何西阿书 2

Study

   

1 你们要称你们的弟兄为阿米(就是我民的意思),称你们的姊妹为路哈玛(就是蒙怜悯的意思)。

2 你们要与你们的母亲大大争辩;因为她不是我的妻子,我也不是她的丈夫。叫她除掉脸上的淫像和胸间的淫态,

3 免得我剥她的衣服,使她赤体,与才生的时候一样,使她如旷野,如乾旱之,因渴而

4 我必不怜悯她的儿女,因为他们是从淫乱而生的。

5 他们的母亲行了淫乱,怀他们的母做了可羞耻的事,因为她:我要随从所的;我的饼、、羊毛、麻、、酒都是他们的。

6 因此,我必用荆棘堵塞她的道,筑挡住她,使她不着

7 她必追随所的,却追不上;她必寻找他们,却寻不见,便:我要归回前夫,因我那时的光景比如今还好。

8 她不知道是我她五谷、新酒,和油,又加增她的;她却以此供奉(或译:制造)巴力。

9 因此到了收割的日子,出酒的时候,我必将我的五谷新酒收回,也必将她应当遮体的羊毛和麻夺回来

10 如今我必在她所的眼前显露她的丑态;必无能救她脱离我的

11 我也必使她的宴乐、节期、朔、安息日,并她的一切大会都止息了。

12 我也必毁坏她的葡萄树和无花果树,就是她这是我所我为赏赐的。我必使这些树变为荒林,为田野的走兽所

13 我必追讨她素日给诸巴力烧香的罪;那时她佩带耳环和别样妆饰,随从她所的,却忘记我。这是耶和华的。

14 後来我必劝导她,领她到旷野,对她安慰的话。

15 她从那里出来,我必赐她葡萄园,又赐她亚割作为指望的。她必在那里应声(或译:歌唱),与幼年的日子一样,与从埃及上来的时候相同。

16 耶和华:那日你必称呼我伊施(就是我夫的意思),不再称呼我巴力(就是我主的意思);

17 因为我必从我民的中除掉诸巴力的名号,这名号不再提起。

18 当那日,我必为我的民,与田野的走兽和空中的飞,并上的昆虫立约;又必在国中折断刀,止息争战,使他们安然躺卧。

19 我必聘你永远归我为妻,以仁、公平、慈爱、怜悯聘你归我;

20 也以诚实聘你归我,你就必认识我─耶和华

21 耶和华:那日我必应允,我必应允必应允

22 必应允五谷、新酒,和油,这些必应允耶斯列民。〔耶斯列就是神栽种的意思〕

23 我必将她种在这。素不蒙怜悯的,我必怜悯;本非我民的,我必对他:你是我的民;他必:你是我的

Silver

  

'Silver' signifies spiritual good or truth from a celestial origin. It also represents the truth of faith, or the truth acquired from self-hood, or proprium. 'Silver' means scientific truth. In Genesis 20:16, it signifies rational truth. 'A piece of silver' signifies a truth, or a knowledge of truth. In the internal sense of the Word, it signifies truth, but also falsity.

Exodus 20

Study

   

1 God spoke all these words, saying,

2 "I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 "You shall have no other gods before me.

4 "You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

5 you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me,

6 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

7 "You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain, for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.

8 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

9 You shall labor six days, and do all your work,

10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates;

11 for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.

12 "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.

13 "You shall not murder.

14 "You shall not commit adultery.

15 "You shall not steal.

16 "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

17 "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's."

18 All the people perceived the thunderings, the lightnings, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled, and stayed at a distance.

19 They said to Moses, "Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but don't let God Speak with us, lest we die."

20 Moses said to the people, "Don't be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won't sin."

21 The people stayed at a distance, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.

22 Yahweh said to Moses, "This is what you shall tell the children of Israel: 'You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

23 You shall most certainly not make alongside of me gods of silver, or gods of gold for yourselves.

24 You shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will bless you.

25 If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it.

26 Neither shall you go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.'
