Exodus 32.The Levites rewarded with priesthood after slaying their brethren, the enemies of God - the faithless Jews

[1] And the people seeing that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, gathering together against Aaron, said: Arise, make us gods, that may go before us: for as to this Moses, the man that brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has befallen him. [2] And Aaron said to them: Take the golden earrings from the ears of your wives, and your sons and daughters, and bring them to me. [3] And the people did what he had commanded, bringing the earrings to Aaron. [4] And when he had received them, he fashioned them by founders' work, and made of them a molten calf. And they said: These are thy gods, O Israel, that have brought thee out of the land of Egypt. [5] And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it, and made proclamation by a crier's voice, saying: Tomorrow is the solemnity of the Lord. 

[6] And rising in the morning, they offered holocausts, and peace victims, and the people sat down to eat, and drink, and they rose up to play. [7] And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Go, get thee down: thy people, which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, hath sinned. [8] They have quickly strayed from the way which thou didst shew them: and they have made to themselves a molten calf, and have adored it, and sacrificing victims to it, have said: These are thy gods, O Israel, that have brought thee out of the land of Egypt. [9] And again the Lord said to Moses: See that this people is stiffnecked: [10] Let me alone, that my wrath may be kindled against them, and that I may destroy them, and I will make of thee a great nation. 

[11] But Moses besought the Lord his God, saying: Why, O Lord, is thy indignation kindled against thy people, whom thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, with great power, and with a mighty hand? [12] Let not the Egyptians say, I beseech thee: He craftily brought them out, that he might kill them in the mountains, and destroy them from the earth: let thy anger cease, and be appeased upon the wickedness of thy people. [13] Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou sworest by thy own self, saying: I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven: and this whole land that I have spoken of, I will give to your seed, and you shall possess it for ever. [14] And the Lord was appeased from doing the evil which he had spoken against his people. [15] And Moses returned from the mount, carrying the two tables of the testimony in his hand, written on both sides, 

[16] And made by the work of God: the writing also of God was graven in the tables. [17] And Josue hearing the noise of the people shouting, said to Moses: The noise of battle is heard in the camp. [18] But he answered: It is not the cry of men encouraging to fight, nor the shout of men compelling to flee: but I hear the voice of singers. [19] And when he came nigh to the camp, he saw the calf, and the dances: and being very angry, he threw the tables out of his hand, and broke them at the foot of the mount: [20] And laying hold of the calf which they had made, he burnt it, and beat it to powder, which he strowed into water, and gave thereof to the children of Israel to drink. 

[21] And he said to Aaron: What has this people done to thee, that thou shouldst bring upon them a most heinous sin? [22] And he answered him: Let not my lord be offended: for thou knowest this people, that they are prone to evil. [23] They said to me: Make us gods, that may go before us: for as to this Moses, who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is befallen him. [24] And I said to them: Which of you hath any gold? and they took and brought it to me: and I cast it into the fire, and this calf came out. [25] And when Moses saw that the people were naked, (for Aaron had stripped them by occasion of the shame of the filth, and had set them naked among their enemies,) 

[25] "Naked": Having lost not only their gold, and their honour, but what was worst of all, being stripped also of the grace of God, and having lost him.

[25] "The shame of the filth": That is, of the idol, which they had taken for their god. It is the usual phrase of the scripture to call idols filth and abominations.

[26] Then standing in the gate of the camp, he said: If any man be on the Lord's side let him join with me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him: [27] And he said to them: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Put every man his sword upon his thigh: go, and return from gate to gate through the midst of the camp, and let every man kill his brother, and friend, and neighbour. [28] And the sons of Levi did according to the words of Moses, and there were slain that day about three and twenty thousand men. [29] And Moses said: You have consecrated your hands this day to the Lord, every man in his son and in his brother, that a blessing may be given to you. [30] And when the next day was come, Moses spoke to the people: You have sinned a very great sin: I will go up to the Lord, if by any means I may be able to entreat him for your crime. 

[31] And returning to the Lord, he said: I beseech thee: this people hath sinned a heinous sin, and they have made to themselves gods of gold: either forgive them this trespass, [32] Or if thou do not, strike me out of the book that thou hast written. [33] And the Lord answered him: He that hath sinned against me, him will I strike out of my book: [34] But go thou, and lead this people whither I have told thee: my angel shall go before thee. And I in the day of revenge will visit this sin also of theirs. [35] The Lord therefore struck the people for the guilt on occasion of the calf which Aaron had made.

