2 Mose第16章

学习

   

1 Und sie brachen auf von Elim, und die ganze Gemeinde der Kinder Israel kam in die Wüste Sin, die zwischen Elim und Sinai ist, am fünfzehnten Tage des zweiten Monats nach ihrem Auszuge aus dem Lande Ägypten.

2 Und die ganze Gemeinde der Kinder Israel murrte wieder Mose und wider Aaron in der Wüste.

3 Und die Kinder Israel sprachen zu ihnen: Wären wir doch im Lande Ägypten durch die Hand Jehovas gestorben, als wir bei den Fleischtöpfen saßen, als wir Brot aßen bis zur Sättigung! denn ihr habt uns in diese Wüste herausgeführt, um diese ganze Versammlung Hungers sterben zu lassen.

4 Da sprach Jehova zu Mose: Siehe, ich werde euch Brot vom Himmel regnen lassen; und das Volk soll hinausgehen und den täglichen Bedarf an seinem Tage sammeln, damit ich es versuche, ob es wandeln wird in meinem Gesetz oder nicht.

5 Und es soll geschehen, am sechsten Tage, da sollen sie zubereiten, was sie einbringen, und es wird das Doppelte von dem sein, was sie tagtäglich sammeln werden.

6 Und Mose und Aaron sprachen zu allen Kindern Israel: Am Abend, da werdet ihr erkennen, daß Jehova euch aus dem Lande Ägypten herausgeführt hat;

7 und am Morgen, da werdet ihr die Herrlichkeit Jehovas sehen, indem er euer Murren wider Jehova gehört hat; denn was sind wir, daß ihr wider uns murret!

8 Und Mose sprach: Dadurch werdet ihr’s erkennen, daß Jehova euch am Abend Fleisch zu essen geben wird und am Morgen Brot bis zur Sättigung, indem Jehova euer Murren gehört hat, womit ihr wider ihn murret. Denn was sind wir? Nicht wider uns ist euer Murren, sondern wider Jehova.

9 Und Mose sprach zu Aaron: Sprich zu der ganzen Gemeinde der Kinder Israel: Nahet herzu vor Jehova, denn er hat euer Murren gehört.

10 Und es geschah, als Aaron zu der ganzen Gemeinde der Kinder Israel redete, da wandten sie sich gegen die Wüste; und siehe, die Herrlichkeit Jehovas erschien in der Wolke.

11 Und Jehova redete zu Mose und sprach:

12 Ich habe das Murren der Kinder Israel gehört; rede zu ihnen und sprich: Zwischen den zwei Abenden (S. die Anm. zu Kap. 12,6) werdet ihr Fleisch essen, und am Morgen werdet ihr von Brot satt werden; und ihr werdet erkennen, daß ich Jehova bin, euer Gott.

13 Und es geschah am Abend, da kamen Wachteln herauf und bedeckten das Lager; und am Morgen war eine Tauschicht rings um das Lager.

14 Und die Tauschicht stieg auf, und siehe, da lag’s auf der Fläche der Wüste fein, körnig, (Eig. schuppenartig) fein, wie der eif auf der Erde.

15 Und die Kinder Israel sahen es und sprachen einer zum anderen: Was ist das? (H. Man hu) denn sie wußten nicht, was es war. Und Mose sprach zu ihnen: Dies ist das Brot, das Jehova euch zur Nahrung gegeben hat.

16 Dies ist das Wort, das Jehova geboten hat: Sammelt davon, ein jeder nach dem Maße seines Essens; einen Ghomer für den Kopf, nach der Zahl eurer Seelen, sollt ihr nehmen, ein jeder für die, welche in seinem Zelte sind.

17 Und die Kinder Israel taten also und sammelten, der viel und der wenig.

18 Und sie maßen mit dem Ghomer: da hatte, wer viel gesammelt hatte, nicht übrig, und wer wenig gesammelt hatte, dem mangelte nicht; sie hatten gesammelt, ein jeder nach dem Maße seines Essens.

19 Und Mose sprach zu ihnen: Niemand lasse davon übrig bis an den Morgen.

20 Aber sie hörten nicht auf Mose, und etliche ließen davon übrig bis an den Morgen; da wuchsen Würmer darin, und es ward stinkend. Und Mose wurde zornig über sie.

21 Und sie sammelten es Morgen für Morgen, ein jeder nach dem Maße seines Essens; und wenn die Sonne heiß wurde, so zerschmolz es.

22 Und es geschah am sechsten Tage, da sammelten sie das Doppelte an Brot, zwei Ghomer für einen; und alle Fürsten der Gemeinde kamen und berichteten es Mose.

23 Und er sprach zu ihnen: Dies ist es, was Jehova geredet hat: Morgen ist uhe, ein heiliger Sabbath dem Jehova; was ihr backen wollt, backet, und was ihr kochen wollt, kochet. Alles aber, was übrigbleibt, leget euch hin zur Aufbewahrung bis an den Morgen.

