1 Ja Issand ütles Moosesele: 'Mine, lahku siit, sina ja rahvas, kelle sa tõid Egiptusemaalt välja, maale, mille ma vandega olen tõotanud Aabrahamile, Iisakile ja Jaakobile, öeldes: Sinu soole ma annan selle!

2 Ma läkitan sinu eel ingli ja ajan ära kaananlased, emorlased, hetid, perislased, hiivlased ja jebuuslased,

3 et sa jõuaksid maale, mis piima ja mett voolab, sest mina ise ei lähe koos sinuga, et sind mitte hävitada teel, kuna sa oled kangekaelne rahvas.'

4 Kui rahvas kuulis seda kurja kõnet, siis nad leinasid ja ükski ei pannud enesele ehteid ümber.

5 Ja Issand ütles Moosesele: 'Ütle Iisraeli lastele: Te olete kangekaelne rahvas. Kui ma läheksin ühe silmapilgugi koos sinuga, peaksin sinu hävitama. Võta nüüd ära oma ehted, siis ma mõtlen, mis ma sinuga teen!'

6 Ja Iisraeli lapsed rebisidki endilt ehted Hoorebi mäe juurest lahkumisel.

7 Mooses aga võttis telgi ja püstitas selle väljapoole leeri, leerist kaugemale, ja nimetas selle kogudusetelgiks; ja igaüks, kes otsis Issandat, läks kogudusetelgi juurde, mis oli väljaspool leeri.

8 Iga kord, kui Mooses läks välja telgi juurde, tõusis kogu rahvas püsti ja igamees seisis oma telgi uksel ning vaatas Moosesele järele, kuni ta oli läinud telki.

9 Ja iga kord, kui Mooses oli läinud telki, laskus pilvesammas alla ning seisis telgi ukse kohal; ja ta kõneles Moosesega.

10 Ja kui kogu rahvas nägi pilvesammast seisvat telgi ukse kohal, siis kogu rahvas tõusis üles ja nad kummardasid igaüks oma telgi uksel.

11 Ja Issand kõneles Moosesega palgest palgesse, nagu räägiks mees oma sõbraga. Siis Mooses tuli tagasi leeri, aga tema teener Joosua, Nuuni poeg, noor mees, ei lahkunud telgist.

12 Ja Mooses ütles Issandale: 'Vaata, sa ütled mulle: Vii see rahvas sinna! Aga sa ei ole mulle teada andnud, keda sa koos minuga läkitad. Ometi oled sa ise öelnud: Ma tunnen sind nimepidi ja sa oled ka armu leidnud minu silmis.

13 Aga kui ma nüüd olen armu leidnud sinu silmis, siis õpeta mulle oma teed, et ma tunneksin sind ja leiaksin armu su silmis, sest vaata, see rahvas on sinu rahvas.'

14 Ta vastas: 'Minu pale läheb kaasa ja ma annan sulle rahu.'

15 Siis Mooses ütles temale: 'Kui su pale ei tule kaasa, siis ära vii meid siit ära!

16 Sest millest muidu tuntakse, et oleme armu leidnud sinu silmis, mina ja su rahvas, kui sellest, et sina käid koos meiega, nõnda et meie, mina ja su rahvas, erineme kogu rahvast, kes maa peal on?'

17 Ja Issand vastas Moosesele: 'Mina teengi nõnda, nagu oled soovinud, sest sa oled armu leidnud minu silmis ja ma tunnen sind nimepidi.'

18 Aga Mooses ütles: 'Näita siis mulle oma auhiilgust!'

19 Ja tema vastas: 'Ma lasen sinu eest mööduda kogu oma ilu ja kuulutan sinu ees Issanda nime. Ja ma olen armuline, kellele olen armuline, ja halastan, kelle peale halastan.'

20 Ja ta ütles veel: 'Sa ei tohi näha mu palet, sest ükski inimene ei või mind näha ja jääda elama!'

21 Siis ütles Issand: 'Vaata, siin mu juures on üks paik; astu selle kalju peale!

22 Kui mu auhiilgus möödub, siis ma panen sind kaljulõhesse ja katan sind oma käega, kuni ma olen möödunud.

23 Kui ma siis oma käe ära võtan, näed sa mind selja tagant, aga mu palet ei tohi keegi näha!'

10544. Verses 7-11 And Moses took a tent and pitched it for himself outside the camp, far from the camp, and called it the tent of meeting. And so it was, that everyone asking Jehovah a question went out to the tent of meeting which was outside the camp. And so it was, when Moses went out to the tent, that all the people rose and stood, each at the door of his tent, and looked after Moses 1 until he had entered the tent. And so it was, when Moses entered the tent, that the pillar of cloud came down, and stood at the door of the tent, and talked to Moses. And all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the door of the tent; and all the people rose, and they bowed down, each at the door of his tent. And Jehovah spoke to Moses face to face, as a man (vir) speaks to his neighbour. And he returned to the camp, and his minister Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not move away from the midst of the tent.

