Exodo 19

Студија

   

1 Sa ikatlong buwan, pagkatapos na ang mga anak ni Israel ay makaalis sa lupain ng Egipto, ay dumating sila ng araw ding yaon sa ilang ng Sinai.

2 At nang sila'y umalis sa Rephidim, at dumating sa ilang ng Sinai, ay humantong sila sa ilang; at doo'y humantong ang Israel sa harap ng bundok.

3 At si Moises ay lumapit sa Dios, at tinawag ng Panginoon siya mula sa bundok, na sinasabi, Ganito mo sasabihin sa sangbahayan ni Jacob, at sasaysayin sa mga anak ni Israel.

4 Inyong nakita ang aking ginawa sa mga Egipcio, at kung paanong dinala ko kayo sa mga pakpak ng agila, at kayo'y inilapit ko sa akin din.

5 Kaya't ngayon, kung tunay na inyong susundin ang aking tinig, at iingatan ang aking tipan, ay magiging isang tanging kayamanan nga kayo sa akin, na higit sa lahat ng bayan: sapagka't ang buong lupa ay akin;

6 At kayo'y magiging isang kaharian ng mga saserdote sa akin, at isang banal na bansa. Ito ang mga salita na inyong sasalitaan sa mga anak ni Israel.

7 At dumating si Moises at tinawag ang mga matanda sa bayan, at ipinahayag sa harap nila ang lahat ng salitang ito na iniutos ng Panginoon sa kaniya.

8 At ang buong bayan ay sumagot na magkakaisa, at nagsabi, Yaong lahat na sinalita ng Panginoon ay aming gagawin. At ipinagbigay alam ni Moises ang mga salita ng bayan sa Panginoon.

9 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Narito ako'y naparirito sa iyo sa isang salimuot na ulap upang marinig ng bayan pagka ako'y magsasalita sa iyo, at paniwalaan ka rin naman nila magpakailan man. At sinalita ni Moises ang mga salita ng bayan sa Panginoon.

10 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Pumaroon ka sa bayan at papagbanalin mo sila ngayon at bukas at labhan nila ang kanilang mga damit,

11 At humanda sa ikatlong araw: sapagka't sa ikatlong araw ay bababa ang Panginoon sa paningin ng buong bayan sa ibabaw ng bundok ng Sinai.

12 At lalagyan mo ng mga hangganan ang bayan sa palibot, na iyong sasabihin, Magingat kayo, na kayo'y huwag sumampa sa bundok, o sumalang sa hangganan: sinomang sumalang sa bundok ay papatayin na walang pagsala:

13 Walang kamay na hihipo sa kaniya, kundi, siya'y tunay na babatuhin, o papanain; maging hayop o tao ay hindi mabubuhay: pagka ang pakakak ay tumunog ng maluwat ay sasampa sila sa bundok.

14 At bumaba si Moises sa bayan mula sa bundok, at pinakabanal ang bayan, at sila'y naglaba ng kanilang mga damit.

15 At kaniyang sinabi sa bayan, humanda kayo sa ikatlong araw; huwag kayong sumiping sa babae.

16 At nangyari ng ikatlong araw, ng umaga, na kumulog at kumidlat, at may isang salimuot na ulap sa ibabaw ng bundok, at ang tunog ng pakakak ay napakalakas; at ang buong bayan na nasa kampamento ay nanginig.

17 At inilabas ni Moises ang bayan sa kampamento upang salubungin ang Dios; at sila'y tumayo sa paanan ng bundok.

18 At ang buong bundok ng Sinai ay umuusok, sapagka't ang Panginoon ay bumaba sa ibabaw niyaon na nasa apoy: at ang usok niyaon ay napaiilanglang na parang usok ng isang hurno, at ang buong bundok ay umuugang mainam.

19 At nang lumalakas ng lumalakas ang tunog ng pakakak ay nagsasalita si Moises, at sinasagot siya ng Dios sa pamamagitan ng tinig.

20 At ang Panginoon ay bumaba sa ibabaw ng bundok ng Sinai, sa taluktok ng bundok; at tinawag ng Panginoon si Moises sa taluktok ng bundok; at si Moises ay sumampa.

21 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Bumaba ka, pagbilinan mo ang bayan, baka sila'y lumagpas upang makita ang Panginoon, at mamatay ang karamihan sa kanila.

22 At gayon din ang mga saserdote, na lumalapit sa Panginoon ay papagbanalin mo, baka ang Panginoon ay hindi makapagpigil sa kanila.

23 At sinabi ni Moises sa Panginoon, Ang baya'y hindi makasasampa sa bundok ng Sinai: sapagka't iyong pinagbilinan kami, na iyong sinabi, lagyan mo ng hangganan sa palibot ang bundok, at iyong ariing banal.

