1 Ja Herra sanoi Moosekselle: "Veistä itsellesi kaksi kivitaulua, entisten kaltaista, niin minä kirjoitan niihin tauluihin ne sanat, jotka olivat entisissä tauluissa, jotka sinä murskasit.

2 Ole siis huomenaamuksi valmis; ja nouse huomenaamuna Siinain vuorelle ja seiso siellä minua vastassa vuoren huipulla.

3 Mutta älköön kukaan nousko sinne sinun kanssasi, älköönkä ketään näkykö koko vuorella; lampaitakaan ja karjaa älköön käykö laitumella vuoren vaiheilla."

4 Ja Mooses veisti kaksi kivitaulua, entisten kaltaista. Ja varhain seuraavana aamuna Mooses nousi Siinain vuorelle, niinkuin Herra oli häntä käskenyt, ja otti ne kaksi kivitaulua käteensä.

5 Niin Herra astui alas pilvessä, ja Mooses asettui siellä hänen läheisyyteensä ja huusi Herran nimeä.

6 Ja Herra kulki hänen ohitsensa ja huusi: "Herra, Herra on laupias ja armahtavainen Jumala, pitkämielinen ja suuri armossa ja uskollisuudessa,

7 joka pysyy armollisena tuhansille, joka antaa anteeksi pahat teot, rikokset ja synnit, mutta ei kuitenkaan jätä rankaisematta, vaan kostaa isien pahat teot lapsille ja lasten lapsille kolmanteen ja neljänteen polveen".

8 Niin Mooses kumartui nopeasti maahan ja rukoili ja sanoi:

9 "Herra, jos olen saanut armon sinun silmiesi edessä, niin käyköön Herra meidän keskellämme. Sillä tämä on tosin niskurikansa, mutta anna anteeksi meidän pahat tekomme ja syntimme ja ota meidät perintöosaksesi."

10 Hän vastasi: "Katso, minä teen liiton, minä teen kaiken sinun kansasi nähden ihmeellisiä tekoja, joiden kaltaisia ei ole tehty yhdessäkään maassa, ei minkään kansan keskuudessa. Niin koko kansa, jonka keskellä sinä olet, on näkevä Herran teot, sillä peljättävää on se, mitä minä sinulle teen.

11 Noudata, mitä minä tänä päivänä käsken sinun noudattaa. Katso, minä karkoitan sinun tieltäsi amorilaiset, kanaanilaiset, heettiläiset, perissiläiset, hivviläiset ja jebusilaiset.

12 Kavahda, ettet tee liittoa sen maan asukasten kanssa, johon tulet, etteivät he tulisi teidän keskuudessanne ansaksi;

13 vaan kukistakaa heidän alttarinsa ja murskatkaa heidän patsaansa ja hakatkaa maahan heidän asera-karsikkonsa.

14 Älä kumarra muuta jumalaa; sillä Herra on nimeltänsä Kiivas, hän on kiivas Jumala.

15 Älä siis tee liittoa maan asukasten kanssa, ettet, kun he kulkevat haureudessa jumaliensa jäljessä ja uhraavat jumalillensa ja kutsuvat sinua, sinä söisi heidän uhristaan,

16 ja etteivät heidän tyttärensä, kun sinä otat heitä pojillesi vaimoiksi ja kun he kulkevat haureudessa jumaliensa jäljessä, viettelisi sinun poikiasikin haureudessa kulkemaan heidän jumaliensa jäljessä.

17 Älä tee itsellesi valettuja jumalankuvia.

18 Vietä happamattoman leivän juhlaa: seitsemänä päivänä syö happamatonta leipää, niinkuin minä olen sinua käskenyt, määrättynä aikana, aabib-kuussa, sillä aabib-kuussa sinä olet lähtenyt Egyptistä.

19 Kaikki, mikä avaa äidinkohdun, on minun; samoin myös kaikki sinun karjasi urospuolet, raavaittesi ja lampaittesi ensiksisynnyttämät.

20 Mutta aasin ensiksisynnyttämä lunasta lampaalla, mutta jos et sitä lunasta, niin taita siltä niska. Jokainen esikoinen pojistasi lunasta. Ja tyhjin käsin älköön tultako minun kasvojeni eteen.

