2 Mose 34

Studija

   

1 Und Jehova sprach zu Mose: Haue dir zwei steinerne Tafeln aus wie die ersten, und ich werde auf die Tafeln die Worte schreiben, welche auf den ersten Tafeln waren, die du zerbrochen hast.

2 Und sei bereit auf den Morgen, und steige am Morgen auf den Berg Sinai und stehe daselbst vor mir auf dem Gipfel des Berges.

3 Und niemand soll mit dir heraufsteigen, und es soll selbst niemand auf dem ganzen Berge gesehen werden; sogar Kleinvieh und Rinder sollen nicht gegen diesen Berg hin weiden.

4 Und er hieb zwei steinerne Tafeln aus wie die ersten; und Mose stand des Morgens früh auf und stieg auf den Berg Sinai, so wie Jehova ihm geboten hatte, und nahm, die zwei steinernen Tafeln in seine Hand.

5 Und Jehova stieg in der Wolke hernieder, und er stand daselbst bei ihm und rief den Namen Jehovas aus.

6 Und Jehova ging vor seinem Angesicht vorüber und rief: Jehova, Jehova, Gott, barmherzig und gnädig, langsam zum Zorn und groß an Güte und Wahrheit,

7 der Güte bewahrt auf Tausende hin, der Ungerechtigkeit, Übertretung und Sünde vergibt, aber keineswegs hält er für schuldlos den Schuldigen, der die Ungerechtigkeit der Väter heimsucht an den Kindern und Kindeskindern, am dritten und am vierten Gliede.

8 Und Mose neigte sich eilends zur Erde und betete an und sprach:

9 Wenn ich doch Gnade gefunden habe in deinen Augen, Herr, so ziehe doch der Herr in unserer Mitte denn es ist ein hartnäckiges Volk und vergib unsere Ungerechtigkeit und unsere Sünde, und nimm uns an zum Eigentum.

10 Und er sprach: Siehe, ich mache einen Bund: Vor deinem ganzen Volke will ich Wunder tun, die nicht gewirkt worden sind auf der ganzen Erde und unter allen Nationen; und das ganze Volk, in dessen Mitte du bist, soll das Werk Jehovas sehen; denn furchtbar ist, was ich mit dir tun werde.

11 Beobachte, was ich dir heute gebiete. Siehe, ich will vor dir vertreiben die Amoriter und die Kanaaniter und die Hethiter und die Perisiter und die Hewiter und die Jebusiter.

12 Hüte dich, daß du nicht einen Bund machest mit den Bewohnern des Landes, wohin du kommen wirst, daß sie nicht zum Fallstrick werden in deiner Mitte;

13 sondern ihre Altäre sollt ihr niederreißen und ihre Bildsäulen zerbrechen und ihre Ascherim ausrotten, -

14 denn du sollst nicht einen anderen Gott anbeten; denn Jehova, dessen Name Eiferer ist, ist ein eifernder Gott; -

15 daß du nicht einen Bund machest mit den Bewohnern des Landes und, wenn sie ihren Göttern nachhuren und ihren Göttern opfern, man dich einlade, und du von ihrem Schlachtopfer essest

16 und du von ihren Töchtern für deine Söhne nehmest, und ihre Töchter ihren Göttern nachhuren und machen, daß deine Söhne ihren Göttern nachhuren.

17 Gegossene Götter sollst du dir nicht machen. -

18 Das Fest der ungesäuerten Brote sollst du beobachten; sieben Tage sollst du Ungesäuertes essen, wie ich dir geboten habe, zur bestimmten Zeit des Monats Abib; denn im Monat Abib bist du aus Ägypten ausgezogen. -

19 Alles, was die Mutter bricht, ist mein; und all dein Vieh, das männlich geboren wird, das Erstgeborene vom Rind-und Kleinvieh.

20 Und das Erstgeborene vom Esel sollst du lösen mit einem Lamme; und wenn du es nicht lösest, so brich ihm das Genick. Jeden Erstgeborenen deiner Söhne sollst du lösen. Und man soll nicht leer erscheinen vor meinem Angesicht. -

21 Sechs Tage sollst du arbeiten, aber am siebten Tage sollst du ruhen; in der Pflügezeit und in der Ernte sollst du ruhen. -

22 Und das Fest der Wochen, der Erstlinge der Weizenernte, sollst du feiern; und das Fest der Einsammlung beim Umlauf des Jahres. -

23 Dreimal im Jahre sollen alle deine Männlichen erscheinen vor dem Angesicht des Herrn Jehova, des Gottes Israels.

24 Denn ich werde die Nationen vor dir austreiben und deine Grenze erweitern; und niemand wird deines Landes begehren, wenn du hinaufziehst, um vor dem Angesicht Jehovas, deines Gottes, zu erscheinen dreimal im Jahre. -

25 Du sollst nicht das Blut meines Schlachtopfers zu Gesäuertem opfern; und das Schlachtopfer des Passahfestes soll nicht über Nacht bleiben bis an den Morgen. -

26 Das Erste der Erstlinge deines Landes sollst du in das Haus Jehovas, deines Gottes, bringen. Du sollst ein Böcklein nicht kochen in der Milch seiner Mutter.

