Exodo第32章

学习

   

1 At nang makita ng bayan na nagluluwat si Moises ng pagpanaog sa bundok, ay nagpipisan ang bayan kay Aaron, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Tumindig ka at igawa mo kami ng mga dios na mangunguna sa amin; sapagka't tungkol sa Moises na ito, na lalaking nagsampa sa amin mula sa lupain ng Egipto, ay hindi namin maalaman kung anong nangyari sa kaniya.

2 At sinabi ni Aaron sa kanila, Alisin ninyo ang mga hikaw na ginto, na nasa tainga ng inyo-inyong asawa, ng inyong mga anak na lalake, at babae, at dalhin ninyo sa akin.

3 At inalis ng buong bayan ang mga hikaw na ginto na nangasa kanilang mga tainga, at dinala kay Aaron.

4 At kaniyang tinanggap sa kanilang kamay, at niyari sa pamamagitan ng isang buril, at ginawang isang guyang binubo, at kanilang sinabi, Ang mga ito ang maging iyong mga dios, Oh Israel, na nagsampa sa iyo mula sa lupain ng Egipto.

5 At nang makita ito ni Aaron, ay nagtayo siya ng isang dambana sa harapan niyaon: at itinanyag ni Aaron at sinabi, Bukas ay pista sa Panginoon.

6 At sila'y bumangong maaga nang kinabukasan, at naghandog ng mga handog na susunugin, at nagdala ng mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan; at ang bayan ay umupong kumain at uminom, at tumindig upang magkatuwa.

7 At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, Yumaon ka, bumaba ka, sapagka't ang iyong bayan, na iyong isinampa mula sa lupain ng Egipto ay nangagsisama:

8 Sila'y humiwalay na madali sa daan na aking iniutos sa kanila: sila'y gumawa ng isang guyang binubo, at kanilang sinamba, at kanilang hinainan, at kanilang sinabi, Ang mga ito'y iyong maging mga dios, Oh Israel, na nagsampa sa iyo mula sa lupain ng Egipto.

9 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Aking nakita ang bayang ito, at, narito, isang bayang may matigas na ulo;

10 Ngayo'y bayaan mo nga ako upang ang aking pagiinit ay magalab laban sa kanila, at upang aking lipulin sila: at ikaw ay aking gagawing dakilang bansa.

11 At dumalangin si Moises sa Panginoon niyang Dios, at sinabi, Panginoon, bakit ang iyong pagiinit ay pinapagaalab mo laban sa iyong bayan, na iyong inilabas sa lupain ng Egipto sa pamamagitan ng dakilang kapangyarihan at ng makapangyarihang kamay?

12 Bakit sasalitain ng mga Egipcio, na sasabihin, Dahil sa kasamaan, inilabas sila upang patayin sila sa mga bundok, at upang lipulin sila sa balat ng lupa? Iurong mo ang iyong mabangis na pagiinit, at pagsisihan mo ang kasamaang ito laban sa iyong bayan.

13 Alalahanin mo si Abraham, si Isaac, at si Israel na iyong mga lingkod, na silang iyong mga sinumpaan sa iyong sarili, at mga pinagsabihan, Aking pararamihin ang inyong binhi na gaya ng mga bituin sa langit, at lahat ng lupaing ito na aking sinalita ay aking ibibigay sa inyong binhi, at kanilang mamanahin magpakailan man.

14 At pinagsisihan ng Panginoon ang kasamaan na kaniyang sinabing kaniyang gagawin sa kaniyang bayan.

15 At si Moises ay pumihit, at bumaba sa bundok, na dala ang dalawang tapyas ng patotoo sa kaniyang kamay; mga tapyas na may sulat sa dalawang mukha niyaon; sa isang mukha at sa kabilang mukha ay may sulat.

16 At ang mga tapyas ay gawa ng Dios, at ang sulat ay sulat ng Dios, na nakaukit sa mga tapyas.

17 At ng marinig ni Josue ang ingay ng bayan na humihiyaw, ay sinabi kay Moises, May ingay ng pagbabaka sa kampamento.

18 At kaniyang sinabi, Hindi ingay ng pagtatagumpay, o ingay man ng pagkatalo, kundi ingay ng mga umaawit ang aking naririnig.

19 At nangyari paglapit niya sa kampamento, na kaniyang nakita ang guya at ang sayawan; at ang galit ni Moises ay naginit at kaniyang inihagis ang mga tapyas na nasa kaniyang mga kamay at nangasira sa paanan ng bundok.

