1 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Humugis ka ng dalawang tapyas na bato na gaya ng una: at aking isusulat sa mga tapyas ang mga salita na nasa unang mga tapyas, na iyong sinira.

2 At iyong ihanda sa kinaumagahan, at sumampa ka sa kinaumagahan sa bundok ng Sinai at humarap ka roon sa akin sa taluktok ng bundok.

3 At sinomang tao ay huwag sasampang kasama mo, o makikita ang sinomang tao sa buong bundok; kahit ang mga kawan at ang mga bakahan ay huwag manginain sa harap ng bundok na yaon.

4 At siya'y humugis ng dalawang tapyas na bato na gaya ng una; at bumangon si Moises na maaga sa kinaumagahan, at sumampa sa bundok ng Sinai, gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon sa kaniya, at kinuha sa kaniyang kamay ang dalawang tapyas na bato.

5 At ang Panginoon ay bumaba sa ulap, at tumayong kasama niya roon at itinanyag ang pangalan ng Panginoon.

6 At ang Panginoo'y nagdaan sa harap niya, na itinanyag, Ang Panginoon, ang Panginoong Dios na puspos ng kahabagan at mapagkaloob, banayad sa pagkagalit, at sagana sa kaawaan at katotohanan;

7 Na gumagamit ng kaawaan sa libolibo, na nagpapatawad ng kasamaan, at ng pagsalangsang, at ng kasalanan: at sa anomang paraan ay hindi aariing walang sala ang salarin; na dinadalaw ang kasamaan ng mga ama sa mga anak, at sa mga anak ng mga anak, hanggang sa ikatlo at ika apat na salin.

8 At nagmadali si Moises, at itinungo ang kaniyang ulo sa lupa, at sumamba.

9 At kaniyang sinabi, Kung ngayo'y nakasumpong ako ng biyaya sa iyong paningin, Oh Panginoon, ay ipahintulot nawa ng Panginoon, isinasamo ko sa iyo, na pasa gitna namin; sapagka't isang bayang may matigas na ulo; at ipatawad mo ang aming kasamaan, at ang aming kasalanan, at ariin mo kaming iyong mana.

10 At kaniyang sinabi, Narito, ako'y nakikipagtipan sa harap ng iyong buong bayan at gagawa ako ng mga kababalaghan, na kailan ma'y hindi ginawa sa buong lupa, o sa alin mang bansa: at ang buong bayan sa gitna ng iyong kinaroroonan ay makakakita ng gawa ng Panginoon, sapagka't kakilakilabot na bagay ang aking gagawin sa pamamagitan mo.

11 Tuparin mo ang mga iniutos ko sa iyo sa araw na ito: narito, aking pinalalayas sa harap mo ang Amorrheo, at ang Cananeo, at ang Hetheo, at ang Pherezeo, at ang Jebuseo.

12 Magingat ka, na huwag kang makipagtipan sa mga tumatahan sa lupain na iyong pinaroroonan, baka maging isang silo sa gitna mo:

13 Kundi inyong iwawasak ang kanilang mga dambana, at inyong pagpuputolputulin ang kanilang mga haligi at inyong ibubuwal ang kanilang mga Asera.

14 Sapagka't hindi ka sasamba sa ibang dios: sapagka't ang Panginoon na ang pangalan ay Mapanibughuin; ay mapanibughuin ngang Dios:

15 Magingat ka; baka ikaw ay makipagtipan sa mga tumatahan sa lupain, at sila'y sumunod sa kanilang mga dios, at magsipaghain sa kanilang mga dios, at ikaw ay alukin ng isa at kumain ka ng kanilang hain;

16 At iyong papag-asawahin ang iyong mga anak na lalake at kanilang mga anak na babae, at ang kanilang mga anak na babae ay sumunod sa kanilang mga dios at pasunurin ang inyong mga anak na sumunod sa kanilang mga dios.

17 Huwag kang gagawa para sa iyo ng mga dios na binubo.

18 Ang kapistahan ng tinapay na walang lebadura ay iyong ipangingilin. Pitong araw na kakain ka ng tinapay na walang lebadura na gaya ng iniutos ko sa iyo, sa takdang panahon sa buwan ng Abib: sapagka't sa buwan ng Abib, ay umalis ka sa Egipto.

19 Yaong lahat na nagbubukas ng bahay-bata ay akin; at gayon din ang lahat ng hayop na lalake, ang panganay ng baka at ng tupa,

20 At ang panganay ng isang asno ay iyong tutubusin ng isang kordero: at kung hindi mo tutubusin ay iyo ngang babaliin ang kaniyang leeg. Lahat ng panganay sa iyong mga anak ay iyong tutubusin. At walang lalapit sa harapan ko na walang dala.

