Exodo 34

Studie

   

1 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Humugis ka ng dalawang tapyas na bato na gaya ng una: at aking isusulat sa mga tapyas ang mga salita na nasa unang mga tapyas, na iyong sinira.

2 At iyong ihanda sa kinaumagahan, at sumampa ka sa kinaumagahan sa bundok ng Sinai at humarap ka roon sa akin sa taluktok ng bundok.

3 At sinomang tao ay huwag sasampang kasama mo, o makikita ang sinomang tao sa buong bundok; kahit ang mga kawan at ang mga bakahan ay huwag manginain sa harap ng bundok na yaon.

4 At siya'y humugis ng dalawang tapyas na bato na gaya ng una; at bumangon si Moises na maaga sa kinaumagahan, at sumampa sa bundok ng Sinai, gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon sa kaniya, at kinuha sa kaniyang kamay ang dalawang tapyas na bato.

5 At ang Panginoon ay bumaba sa ulap, at tumayong kasama niya roon at itinanyag ang pangalan ng Panginoon.

6 At ang Panginoo'y nagdaan sa harap niya, na itinanyag, Ang Panginoon, ang Panginoong Dios na puspos ng kahabagan at mapagkaloob, banayad sa pagkagalit, at sagana sa kaawaan at katotohanan;

7 Na gumagamit ng kaawaan sa libolibo, na nagpapatawad ng kasamaan, at ng pagsalangsang, at ng kasalanan: at sa anomang paraan ay hindi aariing walang sala ang salarin; na dinadalaw ang kasamaan ng mga ama sa mga anak, at sa mga anak ng mga anak, hanggang sa ikatlo at ika apat na salin.

8 At nagmadali si Moises, at itinungo ang kaniyang ulo sa lupa, at sumamba.

9 At kaniyang sinabi, Kung ngayo'y nakasumpong ako ng biyaya sa iyong paningin, Oh Panginoon, ay ipahintulot nawa ng Panginoon, isinasamo ko sa iyo, na pasa gitna namin; sapagka't isang bayang may matigas na ulo; at ipatawad mo ang aming kasamaan, at ang aming kasalanan, at ariin mo kaming iyong mana.

10 At kaniyang sinabi, Narito, ako'y nakikipagtipan sa harap ng iyong buong bayan at gagawa ako ng mga kababalaghan, na kailan ma'y hindi ginawa sa buong lupa, o sa alin mang bansa: at ang buong bayan sa gitna ng iyong kinaroroonan ay makakakita ng gawa ng Panginoon, sapagka't kakilakilabot na bagay ang aking gagawin sa pamamagitan mo.

11 Tuparin mo ang mga iniutos ko sa iyo sa araw na ito: narito, aking pinalalayas sa harap mo ang Amorrheo, at ang Cananeo, at ang Hetheo, at ang Pherezeo, at ang Jebuseo.

12 Magingat ka, na huwag kang makipagtipan sa mga tumatahan sa lupain na iyong pinaroroonan, baka maging isang silo sa gitna mo:

13 Kundi inyong iwawasak ang kanilang mga dambana, at inyong pagpuputolputulin ang kanilang mga haligi at inyong ibubuwal ang kanilang mga Asera.

14 Sapagka't hindi ka sasamba sa ibang dios: sapagka't ang Panginoon na ang pangalan ay Mapanibughuin; ay mapanibughuin ngang Dios:

15 Magingat ka; baka ikaw ay makipagtipan sa mga tumatahan sa lupain, at sila'y sumunod sa kanilang mga dios, at magsipaghain sa kanilang mga dios, at ikaw ay alukin ng isa at kumain ka ng kanilang hain;

16 At iyong papag-asawahin ang iyong mga anak na lalake at kanilang mga anak na babae, at ang kanilang mga anak na babae ay sumunod sa kanilang mga dios at pasunurin ang inyong mga anak na sumunod sa kanilang mga dios.

17 Huwag kang gagawa para sa iyo ng mga dios na binubo.

18 Ang kapistahan ng tinapay na walang lebadura ay iyong ipangingilin. Pitong araw na kakain ka ng tinapay na walang lebadura na gaya ng iniutos ko sa iyo, sa takdang panahon sa buwan ng Abib: sapagka't sa buwan ng Abib, ay umalis ka sa Egipto.

19 Yaong lahat na nagbubukas ng bahay-bata ay akin; at gayon din ang lahat ng hayop na lalake, ang panganay ng baka at ng tupa,

20 At ang panganay ng isang asno ay iyong tutubusin ng isang kordero: at kung hindi mo tutubusin ay iyo ngang babaliin ang kaniyang leeg. Lahat ng panganay sa iyong mga anak ay iyong tutubusin. At walang lalapit sa harapan ko na walang dala.

21 Anim na araw na gagawa ka, nguni't sa ikapitong araw ay magpapahinga ka: sa panahon ng pagbubukid at sa pagaani ay magpapahinga ka.

