Izlazak 3

Studie

   

1 Mojsije pasao ovce svoga tasta Jitra, midjanskoga svećenika. Goneći tako stado po pustari, dođe do Horeba, brda Božjega.

2 Anđeo mu se Jahvin ukaže u rasplamtjeloj vatri iz jednog grma. On se zagleda: grm sav u plamenu, a ipak ne izgara.

3 "Hajde da priđem, " reče Mojsije, "i promotrim ovaj čudni prizor: zašto grm ne sagorijeva."

4 Kad je Jahve vidio kako prilazi da razmotri, iz grma ga Bog zovne: "Mojsije! Mojsije!" "Evo me!" - javi se.

5 "Ne prilazi ovamo!" - reče. "Izuj obuću s nogu! Jer mjesto na kojem stojiš sveto je tlo.

6 Ja sam", nastavi, "Bog tvoga oca; Bog Abrahamov, Bog Izakov, Bog Jakovljev." Mojsije zakloni lice: bojao se u Boga gledati.

7 "Vidio sam jade svoga naroda u Egiptu", nastavi Jahve, "i čuo mu tužbu na tlačitelje njegove. Znane su mi muke njegove.

8 Zato sam sišao da ga izbavim iz šaka egipatskih i odvedem ga iz te zemlje u dobru i prostranu zemlju - u zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko: u postojbinu Kanaanaca, Hetita, Amorejaca, Perižana, Hivijaca i Jebusejaca.

9 Vapaji sinova Izraelovih dopriješe do mene. I sam vidjeh kako ih Egipćani tlače.

10 Zato, hajde! Ja te šaljem faraonu da izbaviš narod moj, Izraelce, iz Egipta."

11 "Tko sam ja da se uputim faraonu", odgovori Mojsije Bogu, "i izvedem Izraelce iz Egipta!"

12 "Ja ću biti s tobom", nastavi. "I ovo će ti biti znak da sam te ja poslao: kad izvedeš narod iz Egipta, Bogu ćete iskazati štovanje na ovome brdu."

13 Nato Mojsije reče Bogu: "Ako dođem k Izraelcima pa im kažem: 'Bog otaca vaših poslao me k vama', i oni me zapitaju: 'Kako mu je ime?' - što ću im odgovoriti?"

14 "Ja sam koji jesam", reče Bog Mojsiju. Onda nastavi: "Ovako kaži Izraelcima: 'Ja jesam' posla me k vama."

15 Dalje je Bog Mojsiju rekao: "Kaži Izraelcima ovako: 'Jahve, Bog vaših otaca, Bog Abrahamov, Bog Izakov i Bog Jakovljev, poslao me k vama.' To mi je ime dovijeka, tako će me zvati od koljena do koljena."

16 "Idi, skupi starješine Izraelaca pa im kaži: 'Jahve, Bog otaca - Bog Abrahamov, Izakov i Jakovljev - objavio mi se i rekao mi: Pohodio sam vas i razabrao što vam se čini u Egiptu.

17 Odlučio sam vas izvesti iz egipatske bijede u zemlju Kanaanaca, Hetita, Amorejaca, Perižana, Hivijaca i Jebusejaca - u zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko!'

18 Oni će te poslušati. Onda pođi sa starješinama Izraelaca k egipatskom kralju i reci mu: 'Objavio nam se Jahve, Bog Hebreja. Pusti nas da odemo tri dana hoda u pustinju, da ondje prinesemo žrtvu Jahvi, Bogu svojemu.'

19 Znam ja da vas egipatski kralj neće pustiti ako ne bude natjeran teškom šakom.

20 Zato ću ja pružiti svoju šaku i pritisnuti Egipat svakovrsnim čudesima što ću ih u njemu izvesti. Poslije će vas pustiti.

21 Dobro ću raspoložiti Egipćane prema ovome narodu, pa kad pođete, nećete poći praznih ruku.

22 Svaka će žena zatražiti od svoje susjede i stanarke u svojoj kući nakita srebrnog i zlatnog i odjeće. To stavite na svoje sinove i kćeri. Tako ćete oplijeniti Egipćane."

9789. 'For their generations among the children of Israel' means eternity for the spiritual kingdom. This is clear from the meaning of 'generations' as eternity, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'the children of Israel' as the spiritual Church, dealt with in 9340, thus also the spiritual kingdom. For the Lord's spiritual kingdom in heaven is the spiritual heaven; on earth it is the spiritual Church. The reason why 'generations' means eternity is that in the internal sense generations of faith and charity are meant, 613, 2020, 2584, 6239, 9042, 9079, and so things of heaven and the Church, which things are eternal. Also the children of Israel, to whom the word 'generations' applies, mean the Church, 9340. The fact that eternity is meant by 'generations' is evident from the following places in the Word: In Isaiah,

My righteousness will exist to eternity, and My salvation from generation to generation. 1 Awake as in the days of old, the generations of eternity. 2 Isaiah 51:8-9.

In the same prophet,

I will make you an eternal magnificence, 3 a joy of generation after generation. Isaiah 60:15.

In the same prophet,

Its smoke will go up to eternity. From generation to generation it will be laid waste; no one will pass through it for ever and ever. 4 Isaiah 34:10.

In David,

The counsel of Jehovah will stand to eternity, the thoughts of His heart to all generations. 5 Psalms 33:11.

In the same author,

I will praise Your name to eternity and forever. 6 Generation to generation will praise Your works. Psalms 145:2-4.

In the same author,

They will fear You with the sun, and before the moon, from generation to generation. 7 Psalms 72:5.

In Moses,

This is My name to eternity, and this is My memorial from one generation to another. 8 Exodus 3:15.

There are very many other places besides these. When it says that things will exist 'to eternity' and from 'generation to generation', 'eternity' has regard to the Divine Celestial or Good, and 'generation' to the Divine Spiritual or Truth. For in the Word, especially the prophetic part, two expressions that have reference to one and the same thing are very frequently used, as in the places quoted above in which eternity and generation to generation occur. They are used because of the heavenly marriage that is present in every single part of the Word. The heavenly marriage is a marriage of good and truth, or the Lord and heaven joined together, see the places referred to in 9263.
