Izlazak 4

Studie

   

1 Mojsije uzvrati: "Ali ako mi ne povjeruju i ne poslušaju me, nego mi reknu: 'Jahve ti se nije objavio?'"

2 "Što ti je to u ruci?" - zapita ga Jahve. "Štap", odgovori.

3 "Baci ga na zemlju!" - naredi mu Jahve. On ga baci na zemlju, a štap se pretvori u zmiju. Mojsije pred njom uzmače.

4 Onda Jahve reče Mojsiju: "Pruži ruku i uhvati je za rep." I on seže rukom i uhvati je za rep, a ona opet postade štap u njegovoj ruci.

5 "Tako moraju vjerovati da se Jahve, Bog njihovih otaca, Bog Abrahamov, Bog Izakov i Bog Jakovljev, tebi objavio."

6 Još mu Jahve rekne: "Uvuci ruku u njedra." On uvuče ruku u njedra. Kad ju je izvukao, gle - ruka mu gubava, bijela kao snijeg.

7 "Stavi opet ruku u njedra!" - naredi mu Jahve. On opet ruku u njedra. Kad ju je iz njedara izvukao, gle - opet je bila kao i ostali dio tijela.

8 "Ako ti ne povjeruju i ne prihvate poruku prvoga znamenja, povjerovat će poruci drugoga znamenja.

9 A ako ih oba ova znamenja ne uvjere pa ti ne povjeruju, zahvati vode iz Rijeke i prolij je po suhu. Voda što je budeš iz Rijeke uzeo na suhu će se u krv pretvoriti."

10 "Oprosti, Gospodine!" - nastavi Mojsije Jahvi. "Ja nikad nisam bio čovjek rječit; ni prije ni sada kad govoriš svome sluzi. Ja sam u govoru spor, a na jeziku težak."

11 "Tko je dao čovjeku usta?" - reče mu Jahve. "Tko ga čini nijemim i gluhim; tko li mu vid daje ili ga osljepljuje? Zar to nisam ja, Jahve!

12 Idi, dakle! Ja ću biti s tobom kad budeš govorio i kazivat ću ti što ćeš govoriti."

13 "Oprosti, Gospodine", opet će Mojsije, "ne bi li poslao koga drugoga!"

14 Razljuti se Jahve na Mojsija i reče: "Zar Aron, Levijevac, nije tvoj brat? Znam da je on vrlo rječit. Evo, baš ti izlazi u susret. Kad te vidi, obradovat će se u srcu.

15 Ti govori njemu i u njegova usta stavljaj riječi. Ja ću biti i s tobom i s njime dok budete govorili; kazivat ću obojici što ćete raditi.

16 Neka on mjesto tebe govori narodu. Tako, on će tebi biti mjesto usta, a ti ćeš njemu biti mjesto Boga.

17 Uzmi ovaj štap u ruku. Njim izvodi znamenja."

18 Zatim se Mojsije vrati svome tastu Jitru te mu reče: "Pusti me da se vratim braći u Egipat da vidim jesu li još na životu." "Pođi u miru!" - reče Jitro Mojsiju.

19 I Jahve reče Mojsiju u Midjanu: "Vrati se u Egipat, jer su pomrli svi ljudi koji su tražili tvoj život."

20 Tako Mojsije posadi na magarca svoju ženu i sinove i ode u zemlju egipatsku. A u ruku Mojsije uze Božji štap.

21 Jahve opet reče Mojsiju: "Kad se vratiš u Egipat, pobrini se da pred faraonom izvedeš sva čudesa za koja sam ti dao moć, premda ću ja tvrdim učiniti njegovo srce, tako te neće pustiti narod da ode.

22 Tada reci faraonu: 'Ovako kaže Jahve: Izrael je moj prvorođenac.

23 Tražim od tebe da mi pustiš sina da mi iskaže štovanje. Ako odbiješ da ga pustiš, ja ću ubiti tvoga prvorođenca.'"

24 Kad se na putu Mojsije zaustavi da prenoći, navali na nj Jahve da ga ubije.

25 Ali Sipora pograbi oštar kremen, obreza svoga sina i kožicom se dotakne Mojsijevih nogu: "Zaista si mi ti krvav muž", reče.

26 I Jahve ga pusti. Ona je to zbog obrezanja rekla "krvav muž".

27 Onda rekne Jahve Aronu: "Zaputi se prema pustinji, u susret Mojsiju!" On ode i s njim se sastane na Božjem brdu. Poljubi ga.

28 Mojsije pripovjedi Aronu sve što mu je Jahve povjerio i sva znamenja koja mu je naredio da ih učini.

29 Sad odu Mojsije i Aron i skupe sve starješine Izraelaca.

30 Aron izloži sve što je Jahve govorio Mojsiju, a Mojsije izvede znamenja naočigled naroda.

31 Narod je bio uvjeren, i pošto čuše da je Jahve pohodio Izraelce i pogledao na njihove jade, popadaše ničice i pokloniše se.

6993. 'And I will be with your mouth, and teach you the things you will speak' means the Divine in every single thing that emanates from the Divine Human. This is clear from the meaning of 'being with the mouth', when said by Jehovah, as being with the things it utters ('mouth' meaning utterance, see above in 6987, 6988), and since these words are addressed to Moses, who represents the Lord in respect of the law of God in the Divine Human, 'I will be with your mouth' means the Divine in the things that emanate from the Divine Human; and from the meaning of 'teaching you the things you will speak' as emanating. For 'teaching and 'speaking' mean flowing in; but when they are used in reference to the Lord's Divine, emanating is meant. For from the Lord's Divine Human emanates Divine Truth, which is called the Holy Spirit. And since the Lord when He was in the world was Himself Divine Truth, He taught matters of love and faith. He did not do so at that time through the Holy Spirit, as He teaches in John,

The Holy Spirit was not yet because Jesus was not yet glorified. John 7:39.

But after the Lord had become Jehovah, that is, Divine Good, in respect of the Human also, which was after the Resurrection, He was no longer Divine Truth. This now emanated instead from His Divine Good. The fact that the Holy Spirit is Divine Truth which emanates from the Lord's Divine Human, and not any spirit or spirits existing from eternity, is plainly evident from the Lord's words in the text quoted above - 'the Holy Spirit was not yet' - as well as from the consideration that a spirit himself cannot emanate from Him, only that which is holy with a spirit, that is, something holy which emanates from the Lord and is uttered by the spirit. See also 6788.

[2] From all this it now follows that within the Lord the entire Trinity is complete; that is to say, within Him are Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and thus that there is one God, not three who, though persons distinct from one another, are said to constitute one Deity. In the Word the names Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were used in order that people might acknowledge the Lord and also the Divine within Him. For mankind was in such thick darkness, as it also is at the present day, that it could not in any other way have acknowledged anything Divine in the Lord's Human; being wholly incomprehensible to them it would have been entirely beyond belief. Furthermore the truth is that there is a Trinity, but within one, who is the Lord; and Christian Churches also acknowledge that the Trinity resides within Him in completeness. In addition the Lord explicitly taught that He was one with the Father, John 14:9-12, and that what is holy, which is spoken by the Holy Spirit, is not the Spirit's but the Lord's, in John,

The Paraclete, the Spirit of Truth, will not speak from Himself, but whatever He hears He will speak. He will glorify Me, because He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. John 16:13-14.

The fact that 'the Paraclete' is the Holy Spirit is stated in John 14:26.
