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.

7004. 'And to put words in his mouth' means that the things he utters will go forth from the Divine Human. This is clear from the representation of 'Moses', who was to put words in Aaron's mouth, as the Lord's Divine Truth which goes forth from His Divine Human, dealt with already; and from the meaning of 'mouth' as voice and utterance, dealt with above in 6987, so that 'putting in the mouth' means giving to utter. But when the phrase is used in reference to the Lord it means to go forth, for the Word, uttered by a spirit or angel, goes forth from the Lord's Divine Human. For 'Aaron' represents teachings that present what is good and true, which are given utterance.

[2] The implications of all this are that from the Lord Divine Truth goes forth in direct and indirect ways. What goes forth directly is entirely beyond angels' power of understanding; but what goes forth by an indirect way is fully suited to angels in heaven and also to men on earth, for the way it takes passes through heaven and by going this way it takes on a nature appropriate for angels and a nature appropriate for men. But the Lord also flows directly into this truth and thereby leads angels and men not only indirectly but also directly, see 6058. For everything in general and in particular owes its existence to the Primary Being (Esse), and established order is such that the Primary Being in things derived from it is present indirectly and directly, and so is present in the last and lowest degree of order no less than in the first. For the Divine Truth itself is altogether the substance, whereas the things derived from it are nothing else than the subsequent forms that are given to that substance. From this it is also evident that the Divine also flows directly into every single thing; for all things have been created by Divine Truth, because Divine Truth is altogether the essence, 6880, and so is that from which all things receive their being. Divine Truth is what is called 'the Word' in John,

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. John 1:1, 3.

Through this kind of inflowing the Lord leads a person not only by the operation of His providence in a general way but also in every specific way, indeed in the most specific of all. This then is the reason why it is said that the things that are uttered will go forth from the Divine Human.

[3] I have been told from heaven, and led to perceive from actual experience, that the Lord flows in directly when He also does so indirectly, and so is present in the last and lowest degree of order no less than in the first. I have in addition been told and led to perceive that comparatively little is accomplished by indirect influx, that is, by influx through heaven and the angels there, and also that by direct influx the Lord simultaneously leads heaven and keeps every single thing there properly connected and ordered.
