1 בחדש השלישי לצאת בני־ישראל מארץ מצרים ביום הזה באו מדבר סיני׃

2 ויסעו מרפידים ויבאו מדבר סיני ויחנו במדבר ויחן־שם ישראל נגד ההר׃

3 ומשה עלה אל־האלהים ויקרא אליו יהוה מן־ההר לאמר כה תאמר לבית יעקב ותגיד לבני ישראל׃

4 אתם ראיתם אשר עשיתי למצרים ואשא אתכם על־כנפי נשרים ואבא אתכם אלי׃

5 ועתה אם־שמוע תשמעו בקלי ושמרתם את־בריתי והייתם לי סגלה מכל־העמים כי־לי כל־הארץ׃

6 ואתם תהיו־לי ממלכת כהנים וגוי קדוש אלה הדברים אשר תדבר אל־בני ישראל׃

7 ויבא משה ויקרא לזקני העם וישם לפניהם את כל־הדברים האלה אשר צוהו יהוה׃

8 ויענו כל־העם יחדו ויאמרו כל אשר־דבר יהוה נעשה וישב משה את־דברי העם אל־יהוה׃

9 ויאמר יהוה אל־משה הנה אנכי בא אליך בעב העןן בעבור ישמע העם בדברי עמך וגם־בך יאמינו לעולם ויגד משה את־דברי העם אל־יהוה׃

10 ויאמר יהוה אל־משה לך אל־העם וקדשתם היום ומחר וכבסו שמלתם׃

11 והיו נכנים ליום השלישי כי ביום השלישי ירד יהוה לעיני כל־העם על־הר סיני׃

12 והגבלת את־העם סביב לאמר השמרו לכם עלות בהר ונגע בקצהו כל־הנגע בהר מות יומת׃

13 לא־תגע בו יד כי־סקול יסקל או־ירה יירה אם־בהמה אם־איש לא יחיה במשך היבל המה יעלו בהר׃

14 וירד משה מן־ההר אל־העם ויקדש את־העם ויכבסו שמלתם׃

15 ויאמר אל־העם היו נכנים לשלשת ימים אל־תגשו אל־אשה׃

16 ויהי ביום השלישי בהית הבקר ויהי קלת וברקים ועןן כבד על־ההר וקל שפר חזק מאד ויחרד כל־העם אשר במחנה׃

17 ויוצא משה את־העם לקראת האלהים מן־המחנה ויתיצבו בתחתית ההר׃

18 והר סיני עשן כלו מפני אשר ירד עליו יהוה באש ויעל עשנו כעשן הכבשן ויחרד כל־ההר מאד׃

19 ויהי* קול השופר הולך וחזק מאד משה ידבר והאלהים יעננו בקול׃

20 וירד יהוה על־הר סיני אל־ראש ההר ויקרא יהוה למשה אל־ראש ההר ויעל משה׃

21 ויאמר יהוה אל־משה רד העד בעם פן־יהרסו אל־יהוה לראות ונפל ממנו רב׃

22 וגם הכהנים הנגשים אל־יהוה יתקדשו פן־יפרץ בהם יהוה׃

23 ויאמר משה אל־יהוה לא־יוכל העם לעלת אל־הר סיני כי־אתה העדתה בנו לאמר הגבל את־ההר וקדשתו׃

24 ויאמר אליו יהוה לך־רד ועלית אתה ואהרן עמך והכהנים והעם אל־יהרסו לעלת אל־יהוה פן־יפרץ־בם׃

25 וירד משה אל־העם ויאמר אלהם׃ ס

8760. 'And Moses went up to God' means the truth from God which was below heaven joining itself to Divine Truth in heaven. This is clear from the representation of 'Moses' as the truth from God, dealt with in 6771, 6827, 7014, at this point the truth from God which was below heaven, since he now represents the children of Israel as their head, and so represents those belonging to the spiritual Church not yet in heaven because they are not as yet governed by good formed from truths, 8753, 8754; and from the meaning of 'going up' as joining oneself to, for someone who goes up to the Divine joins himself to Him, even as the words 'going up into heaven' mean man's being joined to the Lord, and the words 'coming down from heaven' mean His being joined to man. Divine Truth in heaven, to which the other was joined, is what 'God' is used to mean; for in the Word the Lord is called 'God' by virtue of Divine Truth, and Jehovah' by virtue of Divine Good, 2586, 2769, 2807, 2822, 3921 (end), 4402, 7010, 7268, 7873, 8301. And since the joining of Divine Truth to Divine Good is the subject here, this verse first says 'God', then 'Jehovah' just after, in these words, And Moses went up to God, and Jehovah called to him from the mountain.

[2] The expression Divine Truth in heaven is used, and then Divine Good in heaven, because the Divine Himself is far above the heavens; not only Divine Goodness itself is far above them but also Divine Truth itself which goes forth directly from Divine Good. The reason why they are far above heaven is that in Himself the Divine is the Infinite, and the Infinite cannot be joined to finite beings, thus not even to angels in heaven, unless He puts on some finite clothing and in that way adapts Himself for reception. Also Divine Good as it exists in itself is a flame of infinite intensity or love, a flame which no angel in heaven can bear; for he would be devoured by it, as a person in the world would be if the flame of the sun were to reach him without anything between them to moderate it. The light also from the flame of God's love, which is Divine Truth, would blind all who are in heaven if it were to flow in without abatement of its fiery brightness. All this goes to show what the difference is between Divine Good and Divine Truth that are above the heavens and Divine Good and Divine Truth in the heavens, which are the subject here.

Exodus第15章

学习

   

1 Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to Yahweh, and said, "I will sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.

2 Yah is my strength and song. He has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will praise him; my father's God, and I will exalt him.

3 Yahweh is a man of war. Yahweh is his name.

4 He has cast Pharaoh's chariots and his army into the sea. His chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea.

5 The deeps cover them. They went down into the depths like a stone.

6 Your right hand, Yahweh, is glorious in power. Your right hand, Yahweh, dashes the enemy in pieces.

7 In the greatness of your excellency, you overthrow those who rise up against you. You send forth your wrath. It consumes them as stubble.

8 With the blast of your nostrils, the waters were piled up. The floods stood upright as a heap. The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.

9 The enemy said, 'I will pursue. I will overtake. I will divide the spoil. My desire shall be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.'

10 You blew with your wind. The sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.

11 Who is like you, Yahweh, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

12 You stretched out your right hand. The earth swallowed them.

13 "You, in your loving kindness, have led the people that you have redeemed. You have guided them in your strength to your holy habitation.

14 The peoples have heard. They tremble. Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia.

15 Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed. Trembling takes hold of the mighty men of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away.

16 Terror and dread falls on them. By the greatness of your arm they are as still as a stone-- until your people pass over, Yahweh, until the people pass over who you have purchased.

17 You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, the place, Yahweh, which you have made for yourself to dwell in; the sanctuary, Lord, which your hands have established.

18 Yahweh shall reign forever and ever."

19 For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and Yahweh brought back the waters of the sea on them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.

20 Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand; and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dances.

21 Miriam answered them, "Sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea."

22 Moses led Israel onward from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.

23 When they came to Marah, they couldn't drink from the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore its name was called Marah.

24 The people murmured against Moses, saying, "What shall we drink?"

25 Then he cried to Yahweh. Yahweh showed him a tree, and he threw it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there he tested them;

26 and he said, "If you will diligently listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and will pay attention to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you, which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am Yahweh who heals you."

27 They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
