Êxodo 34

Étudier

   

1 Então disse o Senhor a Moisés: Lavra duas tábuas de pedra, como as primeiras; e eu escreverei nelas as palavras que estavam nas primeiras tábuas, que tu quebraste.

2 Prepara-te para amanhã, e pela manhã sobe ao monte Sinai, e apresenta-te a mim ali no cume do monte.

3 Mas ninguém suba contigo, nem apareça homem algum em todo o monte; nem mesmo se apascentem defronte dele ovelhas ou bois.

4 Então Moisés lavrou duas tábuas de pedra, como as primeiras; e, levantando-se de madrugada, subiu ao monte Sinai, como o Senhor lhe tinha ordenado, levando na mão as duas tábuas de pedra.

5 O Senhor desceu numa nuvem e, pondo-se ali junto a ele, proclamou o nome Jeová.

6 Tendo o Senhor passado perante Moisés, proclamou: Jeovã, Jeová, Deus misericordioso e compassivo, tardio em irar-se e grande em beneficência e verdade;

7 que usa de beneficência com milhares; que perdoa a iniqüidade, a transgressão e o pecado; que de maneira alguma terá por inocente o culpado; que visita a iniqüidade dos pais sobre os filhos e sobre os filhos dos filhos até a terceira e quarta geração.

8 Então Moisés se apressou a inclinar-se à terra, e adorou,

9 dizendo: Senhor, se agora tenho achado graça aos teus olhos, vá o Senhor no meio de nós; porque este é povo de dura cerviz:; e perdoa a nossa iniqüidade e o nosso pecado, e toma-nos por tua herança.

10 Então disse o Senhor: Eis que eu faço um pacto; farei diante de todo o teu povo maravilhas quais nunca foram feitas em toda a terra, nem dentro de nação alguma; e todo este povo, no meio do qual estás, verá a obra do Senhor; porque coisa terrível é o que faço contigo.

11 Guarda o que eu te ordeno hoje: eis que eu lançarei fora de diante de ti os amorreus, os cananeus, os heteus, os perizeus, os heveus e os jebuseus.

12 Guarda-te de fazeres pacto com os habitantes da terra em que hás de entrar, para que isso não seja por laço no meio de ti.

13 Mas os seus altares derrubareis, e as suas colunas quebrareis, e os seus aserins cortareis

14 (porque não adorarãs a nenhum outro deus; pois o Senhor, cujo nome é Zeloso, é Deus zeloso),

15 para que não faças pacto com os habitantes da terra, a fim de que quando se prostituirem após os seus deuses, e sacrificarem aos seus deuses, tu não sejas convidado por eles, e não comas do seu sacrifício;

16 e não tomes mulheres das suas filhas para os teus filhos, para que quando suas filhas se prostituírem após os seus deuses, não façam que também teus filhos se prostituam após os seus deuses.

17 Não farás para ti deuses de fundição.

18 A festa dos pães ázimos guardarás; sete dias comerás pães ázimos, como te ordenei, ao tempo apontado no mês de abibe; porque foi no mês de abibe que saíste do Egito.

19 Tudo o que abre a madre é meu; até todo o teu gado, que seja macho, que abre a madre de vacas ou de ovelhas;

20 o jumento, porém, que abrir a madre, resgatarás com um cordeiro; mas se não quiseres resgatá-lo, quebrar-lhe-ás a cerviz. Resgatarás todos os primogênitos de teus filhos. E ninguém aparecerá diante de mim com as mãos vazias.

21 Seis dias trabalharás, mas ao sétimo dia descansarás; na aradura e na sega descansarás.

22 Também guardarás a festa das semanas, que é a festa das primícias da ceifa do trigo, e a festa da colheita no fim do ano.

23 Três vezes no ano todos os teus varões aparecerão perante o Senhor Jeová, Deus do Israel;

24 porque eu lançarei fora as nações de diante de ti, e alargarei as tuas fronteiras; ninguém cobiçará a tua terra, quando subires para aparecer três vezes no ano diante do Senhor teu Deus.

25 Não sacrificarás o sangue do meu sacrifício com pão levedado, nem o sacrifício da festa da páscoa ficará da noite para a manhã.

26 As primeiras das primícias da tua terra trarás à casa do Senhor teu Deus. Não cozerás o cabrito no leite de sua mãe.

27 Disse mais o Senhor a Moisés: Escreve estas palavras; porque conforme o teor destas palavras tenho feito pacto contigo e com Israel.

28 E Moisés esteve ali com o Senhor quarenta dias e quarenta noites; não comeu pão, nem bebeu água, e escreveu nas tábuas as palavras do pacto, os dez mandamentos.

29 Quando Moisés desceu do monte Sinai, trazendo nas mãos as duas tsbuas do testemunho, sim, quando desceu do monte, Moisés não sabia que a pele do seu rosto resplandecia, por haver Deus falado com ele.

30 Quando, pois, Arão e todos os filhos de Israel olharam para Moisés, eis que a pele do seu rosto resplandecia, pelo que tiveram medo de aproximar-se dele.

31 Então Moisés os chamou, e Arão e todos os príncipes da congregação tornaram a ele; e Moisés lhes falou.

32 Depois chegaram também todos os filhos de Israel, e ele lhes ordenou tudo o que o Senhor lhe falara no monte Sinai.

33 Assim que Moisés acabou de falar com eles, pôs um véu sobre o rosto.

34 Mas, entrando Moisés perante o Senhor, para falar com ele, tirava o véu até sair; e saindo, dizia aos filhos de Israel o que lhe era ordenado.

