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.

9416. 'And I will give you tablets of stone' means the book of the law, or the Word in its entirety. This is clear from the meaning of 'tablets' as objects on which matters of doctrine and life have been inscribed, in this instance matters of heavenly doctrine and of life in keeping with it. The reason why those tablets mean the book of the law or the Word in its entirety is that the things which had been inscribed on them contained in a general way all matters of life and of that heavenly doctrine. This also explains why the things inscribed on them are called the ten words, Exodus 34:28; Deuteronomy 10:4. For 'ten' in the internal sense means all, and 'words' means truths that are matters of doctrine and forms of good that are matters of life. For the meaning of 'ten' as all, see 3107, 4638, 8468, 8540, and for that of 'words' as truths and forms of good that are matters of life and doctrine, 1288, 4692, 5272. This is why those tablets mean the Word in its entirety, just as the Law does, which in a restricted sense means the things which had been inscribed on those tablets, in a less restricted sense the Word that was written through Moses, in a broad sense the historical section of the Word, and in the broadest sense the Word in its entirety, see what has been shown in 6752. Furthermore the things which had been inscribed on those tablets belonged to the first stage in the revelation of Divine Truth; they were also declared in actual words uttered by the Lord before all the Israelite people. What belongs to the first stage means all the rest in their proper order; and the fact that those things were declared in actual words uttered by the Lord means direct Divine inspiration in all other stages of revelation as well. The reason why those tablets were made of stone was that 'stone' means truth, 643, 1298, 3720, 6426, the lowest levels of truth, to be exact, 8609. The lowest levels of God's truth constitute the letter of the Word as it exists on this planet, 9360.

[2] There was not one tablet but two, to represent the joining of the Lord to the Church through the Word, and through the Church to the human race. This also is why they are called the tablets of the covenant, Deuteronomy 9:9, 11, 15, and why the words inscribed on them are called the words of the covenant, Exodus 34:27-28, also the covenant, Deuteronomy 4:13, 23. And the ark itself in which the tablets had been deposited was called the ark of the covenant, Numbers 10:33; 14:44; Deuteronomy 10:8; 31:9, 25-26; Joshua 3:3, 6, 8, 11, 14, 17; 4:7, 9, 18; 6:6, 8; 8:33; Judges 20:27; 1 Samuel 4:3-5; 2 Samuel 15:24; 1 Kings 3:15; 6:19; 8:1, 6; Jeremiah 3:16. For a covenant is a joining together, 665, 666, 1023, 1038, 1864, 1996, 2003, 2021, 6804, 8767, 8778, 9396. This explains why those tablets were divided from each other yet were joined together by being laid alongside each other. The writing on them ran across continuously from one tablet onto the other, like the writing on a single tablet. It was not, as people ordinarily think, that some commandments were written on one tablet and some on the other. For a single object divided in two, and the two parts then brought together or given each to the other, means the Lord and man joined together. The establishment of covenants was therefore accomplished in similar ways, that with Abraham for example by parting down the middle a heifer, she-goat, and ram, and laying each part opposite the other, Genesis 15:9-12; in verses 6 and 8 of the present chapter by putting blood in bowls and then sprinkling it half over the altar and half over the people; and generally in all sacrifices by burning one part on the altar and giving the other part to the people to eat. The like was also represented by the Lord when He broke bread, Matthew 14:19; 15:36; 26:26; Mark 6:41; 8:6; 14:22; Luke 9:16; 22:19; 24:30-31, 35. Here also is the reason why 'two' in the Word means things joined together, 5194, 8423, here the Lord and heaven, or the Lord and the Church, joined together, thus also goodness and truth joined together, which is called the heavenly marriage. From all this it becomes clear why it is that there were two tablets and that both sides of them were written on, from edge to edge, Exodus 32:15-16.

[3] Furthermore when the writing and engraving on tablets is mentioned in the Word it means those things that must be imprinted in people's memory and on their life, and so remain there, as in Isaiah,

Write it on a tablet among them, and express it in a book, 1 so that it may be for time to come forever, even to eternity. Isaiah 30:8.