'And Moses took a tent' means the holiness of worship, the Church, and the Word. 'And pitched it for himself outside the camp, far from the camp' means remote from the external things in which the interest of that actual nation lay. 'And called it the tent of meeting' means the external aspect of worship, the Church, and the Word, [which holds internal things within it.] 'And so it was, that everyone asking Jehovah a question went out to the tent of meeting which was outside the camp' means that all instruction regarding the truths and forms of good belonging to the Church and to worship was imparted to everyone through the outward sense of the Word, far removed from the external things in which alone the nation itself was interested. 'And so it was, when Moses went out to the tent, that all the people rose and stood, [each] at the door of [his] tent' means that that nation did not abide in the external aspect of the Word, the Church, and worship, but outside it. 'And looked after Moses until he had entered the tent' means that they see the external aspect of the Word, the Church, and worship, but that it goes beyond what they are capable of understanding. 'And so it was, when Moses entered the tent, that the pillar of cloud came down, and stood at the door of the tent, and talked to Moses' means that when the Word had gone beyond what they were capable of understanding, extremely poor visibility descended on them away to the outside, and yet there was clear perception from within. 'And all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the door of the tent' means the extremely poor visibility descending on those to the outside. 'And all the people rose, and they bowed down, each at the door of [his] tent' means that nation's holy regard for and adoration of what was external with them. 'And Jehovah spoke to Moses face to face' means Divine things in the Word that are joined together. 'As a man (vir) speaks to his neighbour' means the joining together of truth and good. 'And he returned to the camp' means going back to the external in which the interest of that nation lay. 'And his minister Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not move away from the midst of the tent' means Divine Truth ministering meantime in the holy things of the Church and worship in place of Moses.

9595. 'Ten curtains' means all the truths of which it consists. This is clear from the meaning of 'ten' as all, dealt with in 4638, so that 'a tenth part', which is one curtain, means a sufficient amount, 8468, 8540; and from the meaning of 'curtains' as the interior truths of faith which belong to the new understanding. For 'the dwelling-place' means the middle or second heaven, which is heaven by virtue of its reception of Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good, as shown above in 9594; consequently the curtains of which it was assembled and which enveloped it are the truths of faith belonging to the new understanding. They are interior truths, because exterior truths are meant by the curtains made from [the hair of] goats for the tent going all the way round, which are also dealt with in the present chapter.

[2] The fact that 'curtains' are the truths of faith which those in the Lord's spiritual kingdom possess is clear from places in the Word where they are mentioned, as in Isaiah,

Sing, O barren one that did not bear; for the sons of her that is desolate will be more than the sons of her that is married. Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwelling-places. Lengthen the ropes, because you will break out to the right and to the left, and your seed will inherit the nations. Isaiah 54:1-3.

This refers to the Church to be established among the gentiles, which is called 'a barren one that did not bear' because it lacks truths from the Word, 9325. It says that 'her sons will be more than those of her that is married' because it will have more truths than the devastated former Church had; for 'sons' are truths, 489, 491, 533, 1147, 3373, 3704. 'Enlarging the place of the tent' stands for the holiness of worship springing from the good of love, 3312, 4391, 4599, 'stretching out the curtains of dwelling-places' for the holiness of worship springing from the truths of faith.

[3] In Jeremiah,

The whole land has been laid waste. Suddenly My tents have been laid waste, My curtains in a moment. Jeremiah 4:20.

'A land laid waste' stands for the Church, 9325, 'tents laid waste' for the holiness of worship springing from the good of love, 'curtains laid waste' for holy worship springing from the truths of faith.

[4] In the same prophet,

My tent has been laid waste, and all My ropes torn away. My sons have gone away from Me, and they are not. There is no one stretching out My tent any more, and setting up My curtains. For the shepherds have become stupid. Jeremiah 10:20-21.

Here the meaning is similar. In the same prophet,

Arise and go up against Arabia, and lay waste the sons of the east. They will take their tents and flocks, their curtains and all their vessels, and bear their camels away for themselves. Jeremiah 49:28-29.

'Arabia' and 'the sons of the east' stand for those with cognitions or knowledge of goodness and truth, 3249; 'taking tents and flocks' stands for taking the Church's forms of interior good, 8937, 'taking curtains' for taking the Church's interior truths, 'their vessels' the Church's exterior truths, 3068, 3079, 'camels' general facts, 3048, 3071, 3143, 3145. In Habakkuk,

Below Aven I saw the tents of Cushan; the curtains of Midian shook. Habakkuk 3:7.

'The curtains of Midian' stands for the truths with those governed by simple good, 3242, 4756, 4788, 6773, 6775.

[5] All this shows what is meant by the following in David,

O Jehovah, You have put on glory and honour - He who covers Himself with light, as if with a garment; He stretches out the heavens like a curtain. Psalms 104:1-2.

'Covering Himself with light, as if with a garment' stands for Divine Truths. Truth is meant by 'light', see 9548, and also by 'a garment', 4545, 4763, 5319, 5954, 9093, 9212, 9216; therefore 'stretching out the heavens like a curtain' means enlarging the heavens by means of an influx of God's truth, from which come intelligence and wisdom. 'Stretching and spreading out the heavens' has reference to the new or regenerated understanding part of the mind, see at the end of the very next paragraph, 9596.