Ver. 25.  Naked.  Having lost not only their gold, and their honour, but what was worst of all, being stripped also of the grace of God, and having lost him. --- The shame of the filth.  That is, of the idol, which they had taken for their god.  It is the usual phrase of the Scripture to call idols filth, and abominations.  Ch. --- Of the filth, is not in Heb.  But it serves to explain how the Hebrews came to be so unprotected and disconcerted.  See 2 Par. xxviii. 19.

 

Ver. 26.  All the sons; that is, the great majority of them; for some were probably slain, v. 29.

 

Ver. 28.  About, &c.  The Heb. letter c means about, and stands also for twenty.  All the versions, and some copies of the Vulg. retain the first signification; but our edition gives also the second.  Sixtus V. and the Louvain Bible have about 33,000.  H. --- S. Paul (1 Cor. x. 7. 8,) mentions, that three and twenty thousand perished, in punishment of their fornication (with the Moabites), which some explain of the adoration of the calf, and say that Moses only specifies those slain by the Levites; while S. Paul gives the number of all those who perished by the hand of God on this occasion, v. 35.  C. --- S. Cyril, Alex. glap. 2, Sulpit. and many other fathers, agree with the Vulgate.  The fornication with the Moabites, was followed by the death of 24,000.  Num. xxv. 9.  So that S. Paul cannot refer to it, unless he only mention those who perished in one day; and Moses expresses the total amount of the slain during the whole affair.  H.

 

Ver. 29.  To you.  Thus they merited the priesthood, and a blessing; (Deut. xxxiii. 9.  M.) having been the ministers of God's just indignation, without sparing any of the most guilty.  With these they could not be unacquainted.  No external signs on their bodies were requisite to make the delinquents known.  They had appeared to publicly.  H. --- The Levites acted with due authority and order, which their father, Levi, had neglected.  Gen. xxxiv.  W.

Deut 33:9   It is the duty of the priestly tribe to prefer God's honour and service before all considerations of flesh and blood: in such manner as to behave as strangers to their nearest akin, when these would withdraw them from the business of their calling.  Ch. --- The Levites shew no mercy to such of their brethren as had adored the golden calf. 

Jews worshipping Priapus. Numbers 25

 [1] And Israel at that time abode in Settim, and the people committed fornication with the daughters of Moab, [2] Who called them to their sacrifices. And they ate of them, and adored their gods. [3] And Israel was initiated to Beelphegor: upon which the Lord being angry, [4] Said to Moses: Take all the princes of the people, and hang them up on gibbets against the sun: that my fury may be turned away from Israel. [5] And Moses said to the judges of Israel: Let every man kill his neighbours, that have been initiated to Beelphegor. 

Ver. 3.  Initiated to Beelphegor.  That is, they took to the worship of Beelphegor, an obscene idol of the Moabites, and were consecrated as it were to him.  Ch. --- Heb. "Israel was attached, or married to Beelphegor," the sun, Adonis or Osiris, whom the psalmist (cv. 28,) styles, the dead, because the people were accustomed to bewail the death of Adonis every year, with great solemnity.  C. --- S. Jerom supposes this god "of opening, or nakedness," Beelphegor, to be the obscene Priapus.  M. --- The people fell by degrees into the depth of abomination.  They first defiled their bodies with women, then their souls were contaminated by the sacrifices of their idols, till they began really to adore them, and even to consecrate themselves to their service, meaning to ratify their base apostacy from the true God.  H. --- Yet it is probable all those who were cut off by pestilence, were not thus initiated: but only those who were the princes or ringleaders, and who are sentenced to be gibbeted.  Salien. --- The mother of Asa, king of Juda, was not ashamed to preside over the mysteries of this obscene idol, (3 K. xv. 13,) which people worshipped by prostitution.  Villalpand.  S. Jer. in Osee iv. 9.  T.

 

Sanctification

 Per this beautiful hymn:

You have united, O Lord,
your divinity with our humanity
and our humanity with your divinity;
your life with our mortality
and our mortality with your life.
You have assumed what is ours,
and you have given us what is yours,
for the life and salvation of our souls.
To you, O Lord, be glory forever.

– From the Maronite Eucharistic liturgy

This is what is real and worthy of our attention and absorption into our intellects. Jesus established His Church for two reasons

Salvation
Sanctification

not for the laity to participate in synods which is Congregationalism for Catholics

Knuckles Nancy

 The other day during the State of The Union Address to both madhouses of congress POTUS Biden confused the Iranians with the Ukrainians and praised their spirit.

As Biden lamented the danger our soldiers were in waging past wars near highly toxic burn pits,

The San Francisco freak Nancy Pelosi (Speaker of the House) slowed rose to her feet rubbing her knuckles together while a creepy smile spread over her face as her false teeth threatened to migrate from her mouth.

