1 Vida pak lid, že by prodléval Mojžíš sstoupiti s hůry, sebrali se proti Aronovi a řekli jemu: Vstaň, udělej nám bohy, kteříž by šli před námi; nebo Mojžíšovi, muži tomu, kterýž vyvedl nás z země Egyptské, nevíme, co se přihodilo.

2 I řekl jim Aron: Odejměte náušnice zlaté, kteréž jsou na uších žen vašich, synů vašich i dcer vašich, a přineste ke mně.

3 Tedy strhl všecken lid náušnice zlaté, kteréž byly na uších jejich, a přinesli k Aronovi.

4 Kteréžto vzav z rukou jejich, dal je do formy, a udělal z nich tele slité. I řekli: Tito jsou bohové tvoji, Izraeli, kteříž tě vyvedli z země Egyptské.

5 Což vida Aron, vzdělal oltář před ním. I volal Aron, a řekl: Slavnost Hospodinova zítra bude.

6 A nazejtří vstavše velmi ráno, obětovali zápaly, a přivedli oběti pokojné. I sedl lid, aby jedl a pil, potom vstali, aby hrali.

7 Mluvil pak Hospodin k Mojžíšovi: Jdi, sstup, nebo porušil se lid tvůj, kterýž jsi vyvedl z země Egyptské.

8 Sešli brzo s cesty, kterouž jsem přikázal jim. Udělali sobě tele slité, a klaněli se mu, a obětovali jemu, řkouce: Tito jsou bohové tvoji, Izraeli, kteříž tě vyvedli z země Egyptské.

9 Řekl také Hospodin Mojžíšovi: Viděl jsem lid tento, a aj, lid jest tvrdé šíje.

10 Protož nyní nech mne, abych v hněvě prchlivosti své vyhladil je, tebe pak učiním v národ veliký.

11 I modlil se Mojžíš Hospodinu Bohu svému, a řekl: Pročež, ó Hospodine, rozněcuje se prchlivost tvá na lid tvůj, kterýž jsi vyvedl z země Egyptské v síle veliké a v ruce mocné?

12 A proč mají mluviti Egyptští, řkouce: Lstivě je vyvedl, aby zmordoval je na horách, a aby vyhladil je se svrchku země? Odvrať se od hněvu prchlivosti své, a lituj zlého, kteréžs uložil uvésti na lid svůj.

13 Rozpomeň se na Abrahama, Izáka a Izraele, služebníky své, jimž jsi zapřisáhl skrze sebe samého a mluvil jsi jim: Rozmnožím símě vaše jako hvězdy nebeské, a všecku zemi tuto, o kteréž jsem mluvil, dám semeni vašemu, a dědičně obdržíte ji na věky.

14 I litoval Hospodin zlého, kteréž řekl, že učiní lidu svému.

15 A obrátiv se Mojžíš, sstoupil s hůry, dvě dsky svědectví maje v rukou svých, dsky po obou stranách psané; s jedné i s druhé strany byly popsané.

16 A dsky ty dílo Boží byly; písmo také písmo Boží bylo vyryté na dskách.

17 Uslyšev pak Jozue hlas lidu křičícího, řekl Mojžíšovi: Hřmot boje v táboru jest.

18 Kterýžto odpověděl: Není to křik vítězících, ani křik poražených, hlas zpívajících já slyším.

19 I stalo se, když se přiblížil k stanům, že uzřel tele a tance. A rozhněvav se Mojžíš velmi, povrhl z rukou svých dsky, a rozrazil je pod Horou.

20 Vzal také tele, kteréž byli udělali, a spálil je v ohni, a setřel je až na prach, a vsypav na vodu, dal píti synům Izraelským.

21 A řekl Mojžíš Aronovi: Coť učinil lid tento, že jsi uvedl na něj hřích veliký?

22 Odpověděl Aron: Nehněvej se, pane můj. Ty víš, že lid tento k zlému nakloněn jest.

23 Nebo řekli mi: Udělej nám bohy, kteříž by šli před námi; nebo Mojžíšovi, muži tomu, kterýž vyvedl nás z země Egyptské, nevíme, co se stalo.

