Deuteronomium 9

Lernen

   

1 Slyš, Izraeli, ty přejdeš dnes přes Jordán, abys vejda, dědičně vládl národy většími a silnějšími, než jsi ty, městy velikými a ohrazenými až k nebi,

2 Lidem velikým a vysokým, syny Enakovými, o kterýchž víš, a o kterýchž jsi slyšel praviti: Kdo se postaví proti synům Enakovým?

3 Protož věziž dnes, že Hospodin Bůh tvůj, kterýž jde před tebou, jest jako oheň spalující. On vyhladí je, a on sníží je před tebou; i vyženeš je a vyhladíš je rychle, jakož mluvil tobě Hospodin.

4 Neříkejž v srdci svém, když by je zapudil Hospodin Bůh tvůj od tváři tvé, řka: Pro spravedlnost mou uvedl mne Hospodin, abych dědičně obdržel zemi tuto, tak jako pro bezbožnost národů těch Hospodin vyhnal je od tváři tvé.

5 Ne pro spravedlnost svou a pravost srdce svého ty jdeš, abys dědičně obdržel zemi jejich, ale pro bezbožnost národů těch Hospodin Bůh tvůj vyhání je od tváři tvé, a aby splnil slovo, kteréž s přísahou zaslíbil otcům tvým, Abrahamovi, Izákovi a Jákobovi.

6 Protož věziž, že ne pro spravedlnost tvou Hospodin Bůh tvůj dává tobě zemi tu výbornou, abys dědičně držel ji, poněvadž jsi lid tvrdé šíje.

7 Pamatujž a nezapomínej, že jsi k hněvu popouzel Hospodina Boha svého na poušti; hned od toho dne, když jsi vyšel z země Egyptské, až jste přišli na místo toto, odporni jste byli Hospodinu.

8 Také i na Orébě popudili jste k hněvu Hospodina, a rozhněval se na vás Hospodin, aby vás shladil.

9 Když jsem vstoupil na horu, abych vzal dsky kamenné, dsky smlouvy, kterouž učinil s vámi Hospodin, tehdáž jsem trval na hoře čtyřidceti dní a čtyřidceti nocí, chleba nejeda a vody nepije.

10 I dal mi Hospodin dvě dsky kamenné, psané prstem Božím, na nichž byla všecka ta slova, kteráž mluvil vám Hospodin na hoře z prostředku ohně v den shromáždění.

11 Po skonání pak čtyřidceti dnů a čtyřidceti nocí dal mi Hospodin dvě dsky kamenné, dsky smlouvy.

12 I řekl mi Hospodin: Vstana, sstup rychle odsud, nebo poškvrnil se lid tvůj, kterýž jsi vyvedl z Egypta; sešli brzy s cesty, kterouž jsem jim přikázal, a učinili sobě slitinu.

13 Mluvil také Hospodin ke mně, řka: Viděl jsem lid ten, a jistě lid tvrdošijný jest.

14 Pusť mne, ať je setru, a zahladím jméno jejich pod nebem, tebe pak učiním v národ větší a silnější, nežli jest tento.

15 Tedy obrátiv se, sstoupil jsem s hory, (hora pak hořela ohněm), dvě dsky smlouvy maje v obou rukou svých.

16 Když jsem pak pohleděl a uzřel jsem, že jste zhřešili Hospodinu Bohu vašemu, udělavše sobě tele lité, (brzy jste byli sešli s cesty, kterouž přikázal vám Hospodin):

17 Pochytiv ty dvě dsky, povrhl jsem je z obou rukou svých, a polámal jsem je před očima vašima.

18 A padna, ležel jsem před Hospodinem jako i prvé, čtyřidceti dní a čtyřidceti nocí, chleba nejeda a vody nepije, pro všecky hříchy vaše, kterýmiž jste byli zhřešili, činíce to, což zlého jest před očima Hospodinovýma, a popouzejíce jeho.

