하나님의 계명을 다시 지켜라

1. And Moses summoned all Israel and said to them, "Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the rules that I speak in your hearing today, and you shall learn them and be careful to do them. 2. The Lord pur God made a covenant with us in Horeb. 3. Not with our fathers did the Lord make this covenant, but with us, who are all of us here alive today. 4. The Lord spoke with you face to face at the mountain, out of the midst of the fire, 5. while I stood between the Lord and you at that time, to declare to you the word of the Lord. For you were afraid because of the fire, and you did not go up into the mountain. He said:

  6."I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 7."You shall have no other gods before me. 8." You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or and likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 9. You shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 10. but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. 11. "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.

 

 

신명기는 모세의 입으로 과거에 있던 내용을 상기시키는 내용입니다. 그중에서 순종과 율법을 강조하시죠. 그에 대한 확실한 명분도 강조하였고요. 신명기 5장 1절부터 11절도 그런 내용인 듯합니다. 불 속에서 하나님이 임재하여 선포했던 계명, 출애굽기 3장에도 등장했던 불에 탄 떨기나무 같은 사건 등, 여하튼, 하나님은 불의 모습으로 자주 나타나는 것 같습니다. 성경에서 불은 심판을 의미한다고 하던데요.

십계명

 

12. "Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you. 13. For six days you shall labour and do all your work, 14. but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter or your male servant or your female servant, or your ox or your donkey or any of your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates, that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you. 15. You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out from there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the Lord your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.

 16."Honour your father and your mother, as the Lord your God commanded you, that your days may be long, and that it may go well with you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

22. "These words the Lord spoke to all your assembly at the mountain out of the midst of the fire, the cloud, and the thick darkness, with a loud voice, and he added no more. And he wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me. 23. And as soon as you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, you came near to me, all the heads of your tribes, and your elders. 24. And you said, 'Behold, the Lord our God has shown us his glory and greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire.This day we have seen God speak with man, and man still live. 25. Now therefore why should we die? For this great fire will consume us. If we hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, we shall die. 26. For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of fire as we have, and has still lived? 27. Go near and hear all that the Lord our God will speak to you, and we will hear and do it.'

 

출애굽기에서 하나님이 돌판에 직접 써서 적어주신 십계명에 관한 내용입니다. 그 중 하나는 모세가 깨부순 사건이 있었죠. 그런데 성경에는 돌판으로 기록하고 있지만 지금 생각하면 일종의 태블릿 같은 것을 준 것이 아닌가 합니다.

 

 

챗지피티로 구현한 이미지입니다. 뭐, 실제로 이런 전자기기에 작성해서 모세에게 전달한 것은 아닌가 싶어서요. 또한, 고대 사람들이 불의 모습으로 임재한 하나님은 일종의 전자기기 같은 게 아니었나 싶습니다. 소설 삼체에서처럼 일종의 라디오 같은 기기였을 수도 있고요.

좌로나 우로 치우치지 말고

 

28. "And the Lord heard your words, when you spoke to me. And the Lord said to me, 'I have heard the words of this people, which they have heard the words of this people, which they have spoken to you. They are right in all that they have spoken. 29. Oh that they had such a mind as this always, to fear me and to keep all my commandments, that it might go well with them and with their descendants for ever! 30. Go and say to them, "Return to your tents." 31. But you, stand here by me, and I will tell you the whole commandment and the statutes and the rules that you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land that I am giving them to possess.' 32. You shall be careful therefore to do as the Lord your God has commanded you. You shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. 33. You shall walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land that you shall possess.

 

그리고 좌나 우로 치우치지 말고 바른 길로 옳은 길로만 가라고 합니다. 사람이 스스로 판단하여 길을 바꾸거나 임의로 방향을 정하지 말라는 의미라고 합니다. 그저 올바른 신앙 생활만 유지하면 인생이 복 될 거라고 합니다.
