1 Kaj al Moseo Li diris:Supreniru al la Eternulo, vi kaj Aaron, Nadab kaj Abihu, kaj sepdek el la cxefoj de Izrael, kaj faru adoron de malproksime.

2 Kaj Moseo sola alproksimigxu al la Eternulo; sed ili ne alproksimigxu, kaj la popolo ne supreniru kun li.

3 Kaj Moseo venis kaj rakontis al la popolo cxiujn vortojn de la Eternulo kaj cxiujn legxojn. Kaj la tuta popolo respondis per unu vocxo, kaj ili diris:CXion, kion diris la Eternulo, ni faros.

4 Kaj Moseo skribis cxiujn vortojn de la Eternulo, kaj li levigxis frue matene kaj konstruis altaron sub la monto kaj dek du kolonojn laux la dek du triboj de Izrael.

5 Kaj li sendis junulojn el la Izraelidoj, kaj ili alportis bruloferojn kaj bucxis pacoferojn al la Eternulo, bovidojn.

6 Moseo prenis duonon de la sango kaj enversxis en pelvojn, kaj duonon de la sango li sxprucigis sur la altaron.

7 Kaj li prenis la libron de la interligo kaj lauxtlegis gxin al la popolo, kaj ili diris:CXion, kion diris la Eternulo, ni faros kaj obeos.

8 Kaj Moseo prenis la sangon kaj sxprucigis sur la popolon, kaj diris:Jen estas sango de la interligo, kiun la Eternulo faris kun vi pri cxiuj tiuj vortoj.

9 Kaj supreniris Moseo kaj Aaron, Nadab kaj Abihu, kaj sepdek el la cxefoj de Izrael.

10 Kaj ili vidis la Dion de Izrael; kaj sub Liaj piedoj estis io, kiel faritajxo el brilanta safiro, kaj kiel la cxielo mem, kiam gxi estas klara.

11 Li ne etendis Sian manon kontraux la cxefojn de Izrael; kaj ili vidis Dion, kaj mangxis kaj trinkis.

12 Kaj la Eternulo diris al Moseo:Supreniru al Mi sur la monton kaj estu tie; kaj Mi donos al vi sxtonajn tabelojn, kaj la instruon kaj ordonojn, kiujn Mi skribis, por instrui ilin.

13 Kaj levigxis Moseo kaj lia servanto Josuo, kaj Moseo supreniris sur la monton de Dio.

14 Kaj al la cxefoj li diris:Restu cxi tie, gxis ni revenos al vi; kaj jen Aaron kaj HXur estas kun vi; kiu havas ian aferon, tiu venu al ili.

15 Kaj Moseo supreniris sur la monton, kaj nubo kovris la monton.

16 Kaj la majesto de la Eternulo logxis sur la monto Sinaj, kaj la nubo gxin kovris dum ses tagoj; kaj Li vokis Moseon en la sepa tago el interne de la nubo.

17 Kaj la aspekto de la majesto de la Eternulo estis kiel fajro flamanta sur la supro de la monto antaux la okuloj de la Izraelidoj.

18 Kaj Moseo eniris en la mezon de la nubo, kaj supreniris sur la monton; kaj Moseo estis sur la monto dum kvardek tagoj kaj kvardek noktoj.

Apocalypse Explained#937

937. That Moses signifies the Word of the Old Testament, is evident from certain passages in the Word where he is mentioned. In some places, however, by Moses is meant the law in its strictest sense, which is the law published from Mount Sinai. In some, the law in a broader sense, which is the historical Word, is meant by him. But in the present case the Word of the Old Testament is meant, both historical and prophetical. The reason why Moses signifies the Word is, that the Ten Precepts, and afterwards the Five Books, which were the first [portion] of the Word, were not from himself but from the Lord through him.

That Moses is mentioned instead of the law and the Word is plain from the following passages. In Luke:

"Abraham said unto him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them: if they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead" (16:29, 31).

Here by Moses and the Prophets is meant the same as elsewhere by the Law and the Prophets, namely, the historical and prophetical Word.

In the same:

Jesus, "beginning from Moses and all the prophets, interpreted in all the scriptures the things concerning himself" (24:27).

In the same:

"All things must be fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me" (24:44).

In John:

Philip said, "We have found him, of whom Moses hath written in the law" (1:45).

In the same:

"In the law Moses commanded us" (8:5).

In Daniel:

"The curse hath poured down upon us; and the oath, which is written in the law of Moses, the servant of God; because we have sinned against him. As it is written in the law of Moses, every evil cometh upon us" (9:11, 13).

In Joshua:

Joshua wrote upon the stone of the altar "a copy of the law of Moses" (8:32).

In John:

"Moses gave to you the law, Moses gave to you circumcision. If a man receive circumcision on the Sabbath, thus that the law of Moses might not be broken" (7:19, 22, 23).

In Mark:

"Moses hath said, Honour thy father and thy mother" (7:10).

[2] Because on account of the representation, that is attributed to Moses which was done by the Lord through him, therefore the law of Moses and the law of the Lord are both mentioned in Luke:

"When the days of their purification were fulfilled according to the law of Moses, they brought him to Jerusalem (even as it is written in the law of the Lord, that every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord) to offer the sacrifice, according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtle doves, and two young pigeons" (2:22-24, 29).

[3] Because Moses represented the law, it was allowed him to enter in to the Lord upon Mount Sinai, and not only to receive there the Tables of the Law, but also to hear the statutes and judgments of the Law; and to command them to the people. And it is also said, that they might thence believe in Moses for ever:

"Jehovah said unto Moses, Behold I will come to thee in the mist of a cloud, that the people may hear, when I shall speak unto thee; and also may believe in thee for ever" (Exodus 19:9).

[4] It is said, in the mist of a cloud, because by a cloud is signified the Word in the letter. Hence also when Moses entered in to the Lord on Mount Sinai,

He entered into a cloud (Exodus 20:21; 24:2, 18; 35:2-4).

That a cloud signifies the sense of the letter of the Word may be seen (n. 36, 594, 905, 906).

Because Moses represented the Lord as to the law or the Word, therefore,

"When he came down from Mount Sinai, the skin of his face shone; therefore when he spake with the people, he put a veil upon his face" (Exodus 34:28 to end).

The radiation of the face signified the internal of the law; for this is in the light of heaven. The reason of his veiling his face when he spake with the people was, became the internal of the Word was covered, and so obscured to that people, that they could not sustain anything of the light thence.

[5] Since Moses represented the Lord as to the historical Word, and Elias the Lord as to the prophetical Word, therefore, when the Lord was transfigured, Moses and Elias were seen talking with Him (Matthew 17:3). Nor could any others speak with the Lord when His Divine appeared in the world, but those who signified the Word; for all discourse with the Lord is by means of the Word. That Elias represented the Lord as to the Word may be seen above (n. 624).

And because both Moses and Elias, together, represented the Word, therefore, where Elias being sent before the Lord is treated of, both are mentioned in Malachi:

"Remember ye the law of Moses, my servant, which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, the statutes and the judgments. Lo, I send to you Elias the prophet, before the great and terrible day of Jehovah cometh" (Malachi 4:4-6).

By Elias the prophet is meant John the Baptist, because by him, as by Elias, the Word was represented; see above (n. 624, 724).
