1 En la tria monato post la eliro de la Izraelidoj el la lando Egipta, en tiu tago ili venis en la dezerton Sinaj.

2 Ili eliris el Refidim, kaj venis en la dezerton Sinaj kaj starigis sian tendaron en la dezerto; kaj Izrael starigxis tie tendare antaux la monto.

3 Kaj Moseo supreniris al Dio; kaj la Eternulo vokis al li de la monto, dirante:Tiel diru al la domo de Jakob kaj sciigu al la filoj de Izrael:

4 Vi vidis, kion Mi faris al la Egiptoj kaj kiel Mi portis vin sur aglaj flugiloj kaj venigis vin al Mi.

5 Kaj nun se vi obeos Mian vocxon kaj observos Mian interligon, vi estos Mia amata proprajxo inter cxiuj popoloj, cxar al Mi apartenas la tuta tero.

6 Kaj vi estos por Mi regno de pastroj kaj popolo sankta. Tio estas la vortoj, kiujn vi diru al la Izraelidoj.

7 Moseo venis, kaj alvokis la cxefojn de la popolo, kaj prezentis al ili cxiujn tiujn vortojn, pri kiuj la Eternulo ordonis al li.

8 Kaj la tuta popolo respondis kune kaj diris:CXion, kion la Eternulo diris, ni faros. Kaj Moseo raportis la vortojn de la popolo al la Eternulo.

9 Kaj la Eternulo diris al Moseo:Jen Mi venos al vi en densa nubo, por ke la popolo auxdu, kiam Mi parolos kun vi, kaj por ke ili kredu al vi eterne. Kaj Moseo sciigis la vortojn de la popolo al la Eternulo.

10 Kaj la Eternulo diris al Moseo:Iru al la popolo kaj sanktigu gxin hodiaux kaj morgaux, kaj ili lavu siajn vestojn.

11 Kaj ili estu pretaj por la tria tago, cxar en la tria tago la Eternulo malsupreniros antaux la okuloj de la tuta popolo sur la monton Sinaj.

12 Kaj difinu limon por la popolo cxirkauxe, dirante:Gardu vin, ke vi ne supreniru sur la monton nek tusxu gxian bazon; cxiu, kiu tusxos la monton, estu mortigita.

13 Mano lin ne tusxu, sed per sxtonoj li estu mortigita, aux li estu pafmortigita; cxu tio estos bruto, cxu tio estos homo, li ne vivu. Kiam eksonos longa trumpetado, tiam ili povas supreniri sur la monton.

14 Kaj Moseo malsupreniris de la monto al la popolo kaj sanktigis la popolon, kaj ili lavis siajn vestojn.

15 Kaj li diris al la popolo:Estu pretaj por la tria tago; ne alproksimigxu al virino.

16 En la tria tago, tuj matene, komencigxis tondroj kaj fulmoj, kaj densa nubo estis super la monto, kaj auxdigxis tre forta sonado de korno; kaj ektremis la tuta popolo, kiu estis en la tendaro.

17 Kaj Moseo elirigis la popolon el la tendaro renkonte al Dio, kaj ili starigxis antaux la bazo de la monto.

18 Kaj la monto Sinaj tuta fumigxis kauxze de tio, ke la Eternulo malsupreniris sur gxin en fajro; kaj gxia fumo levigxadis kiel fumo el forno, kaj la tuta monto forte tremis.

19 Kaj la sonado de la korno farigxadis cxiam pli kaj pli forta; Moseo paroladis, kaj Dio respondadis al li per vocxo.

20 Kaj la Eternulo malsupreniris sur la monton Sinaj, sur la supron de la monto; kaj la Eternulo vokis Moseon sur la supron de la monto, kaj Moseo supreniris.

21 Kaj la Eternulo diris al Moseo:Iru malsupren, avertu la popolon, ke ili ne translimigxu perforte al la Eternulo, por vidi, cxar tiam multaj el ili falus.

22 Ecx la pastroj, kiuj alproksimigxos al la Eternulo, sanktigu sin, por ke la Eternulo ne frakasu ilin.

23 Kaj Moseo diris al la Eternulo:La popolo ne povas supreniri sur la monton Sinaj, cxar Vi avertis nin, dirante:Faru limon cxirkaux la monto, kaj sanktigu gxin.

24 Sed la Eternulo diris al li:Iru malsupren, poste supreniru vi kaj Aaron kun vi; sed la pastroj kaj la popolo ne penu perforte supreniri al la Eternulo, por ke Li ne frakasu ilin.