21 Anim na araw na gagawa ka, nguni't sa ikapitong araw ay magpapahinga ka: sa panahon ng pagbubukid at sa pagaani ay magpapahinga ka.

22 At iyong ipangingilin ang kapistahan ng mga sanglinggo, ang sa mga unang bunga ng pagaani ng trigo, at ang kapistahan ng pagaani sa katapusan ng taon.

23 Makaitlo nga sa isang taon na haharap ang lahat ng iyong mga lalake sa Panginoong Dios, na Dios ng Israel.

24 Sapagka't aking palalayasin ang mga bansa sa harap mo, at aking palalaparin ang iyong mga hangganan: at hindi pagnanasaan ng sinoman ang iyong lupain, pagka ikaw ay pumapanhik na humarap sa Panginoong iyong Dios, na makaitlo sa isang taon.

25 Huwag kang maghahandog ng dugo ng hain sa akin, na kasabay ng tinapay na may lebadura; o magtitira man ng hain sa kapistahan ng paskua hanggang sa kinaumagahan.

26 Ang pinakaunang bunga ng iyong lupa ay iyong dadalhin sa bahay ng Panginoon mong Dios. Huwag mong lulutuin ang batang kambing sa gatas ng kaniyang ina.

27 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Isulat mo ang mga salitang ito: sapagka't ayon sa tunog ng mga salitang ito, ay nakipagtipan ako sa iyo at sa Israel.

28 At siya'y natira doong kasama ng Panginoon, na apat na pung araw at apat na pung gabi; hindi man lamang siya kumain ng tinapay, o uminom man ng tubig. At isinulat ng Panginoon sa mga tapyas ang mga salita ng tipan, ang sangpung utos.

29 At nangyari, nang bumaba si Moises sa bundok ng Sinai, na dala ang tapyas na bato ng patotoo sa kamay niya, noong bumaba sa bundok ay hindi nalalaman ni Moises na ang balat ng kaniyang mukha ay nagliliwanag dahil sa pakikipagusap niya sa Dios.

30 At nang makita ni Aaron at ng lahat ng mga anak ni Israel si Moises, narito, ang balat ng kaniyang mukha ay nagliliwanag; at sila'y natakot na lumapit sa kaniya.

31 At tinawag sila ni Moises; at si Aaron at ang lahat ng puno sa Israel ay nagbalik sa kaniya: at si Moises ay nagsalita sa kanila.

32 At pagkatapos, ang lahat ng mga anak ni Israel ay lumapit; at kaniyang ibinigay sa kanila sa pamamagitan ng utos ang lahat ng salita ng Panginoon na sinalita sa kaniya sa bundok ng Sinai.

33 At pagkapagsalita sa kanila ni Moises ay naglagay siya ng isang lambong sa kaniyang mukha.

34 Datapuwa't pagka si Moises ay pumapasok sa harap ng Panginoon upang makipagsalitaan sa kaniya, ay nagaalis siya ng lambong hanggang siya'y makalabas; at siya'y lumabas at kaniyang sinalita sa mga anak ni Israel ang iniutos sa kaniya;

35 At nakita ng mga anak ni Israel ang mukha ni Moises, na ang balat ng mukha ni Moises ay nagliliwanag: at inilagay uli ni Moises ang lambong sa ibabaw ng kaniyang mukha, hanggang sa siya'y makapasok na nakipagsalitaan sa Dios.

725. The reason why a male child signifies the doctrine of truth for the church which is called the New Jerusalem, is, that son signifies truth as we have just shown above, and a male child truth of doctrine from the Word, consequently the doctrine of genuine truth which is for the church. It means doctrine for the church which is called the New Jerusalem, because the woman who brought forth the male child, means that church, as also shown above. The doctrine of truth which is for the church, is also signified by male in the following passages.

In Moses:

"God created man into his image; into the image of God created he him, male and female created he them" (Genesis 1:27):

"Male and female created he them, and blessed them, and called their name man (homo), in the day in which they were created" (Genesis 5:2).

What is involved in the things that are related in the first chapter of Genesis concerning the creation of heaven and earth, paradise, and the eating of the tree of knowledge (scientia), no one can know except from the spiritual sense, for these particulars are in the form of history; still they are holy, because all the particulars contained in them are interiorly, and in their bosom, spiritual.

