1 Und Jehova sprach zu Mose: Haue dir zwei steinerne Tafeln aus wie die ersten, und ich werde auf die Tafeln die Worte schreiben, welche auf den ersten Tafeln waren, die du zerbrochen hast.

2 Und sei bereit auf den Morgen, und steige am Morgen auf den Berg Sinai und stehe daselbst vor mir auf dem Gipfel des Berges.

3 Und niemand soll mit dir heraufsteigen, und es soll selbst niemand auf dem ganzen Berge gesehen werden; sogar Kleinvieh und Rinder sollen nicht gegen diesen Berg hin weiden.

4 Und er hieb zwei steinerne Tafeln aus wie die ersten; und Mose stand des Morgens früh auf und stieg auf den Berg Sinai, so wie Jehova ihm geboten hatte, und nahm, die zwei steinernen Tafeln in seine Hand.

5 Und Jehova stieg in der Wolke hernieder, und er stand daselbst bei ihm und rief den Namen Jehovas aus.

6 Und Jehova ging vor seinem Angesicht vorüber und rief: Jehova, Jehova, Gott, barmherzig und gnädig, langsam zum Zorn und groß an Güte und Wahrheit,

7 der Güte bewahrt auf Tausende hin, der Ungerechtigkeit, Übertretung und Sünde vergibt, aber keineswegs hält er für schuldlos den Schuldigen, der die Ungerechtigkeit der Väter heimsucht an den Kindern und Kindeskindern, am dritten und am vierten Gliede.

8 Und Mose neigte sich eilends zur Erde und betete an und sprach:

9 Wenn ich doch Gnade gefunden habe in deinen Augen, Herr, so ziehe doch der Herr in unserer Mitte denn es ist ein hartnäckiges Volk und vergib unsere Ungerechtigkeit und unsere Sünde, und nimm uns an zum Eigentum.

10 Und er sprach: Siehe, ich mache einen Bund: Vor deinem ganzen Volke will ich Wunder tun, die nicht gewirkt worden sind auf der ganzen Erde und unter allen Nationen; und das ganze Volk, in dessen Mitte du bist, soll das Werk Jehovas sehen; denn furchtbar ist, was ich mit dir tun werde.

11 Beobachte, was ich dir heute gebiete. Siehe, ich will vor dir vertreiben die Amoriter und die Kanaaniter und die Hethiter und die Perisiter und die Hewiter und die Jebusiter.

12 Hüte dich, daß du nicht einen Bund machest mit den Bewohnern des Landes, wohin du kommen wirst, daß sie nicht zum Fallstrick werden in deiner Mitte;

13 sondern ihre Altäre sollt ihr niederreißen und ihre Bildsäulen zerbrechen und ihre Ascherim ausrotten, -

14 denn du sollst nicht einen anderen Gott anbeten; denn Jehova, dessen Name Eiferer ist, ist ein eifernder Gott; -

15 daß du nicht einen Bund machest mit den Bewohnern des Landes und, wenn sie ihren Göttern nachhuren und ihren Göttern opfern, man dich einlade, und du von ihrem Schlachtopfer essest

16 und du von ihren Töchtern für deine Söhne nehmest, und ihre Töchter ihren Göttern nachhuren und machen, daß deine Söhne ihren Göttern nachhuren.

17 Gegossene Götter sollst du dir nicht machen. -

18 Das Fest der ungesäuerten Brote sollst du beobachten; sieben Tage sollst du Ungesäuertes essen, wie ich dir geboten habe, zur bestimmten Zeit des Monats Abib; denn im Monat Abib bist du aus Ägypten ausgezogen. -

19 Alles, was die Mutter bricht, ist mein; und all dein Vieh, das männlich geboren wird, das Erstgeborene vom Rind-und Kleinvieh.

20 Und das Erstgeborene vom Esel sollst du lösen mit einem Lamme; und wenn du es nicht lösest, so brich ihm das Genick. Jeden Erstgeborenen deiner Söhne sollst du lösen. Und man soll nicht leer erscheinen vor meinem Angesicht. -

21 Sechs Tage sollst du arbeiten, aber am siebten Tage sollst du ruhen; in der Pflügezeit und in der Ernte sollst du ruhen. -

22 Und das Fest der Wochen, der Erstlinge der Weizenernte, sollst du feiern; und das Fest der Einsammlung beim Umlauf des Jahres. -

23 Dreimal im Jahre sollen alle deine Männlichen erscheinen vor dem Angesicht des Herrn Jehova, des Gottes Israels.

24 Denn ich werde die Nationen vor dir austreiben und deine Grenze erweitern; und niemand wird deines Landes begehren, wenn du hinaufziehst, um vor dem Angesicht Jehovas, deines Gottes, zu erscheinen dreimal im Jahre. -

25 Du sollst nicht das Blut meines Schlachtopfers zu Gesäuertem opfern; und das Schlachtopfer des Passahfestes soll nicht über Nacht bleiben bis an den Morgen. -

26 Das Erste der Erstlinge deines Landes sollst du in das Haus Jehovas, deines Gottes, bringen. Du sollst ein Böcklein nicht kochen in der Milch seiner Mutter.

