1 At nang makita ng bayan na nagluluwat si Moises ng pagpanaog sa bundok, ay nagpipisan ang bayan kay Aaron, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Tumindig ka at igawa mo kami ng mga dios na mangunguna sa amin; sapagka't tungkol sa Moises na ito, na lalaking nagsampa sa amin mula sa lupain ng Egipto, ay hindi namin maalaman kung anong nangyari sa kaniya.

2 At sinabi ni Aaron sa kanila, Alisin ninyo ang mga hikaw na ginto, na nasa tainga ng inyo-inyong asawa, ng inyong mga anak na lalake, at babae, at dalhin ninyo sa akin.

3 At inalis ng buong bayan ang mga hikaw na ginto na nangasa kanilang mga tainga, at dinala kay Aaron.

4 At kaniyang tinanggap sa kanilang kamay, at niyari sa pamamagitan ng isang buril, at ginawang isang guyang binubo, at kanilang sinabi, Ang mga ito ang maging iyong mga dios, Oh Israel, na nagsampa sa iyo mula sa lupain ng Egipto.

5 At nang makita ito ni Aaron, ay nagtayo siya ng isang dambana sa harapan niyaon: at itinanyag ni Aaron at sinabi, Bukas ay pista sa Panginoon.

6 At sila'y bumangong maaga nang kinabukasan, at naghandog ng mga handog na susunugin, at nagdala ng mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan; at ang bayan ay umupong kumain at uminom, at tumindig upang magkatuwa.

7 At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, Yumaon ka, bumaba ka, sapagka't ang iyong bayan, na iyong isinampa mula sa lupain ng Egipto ay nangagsisama:

8 Sila'y humiwalay na madali sa daan na aking iniutos sa kanila: sila'y gumawa ng isang guyang binubo, at kanilang sinamba, at kanilang hinainan, at kanilang sinabi, Ang mga ito'y iyong maging mga dios, Oh Israel, na nagsampa sa iyo mula sa lupain ng Egipto.

9 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Aking nakita ang bayang ito, at, narito, isang bayang may matigas na ulo;

10 Ngayo'y bayaan mo nga ako upang ang aking pagiinit ay magalab laban sa kanila, at upang aking lipulin sila: at ikaw ay aking gagawing dakilang bansa.

11 At dumalangin si Moises sa Panginoon niyang Dios, at sinabi, Panginoon, bakit ang iyong pagiinit ay pinapagaalab mo laban sa iyong bayan, na iyong inilabas sa lupain ng Egipto sa pamamagitan ng dakilang kapangyarihan at ng makapangyarihang kamay?

12 Bakit sasalitain ng mga Egipcio, na sasabihin, Dahil sa kasamaan, inilabas sila upang patayin sila sa mga bundok, at upang lipulin sila sa balat ng lupa? Iurong mo ang iyong mabangis na pagiinit, at pagsisihan mo ang kasamaang ito laban sa iyong bayan.

13 Alalahanin mo si Abraham, si Isaac, at si Israel na iyong mga lingkod, na silang iyong mga sinumpaan sa iyong sarili, at mga pinagsabihan, Aking pararamihin ang inyong binhi na gaya ng mga bituin sa langit, at lahat ng lupaing ito na aking sinalita ay aking ibibigay sa inyong binhi, at kanilang mamanahin magpakailan man.

14 At pinagsisihan ng Panginoon ang kasamaan na kaniyang sinabing kaniyang gagawin sa kaniyang bayan.

15 At si Moises ay pumihit, at bumaba sa bundok, na dala ang dalawang tapyas ng patotoo sa kaniyang kamay; mga tapyas na may sulat sa dalawang mukha niyaon; sa isang mukha at sa kabilang mukha ay may sulat.

16 At ang mga tapyas ay gawa ng Dios, at ang sulat ay sulat ng Dios, na nakaukit sa mga tapyas.

17 At ng marinig ni Josue ang ingay ng bayan na humihiyaw, ay sinabi kay Moises, May ingay ng pagbabaka sa kampamento.

18 At kaniyang sinabi, Hindi ingay ng pagtatagumpay, o ingay man ng pagkatalo, kundi ingay ng mga umaawit ang aking naririnig.

19 At nangyari paglapit niya sa kampamento, na kaniyang nakita ang guya at ang sayawan; at ang galit ni Moises ay naginit at kaniyang inihagis ang mga tapyas na nasa kaniyang mga kamay at nangasira sa paanan ng bundok.

20 At kaniyang kinuha ang guya na kanilang ginawa, at sinunog ng apoy, at giniling hanggang sa naging alabok, at isinaboy sa ibabaw ng tubig, at ipinainom sa mga anak ni Israel.

