Exodus 33

Studio

   

1 Ja Issand ütles Moosesele: 'Mine, lahku siit, sina ja rahvas, kelle sa tõid Egiptusemaalt välja, maale, mille ma vandega olen tõotanud Aabrahamile, Iisakile ja Jaakobile, öeldes: Sinu soole ma annan selle!

2 Ma läkitan sinu eel ingli ja ajan ära kaananlased, emorlased, hetid, perislased, hiivlased ja jebuuslased,

3 et sa jõuaksid maale, mis piima ja mett voolab, sest mina ise ei lähe koos sinuga, et sind mitte hävitada teel, kuna sa oled kangekaelne rahvas.'

4 Kui rahvas kuulis seda kurja kõnet, siis nad leinasid ja ükski ei pannud enesele ehteid ümber.

5 Ja Issand ütles Moosesele: 'Ütle Iisraeli lastele: Te olete kangekaelne rahvas. Kui ma läheksin ühe silmapilgugi koos sinuga, peaksin sinu hävitama. Võta nüüd ära oma ehted, siis ma mõtlen, mis ma sinuga teen!'

6 Ja Iisraeli lapsed rebisidki endilt ehted Hoorebi mäe juurest lahkumisel.

7 Mooses aga võttis telgi ja püstitas selle väljapoole leeri, leerist kaugemale, ja nimetas selle kogudusetelgiks; ja igaüks, kes otsis Issandat, läks kogudusetelgi juurde, mis oli väljaspool leeri.

8 Iga kord, kui Mooses läks välja telgi juurde, tõusis kogu rahvas püsti ja igamees seisis oma telgi uksel ning vaatas Moosesele järele, kuni ta oli läinud telki.

9 Ja iga kord, kui Mooses oli läinud telki, laskus pilvesammas alla ning seisis telgi ukse kohal; ja ta kõneles Moosesega.

10 Ja kui kogu rahvas nägi pilvesammast seisvat telgi ukse kohal, siis kogu rahvas tõusis üles ja nad kummardasid igaüks oma telgi uksel.

11 Ja Issand kõneles Moosesega palgest palgesse, nagu räägiks mees oma sõbraga. Siis Mooses tuli tagasi leeri, aga tema teener Joosua, Nuuni poeg, noor mees, ei lahkunud telgist.

12 Ja Mooses ütles Issandale: 'Vaata, sa ütled mulle: Vii see rahvas sinna! Aga sa ei ole mulle teada andnud, keda sa koos minuga läkitad. Ometi oled sa ise öelnud: Ma tunnen sind nimepidi ja sa oled ka armu leidnud minu silmis.

13 Aga kui ma nüüd olen armu leidnud sinu silmis, siis õpeta mulle oma teed, et ma tunneksin sind ja leiaksin armu su silmis, sest vaata, see rahvas on sinu rahvas.'

14 Ta vastas: 'Minu pale läheb kaasa ja ma annan sulle rahu.'

15 Siis Mooses ütles temale: 'Kui su pale ei tule kaasa, siis ära vii meid siit ära!

16 Sest millest muidu tuntakse, et oleme armu leidnud sinu silmis, mina ja su rahvas, kui sellest, et sina käid koos meiega, nõnda et meie, mina ja su rahvas, erineme kogu rahvast, kes maa peal on?'

17 Ja Issand vastas Moosesele: 'Mina teengi nõnda, nagu oled soovinud, sest sa oled armu leidnud minu silmis ja ma tunnen sind nimepidi.'

18 Aga Mooses ütles: 'Näita siis mulle oma auhiilgust!'

19 Ja tema vastas: 'Ma lasen sinu eest mööduda kogu oma ilu ja kuulutan sinu ees Issanda nime. Ja ma olen armuline, kellele olen armuline, ja halastan, kelle peale halastan.'

20 Ja ta ütles veel: 'Sa ei tohi näha mu palet, sest ükski inimene ei või mind näha ja jääda elama!'

21 Siis ütles Issand: 'Vaata, siin mu juures on üks paik; astu selle kalju peale!

22 Kui mu auhiilgus möödub, siis ma panen sind kaljulõhesse ja katan sind oma käega, kuni ma olen möödunud.

23 Kui ma siis oma käe ära võtan, näed sa mind selja tagant, aga mu palet ei tohi keegi näha!'

432. Verse 5. Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.

"Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand," signifies love to the Lord, and that all who are in that love are in heaven, and come into heaven. "Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand," signifies the light of truth from that good, and that all who are in that light are in heaven, and come into heaven. "Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand," signifies the good of life thence.

6281. As regards the verb 'to redeem', its proper meaning is to restore to oneself and to take to oneself what was previously one's own; and it is used when slavery, death, or evil is involved. When it is slavery, people who have become slaves are meant, in the spiritual sense those enslaved to hell; when it is death, people in a state of damnation are meant; and when it is evil, as in the present context, people in hell are meant, since the evil from which the angel redeemed the speaker is hell, 6279. Because the Lord delivered mankind from those evils through having made the Human within Himself Divine, His Divine Human is the One in the Word who is called the Redeemer, as in Isaiah,

I am helping you, said Jehovah, and your Redeemer the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 41:14.

In the same prophet,

Thus said Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, His Holy One. Isaiah 49:7, 26.

In the same prophet,

Jehovah Zebaoth is His name, and your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, the God of the whole earth He will be called, Isaiah 54:5.

In these places a distinction is made between the Divine itself, called Jehovah, and the Divine Human, referred to as the Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

[2] Yet Jehovah Himself within His Divine Human is the Redeemer, as is clear from the following places: In Isaiah,

Thus said Jehovah the King of Israel, and his Redeemer Jehovah Zebaoth, I am the first and I am the last, and besides Me there is no God. Isaiah 44:6.

In the same prophet,

Thus said Jehovah your Redeemer, I am Jehovah your God, who is teaching you. Isaiah 48:17.

In the same prophet,

You are our Father, for Abraham does not know us and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O Jehovah, are our Father, our Redeemer; from of old is Your name. Isaiah 63:16.

In David,

Jehovah who has redeemed your 1 life from the pit. Psalms 103:4.

[3] From these places too it is evident that no one else but the Lord is meant in the Word by 'Jehovah', 1743, 1736, 2921, 3035, 5667, and that 'Jehovah the Redeemer' is His Divine Human. Here also is the reason why those who have been redeemed are called 'the Redeemed of Jehovah' in Isaiah,

Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your salvation comes; behold, His reward is with Him, and the recompense of His work before Him. They will call them, The Holy People, the Redeemed of Jehovah. Isaiah 62:11, 12.

It is quite plain that the Lord is the reason why they are called 'the Redeemed of Jehovah', for the words 'Behold, your salvation comes; behold, His reward is with Him' have reference to the Lord's Coming. See in addition Isaiah 43:1; 52:2-3; 63:4, 9; Hosea 13:14; Exodus 6:6; 15:13; Job 19:25, where it is evident that redemption has reference to slavery, death, and evil.

1. The Latin means my but the Hebrew means your, which Swedenborg has in another place where he quotes this verse.
