At sinabi ni Moises sa Panginoon, Tingnan mo, iyong sinasabi sa akin: Isampa mo ang bayang ito: at hindi mo ipinakilala sa akin kung sino yaong susuguin mo na kasama ko. Gayon ma'y iyong sinabi, Aking nakikilala ka sa pangalan, at ikaw rin naman ay nakasumpong ng biyaya sa aking paningin.
1
At yumakap si Jose sa mukha ng kaniyang ama, at umiyak sa ibabaw niya, at hinalikan niya siya.
2
At iniutos ni Jose sa kaniyang mga lingkod na manggagamot, na embalsamahin ang kaniyang ama: at inembalsama ng mga manggagamot si Israel.
3
At apat na pung araw ang ginanap sa kaniya; sapagka't gayon ginaganap ang mga araw ng pagembalsama; at tinangisan siya ng mga Egipcio ng pitong pung araw.
4
At nang makaraan ang mga araw ng pagiyak sa kaniya ay nagsalita si Jose sa sangbahayan ni Faraon, na sinasabi, Kung ngayo'y nakasumpong ako ng biyaya sa inyong mga mata ay salitain ninyo, isinasamo ko sa inyo, sa mga pakinig ni Faraon, na inyong sabihin,
5
Pinanumpa ako ng ama ko, na sinasabi, Narito, ako'y namamatay: sa libingan na aking hinukay sa akin sa lupain ng Canaan, ay doon mo ako ililibing. Ngayon nga'y pahintulutan ninyo akong umahon, isinasamo ko sa inyo, at aking ilibing ang aking ama, at babalik uli ako.
6
At sinabi ni Faraon, Umahon ka, at ilibing mo ang iyong ama, ayon sa kaniyang ipinasumpa sa iyo.
7
At umahon si Jose upang ilibing ang kaniyang ama: at kasama niyang umahon ang lahat ng lingkod ni Faraon, ang mga matanda sa kaniyang sangbahayan, at ang lahat na matanda sa lupain ng Egipto;
8
At ang buong sangbahayan ni Jose, at ang kaniyang mga kapatid, at ang sangbahayan ng kaniyang ama: ang kanila lamang mga bata, at ang kanilang mga kawan, at ang kanilang bakahan, ang iniwan nila sa lupain ng Gosen.
9
At umahong kasama niya ang mga karro at mga nangangabayo: at yao'y naging totoong malaking pulutong.
10
At sila'y dumating sa giikan ni Atad, na nasa dako pa roon ng Jordan, at doo'y nanaghoy sila ng malakas at kapaitpait na panaghoy: at kaniyang pinanangisan ang kaniyang ama na pitong araw.
11
At nang makita ng mga nananahan sa lupaing yaon, ng mga Cananeo, ang panaghoy sa giikan ni Atad, ay kanilang sinabi, Ito'y isang kahambalhambal na panaghoy ng mga Egipcio kaya't ang pangalang itinawag ay Abel-mizraim, nasa dako pa roon ng Jordan.
12
At ginawa sa kaniya ng kaniyang mga anak ang ayon sa iniutos sa kanila.
13
Sapagka't dinala siya ng kaniyang mga anak sa lupain ng Canaan, at inilibing siya sa yungib ng Machpela, na binili ni Abraham sangpu ng parang na pinakaaring libingan, kay Ephron na Hetheo, sa tapat ng Mamre.
14
At bumalik si Jose sa Egipto, siya, at ang kaniyang mga kapatid, at ang lahat na umahong kasama niya sa paglilibing sa kaniyang ama, pagkatapos na mailibing ang kaniyang ama.
15
At nang makita ng mga kapatid ni Jose, na ang kanilang ama'y namatay, ay kanilang sinabi, Marahil si Jose ay mapopoot sa atin, at lubos na gagantihin sa atin ang buong kasamaan na ating ginawa sa kaniya.
16
At ipinasabi nila kay Jose, Iniutos ng iyong ama bago namatay, na sinasabi,
17
Ganito sasabihin ninyo kay Jose. Ipatawad mo, isinasamo ko sa iyo ngayon, ang pagsalangsang ng iyong mga kapatid, at ang kanilang kasalanan; at ngayon, ay aming isinasamo sa iyo, na ipatawad mo ang mga pagsalangsang ng mga lingkod ng Dios ng iyong ama. At si Jose ay umiyak ng kanilang salitain sa kaniya.
18
At naparoon ang kaniyang mga kapatid naman at nagpatirapa sa harap niya; at kanilang sinabi, Narito, kaming iyong mga lingkod.
19
At sinabi ni Jose sa kanila, Huwag kayong matakot, sapagka't nasa kalagayan ba ako ng Dios?
20
At tungkol sa inyo ay inyong ipinalagay na kasamaan laban sa akin; nguni't ipinalagay ng Dios na kabutihan upang mangyari ang gaya sa araw na ito, na iligtas ang buhay ng maraming tao.
21
Kaya nga huwag kayong matakot: aking pakakanin kayo at ang inyong mga bata. At kaniyang inaliw sila at kaniyang pinagsalitaan sila na may kagandahang loob.
22
At si Jose ay tumahan sa Egipto, siya at ang sangbahayan ng kaniyang ama: at si Jose ay nabuhay na isang daan at sangpung taon.
23
At nakita ni Jose ang mga anak ni Ephraim hanggang sa ikatlong salin ng lahi; ang mga anak man ni Machir na anak ni Manases ay ipinanganak sa mga tuhod ni Jose.