22 At iyong ipangingilin ang kapistahan ng mga sanglinggo, ang sa mga unang bunga ng pagaani ng trigo, at ang kapistahan ng pagaani sa katapusan ng taon.

23 Makaitlo nga sa isang taon na haharap ang lahat ng iyong mga lalake sa Panginoong Dios, na Dios ng Israel.

24 Sapagka't aking palalayasin ang mga bansa sa harap mo, at aking palalaparin ang iyong mga hangganan: at hindi pagnanasaan ng sinoman ang iyong lupain, pagka ikaw ay pumapanhik na humarap sa Panginoong iyong Dios, na makaitlo sa isang taon.

25 Huwag kang maghahandog ng dugo ng hain sa akin, na kasabay ng tinapay na may lebadura; o magtitira man ng hain sa kapistahan ng paskua hanggang sa kinaumagahan.

26 Ang pinakaunang bunga ng iyong lupa ay iyong dadalhin sa bahay ng Panginoon mong Dios. Huwag mong lulutuin ang batang kambing sa gatas ng kaniyang ina.

27 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Isulat mo ang mga salitang ito: sapagka't ayon sa tunog ng mga salitang ito, ay nakipagtipan ako sa iyo at sa Israel.

28 At siya'y natira doong kasama ng Panginoon, na apat na pung araw at apat na pung gabi; hindi man lamang siya kumain ng tinapay, o uminom man ng tubig. At isinulat ng Panginoon sa mga tapyas ang mga salita ng tipan, ang sangpung utos.

29 At nangyari, nang bumaba si Moises sa bundok ng Sinai, na dala ang tapyas na bato ng patotoo sa kamay niya, noong bumaba sa bundok ay hindi nalalaman ni Moises na ang balat ng kaniyang mukha ay nagliliwanag dahil sa pakikipagusap niya sa Dios.

30 At nang makita ni Aaron at ng lahat ng mga anak ni Israel si Moises, narito, ang balat ng kaniyang mukha ay nagliliwanag; at sila'y natakot na lumapit sa kaniya.

31 At tinawag sila ni Moises; at si Aaron at ang lahat ng puno sa Israel ay nagbalik sa kaniya: at si Moises ay nagsalita sa kanila.

32 At pagkatapos, ang lahat ng mga anak ni Israel ay lumapit; at kaniyang ibinigay sa kanila sa pamamagitan ng utos ang lahat ng salita ng Panginoon na sinalita sa kaniya sa bundok ng Sinai.

33 At pagkapagsalita sa kanila ni Moises ay naglagay siya ng isang lambong sa kaniyang mukha.

34 Datapuwa't pagka si Moises ay pumapasok sa harap ng Panginoon upang makipagsalitaan sa kaniya, ay nagaalis siya ng lambong hanggang siya'y makalabas; at siya'y lumabas at kaniyang sinalita sa mga anak ni Israel ang iniutos sa kaniya;

35 At nakita ng mga anak ni Israel ang mukha ni Moises, na ang balat ng mukha ni Moises ay nagliliwanag: at inilagay uli ni Moises ang lambong sa ibabaw ng kaniyang mukha, hanggang sa siya'y makapasok na nakipagsalitaan sa Dios.

3519. And take me from thence two good kids of the she-goats. That this signifies the truths of this good, is evident from the signification of “kids of the she-goats,” as being the truths of good, concerning which in what follows. The reason there were two, is that as in the rational, so in the natural, there are things which are of the will and things which are of the understanding. The things in the natural that have relation to the will are delights, and those which have relation to the understanding are memory-knowledges, and in order to be something these two must be conjoined together.

[2] That “kids of the she-goats” signify the truths of good, may be seen from those passages of the Word where “kids” and “she-goats” are mentioned. Be it known that in the genuine sense all the tame and useful beasts mentioned in the Word signify the celestial things of good and the spiritual things of truth (see n. 45, 46, 142, 143, 246, 714, 715, 2180, 2781, 3218); and because there are various kinds of celestial things or goods, and consequently various kinds of spiritual things or truths, one kind is signified by one beast, and another by another; thus one kind is signified by a “lamb,” another by a “kid,” another by a “sheep,” by a “she-goat,” a “ram,” a “he-goat,” a “bullock,” an “ox;” another also by a “horse” and by a “camel;” another likewise by birds; and also another by the beasts of the sea, as by “whales” and “fishes.” There are more genera of celestial and spiritual things than can be enumerated, consequently of goods and truths, although when the celestial or good is mentioned, and also the spiritual or truth, it appears as if it were not manifold, but only one. But how manifold they both are, or how innumerable their genera are, may be seen from what has been said concerning heaven (n. 3241), namely, that it is distinguished into innumerable societies, and this according to the genera of celestial and spiritual things, or of the goods of love and thence of the truths of faith; and moreover every single genus of good, and every single genus of truth, has innumerable species into which the societies of each genus are distinguished, and every species in like manner.

