1 Bấy giờ, Ðức Chúa Trời phán mọi lời nầy, rằng:

2 Ta là Giê-hô-va Ðức Chúa Trời ngươi, đã rút ngươi ra khỏi xứ Ê-díp-tô, là nhà nô lệ.

3 Trước mặt ta, ngươi chớ có các thần khác.

4 Ngươi chớ làm tượng chạm cho mình, cũng chớ làm tượng nào giống những vật trên trời cao kia, hoặc nơi đất thấp nầy, hoặc trong nước dưới đất.

5 Ngươi chớ quì lạy trước các hình tượng đó, và cũng đừng hầu việc chúng nó; vì ta là Giê-hô-va Ðức Chúa Trời ngươi, tức là Ðức Chúa Trời kỵ tà, hễ ai ghét ta, ta sẽ nhơn tội tổ phụ phạt lại con cháu đến ba bốn đời,

6 và sẽ làm ơn đến ngàn đời cho những kẻ yêu mến ta và giữ các điều răn ta.

7 Ngươi chớ lấy danh Giê-hô-va Ðức Chúa Trời ngươi mà làm chơi, vì Ðức Giê-hô-va chẳng cầm bằng vô tội kẻ nào lấy danh Ngài mà làm chơi.

8 Hãy nhớ ngày nghỉ đặng làm nên ngày thánh.

9 Ngươi hãy làm hết công việc mình trong sáu ngày;

10 nhưng ngày thứ bảy là ngày nghỉ của Giê-hô-va Ðức Chúa Trời ngươi: trong ngày đó, ngươi, con trai, con gái tôi trai tớ gái, súc vật của ngươi, hoặc khách ngoại bang ở trong nhà ngươi, đều chớ làm công việc chi hết;

11 vì trong sáu ngày Ðức Giê-hô-va đã dựng nên trời, đất, biển, và muôn vật ở trong đó, qua ngày thứ bảy thì Ngài nghỉ: vậy nên Ðức Giê-hô-va đã ban phước cho ngày nghỉ và làm nên ngày thánh.

12 Hãy hiếu kính cha mẹ ngươi, hầu cho ngươi được sống lâu trên đất mà Giê-hô-va Ðức Chúa Trời ngươi ban cho.

13 Ngươi chớ giết người.

14 Ngươi chớ phạm tội tà dâm.

15 Ngươi chớ trộm cướp.

16 Ngươi chớ nói chứng dối cho kẻ lân cận mình.

17 Ngươi chớ tham nhà kẻ lân cận ngươi, cũng đừng tham vợ người, hoặc tôi trai tớ gái, bò, lừa, hay là vật chi thuộc về kẻ lân cận ngươi.

18 Vả, cả dân sự nghe sấm vang, tiếng kèn thổi, thấy chớp nhoáng, núi ra khói, thì run rẩy và đứng cách tận xa.

19 Dân sự bèn nói cùng Môi-se rằng: Chính mình người hãy nói cùng chúng tôi thì chúng tôi sẽ nghe; nhưng cầu xin Ðức Chúa Trời chớ phán cùng, e chúng tôi phải chết chăng.

20 Môi-se đáp rằng: Ðừng sợ chi, vì Ðức Chúa Trời giáng lâm đặng thử các ngươi, hầu cho sự kính sợ Ngài ở trước mặt các ngươi, cho các ngươi không phạm tội.

21 Vậy, dân sự đứng cách tận xa, còn Môi-se đến gần đám mây đen kịt có Ðức Chúa Trời ngự ở trong.

22 Ðức Giê-hô-va phán cùng Môi-se rằng: Ngươi hãy nói cho dân Y-sơ-ra-ên như vầy: Các ngươi đã thấy ta từ trên trời phán xuống cùng;

23 vậy, chớ đúc tượng thần bằng bạc hay bằng vàng mà sánh với ta.

24 Ngươi hãy lập cho ta một bàn thờ bằng đất, trên đó phải dâng của lễ thiêu, cùng của lễ thù ân của ngươi, hoặc chiên hay bò. Phàm nơi nào có ghi nhớ danh ta, ta sẽ đếnban phước cho ngươi tại đó.