27 Und Jehova sprach zu Mose: Schreibe dir diese Worte auf; denn nach dem Inhalt dieser Worte habe ich mit dir und mit Israel einen Bund gemacht.

28 Und er war daselbst bei Jehova vierzig Tage und vierzig Nächte; er kein Brot und trank kein Wasser. Und er schrieb auf die Tafeln die Worte des Bundes, die zehn Worte.

29 Und es Geschah, als Mose von dem Berge Sinai herabstieg, -und die zwei Tafeln des Zeugnisses waren in der Hand Moses, als er von dem Berge herabstieg, da wußte Mose nicht, daß die Haut seines Angesichts strahlte, weil er mit ihm geredet hatte.

30 Und Aaron und alle Kinder Israel sahen Mose an, und siehe, die Haut seines Angesichts strahlte; und sie fürchteten sich, ihm zu nahen.

31 Und Mose rief ihnen zu, und sie wandten sich zu ihm, Aaron und alle Fürsten in der Gemeinde; und Mose redete zu ihnen.

32 Und danach nahten sich alle Kinder Israel; und er gebot ihnen alles, was Jehova auf dem Berge Sinai zu ihm geredet hatte.

33 Und Mose hörte auf, mit ihnen zu reden. Und er hatte eine Decke auf sein Angesicht gelegt.

34 Und wenn Mose vor Jehova hineinging, um mit ihm zu reden, tat er die Decke ab, bis er hinausging; und er ging hinaus und redete zu den Kindern Israel, was ihm geboten war;

35 und die Kinder Israel sahen das Angesicht Moses, daß die Haut des Angesichts Moses strahlte; und Mose tat die Decke wieder auf sein Angesicht, bis er hineinging, um mit ihm zu reden.

6752. 'And she called his name Moses' means the essential nature of the state then. This is clear from the meaning of 'name' and 'calling the name as the essential nature, dealt with in 144, 145, 1754, 1896, 2009, 2714, 3006, 3421, 6674, at this point the essential nature of a state because when someone's name is mentioned, that particular name used then means the state, 1946, 2643, 3422, 4298. This essential nature of a state that is meant is the nature of the state of the law of God as it was in the beginning with the Lord, and the nature of the state of God's truth as it is in the beginning with a person who is being regenerated. There are two people primarily who represent the Lord with respect to the Word, namely Moses and Elijah. Moses represents the Lord with respect to the historical books, Elijah with respect to the Prophets. In addition to those two there is Elisha, and lastly John the Baptist, who is therefore the one who is meant by 'the Elijah who is to come', Matthew 17:10-13; Luke 1:17. But before one can show that Moses represents the law of God, one must say what the law of God is. In a broad sense God's law means the whole Word; in a narrower sense it means the historical section of the Word; in a restricted sense it means what was written through Moses; and in a very restricted sense it means the Ten Commandments written upon Mount Sinai on tablets of stone. Moses represents the law in the narrower sense as well as in the restricted sense and also in the very restricted.

[2] In a broad sense the Law is the whole Word, both the historical section and the prophetical part. This is clear in John,

We have heard from the Law that the Christ (the Messiah) remains forever. John 12:34.

The fact that 'the Law' here is used to mean the prophetical part as well is self-evident, for this is a reference to what is written in Isaiah 9:6-7; in David, Psalms 110:4; and in Daniel 7:13-14. In the same gospel,

In order that the Word written in the Law might be fulfilled, They hated Me without a cause. John 15:25.

Much the same applies here, for it is a reference to what is written in David, Psalms 35:19. In Matthew,

Truly I say to you, Even until heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one small part of a letter will not pass from the Law till all things are done. Matthew 5:18.

Here 'the Law' in a broad sense stands for the whole Word.

[3] The Law in a narrower sense is the historical section of the Word. This is clear in Matthew,

All things whatever you wish people to do to you, do also to them; for this is the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 7:12.

Here the Word is divided into 'the Law' and 'the Prophets'; and as the Word has been divided into the historical section and the prophetical part, it follows that 'the Law' is used to mean the historical section of the Word, and 'the Prophets' to mean the prophetical part. A similar example occurs in the same gospel,

On these two commandments hang the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 22:40.

And in Luke,

The Law and the Prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God is proclaimed. Luke 16:16; Matthew 11:13.

[4] In a restricted sense the Law is the Word that was written through Moses. This is clear in Moses,

When Moses had finished writing the words of this Law in a book, even until he had completed them, Moses commanded the Levites carrying the ark of Jehovah, saying, Take the book of this Law, and put it at the side of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God. Deuteronomy 31:14-26.

'The book of the Law' stands for the Books of Moses. In the same book,

If you do not take care to do all the words of this Law which are written in this book, Jehovah will send 1 upon you every sickness and every plague that is not written in the book of this Law, until you are destroyed. Deuteronomy 28:58, 61.

The meaning is similar here. In David,

In the Law of Jehovah is his delight, and in His Law he meditates day and night. Psalms 1:2.