19 Nebo bál jsem se prchlivosti a hněvu, kterýmž se byl popudil Hospodin proti vám, aby zahladil vás, a uslyšel mne Hospodin i tehdáž.

20 Na Arona též rozhněval se byl Hospodin náramně, tak že ho zahladiti chtěl; tedy modlil jsem se také za Arona téhož času.

21 Hřích pak váš, kterýž jste byli učinili, totiž tele, vzav, spálil jsem je ohněm a zdrobil jsem je, tluka je dobře, dokudž nebylo setříno na prach. Potom vsypal jsem prach jeho do potoka, kterýž tekl s té hory.

22 Ano i v Tabbera a v Massah a v Kibrot Hattáve popouzeli jste Hospodina k hněvu.

23 A když vás poslal Hospodin z Kádesbarne, řka: Vstupte a opanujte zemi tu, kterouž jsem vám dal, odporni jste byli řeči Hospodina Boha svého, a nevěřili jste jemu, aniž jste uposlechli hlasu jeho.

24 Odporni jste byli Hospodinu od toho dne, jakž jsem vás poznal.

25 A padna, ležel jsem před Hospodinem čtyřidceti dní a čtyřidceti nocí, v nichž jsem rozprostíral se; nebo řekl Hospodin, že vás chce zahladiti.

26 I modlil jsem se Hospodinu, řka: Panovníče Hospodine, nezatracujž lidu svého, a to dědictví svého, kteréž jsi vykoupil velikomocností svou, kteréž jsi vyvedl z Egypta v ruce silné.

27 Rozpomeniž se na služebníky své, Abrahama, Izáka a Jákoba; nepatřiž na tvrdost lidu tohoto, na bezbožnost jeho a na hříchy jeho,

28 Aby neřekli obyvatelé země té, z níž jsi nás vyvedl: Proto že nemohl Hospodin uvésti jich do země, kterouž zaslíbil jim, aneb že je měl v nenávisti, vyvedl je, aby je pobil na poušti.

29 Však oni jsou lid tvůj a dědictví tvé, kteréž jsi vyvedl v síle své veliké a v rameni svém vztaženém.

284. The details just quoted about the proclamation of the law, its holiness and power, are to be found in the following passages of the Word. Jehovah came down on Mount Sinai in fire, and the mountain then smoked and shook, there was thunder and lightning, an oppressive cloud and the sound of a trumpet: Exodus 19:16-18; Deuteronomy 4:11; 5:22-26. The people prepared and sanctified themselves for three days before Jehovah came down: Exodus 19:10-11, 15. The mountain was hedged about to prevent anyone approaching its foot and coming near and being killed; not even the priests approached, only Moses: Exodus 19:12-13, 20-23; 24:1-2. The law was proclaimed from Mount Sinai: Exodus 20:2-17; Deuteronomy 5:6-21. The law was inscribed on two stone tablets, and written by the finger of God: Exodus 31:18; 32:15-16; Deuteronomy 9:10. When Moses carried the tablets down from the mountain the second time, his face shone so that he had to cover his face with a veil when talking with the people: Exodus 34:29-35. The tablets were laid up in the Ark: Exodus 25:16, 40:20; Deuteronomy 10:5; 1 Kings 8:9. The mercy-seat was mounted upon the Ark, and over it were placed cherubim made of gold: Exodus 25:17-21. The Ark together with the mercy-seat and the cherubim was put into the Tabernacle, constituting its first and thus most inward part; the table overlaid with gold, upon which was the bread of the Presence, the incense-altar of gold, and the lamp-stand and lamps of gold, made up the external part of the Tabernacle; the ten curtains of fine linen, purple and scarlet were its outermost part: Exodus 25:1-end; Exodus 26:1-end; Exodus 40:17-28. The place, where the Ark was, was called the Holy of Holies: Exodus 26:33. The whole people of Israel camped around the Tabernacle in the order of their tribes, and set out in order after it: Numbers 2:1-end. There was then a cloud over the Tabernacle by day and fire by night: Exodus 40:38; Numbers 9:15-end; Numbers 14:14; Deuteronomy 1:33. Jehovah spoke with Moses above the Ark, between the cherubim: Exodus 25:22; Numbers 7:89. The Ark was called from the law in it 'Jehovah-is-here'; for Moses said when the Ark set out 'Arise, Jehovah', and when it rested 'Return, Jehovah': Numbers 10:35-36; and further 2 Samuel 6:2 1 ; Psalms 132:7-8. On account of the holiness of the law Aaron was not allowed to go inside the veil, except with sacrifices and incense: Leviticus 16:2-14ff. By the presence of the Lord's power in the law contained in the Ark the waters of Jordan were parted, and the people crossed over on dry land, so long as it rested in the midst: ; 4:5-20. When the Ark was carried round them, the walls of Jericho fell down: Joshua 6:1-20. Dagon, the god of the Philistines, fell to the ground in the presence of the Ark, and afterwards was found lying on the threshold of the shrine with his head torn off and the palms of his hands cut off: 1 Samuel 5. The men of Bethshemesh were smitten because of the Ark to the number of many thousands: 1 Samuel 5, 6. Uzzah was killed by touching the Ark: 2 Samuel 6:7. The Ark was brought into Zion by David with sacrifices and jubilation: 2 Samuel 6:1-19. The Ark was brought by Solomon into the Temple at Jerusalem, where he made its inner shrine: 1 Kings 6:19ff; 1 Kings 8:3-9.

