1 Между тјмъ народъ, видя, что Моисей долго не сходитъ съ горы, собрался къ Аарону, и говорилъ ему: встань и сдјлай намъ бога, который бы шелъ передъ нами: ибо съ Моисеемъ, съ этимъ человјкомъ, который вывелъ насъ изъ земли Египетской, не знаемъ, что сдјлалось.

2 Ааронъ сказалъ имъ: выдерните золотыя серьги, которыя въ ушахъ вашихъ женъ, вашихъ сыновъ и вашихъ дочерей, и принесите ко мнј.

3 Весь народъ выдернулъ золотыя серьги, которыя были въ ушахъ ихъ, и принесли къ Аарону.

4 Онъ взялъ у нихъ изъ рукъ и, сдјлавъ изъ нихъ литаго тельца, обдјлалъ его рјзцемъ; и сказали они: Израиль! вотъ Богъ твой, который вывелъ тебя изъ земли Египетской.

5 Видя сіе, Ааронъ поставилъ передъ нимъ жертвенникъ; и провозгласилъ Ааронъ, говоря: завтра праздникъ Іеговј.

6 На другой день встали рано, принесли всесожженія, и привели жертвы благодарственныя: потомъ народъ сјлъ јсть и пить, а послј всталъ играть.

7 Тогда Іегова сказалъ Моисею: поди, сойди: ибо развратился народъ твой, который ты вывелъ изъ земли Египетской;

8 скоро уклонились они съ пути, который Я предписалъ имъ; они сдјлали себј литаго тельца, и поклоняются ему, и приносятъ ему жертвы и говорятъ: Израиль! вотъ богъ твой, который вывелъ тебя изъ земли Египетской.

9 И сказалъ Іегова Моисею: Я вижу народъ сей, и вотъ, это жестоковыйный народъ.

10 Итакъ не препятствуй Мнј, и воспламенится гнјвъ Мой на нихъ, и истреблю ихъ и содјлаю тебя великимъ народомъ.

11 Но Моисей сталъ умолять Іегову, Бога своего, и сказалъ: почто, Іегова, воспламеняться гнјву Твоему на народъ Твой, который Ты вывелъ изъ земли Египетской силою великою и рукою крјпкою?

12 На что допускать, чтобъ Египтяне говорили: на погибель Онъ вывелъ ихъ, чтобы убить ихъ въ горахъ, и истребить ихъ съ лица земли? Отврати пламенный гнјвъ Твой, и отмјни погубленіе народа Твоего.

13 Вспомни Авраама, Исаака и Израиля, рабовъ Твоихъ, которымъ клялся Ты Собою, и говорилъ имъ: умножу сјмя ваше, подобно звјздамъ небеснымъ, и всю землю сію, о которой Я сказалъ, дамъ сјмени вашему, чтобы наслјдовали на вјки.

14 И отмјнилъ Іегова зло, о которомъ сказалъ было, что наведетъ его на народъ Свой.

15 И обратился Моисей, и сошелъ съ горы, и двј скрижали откровенія въ рукј его, скрижали, на которыхъ было написано съ објихъ сторонъ, и на той и на другой сторонј написано было.

16 Скрижали сіи были дјло Божіе, и письмена, начертанныя на сихъ скрижаляхъ, были письмена Божіи.

17 И услышалъ Іисусъ голосъ народа шумящаго, и сказалъ Моисею: военный крикъ въ станј.

18 Но Моисей отвјчалъ: это не крикъ восклицающихъ: побјда! и не крикъ вопіющихъ: погибель! Я слышу голосъ поющихъ.

19 Когда же приближился Моисей къ стану, и увидјлъ тельца и пляски: тогда онъ воспламенился гнјвомъ, и бросилъ изъ рукъ своихъ скрижали, и разбилъ ихъ подъ горою.

20 Потомъ взялъ тельца, котораго они сдјлали, и сжегъ въ огнј, и стеръ въ пыль, и разсыпалъ по водј, и заставилъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ пить.

21 И сказалъ Моисей Аарону: что сдјлалъ тебј народъ сей, что ты ввелъ его въ такой великій грјхъ?

22 Но Ааронъ отвјчалъ: да не возгарается гнјвъ господина моего; ты знаешь этотъ народъ, какъ онъ золъ.

23 Они сказали мнј: сдјлай намъ бога, который бы шелъ передъ нами: ибо съ Моисеемъ, съ симъ человјкомъ, который вывелъ насъ изъ земли Египетской, не знаемъ, что сдјлалось.