27 Und Jehova sprach zu Mose: Schreibe dir diese Worte auf; denn nach dem Inhalt dieser Worte habe ich mit dir und mit Israel einen Bund gemacht.

28 Und er war daselbst bei Jehova vierzig Tage und vierzig Nächte; er kein Brot und trank kein Wasser. Und er schrieb auf die Tafeln die Worte des Bundes, die zehn Worte.

29 Und es Geschah, als Mose von dem Berge Sinai herabstieg, -und die zwei Tafeln des Zeugnisses waren in der Hand Moses, als er von dem Berge herabstieg, da wußte Mose nicht, daß die Haut seines Angesichts strahlte, weil er mit ihm geredet hatte.

30 Und Aaron und alle Kinder Israel sahen Mose an, und siehe, die Haut seines Angesichts strahlte; und sie fürchteten sich, ihm zu nahen.

31 Und Mose rief ihnen zu, und sie wandten sich zu ihm, Aaron und alle Fürsten in der Gemeinde; und Mose redete zu ihnen.

32 Und danach nahten sich alle Kinder Israel; und er gebot ihnen alles, was Jehova auf dem Berge Sinai zu ihm geredet hatte.

33 Und Mose hörte auf, mit ihnen zu reden. Und er hatte eine Decke auf sein Angesicht gelegt.

34 Und wenn Mose vor Jehova hineinging, um mit ihm zu reden, tat er die Decke ab, bis er hinausging; und er ging hinaus und redete zu den Kindern Israel, was ihm geboten war;

35 und die Kinder Israel sahen das Angesicht Moses, daß die Haut des Angesichts Moses strahlte; und Mose tat die Decke wieder auf sein Angesicht, bis er hineinging, um mit ihm zu reden.

2686. That 'a bow' is the doctrine of faith is clear from its meaning. In the Word, wherever wars are the subject and wherever wars are mentioned, none but spiritual wars are meant in the internal sense, 1664. There were also in the Ancient Word 1 books that were entitled The Wars of Jehovah, as is clear in Moses, in Numbers 21:14-16. These, which were written in the prophetical style, possessed an internal sense and had as their subject the Lord's conflicts and temptations, and also the Church's conflicts and temptations, and those of members of the Church. This is evident from the fact that some things were selected by Moses from those books, as well as from other books of that Church which were called The Books of the Utterers of Prophecies, 2 referred to in Numbers 21:27-30, where almost the same words occur as in Jeremiah; compare Numbers 21:28 with Jeremiah 48:45. From this it may also be concluded that the Ancient Church had writings, historical and also prophetical, which were Divine and inspired and which in the internal sense had the Lord and His kingdom as their subject, and that for those people these writings were the Word as the historical and the prophetical books are for us, which in the sense of the letter have to do with the Jews and Israelites but in the internal sense with the Lord and with the things which are His.

[2] As in the Word, and also in the books of the Ancient Church, 'war' meant spiritual warfare, so all weapons such as the sword, spear, buckler, shield, arrows, shafts, and bows meant such things specifically as belong to the warfare that is meant in the spiritual sense. What is meant specifically by particular kinds of weapons will in the Lord's Divine mercy be stated elsewhere. Here the meaning of 'the bow', namely the doctrine of truth, will be shown, and how this meaning is derived from arrows, shafts, or darts, which mean the things of doctrine from which and with which those in particular who are spiritual fight, who in former times were therefore called 'archers'.

[3] That 'the bow' means the doctrine of truth becomes clear from the following places: In Isaiah,

The arrows of Jehovah are sharp, and all His bows are bent. His horses' hoofs are considered as flint, and His wheels as the whirlwind. Isaiah 5:28.

This refers to the truths of doctrine. 'arrows' are spiritual truths, 'bows' doctrine, 'horses' hoofs' natural truths, 'wheels' their doctrine. It is because such things are meant by them that those objects are attributed to Jehovah, to whom they cannot be attributed except in the spiritual sense, otherwise they would be words that are empty and not appropriate. In Jeremiah,

The Lord has bent His bow like an enemy, He has stood with His right hand like a foe, and has slain all things pleasant to the eye in the tent of the daughter of Zion, He has poured out His anger like fire. Lamentations 2:4.

