maastamuutto 19

Studie

   

1 Kolmantena kuukautena Israelin lasten lähtemisestä Egyptin maalta, tulivat he sinä päivänä Sinain korpeen.

2 Sillä he olivat lähteneet Raphidimista, ja tulivat Sinain korpeen, ja sioittivat itsensä korpeen: ja Israel sioitti itsensä siihen, vuoren kohdalle.

3 Ja Moses astui ylös Jumalan tykö. Ja Herra huusi häntä vuorelta, ja sanoi: näin sinun pitää sanoman Jakobin huoneelle, ja Israelin lapsille ilmoittaman.

4 Te olette nähneet, mitä minä Egyptiläisille tehnyt olen: ja kuinka minä olen teitä kantanut kotkan siivillä, ja olen saattanut teidät minun tyköni.

5 Jos te siis minun ääneni ahkerasti kuulette, ja pidätte minun liittoni, niin teidän pitää oleman minulle kallis omaisuus kaikista kansoista, vaikka muutoin koko maa on minun.

6 Ja teidän pitää oleman minulle papillinen valtakunta ja pyhä kansa. Nämä ovat ne sanat, jotka sinun pitää Israelin lapsille, sanoman.

7 Niin Moses tuli ja kutsui kokoon vanhimmat kansan seasta, ja jutteli heille kaikki sanat, jotka Herra hänen käskenyt oli.

8 Ja kaikki kansa vastasi yhtä haavaa, ja sanoi: kaikki mitä Herra puhunut on, me tahdomme tehdä. Ja Moses sanoi jällensä kansan sanat Herralle.

9 Niin Herra sanoi Mosekselle: katso, minä tulen sinun tykös paksussa pilvessä, että kansa kuulee minun puhuvan sinun kanssas, ja uskoo sinua ijankaikkisesti. Ja Moses ilmoitti Herralle kansan puheen.

10 Ja Herra sanoi Mosekselle: mene kansan tykö, ja pyhitä heitä tänäpänä ja huomenna: että he vaatteensa pesisivät.

11 Ja olisivat kolmantena päivänä valmiit; sillä kolmantena päivänä Herra on astuva alas kaiken kansan eteen Sinain vuorelle.

12 Ja sinun pitää paneman rajan kansan ympärille, sanoen: karttakaat teitänne, ettette vuorelle astu taikka tartu sen rajaan: joka siihen vuoreen sattuu, sen pitää totisesti kuoleman.

13 Ei yksikään käsi pidä häneen rupeeman, vaan hän pitää täydellisesti kivitettämän, eli kohdastansa ammuttaman lävitse, joko se eläin taikka ihminen olis, ei pidä sen elämän. Koska ääni rupee pitkään kajahtamaan, silloin he vuorelle astukaan.

14 Moses astui vuorelta kansan tykö, ja pyhitti heitä: ja he pesivät vaatteensa.

15 Ja hän sanoi heille: olkaat kolmanteen päivään valmiit, ja älkäät lähestykö vaimoja.

16 Kuin kolmas päivä tuli, ja aamu oli, niin tuli pitkäisen jylinä ja leimaus, ja paksu pilvi vuoren päälle, ja sangen väkevä basunan ääni: niin kaikki kansa, jotka leirissä olivat, pelvosta vapisivat.

17 Ja Moses johdatti kansan leiristä Jumalaa vastaan, ja he seisahtivat vuoren alle.

18 Mutta koko Sinain vuori suitsi, siitä että Herra astui alas sen päälle tulessa, ja sen savu kävi ylös niinkuin pätsin savu, niin että koko vuori sangen kovaan vapisi.

19 Ja sen basunan helinä enemmin ja enemmin eneni. Moses puhui ja Jumala vastasi häntä kuultavasti.

20 Kuin nyt Herra oli tullut alas Sinain vuoren kukkulalle, niin Herra kutsui Moseksen vuoren kukkulalle. Ja Moses astui sinne ylös.

21 Niin sanoi Herra hänelle: astu alas ja varoita kansaa, ettei he kävisi rajan ylitse Herran tykö, häntä näkemään, ja monta heistä lankeaisi.

