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.

7058. 'And Moses told Aaron all Jehovah's words' means an influx of truth going forth directly from the Lord's Divine into truth that goes forth in an indirect way, and instruction in specific doctrinal teachings. This is clear from the meaning of 'telling' as influx, dealt with in 5966; from the representation of 'Moses' as truth going forth directly from the Lord's Divine, dealt with in 7010, 7054; from the representation of 'Aaron' as truth that goes forth in an indirect way from the Lord's Divine, dealt with in 7009; and from the meaning of 'all Jehovah's words' as specific doctrinal teachings. Instruction is meant by 'Moses told Aaron' those things, because instruction from the Divine is effected by means of influx, meant by 'telling'. From all this it is evident that 'Moses told all Jehovah's words' means an influx of truth going forth directly from the Lord's Divine into truth that goes forth in an indirect way, and instruction in specific doctrinal teachings.

[2] As regards instruction in specific doctrinal teachings, it is imparted when truth going forth directly from the Lord's Divine is joined to truth that goes forth in an indirect way; for then perception is imparted, see above in 7055. The two kinds of truth are joined together especially among the angels who are in the third or inmost heaven, those who are called celestial. They have a keen perception of both, and from that a clear feeling of the Lord's presence. The reason for this is that they more than others are governed by good, for in them the good of innocence is present. As a consequence they are nearest the Lord, surrounded by flashing and so to speak burning light, for they see the Lord as the Sun, whose radiating light has that appearance because they are so near Him.

[3] The expression 'truth going forth directly from the Lord's Divine' is used even though the subject here in the internal sense is the Lord when He was in the world and called upon His Father as if He were separate from Himself. But the situation then, as stated a number of times already, was that the Divine itself or Jehovah was within Him; for He had been conceived from Jehovah, whom for that reason He also called His Father, while calling Himself His Son. But at that time the weak Human inherited from His mother had come to the forefront in the Lord; and to the extent that it did so, Jehovah or the Divine itself which was within Him seemed to be absent, whereas to the extent that the Human that had been glorified or made Divine had come to the forefront in the Lord, Jehovah or the Divine itself was present, there in the Human itself. From this one may now know how to understand the idea that truth which had gone forth directly from the Divine came from the Lord's Divine.
