学习

   

1 Du må ikke udsprede falske ygter. Gør ikke fælles Sag med den, der har Uret, ved at optræde som uretfærdigt Vidne.

2 Du må ikke følge Mængden i, hvad der er ondt, eller i dit Vidnesbyrd for etten tage Hensyn til Mængden, så du bøjer etten.

3 Du må ikke tage Parti for den ringe i hans etssag.

4 Når du træffer din Fjendes Okse eller Æsel løbende løse, skal du bringe dem tilbage til ham.

5 Når du ser din Uvens Æsel segne under sin Byrde, må du ikke lade ham i Stikken, men du skal hjælpe ham med at læsse Byrden af.

6 Du må ikke bøje din fattige Landsmands et i hans etssag.

7 Hold dig fra en uretfærdig Sag; og den, som er uskyldig og har et. må du ikke berøve Livet; nej, du må ikke skaffe den et, som har Uret.

8 Tag ikke mod Bestikkelse, thi Bestikkelse gør den seende blind og fordrejer Sagen for dem, der har et.

9 Undertryk ikke den fremmede; I ved jo, hvorledes den fremmede er til Mode, thi I,var selv fremmede i Ægypten.

10 Seks År igennem skal du tilså dit Land og indsamle dets Afgrøde;

11 men i det syvende skal du lade det hvile og ligge urørt, så at de fattige i dit Folk kan gøre sig til gode dermed, og Markens vilde Dyr kan æde, hvad de levner; ligeså skal du gøre med din Vingård og dine Oliventræer.

12 I seks Dage skal du gøre dit Arbejde, men på den syvende skal du hvile, for at dine Okser og Æsler kan få Hvile og din Trælkvindes Søn og den fremmede hvile ud.

13 Hold eder alt, hvad jeg siger eder, efterrettelig; du må ikke nævne andre Guders Navn, det må ikke høres i din Mund.

14 Tre Gange om Året skal du holde Højtid for mig.

15 Du skal fejre de usyrede Brøds Højtid; i syv Dage skal du spise usyret Brød, som jeg har pålagt dig, på den fastsatte Tid i Abib Måned, thi i den Måned vandrede du ud af Ægypten, Man må ikke stedes for mit Åsyn med tomme Hænder.

16 Fremdeles skal du fejre Højtiden for Høsten, Førstegrøden af dit Arbejde, af hvad du sår i din Mark, og Højtiden for Frugthøsten ved Årets Udgang, når du har bjærget Udbyttet af dit Arbejde hjem fra Marken.

17 Tre Gange om Året skal alle dine Mænd stedes for den Herre HE ENs Åsyn.

18 Du må ikke ofre Blodet af mit Slagtoffer sammen med syret Brød. Fedtet fra min Højtid må ikke gemmes til næste Morgen.

19 Du skal bringe det første, Førstegrøden af din Jord, til HE EN din Guds Hus. Du må ikke koge et Kid i dets Moders Mælk.

20 Se, jeg sender en Engel foran dig for at vogte dig undervejs og føre dig til det Sted, jeg har beredt.

21 Tag dig vel i Vare for ham og adlyd ham; vær ikke genstridig imod ham, thi han skal ikke tilgive eders Overtrædelser, efterdi mit Navn er i ham.

22 Når du adlyder ham og gør alt, hvad jeg siger, vil jeg være dine Fjenders Fjende og dine Modstanderes Modstander,

23 Ja, min Engel skal drage foran dig og føre dig til Amoriterne, Hetiterne, Perizziterne, Kana'anæerne, Hivviterne og Jebusiterne, og jeg vil udrydde dem.

24 Du må ikke tilbede eller dyrke deres Guder eller følge deres Skikke; men du skal nedbryde dem og sønderslå deres Stenstøtter.

