takdang kapahingahan, pangilin sa Panginoon: sinomang gumawa ng anomang gawa sa araw ng sabbath, ay walang pagsalang papatayin.

16 Kaya't ang mga anak ni Israel ay mangingilin ng sabbath, na tutuparin ang sabbath sa buong panahon ng kanilang mga lahi, na pinakapalaging tipan.

17 Ito'y isang tanda sa akin at sa mga anak ni Israel magpakailan man: sapagka't sa anim na araw ay ginawa ng Panginoon ang langit at lupa, at sa ikapitong araw, ay nagpahinga at naginhawahan.

18 At kaniyang ibinigay kay Moises, pagkatapos na makipagsalitaan sa kaniya sa ibabaw ng bundok ng Sinai, ang dalawang tapyas ng patotoo, na mga tapyas na bato, na sinulatan ng daliri ng Dios.

10336. 'And I have put wisdom in the heart of everyone wise in heart' means all those who will and do what is good and true for goodness and truth's sake. This is clear from the meaning of 'heart' as the inmost part of a person, which is called his will, and since that which composes a person's love constitutes his will, 'heart' also means love (for the meaning of 'heart' as love, see 3635, 3883-3896, 9050, and for the meaning of it as the will, 2930, 3888, 7542, 8910, 9113, 9300, 9495); from the meaning of 'the wise in heart' as one who wills and loves what is good and true for goodness and truth's sake, for it is the mark of someone 'wise', and it is wisdom, to be moved by love to put truths into practice, 10331, and the mark of someone 'wise in heart' and wisdom of heart to be moved by love to put good into practice; and from the meaning of 'putting wisdom in the heart' as being moved by the Lord, and so by the good of love, to do those things, for the good of love originates in the Lord. All such people will and do what is good and true for goodness and truth's sake, because good and the truth that goes with good are the Lord as He exists with them; for those things which originate in Him, and so which are His, are also He Himself.

[2] This is the reason for saying that the Lord is Goodness itself and Truth itself. It is clear from the Lord's own words that He is Goodness itself,

Why do you call Me Good? Nobody is Good except the one God. Matthew 19:16-17; Luke 18:18-19.

And where the good deeds of love and charity are listed,

Insofar as you did it to one of the least of these My brothers you did it to Me. Matthew 25:40.

The word 'brothers' describes those who are governed by good, and so describes varieties of good, see 2360, 3803, 3815, 4121, 5409; thus 'the Lord's brothers' are those who are governed by good that originates in Him, 4191, 5686, 5692, 6756. It is likewise clear from the Lord's words that He is Truth itself,

Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. John 14:6.

And elsewhere,

When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth; He will not speak from Himself. He will take from what is Mine and declare it to you. John 16:13-15.

From all this it is evident what 'putting wisdom in the heart' means.

[3] 'Writing the law on the heart' in Jeremiah is also used to mean much the same thing,

I will put My law in the midst of them, and will write it on their heart. No more will every man teach his companion, or every man his brother 1 , saying, Know Jehovah. For they all will know Me. Jeremiah 31:33-34.

'Writing the law on the heart' means entering Divine Truth into the will, thus in a person's love. When this is done the person no longer has to draw Divine Truth out of store in his memory; instead the good itself belonging to love causes him to perceive intuitively. This is why it says, 'No more will every man teach his companion, or every man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah. For they all will know Me'. This is what celestial angels inhabiting the inmost heaven are like, see in the places referred to in 9277.

[4] What it is to will and do what is good and true for goodness and truth's sake, meant here by 'putting wisdom in the heart of everyone wise in heart', must be stated briefly. All who love the Lord above all things and their neighbour as themselves do what is good and true for goodness and truth's sake. For as has been stated above, goodness and truth are the Lord Himself; therefore since they love what is good and true, that is, since they are moved by love to will and do it, they love the Lord. Those too who love their neighbour as themselves will and love what is good and true for goodness and truth's sake, for in the universal sense that which is good and true constitutes the neighbour. The neighbour is one's fellow citizen, the [local] community, one's country, the Church, and the Lord's kingdom; and loving the neighbour consists in goodwill towards these, that is, in desiring their good, and therefore their good is what must be loved. And when this is loved the Lord is loved, since He is the source of this good.

[5] From all this it is evident that love towards the neighbour, which is called charity, holds love to the Lord within itself. If this love is not held within it, fellow citizens, community, country, Church, and the Lord's kingdom are loved for selfish reasons, and so not from a desire that is good but from one that is bad; for whatever a person does for the sake of self as the end in view springs from a desire that is bad. Loving the neighbour for the sake of self consists in loving him for the sake of gain and important positions as the ends in view. The end in view is what determines whether something springs from a desire that is good or one that is bad. The end in view is identical with the love; for what the person loves, that he has as his end. The end in view is also identical with the will; for what a person wills, that he loves. Consequently the end for the sake of which someone acts, or his intentions, constitutes the real person; for a person's character is determined by the character of his will and of his love.
