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.

9416. And I will give thee the tables of stone. That this signifies the book of the law, or the Word in the whole complex, is evident from the signification of “the tables,” as being that whereon were written the things which are of doctrine and of life, here the things which are of heavenly doctrine and of a life in accordance therewith. That these tables signify the book of the law, that is, the Word in the whole complex, is because the things which were inscribed on them contained in general all things that belong to heavenly life and doctrine. Wherefore also those things which were inscribed on them are called “the ten words” (Exodus 34:28; Deuteronomy 10:4); for by “ten” in the internal sense are signified all; and by “words” are signified the truths of doctrine, and the goods of life. (That “ten” denotes all, see n. 3107, 4638, 8468, 8540; that “words” denote the truths and goods of life and doctrine, n. 1288, 4692, 5272.) For this reason these tables signify the Word in the whole complex; in like manner as the law, which in a close sense signifies what was inscribed on these tables; in a less close sense the Word written by Moses; in a wide sense the historic Word; and in the widest sense the Word in its whole complex; as may be seen above (n. 6752). Moreover, the things inscribed on these tables were the first of the revelation of Divine truth, and were proclaimed by the Lord before all the people of Israel with a living voice. The things which are first signify all the rest in their order; and their being proclaimed by the Lord with a living voice signifies immediate Divine inspiration in the rest also. The reason why these tables were of stone was that “stone” signifies truth (n. 643, 1298, 3720, 6426), properly truth in ultimates (n. 8609); truth Divine in ultimates is the Word in the letter, such as it is on this earth (n. 9360).

[2] The reason why there was not one table, but two, was that there might be represented the conjunction of the Lord through the Word with the church, and through the church with the human race. Therefore they are also called “the tables of the covenant” (Deuteronomy 9:9, 11, 15); and the words inscribed are called “the words of the covenant” (Exodus 34:27-28), and also “the covenant” (Deuteronomy 4:13, 23); and the ark itself, in which the tables were placed, was called “the ark of the covenant” (Numbers 10:33; 14:44; Deuteronomy 10:8; 31:9, 25-26; Josh. 3:3, 6, 8, 1, 11, 14, 17; 4:7, 9, 18; 6:6, 8; 8:33; Judges 20:27; 1 Samuel 4:3-5; 2 Samuel 15:24; 1 Kings 3:15; 6:19; 8:1, 6; Jeremiah 3:16); for a “covenant” denotes conjunction (n. 665, 666, 1023, 1038, 1864, 1996, 2003, 2021, 6804, 8767, 8778, 9396). Wherefore these tables were divided the one from the other; but were joined together by attachment; and the writing was continued from one table on to the other, as though it was upon one table; but not according to the common opinion, some commandments upon one table, and some upon the other. For by one being divided into two, and by the two being thus joined together, or placed beside each other, is signified the conjunction of the Lord with man. For this reason covenants were entered into in a similar way; as with Abraham by a she-calf, a she-goat, and a ram divided in the middle, and by one part being placed opposite the other (Genesis 15:9-12); in this chapter also by the blood being put in basins, and half of it being sprinkled on the altar, and half upon the people (verses 6, 8); and in general by all the sacrifices, a part of which was burnt upon the altar, and a part was given to the people to eat. The like was also represented by the breaking of bread by the Lord (Matthew 14:19; 15:36; 26:26; Mark 6:41; 8:6; 14:22; Luke 9:16; 22:19; 24:30, 35). Hence also it is that by “two” in the Word is signified conjunction (n. 5194, 8423), here, that of the Lord and heaven, or of the Lord and the church, thus also of good and truth, which conjunction is called the heavenly marriage. From this it can be seen why there were two tables, and why they were written on the two sides, on the one side and on the other (Exodus 32:15-16).

[3] Moreover, “writing” and “engraving” on “tables” signify in the Word those things which must be impressed on the memory and on the life, and which are therefore to be lasting; as in Isaiah:

Write it before them on a table, and impress it on a book, that it may be for the latter day forever even to eternity (Isaiah 30:8).

The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, with a point of a diamond; it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars (Jeremiah 17:1).