[2] The subject there described is the establishment of the Most Ancient Church, which was the most excellent of all the churches on this earth; its establishment is meant by the creation of heaven and earth, its intelligence and wisdom are meant by the garden of Eden, and its decline and fall by eating of the tree of knowledge. It is therefore evident that man, who is called Adam and Eve, means that church, for it is said, Male and female created He them, and called their name Man; and as that church is meant by both, it follows that male means its truth, and female its good. So also male means doctrine, and female life, since the doctrine of truth is also the doctrine of love and of charity, thus the doctrine of life; and the life of good is also the life of love and of charity, thus a life of doctrine, that is, a life according to doctrine. These two are meant by male [and female], and, taken together and conjoined in marriage, they are called Man, and they also make the church, which, as said above, is meant by man. Again, Adam was so called from a word that means ground, and ground, from its reception of seeds, signifies the church as to truths of doctrine, for in the Word seeds signify truths; while Eve is from a word that means life, "Because she was to be the mother of all living" (Genesis 3:20). These two, doctrine and life, taken together and conjoined as it were in marriage, are called Man (homo), and also make the church, because man is man from the understanding of truth and from the will of good, consequently from the doctrine of life, since this is of the understanding and from the life of doctrine, because this is of the will. The case is similar with the church, for the church is in man, and is the man himself.

[3] That these two, which are signified by male and female, are not to be two but one, the Lord teaches in the Evangelists;

"Jesus said, Have ye not read, that He who made them from the beginning of creation made them male and female, and they two shall be one flesh? Therefore, they are no more two but one flesh" (Matthew 19:4-6; Mark 10:6-8).

This also, as is the case with every part of the Word, is to be understood not only naturally, but also spiritually; and unless it is understood spiritually no one can know what is signified by male and female, or husband and wife, being no more two but one flesh, as is also said in Genesis 2:24. Here, as above, male and female signify, in the spiritual sense, truth and good, consequently also the doctrine of truth, which is the doctrine of life, and the life of truth, which is the life of doctrine. These must not be two but one, since truth does not become truth in man without the good of life, nor does good become good with any one without the truth of doctrine; for good becomes spiritual good only by means of truths, and spiritual good is good, but not natural good, without it. When these are one, then truth is of good and good is of truth, and this oneness is meant by one flesh. The case is similar with doctrine and life; these also make a man of the church one, when the doctrine of life and the life of doctrine are conjoined in him, for doctrine teaches how he must live and act, and the life lives it and does it. From these things also it is evident, that a male child signifies the doctrine of love and of charity, consequently, the doctrine of life.

[4] Since the truth of doctrine, or the doctrine of truth, is signified by a male, therefore a law was made that every male opening the womb should be holy to Jehovah (Exodus 13:12, 15; Deuteronomy 15:19; Luke 2:23). For from the marriage of truth and good, meant in the spiritual sense by the marriage of man and woman, as said above, truths and goods are born, and these are consequently signified in that sense by sons and daughters, truths by sons, and goods by daughters. And as every man is reformed and regenerated by means of truths - for without truths man does not know what good is, and what its nature is, nor, consequently, the way to heaven - this is the reason why the truth which is born first from the marriage of truth and good was sanctified to Jehovah. This truth which is first born is also the doctrine of truth, for that which is first is the all in what follows, thus it is all truth, and all truth is doctrine. But it must be carefully observed that the first-born signifies truth that belongs to the good of charity, it therefore signifies the good of charity in its own form and in its own quality, therefore truth; for the form of good and the quality of good are truth. The reason why this is signified by the first-born, is, that from the good of love, which is signified by the womb and the child therein, nothing else can be born but the good of charity; and this good does not become good until it is formed and qualified, that is until it is in the form in which its quality resides, and its form is called truth, but still is good in form.

[5] From what has been said above, it is evident why it was that every male should appear three times in the year before the face of the Lord Jehovah (Exodus 23:17; 34:23; Deuteronomy 16:16), namely, at the three feasts, which signified everything of regeneration from first to last. And as everything of regeneration is effected by means of truths of doctrine that become those of life from the Lord, therefore all the males, by whom truths were signified, had to present themselves before the Lord, that they might be cleansed by Him and afterwards led by Him. By three times in the year, is also signified continually, and by the face of Jehovah, the Divine Love by which man is led. And this was done because Jerusalem signified the church as to doctrine, and thus also the doctrine of the church.

