1 בחדש השלישי לצאת בני־ישראל מארץ מצרים ביום הזה באו מדבר סיני׃

2 ויסעו מרפידים ויבאו מדבר סיני ויחנו במדבר ויחן־שם ישראל נגד ההר׃

3 ומשה עלה אל־האלהים ויקרא אליו יהוה מן־ההר לאמר כה תאמר לבית יעקב ותגיד לבני ישראל׃

4 אתם ראיתם אשר עשיתי למצרים ואשא אתכם על־כנפי נשרים ואבא אתכם אלי׃

5 ועתה אם־שמוע תשמעו בקלי ושמרתם את־בריתי והייתם לי סגלה מכל־העמים כי־לי כל־הארץ׃

6 ואתם תהיו־לי ממלכת כהנים וגוי קדוש אלה הדברים אשר תדבר אל־בני ישראל׃

7 ויבא משה ויקרא לזקני העם וישם לפניהם את כל־הדברים האלה אשר צוהו יהוה׃

8 ויענו כל־העם יחדו ויאמרו כל אשר־דבר יהוה נעשה וישב משה את־דברי העם אל־יהוה׃

9 ויאמר יהוה אל־משה הנה אנכי בא אליך בעב העןן בעבור ישמע העם בדברי עמך וגם־בך יאמינו לעולם ויגד משה את־דברי העם אל־יהוה׃

10 ויאמר יהוה אל־משה לך אל־העם וקדשתם היום ומחר וכבסו שמלתם׃

11 והיו נכנים ליום השלישי כי ביום השלישי ירד יהוה לעיני כל־העם על־הר סיני׃

12 והגבלת את־העם סביב לאמר השמרו לכם עלות בהר ונגע בקצהו כל־הנגע בהר מות יומת׃

13 לא־תגע בו יד כי־סקול יסקל או־ירה יירה אם־בהמה אם־איש לא יחיה במשך היבל המה יעלו בהר׃

14 וירד משה מן־ההר אל־העם ויקדש את־העם ויכבסו שמלתם׃

15 ויאמר אל־העם היו נכנים לשלשת ימים אל־תגשו אל־אשה׃

16 ויהי ביום השלישי בהית הבקר ויהי קלת וברקים ועןן כבד על־ההר וקל שפר חזק מאד ויחרד כל־העם אשר במחנה׃

17 ויוצא משה את־העם לקראת האלהים מן־המחנה ויתיצבו בתחתית ההר׃

18 והר סיני עשן כלו מפני אשר ירד עליו יהוה באש ויעל עשנו כעשן הכבשן ויחרד כל־ההר מאד׃

19 ויהי* קול השופר הולך וחזק מאד משה ידבר והאלהים יעננו בקול׃

20 וירד יהוה על־הר סיני אל־ראש ההר ויקרא יהוה למשה אל־ראש ההר ויעל משה׃

21 ויאמר יהוה אל־משה רד העד בעם פן־יהרסו אל־יהוה לראות ונפל ממנו רב׃

22 וגם הכהנים הנגשים אל־יהוה יתקדשו פן־יפרץ בהם יהוה׃

23 ויאמר משה אל־יהוה לא־יוכל העם לעלת אל־הר סיני כי־אתה העדתה בנו לאמר הגבל את־ההר וקדשתו׃

24 ויאמר אליו יהוה לך־רד ועלית אתה ואהרן עמך והכהנים והעם אל־יהרסו לעלת אל־יהוה פן־יפרץ־בם׃

25 וירד משה אל־העם ויאמר אלהם׃ ס

8750. 'In the third month' means fullness of state. This is clear from the meaning of 'month' as state, for all periods of time, such as days weeks, months, or years, mean states, 2788; and from the meaning of 'three' or 'third' as that which is complete, dealt with in 1825, 2788, 4495, 5159, 7715, so that 'in the third month' means in fullness of state.

