1 Ja Jumala puhui kaikki nämät sanat, sanoen:

2 (1) Minä (olen) Herra sinun Jumalas; joka sinun Egyptin maalta orjuuden huoneesta ulos vienyt olen.

3 Ei sinun pidä muita jumalia pitämän minun edessäni.

4 Ei sinun pidä tekemän sinulles kuvaa eikä jonkun muotoa, niiden jotka ylhäällä taivaassa ovat, eli niiden, jotka alhaalla ovat maan päällä, eikä niiden, jotka vesissä maan alla ovat.

5 Ei sinun pidä kumartaman niitä, eikä myös palveleman niitä: Sillä minä, Herra sinun Jumalas, olen kiivas Jumala, joka etsiskelen isäin pahat teot lasten päälle, kolmanteen ja neljänteen polveen, jotka minua vihaavat;

6 Ja teen laupiuden monelle tuhannelle, jotka minua rakastavat, ja pitävät minun käskyni.

7 (2) Ei sinun pidä turhaan lausuman sinun Herras Jumalas nimeä; sillä ei Herra pidä sitä rankaisemata, joka hänen nimensä turhaan lausuu.

8 (3) Muista sabbatin päivää, ettäs sen pyhittäisit.

9 Kuusi päivää pitää sinun työtä tekemän ja kaikki askarees toimittaman.

10 Mutta seitsemäntenä päivänä on Herra sinun Jumalas sabbati: silloin ei sinun pidä yhtään työtä tekemän, eikä sinun, eikä sinun poikas, eikä sinun tyttäres, eikä sinun palvelias, eikä sinun piikas, eikä sinun juhtas, eikä sinun muukalaises, joka sinun portissas on.

11 Sillä kuutena päivänä on Herra, taivaan ja maan ja meren tehnyt, ja kaikki mitä niissä ovat, ja lepäsi seitsemäntenä päivänä. Sentähden siunasi Herra sabbatin päivän, ja pyhitti sen.

12 (4) Sinun pitää kunnioittaman isääs ja äitiäs, ettäs kauvan eläisit maan päällä, jonka Herra sinun Jumalas antaa sinulle.

13 (5) Ei sinun pidä tappaman.

14 (6) Ei sinun pidä huorin tekemän.

15 (7) Ei sinun pidä varastaman.

16 (8) Ei sinun pidä väärää todistusta sanoman sinun lähimmäistäs vastaan.

17 (9) Ei sinun pidä pyytämän sinun lähimmäises huonetta. (10) Ei sinun pidä himoitseman sinun lähimmäises emäntää, eikä hänen palveliaansa, eikä piikaansa, eikä hänen härkäänsä, eikä mitään mikä sinun lähimmäises on.

18 Ja kaikki kansa näki pitkäisen jylinän, ja tulen leimaukset, ja basunan helinän, ja vuoren suitsevan: ja koska he sen näkivät, niin he pakenivat ja seisahtuivat taamma.

19 Niin he sanoivat Mosekselle: puhu sinä meidän kanssamme, ja me kuulemme: ja älkään Jumala meidän kanssamme puhuko, ettemme kuolisi.

20 Ja Moses sanoi kansalle: älkäät peljätkö; sillä Jumala on tullut teitä koettelemaan, ja että hänen pelkonsa olis teidän edessänne, ettette syntiä tekisi.

21 Ja kansa seisahtui taamma; mutta Moses meni sen pimeyden tykö, jossa Jumala oli.

22 Ja Herra sanoi Mosekselle: niin sinun pitää Israelin lapsille sanoman: te olette nähneet, että minä olen taivaasta teidän kanssanne puhunut.

23 Ei teidän pidä tekemän epäjumalia minun sivuuni: hopiaisia jumalia, ja kultaisia jumalia ei teidän pidä teillenne tekemän.

24 Tee alttari maasta minulle, jonka päälle sinun pitää polttouhris ja kiitosuhris, sinun lampaas ja karjas uhraaman: mihinkä paikkaan ikänänsä minä säädän minun nimeni muiston, sinne minä tulen sinun tykös, ja siunaan sinua.

25 Ja jos sinä teet minulle kivisen alttarin, niin älä tee sitä vuoltuista kivistä: jos sinä siihen veitses satutat, niin sinä sen saastutat.

