Izlazak 6

Studie

   

1 Jahve reče Mojsiju: "Naskoro ćeš vidjeti kako ću ja s faraonom! Pod jakom rukom pustit će ih da odu; pod jakom rukom sam će ih iz svoje zemlje istjerati."

2 Još reče Bog Mojsiju: "Ja sam Jahve.

3 Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu objavljivao sam se kao El Šadaj. Ali njima se nisam očitovao pod svojim imenom - Jahve.

4 I sklopio sam svoj Savez s njima da ću im dati kanaansku zemlju, zemlju gdje su živjeli kao pridošlice.

5 A sada, pošto sam čuo uzdisaje Izraelaca koje Egipćani drže u ropstvu, sjetih se svoga Saveza.

6 Kaži, dakle, Izraelcima da sam ja Jahve; da ću vas izbaviti od tereta što su vam ga Egipćani nametnuli. Oslobodit ću vas od ropstva u kojem vas drže; izbavit ću vas udarajući jako i kažnjavajući strogo.

7 Za svoj ću vas narod uzeti i bit ću vašim Bogom. Tada ćete znati da sam vas ja, Jahve, vaš Bog, izbavio od egipatske tlake.

8 Dovest ću vas u zemlju za koju sam se zakleo da ću je dati Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu i dat ću vam je u baštinu, ja, Jahve."

9 Mojsije to kazivaše Izraelcima, ali ga ne htjedoše slušati: duhovi su im bili pomućeni od teškoga ropstva.

10 Onda Jahve reče Mojsiju:

11 "Idi i reci faraonu, kralju egipatskome, da otpusti Izraelce iz svoje zemlje."

12 Mojsije prozbori Jahvi: "Kad me Izraelci nisu slušali, kako će me, spora u govoru, saslušati faraon!"

13 Ali je Jahve govorio Mojsiju i Aronu i slao ih sad k Izraelcima, a sad k faraonu, kralju egipatskome, da pusti Izraelce iz Egipta.

14 Ovo su glave njihovih domova. Sinovi Izraelova prvorođenca Rubena: Henok, Palu, Hesron i Karmi. To su obitelji potekle od Rubena.

15 A sinovi Šimunovi: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Sohar i Šaul, sin Kanaanke. To su obitelji potekle od Šimuna.

16 Ovo su imena Levijevih sinova s njihovim potomstvom: Geršon, Kehat i Merari. Levi je živio sto trideset i sedam godina.

17 Sinovi su Geršonovi: Libni i Šimi sa svojim obiteljima.

18 Sinovi su Kehatovi: Amram, Jishar, Hebron i Uziel. Kehat je živio sto trideset i tri godine.

19 Merarijevi su sinovi: Mahli i Muši. To su Levijeve obitelji s njihovim potomcima.

20 Amram se oženi svojom tetkom Jokebedom, koja mu rodi Arona i Mojsija. Amram je živio sto trideset i sedam godina.

21 Sinovi Jisharovi bijahu: Korah, Nefeg i Zikri.

22 A sinovi su Uzielovi: Mišael, Elsafan i Sitri.

23 Aron se oženi Elišebom, kćerkom Aminadabovom, a sestrom Nahšonovom, koja mu rodi: Nadaba, Abihua, Eleazara i Itamara.

24 Korahovi su sinovi: Asir, Elkana i Abiasaf. To su Korahovi potomci.

25 Aronov sin Eleazar oženi se jednom Putielovom kćeri, koja mu rodi Pinhasa. To su glave Levijevih domova prema njihovim koljenima.

26 To je onaj Aron i Mojsije kojima je Jahve zapovjedio da izvedu Izraelce iz Egipta po njihovim četama.

27 To su oni isti, Mojsije i Aron, koji su govorili faraonu, kralju egipatskome, da pusti Izraelce iz Egipta.

28 U dan kad je Jahve govorio s Mojsijem u egipatskoj zemlji,

29 rekao mu je: "Ja sam Jahve. Izvijesti faraona, egipatskoga kralja, o svemu što ti kažem."

30 Mojsije se pred Jahvom ispričavao: "Spor sam ja u govoru. Kako će me faraon poslušati?"

7193. 'And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Shaddai' means the temptations which the Lord underwent in His Human and the temptations that faithful believers undergo, and the subsequent periods of consolation. This is clear from the meaning of 'appearing' or 'being seen', when used in reference to Jehovah, as perception from the Divine, dealt with in 2150, 3764, 4567, 5400; and from the representation of 'Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob' as the Lord in respect of the Divine itself and the Divine Human, dealt with in 6804, 6847. But here, since Jehovah is the speaker and says that He had appeared to them, the Lord in respect of the Human, that is, the Human before it had been made Divine, is meant, 'Abraham' meaning the celestial degree within that Human, 'Isaac' the spiritual degree, and 'Jacob' the natural degree.

[2] The reason why the Lord in respect of the Human, not the Divine itself and the Divine Human, is meant here by these three is that temptations are being referred to, and the Lord's Human before it was made Divine was able to be tempted, but not the Divine Human, still less the Divine itself; for the Divine is beyond any kind of temptation. Those in hell who are tempters cannot approach even celestial angels, for when they do approach them they are seized by a feeling of dread and anguish, and feel as if they were being deprived of air. Since they cannot approach celestial angels, because of the Divine presence among those angels, far less can they approach the Divine who is infinitely higher than the angelic level. From all this it may be recognized that the Lord took infirm humanity from His mother in order that He might undergo temptation, and by means of temptations might restore to order everything in heaven and in hell, and at the same time glorify His human, that is, make it Divine.

[3] For the meaning of 'God Shaddai' as temptations and subsequent periods of consolation, see 1992, 3667, 4572, 5628. The expression 'subsequent periods of consolation' is used because it is in keeping with Divine order that feelings of grief which temptations bring should be followed by those of comfort, just as evening and night are followed by morning and the dawn. These are also corresponding conditions, for there are alternations of states in the next life, just as there are alternations of times of day in the world. States involving temptations and molestations, and also states involving desolations, constitute evening and night in that life, while states which are periods of consolation and festivity constitute morning and dawn there. The reason why the same words, the words 'I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob', also mean the temptations that faithful believers undergo, and subsequent periods of consolation, is that a person's regeneration, which is effected by means of temptations, is an image of the Lord's glorification, 3138, 3212, 3296, 3490, 4402, 5688, and therefore the things in the Word which relate in the highest sense to the Lord relate in the comparable internal sense to faithful believers.
