2 Mose 20

പഠനം

   

1 Und Gott redete alle diese Worte:

2 Ich bin der HERR, dein Gott, der ich dich aus Ägyptenland, aus dem Diensthause, geführet habe.

3 Du sollst keine andern Götter neben mir haben.

4 Du sollst dir kein Bildnis noch irgend ein Gleichnis machen weder des, das oben im Himmel, noch des, das unten auf Erden, oder des, das im Wasser unter der Erde ist.

5 Bete sie nicht an und diene ihnen nicht. Denn ich, der HERR, dein Gott, bin ein eifriger Gott, der da heimsuchet der Väter Missetat an den Kindern bis in das dritte und vierte Glied, die mich hassen,

6 und tue Barmherzigkeit an vielen Tausenden, die mich liebhaben und meine Gebote halten.

7 Du sollst den Namen des HERRN, deines Gottes, nicht mißbrauchen; denn der HERR wird den nicht ungestraft lassen, der seinen Namen mißbraucht.

8 Gedenke des Sabbattages, daß du ihn heiligest.

9 Sechs Tage sollst du arbeiten und alle deine Dinge beschicken;

10 aber am siebenten Tage ist der Sabbat des HERRN, deines Gottes. Da sollst du kein Werk tun, noch dein Sohn, noch deine Tochter, noch dein Knecht, noch deine Magd, noch dein Vieh, noch dein Fremdling, der in deinen Toren ist.

11 Denn in sechs Tagen hat der HERR Himmel und Erde gemacht und das Meer und alles, was drinnen ist, und ruhete am siebenten Tage. Darum segnete der HERR den Sabbattag und heiligte ihn.

12 Du sollst deinen Vater und deine Mutter ehren, auf daß du lange lebest im Lande, das dir der HERR, dein Gott gibt.

13 Du sollst nicht töten.

14 Du sollst nicht ehebrechen.

15 Du sollst nicht stehlen.

16 Du sollst kein falsch Zeugnis reden wider deinen Nächsten.

17 Laß dich nicht gelüsten deines Nächsten Hauses. Laß dich nicht gelüsten deines Nächsten Weibes, noch seines Knechts, noch seiner Magd, noch seines Ochsen, noch seines Esels, noch alles, das dein Nächster hat.

18 Und alles Volk sah den Donner und Blitz und den Ton der Posaune und den Berg rauchen. Da sie aber solches sahen, flohen sie und traten von ferne;

19 und sprachen zu Mose: Rede du mit uns, wir wollen gehorchen, und laß Gott nicht mit uns reden, wir möchten sonst sterben.

20 Mose aber sprach zum Volk: Fürchtet euch nicht; denn Gott ist kommen, daß er euch versuchte, und daß seine Furcht euch vor Augen wäre, daß ihr nicht sündiget.

21 Also trat das Volk von ferne; aber Mose machte sich hinzu ins Dunkel, da Gott innen war.

22 Und der HERR sprach zu ihm: Also sollst du den Kindern Israel sagen: Ihr habt gesehen, daß ich mit euch vom Himmel geredet habe.

23 Darum sollt ihr nichts neben mir machen, silberne und güldene Götter sollt ihr nicht machen.

24 Einen Altar von Erde mache mir, darauf du dein Brandopfer und Dankopfer, deine Schafe und Rinder opferst. Denn an welchem Ort ich meines Namens Gedächtnis stiften werde, da will ich zu dir kommen und dich segnen.

25 Und so du mir einen steinernen Altar willst machen, sollst du ihn nicht von gehauenen Steinen bauen; denn wo du mit deinem Messer darüber fährest, so wirst du ihn entweihen.

26 Du sollst auch nicht auf Stufen zu meinem Altar steigen, daß nicht deine Scham aufgedeckt werde vor ihm.

8876. 'Visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the sons' means the consequent propagation of falsity from evil. This is clear from the meaning of 'visiting the iniquity of the fathers' as the propagation of evils, the reason why 'visiting' means propagating being that the subject is the state of those who completely reject the Divine, therefore who are receptive no longer of good but of evil, and constantly so since evil is constantly increasing with such people, which is the propagation of it (for the meaning of 'father' as good and in the contrary sense as evil, see 3703, 5902, 6050, 7833, 7834); and from the meaning of 'the sons' as truths, dealt with in 1147, 2623, 3373, and therefore in the contrary sense as falsities In the proximate sense 'visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the sons' does not mean that sons pay the penalty for the iniquity of their fathers, for that is contrary to the Divine, Deuteronomy 24:16. Rather the meaning in that sense is that evil increases with the fathers and so is passed on by heredity to their children, and that consequently the evil mounts up over successive generations, 2910, 3701, 4317, 8550, 8551. In the spiritual sense however 'the fathers' does not mean fathers but evils, and 'the sons' does not mean sons but falsities; therefore those words mean the constant propagation of falsity from evil.

Arcana Coelestia #3373

3373. 'And to your seed' means truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'seed' as truth, dealt with in 29, 255, 1025, 1447, 1610, 1940, 2848, 3310, and so truth from the Lord's Divine, which is 'your seed'. Those who understand the Word solely according to the sense of the letter can know no more than this, that 'seed' means descendants - here Isaac's descendants through Esau and Jacob, primarily through Jacob since the Word existed among that nation and so many of its historical descriptions have to do with them. But in the internal sense 'seed' is not used to mean any descendants from Isaac but all who are the Lord's 'sons', and so who are 'the sons of His kingdom', or what amounts to the same, those in whom good and truth which come from the Lord are present. And as these constitute 'the seed' it follows that good and truth themselves from the Lord are 'the seed', for these are what make people His 'sons'. This is also the reason why truths themselves which come from the Lord are called 'the sons of the kingdom' in Matthew,

He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man, the field is the world, the seed are the sons of the kingdom. Matthew 13:37-38.

And for this reason also 'sons' generally means truths, 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2623.

[2] Anyone who thinks rather more deeply or inwardly may recognize that the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, mentioned so many times, and spoken of so many times as those who were to be blessed, and more so than all nations and peoples in all the world, cannot in the Divine Word mean the descendants of those three. For among all nations they least of all were moved by the good that flows from love to the Lord and from charity towards the neighbour. Nor indeed did any truth of faith exist with them. Who the Lord is, what His kingdom is, and so what heaven is and what the life after death, they did not know at all. They did not know these things because for one thing they did not wish to know and for another because if they had come to know about them they would have denied them completely in their hearts and so would have profaned interior goods and truths, as they did exterior by becoming on so many occasions open idolaters. This is the reason why any interior truths are rarely visible in the literal sense of the Old Testament Word. Because the nature of those people was such, the Lord therefore said about them, quoting Isaiah,

He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they see with their eyes and understand with their heart, and are converted and I heal them. John 12:40.

What He said about them when they declared they were 'the seed of Abraham',

They said, We are the seed of Abraham. Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them, If you were Abraham's sons, you would do the works of Abraham. You are from your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will to do. John 8:33, 39, 44.

Here also 'Abraham' is used to mean the Lord, as in every other instance in the Word. The Lord explicitly states that they were not His seed or sons but came from the devil. From this it is quite evident that 'the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob' in both the historical part and the prophetical part of the Word is in no way used to mean such descendants, for the Word is Divine in every detail Instead it means all who constitute 'the Lord's seed', that is, those with whom the good and truth of faith in Him are present. The fact that heavenly seed, that is, all good and truth, comes from the Lord alone, see 1438, 1614, 2016, 2803, 2882, 2883, 2891, 2892, 2904, 3195.
