1 И сказал Господь Моисею: пойди, иди отсюда ты и народ, который ты вывел из земли Египетской, в землю, о которой Я клялся Аврааму,Исааку и Иакову, говоря: потомству твоему дам ее;

2 и пошлю пред тобою Ангела, и прогоню Хананеев, Аморреев, Хеттеев, Ферезеев, Евеев и Иевусеев,

3 и введет он вас в землю, где течет молоко и мед; ибо Сам не пойду среди вас, чтобы не погубить Мне вас на пути, потому что вы народ жестоковыйный.

4 Народ, услышав грозное слово сие, возрыдал, и никто не возложил на себя украшений своих.

5 Ибо Господь сказал Моисею: скажи сынам Израилевым: вы народ жестоковыйный; если Я пойду среди вас, то в одну минуту истреблю вас; итак снимите с себя украшения свои; Я посмотрю, что Мне делать с вами.

6 Сыны Израилевы сняли с себя украшения свои у горы Хорива.

7 Моисей же взял и поставил себе шатер вне стана, вдали от стана, и назвал его скиниею собрания; и каждый, ищущий Господа, приходил в скинию собрания, находившуюся вне стана.

8 И когда Моисей выходил к скинии, весь народ вставал, и становился каждый у входа в свой шатер и смотрел вслед Моисею, доколе он не входил в скинию.

9 Когда же Моисей входил в скинию, тогда спускался столп облачный истановился у входа в скинию, и Господь говорил с Моисеем.

10 И видел весь народ столп облачный, стоявший у входа в скинию; и вставал весь народ, и поклонялся каждый у входа в шатер свой.

11 И говорил Господь с Моисеем лицем к лицу, как бы говорил кто с другом своим; и он возвращался в стан; а служитель его Иисус, сын Навин, юноша, не отлучался от скинии.

12 Моисей сказал Господу: вот, Ты говоришь мне: веди народ сей, а не открыл мне, кого пошлешь со мною, хотя Ты сказал: „Я знаю тебя по имени, и ты приобрел благоволение в очах Моих";

13 итак, если я приобрел благоволение в очах Твоих, то молю: открой мне путь Твой, дабыя познал Тебя, чтобы приобрести благоволение в очах Твоих; и помысли, что сии люди Твой народ.

14 Господь сказал: Сам Я пойду, и введу тебя в покой.

15 Моисей сказал Ему: если не пойдешь Ты Сам с нами , то и не выводи нас отсюда,

16 ибо по чему узнать, что я и народ Твой обрели благоволение в очахТвоих? не по тому ли, когда Ты пойдешь с нами? тогда я и народ Твой будем славнее всякого народа на земле.

17 И сказал Господь Моисею: и то, о чем ты говорил, Я сделаю, потому что ты приобрел благоволение в очах Моих, и Я знаю тебя по имени.

18 Моисей сказал: покажи мне славу Твою.

19 И сказал Господь : Я проведу пред тобою всю славу Мою и провозглашу имя Иеговы пред тобою, и кого помиловать – помилую, кого пожалеть – пожалею.

20 И потом сказал Он: лица Моего не можно тебе увидеть, потому что человек не может увидеть Меня и остаться в живых.

21 И сказал Господь: вот место у Меня, стань на этой скале;

22 когда же будет проходить слава Моя, Я поставлю тебяв расселине скалы и покрою тебя рукою Моею, доколе не пройду;

23 и когда сниму руку Мою, ты увидишь Меня сзади, а лице Мое не будет видимо.