25 Nếu ngươi lập cho ta một bàn thờ bằng đá, chớ dùng đá chạm, vì nếu ngươi dùng đồ để chạm thì sẽ làm đá đó ra ô uế.

26 Ngươi chớ đi từ bực thang lên bàn thờ ta, hầu cho sự lõa lồ ngươi không tố lộ.

284. The points just made about the delivery, holiness, and power of this law are found in the following passages in the Word: Jehovah came down on Mount Sinai in fire, and then the mountain smoked and quaked, and there was much thunder and lightning, a thick cloud, and the sound of a trumpet (Exodus 19:16-18; Deuteronomy 4:11; 5:22-26). Before Jehovah came down, the people prepared and sanctified themselves for three days (Exodus 19:10-11, 15). The mountain was fenced all around to prevent anyone from dying as a result of approaching it. Not even priests went up; only Moses (Exodus 19:12-13, 20-23; 24:1-2). The law was delivered on Mount Sinai (; Deuteronomy 5:6-21). The law was engraved on two tablets of stone and was written by the finger of God (Exodus 31:18; 32:15-16; Deuteronomy 9:10). When Moses carried the tablets down the mountain for the second time, his face was glowing so much that he covered it with a veil while he was speaking to the people (Exodus 34:29-35). The tablets were stored in the ark (Exodus 25:16; 40:20; Deuteronomy 10:5; 1 Kings 8:9). The mercy seat was placed on top of the ark, and angel guardians made of gold were placed on top of the mercy seat (Exodus 25:17-21). The ark with its mercy seat and angel guardians was put in the tabernacle and constituted the primary and inmost part of it. The table covered with gold for the showbread, the golden altar for incense, and the golden lampstand with its lamps constituted an outer part of the tabernacle. The ten curtains made of [threads of] fine linen and of purple and scarlet [yarn] constituted the tabernacles outermost part (; ; 40:17-28). The place where the ark was kept was called the most holy place (Exodus 26:33). The entire Israelite population camped around the tabernacle tribe by tribe in a specific arrangement and traveled in a specific sequence behind it (). At those times there was a cloud over the tabernacle by day and a fire by night (Exodus 40:38; ; 14:14; Deuteronomy 1:33). Jehovah spoke to Moses from a place on top of the ark between the angel guardians (Exodus 25:22; Numbers 7:89). Because of the law that was inside it, the ark was called "Jehovah" there. When the ark would set out, Moses would say, "Arise, Jehovah. " When it would rest, he would say, "Return, Jehovah" (Numbers 10:35-36; also 2 Samuel 6:2; Psalms 132:7-8). Due to the holiness of this law, Aaron was not allowed to go behind the veil unless he offered sacrifices and burned incense (Leviticus 16:2-14 and following). The waters of the Jordan river were split by the presence of the Lord's power in the law that was inside the ark; and as long as the ark was resting in the middle of the riverbed, the people crossed on dry land (; 4:5-20). When the ark was carried around the walls of Jericho, they fell down (Joshua 6:1-20). Dagon, an idol of the Philistines, fell to the ground in front of the ark, and afterward lay on the threshold of the shrine decapitated, with the palms of its hands cut off (1 Samuel 5). Because of the ark, as many as several thousand inhabitants of Beth Shemesh were struck down (1 Samuel 5 and 6). Uzza died because he touched the ark (2 Samuel 6:7). David brought the ark back into Zion with sacrifices and shouts of triumph (2 Samuel 6:1-19). Solomon brought the ark into the Temple in Jerusalem where he had made a sanctuary for it (1 Kings 6:19; ).

Studie

      

1 David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.

2 David arose, and went with all the people who were with him, from Baale Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name, even the Name of Yahweh of Armies who sits [above] the cherubim.

3 They set the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in the hill: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.

4 They brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was in the hill, with the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.

5 David and all the house of Israel played before Yahweh with all kinds of [instruments made of] fir wood, and with harps, and with stringed instruments, and with tambourines, and with castanets, and with cymbals.

6 When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah put forth [his hand] to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the cattle stumbled.

7 The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Uzzah; and God struck him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.

8 David was displeased, because Yahweh had broken forth on Uzzah; and he called that place Perez Uzzah, to this day.

9 David was afraid of Yahweh that day; and he said, "How shall the ark of Yahweh come to me?"

10 So David would not move the ark of Yahweh to be with him in the city of David; but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

11 The ark of Yahweh remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months: and Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom, and all his house.

12 It was told king David, saying, "Yahweh has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that pertains to him, because of the ark of God." David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom into the city of David with joy.

13 It was so, that, when those who bore the ark of Yahweh had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.

14 David danced before Yahweh with all his might; and David was clothed in a linen ephod.

15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of Yahweh with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

16 It was so, as the ark of Yahweh came into the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before Yahweh; and she despised him in her heart.

17 They brought in the ark of Yahweh, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before Yahweh.

18 When David had made an end of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh of Armies.

19 He dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to everyone a cake of bread, and a portion [of flesh], and a cake of raisins. So all the people departed everyone to his house.