[6] Since burnt-offerings and sacrifices signified celestial and spiritual things, burnt-offerings celestial things, and sacrifices spiritual things; therefore the law was given, that burnt-offerings should be of males that were without blemish, either from the flock or from the herd; but sacrifices might be either of males or females (Leviticus 1:2, 3; 3:1, 6). The reasons were, that celestial things are those that pertain to love to the Lord, thus to the marriage of good and truth, but spiritual things are those that pertain to charity towards the neighbour, thus not to the marriage but to the consanguinity of truth with good; and truths and goods in consanguinity are like sisters and brothers, but in marriage truths and goods are like husband and wife. This is why burnt-offerings were of males that were without blemish, which signify genuine truths from the Word, or from doctrine from the Word, which have been conjoined to the good of love to the Lord, this good being signified by the altar and its fire. The sacrifices were either of males or females, because males signify truths, and females goods, not conjoined by marriage but by consanguinity; and as both of these, like brothers and sisters, are from one parent, worship from truths was accepted equally as from goods, that is, from males equally as from females.

[7] Since all spiritual nourishment is from truths that are from good, therefore there was a law that a male among the priests should eat the holy things (Leviticus 6:18, 29; 7:6). The reason of this statute was, that males signify truths of doctrine, which are doctrinals (as above) and priests the goods of love, which are goods of the life; and their eating of the holy things that belonged to Aaron and his sons, signified spiritual nourishment.

[8] In Moses:

When they draw near "unto a city to fight against it, thou shalt invite it to peace"; if it accept not, "thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword, but the women, the little ones, the beasts, and the booty, thou shalt take" (Deuteronomy 20:10-14).

Every male in a city that did not accept peace was to be smitten with the edge of the sword, but not the women, the little ones, and beasts, because a city signifies doctrine, and a city of the Gentiles in the land of Canaan, doctrine of falsity, similarly the males of that city; and not to accept peace signifies not to agree with the truths and goods of the church, which were signified by the sons of Israel. The edge of the sword, with which the males were to be smitten, signifies truth destroying falsity. And because falsities alone fight against truths and goods, and destroy them, but not evils without falsities; therefore the women, the little ones, and the beasts, which as belonging to the Gentiles signified evils, were not smitten, since evils can be subdued, amended, and reformed by means of truths.

[9] In Jeremiah:

"Cursed be the man who brought glad tidings to his father, saying, A male child is born to thee, in gladdening he hath made him glad; let that man be as the cities that Jehovah overthrew" (20:15, 16).

This is said of those who are in a devastated church, in which nothing but falsities are accepted and rule; therefore Cursed be the man who brought glad tidings to his father, saying, A male child is born to thee, signifies he who acknowledges falsity and proclaims it as truth, thus the doctrine of falsity in place of the doctrine of truth; in gladdening he made him glad, signifies acceptance from affection for falsity. Let that man be as the cities that Jehovah overthrew, signifies that it shall be with the doctrines that are from mere falsities, which the Lord exterminated from the church, and destroyed as it was with the cities of the Canaanitish race which He destroyed; comparison is made with cities, because cities also signify doctrines.

[10] In Ezekiel:

"Thou didst take the vessels of thine adorning, of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest thee images of a male with which thou hast committed whoredom" (16:17).

This treats of the abominations of Jerusalem, which signify falsifications and adulterations of the Word, resulting from the application of it to the desires of corporeal and worldly loves. Vessels of adorning from the gold and silver of the Lord, signify knowledges of good and truth, which are the goods and truths of the sense of the letter of the Word. These are called vessels, because they contain in themselves spiritual truths and goods, and vessels of adorning, because they are the manifestations (apparentiae), and thus the forms of interior things; those things which are of gold signify those that are from good, and those of silver those that are from truth. Thou madest to thee images of a male with which thou hast committed whoredom, signifies falsities appearing as truths of doctrine, which are falsified, images of a male denoting appearances of truth which are nevertheless falsities, and to commit whoredom denoting to falsify.

[11] In Malachi:

"Cursed be the defrauder in whose flock is a male, and he voweth and sacrificeth unto the Lord a blemished thing" (1:14).

A male in the flock signifies genuine truth of doctrine from the Word; a blemished thing signifies what is falsified; and to vow and sacrifice signifies to worship, thus from things falsified when the truth is known; that such a worship, being fraudulent worship, is infernal, is signified by Cursed be the defrauder. From what has been now shown from the Word concerning the signification of a male, and concerning the signification of a son, it is evident that the male child, which the woman encompassed with the sun, and upon whose head was a crown of twelve stars, brought forth, signifies the doctrine of truth, thus the doctrine of love and charity for the church which is called the New Jerusalem, and which is treated of in the twenty-first chapter of this book.
