Izlazak 19

Студија

   

1 Prvog dana trećeg meseca, pošto izađoše sinovi Izrailjevi iz Misira, tog dana dođoše u pustinju Sinajsku.

2 Krenuvši se iz Rafidina dođoše u pustinju Sinajsku, i stadoše u logor u pustinji, a logor načiniše Izrailjci onde pod gorom.

3 I Mojsije izađe na goru k Bogu; i povika mu Gospod s gore govoreći: Ovako kaži domu Jakovljevom, i reci sinovima Izrailjevim:

4 Videli ste šta sam učinio Misircima i kako sam vas kao na krilima orlovim nosio i doveo vas k sebi.

5 A sada ako dobro uzaslušate glas moj i uščuvate zavet moj, bićete moje blago mimo sve narode, premda je moja sva zemlja.

6 I bićete mi carstvo svešteničko i narod svet. To su reči koje ćeš kazati sinovima Izrailjevim.

7 A Mojsije dođe i sazva starešine narodne; i kaza im sve ove reči koje mu Gospod zapovedi.

8 A sav narod odgovori složno i reče: Šta je god kazao Gospod činićemo. I Mojsije javi Gospodu reči narodne.

9 A Gospod reče Mojsiju: Evo, ja ću doći k tebi u gustom oblaku, da narod čuje kad ti stanem govoriti i da ti veruje do veka. Jer Mojsije beše javio Gospodu reči narodne.

10 I reče Gospod Mojsiju: Idi k narodu, i osveštaj ih danas i sutra, i neka operu haljine svoje;

11 I neka budu gotovi za treći dan, jer će u treći dan sići Gospod na goru Sinajsku pred svim narodom.

12 A postavićeš narodu među unaokolo, i reći ćeš: Čuvajte se da ne stupite na goru i da se ne dotaknete kraja njenog; šta se god dotakne gore, poginuće;

13 Toga da se niko ne dotakne rukom, nego kamenjem da se zaspe ili da se ustreli, bilo živinče ili čovek, da ne ostane u životu. Kad rog zatrubi otežući onda neka pođu na goru.

14 I Mojsije siđe s gore k narodu; i osvešta narod, i opraše haljine svoje.

15 I reče narodu: Budite gotovi za treći dan, i ne ležite sa ženama.

16 A treći dan kad bi ujutru, gromovi zagrmeše i munje zasevaše, i posta gust oblak na gori, i zatrubi truba veoma jako, da zadrhta sav narod koji beše u logoru.

17 Tada Mojsije izvede narod iz logora pred Boga, i stadoše ispod gore.

18 A gora se Sinajska sva dimljaše, jer siđe na nju Gospod u ognju; i dim se iz nje podizaše kao dim iz peći, i sva se gora trešaše veoma.

19 I truba sve jače trubljaše, i Mojsije govoraše a Bog mu odgovaraše glasom.

20 I Gospod sišavši na goru Sinajsku, na vrh gore, pozva Mojsija na vrh gore; i izađe Mojsije.

21 A Gospod reče Mojsiju: Siđi, opomeni narod da ne prestupe međe da vide Gospoda, da ne bi izginuli od mene.

22 I sami sveštenici, koji pristupaju ka Gospodu, neka se osveštaju, da ih ne bi pobio Gospod.

23 A Mojsije reče Gospodu: Neće moći narod izaći na goru Sinajsku, jer si nas Ti opomenuo rekavši: Načini među gori i osveštaj je.

24 A Gospod mu reče: Idi, siđi, pa onda dođi ti i Aron s tobom; a sveštenici i narod neka ne prestupe međe da se popnu ka Gospodu, da ih ne bi pobio.

25 I siđe Mojsije k narodu, i kaza im.

God

  
Ancient of Days, by William Blake

When the Bible speaks of "Jehovah," it is representing love itself, the inmost love that is the essence of the Lord. That divine love is one, whole and complete in itself, and Jehovah also is one, a name applied only to the Lord. The divine love expresses itself in the form of wisdom. Love, then, is the essence of God -- His inmost. Wisdom -- the loving understanding of how to put love into action -- is slightly more external, giving love a way to express itself. Wisdom, however, is expressed in a great variety of thoughts and ideas, what the Writings collectively call divine truth. There are also many imaginary gods, and sometimes angels and people can be called gods (the Lord said Moses would be as a god to Aaron). So when the Bible calls the Lord "God," it is in most cases referring to divine truth. In other cases, "God" has reference to what is called the divine human. The case there is this: As human beings, we cannot engage the Lord directly as divine love. It is too powerful and too pure. Instead, we have to approach Him by understanding Him through divine truth. Divine truth, then, is the Lord in human form, a form we can approach and understand. Thus "God" is also used in reference to this human aspect, because it is an expression of truth.

9420. 'And Moses went up into the mountain of God' means in the direction of heaven. This is clear from the meaning of Mount Sinai, to which 'the mountain of God' refers here, as the law or Divine Truth which comes from the Lord, thus the Word as it exists in heaven, and therefore also heaven itself, dealt with in 8399, 8753, 8793, 8805. The reason why the revelation took place on a mountain and why that mountain is called 'the mountain of God' is that 'the mountain' means the heavenly attribute of love, which is good, and consequently means heaven, and in the highest sense the Lord, 795, 796, 2722, 4210, 6435, 8327, and 'the mountain of God' means Divine Truth springing from the Divine Good of the Lord's Divine Love, 8758. For the Lord is called 'God' in the Word by virtue of Divine Truth, and 'Jehovah' by virtue of Divine Good, 2769, 2807, 2822, 3921(end), 4295, 4402, 7010, 7268, 8192, 8301, 8988, 9167. This is why the words the mountain of God are used.

[2] The fact that 'Mount Sinai' means the law or Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good, and so means the Word, and in the highest sense the Lord, is clear in David,

The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped [rain] before God. This Sinai [trembled] before God, the God of Israel. The chariots of God are myriad on myriad, 1 thousands of peacemakers; the Lord is within them, Sinai is within the sanctuary. Psalms 68:8, 17.

'The earth' and 'the heavens' are the external and the internal dimensions of the Church, see 1733, 2117, 2118 (end), 3355, 4535, and 'a chariot' is doctrinal teachings, 2760, 5321, 8146, 8148, 8215, so that 'the chariots of God' are matters of doctrine or God's truths as they exist in heaven. From all this it is evident that 'this Sinai before God, the God of Israel' and 'Sinai within the sanctuary' mean the law or Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good, and in the highest sense the Lord in heaven. In the Book of Judges,

O Jehovah, when You went forth from Seir, when You set out from the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens also dropped, the clouds indeed dropped water, the mountains flowed down before Jehovah, this Sinai before Jehovah. Judges 5:4-5.

'This Sinai' again stands for Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good. Similarly in Moses,

Jehovah came from Sinai, and dawned from Seir upon them; He shone from Mount Paran, and came out of myriads of holiness. From His right hand came a fiery law for them. Deuteronomy 33:2.
