Izlazak 7

Studie

   

1 Mojsiju je Jahve odgovorio: "Vidi! Faraonu ću te nametnuti kao božanstvo; tvoj brat Aron bit će tvoj prorok.

2 Ti kazuj sve što ti naređujem, a tvoj brat Aron neka faraonu ponovi da pusti Izraelce te odu iz njegove zemlje.

3 Ja ću učiniti da otvrdne srce faraonu i umnožit ću znakove i čudesa u zemlji egipatskoj.

4 Kako vas faraon neće poslušati, ja ću staviti svoju ruku na Egipat: strašno kažnjavajući, izbavit ću svoje čete, narod svoj, Izraelce, iz egipatske zemlje.

5 Kad pružim svoju ruku na Egipat i izvedem Izraelce iz njihove sredine, tada će Egipćani spoznati da sam ja Jahve."

6 Mojsije i Aron poslušaše: kako im je Jahve naredio, upravo tako učiniše.

7 Mojsiju je bilo osamdeset, a Aronu osamdeset i tri godine kad su faraonu postavili svoje zahtjeve.

8 Još doda Jahve Mojsiju i Aronu:

9 "Kad faraon zatraži od vas da izvedete kakvo znamenje, ti reci Aronu da uzme svoj štap i baci ga pred faraona, a štap će se pretvoriti u zmiju."

10 Dođu Mojsije i Aron pred faraona i učine kako im je Jahve naredio. Aron baci pred faraona i njegove službenike svoj štap, koji se pretvori u zmiju.

11 Zovne faraon mudrace i vračare. I zaista, egipatski vračari svojim vračanjem učine isto:

12 svaki baci svoj štap, koji se pretvori u zmiju. Ali Aronov štap proguta njihove štapove.

13 Faraon bijaše tvrdokorna srca: ne htjede poslušati Mojsija i Arona, kako je Jahve i kazao.

14 Tada Jahve reče Mojsiju: "Faraonovo je srce okorjelo; odbija da pusti narod.

15 Ujutro pođi k faraonu. Kad izađe k vodi, stani preda nj na obali Rijeke. Uzmi u ruku štap što se bio u zmiju pretvorio.

16 Reci mu: 'Jahve, Bog Hebreja, poslao me k tebi s porukom da pustiš moj narod da mi iskaže štovanje u pustinji. Ali sve dosad ti nisi poslušao.

17 Ovako Jahve poručuje: Ovim ćeš spoznati da sam ja Jahve. Gledaj! Štapom koji imam u ruci mlatnut ću po vodi u Rijeci i pretvorit će se u krv.

18 Ribe će u Rijeci pocrkati; Rijeka će se usmrdjeti, i grstit će se Egipćanima piti vodu iz Rijeke.'"

19 Još Jahve reče Mojsiju: "Reci Aronu da uzme svoj štap i pruži svoju ruku povrh egipatskih voda: njihovih rijeka, njihovih prokopa, njihovih jezeraca, svih njihovih vodenih stjecišta, da se pretvore u krv; po svoj zemlji egipatskoj neka je krv, čak i u drvenim i kamenim posudama."

20 Mojsije i Aron učiniše kako im je Jahve naredio. Podiže Aron svoj štap i naočigled faraona i njegovih službenika mlatnu po vodi u Rijeci. Sva se voda u Rijeci prometnu u krv.

21 Ribe u Rijeci pocrkaše; Rijeka se usmrdje, tako da Egipćani nisu mogli piti vodu iz Rijeke; krv bijaše po svoj zemlji egipatskoj.

22 Ali egipatski vračari svojim vračanjem učiniše isto. Tako faraon ostade tvrdokorna srca: nije htio poslušati Mojsija i Arona, kako je Jahve i kazao.

23 Faraon se okrenu i ode u svoj dvor, ne uzimajući ni to k srcu.

24 Svi su Egipćani počeli kopati oko Rijeke tražeći pitke vode jer nisu mogli piti vode iz Rijeke.

25 Kad je prošlo sedam dana kako je Jahve udario po Rijeci,

26 opet Jahve reče Mojsiju: "Pođi k faraonu i reci mu: 'Ovako govori Jahve: Pusti moj narod da ode i štovanje mi iskaže.

27 Ako odbiješ da ih pustiš, svu ću ti zemlju kazniti žabama.

28 Rijeka će vrvjeti žabama. One će izići i prodrijeti u tvoj dvor, u ložnicu, u tvoju postelju, u kuće tvojih službenika i tvoga naroda, pod sačeve i naćve tvoje.

29 Po tebi, po tvome narodu i svim tvojim službenicima skakat će žabe.'"

7433. Verses 16-20 And Jehovah said to Moses, Rise up in the morning early to stand before Pharaoh; behold, he goes out to the water. And you are to say to him, Thus says Jehovah, Send My people away and let them serve Me. For if you do not send My people away, behold, I send onto you, and onto your servants, and onto your people, and into your houses, noxious flying insects; and the houses of the Egyptians will be full of the noxious flying insects, and also the land on which they are. And I will set apart on that day the land of Goshen, on which My people stand, so that the noxious flying insects are not there; to the end that you may know that I am Jehovah in the midst of the land. And I will place redemption between My people and your people; by tomorrow will this sign be. And Jehovah did so; and extremely noxious flying insects came to the house of Pharaoh, and to the houses of his servants, and into all the land of Egypt. The land was ruined by the presence of the noxious flying insects.

'And Jehovah said to Moses' means further instruction. 'Rise up in the morning early' means being raised to an even greater sign of power. 'To stand before Pharaoh' means the appearance of the Divine to those immersed in evils. 'Behold, he goes out to the water' means that they proceeded from those evils to contemplate further falsities. 'And you are to say to him, Thus says Jehovah' means a command. 'Send My people away and let them serve Me' means that they should leave those who belong to the spiritual Church, in order that these may worship their God in freedom. 'For if you do not send My people away' means should they fail to leave them ... 'Behold, I send onto you, and onto your servants, and onto your people, and into your houses, noxious flying insects' means that malevolent falsity will be present in every single aspect. 'And the houses of the Egyptians will be full of the noxious flying insects, and also the land on which they are' means that malevolent falsities will take possession of everything in the natural mind. 'And I will set apart on that day the land of Goshen, on which My people stand, so that the noxious flying insects are not there' means that they will not be able to use malevolent falsities to molest those who belong to the spiritual Church even though they are near them. 'To the end that you may know that I am Jehovah in the midst of the land' means the resulting discernment that the Lord is the only God of the Church. 'And I will place redemption between My people and your people' means the deliverance of those who belong to the spiritual Church from those in the hells nearby. 'And tomorrow will this sign be' means the manifestation of Divine power thereby for evermore. 'And Jehovah did so' means as it had been declared, so it was done. 'And extremely noxious flying insects came to the house of Pharaoh, and to the houses of his servants, and into all the land of Egypt' means that malevolent falsities burst out from every side among them. 'And the land was ruined by the presence of the noxious flying insects' means that [all] truth in the natural mind was corrupted.