24 At sinabi ng Panginoon sa kaniya, Yumaon ka, bumaba ka; at ikaw ay sasampa, ikaw at si Aaron na iyong kasama: nguni't ang mga saserdote at ang bayan ay huwag lumampas sa mga hangganan upang lumapit sa Panginoon, baka siya ay hindi makapagpigil sa kanila.

25 Sa gayo'y bumaba si Moises sa bayan at isinaysay sa kanila.

8763. 'You have seen what I did to the Egyptians' means remembrance of all that happened to the evil who engaged in molestation. This is clear from the meaning of 'you have seen' as remembrance; and from the representation of 'the Egyptians' as the evil who engaged in molestation, dealt with in 7097, 7107, 7110, 7126, 7142, 7317. From all this it is evident that 'you have seen what I did to the Egyptians' means remembrance of all that happened to those who engaged in molestation.

Arcana Coelestia # 7090

7090. 'And said to Pharaoh' means an admonition [from them] to those who are opposed to the Church's truths. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' - since it came by Divine command from Moses and Aaron - as an admonition, as also in 7033; and from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as factual knowledge that is opposed to the Church's truths, dealt with in 6651, 6673, 6683, thus people who are opposed to them. Here and in what follows the subject is those belonging to the spiritual Church who were saved through the Lord's Coming into the world but who before His Coming had been held back on the lower earth, where they were harassed by falsities, that is, by those from hell steeped in falsities stemming from evil. That lower earth is situated below the soles of the feet and is surrounded by hells - in front of it those who have falsified truths and adulterated forms of good; to the right those who pervert Divine order and thereby strive to obtain power; to the rear the evil genii who, motivated by self-love, have secretly devised evil against their neighbour; and deep down underneath those who have rejected the Divine with utter contempt and worshipped nature, and in so doing have banished from themselves everything spiritual. Such are the hells surrounding those on the lower earth, where before the Lord's Coming people belonging to the spiritual Church were held in safe keeping. Though they were molested there the Lord protected them, and they were brought into heaven with the Lord when He rose again. See what has been stated and shown already regarding these people in 6854, 6865, 6914, 6945, 7035.

[2] The lower earth where those who belonged to the spiritual Church were held in safe keeping up to the Lord's Coming is mentioned a number of times in the Word, as in Isaiah,

Sing, O heavens, for Jehovah has done [it]! Shout, you lower parts of the earth! Be filled, O mountains, with singing, O forest and every tree in it! For Jehovah has redeemed Jacob, and made Himself glorious in Israel. Isaiah 44:23.

This refers to those on the lower earth, to the fact that they were saved by the Lord. 'Jacob' and 'Israel' are the spiritual Church, 'Jacob' being the external Church, 'Israel' the internal Church, 3305, 4286, 6426. In Ezekiel,

I will cause you to go down with those going down to the pit, to the people of old, 1 and I will cause you to dwell in the land of the lower ones in desolations. Ezekiel 16:20.

In the same prophet,

. . . to the lower earth in the midst of the sons of men, to those going down to the pit. Consequently all the trees of Eden, the choicest and the most excellent of Lebanon, all those drinking water, will comfort themselves on the lower earth. Ezekiel 31:14, 16.

This refers to the lower earth where those who belonged to the spiritual Church were.

[3] At the present day too those belonging to the Church who have filled their minds with worldly and also earthly ideas and have acted in such a way that the truths of faith have become tied up with them are sent down to the lower earth, where they likewise have battles to fight. These battles continue until their worldly and earthly ideas have been separated from the truths of faith and other notions have been introduced, of such a nature that they cannot be linked together any longer. Once this has been accomplished those people are raised from there into heaven; for until such ideas of theirs have been removed they cannot possibly be in the company of angels, since those ideas are full of darkness and defilement that do not accord with the light and purity of heaven. Those worldly and earthly ideas cannot be separated and removed except by means of battles against falsities, battles which take place in the following manner: Those on that lower earth are molested by illusions and by falsities based on them which emanate from inhabitants of the surrounding hells; but the Lord employs heaven to rebut those illusions and falsities and at the same time to introduce truths. These truths seem to reside with those undergoing the conflicts.

[4] All this being so, the spiritual Church ought to be spoken of as a militant Church. But at the present day it is rarely militant with anyone in the world; for while a member of the Church is living in the world he does not experience conflict, because of the wicked crowded around him and because of the weakness of the flesh in which he lives. In the next life a person may be held firmly by the bonds of conscience, but not so in the world, for if in the world he is subjected to any degree of despair, as normally happens to those undergoing conflicts, he instantly breaks those bonds. And if he breaks them he gives in; and if he gives in he is done for so far as his salvation is concerned. This explains why the Lord allows few within the Church at the present day to enter into battles against falsities on behalf of truths; those battles are spiritual temptations. See also what has been shown already regarding the lower earth and vastations that take place there, in 4728, 4940-4951, 6854.