24
At sinabi ni Jose sa kaniyang mga kapatid: Ako'y namamatay: nguni't tunay na dadalawin kayo ng Dios, at dadalhin kayo mula sa lupaing ito hanggang sa lupain na kaniyang isinumpa kay Abraham, kay Isaac at kay Jacob.
25
At ipinasumpa ni Jose sa mga anak ni Israel, na sinasabi, Tunay na dadalawin kayo ng Dios, at inyong iaahon ang aking mga buto mula rito.
26
Sa gayo'y namatay si Jose na may isang daan at sangpung taon: at kanilang inembalsama siya, at siya'y inilagay sa isang kabaong sa Egipto.
10393. Exodus 32
1. And the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain. And the people gathered together to Aaron, and said to him, Rise, make us gods to go before us; for this Moses, that man who caused us to come up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.
2. And Aaron said to them, Pull away the ear-jewels of gold which are on the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me.
3. And all the people pulled away the ear-jewels of gold which were on their ears, and brought them to Aaron.
4. And he received [the gold] from their hands, and fashioned it with a chisel, and made out of it a calf of molded [metal]; and they said, These are your gods, O Israel, who caused you to come up out of the land of Egypt.
5. And Aaron saw it and built an altar in front of it, and Aaron made a proclamation and said, Tomorrow there will be a feast to Jehovah 1 .
6. And they rose up in the morning of the next day, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
7. And Jehovah spoke to Moses, Go! go down; for your people have corrupted themselves, whom you caused to come up out of the land of Egypt.
8. They have suddenly departed from the way which I have commanded them; they have made for themselves a calf of molded [metal], and worshipped it, and sacrificed to it, and said, These are your gods, O Israel, who caused you to come up out of the land of Egypt.
9. And Jehovah said to Moses, I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people.
10. And you, let Me alone, and let My anger grow hot against them, and let Me consume them; and let Me make you into a great nation.
11. And Moses entreated the face of 2 Jehovah his God, and said, Why, O Jehovah, does Your anger grow hot against Your people, whom You have led out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a strong hand?
12. Why should the Egyptians speak, saying, For evil He led them out, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from upon the face of the earth? Turn back from the heat of Your anger, and repent 3 of the evil against Your people.
13. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants, to whom You swore by Yourself, and spoke to them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens; and all this land which I have spoken of I will give to your seed, and they will inherit it into the age 4 .
14. And Jehovah repented 3 of the evil which He said He would do to His people.
15. And Moses looked back and went down from the mountain, and the two tablets of the Testimony were in his hand; the tablets were written on across them both, from the edge of one and from the edge of the other they were written on 5 .
16. And the tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.
17. And Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted 6 , and he said to Moses, There is the noise of war in the camp.
18. And he said, It is not the noise of the cry in victory, and it is not the noise of the cry in defeat; the noise of a wretched cry I hear.
19. And it happened, as he came near the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dances; and Moses grew hot with anger, and threw the tablets out of his hand and broke them beneath the mountain.
20. And he took the calf which they had made, and burned it in the fire, and ground it up till it was powder, and sprinkled it on the face of the water, and made the children of Israel drink it.
21. And Moses said to Aaron, What did this people do to you that you have brought so great a sin upon them?
22. And Aaron said, Do not let your anger grow hot, O my lord; you know the people, that they [are set] on evil.
23. And they said to me, Make us gods to go before us; for this Moses, that man who caused us to come up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.
24. And I said to them, Whoever has gold, pull it away; and they gave it to me, and I threw it into the fire, and this calf came out.
25. And Moses saw that the people had become undisciplined; for Aaron had caused them to become so undisciplined that those rising up against them would annihilate them 7 .
26. And Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Whoever is for Jehovah, [come] to me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves to him.
27. And he said to them, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel, Put everyone his sword on his thigh; go to and fro 8 from gate to gate in the camp, and kill [every] man his brother, and [every] man his companion, and [every] man his neighbour.
28. And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses; and there fell of the people on that day up to three thousand men.
29. And Moses said, Fill your hand 9 today to Jehovah (for [every] man has been against his son and against his brother), so that He may bestow a blessing on you today.
30. And it happened on the next day, that Moses said to the people, You have committed a great sin. And now I shall go up to Jehovah; perhaps I shall make expiation for your sin.
31. And Moses returned to Jehovah and said, I implore You; this people has committed a great sin, and they have made gods of gold for themselves.
32. And now, if You forgive their sin - and if not, blot me out, I beg You, from Your book which You have written.
33. And Jehovah said to Moses, The one who has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book.
34. And now, go! lead the people to what I have spoken of to you. Behold, My angel will go before you; and on the day of My visitation I will visit their sin upon them 10 .
35. And Jehovah struck the people because they made the calf which Aaron made.
CONTENTS
The internal sense in this chapter shows that no Church could be established among the Israelite people because their whole interest lay in external things and not in anything internal; and to prevent them from profaning the holy things of heaven and the Church their interiors were completely closed off. The fact that this people's whole interest lay in external things and not in anything internal is meant by the golden calf which they worshipped instead of Jehovah. And the complete closing off of their interiors to prevent them from profaning the holy things of heaven and the Church is meant by Moses' breaking the tablets containing the law, by his grinding up the golden calf, sprinkling the powder on the water, and giving it to them to drink, and also by the killing in the camp by the sons of Levi of up to three thousand men.
