2 Mózes 24

1 És monda Mózesnek: Jõjj fel az Úrhoz te és Áron, Nádáb és Abihu, és az Izráel vénei közül hetvenen, és hajtsátok meg magatokat [elõtte] távolról.

2 És csak Mózes közeledjék az Úrhoz, amazok pedig ne közeledjenek, és a nép se jõjjön fel vele.

3 Elméne azért Mózes, és elbeszélé a népnek az Úr minden beszédét és minden rendelését; az egész nép pedig egyezõ szóval felele, mondván: Mindazokat a dolgokat, a melyeket az Úr parancsolt, megcselekeszszük.

4 Mózes pedig felírá az Úrnak minden beszédét, és felkele reggel és oltárt építe a hegy alatt, és tizenkét oszlopot, az Izráel tizenkét nemzetsége szerint.

5 Azután elküldé az Izráel fiainak ifjait, és áldozának égõ áldozatokat, és hálaáldozatul tulkokat ölének az Úrnak.

6 Mózes pedig vevé a vérnek felét, és tölté a medenczékbe: a vérnek másik felét pedig az oltárra hinté.

7 Azután vevé a szövetség könyvét, és elolvasá a nép hallatára; azok pedig mondának: Mindent megteszünk, a mit az Úr parancsolt, és engedelmeskedünk.

8 Mózes pedig vevé a vért, és ráhinté a népre, és monda: Ímé a szövetségnek vére, melyet az Úr kötött ti veletek, mindama beszédek szerint.

9 Azután felméne Mózes és Áron, Nádáb és Abihu, és az Izráel vénei közül hetvenen;

10 És láták az Izráel Istenét, és annak lábai alatt valami zafir fényû tárgy vala, és olyan tiszta, mint maga az ég.

11 És Izráel fiainak [e] választottjaira nem bocsátá kezét: jóllehet látták az Istent, mindazáltal ettek és ittak is.

12 És szóla az Úr Mózesnek: Jõjj fel én hozzám a hegyre és maradj ott. És átadom néked a kõtáblákat, és a törvényt és a parancsolatot, a melyeket írtam, hogy azokra megtaníttassanak.

13 Felkele azért Mózes és az õ szolgája Józsué, és felméne Mózes az Isten hegyére.

14 A véneknek pedig monda: Várjatok itt reánk, míg visszatérünk hozzátok: Ímé Áron és Húr veletek [vannak]; a kinek valami ügye van, õ hozzájok menjen.

15 Akkor felméne Mózes a hegyre; és felhõ borítá el a hegyet.

16 És az Úr dicsõsége szálla alá a Sinai hegyre, és felhõ borítá azt hat napon át; a hetedik napon pedig szólítá Mózest a felhõ közepébõl.

17 Az Úr dicsõségének jelensége pedig olyan vala az Izráel fiainak szeme elõtt, mint emésztõ tûz, a hegy tetején.

18 És beméne Mózes a felhõ közepébe, és felméne a hegyre, és negyven nap és negyven éjjel vala Mózes a hegyen.

9397. 'And read it in the ears of the people' means to be listened to and obeyed. This is clear from the meaning of 'reading' as to be listened to, for when something is read, it is in order that it may be heard, discerned, and obeyed, that is, listened to; and from the meaning of 'in the ears' as to be obeyed, for 'the ears' and 'hearing' mean obeying, 2542, 3869, 4551, 4652-4660, 5471, 5475, 7216, 8361, 8990, 9311.

[2] Since not only hearing and discerning are meant by 'the ears' but also obeying, expressions such as 'speak in their ears' and 'read in their ears' are used very often in the Word, not speak or read to them, as in Jeremiah,

Hear these words which I speak in your ears and in the ears of all the people. Jeremiah 28:7.

In the first Book of Samuel,

They spoke those words in the ears of the people. 1 Samuel 11:4.

And elsewhere in that book,

Let your maidservant speak in your ears. 1 Samuel 25:24.

In the Book of Judges,

Proclaim in the ears of the people, saying ... Judges 7:3.

In Moses,

Say in the ears of the people. Exodus 11:2.

In the same author,

Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgements which I speak in your ears today. Deuteronomy 5:1.

In the same author,

I speak in their ears these words. Deuteronomy 31:28.

In the same author,

And Moses spoke all the words of the song in the ears of the people. Deuteronomy 32:44.

In the second Book of Kings,

He read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant. 2 Kings 23:2.

In Jeremiah,

They said to him, Sit and read it in our ears. And Baruch read it in their ears. Jeremiah 36:15.

In Luke,

When Jesus had finished all the words in the people's ears ... Luke 7:1.

[3] Because 'the ear' and 'hearing' mean receiving, discerning, and obeying truth, thus mean belief from start to finish, it was said many times by the Lord, He who has an ear to hear, let him hear, as in Matthew 11:15; 13:9, 43; Mark 4:9, 23; 7:16; Luke 14:35. And since 'the deaf' or 'those who do not hear' mean in the spiritual sense people with no belief in the truth because they have no knowledge nor consequently any discernment of it, 6989, 9209, the Lord, when He cured the one who was deaf, put His finger into his ears and said, Ephphatha (that is, Be opened), and immediately his ears were opened, Mark 7:32-35. All the Lord's miracles involved and were signs of states of the Church, see 8364, 9086.

8778. 'And Moses brought back the people's words to Jehovah' means correspondence and being joined together. This is clear from the meaning of 'bringing words back to Jehovah' as correspondence and consequently being joined together. For the subject is the covenant that is to be made with the people; and since covenants are made through agreement on both sides, something that resembles the making of a covenant takes place here. That is to say, Jehovah proposes and the people respond, at this point through Moses, who represents the truth from God when it has been joined to Divine Truth as it exists in heaven, 8760, which is intermediary. But the only way that the covenant is made with mankind is through being receptive of the influx of truth from the Divine, and through correspondence at that time; for when higher things flow into lower they are not received in any other way.

[2] What correspondence and receptivity through correspondence are becomes clear from what has been shown at the ends of quite a number of chapters regarding the correspondence of all things present in the human being with the things that exist in heaven. It has also been shown in those places that all joining of natural things to spiritual ones, and in general of lower things to higher ones, is accomplished through correspondence. Such correspondence does not exist unless the lower things are placed in subordinate positions and made subject to the higher ones; and when the lower have been made subject, the higher ones act on them altogether as a cause does on its effect. From all this one may see what reciprocity on man's side is when the Divine flows in, and what the consequent joining together is, which is described in the sense of the letter here by the method used to make covenants, which is that Jehovah speaks to the people through a messenger, and the messenger brings their reply back to Jehovah. For this is how a person can grasp the concept of being joined to the Divine.
