7 Kinaugalian nga ni Moises na dalhin ang tolda at itayo sa labas ng kampamento, na malayo sa kampamento at kaniyang tinawag iyon, Tabernakulo ng kapisanan. At nangyari na bawa't magsiyasat sa Panginoon ay lumalabas na pumaparoon sa tabernakulo ng kapisanan, na nasa labas ng kampamento.

106. These two states are represented by various things in the natural universe. The reason is that they are in accordance with Divine order, and this pervades every single thing in the universe, down to the smallest detail. The first state is represented in the life of every person by his infancy and childhood, until he becomes a youth, adolescent and young man. This state is marked by humility before his parents, obedience, and being instructed by masters and underlings. The second state is represented by the same person's state when he becomes his own master, can make his own decisions, or follow his own will and his own understanding; at this stage he has control in his own house.

The first state then is represented by the state of a prince, a king's or duke's son, before he becomes king or duke. Likewise by the state of any citizen, before he becomes a magistrate; or of any subject before he becomes an official; or of any student who is being trained for the ministry before he becomes a priest, and then his state before he becomes a pastor, and then before he becomes a bishop; or of any young woman before she becomes a wife, or of any serving girl before she becomes mistress of a household. Generally speaking, it is the state of any apprentice before he becomes a merchant, any soldier before he becomes an officer, any servant before he becomes head of a household. The first state of these people is that of being a servant, the second that of following one's own will, and so one's own understanding.

[2] There are also various representations of these two states in the animal kingdom. The first is represented by animals and birds so long as they are tended by their parents, follow them constantly, and are fed and guided by them; the second when they leave their parents and look after themselves. Likewise with caterpillars, the first state is when they crawl and feed on leaves, the second when they slough their cases and become butterflies. There are also representations of these two states in things of the vegetable kingdom: the first when a plant springs up from seed, and decks itself out with branches, boughs and leaves; the second when it bears fruit, and produces a fresh crop of seed. This can be compared to the link between truth and good, because everything about a tree corresponds to truths, its fruits to kinds of good. A person who stops at the first state without entering upon the second is like a tree which produces only leaves and no fruit; of such a tree it is said in the Word that it is to be rooted out and cast into the fire ([Matthew 17:19], Matthew 21:19; Luke 3:9; 13:6-9; John 15:5-6). Or he is like the slave who does not wish to be free, of whom it was commanded that he should be brought to the door or door-post, and have his ear pierced with an awl (Exodus 21:6). Those who have no link with the Lord are slaves, but those who have are free; for the Lord says:

If the Son makes you free, you are truly free, John 8:36.

Exodo 17

Studie

   

1 At ang buong kapisanan ng mga anak ni Israel ay naglakbay mula sa ilang ng Sin, sa kanilang paglalakbay ayon sa utos ng Panginoon, at humantong sa Rephidim: at walang tubig na mainom ang bayan.

2 Kaya't ang bayan ay nakipagtalo kay Moises, at nagsabi, Bigyan mo kami ng tubig na aming mainom. At sinabi ni Moises sa kanila, Bakit kayo nakikipagtalo sa akin? bakit ninyo tinutukso ang Panginoon?

3 At ang bayan ay nauhaw at inupasala ng bayan si Moises, at sinabi, Bakit mo kami isinampa rito mula sa Egipto, upang patayin mo kami sa uhaw, at ang aming mga anak, at ang aming kawan?

4 At si Moises ay dumaing sa Panginoon, na nagsasabi, Anong aking gagawin sa bayang ito? kulang na lamang batuhin nila ako.

5 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Dumaan ka sa harap ng bayan, at ipagsama mo ang mga matanda sa Israel; at ang iyong tungkod na iyong ipinalo sa ilog, ay tangnan mo sa iyong kamay, at yumaon ka.

6 Narito, ako'y tatayo sa harap mo roon sa ibabaw ng bato sa Horeb; at iyong papaluin ang bato, at lalabasan ng tubig, upang ang bayan ay makainom. At gayon ginawa ni Moises sa paningin ng mga matanda sa Israel.

7 At tinawag nila ang pangalan ng dakong yaon, na Massah at Meribah, dahil sa pakikipagtalo ng mga anak ni Israel, at dahil sa kanilang tinukso ang Panginoon, na kanilang sinasabi, Ang Panginoon ba'y nasa gitna natin o wala?

8 Nang magkagayo'y dumating si Amalec, at nakipaglaban sa Israel sa Rephidim.

9 At sinabi ni Moises kay Josue, Ipili mo tayo ng mga lalake, at ikaw ay lumabas, lumaban ka kay Amalec; bukas ay tatayo ako sa taluktok ng burol, na aking tangan ang tungkod ng Dios sa aking kamay.

10 Gayon ginawa ni Josue, gaya ng sinabi ni Moises sa kaniya, at lumaban kay Amalec: at si Moises, si Aaron at si Hur ay sumampa sa taluktok ng burol.

11 At nangyari, pagka itinataas ni Moises ang kaniyang kamay, ay nananaig ang Israel: at pagka kaniyang ibinababa ang kaniyang kamay, ay nananaig si Amalec.

12 Datapuwa't ang mga kamay ni Moises ay nangalay; at sila'y kumuha ng isang bato, at inilagay sa ibaba, at kaniyang inupuan; at inalalayan ni Aaron at ni Hur ang kaniyang mga kamay, ang isa'y sa isang dako, at ang isa'y sa kabilang dako; at ang kaniyang mga kamay ay nalagi sa itaas hanggang sa paglubog ng araw.

13 At nilito ni Josue si Amalec, at ang kaniyang bayan, sa pamamagitan ng talim ng tabak.

14 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Isulat mo ito na pinakaalaala sa isang aklat, at ipagbigay alam mo kay Josue na aking ipalilimot ang pagalaala kay Amalec sa silong ng langit.

15 At nagtayo si Moises ng isang dambana, at pinanganlang Jehovanissi.

16 At kaniyang sinabi, Isinumpa ng Panginoon: ang Panginoon ay makikipagdigma kay Amalec sa buong panahon ng lahi nito.
