出埃及記 10

Studie

   

1 耶和華摩西:你進去見法老。我使他和他臣僕的剛硬,為要在他們中間顯我這些神蹟,

2 並要叫你將我向埃及人所做的事,和在他們中間所行的神蹟,傳於你兒子和你孫子的耳中,好叫你們知道我是耶和華

3 摩西亞倫就進去見法老,對他耶和華希伯來人這樣:你在我面前不肯自卑要到幾時呢?容我的百姓去,好事奉我。

4 你若不肯容我的百姓去,明天我要使蝗蟲進入你的境內,

5 遮滿地面,甚不見,並且冰雹所剩的和田間所長的一切樹木

6 你的宮殿和你眾臣僕的房屋,並一切埃及人房屋,都要被蝗蟲佔滿了;自從你祖宗和你祖宗的祖宗在世以來,直到今日,沒有見過這樣的災。摩西就轉身離開法老出去。

7 法老的臣僕對法老:這人為我們網羅要到幾時呢?容這些人去事奉耶和華─他們的罷!埃及已經敗壞了,你還不知道麼?

8 於是摩西亞倫被召回來法老法老對他們:你們去事奉耶和華─你們的;但那要去的是誰呢?

9 摩西:我們要和我們老的少的、兒子女兒同去,且把羊群牛群一同帶去,因為我們務要向耶和華守節。

10 法老對他們:我容你們和你們婦人孩子去的時候,耶和華與你們同在罷!你們要謹慎;因為有禍在你們眼前(或作:你們存著惡意),

11 不可都去!你們這壯年人去事奉耶和華罷,因為這是你們所求的。於是把他們從法老面前攆出去。

12 耶和華摩西:你向埃及伸杖,使蝗蟲埃及上來,上一切的菜蔬,就是冰雹所剩的。

13 摩西就向埃及伸杖,那一晝一夜,耶和華使東颳在埃及上;到了早晨,東蝗蟲颳了來。

14 蝗蟲上來,落在埃及的四境,甚是厲害;以前沒有這樣的,以也必沒有。

15 因為這蝗蟲遮滿地面,甚至都黑暗了,又上一切的菜蔬和冰雹上的果子。埃及,無論是樹木,是田間的菜蔬,連一點青的也沒有留下。

16 於是法老急忙召了摩西亞倫來,:我得罪耶和華─你們的,又得罪了你們。

17 現在求你,只這一次,饒恕我的,求耶和華─你們的使我脫離這一次的死亡。

18 摩西就離開法老去求耶和華

19 耶和華了極大的西,把蝗蟲颳起,吹入紅;在埃及的四境連個也沒有留下。

20 耶和華使法老的剛硬,不容以色列人去。

21 耶和華摩西:你向伸杖,使埃及黑暗;這黑暗似乎摸得著。

22 摩西伸杖,埃及就烏黑了

23 之久,不能相見,誰也不敢起來離開本處;惟有以色列人家中都有亮

24 法老就召摩西來,:你們去事奉耶和華;只是你們的羊群牛群要留下;你們的婦人孩子可以和你們同去。

25 摩西:你總要把祭物和燔祭牲交我們,使我們可以祭祀耶和華我們

26 我們的牲畜也要帶去,連一也不留下;因為我們要從其中取出,事奉耶和華我們我們未到那裡,還不知道用甚麼事奉耶和華

27 耶和華使法老的剛硬,不肯容他們去。

28 法老對摩西:你離開我去罷,你要小心,不要再見我的面!因為你見我面的那日你就必

29 摩西:你得好!我必不再見你的面了。

7727. 'And we must make them to Jehovah our God' means which - namely worship - is acceptable to the Lord. This is clear from what comes before; that is to say, 'sacrifices and burnt offerings' means worship, 7726, and 'flocks and herds', from which the sacrifices were taken, means the good from which the offering of worship is made, 7723, 7724, so that 'making sacrifices and burnt offerings to Jehovah' means an offering of worship from good which is acceptable - 'Jehovah' in the Word being the Lord, see 1343, 1736, 2921, 3023, 3035, 5041, 5663, 6280, 6281, 6307, 6905, 6945, 6956.

Arcana Coelestia # 3023

3023. 'I will make you swear by Jehovah, the God of heaven and the God of the earth' means an utterly sacred binding to the Divine which existed in highest things and in the things derived from these. This is clear from the meaning of 'making someone swear by' as binding by means of an oath, for to swear by is nothing else than to be bound to; and this bond is utterly sacred when one swears 'by Jehovah, the God of heaven and the God of the earth', that is, when one is bound to the Divine above and beneath, or what amounts to the same, to the Divine which exists in highest things and in the things derived from these. Since 'Jehovah the God of heaven' is used in reference to the Lord, it means Jehovah Himself, who is called 'the Father', from whom the Lord was conceived and so who was the Lord's Divine Essence; for His very conception transmitted that very Essence from which He had His being. 'Jehovah the God of the earth' means in this case Jehovah who is called 'the Son', and so means His Human Essence. The Human Essence came into being from the Divine Essence when the Lord made that Human Essence Divine also. Thus 'Jehovah the God of heaven' means the Divine as it exists in highest things, while 'Jehovah the God of the earth' means the Divine as it exists in the things derived from these. The Lord however is called 'Jehovah, the God of heaven' by virtue of His Divine in the heavens, and 'the God of the earth' by virtue of His Divine on earth. The Divine in the heavens is also that which resides with man in his internals, whereas the Divine on earth is that which does so in his externals. For man's internals constitute his 'heaven' because through them he is linked to angels, whereas his externals constitute his 'earth' because through them he is linked to men, 82, 913, 1411, 1733. When a person has been regenerated his internals flow into his externals, and externals exist from internals. From this one may also know what the internals of the Church are and what its externals.
