学习

   

1 Und er sprach zu Mose: Steige zu Jehova herauf, du und Aaron, Nadab und Abihu und siebzig von den Ältesten Israels, und betet an von ferne.

2 Und Mose allein nahe sich zu Jehova; sie aber sollen sich nicht nahen, und das Volk soll nicht mit ihm heraufsteigen.

3 Und Mose kam und erzählte dem Volke alle Worte Jehovas und alle Rechte; und das ganze Volk antwortete mit einer Stimme und sprach: Alle Worte, die Jehova geredet hat, wollen wir tun.

4 Und Mose schrieb alle Worte Jehovas nieder. Und er machte sich des Morgens früh auf und baute einen Altar unten am Berge und zwölf Denksteine nach den zwölf Stämmen Israels.

5 Und er sandte Jünglinge der Kinder Israel hin, und sie opferten Brandopfer und schlachteten Friedensopfer von Farren dem Jehova.

6 Und Mose nahm die Hälfte des Blutes und tat es in Schalen, und die Hälfte des Blutes sprengte er an den Altar.

7 Und er nahm das Buch des Bundes und las es vor den Ohren des Volkes; und sie sprachen: Alles, was Jehova geredet hat, wollen wir tun und gehorchen.

8 Und Mose nahm das Blut und sprengte es auf das Volk und sprach: Siehe, das Blut des Bundes, den Jehova mit euch gemacht hat über alle diese Worte.

9 Und es stiegen hinauf Mose und Aaron, Nadab und Abihu, und siebzig von den Ältesten Israels;

10 und sie sahen den Gott Israels; und unter seinen Füßen war es wie ein Werk von Saphirplatten und wie der Himmel selbst an Klarheit.

11 Und er streckte seine Hand nicht aus gegen die Edlen der Kinder Israel; und sie schauten Gott und aßen und tranken.

12 Und Jehova sprach zu Mose: Steige zu mir herauf auf den Berg und sei daselbst; und ich werde dir die steinernen Tafeln geben und das Gesetz und das Gebot, das ich geschrieben habe, um sie zu belehren.

13 Und Mose machte sich auf mit Josua, seinem Diener, und Mose stieg auf den Berg Gottes.

14 Und er sprach zu den Ältesten: Wartet hier auf uns, bis wir zu euch zurückkehren; und siehe, Aaron und Hur sind bei euch: wer irgend eine Sache hat, trete vor sie.

15 Und Mose stieg auf den Berg, und die Wolke bedeckte den Berg.

16 Und die Herrlichkeit Jehovas ruhte auf dem Berge Sinai, und die Wolke bedeckte ihn sechs Tage; und am siebten Tage rief er Mose aus der Mitte der Wolke.

17 Und das Ansehen der Herrlichkeit Jehovas war wie ein verzehrendes Feuer auf dem Gipfel des Berges vor den Augen der Kinder Israel.

18 Und Mose ging mitten in die Wolke hinein und stieg auf den Berg; und Mose war auf dem Berge vierzig Tage und vierzig Nächte.

9392. Verses 6-8 And Moses took half of the blood and put it in bowls, and half of the blood he sprinkled over the altar. And he took the book of the covenant, and read it in the ears of the people; and they said, All that Jehovah has spoken we will do and hear. And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it over the people, and said, Behold, the blood of the covenant which Jehovah has made with you according to all these words. 'And Moses took half of the blood' means Divine Truth which has become a matter of life and of worship.

'And put it in bowls' means present with a person, in the things forming his memory. 'And half of the blood he sprinkled over the altar' means Divine Truth from the Lord's Divine Human. 'And he took the book of the covenant' means the Word in the letter to which the Word in heaven was joined. 'And read it in the ears of the people' means to be listened to and obeyed. 'And they said, All that Jehovah has spoken we will do and hear' means receiving the truth that emanates from the Lord's Divine Human, and obeying it with heart and soul. 'And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it over the people' means making a person well-adapted to receive it. 'And said, Behold, the blood of the covenant' means that by means of this truth the Lord's Divine Human is joined to heaven and to earth. 'Which Jehovah has made with you according to all these words' means that the Lord accomplishes the joining together by means of every single part of the Word.