Joshua 2

Lernen

   

1 Joshua the son of Nun secretly sent two men out of Shittim as spies, saying, "Go, view the land, including Jericho." They went and came into the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab, and slept there.

2 The king of Jericho was told, "Behold, men of the children of Israel came in here tonight to spy out the land."

3 The king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, "Bring out the men who have come to you, who have entered into your house; for they have come to spy out all the land."

4 The woman took the two men and hid them. Then she said, "Yes, the men came to me, but I didn't know where they came from.

5 It happened about the time of the shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out. Where the men went, I don't know. Pursue them quickly; for you will overtake them."

6 But she had brought them up to the roof, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order on the roof.

7 The men pursued them the way to the Jordan to the fords: and as soon as those who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate.

8 Before they had laid down, she came up to them on the roof;

9 and she said to the men, "I know that Yahweh has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.

10 For we have heard how Yahweh dried up the water of the Red Sea before you, when you came out of Egypt; and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and to Og, whom you utterly destroyed.

11 As soon as we had heard it, our hearts melted, neither did there remain any more spirit in any man, because of you: for Yahweh your God, he is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath.

12 Now therefore, please swear to me by Yahweh, since I have dealt kindly with you, that you also will deal kindly with my father's house, and give me a true token;

13 and that you will save alive my father, my mother, my brothers, and my sisters, and all that they have, and will deliver our lives from death."

14 The men said to her, "Our life for yours, if you don't talk about this business of ours; and it shall be, when Yahweh gives us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you."

15 Then she let them down by a cord through the window; for her house was on the side of the wall, and she lived on the wall.

16 She said to them, "Go to the mountain, lest the pursuers find you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned. Afterward, you may Go your way."

17 The men said to her, "We will be guiltless of this your oath which you have made us to swear.

18 Behold, when we come into the land, you shall bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which you did let us down by. You shall gather to yourself into the house your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father's household.

19 It shall be that whoever goes out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood will be on his head, and we will be guiltless. Whoever is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand is on him.

20 But if you talk about this business of ours, then we shall be guiltless of your oath which you have made us to swear."

21 She said, "According to your words, so be it." She sent them away, and they departed. She tied the scarlet line in the window.

22 They went, and came to the mountain, and stayed there three days, until the pursuers had returned. The pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but didn't find them.

23 Then the two men returned, descended from the mountain, passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun; and they told him all that had happened to them.

24 They said to Joshua, "Truly Yahweh has delivered into our hands all the land. Moreover, all the inhabitants of the land melt away before us."