26 Ei myös sinun pidä astumilla minun alttarilleni astuman, ettei sinun häpiäs sen päällä paljastettaisi.

8872. 'And which are in the waters under the earth' means which exist on the level of the bodily senses. This is clear from the meaning of 'a likeness of the things which are in the waters under the earth', as those which come below the ones that exist in natural light. The fact that they exist on the level of the bodily senses is evident from the consecutive degrees of the light that shines in a person's understanding. In the first degree with him there are the things which exist in spiritual light; these are meant by 'the things which are in the heavens above'. In the second degree there are the things which exist in natural light; these are meant by 'the things which are on the earth beneath'. And in the third degree there are the things which exist on the level of the bodily senses; these are meant by 'the things which are in the waters under the earth'. What the level of the bodily senses is and the nature of it, see 5084, 5089, 5094, 5125, 5128, 5580, 5767, 6183, 6201, 6310-6316, 6318, 6598, 6612, 6614, 6622, 6624, 6844, 6845, 6948, 6949, 7442, 7693. The things which come to be known most directly from the experience of the outward senses, and the delights accompanying such knowledge, are connected with the level of the bodily senses. With those who are good that knowledge and associated delights are good because they are used in good deeds; but with those who are bad they are bad because they are used in bad deeds. Misleading by means of such knowledge and its delights, as pretenders, hypocrites, and deceivers are accustomed to do, is 'making a likeness of such things as are below the waters under the earth.'

Arcana Coelestia #5094

5094. 'The cupbearer and the baker' means regarding both kinds of sensory powers. This is clear from the meaning of 'the cupbearer' as the sensory powers subordinate to the understanding part of the mind, dealt with in 5077, and from the meaning of 'the baker' as the sensory powers subordinate to the will part, dealt with in 5078, which, as stated above in 5083, 5089, were cast aside by the interior natural. But it should be realized that the actual powers of the senses were not cast aside - that is to say, sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, for the life of the body is dependent on these - but the insights or thoughts, as well as the affections and desires, that are dependent on them. Objects belonging to the world enter a person's external or natural memory by way of his senses on the one hand and by way of his rational thought on the other. These objects then divide themselves off from one another in that memory; those entering through rational thought place themselves in a more internal position, whereas those entering through the senses do so in a more external one, as a consequence of which the natural comes to have two parts - the interior part and the exterior - as has also been stated above.

[2] The interior natural is what 'Pharaoh king of Egypt' represents, while the exterior natural is what 'the cupbearer and the baker' represents. The nature of the difference between the two becomes clear from the different ways they look at things, that is, from their thoughts and their conclusions based on those thoughts. The person who uses the interior natural to think with and to form conclusions is rational, and is so insofar as he has absorbed what comes to him through rational thought; but the person who uses the exterior natural to think with and form conclusions is governed by his senses, and is so insofar as he has absorbed what comes to him from sensory evidence. Such a person is called one governed by his senses, whereas the other is called one who is rational-natural. When a person dies he has the entire natural with him; and its form remains the same as that which it took in the world. He is also rational-minded to the extent he has absorbed ideas from rational thought, but sensory-minded to the extent he has absorbed ideas from his senses. The difference between the two is that, to the extent it has absorbed ideas from rational thought and made them its own, the natural looks down on the senses belonging to the exterior natural and controls them by disparaging and casting aside illusions formed by the senses. But to the extent that it has absorbed ideas formed by the bodily senses and made them its own the natural looks down on rational thought by disparaging this and casting it aside.

[3] An example of the difference between the two may be seen in the ability of the rational-natural man to comprehend that no one's life is self-existent but that it comes to him through an influx of life from the Lord by way of heaven, and the inability of one governed by the senses to comprehend the same. For the latter says his senses tell him and he can plainly see that his life is self-existent and that it is pointless to contradict the evidence of the senses. Let another example be given. The rational-natural man comprehends the existence of a heaven and a hell; but one governed by his senses denies the existence of these because he has no conception of another world purer than the one he sees with his eyes. The rational-natural man comprehends the existence of spirits and angels who are not visible to him; but one governed by the senses cannot comprehend the same, for he imagines that what he cannot see or touch has no existence.

[4] Here is another example. The rational-natural man comprehends that it is the mark of an intelligent being to have ends in view, and with foresight to be directing means towards some final end. When he looks at the natural creation from the point of view of the order of everything, he sees the natural creation as a complex system of means and realizes that an intelligent Supreme Being has given them direction, though to what final end he cannot see unless he becomes spiritual. But a person governed by his senses does not comprehend how anything distinct and separate from the natural creation can exist or how some Being superior to the natural order can do so. He has no notion of what exercising intelligence, exercising wisdom, having ends in view, or giving direction to means may be unless all these activities are being spoken of as natural ones; and when they are spoken of as such, his idea of them is like that of one who is designing a machine. These few examples show what is meant by the interior natural and the exterior natural, and by the powers of the senses being cast aside - not sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch in the body, but the conclusions reached by these about interior matters.
