Éxodo第24章

学习

   

1 Y dijo a Moisés: Sube al SEÑOR, tú, y Aarón, Nadab, y Abiú, y setenta de los ancianos de Israel; y os inclinaréis desde lejos.

2 Mas Moisés sólo se llegará al SEÑOR; y ellos no se lleguen cerca, ni suba con él el pueblo.

3 Y Moisés vino y contó al pueblo todas las palabras del SEÑOR, y todos los derechos; y todo el pueblo respondió a una voz, y dijeron: Haremos todas las palabras que el SEÑOR ha dicho.

4 Y Moisés escribió todas las palabras del SEÑOR, y levantándose de mañana edificó un altar al pie del monte, y doce columnas, según las doce tribus de Israel.

5 Y envió a los jóvenes de los hijos de Israel, los cuales ofrecieron holocaustos y sacrificaron becerros como sacrificios de paz al SEÑOR.

6 Y Moisés tomó la mitad de la sangre, y la puso en tazones, y esparció la otra mitad de la sangre sobre el altar.

7 Y tomó el libro de la alianza, y leyó a oídos del pueblo, el cual dijo: Haremos todas las cosas que el SEÑOR ha dicho, y oiremos.

8 Entonces Moisés tomó la sangre, y roció sobre el pueblo, y dijo: He aquí la sangre de la alianza que el SEÑOR ha hecho con vosotros sobre todas estas cosas.

9 Y subieron Moisés y Aarón, Nadab y Abiú, y setenta de los ancianos de Israel;

10 y vieron al Dios de Israel; y había debajo de sus pies como un embaldosado de zafiro, semejante al cielo cuando está sereno.

11 Mas no extendió su mano sobre los príncipes de los hijos de Israel; y vieron a Dios, y comieron y bebieron.

12 Entonces el SEÑOR dijo a Moisés: Sube a mí al monte, y espera allá, y te daré tablas de piedra, y la ley, y mandamientos que he escrito para enseñarles.

13 Y se levantó Moisés, y Josué su ministro; y Moisés subió al monte de Dios.

14 Y dijo a los ancianos: Esperadnos aquí hasta que volvamos a vosotros; y he aquí Aarón y Hur están con vosotros; el que tuviere negocios, lléguese a ellos.

15 Entonces Moisés subió al monte, y una nube cubrió el monte.

16 Y la gloria del SEÑOR reposó sobre el monte Sinaí, y la nube lo cubrió por seis días; y al séptimo día llamó a Moisés de en medio de la nube.

17 Y el parecer de la gloria del SEÑOR era como un fuego abrasador en la cumbre del monte, a los ojos de los hijos de Israel.

18 Y entró Moisés en medio de la nube, y subió al monte; y estuvo Moisés en el monte cuarenta días y cuarenta noches.

1860. That 'there was thick darkness' means when hatred existed in place of charity is clear from the meaning of 'thick darkness'. In the Word 'darkness' means falsities, while 'thick darkness' means evils, as explained immediately below. 'Darkness' is when falsity exists in place of truth, and 'thick darkness' when evil exists in place of good, or what amounts entirely to the same, when hatred exists in place of charity. When hatred exists in place of charity the darkness is so thick that the person is not even aware of its being an evil, let alone of its being so great an evil as to thrust him down in the next life into hell; indeed people who are steeped in hatred find a certain delight and so to speak life in it. This very delight and life have the effect that he hardly knows other than that hatred is good. Whatever favors a person's pleasure and desire, because it favors his love, he feels as good - so much so that when he is told it is of hell he can hardly believe it. Even less can he believe it when he is told that such delight and life is converted in the next life into an utterly foul and corpse-like stench. Even less still can he believe that he is becoming a devil and a dreadful replica of hell; for hell consists of nothing else than varieties of hatred and other such forms.

[2] But of this anyone may know who has any power of thought; for if he were to describe hatred, or to represent it, or to portray it if he were able to in any way, he would not do so except by the use of devil-like forms such as these persons steeped in evil also assume after death. And what is extraordinary, such people can still declare that in the next life they will go to heaven, in some cases for merely saying that they have faith - though in fact the only forms occurring in heaven are those of charity, the nature of which may be seen in what has been told from experience in 553. Let those people now consider how these two forms - of hatred and of charity - can be in agreement in the same place.

[3] That 'darkness' means falsity and 'thick darkness' evil becomes clear from the following places in the Word: In Isaiah,

Behold, darkness is covering the earth, and thick darkness the peoples. Isaiah 60:2.

In Joel,

Let all the inhabitants of the earth tremble, for the day of Jehovah is coming, a day of darkness and thick darkness. Joel 2:1-2.

In Zephaniah,

A day of wrath is that day, a day of vastation and desolation, a day of darkness and thick darkness. Zephaniah 1:15.

In Amos,

Is not the day of Jehovah darkness and not light, and thick darkness, and no brightness in it? Amos 5:20.

In these places 'the day of Jehovah' stands for the final period of the Church, which is also the subject here. 'Darkness' stands for falsities, 'thick darkness' for evils; hence both are mentioned. Otherwise there would be a repetition of the same thing, or a pointless excess of words. The term used in the original language however to express thick darkness in this verse embodies both within itself - falsity as well as evil, or gross falsity that produces evil, as well as gross evil that produces falsity.
