2 Mose 24

Учиться

   

1 Und zu Mose sprach er: Steig herauf zum HERRN, du und Aaron, Nadab und Abihu, und die siebenzig Ältesten Israels, und betet an von ferne.

2 Aber Mose alleine nahe sich zum HERRN, und laß jene sich nicht herzunahen; und das Volk komme auch nicht mit ihm herauf.

3 Mose kam und erzählete dem Volk alle Worte des HERRN und alle Rechte. Da antwortete alles Volk mit einer Stimme und sprachen: Alle Worte, die der HERR gesagt hat, wollen wir tun.

4 Da schrieb Mose alle Worte des HERRN und machte sich des Morgens frühe auf und bauete einen Altar unten am Berge mit zwölf Säulen nach den zwölf Stämmen Israels.

5 Und sandte hin Jünglinge aus den Kindern Israel, daß sie Brandopfer darauf opferten und Dankopfer dem HERRN von Farren.

6 Und Mose nahm die Hälfte des Bluts und tat's in ein Becken; die andere Hälfte sprengete er auf den Altar.

7 Und nahm das Buch des Bundes und las es vor den Ohren des Volks. Und da sie sprachen: Alles, was der HERR gesagt hat, wollen wir tun und gehorchen,

8 da nahm Mose das Blut und sprengete das Volk damit und sprach: Sehet, das ist Blut des Bundes, den der HERR mit euch machte über allen diesen Worten.

9 Da stiegen Mose und Aaron, Nadab und Abihu und die siebenzig Ältesten Israels hinauf

10 und sahen den Gott Israels. Unter seinen Füßen war es wie ein schöner Saphir und wie die Gestalt des Himmels, wenn es klar ist.

11 Und er ließ seine Hand nicht über dieselben Obersten in Israel. Und da sie Gott geschaute hatten, aßen und tranken sie.

12 Und der HERR sprach zu Mose: Komm herauf zu mir auf den Berg und bleibe daselbst, daß ich dir gebe steinerne Tafeln und Gesetze und Gebote, die ich geschrieben habe, die du sie lehren sollst.

13 Da machte sich Mose auf und sein Diener Josua und stieg auf den Berg Gottes.

14 Und sprach zu den Ältesten: Bleibet hie, bis wir wieder zu euch kommen. Siehe, Aaron und Hur sind bei euch; hat jemand eine Sache, der komme vor dieselben.

15 Da nun Mose auf den Berg kam, bedeckte eine Wolke den Berg.

16 Und die HERRLIchkeit des HERRN wohnete auf dem Berge Sinai und deckte ihn mit der Wolke sechs Tage; und rief Mose am siebenten Tage aus der Wolke.

17 Und das Ansehen der HERRLIchkeit des HERRN war wie ein verzehrend Feuer auf der Spitze des Berges vor den Kindern Israel.

18 Und Mose ging mitten in die Wolke und stieg auf den Berg; und blieb auf dem Berge vierzig Tage und vierzig Nächte.

9415. 'Come up to Me into the mountain, and be there' means the Lord's presence with them through an intermediary. This is clear from the meaning of 'going up' as being raised towards higher, that is, more internal things, dealt with in 3084, 4539, 4969, 5406, 5817, 6007, and consequently being joined to them, 8760, 9373. The Lord's presence is meant because it says, 'Come up to Me into the mountain, and be there'; for Jehovah to whom Moses was told to go up means the Lord, see above in 9414, and 'Mount Sinai' means the Word which comes from the Lord, and in which the Lord is for that reason present, 8399, 8753, 8793, 8805. Heaven too is meant by that mountain, for the Word is Divine Truth emanating from the Lord, and heaven is a receptacle of God's truth, thus of the Lord Himself, as has often been shown before. From this it is evident that 'going up to Jehovah into the mountain' means the Lord's presence. His presence with that people is through an intermediary, because Moses now represents the people as its head, and so as an intermediary, as stated immediately above in 9414.

[2] The words 'the Lord's presence with them through an intermediary' are used here because the Lord makes Himself present with man, but man does not make himself present with the Lord. For all the good that belongs to love and the truth that belongs to faith comes from the Lord, and no good or truth whatever comes from man. Therefore the Lord's presence exists with those who let Him in, that is, with those who receive in faith and love God's truth coming from Him. That the Lord comes to them, and not they to him, is the Lord's own teaching in John,

He who loves Me keeps My word, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. John 14:23.

In the same gospel,

He who abides in Me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for without Me you can do nothing. John 15:5.

And in the same gospel,

Man cannot receive 1 anything unless it is given him from heaven. John 3:27.

Сноски:

1. The Latin means do but the Greek means receive, which Swedenborg has in most other places where he quotes this verse.

8760. 'And Moses went up to God' means the truth from God which was below heaven joining itself to Divine Truth in heaven. This is clear from the representation of 'Moses' as the truth from God, dealt with in 6771, 6827, 7014, at this point the truth from God which was below heaven, since he now represents the children of Israel as their head, and so represents those belonging to the spiritual Church not yet in heaven because they are not as yet governed by good formed from truths, 8753, 8754; and from the meaning of 'going up' as joining oneself to, for someone who goes up to the Divine joins himself to Him, even as the words 'going up into heaven' mean man's being joined to the Lord, and the words 'coming down from heaven' mean His being joined to man. Divine Truth in heaven, to which the other was joined, is what 'God' is used to mean; for in the Word the Lord is called 'God' by virtue of Divine Truth, and Jehovah' by virtue of Divine Good, 2586, 2769, 2807, 2822, 3921 (end), 4402, 7010, 7268, 7873, 8301. And since the joining of Divine Truth to Divine Good is the subject here, this verse first says 'God', then 'Jehovah' just after, in these words, And Moses went up to God, and Jehovah called to him from the mountain.

[2] The expression Divine Truth in heaven is used, and then Divine Good in heaven, because the Divine Himself is far above the heavens; not only Divine Goodness itself is far above them but also Divine Truth itself which goes forth directly from Divine Good. The reason why they are far above heaven is that in Himself the Divine is the Infinite, and the Infinite cannot be joined to finite beings, thus not even to angels in heaven, unless He puts on some finite clothing and in that way adapts Himself for reception. Also Divine Good as it exists in itself is a flame of infinite intensity or love, a flame which no angel in heaven can bear; for he would be devoured by it, as a person in the world would be if the flame of the sun were to reach him without anything between them to moderate it. The light also from the flame of God's love, which is Divine Truth, would blind all who are in heaven if it were to flow in without abatement of its fiery brightness. All this goes to show what the difference is between Divine Good and Divine Truth that are above the heavens and Divine Good and Divine Truth in the heavens, which are the subject here.