[2] What fullness of state is must be mentioned briefly. Every state has its beginning, period of development, and end. When a state reaches its end it is full or complete, and it is called fullness. In the next life all things are measured by the stages of development that their states undergo, and by the consecutive changes of those things from beginning to end, just as in the world they are measured by periods of time. This is so because in heaven there are no periods of time; instead there are states. The reason for this is that in the next life the Sun, which is the Lord, remains constantly in its place. It does not make apparent daily advances like the sun in the world, dividing the day into morning, midday, evening, and night, nor apparent yearly advances, dividing the year into spring, summer, autumn, and winter. So it is that in heaven there are no periods of time, but states instead. However, since within the inmost sphere of heaven a kind of advance or development takes place in accordance with the Divine heavenly form, which no one is capable of perceiving, and since the states of all in heaven change in accordance with that process of development, angels there pass through a cycle of states in which the good of love, the truth of faith, or obscurity in respect of both predominates. From this there arises the correspondence of states in heaven with periods of time in the world, that is to say, the state of the good of love with morning, the state of the truth of faith with midday, and the state of obscurity with evening and night. Furthermore the heat too that is radiated by the sun there is the good of love, while the light radiated by the sun there is the truth of faith. From this also there arises the correspondence of heat in the world with love, which is for that reason called spiritual heat, and of light in the world with faith, which is for this reason called spiritual light.

[3] In general there are two states of life - the state of thought, a state which belongs to the understanding; and the state of affection, a state which belongs to the will. The state of thought belonging to the understanding is connected with the truth of faith. This state is one that is enlightened by light from the Sun of heaven, which is the Lord, even as this light is the source of light in the human understanding. But the state of affection belonging to the will is connected with the good of charity, even as the heat radiating from the Sun in heaven, which is the Lord, is the source of heat in the will, which is love. From all this one may now see the nature of the states and their changes in the next life, and what is implied by fullness of state, meant by 'the third month'. The state to which fullness is ascribed here is the first state which those belonging to the spiritual Church underwent; for these people undergo two states, the first being when the Lord leads them by means of truth, the second when He does so by means of good, see 8643, 8648, 8658, 8685, 8690, 8701. Here the fullness of the first state is meant, the state which has been described in what has gone before; now the second state is described.

Exodus 19

Дослідження

   

1 In the third month after the children of Israel had gone forth out of the land of Egypt, on that same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.

2 When they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mountain.

3 Moses went up to God, and Yahweh called to him out of the mountain, saying, "This is what you shall tell the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:

4 'You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you to myself.

5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice, and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own possession from among all peoples; for all the earth is mine;

6 and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation.' These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel."

7 Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which Yahweh commanded him.

8 All the people answered together, and said, "All that Yahweh has spoken we will do." Moses reported the words of the people to Yahweh.

9 Yahweh said to Moses, "Behold, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever." Moses told the words of the people to Yahweh.

10 Yahweh said to Moses, "Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments,

11 and be ready against the third day; for on the third day Yahweh will come down in the sight of all the people on Mount Sinai.

12 You shall set bounds to the people all around, saying, 'Be careful that you don't go up onto the mountain, or touch its border. Whoever touches the mountain shall be surely put to death.

13 No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot through; whether it is animal or man, he shall not live.' When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mountain."

14 Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.

15 He said to the people, "Be ready by the third day. Don't have sexual relations with a woman."

16 It happened on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain, and the sound of an exceedingly loud trumpet; and all the people who were in the camp trembled.

17 Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the lower part of the mountain.

18 Mount Sinai, all it, smoked, because Yahweh descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.

19 When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.

20 Yahweh came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. Yahweh called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

21 Yahweh said to Moses, "Go down, warn the people, lest they break through to Yahweh to gaze, and many of them perish.

22 Let the priests also, who come near to Yahweh, sanctify themselves, lest Yahweh break forth on them."

23 Moses said to Yahweh, "The people can't come up to Mount Sinai, for you warned us, saying, 'Set bounds around the mountain, and sanctify it.'"

24 Yahweh said to him, "Go down and you shall bring Aaron up with you, but don't let the priests and the people break through to come up to Yahweh, lest he break forth on them."

25 So Moses went down to the people, and told them.