24 Und sie legten es hin bis an den Morgen, so wie Mose geboten hatte; und es stank nicht, und es war kein Wurm darin.

25 Da sprach Mose: Esset es heute, denn heute ist Sabbath dem Jehova; ihr werdet es heute auf dem Felde nicht finden.

26 Sechs Tage sollt ihr es sammeln; aber am siebten Tage ist Sabbath, an dem wird es nicht sein.

27 Und es geschah am siebten Tage, daß etliche von dem Volke hinausgingen, um zu sammeln, und sie fanden nichts.

28 Und Jehova sprach zu Mose: Bis wann weigert ihr euch, meine Gebote und meine Gesetze zu beobachten?

29 Sehet, (O. daß) weil Jehova euch den Sabbath gegeben hat, darum gibt er euch am sechsten Tage Brot für zwei Tage; bleibet ein jeder an seiner Stelle, niemand gehe am siebten Tage von seinem Orte heraus.

30 Und das Volk ruhte am siebten Tage.

31 Und das Haus Israel gab ihm den Namen Man; und es war wie Koriandersamen, weiß, und sein Geschmack wie Kuchen mit Honig.

32 Und Mose sprach: Dies ist das Wort, das Jehova geboten hat: Ein Ghomer voll davon sei zur Aufbewahrung für eure Geschlechter, damit sie das Brot sehen, womit ich euch in der Wüste gespeist habe, als ich euch aus dem Lande Ägypten herausführte.

33 Und Mose sprach zu Aaron: Nimm einen Krug und tue Man darein, einen Ghomer voll, und lege es vor Jehova nieder zur Aufbewahrung für eure Geschlechter.

34 So wie Jehova Mose geboten hatte, legte Aaron es vor das Zeugnis nieder, zur Aufbewahrung. -

35 Und die Kinder Israel aßen das Man vierzig Jahre, bis sie in ein bewohntes Land kamen; sie aßen das Man, bis sie an die Grenze des Landes Kanaan kamen.

36 Der Ghomer aber ist ein Zehntel vom Epha.

10133. 'A continual [offering]' means within all Divine worship. This is clear from the meaning of 'continual', when it refers to such things as belong to Divine worship, as all and within all. For the subject is purification from evils and falsities by means of the good of innocence, this good being meant by 'lambs' and purification from evils and consequent falsities by a burnt offering of them. This is called 'continual' because it must be present in all Divine worship. Therefore also the offering was presented twice each day, in the morning and in the evening; and offerings made morning and evening served in general to represent all worship and what must be present within all worship. The good of innocence must be in all good, and consequently in all truth, if they are to be goodness and truth that have life from the Divine within them, and so it must be within all worship. For all worship, to be worship, must spring from the good of love and from the truths of faith.

All of the Church's and of heaven's good has innocence within it, and without that innocence good is not good, nor therefore is worship worship, see 2736, 2780, 6013, 7840, 7887, 9262.

What innocence is, 3994, 4001, 4797, 5236, 6107, 6765, 7902, 9262, 9936, and the places referred to in 10021 (end).

[2] 'Continual' means all and within all - that is to say, the all of worship, and within all worship - because it is a term that has a temporal connotation and in heaven, where the Word is understood not in the natural but in the spiritual sense, people have no notions of time. Instead of periods of time they perceive the kinds of things that are states. By 'continual' at this point therefore they perceive a perpetual state within worship, thus the all of worship and within all worship. The same applies to all other terms in the Word which have temporal connotations, such as yesterday, today, tomorrow, two days, three days, daily, a week, a month, a year, also times of day and seasons of the year - morning, midday, evening, night, spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Therefore if the spiritual sense of the Word is to be understood, any idea of a period of time acquired from its natural sense, any idea of a place as well, indeed any idea of an actual person must be set aside, and states of things must be conceived of instead. From this it may be seen how perfect the Word is in its internal sense, and so how perfect is the perception of it by the angels in heaven, consequently how much more excellent angels' wisdom and understanding are than the understanding and wisdom of people in the world, who think with solely natural vision focused on the completely finite things of this world and planet. Regarding periods of time in heaven, that they are states, see 1274, 1382, 2625, 2788, 2837, 3254, 3356, 3404, 3827, 4814, 4882, 4901, 4916, 6110, 7218, 7381, 8070; and regarding what states are, 4850.

[3] From all this it is evident what the continual burnt offering of lambs means, and so what 'continual' and 'continually' mean elsewhere, as in the commands that 'the fire shall burn continually on the altar', Leviticus 6:13, and that 'the continual bread shall be on the table', Numbers 4:7. 'The fire' there and 'the bread' mean the good of love received from the Lord and offered back to Him. For 'the fire', that it has this meaning, see 4906, 5215, 6314, 6832, 6834, 6849, 7324, 7852, 10055; and also for 'the bread', 2165, 2177, 3478, 3735, 3813, 4211, 4217, 4735, 4976, 9323, 9545. In those places as well 'continual' means in addition that this good must be present in all worship; and the fact that the same good is the source from which the truth of faith must shine, as if from its fire, is meant by the decree that they were to cause a lamp to go up 1 continually, Exodus 27:20, 'a lamp' being the truth and good of faith, see 9548, 9783.