24 Jimž jsem odpověděl: Kdo má zlato, strhněte je s sebe. I dali mi, a uvrhl jsem je do ohně, a udělalo se to tele.

25 A vida Mojžíš lid obnažený, že obnažil jej Aron ku potupě před nepřátely, kteříž povstati měli proti nim,

26 Stoje v bráně táboru, řekl: Kdo jest Hospodinův, přistup ke mně. I shromáždili se k němu všickni synové Léví.

27 Jimž řekl: Tak praví Hospodin Bůh Izraelský: Připaš jeden každý meč svůj k boku svému; přejděte sem i tam od brány táboru k bráně, a zabí jeden každý bratra svého, a každý přítele svého i bližního svého.

28 I učinili synové Léví podlé řeči Mojžíšovy, a padlo jich v ten den z lidu na tři tisíce mužů.

29 Nebo řekl byl Mojžíš: Posvěťtež dnes rukou svých Hospodinu, jeden každý na synu svém a na bratru svém, aby vám dal dnes požehnání.

30 A když bylo nazejtří, řekl Mojžíš lidu: Vy jste zhřešili hříchem velikým. Protož nyní vstoupím k Hospodinu, zda bych ho ukrotil pro hřích váš.

31 Tedy navrátiv se Mojžíš k Hospodinu, řekl: Prosím, zhřešilť jest lid ten hříchem velikým; nebo udělali sobě bohy zlaté.

32 Nyní pak neb odpusť hřích jejich, a pakli nic, vymaž mne, prosím, z knihy své, kteroužs psal.

33 I řekl Hospodin Mojžíšovi: Kdo zhřešil proti mně, toho vymaži z knihy své.

34 Protož nyní jdi, veď lid tento, kamž jsem rozkázal tobě. Aj, anděl můj půjde před tebou; v den pak navštívení mého navštívím i na nich hřích jejich.

35 I bil Hospodin lid, proto že učinili tele, kteréž byl udělal Aron.

7439. 'Send My people away and let them serve Me' means that they should leave those who belong to the spiritual Church, in order that these may worship their God in freedom. This is clear from the meaning of 'sending away' as leaving; from the representation of the children of Israel, to whom 'My people' refers here, as those who belong to the spiritual Church, dealt with in 6426, 6637, 6862, 6868, 7075, 7062, 7198, 7201, 7215, 7223; and from the meaning of 'serving Jehovah' as worshipping. That they should worship in freedom is evident from what follows in verses 21-23, and also from the consideration that all worship which is truly worship must take place in freedom.

[2] The children of Israel are called Jehovah's people not because they were any better than other nations but because they represented Jehovah's people, that is, those who belonged to the Lord's spiritual kingdom. The fact that they were no better than other nations is evident from their life in the wilderness, where they did not believe at all in Jehovah. Instead they believed in their hearts in the gods of the Egyptians, as is clear from the golden calf which they made for themselves and which they called their gods who had led them out of the land of Egypt, Exodus 32:8. The same fact is also evident from their life subsequently in the land of Canaan, dealt with in the historical sections of the Word; and the things said about them in the prophetical parts and finally by the Lord make it evident too.

[3] This also explains why few of them are in heaven; for the destiny they have met in the next life has been determined by the way they lived. Refuse to believe therefore that they have been chosen for heaven ahead of others. Those who believe that these people have been chosen for heaven ahead of others do not believe that each one's life remains with him. Nor do they believe that a person has to be made ready for heaven throughout his entire life in the world, and that although this is accomplished by the Lord's mercy, people are not admitted into heaven by mercy alone regardless of the life they have led in the world. The kind of notion they have of heaven and the Lord's mercy is the result of teachings about faith alone and salvation by it without good works; for such people are unconcerned about life. Hence they also believe that evils can be purged away like dirt with water, and so believe that a person can be brought in an instant into leading a life of goodness and consequently be admitted into heaven. Such people do not know that if the evil were deprived of their life of evil they would have no life whatever, and also that if those who lead an evil life were admitted into heaven it would feel like hell to them, and the further they went into heaven the worse would that feeling become.

[4] All this now makes it clear that the Israelites and Jews had not by any means been chosen; they were simply accepted in order that they might represent the things of heaven. And this they had to do in the land of Canaan because the Lord's Church had existed there since most ancient times and all places there had consequently become representative of heavenly and Divine realities. Then also the Word could be written, in which the names would serve to mean such things as belong to the Lord and His kingdom.