20 At kaniyang kinuha ang guya na kanilang ginawa, at sinunog ng apoy, at giniling hanggang sa naging alabok, at isinaboy sa ibabaw ng tubig, at ipinainom sa mga anak ni Israel.

21 At sinabi ni Moises kay Aaron, Anong ginawa ng bayang ito sa iyo, na dinalhan mo sila ng isang malaking sala?

22 At sinabi ni Aaron, Huwag maginit ang galit ng aking panginoon: iyong kilala ang bayan, na sila'y mahilig sa kasamaan.

23 Sapagka't kanilang sinabi sa akin, Igawa mo kami ng mga dios na mangunguna sa amin: sapagka't tungkol sa Moises na ito, na lalaking nagsampa sa amin mula sa lupain ng Egipto ay hindi namin maalaman kung anong nangyari sa kaniya.

24 At aking sinabi sa kanila, Sinomang may ginto, ay magalis; na anopa't kanilang ibinigay sa akin: at aking inihagis sa apoy at lumabas ang guyang ito.

25 At nang makita ni Moises na ang bayan ay nakakawala; sapagka't pinabayaan ni Aarong makawala ng maging isang kabiruan sa gitna ng kanilang mga kaaway:

26 Ay tumayo nga si Moises sa pintuang-daan ng kampamento, at nagsabi, Sinomang sa Panginoon ang kiling ay lumapit sa akin. At lahat ng mga anak ni Levi ay nagpipisan sa kaniya.

27 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel: Ipatong ng bawa't lalake ang kaniyang tabak sa kaniyang hita, at yumaon kayong paroo't parito sa mga pintuang-daan, sa buong kampamento, at patayin ng bawa't lalake ang kaniyang kapatid na lalake, at ng bawa't lalake ang kaniyang kasama, at ng bawa't lalake ang kaniyang kapuwa.

28 At ginawa ng mga anak ni Levi ang ayon sa salita ni Moises: at nabuwal sa bayan ng araw na yaon, ang may tatlong libong katao.

29 At sinabi ni Moises, Italaga ninyo ang inyong sarili ngayon sa Panginoon, oo, bawa't lalake laban sa kaniyang anak na lalake, at laban sa kaniyang kapatid na lalake, upang kaniyang ipagkaloob sa inyo ang pagpapala sa araw na ito.

30 At nangyari ng kinabukasan, na sinabi ni Moises sa bayan, Kayo'y nagkasala ng malaking kasalanan: at ngayo'y sasampahin ko ang Panginoon; marahil ay aking matutubos ang inyong kasalanan.

31 At bumalik si Moises sa Panginoon, at nagsabi, Oh, ang bayang ito'y nagkasala ng malaking kasalanan, at gumawa sila ng mga dios na ginto.

32 Gayon ma'y ngayon, kung iyong ipatatawad ang kanilang kasalanan; at kung hindi, ay alisin mo ako, isinasamo ko sa iyo, sa iyong aklat na sinulat mo.

33 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Ang magkasala laban sa akin ay siya kong aalisin sa aking aklat.

34 At ngayo'y yumaon ka, iyong patnubayan ang bayan sa dakong aking sinalita sa iyo: narito, ang aking anghel ay magpapauna sa iyo: gayon ma'y sa araw na aking dalawin sila ay aking dadalawin ang kanilang kasalanang ipinagkasala nila.

35 At sinaktan nga ng Panginoon ang bayan, sapagka't kanilang ginawa ang guya na ginawa ni Aaron.

10570. 'And I and Your people will be made more distinguished than all the people who are on the face of the ground' means the consequent pre-eminence over all throughout the whole world where the Church exists. This is clear from the meaning of 'being made more distinguished than all the people who are on the face of the ground' as pre-eminence over all throughout the whole world. The reason why where the Church exists is also meant is that 'the ground' means the Church, which is dealt with below.

[2] It was this end in view - that they should be made more distinguished than all throughout the whole world - that caused the Israelite nation to worship Jehovah and enabled them to be outwardly holy. This is clear from what has been shown previously regarding that nation. The fact that such people are able to be outwardly holy and to seem to others to be worshippers of God is clear from the idolaters spoken of in the historical narratives of the Word, who were able in like manner to do the outward things. But anyone may see and deduce that those idolaters possessed no inner holiness from the consideration that the Divine Truths which have been revealed in the Word are what make worship internal, when people know them and lead a life in keeping with them. For if a person were able to worship God in a holy way without those Truths there would be no need for any of the Church's teachings, nor for any preaching.