In Jeremiah,

The sin of Judah has been written with a pen of iron; with a point of diamond it has been engraved on the tablet of their heart, and at the horns of your altars. Jeremiah 17:1.

In Habakkuk,

Jehovah said, Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that one running by may read it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; if it tarries, wait for it, because it will surely come. Habakkuk 2:2-3.

4692. 'And they hated him all the more for his dreams and for his words' means still greater contempt and aversion on account of that declaration of truth, namely concerning the Lord's Divine Human. This is clear from the meaning of 'adding' as making still greater; from the meaning of 'hating' as holding in contempt and turning away in aversion, dealt with above in 4681; from the meaning of 'a dream' as a declaration, also dealt with above, in 4682, 4685; and from the meaning of 'words' as truths. The reason 'words' means truths is that every word in heaven is received from the Lord, and therefore 'words' in the internal sense means truths, while 'the Word' in general means all Divine Truth.

[2] The subject in particular is that the Church which has separated faith from charity holds in utter contempt and turns away in utter aversion from the highest truth of all - the truth that the Lord's Human is Divine. All who belonged to the Ancient Church and did not separate charity from faith believed that the God of the whole world was a Divine Man, and that He was the Divine Being (Esse), which also was why they called Him Jehovah. They knew of Him as such from the most ancient people, and also because He had appeared to many of their brethren as Man. They also knew that all the ritual and external practices of their Church represented Him. But those who adhered to faith separated from charity were unable to share that belief of those who did not separate faith from charity because they could not grasp how the Human could ever be Divine, or that Divine love could make it such. For anything they did not grasp with some idea acquired through their bodily senses they considered to be worthless. This is what faith separated from charity is like; for with those people the internal degree of perception is closed because nothing intermediate exists to enable one to flow into the other.

[3] The Jewish Church which came next did in fact believe that Jehovah was Man as well as God, because He had appeared to Moses and the Prophets as a human being, on account of which they called every angel who appeared Jehovah. Yet their idea of Him was no different from ideas the gentiles had of their gods, though they preferred Jehovah God because He could work miracles, 4299. They were unaware of the fact that this Jehovah was the Lord in the Word, 2921, 3035, and that His Divine Human was represented in all their religious observances. They had no other idea of the Messiah or Christ than one who would be a very great prophet, greater than Moses, and a very great king, greater than David, who would lead them into the land of Canaan to the accompaniment of amazing miracles. Of His heavenly kingdom they did not wish to hear anything at all, for the reason that they grasped none but worldly ideas since they were people separated from charity.

[4] The Christian Church, it is true, does in its religious services adore the Lord's Human as one that is Divine. It does so in particular in the Holy Supper, because He has said that the bread there is His body, and the wine His blood. But they do not in their doctrine make His Human Divine, for they make a distinction between His Divine nature and His human nature. Also, they make this distinction because the Church has turned aside from charity to faith, and at length to faith separated from charity. And failing to acknowledge that the Lord's Human is Divine, many go wrong and in their heart deny Him, 4689. Yet the truth of the matter is that the Lord's Divine Human is the Divine Manifestation of the Divine Being, dealt with above in 4687, and that He Himself is the Divine Being; for Divine Being and Divine Manifestation make one, as the Lord also plainly teaches in John,

Jesus said to Philip, Have I been so long a time with you and you do not know Me? He who has seen Me has seen the Father. Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me. John 14:9-11.

The same teaching occurs elsewhere. The Divine Manifestation is the Divine itself proceeding from the Divine Being and in image is Man, since heaven, of which He is its all, represents the Grand Man, as stated above in 4687 and shown at the ends of chapters where the correspondence with heaven of everything in the human being is dealt with. The Lord, it is true, was born as any human being is born, and received an infirm human from His mother; but the Lord cast out this human completely, to the point of His being no longer Mary's son, and made the Human within Himself Divine, which is what is meant by His being glorified. He also showed Peter, James, and John that He was a Divine Man, when He was transfigured.