[3] The most universal genera of good and truth are what were represented by the animals that were offered in the burnt-offerings and sacrifices; and because the genera are most distinct from one another it was expressly enjoined that such and no other should be offered-in some cases, for instance, male and female lambs, also male and female kids; in some cases rams and sheep, and also he-goats; but in others, calves, bullocks, and oxen; also pigeons and turtle-doves (n. 922, 1823, 2180, 2805, 2807, 2830, 3218). What was signified by “kids” and “she-goats” may be seen both from the sacrifices in which they were offered, and also from other passages in the Word; whence it is evident that male and female “lambs” signified the innocence of the internal or rational man, and that “kids” and “she-goats” signified the innocence of the external or natural man, thus the truth and good thereof.

[4] That the truth and good of the innocence of the external or natural man is signified by “kids” and “she-goats” is evident from the following passages in the Word.

In Isaiah:

The wolf shall abide with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf, and the young lion, and the sheep 1 together; and a little child shall lead them (Isaiah 11:6); where the Lord’s kingdom is treated of, and a state of no fear from evil, or of no dread on account of hell, because one of presence with the Lord. The “lamb” and the “kid” denote those who are in innocence, and because these are the safest of all, they are mentioned first.

[5] When all the firstborn of Egypt were smitten, it was commanded that they should slay perfect and male young of the flock, of lambs or of kids, and should put some of the blood on the door-posts and on the lintel of the houses, and thus there should not be a plague on them from the destroyer (Exodus 12:5, 7, 13). The “firstborn of Egypt” denotes the good of love and charity extinct (n. 3325); “lambs” and “kids” are states of innocence; and those who are in these states are safe from evil, for all in heaven are protected by the Lord through states of innocence; and this protection was represented by the slaying of a lamb or kid, and by the blood upon the door-posts and lintel of the houses.

[6] When Jehovah appeared to anyone through an angel, a kid of the goats was sacrificed, lest the man should die-as when he appeared to Gideon (Judges 6:19), and to Manoah (13:15-16, 19). The reason was that Jehovah or the Lord cannot appear to anyone, not even to an angel, unless he to whom He appears is in a state of innocence; and therefore as soon as the Lord is present with anyone he is let into a state of innocence; for the Lord enters through innocence, even with the angels in heaven. On this account no one can come into heaven unless he has somewhat of innocence, according to the words of the Lord in Matthew 18:3; Mark 10:15; Luke 18:17. That men believed they should die when Jehovah appeared, unless they offered such a burnt-offering may be seen in Judges 13:22-23.

[7] Inasmuch as genuine conjugial love is innocence (see n. 2736), it was customary in the representative church to enter in unto a wife by a present of a kid of the she-goats; as we read of Samson (Judges 15:1); likewise of Judah when he went in unto Tamar (Genesis 38:17, 20, 23). That a “kid” and a “she-goat” signified innocence, is also evident from the sacrifices of guilt, which they were to offer when anyone had sinned through error (Leviticus 1:10; 4:28; 5:6); sin through error is a sin of ignorance in which is innocence. The same is evident from the following Divine command in Moses:

The first of the first-fruits of thy ground thou shalt bring into the house of Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in its mother’s milk (Exodus 23:19; 34:26); where by the “first-fruits of the ground, which they were to bring into the house of Jehovah,” is signified the state of innocence which is in infancy; and by “not seething a kid in its mother’s milk,” that they should not destroy the innocence of infancy. Because these things are signified, in both passages the one command follows the other without a break; and yet in the literal sense they appear to be altogether different; but in the internal sense they cohere together.

[8] Because as before said “kids” and “she-goats” signified innocence, it was also commanded that the curtain of the tent over the tabernacle should be made of the wool of she-goats (Exodus 25:4; 26:7; 35:5-6, 23, 26; 36:14), for a sign that all the holy things therein represented derived their essence from innocence. By the “wool of she-goats” is signified the ultimate or outermost of the innocence that is in ignorance, such as exists with the Gentiles; and who in the internal sense are the “curtains” of the tabernacle. From all this it is evident what and of what quality are the truths of good that are signified by the “two good kids of the she-goats” concerning which Rebekah his mother spoke unto Jacob her son, namely, that they are those of innocence or of infancy, being in fact those which Esau was to bring to his father Isaac; concerning which above (n. 3501, 3508); and which indeed were not these truths of good, but at first appeared as if they were; and it is for this reason that by means of these Jacob simulated Esau.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. The Hebrew for “sheep” (ovis) here is meri, which in the A. V. is rendered “fatling” three times, “fat cattle” twice, “fat beast” once, “fed beast” once. By Swedenborg it is rendered saginatum seven times, pinguis once, pingue pecus once, and ovis once. In the passage before us he has rendered it saginatum in n. 10132; True Christian Religion789; Apocalypse Explained514, 780, 781; pingue pecus in n. 430 and ovis here in n. 3519 of the same work. The commentators usually understand by it a fattened calf; some rabbis a wild ox (buffalo or bubalus); none have “sheep.”