21 Kuusi päivää tee työtä, mutta lepää seitsemäs päivä; kyntö-ja elonleikkuuaikanakin sinun on levättävä.

22 Ja vietä viikkojuhla, kun leikkaat nisusi uutisen, ja korjuujuhla vuoden vaihteessa.

23 Kolme kertaa vuodessa kaikki sinun miesväkesi tulkoon Herran, sinun Herrasi, Israelin Jumalan, kasvojen eteen.

24 Sillä minä karkoitan kansat sinun tieltäsi ja laajennan sinun alueesi; eikä kukaan ole himoitseva sinun maatasi, kun sinä kolme kertaa vuodessa vaellat tullaksesi Herran, sinun Jumalasi, kasvojen eteen.

25 Älä uhraa minun teurasuhrini verta happamen leivän ohella. Ja pääsiäisjuhlan uhrista älköön mitään jääkö yli yön seuraavaan aamuun.

26 Parhaat maasi uutisesta tuo Herran, sinun Jumalasi, huoneeseen. Älä keitä vohlaa emänsä maidossa."

27 Ja Herra sanoi Moosekselle: "Kirjoita itsellesi nämä sanat, sillä näiden sanojen mukaisesti minä olen tehnyt liiton sinun ja Israelin kanssa".

28 Ja hän oli siellä Herran tykönä neljäkymmentä päivää ja neljäkymmentä yötä syömättä ja juomatta. Ja hän kirjoitti tauluihin liiton sanat, ne kymmenen sanaa.

29 Ja kun Mooses astui alas Siinain vuorelta ja hänellä vuorelta alas astuessaan oli kädessänsä kaksi laintaulua, ei hän tiennyt, että hänen kasvojensa iho oli tullut säteileväksi hänen puhuessaan Herran kanssa.

30 Ja kun Aaron ja kaikki israelilaiset näkivät Mooseksen kasvojen ihon säteilevän, pelkäsivät he lähestyä häntä.

31 Mutta Mooses huusi heitä; niin Aaron ja kaikki kansan päämiehet kääntyivät takaisin hänen luokseen, ja Mooses puhui heille.

32 Sitten kaikki israelilaiset lähestyivät häntä, ja hän käski heidän noudattaa kaikkea, mitä Herra oli puhunut hänelle Siinain vuorella.

33 Ja kun Mooses oli lakannut puhumasta heidän kanssaan, pani hän peitteen kasvoillensa.

34 Mutta niin usein kuin hän meni Herran eteen puhuttelemaan häntä, poisti hän peitteen, siksi kunnes tuli ulos. Ja tultuaan ulos hän puhui israelilaisille, mitä hänen oli käsketty puhua.

35 Ja israelilaiset näkivät joka kerta Mooseksen kasvojen ihon säteilevän; ja Mooses veti peitteen kasvoillensa, siksi kunnes hän jälleen meni puhuttelemaan häntä.

10686. 'He did not eat bread and he did not drink water' means during which the good of love and the truth of faith do not become a person's own. This is clear from the meaning of 'bread' as the good of love, dealt with in 2165, 2177, 3464, 3478, 3735, 3813, 4211, 4217, 4735, 4976, 8410, 9545; from the meaning of 'water' as the truth of faith, dealt with in the places referred to in 10238 (in the Word 'bread' and 'water' are used in general to mean all forms of good and truth, see 9323); from the meaning of 'eating' as having good joined to one and making it one's own, dealt with in 2187, 2343, 3168, 3513(end), 3596, 4745, 5643, 8001; and from the meaning of 'drinking' as receiving truth and making it one's own, dealt with in 3069, 3089, 3168, 8562. The implications of all this are that a person does not make forms of the good of love or the truths of faith his own during temptations but after them; for, as long as temptations last the evils and falsities of evil that reside with a person are stirred up on one side, and the forms of good and the truths of good on the other. As a result of this he experiences a state of turmoil. During this state the internal level is being opened up. But after the temptations have come to an end he experiences peace and calm, and in this state the Lord introduces forms of good and truths of good onto the internal level that has now been opened up. From all this it is evident what should be understood by the good of love and truth of faith not being made a person's own as long as temptations last, meant by the statement that for forty days and forty nights Moses did not eat bread and did not drink water.

Arcana Coelestia#2343

2343. 'And they ate' means making one's own. This is clear from the meaning of 'eating' as being communicated and joined together, thus being made one's own, dealt with already in 2187. What has been stated and explained so far makes clear how the contents of the previous and the present verses are arranged and link together in the internal sense - from the fact that 'the angels' means the Lord's Divine Human and His Holy proceeding, 'turning aside to him' means staying with, 'coming to his house' being confirmed in good, 'making a feast' dwelling together, 'baking unleavened bread' being purified, and 'eating' taking into oneself and making one's own. It shows the nature of the train of thought in the internal sense, though nothing at all of that sense is apparent in the historical sense.