'Bow' stands for the doctrine of truth, which is seen by those immersed in falsities as a foe and hostile. No other kind of bow can be spoken of in reference to the Lord. In Habakkuk,

O Jehovah, You ride on Your horses, Your chariots are salvation, Your bow will be made quite bare. Habakkuk 3:8-9.

Here also 'bow' means the doctrine of good and truth. In Moses,

The archers will exasperate him and shoot at him and hate him. He will sit in the strength of his bow, and the arms of his hands will be made strong by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob; from there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel. Genesis 49:23-24.

This refers to Joseph, 'bow' standing for the doctrine of good and truth.

[4] In John,

I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; to him a crown was given. Revelation 6:2.

'A white horse' stands for wisdom, 'he who sat on it' for the Word, as is made explicit in Revelation 19:13, where the white horse is referred to again. And because 'he who sat on it' is the Word it is clear that 'a bow' means the doctrine of truth. In Isaiah,

Who stirred up righteousness from the east, called him to be His follower, gave nations before Him, and caused Him to have dominion over kings? He made them as dust to His sword, as driven stubble to His bow. Isaiah 41:2.

This refers to the Lord, 'sword' standing for truth, 'bow' for doctrine derived from Him. In the same prophet,

I will set a sign among them, and I will send survivors from them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan. Isaiah 66:19.

'Those who draw the bow' stands for teachers of doctrine. For what Tarshish means, see 1156; Lud, 1195, 1231; Tubal, 1151; Javan, 1152, 1153, 1155.

[5] In Jeremiah, At the noise of the horseman and of him who wields the bow the whole city takes to flight. They have entered clouds and climbed up on rocks. The whole city has been forsaken. Jeremiah 4:29.

'The horseman' stands for those who declare the truth, 'the bow' for the doctrine of truth, which they flee from or fear who are immersed in falsities. In the same prophet,

Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about; O all you who bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrow, for she has sinned against Jehovah. Jeremiah 50:14, 29; 51:2-3.

Here 'those who shoot and bend the bow' stands for declarers and teachers of the doctrine of truth.

[6] In Zechariah,

I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow will be cut off, and He will speak peace to the nations. Zechariah 9:10.

'Ephraim' stands for the Church's understanding of truth, 'bow' for doctrine. In Samuel,

David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan, his son, and told [them] to teach the children of Judah the bow. 2 Samuel 1:17-18.

Here 'the bow' is not the subject but doctrinal matters regarding faith. In Ezekiel,

The Lord Jehovih has said, This is the day of which I have spoken, and those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out, and they will make fires of and burn the weapons, both shield and buckler, bow and arrows, both hand-staff and spear; and they will make a fire of them for seven years. Ezekiel 39:8-9.

The weapons mentioned here are all weapons for spiritual war. 'Bow and arrows' stands for doctrine and its truths. Furthermore when truths themselves separated from goods are represented visually in the next life they are seen as arrows.

[7] Just as 'the bow' means the doctrine of truth, so in the contrary sense it means the doctrine of falsity. In the Word things like these nearly always have a contrary sense, as stated and shown in various places; as in Jeremiah,

Behold, a people coming from the land in the north, and a mighty nation will be stirred up from the furthest parts of the earth. They lay hold on bow and spear; it is cruel and they will have no pity. Their voice will roar like the sea, they will ride upon horses, every one set in array as a man for battle, against you, O daughter of Zion! Jeremiah 6:22-23.

Here 'bow' stands for the doctrine of falsity. In the same prophet,

Behold, a people coming from the north, a mighty nation, and many kings will be stirred up from the furthest parts of the earth. They have hold of bow and spear; they are cruel and have no pity. Jeremiah 50:41-42.

Here the meaning is similar. In the same prophet,

They bend their tongue; their bow is a bow of lies and not used for truth. They grow strong in the land, for they have gone on from evil to evil and do not know Me. Jeremiah 9:2-3.

'A bow', it is quite evident, means the doctrine of falsity, for it is said that 'they bend their tongue, their bow is a bow of lies and not for truth'.

[8] In the same prophet,

Jehovah Zebaoth has said, Behold, I am breaking the bow of Elam, the chief of its might. Jeremiah 49:35.

In David,

Come, behold the works of Jehovah who makes desolations in the earth, making wars cease even to the end of the earth, He breaks the bow, shatters the spear, and burns the chariots 3 with fire. Psalms 46:8-9.

In the same author,

In Judah God is known, in Israel His name is great, and in Salem will His tabernacle be, and His dwelling-place in Zion. There He broke the bow's fiery darts, the shield and the sword, and war. Psalms 76:1-3.

In the same author;

Behold, the wicked bend the bow, they prepare their shafts upon the string to shoot in the darkness at the upright in heart. Psalms 11:2.

Here 'bow and shafts' plainly stands for matters of doctrine concerning falsity.