25 I skal dyrke HE EN eders Gud, så vil jeg velsigne dit Brød og dit Vand og holde Sygdomme borte fra dig.

26 Utidige Fødsler eller Ufrugtbarhed skal ikke forekomme i dit Land, og dine Dages Mål vil jeg gøre fuldt.

27 Jeg vil sende min ædsel foran dig og bringe Bestyrtelse over alle de Folk, du kommer til, og jeg vil drive alle dine Fjender på Flugt for dig.

28 Jeg vil sende Gedehamse foran dig, og de skal drive Hivviterne, Kana'anæerne og Hetiterne bort foran dig.

29 Men jeg vil ikke drive dem bort foran dig i et og samme År, for at Landet ikke skal lægges øde, og for at Markens vilde Dyr ikke skal tage Overhånd for dig;

30 lidt efter lidt vil jeg drive dem bort foran dig, indtil du bliver så talrig, at du kan tage Landet i Besiddelse.

31 Jeg vil lade dine Landemærker nå fra det røde Hav til Filisternes Hav, fra Ørkenen til Floden, thi jeg giver Landets Indbyggere i eders Hånd, så du kan drive dem bort foran dig.

32 Du må ikke slutte Pagt med dem eller deres Guder.

33 De må ikke blive boende i dit Land, for at de ikke skal forlede dig til Synd imod mig, til at dyrke deres Guder, så det bliver dig til en Snare!

10115. 'You shall burn what is left with fire' means dispensing with them. This is clear from the meaning of 'anything of the flesh and bread that is left' as that which has not been made their own, as above in 10114; and from the meaning of 'burning with fire' as dispensing with, at this point by means of the loves that belong to the human self, thus by means of the evils which go with those loves. For love in both senses is meant by 'fire'; here the love belonging to the self is meant, which is self-love.

Self-love is meant by 'fire', see 1297, 2446, 5071, 5215, 6314, 6832, 7575.

The human self is nothing other than evil, 210, 215, 694, 874-876, 987, 1023, 1044, 3812(end), 5660.

Love belonging to the self is meant here because 'what is left until the morning' means what has not been joined to good, 10114, and what cannot be joined comes not from the Divine but from the self. The fact that this was unclean, and so was evil, is clear in Moses,

Whoever eats what is left till morning shall bear his iniquity; and that soul shall be cut off from his people. Leviticus 19:7-8.

In the same author,

If any of the flesh of the eucharistic sacrifice is eaten at all on the third day, the one offering it will not be accepted, nor will it be imputed to him. It will be an abomination, and the soul that eats of it will bear his iniquity. Leviticus 7:16-18.

The same thing is likewise clear from the statement that what was left of the manna produced worms and became putrid, Exodus 16:20.

Arcana Coelestia#8427

学习本章节

8427. 'And in the morning you will see the glory of Jehovah' means that at the beginning of a new state the arrival of the Lord is going to take place. This is clear from the meaning of 'the morning' as the beginning of a new state, dealt with immediately above in 8426; and from the meaning of 'the glory of Jehovah' as the presence and the arrival of the Lord. The reason why 'the glory' means the presence and the arrival of the Lord is that in the highest sense 'glory' is the Divine Truth which emanates from the Lord; and Divine Truth appears before angels' eyes as the light and splendour from the Sun, which is the Lord. For the meaning of 'the glory' as Divine Truth emanating from the Lord, see 5922, 8267; for its meaning intelligence and wisdom that belong to Divine Truth, 4809; and its consequently meaning the internal sense of the Word, since that sense is Divine Truth in glory, 5922.

[2] It says that in the morning they are going to see the glory of Jehovah because sunrise and its accompanying light (which in heaven brings light to angels' eyes, to both their outward and their inward sight) consequently the presence and arrival of the Lord (who is the Sun of heaven) corresponds to morning time on earth and is meant here by 'the morning'. The light from the sun then, which is Divine Truth emanating from the Lord, and for that reason is the Lord, is 'the glory'. From this it is evident that 'the glory' means the presence and arrival of the Lord. The fact that these are meant by 'the glory' is also evident from a number of places in the Word, such as in Moses,

The cloud covered the mountain, and the glory of Jehovah dwelt over Mount Sinai. And the cloud covered it six days. The sight of the glory of Jehovah was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain, before the eyes of the children of Israel. Exodus 24:15-18.

