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?"

7225. 'And I am uncircumcised in the lips' means that to them I am impure. This is clear from the meaning of 'being uncircumcised' as being impure, for circumcision represented purification from filthy kinds of love, that is, from self-love and love of the world, see 2039, 2632, 2799, 4462, 7045, and therefore those who had not been circumcised and were called 'the uncircumcised' represented those who had not been purified from those kinds of love and so were impure, 3412, 3413, 4462, 7045; and from the meaning of 'the lips' as matters of doctrine, dealt with in 1286, 1288, so that 'uncircumcised in the lips' means being impure in those things which are matters of doctrine. For the expression 'uncircumcised' is used in reference to doctrine as well as to life. The ear is therefore spoken of as being uncircumcised in Jeremiah,

On whom shall I speak and testify and they will hear? Behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot listen. Behold, the Word of Jehovah has become a reproach; they have no wish for it. Jeremiah 6:10.

And the heart is spoken of as being uncircumcised, in the same prophet, All the house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart. Jeremiah 9:26.

In Ezekiel,

You are bringing in the sons of the foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in My sanctuary. Ezekiel 44:7, 9.

In Moses,

At that time their uncircumcised heart will be humbled. Leviticus 26:41.

[2] From these quotations it is evident that 'uncircumcised' means impure; and since all impurity springs from the impure kinds of love, which are love of the world and self-love, 'uncircumcised' means that which hinders the inflow of goodness and truth. Where those kinds of love are present inflowing goodness and truth are annihilated, for they are contrary to one another, as heaven and hell are. Therefore 'an uncircumcised ear' means disobedience, and 'an uncircumcised heart' a rejection of goodness and truth, which takes place especially when those kinds of love have fortified themselves with falsity like a wall around them.

[3] When Moses, being a stammerer, calls himself 'uncircumcised in the lips' it is on account of the internal sense. The expression is used so as to mean that those steeped in falsities, who are represented by 'Pharaoh', are not going to listen to things that might be told them from the law of God. And the reason why is that those steeped in falsities call truths belonging to the law of God falsities, and falsities that are contrary to the truths belonging to the law of God they call truths; for they are of an utterly contrary frame of mind. This being so, they view the truths taught by doctrine as altogether impure; and heavenly kinds of love are likewise seen by them as impure. And when they approach any community in heaven they emit a dreadful stench, which they imagine, when they become aware of it, to be emanating from that heavenly community, when in fact it is coming from themselves. For they are unaware of a stench until they are alongside that which is the opposite of it.