Knuckles Nancy is as demented as Biden and literally not one person (Least of all her) has any idea of why she was acting that way.

During an earlieri portion of Biden's address, The leader of the Senate, Chuck Schumer, was caught on camera with a sad case of premature acclamation (standing before Biden's putative killer line) and had to briefly scootch down to sit before standing with a gigantic goofy smile.

These are our leaders. People voted for them.

As inflation goes up higher than the pitched laughter of Fox TV Star Tucker Carlson (He shrikes in laughter like a junior high school field hockey player who just sneaked in a winning goal thorough the five hole of a butter ball Goalie named Nancy) America turns its lonely eyes to you, Joe DiMaggio.

Poor Chuck Schumer has premature acclamation

Numbers, Exodus 12, Promised Land, Heaven. Just wondering

And the Lord gave favour to the people in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them: and they stripped the Egyptians. [37] And the children of Israel set forward from Ramesse to Socoth, being about six hundred thousand men on foot, beside children.

About 600 Jews were led out of Egypt by God but after this perfidy  detailed in Numbers:13

And there the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: [3] Send men to view the land of Chanaan, which I will give to the children of Israel, one of every tribe, of the rulers. [4] Moses did what the Lord had commanded, sending from the desert of Pharan, principal men, whose names are these: [5] Of the tribe of Ruben, Sammua the son of Zechur. 

[6] Of the tribe of Simeon, Saphat the son of Hurl. [7] Of the tribe of Juda, Caleb the son of Jephone. [8] Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph. [9] Of the tribe of Ephraim, Osee the son of Nun. [10] Of the tribe of Benjamin, Phalti the son of Raphu. 

[11] Of the tribe of Zabulon, Geddiel the son of Sodi. [12] Of the tribe of Joseph, of the sceptre of Manasses, Gaddi the son of Susi. [13] Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli. [14] Of the tribe of Aser, Sthur the son of Michael. [15] Of the tribe of Nephtali, Nahabi the son of Vapsi. 

[16] Of the tribe of Gad, Guel the son of Machi. [17] These are the names of the men, whom Moses sent to view the land: and he called Osee the son of Nun, Josue.  

Numbers 14:

Wherefore the whole multitude crying wept that night. [2] And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying: [3] Would God that we had died in Egypt and would God we may die in this vast wilderness, and that the Lord may not bring us into this land, lest we fall by the sword, and our wives and children be led away captives. Is it not better to return into Egypt? [4] And they said one to another: Let us appoint a captain, and let us return into Egypt. [5] And when Moses and Aaron heard this, they fell down flat upon the ground before the multitude of the children of Israel. 

[6] But Josue the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephone, who themselves also had viewed the land, rent their garments, [7] And said to all the multitude of the children of Israel: The land which we have gone round is very good: [8] If the Lord be favourable, he will bring us into it, and give us a land flowing with milk and honey. [9] Be not rebellious against the Lord: and fear ye not the people of this land, for we are able to eat them up as bread. All aid is gone from them: the Lord is with us, fear ye not. [10]

Your carcasses shall lie in the wilderness. [33] Your children shall wander in the desert forty years, and shall bear your fornication, until the carcasses of their fathers be consumed in the desert, [34] According to the number of the forty days, wherein you viewed the land: year shall be counted for a day. And forty years you shall receive your iniquities, and shall know my revenge: [35]For as I have spoken, so will I do to all this wicked multitude, that hath risen up together against me: in this wilderness shall it faint away and die. 

[33] "Shall bear your fornication": That is, shall bear the punishment of your disloyalty to God, which in the scripture language is here called a fornication, in a spiritual sense.

[36] Therefore all the men, whom Moses had sent to view the land, and who at their return had made the whole multitude to murmur against him, speaking ill of the land that it was naught, [37] Died and were struck in the sight of the Lord. [38] But Josue. the son of Nun. and Caleb the son of Jephone lived, of all them that had gone to view the land

Of the 600, 000 Jews God led out of Egypt only faithful Josue and Caleb entered the Promised Land.

That percentage is astonishingly small. Is one permitted to think that only that small of a percentage of men who have ever lived will be permitted to enter the new Promised Land, Heaven?

Even considering that the number of scouts sent to scope out the promised land - 12 - only two of them were permitted to live and enter the Promised Land.

Is one permitted to think that percentage - two out of twelve, roughly 17% of all men who have ever lived - will be permitted to enter The Promised Land/Heaven?

Us Catholics must go to Confession and Holy Communion frequently and pray for forgiveness daily because God is infinite Mercy and Justice while also being possessed of Sovereign Liberty.

Lord Have Mercy on me a sinner.