Genesis第24章

学习

   

1 Abraham was old, and well stricken in age. Yahweh had blessed Abraham in all things.

2 Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had, "Please put your hand under my thigh.

3 I will make you swear by Yahweh, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live.

4 But you shall go to my country, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son Isaac."

5 The servant said to him, "What if the woman isn't willing to follow me to this land? Must I bring your son again to the land you came from?"

6 Abraham said to him, "Beware that you don't bring my son there again.

7 Yahweh, the God of heaven, who took me from my father's house, and from the land of my birth, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, 'I will give this land to your seed.' He will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.

8 If the woman isn't willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this my oath. Only you shall not bring my son there again."

9 The servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.

10 The servant took ten camels, of his master's camels, and departed, having a variety of good things of his master's with him. He arose, and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.

11 He made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time that women go out to draw water.

12 He said, "Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, please give me success this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.

13 Behold, I am standing by the spring of water. The daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.

14 Let it happen, that the young lady to whom I will say, 'Please let down your pitcher, that I may drink,' and she will say, 'drink, and I will also give your camels a drink,'--let her be the one you have appointed for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master."

15 It happened, before he had finished speaking, that behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher on her shoulder.

16 The young lady was very beautiful to look at, a virgin, neither had any man known her. She went down to the spring, filled her pitcher, and came up.

17 The servant ran to meet her, and said, "Please give me a drink, a little water from your pitcher."

18 She said, "Drink, my lord." She hurried, and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him Drink.

19 When she had done giving him drink, she said, "I will also draw for your camels, until they have done drinking."

20 She hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.

21 The man looked steadfastly at her, remaining silent, to know whether Yahweh had made his journey prosperous or not.

22 It happened, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden ring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold,

23 and said, "Whose daughter are you? Please tell me. Is there room in your father's house for us to lodge in?"

24 She said to him, "I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor."

25 She said moreover to him, "We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in."

26 The man bowed his head, and worshiped Yahweh.

27 He said, "Blessed be Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his loving kindness and his truth toward my master. As for me, Yahweh has led me in the way to the house of my master's relatives."

28 The young lady ran, and told her mother's house about these words.

29 Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban. Laban ran out to the man, to the spring.

30 It happened, when he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, "This is what the man said to me," that he came to the man. Behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring.

31 He said, "Come in, you blessed of Yahweh. Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house, and room for the camels."

32 The man came into the house, and he unloaded the camels. He gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.

33 Food was set before him to eat, but he said, "I will not eat until I have told my message." He said, "Speak on."

34 He said, "I am Abraham's servant.

35 Yahweh has blessed my master greatly. He has become great. He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male servants and female servants, and camels and donkeys.

36 Sarah, my master's wife, bore a son to my master when she was old. He has given all that he has to him.

37 My master made me swear, saying, 'You shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live,

38 but you shall go to my father's house, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.'

39 I asked my master, 'What if the woman will not follow me?'

40 He said to me, 'Yahweh, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and prosper your way. You shall take a wife for my son of my relatives, and of my father's house.

41 Then will you be clear from my oath, when you come to my relatives. If they don't give her to you, you shall be clear from my oath.'

42 I came this day to the spring, and said, 'Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, if now you do prosper my way which I go--

43 behold, I am standing by this spring of water. Let it happen, that the maiden who comes forth to draw, to whom I will say, "Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,"

44 and she will tell me, "Drink, and I will also draw for your camels,"--let her be the woman whom Yahweh has appointed for my master's son.'

45 Before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder. She went down to the spring, and drew. I said to her, 'Please let me drink.'

46 She hurried and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, 'Drink, and I will also give your camels a Drink.' So I drank, and she also gave the camels a Drink.

47 I asked her, and said, 'Whose daughter are you?' She said, 'The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him.' I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands.

48 I bowed my head, and worshiped Yahweh, and blessed Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter for his son.

49 Now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me. If not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left."

50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered, "The thing proceeds from Yahweh. We can't speak to you bad or good.

51 Behold, Rebekah is before you. Take her, and go, and let her be your master's son's wife, as Yahweh has spoken."

52 It happened that when Abraham's servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth to Yahweh.

53 The servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious things to her brother and her mother.

54 They ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, and stayed all night. They rose up in the morning, and he said, "Send me away to my master."

55 Her brother and her mother said, "Let the young lady stay with us a few days, at least ten. After that she will go."

56 He said to them, "Don't hinder me, since Yahweh has prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master."

57 They said, "We will call the young lady, and ask her."

58 They called Rebekah, and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" She said, "I will go."

59 They sent away Rebekah, their sister, with her nurse, Abraham's servant, and his men.

60 They blessed Rebekah, and said to her, "Our sister, may you be the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and let your seed possess the gate of those who hate them."

61 Rebekah arose with her ladies. They rode on the camels, and followed the man. The servant took Rebekah, and went his way.

62 Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he lived in the land of the South.

63 Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the evening. He lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, there were camels coming.

64 Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she dismounted from the camel.

65 She said to the servant, "Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?" The servant said, "It is my master." She took her veil, and covered herself.

66 The servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.

67 Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife. He loved her. Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