Arcana Coelestia#2069

2069. 'Kings of peoples will be from her' means truths that are the product of truths and goods joined together, meant by 'kings of peoples'. This is clear from the meaning of 'kings' as all truths in general, dealt with above in 2015, and from the meaning of 'peoples' also as truths, in general all things that are spiritual. For 'kings' are spoken of in reference to peoples, and not so much in reference to nations except when the nations mean evils, dealt with in 1259, 1260. In the prophetical part of the Word kings and peoples are mentioned many times, but nowhere are they used to mean kings and peoples, for at no point are kings and peoples the subject in the Word proper, which is the internal sense, but the celestial and spiritual things comprising the Lord's kingdom, and so goods and truths. The sense of the letter expresses itself by means of perceivable objects, as anyone does with words, merely to enable understanding.

[2] Since the subject here is Sarah and the promise that 'kings of peoples will be from her', and since 'Sarah' means Divine Truth which was the Lord's, 'kings of peoples' clearly means truths that are the product of truths and goods joined together, which are all the truths of the internal Church, that is, the interior truths of faith. Because these truths come from the Lord, they are frequently called 'kings' in the Word, and also 'a king's sons', as shown above in 2015.

[3] Anyone may see that some internal Divine matter lies concealed in the words that 'kings of peoples will be from her'. For the subject in this verse is Isaac, of whom it is said, 'I will bless him, and he will become nations', but of Sarah that 'kings of peoples will be from her'. Almost the same was also said of Abraham in verse 6 above, that 'kings will go out of him'; but it did not say as it does of Sarah, 'kings of peoples'. The arcanum within this lies too deep to allow it to be uncovered and described in a few words. From the representation and meaning of 'Abraham' as Divine Good and from the representation and meaning of 'Sarah' as Divine Truth the arcanum is to some extent evident, namely that from the Lord's Divine Good meant by 'Abraham' all celestial truth will come forth and have its being, and from the Lord's Divine Truth meant by 'Sarah' all spiritual truth will do so. Celestial truth is the truth which exists with celestial angels, and spiritual truth that which exists with spiritual angels. Or what amounts to the same, celestial truth was the truth which existed with members of the Most Ancient Church which came before the Flood and which was a celestial Church, spiritual truth that which existed with members of the Ancient Church which came after the Flood and was a spiritual Church. For angels, as also members of the Church, are distinguished into celestial and spiritual. That which distinguishes the celestial from the spiritual is love to the Lord, and that which distinguishes spiritual from celestial is love towards the neighbour.

[4] No more can be said about celestial truth and spiritual truth however until the difference between the celestial and the spiritual is known, or what amounts to the same, the difference between the celestial Church and the spiritual. For this see Volume One, in 202, 337, 1577; then concerning the nature of the Most Ancient Church and the nature of the Ancient Church, in 597, 607, 640, 765, 1114-1125, and in many other places. On the point that possessing love to the Lord constitutes the celestial, and possessing love towards the neighbour the spiritual, see 2023.

[5] These considerations now show what the arcanum is, namely that 'the kings who will go out of Abraham', referred to in verse 6, mean celestial truths that flow in from the Lord's Divine Good, while 'the kings of peoples who will be from Sarah', referred to in the present verse, mean spiritual truths that flow in from the Lord's Divine Truth. For the Lord's Divine Good is unable to flow in except with the celestial man since it is an influx into the will part of his mind, as was the case with the Most Ancient Church, whereas with the spiritual man the Lord's Divine Truth is flowing in since the influx is solely into the understanding part, which in him has been separated from the will part, 2053 (end). Or what amounts to the same, celestial good is flowing in with the celestial man, and spiritual good with the spiritual man. As a consequence the Lord is seen by celestial angels as the Sun, but by spiritual angels as the Moon, 1529, 1530.