Jehovah said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for the appointed time; though it tarry, wait for it; because coming it will come (Hab. 2:2-3).

1298. And they had brick for stone. That this signifies that they had falsity for truth, is evident from the signification of “brick,” just now shown to be falsity; and from the signification of “stone,” which in a wide sense is truth, concerning which above n. 643). Stones have signified truth for the reason that the boundaries of the most ancient people were marked off by stones, and that they set up stones as witnesses that the case was so and so, or that it was true; as is evident from the stone that Jacob set up for a pillar (Genesis 28:22; 35:14), and from the pillar of stones between Laban and Jacob (Genesis 31:46-47, 52), and from the altar built by the sons of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh, near the Jordan, as a witness (Joshua 22:10, 28, 34). Therefore in the Word truths are signified by “stones;” insomuch that not only by the stones of the altar, but also by the precious stones upon the shoulders of Aaron’s ephod and upon the breastplate of judgment, there were signified holy truths which are of love.

[2] As regards the altar, when the worship of sacrifices upon altars began, the altar signified the representative worship of the Lord in general; but the stones themselves represented the holy truths of that worship; and therefore it was commanded that the altar should be built of whole stones, not hewn, and it was forbidden that any iron should be moved upon them (Deuteronomy 27:5-7; Joshua 8:31); for the reason that hewn stones, and stones on which iron has been used, signified what is artificial, and thus what is fictitious in worship; that is, what is of man’s own or of the figment of his thought and heart. This was to profane worship, as is plainly said in Exodus 20:25. For the same reason iron was not used upon the stones of the temple (1 Kings 6:7).

[3] That the precious stones upon the shoulders of Aaron’s ephod, and in the breastplate of judgment, signified holy truths, has been shown before n. 114). The same is evident in Isaiah:

Behold I will make thy stones to lie in carbuncle, and I will lay thy foundation in sapphires, and will put rubies for thy suns (windows), and thy gates in gem stones, and all thy border in stones of desire; and all thy sons shall be taught of Jehovah, and great shall be the peace of thy sons (Isaiah 54:11-13).

The stones here named denote holy truths, and therefore it is said, “all thy sons shall be taught of Jehovah.” Hence it is said in John that the foundations of the wall of the city, the holy Jerusalem, were adorned with every precious stone, and the stones are named (Revelation 21:19-20). The “holy Jerusalem” denotes the kingdom of the Lord in heaven and on earth, the foundations of which are holy truths. In like manner the tables of stone, on which the commands of the Law, or the Ten Words, were written, signified holy truths; and therefore they were of stone, or their foundation [fundus] was stone, concerning which see Exodus 24:12; 31:18; 34:1; Deuteronomy 5:22; 10:1, for the commands themselves are nothing else than truths of faith.

[4] As then in ancient times truths were signified by stones, and afterwards, when worship began upon pillars and altars, and in a temple, holy truths were signified by the pillars, altars, and temple, therefore the Lord also was called “a Stone;” as in Moses:

The Mighty One of Jacob, from thence is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel (Genesis 49:24).

In Isaiah:

Thus saith the Lord Jehovih, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a Stone, a tried Stone of the corner, of price, of a sure foundation (Isaiah 28:16).

In David:

The Stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner (Psalms 118:22).

The like is signified in Daniel by “the stone cut out of the rock,” which brake in pieces the statue of Nebuchadnezzar (Daniel 2:34-35, 45).

[5] That “stones” signify truths, is evident also in Isaiah:

By this shall the iniquity of Jacob be expiated, and this shall be all the fruit, to take away his sin; when he shall put all the stones of the altar as chalk stones that are scattered (Isaiah 27:9);

“the stones of the altar” denote truths in worship, which are dispersed. Again:

Make ye level the way of the people; flatten out, flatten ye out the path; gather out the stones (Isaiah 62:10);

“Way” and “stone” denote truths.

In Jeremiah:

I am against thee, O destroying mountain; I will roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee into a mountain of burning; and they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone of foundation (Jeremiah 51:25-26).

This is said of Babel; “a mountain of burning,” is the love of self. That “a stone should not be taken from it,” means that there is no truth.
