Deutéronome 10

Სწავლა

   

1 En ce temps-là, l'Eternel me dit: Taille deux tables de pierre comme les premières, et monte vers moi sur la montagne; tu feras aussi une arche de bois.

2 J'écrirai sur ces tables les paroles qui étaient sur les premières tables que tu as brisées, et tu les mettras dans l'arche.

3 Je fis une arche de bois d'acacia, je taillai deux tables de pierre comme les premières, et je montai sur la montagne, les deux tables dans ma main.

4 L'Eternel écrivit sur les tables ce qui avait été écrit sur les premières, les dix paroles qu'il vous avait dites sur la montagne, du milieu du feu, le jour de l'assemblée; et L'Eternel me les donna.

5 Je retournai et je descendis de la montagne, je mis les tables dans l'arche que j'avais faite, et elles restèrent là, comme l'Eternel me l'avait ordonné.

6 Les enfants d'Israël partirent de Beéroth-Bené Jaakan pour Moséra. C'est là que mourut Aaron, et qu'il fut enterré; Eléazar, son fils, lui succéda dans le sacerdoce.

7 Ils partirent de là pour Gudgoda, et de Gudgoda pour Jothbatha, pays où il y a des cours d'eaux.

8 En ce temps-là, l'Eternel sépara la tribu de Lévi, et lui ordonna de porter l'arche de l'alliance de l'Eternel, de se tenir devant l'Eternel pour le servir, et de bénir le peuple en son nom: ce qu'elle a fait jusqu'à ce jour.

9 C'est pourquoi Lévi n'a ni part ni héritage avec ses frères: l'Eternel est son héritage, comme l'Eternel, ton Dieu, le lui a dit.

10 Je restai sur la montagne, comme précédemment, quarante jours et quarante nuits. L'Eternel m'exauça encore cette fois; L'Eternel ne voulut pas te détruire.

11 L'Eternel me dit: Lève-toi, va, marche à la tête du peuple. Qu'ils aillent prendre possession du pays que j'ai juré à leurs pères de leur donner.

12 Maintenant, Israël, que demande de toi l'Eternel, ton Dieu, si ce n'est que tu craignes l'Eternel, ton Dieu, afin de marcher dans toutes ses voies, d'aimer et de servir l'Eternel, ton Dieu, de tout ton coeur et de toute ton âme;

13 si ce n'est que tu observes les commandements de l'Eternel et ses lois que je te prescris aujourd'hui, afin que tu sois heureux?

14 Voici, à l'Eternel, ton Dieu, appartiennent les cieux et les cieux des cieux, la terre et tout ce qu'elle renferme.

15 Et c'est à tes pères seulement que l'Eternel s'est attaché pour les aimer; et, après eux, c'est leur postérité, c'est vous qu'il a choisis d'entre tous les peuples, comme vous le voyez aujourd'hui.

16 Vous circoncirez donc votre coeur, et vous ne roidirez plus votre cou.

17 Car l'Eternel, votre Dieu, est le Dieu des dieux, le Seigneur des seigneurs, le Dieu grand, fort et terrible, qui ne fait point acception des personnes et qui ne reçoit point de présent,

18 qui fait droit à l'orphelin et à la veuve, qui aime l'étranger et lui donne de la nourriture et des vêtements.

19 Vous aimerez l'étranger, car vous avez été étrangers dans le pays d'Egypte.

20 Tu craindras l'Eternel, ton Dieu, tu le serviras, tu t'attacheras à lui, et tu jureras par son nom.

21 Il est ta gloire, il est ton Dieu: c'est lui qui a fait au milieu de toi ces choses grandes et terribles que tes yeux ont vues.

22 Tes pères descendirent en Egypte au nombre de soixante-dix personnes; et maintenant l'Eternel, ton Dieu, a fait de toi une multitude pareille aux étoiles des cieux.