21 At sinabi ni Moises kay Aaron, Anong ginawa ng bayang ito sa iyo, na dinalhan mo sila ng isang malaking sala?

22 At sinabi ni Aaron, Huwag maginit ang galit ng aking panginoon: iyong kilala ang bayan, na sila'y mahilig sa kasamaan.

23 Sapagka't kanilang sinabi sa akin, Igawa mo kami ng mga dios na mangunguna sa amin: sapagka't tungkol sa Moises na ito, na lalaking nagsampa sa amin mula sa lupain ng Egipto ay hindi namin maalaman kung anong nangyari sa kaniya.

24 At aking sinabi sa kanila, Sinomang may ginto, ay magalis; na anopa't kanilang ibinigay sa akin: at aking inihagis sa apoy at lumabas ang guyang ito.

25 At nang makita ni Moises na ang bayan ay nakakawala; sapagka't pinabayaan ni Aarong makawala ng maging isang kabiruan sa gitna ng kanilang mga kaaway:

26 Ay tumayo nga si Moises sa pintuang-daan ng kampamento, at nagsabi, Sinomang sa Panginoon ang kiling ay lumapit sa akin. At lahat ng mga anak ni Levi ay nagpipisan sa kaniya.

27 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel: Ipatong ng bawa't lalake ang kaniyang tabak sa kaniyang hita, at yumaon kayong paroo't parito sa mga pintuang-daan, sa buong kampamento, at patayin ng bawa't lalake ang kaniyang kapatid na lalake, at ng bawa't lalake ang kaniyang kasama, at ng bawa't lalake ang kaniyang kapuwa.

28 At ginawa ng mga anak ni Levi ang ayon sa salita ni Moises: at nabuwal sa bayan ng araw na yaon, ang may tatlong libong katao.

29 At sinabi ni Moises, Italaga ninyo ang inyong sarili ngayon sa Panginoon, oo, bawa't lalake laban sa kaniyang anak na lalake, at laban sa kaniyang kapatid na lalake, upang kaniyang ipagkaloob sa inyo ang pagpapala sa araw na ito.

30 At nangyari ng kinabukasan, na sinabi ni Moises sa bayan, Kayo'y nagkasala ng malaking kasalanan: at ngayo'y sasampahin ko ang Panginoon; marahil ay aking matutubos ang inyong kasalanan.

31 At bumalik si Moises sa Panginoon, at nagsabi, Oh, ang bayang ito'y nagkasala ng malaking kasalanan, at gumawa sila ng mga dios na ginto.

32 Gayon ma'y ngayon, kung iyong ipatatawad ang kanilang kasalanan; at kung hindi, ay alisin mo ako, isinasamo ko sa iyo, sa iyong aklat na sinulat mo.

33 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Ang magkasala laban sa akin ay siya kong aalisin sa aking aklat.

34 At ngayo'y yumaon ka, iyong patnubayan ang bayan sa dakong aking sinalita sa iyo: narito, ang aking anghel ay magpapauna sa iyo: gayon ma'y sa araw na aking dalawin sila ay aking dadalawin ang kanilang kasalanang ipinagkasala nila.

35 At sinaktan nga ng Panginoon ang bayan, sapagka't kanilang ginawa ang guya na ginawa ni Aaron.

Rise

  

It is common in the Bible for people to "rise up," and it would be easy to pass over the phrase as simply describing a physical action. But in fact it represents an elevation in spiritual state, moving to a more internal frame of mind closer to the Lord. Often it has to do with understanding a new or important idea; we "rise up" to a state of greater perception and enlightenment. Obviously context is crucial to the exact meaning of the phrase in a given passage -- it matters greatly who it is that is rising up, and why.

5319. 'And clothed him in robes of fine linen' means an outward sign denoting the celestial of the spiritual, 'robes of fine linen' being truths going forth from the Divine. This is clear from the meaning of 'robes' as truths, dealt with in 1073, 2576, 4545, 4763, 5248. The reason 'robes of fine linen' means truths going forth from the Divine is that a robe made of fine linen was absolutely white and at the same time shining, and truth going forth from the Divine is represented by robes which have that kind of brightness and splendour. And the reason for this is that heaven derives its brightness and splendour from the light that flows from the Lord; and the light that flows from the Lord is Divine Truth itself, 1053, 1521-1533, 1619-1632, 1776, 3195, 3222, 3339, 3485, 3636, 3643, 3862, 4415, 4419, 4526, 5219. This explains why, when the Lord was transfigured before Peter, James, and John, His clothing appeared as the light, Matthew 17:2; glistening, intensely white like snow, as no fuller on earth could bleach them, Mark 9:3; and dazzling, Luke 9:29. It was Divine Truth itself going forth from the Lord's Divine Human that was represented in this manner. But they are exterior truths that are represented in heaven by the brightness of robes, whereas interior truths are represented by the brightness and splendour of the face. This is why 'being clothed in robes of fine linen' at this point means an outward sign denoting truth going forth from the celestial of the spiritual, for this was what the Lord's Divine consisted in at this time.

