出埃及記第32章

学习

   

1 百姓見摩西遲延不,就大家聚集到亞倫那裡,對他起來!為我們像,可以在我們前面引路;因為領我們埃及的那個摩西我們知道他遭了甚麼事。

2 亞倫對他們:你們去摘下你們妻子、兒女耳上的環,拿來給我。

3 百姓就都摘下他們耳上的環,拿來給亞倫

4 亞倫從他們裡接過來,鑄了一隻犢,用雕刻的器具做成。他們就以色列阿,這是領你出埃及

5 亞倫見,就在牛犢面前築,且宣告:明日要向耶和華守節。

6 次日清,百姓起來獻燔祭和平安祭,就起來玩耍。

7 耶和華吩咐摩西去罷,因為你的百姓,就是你從埃及領出來的,已經敗壞了。

8 他們快快偏離了我所吩咐的道,為自己鑄了一隻犢,向他下拜獻祭,以色列阿,這就是領你出埃及

9 耶和華摩西:我這百姓真是硬著頸項的百姓。

10 你且由著我,我要向他們發烈怒,將他們滅絕,使你的後裔成為國。

11 摩西便懇求耶和華─他的耶和華阿,你為甚麼向你的百姓發烈怒呢?這百姓是你用力和能的埃及領出來的。

12 為甚麼使埃及人議論他領他們出去,是要降禍與他們,把他們殺在中,將他們從地上除滅?求你意,不發你的烈怒,後悔,不降禍與你的百姓。

13 求你記念你的僕人亞伯拉罕以撒以色列。你曾指著自己起誓:我必使你們的後裔像上的那樣多,並且我所應許的這全,必你們的後裔,他們要永遠承受為業。

14 於是耶和華後悔,不把所的禍降與他的百姓。

15 摩西轉身裡拿著兩塊法版。這版是兩面的,這面那面有字,

16 工作,字是的,刻在版上。

17 約書亞一見百姓呼喊的聲音,就對摩西:在裡有爭戰的聲音。

18 摩西:這不是人打勝仗的聲音,也不是人打敗仗的聲音,我所見的乃是人歌唱的聲音。

19 摩西挨近前就犢,又見人跳舞,便發烈怒,把兩塊版扔在摔碎了,

20 又將他們所鑄的犢用焚燒,磨得粉,撒在面上,叫以色列人喝。

21 摩西亞倫:這百姓向你做了甚麼?你竟使他們陷在罪裡!

22 亞倫:求我不要發烈怒。這百姓專於作惡,是你知道的。

23 他們對我:你為我們像,可以在我們前面引路;因為領我們埃及的那個摩西我們知道他遭了甚麼事。

24 我對他們:凡有環的可以摘下來,他們就了我。我把環扔在中,這犢便出來了。

25 摩西見百姓放肆(亞倫縱容他們,使他們在仇敵中間被譏刺),

26 就站在中,:凡屬耶和華的,都要到我這裡來!於是利未的子孫都到他那裡聚集

27 他對他們耶和華以色列的這樣:你們各把刀跨在腰間,在中往來,從這到那,各殺他的弟兄與同伴並鄰舍。

28 利未的子孫照摩西的行了。那一天百姓中被殺的約有

29 摩西今天你們要自潔,歸耶和華為聖,各攻擊他的兒子和弟兄,使耶和華賜福與你們。

30 到了第二天,摩西對百姓:你們犯了。我如今要上耶和華那裡去,或者可以為你們贖罪

31 摩西回到耶和華那裡,:唉!這百姓犯了罪,為自己做了像。

32 倘或你肯赦免他們的……不然,求你從你所的冊上塗抹我的名。

33 耶和華摩西:誰得罪我,我就從我的冊上塗抹誰的名。

34 現在你去領這百姓,往我所告訴你的地方去,我的使者必在你前面引路;只是到我追討的日子,我必追討他們的

35 耶和華殺百姓的緣故是因他們同亞倫做了犢。

10623. 'Visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the sons and on the sons of sons' means the rejection and condemnation of evils and of a long line of falsities arising from them. This is clear from the meaning of 'visiting' as the casting out and condemnation of evils, dealt with below; from the meaning of 'the fathers' as forms of good, and in the contrary sense evils, dealt with in 3703, 5902, 6050, 10490; and from the meaning of 'the sons' as truths, and in the contrary sense falsities, dealt with in 1147, 10490, so that 'the sons of sons' means a long line of falsities arising from evils. By the casting out and condemnation of evils and of the falsities arising from them the casting out and condemnation of those ruled by such evils and falsities should be understood; for evils and falsities have no existence other than within their subjects 1 , that is, within people. It should be recognized that the falsities of evil are meant by 'the sons' because the fathers from whom they spring mean evils. What falsities of evil and falsities not of evil are, see in the places referred to in 10109.

[2] A person unacquainted with the internal sense of the Word may easily be led to believe that Jehovah visits the iniquity of the fathers on the sons and on the sons of sons, consequently that the sons are going to pay the penalty for their fathers' evils. But this is not the meaning of those words, as is plainly evident from the Divine law that fathers shall not die because of sons, nor sons because of fathers, but each because of his own evil, Deuteronomy 24:16. From this law it is evident that those words are to be understood differently from their literal meaning. The fact that those who are ruled by evils and the long line of falsities arising from them are meant by the fathers, their sons, and their sons' sons, is clear from the internal sense, in which evils and falsities are meant by fathers and sons. Angels - who also see a meaning in the Word when someone in the world reads it - do not understand anything other than this here by fathers and sons. For in heaven, where angels live, there is no knowledge, as there is among people on earth, of what a father is or of what a son is; for nobody there acknowledges anyone to be his father or anyone to be his son. There are no births there as there are in the world. When therefore father and son are mentioned in the Word angels think of spiritual births, which are those of goodness and truth or else of evil and falsity. Consequently they understand forms of good or else evils by fathers, and truths or else falsities by sons, since good is the father of truth and evil is the father of falsity.

[3] The reason why 'being visited' means being cast out and condemned is that this is what follows after evils reach their closing stage and comes before actual condemnation, meant in the Word by the last judgement. For visitation is the examination of a person to discover his true character. But this takes place in the next life, in particular when the individual person goes there from the world, and in general with all at the end of the Church, as stated immediately above in 10622. Regarding visitation, see what has been stated and shown in 6588, 6895, 10509.

脚注:

1. Subject is used to mean something which really exists yet depends for its existence on something prior to itself.
