出埃及记 13

Studie

   

1 耶和华晓谕摩西

2 以色列中凡头生的,无论是人是牲畜,都是我的,要分别为归我。

3 摩西对百姓:你们要记念从埃及为奴之家出来的这日,因为耶和华用大能的将你们从这地方领出来。有的饼都不可

4 亚笔间的这日是你们出来的日子。

5 将来耶和华领你进迦南人、赫人、亚摩利人、希未人、耶布斯人之,就是他向你的祖宗起誓应许你那流奶与蜜之,那时你要在这间守这礼。

6 你要无酵日,到第七日要向耶和华守节。

7 日之久,要无酵饼;在你四境之内不可见有的饼,也不可见发酵的物。

8 当那日,你要告诉你的儿子:这是因耶和华在我出埃及的时候为我所行的事。

9 这要在你上作记号,在你额上作纪念,使耶和华的律法常在你中,因为耶和华曾用大能的将你从埃及领出来。

10 所以你每年要按着日期守这例。

11 将来,耶和华照他向你和你祖宗所起的誓将你领进迦南人之,把这你,

12 那时你要将一切头生的,并牲畜中头生的,归给耶和华;公的都要属耶和华

13 凡头生的,你要用羊羔代赎;若不代赎,就要打折他的颈项。凡你儿子中头生的都要赎出来。

14 日後,你的儿子问你:这是甚麽意思?你就耶和华用大能的我们埃及为奴之家领出来。

15 那时法老几乎不容我们去,耶和华就把埃及所有头生的,无论是人是牲畜,都杀了。因此,我把一切头生的公牲畜献给耶和华为祭,但将头生的儿子都赎出来。

16 这要在你上作记号,在你额上作经文,因为耶和华用大能的我们埃及领出来。

17 法老容百姓去的时候,非利士道路虽近,却不领他们从那里走;因为:恐怕百姓遇见打仗後悔,就回埃及去。

18 所以领百姓绕道而行,走红旷野以色列人埃及,都带着兵器上去。

19 摩西把约瑟的骸一同带去;因为约瑟曾叫以色列人严严地起誓,对他们说:必眷顾你们,你们要把我的骸从这里一同带上去。

20 他们从疏割起行,在旷野边的以倘安营。

21 日间,耶和华中领他们的;夜间,在中光照他们,使他们日夜都可以行走。

22 日间,夜间,总不离开百姓的面前。

7989. 'This was the night when Jehovah was keeping watch' means the Lord's presence with those governed by truth and good and with those ruled by evil and consequently by utter falsity. This is clear from the meaning of 'night' as a state of damnation, dealt with in 7851; and from the meaning of 'Jehovah's keeping watch' as the Lord's presence and consequent protection. For through the Lord's presence those governed by good and therefore guided by truth are given light, and those ruled by evil and consequently by falsity are made blind. Also through the Lord's presence those who are to be raised into heaven are brought out of damnation, for they are held back from evil and maintained in good by the Lord, and with great force. And through the Lord's presence too those who are to be cast down into hell are brought to damnation, for as the Lord presents Himself to them more completely, so they descend into evil, 7643, 7926. This then is why that state and that time are called 'the night when Jehovah was keeping watch'. Further on, the Lord's presence is described by the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night, present there to lead them, Exodus 13:21. And His presence both with those guided by goodness and truth and with those steeped in evil and falsity is described when it says that the pillar positioned itself between the camp of Israel and the camp of the Egyptians, and that when Jehovah looked from it towards the camp of the Egyptians, the Egyptians were drowned in the Sea Suph, Exodus 14:19-20, 24-27.
