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.

7988. 'That all the hosts of Jehovah went out of the land of Egypt' means that those with whom truth and good were present but who had been held back until then were released. This is clear from the meaning of 'going out of the land of Egypt' as being released and delivered from molestations, 'going out' self-evidently meaning being released, while 'the land of Egypt' means molestations, see 7278; and from the meaning of 'the hosts of Jehovah' as the truths and forms of good that the spiritual Church possesses, and so those with whom truth and good are present, dealt with in 3448, 7236. The fact that truths and forms of good are meant by 'the hosts of Jehovah' is clear in Daniel,

There came out one small-sized horn of the he-goat, and it grew exceedingly towards the south, and towards the east, and towards the glorious [land]. And it grew even towards the hosts of heaven, and cast down to the earth some of the host, and of the stars, and trampled on them. It drew itself up even towards the prince of the host. And the host was set over the continual [burnt offering] on account of the transgression, because it cast down truth to the earth. At that point I heard a holy one speaking, How long is both the sanctuary and the host being trodden down? He said to me, Up to the evening and morning, two thousand three hundred times; then the sanctuary will be made correct. Daniel 8:9-14.

Here it is plainly evident that 'the hosts' means truths and forms of good, for it says that [the hem] cast down to the earth some of the host and of the stars, and after this that it cast down truth to the earth, and that the host was to be trodden down up to the evening and morning, which is the Lord's Coming.

[2] Since truths and forms of good make up 'the hosts of Jehovah', angels are therefore called His 'hosts' in the first Book of Kings,

Micah the prophet said, I saw Jehovah sitting on His throne, and the entire host of heaven standing beside Him. 1 Kings 22:19.

And in David,

Bless Jehovah, His angels, powerful with strength; bless Jehovah, all His hosts, His ministers. Psalms 103:20-21.

Angels are called 'hosts' by virtue of the truths and forms of good present with them. Not only angels used to be referred to as the hosts of Jehovah but also the lights in the sky - the sun, moon, and stars. And they were referred to as such because 'the sun' was a sign of the good of love, 'the moon' a sign of the good of faith, and 'the stars' a sign of cognitions of goodness and truth. Reference to those lights as 'hosts' is evident in the Book of Genesis,

The heavens and the earth were finished, and all their hosts. Genesis 1:1.

Here 'hosts' is used to mean all the lights in the sky; but in the internal sense, in which the subject at that point is the new creation of a person, 'hosts' is used to mean truths and forms of good.

[3] Likewise in David,

Praise Jehovah, all His angels, praise Him, all His hosts; praise Him, sun and moon, praise Him, all stars of light. Psalms 148:1, 3.

'Sun' means the good of love, and 'moon' the good of faith, see 1529, 1530, 2441, 2495, 4060, 4696, 5377, 7083; and 'stars' means cognitions of good and truth, 1808, 2120, 2495, 2849, 4697.

[4] One reason why 'sun, moon, and stars' means forms of good and truths is that in heaven the Lord is a Sun to those who are celestial and a Moon to those who are spiritual, 1521, 1529-1531, 3636, 3643, 4300, 4721 (end), 5097, 7078, 7083, 7171, 7173; and another reason is that angelic dwelling-places shine like stars, in keeping with the following in Daniel,

Then those who have intelligence will shine like the brightness of the expanse, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and into eternity. Daniel 12:9.

[5] Since angels, by virtue of truths and forms of good, are spoken of as 'the hosts of Jehovah', and also the sun, moon, and stars are called such, and since all truth and good come from the Lord, the Word refers to the Lord as Jehovah Zebaoth, that is, Jehovah of Hosts, 3448. And another reason why it refers to Him in this way is that He fights on a person's behalf against the hells.

From all this one may now see what 'the hosts of Jehovah' is used to mean in the internal sense. The children of Jacob who went out of Egypt were not such, though they represented them. This is evident from their life in Egypt, where they were unacquainted with Jehovah, even with His name before it was made known to Moses from the bramble bush, Exodus 3:13-16; and also they were calf-worshippers no less than the Egyptians were, as may be deduced from Exodus 32. And their life in the wilderness too shows that their character was such that they could not be led into the land of Canaan. Thus they were anything but the hosts of Jehovah.