24 На сіе я сказалъ имъ: у кого есть золото, снимите съ себя; они отдали мнј, и я бросилъ его въ огонь, и вышелъ этотъ телецъ.

25 Моисей видјлъ, какъ народъ былъ разстроенъ, потому что Ааронъ допустилъ его до разстройства, къ посрамленію предъ врагами ихъ.

26 И сталъ Моисей въ воротахъ стана и сказалъ: кто за Іегову, ко мнј! и собрались къ нему всј сыны Левіины.

27 Онъ сказалъ имъ: такъ говоритъ Іегова, Богъ Израилевъ: возложите каждый свой мечъ на бедро свое, пройдите по стану отъ воротъ до воротъ и обратно, и убивайте каждый брата своего, и каждый ближняго своего.

28 И сдјлали сыны Левіины по слову Моисея: и пало въ тотъ день изъ народа около трехъ тысячъ человјкъ.

29 Ибо сказалъ Моисей: сегодня посвятите руки ваши Іеговј, налагая ихъ каждый на сына своего и брата своего; сіе принесетъ вамъ сегодня благословеніе.

30 На другой день Моисей сказалъ народу: вы сдјлали великій грјхъ; и такъ я взойду къ Іеговј, не заглажу ли грјха вашего.

31 И возвратился Моисей къ Іеговј, и сказалъ: ахъ! согрјшилъ народъ сей, согрјшилъ тяжко, они сдјлали себј золотаго бога.

32 И нынј простишь ли грјхъ ихъ? а если нјтъ, то изгладь меня изъ книги Твоей, въ которую Ты вписалъ.

33 Іегова сказалъ Моисею: того, кто согрјшилъ, изглажу изъ книги Моей.

34 Итакъ иди, веди народъ сей, куда Я сказалъ тебј; се, Ангелъ Мой пойдетъ предъ тобою: но въ день посјщенія Моего Я посјщу ихъ за грјхъ ихъ.

35 И поразилъ Іегова народъ за то, что сдјлали тельца, котораго сдјлалъ Ааронъ.

10401. 'And Aaron said to them' means the outward features of the Word, the Church, and worship, devoid of the inward. This is clear from the representation here of 'Aaron' as the outward features of the Word, the Church, and worship, devoid of the inward, dealt with above in 10397. The fact that no Church existed among the Israelite and Jewish nation, only what was representative of a Church, thus an outward form devoid of the inward substance, is perfectly clear from Aaron, who, though a typical member of that nation, was nevertheless made the high priest, to whom the most sacred things of the Church were entrusted, and who was therefore considered to be holier than everyone else. For it is said of him that he made the golden calf, built an altar for it, made a proclamation that there was to be 'a feast to Jehovah' for it, brought that sin upon the people, and caused them to become undisciplined, in verses 2, 4-5, 21, 25, 35; and elsewhere that Jehovah was greatly moved with anger against Aaron and would have destroyed him, and that Moses prayed for him, Deuteronomy 9:20. These words imply that Aaron was like the people, who were idolatrous at heart, 4208, 4281, 4820, 5998, 6877, 7401, 8301, 8882. But since only the outward form of a Church devoid of its inward substance existed with that nation, and yet by means of it there was contact with heaven, it did not matter what a person there was like, provided that when engaged in external observances he obeyed what had been decreed and revered it.

In the case of representatives no attention is paid to the person, only to the reality represented by that person, see 665, 1097(end), 3670, 4208, 4281, 4288, 4444, 8588.

Arcana Coelestia#6674

6674. 'Of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah' means the nature and state of the natural where that factual knowledge resided. This is clear from the meaning of 'the name' as the essential nature, dealt with in 144, 145, 1896, 2009, and also the state, 1946, 2643, 3422, 4298. For the names contained in the Word all serve to mean different realities, each name embodying in a nutshell all the characteristics, thus the nature and state of that reality to which it refers. Here therefore the names Shiphrah and Puah mean the nature and state of the natural where true factual knowledge resides since this is the reality to which those names refer, as is evident from what appears immediately before this in 6673. A person who is unaware of the fact that a name serves to mean the nature and state of the reality to which it refers can only think that no more than the name is meant when that name is mentioned.

[2] Thus he can only think that when the Lord speaks of His name no more than this is meant, when in fact what is meant is the essential nature of the worship of Him, that is to say, every aspect of faith and charity through which He is to be worshipped, as in Matthew,

Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them. Matthew 18:20.

Not the name is meant here, but worship flowing from faith and charity. In John,

As many as received Him, to them He gave power to be sons of God, to those believing in His name. John 1:12.