[2] There are other places too in the Word where truth going forth from the Divine is meant by 'fine linen' and 'robes of fine linen', as in Ezekiel,

I clothed you with embroidered cloth, and shed you with badger, and swathed you in fine linen, and covered you in silk. Thus were you adorned with gold and silver, and your robes were fine linen, and silk, and embroidered cloth. Ezekiel 16:10, 13.

This refers to Jerusalem, which is used in these verses to mean the Ancient Church. The truths of this Church are described by robes made of embroidered cloth, fine linen, and silk, and by being adorned with gold and silver. 'Embroidered cloth' means truths existing as facts, 'fine linen' natural truths, and 'silk' spiritual truths.

[3] In the same prophet,

Fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt was your sail, that it might be to you an ensign; violet and purple from the islands of Elishah was your covering. Ezekiel 27:7.

This refers to Tyre, which too is used to mean the Ancient Church, but so far as cognitions of good and truth are concerned. 'Fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt, which was its sail' means truth obtained from factual knowledge, which was the outward sign of that Church.

[4] In John,

The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over Babylon, since no one buys their wares any more, wares of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel made of most precious wood, and bronze, and iron, and marble. Revelation 18:11-12.

All the specific commodities mentioned here mean the kinds of things that have to do with the Church and so truth and goodness. Here however they are used in the contrary sense because they are spoken of in reference to Babylon. Anyone may see that such commodities would never have been listed in the Word which has come down from heaven unless each one held something heavenly within it. What other reason can there be for a list of worldly wares when Babylon, meaning an unholy Church, is the subject? Similarly in the same book,

Woe, woe, the great city, you that were clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, covered 1 with gold, and precious stones, and pearls. Revelation 18:16.

[5] The fact that each commodity means something Divine and heavenly is quite evident in the same book where it states what fine linen is, namely the righteous acts of the saints,

The time of the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready. At that time she was given fine linen, clean and shining, to wear; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Revelation 19:7-8.

'Fine linen' is 'the righteous acts of the saints' for the reason that all those with whom truth received from the Divine exists are clothed with the Lord's righteousness. For their robes which are bright and shining are products of the light which flows from the Lord. Therefore in heaven truth itself is represented by 'brightness', 3301, 3997, 4007; and people who are being raised to heaven from a state of vastation are seen to be clothed with brightness because they are at this point casting off the robe of their own righteousness and putting on that of the Lord's righteousness.

[6] So that truth from the Divine might be represented in the Jewish Church, they were commanded to use cotton or fine linen in Aaron's vestments, and also in the curtains around the Ark, referred to in Moses as follows,

You shall make in chequered pattern for Aaron a tunic of cotton, and you shall make a turban of cotton. Exodus 28:39.

They made tunics of cotton, the work of a weaver, for Aaron and his sons. Exodus 39:27.

You shall make the Dwelling-place, ten curtains - fine-twined cotton, violet and purple and twice-dyed scarlet. Exodus 26:1; 36:8.

You shall make the court of the Dwelling-place. The hangings for the court shall be of fine-twined cotton. Exodus 27:9, 18; 38:9.

The screen for the gate of the court, the work of an embroiderer, violet and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine-twined cotton. Exodus 38:18.

Cotton is fine linen, which they were commanded to use because each object in the Ark and around the Ark, also every detail of Aaron's vestments, were representative of spiritual and celestial realities. From this one may see that a person has only a meagre understanding of the Word if he does not know what such things represent, and scarcely any understanding at all if he thinks that the Word possesses no holiness other than that which presents itself in the letter.

[7] When angels with whom truth from the Divine is present are seen by anyone they are clothed so to speak in fine linen, that is, in shining brightness, as is evident in John where 'a white horse' is referred to,

The One seated on a white horse was clothed in a garment dyed with blood, and His name is called the Word. His armies in heaven were following Him on white horses; they were clothed in fine linen, white and clean. Revelation 19:11, 13-14.

These words show quite plainly that 'fine linen' is an outward sign denoting truth from the Divine, for 'the One seated on a white horse' is the Lord as to the Word; indeed those words state quite explicitly that He is the Word. The Word is truth itself received from the Divine, and 'a white horse' is the internal sense of the Word, see 2760-2762. Consequently truths received from the Divine are meant by 'white horses', for such truths constitute the whole of the internal sense of the Word. This was why His armies were seen 'on white horses' and why 'they were clothed in fine linen, white and clean'.