6426. 'From there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel' means that from this springs all the goodness and truth which the spiritual kingdom possesses. This is clear from the meaning of 'the shepherd' as one who leads to the good of charity by means of the truth of faith, dealt with in 343, 3795, 6044 (here in the highest sense, since it has reference to the Lord, goodness and truth themselves are meant); from the meaning of 'the stone' as truth, dealt with in 1298, 3720, 3769, 3771, 3773, 3789, 3798; and from the representation of 'Israel' as the spiritual Church, dealt with in 3305, 4286, for 'Israel' is spiritual good or the good of truth, 4286, 4598, 5801, 5803, 5806, 5812, 5817, 5819, 5826, 5833. And since the good of truth is the essential element of the spiritual Church, 'Israel' means the spiritual Church, and in the highest sense the Lord's spiritual kingdom. From all this it is evident that 'from there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel' means that from this springs all the goodness and truth which the Lord's spiritual kingdom possesses.

[2] The reason why in the highest sense 'the stone of Israel' means the Lord with respect to the truth that His spiritual kingdom possesses is that in general 'the stone' means the temple, and specifically the foundation on which it stands. 'The temple' in turn means the Lord's Divine Human, as is clear in John 2:19, 21, and so does its 'foundation' in Matthew 21:42, 44, and in Isaiah 28:16. This meaning of 'the stone' in the highest sense - the Lord in respect to Divine Truth which His spiritual kingdom possesses - is evident in David,

The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner. This has been done by Jehovah; it is marvellous in our eyes. Psalms 118:22-23.

'The stone' here is the Lord, as is made clear in Luke,

It is written, The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner. Whoever falls onto that stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder. Luke 20:17-18.

These things are spoken by the Lord regarding Himself. In Isaiah,

He is your fear, and He is your dread; for He will be a sanctuary, though He will be a stone to strike against and a rock to stumble over 1 for both houses of Israel. Many among them will trip, and fall, and be broken to pieces. Isaiah 8:13-15.

Here the Lord is referred to. In the same prophet,

The Lord Jehovih said, Behold I [am He who] will lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, a tested stone, a precious corner-stone, surely founded. He who believes will not be hasty. Isaiah 28:16.

In Zechariah,

Jehovah Zebaoth will visit His flock, the house of Judah, and will place them as His glorious horse 2 in battle. From Him comes the corner-stone, from Him the tent-peg, from Him the battle-bow. Zechariah 10:3-4.

[3] In Daniel,

You were watching, until a stone was cut out, not by means of hands, and it struck the statue on its feet, which were iron and clay, and smashed them to pieces. The stone that struck the statue became a great rock and filled the whole earth. The God of heaven will cause a kingdom to arise that will never be destroyed, and His kingdom will not be left to other people; it will crush and consume all those kingdoms, but will itself stand for ever. Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the rock, not by means of hands, and it smashed the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold . . . Daniel 2:34-35, 44-45.

Here 'the stone' is used in the highest sense to mean the Lord, and in the relative sense to mean His spiritual kingdom. When it says that 'the stone was cut out of the rock' the meaning is that it came out of the truth of faith, for the truth of faith is meant in the Word by 'rock'. And because the truth of faith is meant by 'the stone' and 'the rock', the Lord's spiritual kingdom is also what is meant, since the truth of faith and good ensuing from this truth prevail in that kingdom. Something similar is also meant by 'the stone' on which Jacob slept and which he afterwards set up as a pillar, described as follows,

Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, Surely Jehovah is in this place and I did not know it. And he was afraid and said, How awesome is this place! This is nothing other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven. And in the morning Jacob rose up early, and took the stone which he had placed as his headrest, and placed it as a pillar and poured oil on the top of it. He said, This stone which I have placed as a pillar will be God's house. Genesis 28:16-18, 22.

The fact that by 'the stone' the ancients understood the Lord in the highest sense and His spiritual kingdom in the relative sense is also plain to see in Joshua,

Joshua erected the stone under the oak which was in Jehovah's sanctuary. And Joshua said to all the people, Behold, this stone will be a witness to us, for it has heard all the sayings of Jehovah which He spoke to us. And it shall be a witness against you, lest you deny your God. Joshua 24:26, 17.
