1 Kiam la popolo vidis, ke Moseo longe ne malsuprenvenas de la monto, la popolo kolektigxis antaux Aaron, kaj diris al li:Levigxu, faru al ni diojn, kiuj irus antaux ni; cxar pri tiu Moseo, la viro, kiu elkondukis nin el la lando Egipta, ni ne scias, kio farigxis kun li.

2 Tiam diris al ili Aaron:Elprenu la orajn orelringojn, kiuj estas en la oreloj de viaj edzinoj, de viaj filoj, kaj de viaj filinoj, kaj alportu al mi.

3 Kaj la tuta popolo elprenis la orajn orelringojn, kiuj estis en iliaj oreloj, kaj alportis al Aaron.

4 Kaj li prenis tion el iliaj manoj kaj formis gxin per cxizilo kaj faris el gxi fanditan bovidon. Kaj ili diris:Jen estas viaj dioj, ho Izrael, kiuj elirigis vin el la lando Egipta.

5 Kiam Aaron tion vidis, li konstruis altaron antaux gxi; kaj Aaron proklamis kaj diris:Morgaux estos festo de la Eternulo.

6 Kaj ili levigxis frue la sekvantan tagon kaj oferis bruloferojn kaj alportis pacoferojn; kaj la popolo sidigxis, por mangxi kaj trinki, kaj ili levigxis, por ludi.

7 Tiam la Eternulo diris al Moseo:Iru, iru malsupren; cxar malvirtigxis via popolo, kiun vi elkondukis el la lando Egipta.

8 Rapide ili forflankigxis de la vojo, kiun Mi ordonis al ili; ili faris al si fanditan bovidon kaj adorklinigxis al gxi kaj alportis al gxi oferojn, kaj diris:Jen estas viaj dioj, ho Izrael, kiuj elirigis vin el la lando Egipta.

9 Kaj la Eternulo diris al Moseo:Mi vidas cxi tiun popolon, gxi estas popolo malmolnuka.

10 Lasu do Min, kaj ekflamos Mia kolero kontraux ilin, kaj Mi ilin ekstermos, kaj Mi faros vin granda popolo.

11 Sed Moseo ekpetegis la Eternulon, sian Dion, kaj diris:Por kio, ho Eternulo, Via kolero estas ekflamonta kontraux Vian popolon, kiun Vi elirigis el la lando Egipta per granda forto kaj per potenca mano?

12 Por kio la Egiptoj diru:Por malbono Li elirigis ilin, por mortigi ilin en la montoj kaj por ekstermi ilin de sur la tero? Forlasu Vian flaman koleron kaj fordecidu la malbonon kontraux Via popolo.

13 Rememoru Abrahamon, Isaakon, kaj Izraelon, Viajn sklavojn, al kiuj Vi jxuris per Vi, kaj al kiuj Vi diris:Mi multigos vian semon kiel la steloj de la cxielo, kaj la tutan tiun landon, pri kiu Mi parolis, Mi donos al viaj idoj, kaj ili posedos gxin eterne.

14 Kaj la Eternulo fordecidis la malbonon, pri kiu Li diris, ke Li faros gxin al Sia popolo.

15 Moseo sin returnis kaj malsupreniris de la monto, kaj la du tabeloj de atesto estis en liaj manoj, tabeloj, sur kiuj estis skribite ambauxflanke; sur unu flanko kaj sur la alia estis skribite sur ili.

16 Kaj la tabeloj estis faritajxo de Dio, kaj la skribo estis skribo de Dio, gravurita sur la tabeloj.

17 Kaj Josuo auxdis la bruon de la popolo gxojkrianta, kaj li diris al Moseo:Bruo de batalo estas en la tendaro.

18 Sed tiu diris:Tio ne estas kriado de venko, nek kriado de malvenko, sed bruon de kantantoj mi auxdas.

19 Kiam li alproksimigxis al la tendaro kaj ekvidis la bovidon kaj la dancadon, tiam ekflamis la kolero de Moseo, kaj li forjxetis el siaj manoj la tabelojn kaj disrompis ilin sub la monto.

20 Kaj li prenis la bovidon, kiun ili faris, kaj disbruligis gxin per fajro kaj disfrakasis gxis pulvoreco kaj dissxutis sur akvo kaj trinkigis gxin al la Izraelidoj.

21 Kaj Moseo diris al Aaron:Kion faris al vi cxi tiu poplo, ke vi venigis sur gxin grandan pekon?

22 Kaj Aaron diris:Ne ekflamu la kolero de mia sinjoro; vi scias, ke la popolo havas inklinon al malbono;

23 ili diris al mi:Faru al ni diojn, kiuj irus antaux ni; cxar pri tiu Moseo, la viro, kiu elkondukis nin el la lando Egipta, ni ne scias, kio farigxis kun li.

24 Kaj mi diris al ili:Kiu havas oron, tiu deprenu gxin; kaj ili donis al mi, kaj mi jxetis gxin en fajron, kaj eliris cxi tiu bovido.