Plainly, the presence of Jehovah, that is, of the Lord, appearing as a cloud and as fire on the mountain, is here called 'the glory of Jehovah'.

In the same author,

The cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle. Nor could Moses enter the tent of meeting, because the cloud dwelt over it, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle. Exodus 40:34-35.

Here also the Lord's presence, appearing as a cloud, is called 'the glory'.

[3] In the same author,

Moses and Aaron entered the tent of meeting; and they came out and blessed the people. At that time the glory of Jehovah appeared to the whole people. Leviticus 9:23-24.

In the same author,

The glory of Jehovah appeared in the tent of meeting before all the children of Israel. Numbers 14:10-12.

Likewise in Numbers 16:19, 42. In the first Book of Kings,

The cloud filled the house of Jehovah, so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah. 1 Kings 8:10-11.

In John,

The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power, so that no one was able to enter the temple. Revelation 15:8.

In the same book,

He showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. The city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shed light in it; the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. Revelation 21:10-11, 23.

Here 'the glory of God' plainly stands for light from the Lord, which is Divine Truth emanating from Him, and so is the presence of the Lord since the Lord is present in Truth coming from Him.

[4] The fact that 'the glory of Jehovah' means His presence is clear yet again in Moses,

Moses said to Jehovah, Show me, I beg You, Your glory He said to him, I will cause all My goodness to pass by before you. And when My glory passes by, it will happen, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock and cover My hand over you until I have passed by. But when I take My hand away you will see My back parts, and My face will not be seen. Exodus 33:18-end.

Here also 'Jehovah's glory' plainly stands for His presence. In Matthew,

The disciples said to Jesus, Tell us, what will be the sign of Your coming? Jesus said, Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear, and they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and glory. Matthew 24:3, 30.

The subject here is the final period of the former Church and the first of the new. 'The Son of Man' is God's truth emanating from the Lord; 'the clouds of heaven' are the Word in the sense of the letter, and 'power and glory' are the internal sense, thus Divine Truth which will be visible then. 'The Lord's coming' stands for the acceptance of God's truth by those belonging to the new Church and the rejection of it by those belonging to the old Church, see 4060 (end).

[5] The fact that the Lord in respect of Divine Truth is meant by 'the glory' is clear in Isaiah,

The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of Jehovah. The glory of Jehovah will be revealed, and all flesh will see it together. Isaiah 40:3, 5.

This refers to the Lord, who is 'the glory'. In John,

The Word became flesh and dwelt among us; and we saw His glory. glory as of the Only Begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14

In the same gospel,

These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him. John 12:41.

Here 'glory' stands for the Lord. Similarly in Moses,

I am the Living One, and the whole earth will be filled with the glory of Jehovah. Numbers 14:21.

Here 'the glory of Jehovah' stands for the Coming or arrival of the Lord, and for enlightenment by Divine Truth emanating from Him.

[6] 'Glory' stands for the Lord's Divinity in Isaiah,

I am Jehovah, that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another. Isaiah 42:8.

In Mark,

... when the Son of Man comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels. Mark 8:38.

In Luke,

Ought [not] Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory? Luke 24:26.

Since 'the glory of Jehovah' means the Lord in respect of Divine Truth, 'the glory' also means the Divine Wisdom and Intelligence that belong to Divine Truth emanating from the Lord. Wisdom and intelligence from God are meant by the glory in Ezekiel 1:28; 8:4; 9:3; 10:4, 18-19; 11:22-23; and there it is represented by 'a rainbow' such as one sees in a cloud.