10567. 'And He said, My face will go [with you], and I will cause you to rest' means that the Divine element composing the Church, worship, and the Word will be present, even though what is external with the actual nation will be devoid of that element. This is clear from the meaning of 'face' as the interiors, dealt with in the places referred to in 9546, and when used in reference to Jehovah, as things that are Divine, at this point the Divine components of the Church, worship, and the Word; from the meaning of 'going' as living, dealt with in 3335, 4882, 5493, 5605, 8417, 8420, 9440, but when used in reference to Jehovah as imparting life, being present, and leading, for this is what gives man his life; and from the meaning of 'causing Moses to rest' as the external aspect of the Church, worship, and the Word, in which the interior things that are Divine terminate. For 'Moses' represents that external aspect, as above in 10563, and 'resting' means coming to a rest or halt, so that he represents that in which the interior things that are Divine come to a rest or halt. Furthermore the actual word used in the original language denotes to come to a rest or halt. The interior components of the Church, worship, and the Word come to a halt on their external level, and they rest on it as their base, as a house does on its foundations, see 9216. The fact that these things are meant by 'causing Moses to rest' is clear from what follows in this chapter, from the internal sense in which the subject is the interior components of the Word, the Church, and worship, and the external in which they terminate, that external being what 'Moses' represents.

Arcana Coelestia #4882

4882. 'And went' means life. This is clear from the meaning of 'going' as living, dealt with in 3335, 3690. This meaning of 'going' in the internal sense as living does indeed seem quite remote from or unrelated to ideas man has which constitute his thought. The reason for this is that man dwells within space and time, and with these has formed the ideas comprising his thought, such as the idea of going, advancing, setting out, sojourning, or moving on. Now because these actions occur within both space and time, and as a consequence space and time have become embedded in ideas of those actions, man therefore finds it difficult to grasp that states of life are meant. But when his idea of those actions is relieved or divested of spatial and temporal elements the spiritual reality that is meant leaps out. For in the spiritual world or heaven nothing at all spatial or temporal enters the ideas they have, but instead aspects of a state of life, 1274, 1382, 2625, 2788, 2837, 3356, 3404, 3827, 4814. It does indeed appear to spirits and angels that they too move about, going from one place to another, and indeed exactly in the same way as it appears so to men. All the same, it is the changes taking place in their state of life that are responsible for this appearance. To them also, no less than to men, the appearance is that they live self-dependently, when in fact they do not live self-dependently but are dependent on the Lord's Divine, the source of every spark of life. Among angels these appearances are called real ones, because they seem in all reality to exist.

[2] I have on occasions spoken to spirits about these appearances, but those who are not governed by good, nor consequently by truth, do not wish to listen when told it is but an appearance that they live self-dependently; for their wish is to live self-dependently. But in addition to showing them from actual experience that they do not lead self-dependent lives and that every advance made from one place to another is a change to, and an advance made in, their state of life, I have also told them that for them it may be sufficient for them to know no other than that they live self-dependently, and that their life would be life no more if they did not live self-dependency. It would nevertheless be better for them to know what the situation really is, for in that case they would have the truth; and if they have the truth they also dwell in the light of heaven, since the light of heaven is the truth itself which flows from the Lord's Divine. Furthermore, if the truth existed with them in this way they would not claim that good was their own, nor would evil cling to them. Angels possessing that truth do not merely know it; they also have a perception of it.

[3] Intervals of time and space in the spiritual world are states of life, and every spark of life has its origin in the Lord, as the following experience may show. Each spirit and angel sees on his right those who are good and on his left those who are evil; this is so in whatever direction he turns himself. If he turns and looks eastwards he sees the good to the right and the evil to the left. The same happens if he turns and looks to the west, and likewise to the south or the north. This is the case with every spirit or angel, so that if there were two, and one of these turned and looked to the east and the other did so to the west, each would still see the good on his right and the evil on his left. Those far removed from, even behind the backs of, those who behold them are seen in those unchanging positions. From these considerations one may deduce clearly that every spark of life has its origin in the Lord, that is, that the Lord is within the life of everyone; for in the spiritual world the Lord is seen as the Sun, the good or sheep being on His right, and the evil or goats on His left. The same is therefore the case with each spirit or angel, for the reason, as stated, that the Lord exists in every spark of life. This is bound to look like a paradox to man, for as long as he is in the world man has ideas that are formed from worldly things, and therefore from what is spatial and temporal. But as stated above, in the spiritual world no ideas are formed from what is spatial and temporal but from the state belonging to affections and the thoughts flowing from these. It is for this reason also that the intervals of space and time in the Word mean states.
