Exodus 20

Სწავლა

   

1 Ja Jumal kõneles kõik need sõnad, öeldes:

2 'Mina olen Issand, sinu Jumal, kes sind tõi välja Egiptusemaalt, orjusekojast.

3 Sul ei tohi olla muid jumalaid minu palge kõrval!

4 Sa ei tohi enesele teha kuju ega mingisugust pilti sellest, mis on ülal taevas, ega sellest, mis on all maa peal, ega sellest, mis on maa all vees!

5 Sa ei tohi neid kummardada ega neid teenida, sest mina, Issand, sinu Jumal, olen püha vihaga Jumal, kes vanemate süü nuhtleb laste kätte kolmanda ja neljanda põlveni neile, kes mind vihkavad,

6 aga kes heldust osutab tuhandeile neile, kes mind armastavad ja mu käske peavad!

7 Sa ei tohi Issanda, oma Jumala nime asjata suhu võtta, sest Issand ei jäta seda nuhtlemata, kes tema nime asjata suhu võtab!

8 Pea meeles, et sa pead hingamispäeva pühitsema!

9 Kuus päeva tee tööd ja toimeta kõiki oma talitusi,

10 aga seitsmes päev on Issanda, sinu Jumala hingamispäev. Siis sa ei tohi toimetada ühtegi talitust, ei sa ise ega su poeg ja tütar, ega su sulane ja teenija, ega su veoloom ega võõras, kes su väravais on!

11 Sest kuue päevaga tegi Issand taeva ja maa, mere ja kõik, mis neis on, ja ta hingas seitsmendal päeval: seepärast Issand õnnistas hingamispäeva ja pühitses selle.

12 Sa pead oma isa ja ema austama, et su elupäevi pikendataks sellel maal, mille Issand, su Jumal, sulle annab!

13 Sa ei tohi tappa!

14 Sa ei tohi abielu rikkuda!

15 Sa ei tohi varastada!

16 Sa ei tohi tunnistada oma ligimese vastu valetunnistajana!

17 Sa ei tohi himustada oma ligimese koda! Sa ei tohi himustada oma ligimese naist, sulast ega teenijat, härga ega eeslit ega midagi, mis su ligimese päralt on!'

18 Ja kogu rahvas kuulis ja nägi müristamist, tuleleeke, sarvehäält ja mäe suitsemist. Kui rahvas seda nägi, siis ta vabises ja jäi eemale seisma.

19 Ja nad ütlesid Moosesele: 'Räägi sina meiega, siis me kuulame! Ainult ärgu Jumal meiega rääkigu, et me ei sureks!'

20 Aga Mooses vastas rahvale: 'Ärge kartke, sest Jumal on tulnud teid katsuma, et teil oleks tema kartus silme ees, selleks et te pattu ei teeks!'

21 Ja rahvas püsis eemal; aga Mooses ligines pimedusele, kus oli Jumal.

22 Ja Issand ütles Moosesele: 'Ütle Iisraeli lastele nõnda: Te nägite, et ma taevast teiega rääkisin.

23 Minu kõrvale ei tohi te midagi teha: te ei tohi enestele teha hõbe- ja kuldjumalaid!

24 Tee mulle mullast altar ja ohverda selle peal oma põletus- ja tänuohvreid, oma lambaid, kitsi ja veiseid! Kõigis paigus, kus ma käsin oma nime kuulutada, tulen ma sinu juurde ja õnnistan sind.

25 Aga kui sa teed mulle kivialtari, siis ära ehita seda tahutud kividest, sest peitliga raiudes sa rüvetad selle!

26 Ja ära astu mu altari juurde üles astmeid mööda, et su ihu selle ees ei paljastuks!

8940. 'And if you make for Me an altar of stones' means a representative kind of worship in general that is composed of truths. This is clear from the meaning of 'an altar' as a representative of Divine worship in general, dealt with in 921, 2777, 2811, 4489; and from the meaning of 'stones' as truths, dealt with in 643, 1298, 3720, 3769, 3771, 3773, 3789, 3798, 6426, 8609. There is worship of the Lord that springs from good, and there is worship of Him that springs from truth. Worship of the Lord springing from good was represented by an altar of soil, and worship springing from truth by an altar of stone. Regarding the first and the second kinds of worship, see above in 8935. It was because an altar of stone was a sign of worship springing from truth that they were commanded to set up such an altar as soon as they crossed the Jordan and came into the land of Canaan, and to write on it the Commandments contained in the Law, that is, God's truths from heaven. For by the Ten Commandments are meant all God's truths in summary form. That altar is spoken of in Moses as follows,

When you cross the Jordan you shall set up for yourself large stones, and coat them with lime. Then you shall write on them all the words of the Law. Afterwards, you shall build there an altar to Jehovah your God, an altar of stones, which you shall not hew with any iron tool. 1 With whole stones you shall build the altar of Jehovah your God, and present 2 on it burnt offerings and eucharistic offerings. And you shall write on the stones of the altar the words of the Law, expressing them very plainly. Deuteronomy 27:1-8; Joshua 8:30-32.

[2] The reason why they were to write the words of the Law on stones of the altar was that truths were meant by 'stones', and worship that springs from truths by 'an altar of stones'. This was also the reason why the Ten Commandments, which were a sign of Divine Truths in their entirety, were inscribed on tablets of stone. The reason why it had to be done as soon as they crossed the Jordan was that the Jordan, which was the first and outermost boundary of the land of Canaan on the side where the wilderness lay, meant introduction into the Church or heaven, which is accomplished through cognitions or knowledge of truth and good, thus through truths from the Word, 4255. For all the rivers serving as boundaries of that land meant the first and outermost reaches of the Lord's kingdom, 4116, 4240. By 'the stones of the altar' the truths of faith are also meant in Isaiah,

He will remove sin when He makes all the stones of the altar like chalk-stones scattered about. Isaiah 27:9

This refers to the ruination of the Church. 'The stones of the altar like chalk-stones scattered about' stands for the truths of faith that inspire worship after something similar has happened to them. As regards altars in general, they were made out of soil, stones, bronze, wood, and also gold - out of bronze, wood, and gold because these materials served to mean good. For an altar of bronze, see Ezekiel 9:2; for an altar of wood, Ezekiel 41:22; and for an altar of gold, which was the altar of incense, 1 Kings 6:22; 7:48; Revelation 8:3. That 'bronze' means good, see 425, 1551; that 'wood' does so, 643, 2784, 2812, 3720, 8354; and that 'gold' does so as well, 113, 1551, 1552, 5658.
