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?"

7201. 'Therefore say to the children of Israel' means that the law of God will enable those who belong to the Lord's spiritual kingdom to discern. This is clear from the representation of Moses, the one who is told to 'say to the children of Israel', as the law of God, dealt with in 6723, 6752; from the meaning of 'saying' as discerning, dealt with in 1791, 1815, 1819, 1822, 1898, 1919, 2080, 2506, 2515, 2619, as enabling to discern, since the command 'say' has reference to the law of God; and from the representation of 'the children of Israel' as those who belong to the Lord's spiritual kingdom, dealt with in 6426, 6677.

2714. That 'Paran' means enlightenment coming from the Lord's Divine Human is clear from the meaning of 'Paran' as the Lord's Divine Human, as is evident from those places in the Word where this name is used, as in the prophet Habakkuk,

O Jehovah, I have heard Your fame; I was afraid. O Jehovah, revive Your work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make it known. In zeal You will remember mercy. God will come out of Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. His fame has covered the heavens, and the earth has been filled with His praise. And His brightness will be as the light; He has horns going out of His hand, and there the hiding-place of His strength will be. Habakkuk 3:2-4.

This plainly refers to the Lord's Coming, which is meant by 'reviving in the midst of the years' and 'making known in the midst of the years'. His Divine Human is described by the words 'God will come out of Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran'. He is said to come 'out of Teman' in regard to celestial love, and 'from Mount Paran' in regard to spiritual love; and the springing of these from enlightenment and power is meant by the words 'His brightness will be as the light; He has horns going out of His hand'. 'Brightness' and 'light' mean enlightenment, 'horns' power.

[2] In Moses,

Jehovah came from Sinai, and dawned from Seir upon them; He shone from Mount Paran, and came from myriads of holiness From His right hand came a fiery law for them. He indeed loves the peoples. All His holy ones are in your hand and have been joined together at your feet; and He will receive of your words. Deuteronomy 33:2-3.

This also refers to the Lord, whose Divine Human is described by the words 'He dawned from Seir' and 'He shone from Mount Paran' - 'from Seir' being used in regard to celestial love, 'from Mount Paran' to spiritual love. Those who are spiritual are meant by 'the peoples whom He loves' and by 'those joined together at your feet', 'the foot' meaning that which is lower, and so more obscure, in the Lord's kingdom.

[3] In the same author,

Chedorlaomer and the kings with him smote the Horites in their Mount Seir as far as El-paran, which is over into the wilderness. Genesis 14:5-6.

As regards the Lord's Divine Human being meant there by 'Mount Seir' and by 'El-paran', see 1675, 1676. In the same author,

So it was, in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day in the month, that the cloud lifted from over the tabernacle of the testimony. And the children of Israel travelled according to their travels from the wilderness of Sinai, and the cloud settled in the wilderness of Paran. Numbers 10:11-12.

[4] The truth that all the travels of the people in the wilderness mean the state of the Church militant, and its temptations, in which a person goes under but the Lord conquers on his behalf, and the truth that consequently they mean the Lord's own actual temptations and victories, will in the Lord's Divine mercy be shown elsewhere. And because the Lord underwent temptations by reason of His Divine Human, the Lord's Divine Human is in a similar way meant here by 'the wilderness of Paran'. The same is also meant by the following in the same author,

After that the people travelled from Hazeroth, and camped in the wilderness of Paran. And Jehovah spoke to Moses and said, Send men and let them explore the land of Canaan which I am giving to the children of Israel. And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran as spoken by the mouth of Jehovah. And they returned to Moses and to Aaron and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran in Kadesh; and they brought back word to them, and showed them the fruit of the land. Numbers 12:16; 13:1-3, 26.

Their travelling from the wilderness of Paran to explore the land of Canaan means that by means of the Lord's Divine Human these people - the children of Israel, by whom were meant those who are spiritual - have access to the heavenly kingdom, meant by the land of Canaan. But their faltering also at that time means their weakness, on account of which the Lord fulfilled everything in the Law, underwent temptations and was victorious, so that those with whom faith grounded in charity resides, also those who undergo temptations in which the Lord is victorious, have salvation from His Divine Human. This also explains why, when the Lord was tempted, He was in the wilderness, Matthew 4:1; Mark 1:12-13; Luke 4:1; see above in 2708.
