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.

3813. As regards 'flesh', this means in the highest sense the Proprium of the Lord's Divine Human, which is Divine Good, and in the relative sense means the will side of the human proprium when made alive by the Proprium of the Lord's Divine Human, that is, by His Divine Good. This proprium is the one called the heavenly proprium which, in itself the Lord's alone, is appropriated to those who are governed by good and consequently by truth. Such a proprium exists with angels in heaven, and also with men whose interiors, that is, their spirits, are in the Lord's kingdom. But in the contrary sense 'flesh' means the will side of the human proprium, which in itself is nothing but evil, and not having been made alive by the Lord is called dead; and the individual himself is for that reason called dead.

[2] That 'flesh' in the highest sense means the Proprium of the Lord's Divine Human, and so His Divine Good, is clear from the Lord's words in John,

Jesus said, I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread he will live for ever. The bread which I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. The Jews disputed with one another, saying, How can this man give his flesh to eat? Jesus therefore said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you will have no life in yourselves. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day; for My flesh is truly food, and My blood is truly drink. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. This is the bread which came down from heaven. John 6:51-58.

Here it is quite evident that 'flesh' means the Proprium of the Lord's Divine Human, and so the Divine Good - His flesh in the Holy Supper being called 'the body'. His body or flesh in the Holy Supper is the Divine Good, and His blood the Divine Truth, see 1798, 2165, 2177, 3464, 3735. And since bread and wine have the same meaning as flesh and blood - that is to say, 'bread' is the Lord's Divine Good, and 'wine' His Divine Truth - bread and wine were commanded in place of flesh and blood. This is why the Lord says, 'I am the living bread; the bread which I will give is My flesh; he who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me and I in him; this is the bread which came down from heaven'. 'Eating' means being communicated, being joined to, and being made one's own, see 2187, 2343, 3168, 3513 (end), 3596.

[3] The same was represented in the Jewish Church by the law that the flesh of sacrifices was to be eaten by Aaron and his sons, by those persons who brought the sacrifice, and by others who were clean; and that this flesh was holy, see Exodus 12:7-9; 29:30-34; Leviticus 7:15-21; 8:31; Deuteronomy 12:27; 16:4. That being so, if any unclean person ate some of that flesh he was to be cut off from his people, Leviticus 7:21. The fact that these sacrifices were called 'bread', see 2165, and that that sacrificial flesh was called 'holy flesh', Jeremiah 11:15; Haggai 2:12. And in Ezekiel 40:43 where the new Temple is the subject, it is called 'the flesh of the offering which is on the tables in the Lord's kingdom', by which clearly worship of the Lord in His kingdom is meant.

[4] That 'flesh' in the relative sense means the will side of man's proprium when made alive by the Lord is Divine Good is clear also from the following places: In Ezekiel,

I will give them one heart, and will put a new spirit in your midst; and I will remove the heart of stone out of their flesh and will give them a heart of flesh. Ezekiel 11:19; 36:26.

'The heart of stone out of their flesh' stands for a will and proprium when not made alive, 'a heart of flesh' for a will and proprium when made alive; for 'the heart' is a representative of good in the will, see 2930, 3313, 3635. In David,

O God, You are my God; in the morning I seek You. My soul thirsts for You, my flesh in a dry land longs for You, and I am weary without water. Psalms 63:1.

In the same author,

My soul longs for the courts of Jehovah; my heart and my flesh shout for joy to the living God. Psalms 84:2.

[5] In Job,

I have come to know my Redeemer; He is alive; and at the last He will rise above the dust; and afterwards these things will be encompassed by my skin, and out of my flesh shall I see God, whom I shall see for myself; and my eyes will behold, and no other. Job 19:25-27.

'Being encompassed by skin' stands for the natural, such as a person possesses after death, dealt with in 3539. 'Out of his flesh seeing God' stands for the proprium when made alive, which is why Job says, 'Whom I shall see for myself; and my eyes will behold, and no other'. Since it was well known in the ancient Churches that 'flesh' meant the proprium, and since the Book of Job is a book of the Ancient Church, 3540 (end), he accordingly followed the custom of the day and drew on meaningful signs to speak of these, as of many other matters. Those therefore who conclude from what Job said that their dead body is going to be reassembled from the four winds and is going to rise again do not know the internal sense of the Word. Those who are conversant with that sense know that they will enter the next life in a body, but in a purer one. In that life people have purer bodies, for they behold one another, talk to one another, and are endowed with each of the senses, which though like those in the physical body are now keener. The body which a person carries around on earth is designed for activities on earth and therefore consists of flesh and bones, whereas the body that a spirit carries around in the next life is designed for activities in that life and does not consist of flesh and bones but of such things as correspond to these, see 3726.

[6] That 'flesh' in the contrary sense means the will side of the human proprium which in itself is nothing but evil is clear from the following places: In Isaiah,

Every man will eat the flesh of his own arm. Isaiah 9:20.

In the same prophet,

I will feed your oppressors with their own flesh, and they will be drunk with their blood as with new wine. Isaiah 49:26.

In Jeremiah,

I will feed them with the flesh of their sons and with the flesh of their daughters, and every man will eat the flesh of his companion. Jeremiah 19:9.

In Zechariah,

Those that are left will eat, every one the flesh of another. Zechariah 11:9.

In Moses,

I will chastise you seven times for your sins, and you will eat the flesh of your sons: and the flesh of your daughters will you eat. Leviticus 26:28-29.

The will side of the human proprium, or man's own natural inclinations, is described in this way because it is nothing but evil and consequent falsity, and so hatred against every form of truth or good, that are meant by 'eating the flesh of their own arm', 'the flesh of sons and daughters', and 'the flesh of another'.

[7] In John,

I saw an angel standing in the sun, who called out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds flying in mid-heaven, Come and gather yourselves to the supper of the great God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and those seated on them, and the flesh of all free men and slaves, both small and great. Revelation 19:17-18; Ezekiel 39:17-20.

Anyone may see that the flesh of kings, captains, mighty men, horses and those seated on them, free men and slaves, is not meant by such expressions. 'Flesh' accordingly has another meaning which has not been known up to now. The fact that evils resulting from falsities, and evils producing falsities, are meant - which evils originate on the will side of the human proprium - is evident from each expression used here.

[8] Since falsity which springs from the understanding side of man's proprium is meant by 'blood' in the internal sense, and evil which springs from the will side of his proprium by 'flesh', the Lord speaks of the person who is to be regenerated as follows,

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.

For this reason 'flesh' is used to mean in general all mankind, see 574, 1050 (end). For whether you speak of man or of man's proprium it amounts to the same.

[9] That 'flesh' in the highest sense means the Lord's Divine Human is evident from the verses quoted above, as well as from the following in John,

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

It is by virtue of this flesh that all other flesh is made alive, that is, by virtue of the Lord's Divine Human, every human being is made alive, through making His love his own, which is meant by 'eating the flesh of the Son of Man', John 6:51-58, and by eating the bread in the Holy Supper - for the bread is His body or flesh, Matthew 26:26-27.