'The Law of Jehovah' stands for the Books of Moses, for the prophetical books had not yet been written; nor had the historical books apart from the Book of Joshua and the Book of Judges. In addition this restricted meaning of 'the Law' occurs in places containing the expression 'the Law of Moses', which are dealt with immediately below.

[5] In a very restricted sense the Law is the Ten Commandments written upon Mount Sinai on the tablets of stone, as is well known, see Joshua 8:32. This Law is also called the Testimony, Exodus 25:16, 21.

[6] Moses represents the Law in the narrower sense, which is the historical section of the Word, also the Law in the restricted sense, and in the very restricted sense too. This is clear from those places in the Word in which the name Moses is used instead of the Law, and those in which the Law is called the Law of Moses, as in Luke,

Abraham said to him, They have Moses and the Prophets, let them hear them. If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone rises from the dead. Luke 16:29, 31.

Here 'Moses and the Prophets' has the same meaning as 'the Law and the Prophets', which is the historical section and the prophetical part of the Word. From this it is evident that 'Moses' is the Law or historical section of the Word. In the same gospel,

Jesus beginning at Moses and all the prophets explained in all the scriptures the things that concerned Himself. Luke 24:27.

In the same chapter,

All things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me. Luke 24:44.

In John,

Philip said, We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the Law - Jesus. John 1:45.

In the same gospel,

In the Law Moses commanded us. John 8:5.

In Daniel,

The curse and the oath which was written in the Law of Moses the servant of God has come down onto us, because we have sinned against Him. As it is written in the Law of Moses, All this evil has come upon us. Daniel 9:11, 13.

In Joshua,

Joshua wrote on the stone of the altar a copy of the Law of Moses. Joshua 8:32.

[7] The expression 'the Law of Moses' is used because Moses represents the Lord with respect to the Law, that is, the Word, and in a narrower sense the historical section of the Word. This explains why what is the Lord's is ascribed to Moses, as in John,

Moses gave you the Law, Moses gave you circumcision. If a man (homo) receives circumcision on the sabbath, so that the Law of Moses may not be broken... John 7:19, 22-23.

In Mark,

Moses said, Honour your father and your mother. Mark 7:10.

In the same gospel,

Jesus answering said to them, What did Moses command you? They said, Moses permitted him to write a certificate of divorce, and to put her away. Mark 10:3-4.

And because what is the Lord's is ascribed to Moses on account of his representation, both 'the Law of Moses' and 'the Law of the Lord' are used in Luke,

When the days of their purification according to the Law of Moses were completed, they brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord (as it has been written in the Law of the Lord, that every male opening the womb is to be called holy to the Lord) and to offer a sacrifice according to what has been stated in the Law of the Lord, A pair of turtle doves and two young pigeons. Luke 2:22-24, 39.

[8] Because Moses represented the Law he was allowed to go in to the Lord on Mount Sinai, not only to receive there the tablets containing the Law but also to hear the statutes and judgements belonging to the Law, and to enjoin these commands on the people. It is also said that the people should therefore believe in Moses forever,

Jehovah said to Moses, Behold, I will come to you in a thick cloud, so that the people may hear when I speak to you, and also may believe in you forever. Exodus 19:9.

The expression 'in a thick cloud' is used because 'cloud' means the letter of the Word. Here also is the reason why it says, when Moses went in to the Lord on Mount Sinai, that he went 'into the cloud', Exodus 20:21; 14:2, 18; 34:2-5. For the meaning of 'the cloud' as the literal sense of the Word, see the Preface to Genesis 18, and also 4060, 4391, 5922, 6343 (end).

[9] And since Moses represented the Law or the Word, it also says that when he came down from Mount Sinai the skin on his face shone whenever he spoke, and so he would put a veil over his face, Exodus 34:28-end. 'The shining of his face' meant the inner spirit of the Law, for this dwells in the light of heaven and is therefore called the glory, 5922. While 'the veil' meant the outward form of the Law. The reason why he veiled his face whenever he spoke to the people was that the inner spirit was concealed from them, and had become so obscure to that people that they could not bear any light from it. For the meaning of 'the face' as that which is internal, see 1999, 2434, 3527, 7577, 4066, 4796-4805, 5102, 5695. Since 'Moses' represented the Lord with respect to the historical section of the Word and 'Elijah' represented the Lord with respect to the prophetical part, Moses and Elijah were therefore seen talking to the Lord at His transfiguration, Matthew 17:3. No others except those who represented the Word could have talked to the Lord when He manifested His Divinity in the world; for talking to the Lord is done through the Word. Regarding Elijah's representation of the Lord with respect to the Word, see 1762, 5247 (end).

[10] And since these two together, both Moses and Elijah, represented the whole Word, both are mentioned in Malachi where the sending of Elijah before the Lord is referred to,

Remember the Law of Moses, My servant, which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel - the statutes and judgements. Lo, I am sending you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrifying day of Jehovah comes. Malachi 4:4-6.

These words imply that one was to go before who was to announce the [Lord's] Coming, in accordance with the Word.