25 CXar Moseo vidis, ke la popolo estas sendisciplina, cxar Aaron sendisciplinigis gxin gxis honto antaux la malamikoj,

26 tial Moseo starigxis cxe la pordego de la tendaro, kaj diris:Kiu estas partiano de la Eternulo, tiu venu al mi. Kaj kolektigxis al li cxiuj idoj de Levi.

27 Kaj li diris al ili:Tiel diris la Eternulo, la Dio de Izrael:Metu cxiu sian glavon sur sian femuron, trairu tien kaj reen de pordego gxis pordego tra la tendaro, kaj cxiu mortigu sian fraton, sian amikon, sian proksimulon.

28 Kaj la idoj de Levi faris, kiel diris Moseo; kaj estis mortigitaj el la popolo en tiu tago cxirkaux tri mil homoj.

29 Kaj Moseo diris:Konsekru vin hodiaux al la Eternulo, cxiu sur sia filo kaj sur sia frato, por ke estu donata al vi hodiaux beno.

30 La sekvantan tagon Moseo diris al la popolo:Vi pekis per granda peko; nun mi supreniros al la Eternulo, eble mi akiros pardonon por via peko.

31 Kaj Moseo revenis al la Eternulo, kaj diris:Ho ve! tiu popolo pekis per granda peko kaj faris al si orajn diojn;

32 nun volu pardoni ilian pekon; kaj se ne, tiam volu elstreki min el Via libro, kiun Vi skribis.

33 Sed la Eternulo diris al Moseo; Kiu ajn pekis antaux Mi, tiun Mi elstrekos el Mia libro.

34 Kaj nun iru, konduku la popolon tien, kien Mi diris al vi. Jen Mia angxelo iros antaux vi; kaj en la tago de Mia rememorigado Mi rememorigos sur ili ilian pekon.

35 Kaj la Eternulo frapis la popolon pro tio, ke ili faris la bovidon, kiun faris Aaron.

Apocalypse Explained#222

/1232  
  

222. And I will write upon him the name of my God. That this signifies their quality according to Divine truth implanted in the life is evident from the signification of writing upon any one, when it is said to be done by the Lord, as denoting to implant in the life, concerning which we shall speak presently, also from the signification of name, as denoting the quality of their state (concerning which see above n. 148); and from the signification of God, as denoting Divine truth proceeding from the Lord in heaven, and thus the Lord in heaven (see n. 220); for the Lord is above the heavens, for He appears to those who are in heaven as a Sun (as may be seen in the work, Heaven and Hell. n. 116-125). The Divine proceeding from the Sun of heaven, which is called Divine truth, and which constitutes heaven in general and in particular, is what in the Word is meant by God; hence it is that the angels are called gods, and that the term for God, in the Hebrew tongue, is Elohim, in the plural. From these considerations it is clear why the Lord here says, "the name of my God;" also above, "I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God" (n. 219), and in what follows, "I will write upon him the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God" (n. 223).

The reason why writing upon any one denotes to implant in the life is, that to write is to commit anything to paper from the memory, thought and mind, in order that it may remain; therefore, in the spiritual sense it signifies that which will remain in the life of man, inscribed and implanted in him. Thus the natural sense of this expression is turned into the spiritual sense; for it is natural to write upon paper, or in a book, but it is spiritual to inscribe on the life, which is done when it is implanted in faith and love; for love and faith constitute the spiritual life of man.

[2] Because to write signifies to implant in the life, therefore also it is said of Jehovah, or the Lord, that He writes, and that He has written in a book, by which is meant what is inscribed by the Lord on man's spirit, that is, in his heart and soul, or, what is the same, in his love and faith. As, in David:

"My bone was not hidden from thee, when I was made in secret; upon thy book were all the days written when they were formed, and not one of them is wanting" (Psalms 139:15, 16).

Again:

"Let them be blotted out of the book of lives, and not be written with the just" (69:28).

In Daniel:

"The people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book" (12:1).

In Moses:

"Blot me, I pray out of the book which thou hast written. And Jehovah said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book" (Exodus 32:32, 33).

In the Apocalypse:

"A book written within and on the back side, sealed with seven seals," which no one was able to open but the Lamb only (5:1).

Again:

"All whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb" shall worship the beast (13:8; 17:8).

And again:

"I saw that the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire" (20:12, 13, 15).

And again:

And none shall enter into the New Jerusalem except "those that are written in the Lamb's book of life" (21:27).

From these passages it is not to be understood that the persons referred to are written in a book, but that all the things of faith and love are inscribed on man's spirit (as is evident from what is said upon this subject in the work, Heaven and Hell 461-469).

[3] That to write, in the Word, signifies to inscribe and implant in the life, is also evident from other passages where it is mentioned; as in Jeremiah:

"I will put my law in the midst of them, and will write it on their heart" (31:33).

