1 Poi Dio disse a Mosè: "Sali all’Eterno tu ed Aaronne, Nadab e Abihu e settanta degli anziani d’Israele, e adorate da lungi;

2 poi Mosè solo s’accosterà all’Eterno; ma gli altri non s’accosteranno, né salirà il popolo con lui".

3 E Mosè venne e riferì al popolo tutte le parole dell’Eterno e tutte le leggi. E tutto il popolo rispose ad una voce e disse: "Noi faremo tutte le cose che l’Eterno ha dette".

4 Poi Mosè scrisse tutte le parole dell’Eterno; e, levatosi di buon’ora la mattina, eresse appiè del monte un altare e dodici pietre per le dodici tribù d’Israele.

5 E mandò dei giovani tra i figliuoli d’Israele a offrire olocausti e a immolare giovenchi come sacrifizi di azioni di grazie all’Eterno.

6 E Mosè prese la metà del sangue e lo mise in bacini; e l’altra metà la sparse sull’altare.

7 Poi prese il libro del patto e lo lesse in presenza del popolo, il quale disse: "Noi faremo tutto quello che l’Eterno ha detto, e ubbidiremo".

8 Allora Mosè prese il sangue, ne asperse il popolo e disse: "Ecco il sangue del patto che l’Eterno ha fatto con voi sul fondamento di tutte queste parole".

9 Poi Mosè ed Aaronne, Nadab e Abihu e settanta degli anziani d’Israele salirono,

10 e videro l’Iddio d’Israele. Sotto i suoi piedi c’era come un pavimento lavorato in trasparente zaffiro, e simile, per limpidezza, al cielo stesso.

11 Ed egli non mise la mano addosso a quegli eletti tra i figliuoli d’Israele; ma essi videro Iddio, e mangiarono e bevvero.

12 E l’Eterno disse a Mosè: "Sali da me sul monte, e fermati quivi; e io ti darò delle tavole di pietra, la legge e i comandamenti che ho scritti, perché siano insegnati ai figliuoli d’Israele".

13 Mosè dunque si levò con Giosuè suo ministro; e Mosè salì sul monte di Dio.

14 E disse agli anziani: "Aspettateci qui, finché torniamo a voi. Ecco, Aaronne e Hur sono con voi; chiunque abbia qualche affare si rivolga a loro".

15 Mosè dunque salì sul monte, e la nuvola ricoperse il monte.

16 E la gloria dell’Eterno rimase sui monte Sinai e la nuvola lo coperse per sei giorni; e il settimo giorno l’Eterno chiamò Mosè di mezzo alla nuvola.

17 E l’aspetto della gloria dell’Eterno era agli occhi de’ figliuoli d’Israele come un fuoco divorante sulla cima del monte.

18 E Mosè entrò in mezzo alla nuvola e salì sul monte; e Mosè rimase sul monto quaranta giorni e quaranta notti.

9417. 'And the law and the commandment' means truth in general and in particular. This is clear from the meaning of 'the law' as truth in general; and from the meaning of 'the commandment' as truth in particular. In the Word laws are divided up into commandments, judgements, and statutes, 'commandments' being used to mean laws of life, 'judgements' to mean laws of the civic state, and 'statutes' to mean laws of worship, 8972. However, all these together are called by the general term 'the law', and the individual requirements of the law are called 'commandments', as is clear from a large number of places in the Word. So it is that when the expression 'the law and the commandment' is used, truth in general and in particular is meant.

8972. Verse 1 And these are the judgements which you shall set before them means those more external truths such as must exist in a civic state where the Church is representative, which flow from the internal truths belonging to order in heaven. The fact that these things are meant by 'the judgements that were to be set before the children of Israel' is clear from the meaning of 'judgements' as truths, dealt with in 2235, 6397, 7206, 8685, 8695. The reason why 'judgements' are truths is that all judgement is effected by means of truths; therefore 'executing judgement' in the Word means executing truth, that is, judging in accordance with truths. But the plural 'judgements' means civil laws, thus those more external truths such as exist in a civic state. The words 'where the Church is representative' are added because these truths contain and embody within themselves the truths that belong to order in heaven, as may be recognized from the internal sense of them.

[2] The laws which the Lord delivered to the children of Israel and commanded them to keep were divided into commandments, judgements, and statutes. The term 'commandments' was given to those which were laws of life, 'judgements' to those which were laws of the civic state, and 'statutes' to those which were laws of worship. As regards judgements specifically, they are the kinds of laws that are contained in the present chapter and also some that follow. They served as laws in a Church in which inner realities, those of heaven and of the Church, were represented by outward things; but they do not serve as laws in a Church in which inner realities are no longer represented by outward things, as in the Christian Church. The reason for this is that inner realities have been revealed to people of this Church, and therefore inner realities are the channel through which contact is made with heaven, not outward things, as had been the situation before the Christian Church. Here is the reason why members of the Christian Church are not bound to adhere to the outward requirements of the laws called judgements and statutes, only to the inward ones. Holiness still remains within them because they hold holy truths within them, as also does every single command in the Word regarding the sacrifices. Although these are no longer prescriptive laws they remain holy constituents of the Word because of the Divine realities which they hold within themselves and which they represented. For when they are read by a Christian the Divine realities which are held within them and which were represented by them are discerned in heaven. They fill the angels with holiness, and at the same time the reader too through influx from the angels, especially if the reader himself is thinking at the same time about the Divine realities within them. From this it is evident that even the Old Testament Word is extremely holy.

[3] The fact that the laws which the Lord delivered to the children of Israel and commanded them to keep were divided into commandments that were laws of life, judgements that were laws of the civic state, and statutes that were laws of worship, is evident in Moses,

Jehovah said to Moses, Go, say to them, Go back into your tents. But you, stand here with Me, that I may tell you all the commandments, and statutes, and judgements which you shall teach them, so that they may do them. Deuteronomy 5:30-31.

In the same author,

Furthermore these are the commandments, statutes, and judgements which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you. Deuteronomy 6:1.

In the same author,

Therefore you shall keep the commandments and the statutes and the judgments which I am commanding you today, to do them. Deuteronomy 7:11.

In David,

If his sons forsake My law and do not walk in My judgements, if they profane My statutes and do not keep My commandments, I will visit their transgression with the rod. Psalms 89:30-32.

[4] Furthermore all the laws, in that they were those of a representative Church, were generally called judgements and statutes, as in Moses,

Now therefore, O Israel, hear the statutes and the judgements which I will teach you, that you may do them. What great nation [is there] that has righteous statutes and judgements, like all this law which I will set before you today? Deuteronomy 4:1, 8; 5:1.

In Ezekiel.

Jerusalem has changed My judgements into wickedness more than the nations, and My statutes more than the lands that are around her; for they have repudiated My judgements, and have not walked in My statutes. Ezekiel 5:6-7.

In the same prophet,

Let him 1 walk in My statutes and keep My judgements - to do the truth. Ezekiel 18:9.

In addition to these there are many other places, such as Leviticus 18:5; 19:37; 20:22; 25:18; 26:15; Deuteronomy 26:17; Ezekiel 11:12, 20; 20:11, 13, 25; 37:24.