9416. 'And I will give you tablets of stone' means the book of the law, or the Word in its entirety. This is clear from the meaning of 'tablets' as objects on which matters of doctrine and life have been inscribed, in this instance matters of heavenly doctrine and of life in keeping with it. The reason why those tablets mean the book of the law or the Word in its entirety is that the things which had been inscribed on them contained in a general way all matters of life and of that heavenly doctrine. This also explains why the things inscribed on them are called the ten words, Exodus 34:28; Deuteronomy 10:4. For 'ten' in the internal sense means all, and 'words' means truths that are matters of doctrine and forms of good that are matters of life. For the meaning of 'ten' as all, see 3107, 4638, 8468, 8540, and for that of 'words' as truths and forms of good that are matters of life and doctrine, 1288, 4692, 5272. This is why those tablets mean the Word in its entirety, just as the Law does, which in a restricted sense means the things which had been inscribed on those tablets, in a less restricted sense the Word that was written through Moses, in a broad sense the historical section of the Word, and in the broadest sense the Word in its entirety, see what has been shown in 6752. Furthermore the things which had been inscribed on those tablets belonged to the first stage in the revelation of Divine Truth; they were also declared in actual words uttered by the Lord before all the Israelite people. What belongs to the first stage means all the rest in their proper order; and the fact that those things were declared in actual words uttered by the Lord means direct Divine inspiration in all other stages of revelation as well. The reason why those tablets were made of stone was that 'stone' means truth, 643, 1298, 3720, 6426, the lowest levels of truth, to be exact, 8609. The lowest levels of God's truth constitute the letter of the Word as it exists on this planet, 9360.

[2] There was not one tablet but two, to represent the joining of the Lord to the Church through the Word, and through the Church to the human race. This also is why they are called the tablets of the covenant, Deuteronomy 9:9, 11, 15, and why the words inscribed on them are called the words of the covenant, Exodus 34:27-28, also the covenant, Deuteronomy 4:13, 23. And the ark itself in which the tablets had been deposited was called the ark of the covenant, Numbers 10:33; 14:44; Deuteronomy 10:8; 31:9, 25-26; Joshua 3:3, 6, 8, 11, 14, 17; 4:7, 9, 18; 6:6, 8; 8:33; Judges 20:27; 1 Samuel 4:3-5; 2 Samuel 15:24; 1 Kings 3:15; 6:19; 8:1, 6; Jeremiah 3:16. For a covenant is a joining together, 665, 666, 1023, 1038, 1864, 1996, 2003, 2021, 6804, 8767, 8778, 9396. This explains why those tablets were divided from each other yet were joined together by being laid alongside each other. The writing on them ran across continuously from one tablet onto the other, like the writing on a single tablet. It was not, as people ordinarily think, that some commandments were written on one tablet and some on the other. For a single object divided in two, and the two parts then brought together or given each to the other, means the Lord and man joined together. The establishment of covenants was therefore accomplished in similar ways, that with Abraham for example by parting down the middle a heifer, she-goat, and ram, and laying each part opposite the other, Genesis 15:9-12; in verses 6 and 8 of the present chapter by putting blood in bowls and then sprinkling it half over the altar and half over the people; and generally in all sacrifices by burning one part on the altar and giving the other part to the people to eat. The like was also represented by the Lord when He broke bread, Matthew 14:19; 15:36; 26:26; Mark 6:41; 8:6; 14:22; Luke 9:16; 22:19; 24:30-31, 35. Here also is the reason why 'two' in the Word means things joined together, 5194, 8423, here the Lord and heaven, or the Lord and the Church, joined together, thus also goodness and truth joined together, which is called the heavenly marriage. From all this it becomes clear why it is that there were two tablets and that both sides of them were written on, from edge to edge, Exodus 32:15-16.

[3] Furthermore when the writing and engraving on tablets is mentioned in the Word it means those things that must be imprinted in people's memory and on their life, and so remain there, as in Isaiah,

Write it on a tablet among them, and express it in a book, 1 so that it may be for time to come forever, even to eternity. Isaiah 30:8.

In Jeremiah,

The sin of Judah has been written with a pen of iron; with a point of diamond it has been engraved on the tablet of their heart, and at the horns of your altars. Jeremiah 17:1.

In Habakkuk,

Jehovah said, Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that one running by may read it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; if it tarries, wait for it, because it will surely come. Habakkuk 2:2-3.