[2] Such is the order and the train of thought that exists with all the individual parts of the Word. But the nature of that actual train of thought cannot begin to reveal itself when each word is explained separately; for in that case each is seen in isolation from the rest and the continuity of meaning is lost. It reveals itself when all the separate details are seen together within one complete idea, or are perceived as one complete mental picture, as is done by those who have the internal sense and who at the same time dwell in heavenly light from the Lord. Within these words [used here in Genesis] such people are given to see the entire process of the reformation and regeneration of those who become members of the Church, represented here by Lot. That is to say, they first of all perceive some degree of temptation, but when they persevere and overcome the Lord stays with them, and confirms them in good, brings them to Himself into His kingdom, and dwells together with them, and there purifies and perfects them, at the same time granting them as their own things that are good and happy. All this He accomplishes by means of His Divine Human and His Holy proceeding.

[3] Within the Church it is indeed well known that all regeneration or new life, and therefore salvation, comes from the Lord alone, but few believe it. The reason they do not believe it is that the good of charity does not exist in them. It is as impossible for those in whom that good does not exist to believe it as it is for a camel to go through the eye of a needle; for the good of charity is the very seed-bed of faith. Truth and good agree together, but truth and evil never do. They have contrary natures and turn away from each other. Insofar therefore as someone is moved by good, he can be governed by truth, that is, insofar as charity exists with him faith is able to, especially the most fundamental matter of faith that all salvation comes from the Lord.

[4] That this is the most fundamental matter of faith is clear from many places in the Word, as in John,

God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that everyone who believes in Him may not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16.

In the same gospel,

He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not believe in the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God rests upon him. John 3:36.

In the same gospel,

This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom the Father has sent. John 6:29.

In the same gospel,

This is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:40.

In the same gospel,

Unless you believe that I am, you will die in your sins. John 8:24.

In the same gospel,

I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he die, yet will he live. And everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. John 11:25-26.

[5] Nobody is able to believe in the Lord unless he is governed by good, that is, no one can possess faith unless he has charity. This too is clear in John,

As many as received Him, to them He gave power to be sons of God, to those believing in His name, who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:12-13.

And in the same gospel,

I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for without Me you can do nothing. If a man does not abide in Me he is cast forth as a branch and is withered. As the Father has loved Me so I have loved you; abide in My love. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. John 15:5-6, 9, 12.

[6] From all these quotations it becomes clear that love to the Lord and charity towards the neighbour constitute the life of faith. But that people who are immersed in evil, that is, who lead a life of evil, cannot possibly believe that all salvation comes from the Lord has become clear to me from those who have entered the next life from the Christian world; and also from people who during their lifetime have confessed with their lips the established teaching of faith, and indeed have taught it themselves, that without the Lord there is no salvation, but who, for all that, have led a life of evil. At the very mention of the Lord's name these people have filled the atmosphere around them entirely with objections. For in the next life solely that which people are thinking is perceived and sends out from itself a sphere, in which the nature of the faith possessed by those people reveals itself, see 1394.

[7] At the mere mention of love or charity among these people I perceived emanating from them something that was so to speak full of darkness and at the same time dust-filled. The product of some filthy love, it was by nature such that it obliterated, stifled, and corrupted all feeling of love to the Lord and of charity towards the neighbour. Such is the faith at the present day, which, they say, saves without the goods that flow from charity.

[8] The same people were also asked what faith they had since it was not the faith they had professed during their lifetime. Since in the next life nobody can conceal what he actually thinks, they said that they believed in God the Creator of all things. They were examined however as to whether this was really so, and it was discovered that they did not believe in any God at all but thought that all things were the product of natural forces, and all that has been said about eternal life is nonsense. Such is the faith of everyone inside the Church who does not believe in the Lord but says that he believes in God the Creator of all things. For truth cannot flow in from any other source than the Lord, and truth cannot be sown in anything other than good which is derived from the Lord.

[9] That the Lord's Divine Human and His Holy proceeding are together the channel and the source of life and salvation is well recognized from the words of the Holy Supper, 'This is My body, This is My blood', which is the Lord's Divine Human. And it is clear that this is the source of everything holy. Whether we speak of the Divine Human, or His Body, or Flesh, or Bread, or Divine Love, it amounts to the same thing; for the Lord's Divine Human is pure Love, and the Holy [proceeding] consists in love alone, while the Holy that constitutes faith is derived from this.