Here also 'name' is used to mean faith and charity from which the Lord is worshipped. In the same gospel,

These things have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. John 20:31.

Here the meaning is similar.

[3] In the same gospel,

If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. John 14:13-14.

And elsewhere,

Whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give it to you. John 15:16-17; 16:23-24.

The real meaning here is not that they were to ask the Father in the Lord's name, but that they were to ask the Lord Himself. For no access lies open to Divine Good, which is the Father, 3704, except through the Lord's Divine Human, as the various Churches also well know. This being so, asking the Lord Himself is a request made in accordance with the truths of faith; and if the request is indeed made in accord with them it is granted, as He Himself also says in the place in John quoted immediately before - If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. This matter is made even clearer by the fact that the Lord is meant by Jehovah's 'name', when mentioned as follows in Moses,

I send an angel before you to guard you on the way. Take notice of His face, and hearken to His voice, and do not provoke Him, since My name is in the midst of Him. Exodus 23:20-21.

[4] In John,

Father, glorify Your name. A voice came from heaven, I have both glorified it and will glorify it again. John 12:28.

In the same gospel,

I have manifested Your name to the men (homo) whom You gave to Me out of the world. I made known to them Your name, and I will make it known, that the love with which You have loved Me may be in them, and I in them. John 17:6, 26.

From these quotations it is evident that the Lord's Divine Human is Jehovah's name or whole essential nature. Consequently all Divine worship begins in the Divine Human; and the Divine Human is what one is to worship, for by worshipping this one worships the Divine Himself, no thought of whom can otherwise be formed. And if no such thought can be formed, there can be no communion with Him either.

[5] The truth that the Lord's 'name' is everything constituting the faith and love through which He is to be worshipped is still further evident from the following places: In Matthew,

You will be hated by everyone for My name's sake. Matthew 10:22.

In the same gospel,

He who receives one little child like this in My name receives Me. Matthew 18:5.

In the same gospel,

Everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields, for My name's sake, will receive a hundredfold. Matthew 19:29.

In the same gospel,

They shouted, Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. Matthew 21:9.

In Luke,

Truly I tell you; for you will not see Me until [the time] comes so that you say, Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Luke 13:35.

In Mark,

Whoever gives you drink from a cup of water in My name because you are Christ's, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward. Mark 9:41.

In Luke,

The seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are obedient to us in Your name. Jesus said to them, Do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are obedient to you, but rejoice rather that your names have been written in heaven. Luke 10:17, 20.

'Names written in heaven' are not those people's their faith and charity.

[6] Much the same is meant by 'names written in the Apocalypse,

You have a few names also in Sardis, who have not soiled their garments. He who conquers will be clad in white garments and I will not blot his name out of the book of life; and I will confess his name before the Father and before His angels. Revelation 3:4-5.

Like wise in John,

The one entering by the door is the shepherd of the sheep; he calls his own sheep by name. John 10:2-3.

In Exodus,

Jehovah said to Moses, I know you by name. Exodus 33:12, 17.

In John,

Many believed in His name, seeing His signs which He did. John 2:13.

[7] In the same gospel,

He who believes in Him is not judged: but he who does not believe is judged already because he has not be lifted in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:18.

In Isaiah,

They will fear the name of Jehovah from the west. Isaiah 59:19.

In Micah,

All the peoples walk in the name of their God and we will walk in the name of our God. Micah 4:5.

In Moses it says they were to worship Jehovah God in the place which He would choose and in which He would put His name. Deuteronomy 12:5, 11, 14. Similar phrases occur in Isaiah 18:7 and Jeremiah 7:12, and in many other places besides these, such as Isaiah 26:8, 13; 41:25; 43:7; 49:1; 50:10; 52:5; 26:16; Ezekiel 20:14, 44; 36:21-23; Micah 5:4; Malachi 1:11; Deuteronomy 10:8; Revelation 2:17; 3:12; 13:8; 14:11; 15:2; 17:8; 19:12-13, 16; 22:3-4.

[8] The fact that Jehovah's name means everything involved in the worship of Him, thus in the highest sense everything that goes out from the Lord, is clear in the Blessing,

Jehovah bless you and keep you;

Jehovah make His face shine upon you and be merciful to you;

Jehovah lift up His face upon you and give you peace.

So shall they put My name upon the sons of Israel. Numbers 6:23-27.

From all this one may now see what is meant by the following commandment in the Decalogue,

You shall not take the name of your God in vain, for Jehovah will not hold him innocent who has taken His name in vain. Exodus 20:7.

One may likewise see what is meant in the Lord's Prayer by hallowed be Your name, Matthew 6:9.