To put the law in the midst of them, denotes Divine truth in them, in the midst, signifies inwardly in man (as may be seen, Arcana Coelestia 1074, 2940, 2973); and to write it on their heart, is to impress it upon the love, for the heart signifies the love (see Arcana Coelestia 7542, 9050, 10336). In Ezekiel:

"The prophet saw the roll of a book written within and without, and there were written thereon lamentations, mourning and woe" (2:9, 10; 3:1-3).

By the roll of a book written within and without is signified the state of the church at that time, thus the quality of the life of those who belonged to the church; therefore the roll of the book here mentioned has a signification similar to that of the book of life mentioned above; and because their life was destitute of the goods of love and truths of faith, it is said, that "There was written thereon, lamentations, and mourning and woe."

By the law being written upon tables of stone, and with the finger of God (Exodus 31:18; Deuteronomy 4:13; 9:10),

was signified that it must be impressed on the life (Arcana Coelestia 9416); for by the law, in the strict sense, the ten precepts of the Decalogue are meant, but in a broad sense, the whole Word (see Arcana Coelestia 6752, 7463). By stone is signified truth, and there it signifies Divine truth (see Arcana Coelestia 643, 1298, 3720, 6426, 8609, 10376). The same is signified by

The words of the law being written upon the twelve stones taken out of Jordan (Deuteronomy 27:2-4, 8; Josh. 4:3, and the following verses).

[4] In Ezekiel:

"Son of man, take thee one stick and write upon it, For Judah, and for the sons of Israel, his companions: and take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the house of Israel, and his companions. Afterwards join them one to another into one stick, that they may both be one in my hand" 37:16, 17).

What these things signify no one can know unless he knows what was represented by Judah, and what by Joseph. By Judah was represented the celestial kingdom of the Lord, and by Joseph his spiritual kingdom; and by writing for them upon two sticks of wood, was signified the state of the love, and thence of the life of both. Their conjunction into one heaven was signified by joining them one to another into one piece, that they might be one in my hand. The signification of this is similar to that of the Lord's words,

"Other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring; and there shall be one flock, and one shepherd" (John 10:16).

The reason why the writing was to be upon wood was, because wood signifies good, and it is good which conjoins. (But these things will be clearer from what is shown in the Arcana Coelestia, namely, that the spiritual kingdom before the Lord's coming was not like it was after his coming, n. 6372, 8054: that the spiritual especially were saved by the coming of the Lord into the world, and that they were then conjoined with those who were of His celestial kingdom into one heaven, n. 2661, 2716, 2833, 2834, 3969, 6854, 6914, 7035, 7091, 7828, 7932, 8018, 8159, 8321, 9684. That there are two kingdoms, the celestial and the spiritual, and three heavens, and that they are conjoined into one heaven, may be seen in the work, Heaven and Hell 20-28, and 29-40. That by Judah, in the representative sense, is signified the Lord's celestial kingdom, Arcana Coelestia 3654, 3881, 5583, 5603, 5782, 6363: that by Joseph is signified the Lord's spiritual kingdom, n. 3969, 3971, 4669, 6417: that by Ephraim is signified the Intellectual of the spiritual church, 3969, 5354, 6222, 6234, 6238, 6267, 6296: that by wood is signified the good of love, n. 643, 3720, 8354.)

[5] In Isaiah:

"This one shall say, I am of Jehovah; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall write with his hand unto Jehovah, and surname himself by the name of Israel" (44:5).

These things are said concerning the Lord and His Divine Human. By Jacob and by Israel, where the Lord is treated of, is signified His human; and that it was also Jehovah is meant by one saying, "I am of Jehovah," and by subscribing with his own hand unto Jehovah. (That, in the highest sense, Israel and Jacob denote the Lord, may be seen, Arcana Coelestia 4286, 4570, 6424.)

[6] In Jeremiah:

"Jehovah the hope of Israel, all that forsake me shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Jehovah, the fountain of living waters. Heal me, O Jehovah, and I shall be healed" (17:13, 14).

To be written in the earth, is to be condemned on account of the state of the life, because by earth is signified what is condemned (as may be seen, Arcana Coelestia 2327, 7418, 8306).

[7] Hence it is evident what is signified by the Lord's writing with his finger on the earth, as recorded in John:

"The Scribes and Pharisees brought unto Jesus a woman taken in adultery; they said, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act." They asked whether, according to the law of Moses, she should be stoned. "Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the earth, and rising said, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down, and wrote on the earth." These things being heard they went out one after another, and Jesus was left alone, and the woman to whom he said, "Where are thine accusers; hath no man condemned thee? And he said, Go and sin no more" (John 8:3-11).

By the Lord writing on the earth, is signified the same as above in Jeremiah, where it is said, "They that depart from me shall be written in the earth," namely, that they were equally condemned on account of adulteries; therefore Jesus said, "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."

That the Lord twice wrote on the earth in the temple, signified, in the spiritual sense, their condemnation for adulteries. For the Scribes and Pharisees were those who adulterated the goods and falsified the truths of the Word, consequently of the church; and adulteries in the spiritual sense are adulterations of good and falsifications of truth (as may be seen above, n. 141, 161); therefore also He called that nation an adulterous and sinful generation (Mark 8:38).
