出埃及記 2

Studie

   

1 有一個利未家的娶了一個利未女子為妻。

2 女人懷孕,生一個兒子,見他俊美,就藏了他個月,

3 後來不能再藏,就取了一個蒲草箱,抹上石漆和石油,將孩子放在裡頭,把箱子擱在河邊的蘆荻中。

4 孩子的姊姊遠遠站著,要知道他究竟怎麼樣。

5 法老的女兒來到河邊洗澡,他的使女們在河邊行走。他見箱子在蘆荻中,就打發一個婢女拿來。

6 打開箱子,見那孩子。孩子哭了,他就可憐他,:「這是希伯來人的一個孩子。」

7 孩子的姊姊對法老的女兒:「我去在希伯來婦人中一個奶媽來,為你奶這孩子,可以不可以?」

8 法老的女兒:「可以。」童女就去了孩子的母親來。

9 法老的女兒對他:「你把這孩子抱去,為我奶他,我必你工價。」婦人就抱了孩子去奶他。

10 孩子漸長,婦人把他法老的女兒那裡,就作了他的兒子。他給孩子起名摩西,意思:因我把他從裡拉出來。

11 後來,摩西長大,他出去到他弟兄那裡,他們的重擔,見一個埃及希伯來人的一個弟兄。

12 他左右觀,見沒有,就把埃及打死了,藏在沙土裡。

13 第二他出去,見有兩個希伯來人爭鬥,就對那欺負人的:「你為甚麼打你同族的人呢?」

14 那人:「誰立你作我們的首領和審判官呢?難道你要殺我,像殺那埃及人麼?」摩西便懼:「這事必是被人知道了。」

15 法老見這事,就想殺摩西,但摩西躲避法老,逃往米甸居住

16 一日,他在井旁坐下。米甸的祭司有女兒;他們打水,打滿了,要飲父親

17 有牧的人,把他們趕走了,摩西起來幫助他們,又飲了他們的

18 他們父親流珥那裡;他:「今日你們為何得這麼呢?」

19 他們:「有一個埃及我們脫離牧羊人,並且為我們飲了。」

20 他對女兒們:「那個在那裡?你們為甚麼撇下他呢?你們去請他來飯。」

21 摩西甘心和那;那把他的女兒西坡拉摩西為妻。

22 西坡拉生了一個兒子,摩西給他起名革舜,意思:「因我在外邦作了寄居的。」

23 過了多年,埃及死了以色列人因做苦工,就歎息哀求,他們的哀聲達於

24 見他們的哀聲,就記念他與亞伯拉罕以撒雅各所立的約。

25 以色列人,也知道他們的苦情。

Father

  
Rudolf von Arthaber with his Children, by Friedrich von Amerling

Father in the Word means what is most interior, and in those things that are following the Lord's order, it means what is good. In the highest sense Father means the Lord Himself, the creator. In the generation of natural children it is the father who provides the soul or the most interior receptacle of life, and an internal heredity, and the mother who provides all of the substance that the soul uses to form its body, plus an external heredity. In this process the soul comes from the Lord through the father, and not from the father, since all life is from the Lord. The wise person calls the Lord his father and the church his mother because his interior loves come from the Lord, but are given form and actuality through the truths taught by the church. Those things thus brought forth are a person's spiritual "children". In the New Testament, when speaking of Jesus and the Father, what is meant is the outward manifestation with the divine itself as the soul inside. Because Jesus was born from a natural mother, He had a natural body and a natural Jewish heredity. Throughout his life as He was tempted by the hells, He slowly put off all he had from His mother and replaced it with what He had from Himself inside, the Father. In doing this he made himself one with the Father that was His inmost so He could truly say, "I and my Father are one".