25 Kaj Moseo malsupreniris al la popolo kaj diris tion al ili.

8751. 'From the going of the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt' means after those belonging to the spiritual Church were delivered from molestations. This is clear from the meaning of 'going out' as being delivered; from the representation of 'the children of Israel' as those who belong to the spiritual Church, dealt with in 6426, 6637, 6868, 7035, 7062, 7198, 7201, 7215, 7223; and from the meaning of 'the land of Egypt' as molestations, dealt with in 7278. What molestations are, see 7474; and the fact that those belonging to the spiritual Church were held back on the lower earth until the Lord's Coming into the world, and were delivered by the Lord, 6854, 6914, 7035, 7091, 7474, 7878, 7932, 8018, 8054, 8099

Arcana Coelestia#6306

6306. 'Which I took out of the hand of the Amorite' means because of the victory over evil. This is clear from the representation of 'the Amorite' as evil, dealt with in 1857; and from the meaning of 'taking out of the hand' as acquiring through victory. As regards 'the Amorites', it should be recognized that they mean evil, just as 'the Canaanites' and all the other nations in the land that are mentioned in the Word mean various kinds of evil and also of falsity. Such things were represented by the nations when the children of Israel were taking possession of the land of Canaan. The reason for this was that whenever the children of Israel represented the things of heaven those nations represented the things of hell; thus the land of Canaan represented every state that exists in the next life. Also, because the nations represented the things of hell they were utterly destroyed; and entrance into any treaty with those who might remain was forbidden.

[2] The action of the children of Israel, of their taking possession of and dwelling in the land of those who represented the hells, was representative. It represented what happened around the time of the Lord's Coming, when spirits from hell had possession of a large part of heaven but He, by coming into the world and making the human within Himself Divine, cast them out of there and down into hell, and thereby delivered heaven from them, which He then gave as an inheritance to those who belonged to His spiritual kingdom.

[3] The representation of the Amorite nation as evil in general is evident from the places where it is referred to, as in Ezekiel, Thus said the Lord Jehovih to Jerusalem, 1 Your tradings and your births are of the land of the Canaanite. Your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite. Ezekiel 16:3, 45.

'Father' in the internal sense means the Church's good, or in the contrary sense evil, and 'mother' means the Church's truth, or in the contrary sense falsity; and this is why it is said, 'Your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite'.

[4] In Amos,

I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and whose strength was like the oaks. I led you in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite. Amos 2:9-10.

Here also 'the Amorite' stands for evil, for the evil of self-love is described by 'the height of the cedars' and 'the strength of an oak'. The reason why 'the Amorite' means evil in general is that the entire land of Canaan was called 'the land of the Amorite'; for it says, 'I led you in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite'. In addition the second Book of Kings says,

Manasseh king of Judah did what was evil, greater than all the evil which the Amorites did, who were before him. 2 Kings 21:11.

[5] 'With my sword' means through truth engaged in conflict. This is clear from the meaning of 'sword' as truth engaged in conflict, dealt with in 2799, 4499.

'And my bow' means received from doctrine. This is clear from the meaning of 'bow' as doctrine, dealt with in 2686, 2709.

[6] The words used here, 'the portion which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and my bow' were, it is quite evident, uttered by Israel on account of the internal sense; for Jacob did not take that portion from the Amorite with sword or bow. He bought it from the sons of Hamor, as is evident from Genesis 33, where these words occur, Jacob came to Salem, the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, as he was coming from Paddan Aram; and he encamped towards the face of the city. And he bought the portion of the field where he had stretched his tent, from the hand of the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for a hundred kesitahs. Genesis 33:18-19.

The fact that this field was the portion he gave to Joseph is clear in Joshua,

The bones of Joseph which the children of Israel caused to be brought up out of Egypt they buried in Shechem, in the part of the field which Jacob bought from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for a hundred kesitahs; and they had become an inheritance for the children of Joseph. Joshua 24:32.

From this it is evident that the portion had been bought, and that this is what was given to Joseph. Nor was the city of Shechem nearby meant, the city in which Simeon and Levi killed every male and which they took with the sword, Genesis 34. This is made clear by the fact that Jacob detested what they did and for that reason cursed Simeon and Levi, completely dissociating himself from the crime. He said,

Simeon and Levi are brothers; instruments of violence are their swords. Into their secret place let my soul not come; in their congregation let not my glory be united; for in their anger they killed a man, and in their pleasure they hamstrung an ox. Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce, and their wrath, for it was hard. 2 I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel. Genesis 49:5-7.

From all this it may now be seen that the words 'the portion which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and my bow' were uttered by him, when the spirit of prophecy rested on him, for the sake of the internal sense.
