出埃及记 2

Studie

   

1 有一个利未家的娶了一个利未女子为妻。

2 女人怀孕,生一个儿子,见他俊美,就藏了他个月,

3 後来不能再藏,就取了一个蒲草箱,抹上石漆和石油,将孩子放在里头,把箱子搁在河边的芦荻中。

4 孩子的姊姊远远站着,要知道他究竟怎麽样。

5 法老的女儿来到河边洗澡,他的使女们在河边行走。他见箱子在芦荻中,就打发一个婢女拿来。

6 打开箱子,见那孩子。孩子哭了,他就可怜他,:「这是希伯来人的一个孩子。」

7 孩子的姊姊对法老的女儿:「我去在希伯来妇人一个奶妈来,为你奶这孩子,可以不可以?」

8 法老的女儿:「可以。」童女就去了孩子的母亲来。

9 法老的女儿对他:「你把这孩子抱去,为我奶他,我必你工价。」妇人就抱了孩子去奶他。

10 孩子渐长,妇人把他法老的女儿那里,就作了他的儿子。他给孩子起名摩西,意思:因我把他从里拉出来。

11 後来,摩西长大,他出去到他弟兄那里,他们的重担,见一个埃及希伯来人的一个弟兄。

12 他左右观,见没有,就把埃及打死了,藏在沙土里。

13 第二他出去,见有两个希伯来人争斗,就对那欺负人的:「你为甚麽打你同族的人呢?」

14 那人:「谁立你作我们的首领和审判官呢?难道你要杀我,像杀那埃及人麽?」摩西便惧:「这事必是被人知道了。」

15 法老见这事,就想杀摩西,但摩西躲避法老,逃往米甸居住

16 一日,他在井旁坐下。米甸的祭司有女儿;他们打水,打满了,要饮父亲

17 有牧的人,把他们赶走了,摩西起来帮助他们,又饮了他们的

18 他们父亲流珥那里;他:「今日你们为何得这麽呢?」

19 他们:「有一个埃及我们脱离牧羊人,并且为我们饮了。」

20 他对女儿们:「那个在那里?你们为甚麽撇下他呢?你们去请他来饭。」

21 摩西甘心和那;那把他的女儿西坡拉摩西为妻。

22 西坡拉生了一个儿子,摩西给他起名革舜,意思:「因我在外邦作了寄居的。」

23 过了多年,埃及死了以色列人因做苦工,就叹息哀求,他们的哀声达於

24 见他们的哀声,就记念他与亚伯拉罕以撒雅各所立的约。

25 以色列人,也知道他们的苦情。

6770. Verses 15-19 And Pharaoh heard of this matter and sought to kill Moses. And Moses fled from before Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he dwelt next to a well. And the priest of Midian had seven daughters; and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock. And the shepherds came and drove them away; and Moses rose up and helped them, and watered their flock. And they came to Reuel their father, and he said, Why have you hastened to come today? And they said, An Egyptian man delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds; and he even drew water for us, and watered the flock.

'And Pharaoh heard of this matter and sought to kill Moses' means that having discerned this matter false factual knowledge wished to destroy the truth which the law from God possessed. 'And Moses fled from before Pharaoh' means that it was separated from falsities. 'And dwelt in the land of Midian' means a life led in the Church among those in whom simple good was present. 'And he dwelt next to a well' means an eagerness there for the Word. 'And the priest of Midian had seven daughters' means holy things belonging to that Church. 'And they came and drew water' means that they received instruction in truths from the Word. 'And filled the troughs' means that from there they enriched teachings about charity. 'To water their flock' means to the end that those governed by good might receive instruction from there. 'And the shepherds came and drove them away' means that teachers steeped in evils set themselves against them. 'And Moses rose up and helped them' means aid brought by truths which the law from God possesses. 'And watered their flock' means that those governed by good received instruction from it. 'And they came to Reuel their father' means a joining to the actual good of that Church. 'And he said, Why have you hastened to come today?' means a perception that now it was a certain joining together. 'And they said, An Egyptian man delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds' means because true factual knowledge that was [attached] to the Church prevailed over the power of the teachings that presented falsity arising from evil. 'And he even drew water for us' means that the instruction it gave came from the Word. 'And watered the flock' means those who belonged to the Church there.
