出埃及记第24章

学习

   

1 耶和华对摩西说：你和亚伦、拿答、亚比户，并以色列长老中的七十人，都要上到我这里来，远远的下拜。

2 惟独你可以亲近耶和华；他们却不可亲近；百姓也不可和你一同上来。

3 摩西下山，将耶和华的命令典章都述说与百姓听。众百姓齐声说：耶和华所吩咐的，我们都必遵行。

4 摩西将耶和华的命令都写上。清早起来，在山下筑一座坛，按以色列十二支派立十二根柱子，

5 又打发以色列人中的少年人去献燔祭，又向耶和华献牛为平安祭。

6 摩西将血一半盛在盆中，一半洒在坛上；

7 又将约书念给百姓听。他们说：耶和华所吩咐的，我们都必遵行。

8 摩西将血洒在百姓身上，说：你看！这是立约的血，是耶和华按这一切话与你们立约的凭据。

9 摩西、亚伦、拿答、亚比户，并以色列长老中的七十人，都上了山。

10 他们看见以色列的神，他脚下彷佛有平铺的蓝宝石，如同天色明净。

11 他的手不加害在以色列的尊者身上。他们观看神；他们又吃又喝。

12 耶和华对摩西说：你上山到我这里来，住在这里，我要将石版并我所写的律法和诫命赐给你，使你可以教训百姓。

13 摩西和他的帮手约书亚起来，上了神的山。

14 摩西对长老说：你们在这里等着，等到我们再回来，有亚伦、户珥与你们同在。凡有争讼的，都可以就近他们去。

15 摩西上山，有云彩把山遮盖。

16 耶和华的荣耀停於西乃山；云彩遮盖山六天，第七天他从云中召摩西。

17 耶和华的荣耀在山顶上，在以色列人眼前，形状如烈火。

18 摩西进入云中上山，在山上四十昼夜。

Arcana Coelestia#9383

9383. 'All Jehovah's words and all the judgements' means things in the Word which are rules of life in the spiritual state and in the natural state. This is clear from the meaning of 'Jehovah's words' as things in the Word which are rules of life in the spiritual state, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'the judgements' as things in the Word which are rules of life in the natural state. The terms 'in the spiritual state' and 'in the natural state' are used because in general every person has two states. The first is peculiar and proper to the internal man and is called the spiritual state, the second is peculiar and proper to the external man and is called the natural state. The internal man's state is called spiritual because it is conditioned by truths belonging to the light of heaven, and by good belonging to the heat of that light, which is love. That light is called spiritual light because it enlightens the understanding part of the mind, and that heat is called spiritual heat, which is love and warms the will part. This is the reason why the internal man's state is called spiritual. But the external man's state is called natural because it is conditioned by truths belonging to the light of the world and by good belonging to the heat of this light, which too is love, but love for such things as exist in the world, for all heat of life is love. This is the reason why the external man's state is called natural. Rules of life in the natural state are meant by 'the judgements', while rules of life in the spiritual state are meant by 'Jehovah's words'.

[2] Both of these are derived from the Word because all the rules of life are there. They hold Life itself within them, for in the Word resides Divine Truth which has emanated and continues to emanate from the Lord, who is Life itself. From this it follows that all things in the Word are rules of life, and also that all things there have reference to life, as may be seen from those two commandments on which all things in the Word are founded, and about which the following is recorded in Matthew,

Jesus said, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. The second is like it, You shall love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments the Law and the Prophets depend. Matthew 22:37-40; Mark 12:29-31.

'Loving God and the neighbour' is a rule of life because the all of life belongs to love, so much so that without love life is not life, and the character of the love determines that of the life. The Law and the Prophets are the whole Word.

Exodus第24章

学习

   

1 He said to Moses, "Come up to Yahweh, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship from a distance.

2 Moses alone shall come near to Yahweh, but they shall not come near, neither shall the people go up with him."

3 Moses came and told the people all the words of Yahweh, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, "All the words which Yahweh has spoken will we do."

4 Moses wrote all the words of Yahweh, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

5 He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to Yahweh.

6 Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

7 He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, "All that Yahweh has spoken will we do, and be obedient."

8 Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, "Look, this is the blood of the covenant, which Yahweh has made with you concerning all these words."

9 Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.

10 They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies for clearness.

11 He didn't lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.

12 Yahweh said to Moses, "Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the tables of stone with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach them."

13 Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God's Mountain.

14 He said to the elders, "Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can go to them."

15 Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

16 The glory of Yahweh settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

17 The appearance of the glory of Yahweh was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.

18 Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