[3] Since that nation was such that their end in view - to be pre-eminent over others - enabled them to be outwardly holy, and since among people such as these the things that are representative of celestial and spiritual realities, which the outward things of their worship were, can be conveyed to angels and a link with heaven can thereby be established, that nation was accepted. But anyone who supposes that this made them worshippers of God is very much mistaken; for they were worshippers of self and the world, and idolaters at heart. And because they were such, neither was any revelation given them of the interior things of worship, which have to do with faith in the Lord and love to Him. This is evident from the books in the Old Testament, and also from the fact that they did not acknowledge the Lord when He came into the world, and indeed still do not acknowledge Him; and if presented with teachings about the Lord contained in the prophetical parts, even then they do not accept them. They desire a Messiah who will exalt them above all throughout the whole world, not a Messiah whose kingdom is in heaven and who looks from there to the salvation also of all on earth. From all this it becomes clear what that nation has been like since the earliest ages, and why it is that it says here that by Jehovah's going with them they would be made more distinguished than all the people who are on the face of the ground.

[4] By the words 'on the face of the ground' wherever the Church exists should be understood; for 'the ground' has the same meaning as 'the earth', namely the Church (for the meaning of 'the earth', or 'the land', as the Church, see in the places referred to in 9325). But 'the ground' means the Church for the same reason as 'the field' does, that is, because it receives various kinds of seeds, which then grow into plants and bear fruit, by which the truths and forms of the good of faith and love are meant. For the human being is a recipient of these just as the ground is of seeds. The earth is called a Church however on account of the people inhabiting it, with whom the Church exists. But since the ground implies that which extends spatially just as the earth or the land does, translators use the word 'earth' instead of 'ground'. Here they say 'on the face of the earth' instead of 'on the face of the ground', as they do in other places. And yet in the original language the term that denotes the ground is derived from an entirely different root from the one that the term denoting the earth springs from.

[5] The fact that 'the ground' means the Church, just as 'the earth' or 'the land' does, is clear from various places in the Word, of which let only some be quoted, such as this in Jeremiah,

The nobles sent their inferiors for water, they came to the pits, and they found no water; their vessels returned empty, because the ground was broken up in pieces, no rain had come to be on the land. Jeremiah 14:3-4.

Here 'the ground' means the Church, and so does 'the land', for the subject in the internal sense is the lack of truth and resulting ruination of the Church. 'Water' means truths; 'pits' where those truths, thus religious teachings, are stored; 'vessels' recipients of them; and 'rain' the influx of them from heaven. 'The land' is where the Church is situated, and 'the ground' the actual Church, which is said to be 'broken up in pieces' owing to drought, that is, to the lack of truth from heaven.

[6] In Isaiah,

It will happen at the end of seventy years, that Jehovah will visit Tyre, and she will return to her harlot's reward and commit whoredom with all the kingdoms of the earth on the face of the ground. At length her merchandise and her harlot's reward will be holy to Jehovah. Isaiah 23:17-18.

'Tyre' means the Church in respect of its cognitions or knowledge of truth and good, and so in the abstract sense means those cognitions. These are called 'a harlot's reward' when they are taught for the sake of gain, position, and reputation for knowing them, thus when they are put on sale so to speak, and are not taught for truth's own sake. In the Word this is called harlotry and whoredom. 'Committing whoredom with all the kingdoms of the earth' means doing so with all the truths of the Church; 'on the face of the ground' means wherever the Church is situated. Since cognitions of truth and good continue to be cognitions of truth and good and so continue to be Divine, even when they are used for gain by a person who teaches and puts them up for sale, and they are consequently 'a harlot's reward', it says that 'her merchandise and her harlot's reward will be holy to Jehovah'. Everyone whose thought extends beyond the sense of the letter can see that a harlot's reward should not be understood in these verses, nor whoredom committed with all the kingdoms of the earth, nor that such a thing will be holy to Jehovah.

[7] In David,

You send forth Your spirit, they are created, and You renew the face of the ground. Psalms 104:30.

'Jehovah's spirit' means the Divine Truth emanating from the Lord, 9818; 'being created' means being created anew, that is, being regenerated, 10373; 'renewing the face of the ground' reforming and establishing the Church, 'the face of the ground' meaning wherever anything of the Church can be received. The like is meant in other places where the expression 'the face of the ground' occurs, such as Genesis 7:4; 8:8, 13; Exodus 32:12; Numbers 12:3; Deuteronomy 6:15; 7:6; 1 Samuel 20:15; 2 Samuel 14:7.