35 Assim, pois, viam os filhos de Israel o rosto de Moisés, e que a pele do seu rosto resplandecia; e tornava Moisés a pôr o véu sobre o seu rosto, até entrar para falar com Deus.

Arcana Coelestia #1288

Étudier ce passage

  
/ 10837  
  

1288. That 'words were one' means that they held to the same doctrine in its particular details is clear from what has been stated already, for 'lip' means doctrine in general, as has been shown, while 'words' means doctrine in detail, that is, particular details of doctrine. These, as has been stated make no difference provided they have the same end in view, which is to love the Lord above all things and the neighbour as oneself. When they do so they are the details that contribute to the general whole.

[2] That 'the Word' means all doctrine concerning charity and faith derived from it and that 'words' means the details that constitute doctrine is clear in David,

I will confess You with uprightness of heart, when I learn Your righteous judgements I will keep Your statutes. How will a young man make pure his path? By observing Your Word. With my whole heart I have sought You; cause me not to wander from Your commandments I have laid up Your Word in my heart that I might not sin against You. Blessed are You, O Jehovah; teach me Your statutes! With my lips I have declared all the judgements of Your mouth. I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies. I meditate on Your commands and look to Your ways. I delight in Your statutes, I do not forget Your Word. Psalms 119:7-16.

'The Word' stands for doctrine in general. The fact that here commandments, judgements, testimonies, commands, statutes, way, and lips, are distinguished shows plainly that they are all features of the Word, that is, of doctrine. The same applies wherever else in the Word these terms are used with different meanings.

[3] In the same author,

A love song. My heart is pondering 1 a goodly theme. 2 My tongue is the pen of a ready scribe You are the fairest of the sons of man. Grace has poured out from your lips. Ride on the word of truth, and of the meekness of righteousness Your right hand will teach you marvellous things. Psalms 45:1-2, 4.

'Riding on the word of truth, and of the meekness of righteousness' is teaching the doctrine of truth and good. Here, as elsewhere in the Word, word, mouth, lip, and tongue mean differing things. The fact that they all have to do with doctrine concerning charity is clear because it is called 'a love song', and it is to this doctrine that 'the fairest of the sons of man', 'grace on the lips', and 'a right hand that teaches marvellous things' have reference.

[4] In Isaiah,

The Lord 3 has sent a word into Jacob, and it has fallen on Israel. Isaiah 9:8.

'A word' stands for the doctrine of internal and external worship. Here 'Jacob' stands for external worship, 'Israel' for internal. In Matthew,

Jesus said, Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that goes out of the mouth of God. Matthew 4:4.

In the same gospel,

When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not give heed to it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. Matthew 13:19

'The word' is again referred to in verses 20-23 of that chapter. In the same gospel,

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away. Matthew 24:35.

Here 'word' stands for the Lord's doctrine and 'words' for the things that constitute His doctrine.

[5] Since the term 'words' stands for everything that constitutes doctrine the Ten Commandments are therefore called 'words' in Moses,

Jehovah. wrote on the tables the words of the covenant, the ten words. Exodus 34:28.

In the same author,

He declared to you His covenant which He commanded you to perform, the ten words, and He wrote them on two tables of stone. Deuteronomy 4:13; 10:4.

In the same author,

Take heed, and guard your soul diligently, lest perhaps you forget the things 4 which your eyes have seen. Deuteronomy 4:9.

And there are further examples besides these.

Notes de bas de page:

1. The first Latin edition reads voluit (has willed) but comparison with the original Hebrew shows that volvit (is turning over or is pondering) is intended.

2. literally, a good word

3. The Latin has Jehovah but the Hebrew has the name meaning Lord, which Swedenborg has in another place where he quotes this verse.

4. literally, the words

Genesis 11

Étudier

   

1 The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.

2 It happened, as they traveled east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.

3 They said one to another, "Come, let's make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.

4 They said, "Come, let's build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let's make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth."

5 Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.

6 Yahweh said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.

7 Come, let's go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."

8 So Yahweh scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.

9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of all the earth. From there, Yahweh scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.

10 This is the history of the generations of Shem. Shem was one hundred years old and became the father of Arpachshad two years after the flood.

11 Shem lived five hundred years after he became the father of Arpachshad, and became the father of sons and daughters.

12 Arpachshad lived thirty-five years and became the father of Shelah.

13 Arpachshad lived four hundred three years after he became the father of Shelah, and became the father of sons and daughters.

14 Shelah lived thirty years, and became the father of Eber:

15 and Shelah lived four hundred three years after he became the father of Eber, and became the father of sons and daughters.

16 Eber lived thirty-four years, and became the father of Peleg.

17 Eber lived four hundred thirty years after he became the father of Peleg, and became the father of sons and daughters.

18 Peleg lived thirty years, and became the father of Reu.

19 Peleg lived two hundred nine years after he became the father of Reu, and became the father of sons and daughters.

20 Reu lived thirty-two years, and became the father of Serug.

21 Reu lived two hundred seven years after he became the father of Serug, and became the father of sons and daughters.

22 Serug lived thirty years, and became the father of Nahor.

23 Serug lived two hundred years after he became the father of Nahor, and became the father of sons and daughters.

24 Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and became the father of Terah.

25 Nahor lived one hundred nineteen years after he became the father of Terah, and became the father of sons and daughters.

26 Terah lived seventy years, and became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

27 Now this is the history of the generations of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran became the father of Lot.

28 Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.

29 Abram and Nahor took wives. The name of Abram's wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran who was also the father of Iscah.

30 Sarai was barren. She had no child.

31 Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife. They went forth from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan. They came to Haran and lived there.

32 The days of Terah were two hundred five years. Terah died in Haran.