22 Niin myös papit, jotka Herraa lähestyvät, pitää heitänsä pyhittämän, ettei Herra heitä hukuttaisi.

23 Ja Moses sanoi Herralle: eipä kansa saa astua ylös Sinain vuorelle; sillä sinä olet meille todistanut ja sanonut: pane rajat vuoren ympärille, ja pyhitä se.

24 Ja Herra sanoi hänelle: mene ja astu alas, ja astu ylös (jällensä) sinä ja Aaron sinun kanssas; mutta papit ja kansa älkään lähestykö astumaan ylös Herran tykö, ettei hän heitä hukuttaisi.

25 Ja Moses astui alas kansan tykö ja sanoi nämät heille.

284. The details just quoted about the proclamation of the law, its holiness and power, are to be found in the following passages of the Word. Jehovah came down on Mount Sinai in fire, and the mountain then smoked and shook, there was thunder and lightning, an oppressive cloud and the sound of a trumpet: Exodus 19:16-18; Deuteronomy 4:11; 5:22-26. The people prepared and sanctified themselves for three days before Jehovah came down: Exodus 19:10-11, 15. The mountain was hedged about to prevent anyone approaching its foot and coming near and being killed; not even the priests approached, only Moses: Exodus 19:12-13, 20-23; 24:1-2. The law was proclaimed from Mount Sinai: Exodus 20:2-17; Deuteronomy 5:6-21. The law was inscribed on two stone tablets, and written by the finger of God: Exodus 31:18; 32:15-16; Deuteronomy 9:10. When Moses carried the tablets down from the mountain the second time, his face shone so that he had to cover his face with a veil when talking with the people: Exodus 34:29-35. The tablets were laid up in the Ark: Exodus 25:16, 40:20; Deuteronomy 10:5; 1 Kings 8:9. The mercy-seat was mounted upon the Ark, and over it were placed cherubim made of gold: Exodus 25:17-21. The Ark together with the mercy-seat and the cherubim was put into the Tabernacle, constituting its first and thus most inward part; the table overlaid with gold, upon which was the bread of the Presence, the incense-altar of gold, and the lamp-stand and lamps of gold, made up the external part of the Tabernacle; the ten curtains of fine linen, purple and scarlet were its outermost part: Exodus 25:1-end; Exodus 26:1-end; Exodus 40:17-28. The place, where the Ark was, was called the Holy of Holies: Exodus 26:33. The whole people of Israel camped around the Tabernacle in the order of their tribes, and set out in order after it: Numbers 2:1-end. There was then a cloud over the Tabernacle by day and fire by night: Exodus 40:38; Numbers 9:15-end; Numbers 14:14; Deuteronomy 1:33. Jehovah spoke with Moses above the Ark, between the cherubim: Exodus 25:22; Numbers 7:89. The Ark was called from the law in it 'Jehovah-is-here'; for Moses said when the Ark set out 'Arise, Jehovah', and when it rested 'Return, Jehovah': Numbers 10:35-36; and further 2 Samuel 6:2 1 ; Psalms 132:7-8. On account of the holiness of the law Aaron was not allowed to go inside the veil, except with sacrifices and incense: Leviticus 16:2-14ff. By the presence of the Lord's power in the law contained in the Ark the waters of Jordan were parted, and the people crossed over on dry land, so long as it rested in the midst: ; 4:5-20. When the Ark was carried round them, the walls of Jericho fell down: Joshua 6:1-20. Dagon, the god of the Philistines, fell to the ground in the presence of the Ark, and afterwards was found lying on the threshold of the shrine with his head torn off and the palms of his hands cut off: 1 Samuel 5. The men of Bethshemesh were smitten because of the Ark to the number of many thousands: 1 Samuel 5, 6. Uzzah was killed by touching the Ark: 2 Samuel 6:7. The Ark was brought into Zion by David with sacrifices and jubilation: 2 Samuel 6:1-19. The Ark was brought by Solomon into the Temple at Jerusalem, where he made its inner shrine: 1 Kings 6:19ff; 1 Kings 8:3-9.

Exodus 20

Studie

   

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.'
