Exodus 8

Studie

   

1 I mluvil Hospodin k Mojžíšovi: Vejdi k Faraonovi a rci jemu: Takto praví Hospodin: Propusť lid můj, ať mi slouží.

2 Pakli nebudeš chtíti propustiti, aj, já raním všecky krajiny tvé žabami.

3 A vydá řeka množství žab, kteréž vystoupí a polezou do domu tvého a do pokoje, v němž líháš, a na ložce tvé, a do domů služebníků tvých i lidu tvého, a do pecí tvých a do těsta tvého.

4 I na tebe a na lid tvůj, i na všecky služebníky tvé polezou žáby.

5 I řekl Hospodin Mojžíšovi: Rci Aronovi: Vztáhni ruku svou s holí svou na řeky, na potoky a na jezera, a vyveď žáby na zemi Egyptskou.

6 I vztáhl Aron ruku svou na vody Egyptské; a vystoupily žáby a přikryly zemi Egyptskou.

7 A učinili tolikéž čarodějníci skrze své čáry; a udělali, že vyšly žáby na zemi Egyptskou.

8 Tedy Farao povolav Mojžíše a Arona, řekl: Modlte se Hospodinu, ať odejme žáby ode mne a od lidu mého; a propustím ten lid, aby obětovali Hospodinu.

9 I řekl Mojžíš Faraonovi: Poctím tě tím, a pověz, kdy bych se měl modliti za tě a za služebníky tvé, a za lid tvůj, aby vypléněny byly žáby od tebe, i z domů tvých; toliko v řece zůstanou.

10 Kterýžto odpověděl: Zítra. A Mojžíš řekl: Podlé slova tvého nechť jest, abys věděl, že žádného takového není, jako Hospodin Bůh náš.

11 I odejdou žáby od tebe a od domů tvých, i od služebníků tvých a od lidu tvého; toliko v řece zůstanou.

12 Tedy vyšel Mojžíš s Aronem od Faraona. I volal Mojžíš k Hospodinu, aby odjaty byly žáby, kteréž byl dopustil na Faraona.

13 I učinil Hospodin podlé slova Mojžíšova; a vymřely žáby z domů, ze vsí i z polí.

14 I shrnuli je na hromady; a nasmradila se země.

15 Vida pak Farao, že by dáno bylo oddechnutí, více zatvrdil se v srdci svém, a neuposlechl jich, jakož byl mluvil Hospodin.

16 I řekl Hospodin Mojžíšovi: Rci k Aronovi: Vztáhni hůl svou, a udeř v prach země, aby obrátil se v stěnice na vší zemi Egyptské.

17 Kteříž učinili tak. Nebo vztáhl Aron ruku svou s holí svou, a udeřil prach země. I byly stěnice na lidech i hovadech; všecken prach země obrátil se v stěnice ve vší zemi Egyptské.

18 Dělali také tak čarodějníci skrze čáry své, aby vyvedli stěnice, ale nemohli. A byly stěnice na lidech i hovadech.

19 Tedy řekli čarodějníci Faraonovi: Prst Boží toto jest. A posililo se srdce Faraonovo, aniž poslechl jich, jakož mluvil Hospodin.

20 Řekl pak Hospodin Mojžíšovi: Vstaň ráno a stůj před Faraonem. Hle vyjde k vodě, a díš k němu: Takto praví Hospodin: Propusť lid můj, ať mi slouží.

21 Pakli nepropustíš lidu mého, hle, já pošli na tě a na služebníky tvé, a na lid tvůj, a na domy tvé směsici všelikých škodlivých žížal; a naplněni budou domové Egyptští těmi žížalami, nad to i země ta, na níž oni jsou.

22 A oddělím v ten den zemi Gesen, v níž lid můj zůstává, aby tam nebylo směsice té; abys věděl, že jsem já Hospodin u prostřed země.

23 A vysvobozením rozdíl učiním mezi lidem svým a lidem tvým. Zítra bude znamení toto.

24 I učinil Hospodin tak. Nebo přišla těžká směsice škodlivých žížal na dům Faraonův,a do domů služebníků jeho i na všecku zemi Egyptskou; a nakazila se země od té směsice.

25 Povolal pak Farao Mojžíše a Arona, a řekl: Jděte, obětujte Bohu svému tu v zemi.

26 I řekl Mojžíš: Nenáleží nám tak činiti; nebo ohavnost Egyptských obětovali bychom Hospodinu Bohu našemu. A jestliže bychom obětovali to, což jest ohavnost před očima Egyptských, zdaž by nás neukamenovali?

27 Cestou tří dnů půjdeme na poušť, a obětovati budeme Hospodinu Bohu našemu, jakž nám rozkázal.

28 I řekl Farao: Já propustím vás, abyste obětovali Hospodinu Bohu svému na poušti, však dále abyste nikoli neodcházeli. Modltež se za mne.

29 Odpověděl Mojžíš: Aj, já vycházím od tebe, a modliti se budu Hospodinu, aby odešla ta směsice od tebe, od služebníků tvých i od lidu tvého zítra; avšak ať Farao více nezklamává, nepropouštěje lidu, aby obětovali Hospodinu.

30 A vyšed Mojžíš od Faraona, modlil se Hospodinu.

31 I učinil Hospodin podlé slova Mojžíšova, a odjal tu směsici od Faraona, od služebníků jeho i od lidu jeho, tak že ani jedné žížaly nezůstalo.

32 Ale Farao ztížil srdce své také i tehdáž, a nepropustil lidu.

7378. Exodus 8 1

1. And Jehovah said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch out your hand with your rod over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to rise up onto the land of Egypt.

2. And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and frogs rose up and covered the land of Egypt.

3. And the magicians of Egypt did the same with their enchantments, and they caused frogs to rise up onto the land of Egypt.

4. And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said, Plead with Jehovah to remove the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will send the people away to sacrifice to Jehovah.

5. And Moses said to Pharaoh, Have honour over me. Till when shall I plead for you, and for your servants, and for your people, so as the frogs will be eliminated from you, and from your houses, and survive only in the river?

6. And he said, Until tomorrow. And he said, Let it be according to your word, so that you may know that there is none like Jehovah our God.

7. And the frogs will be removed from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people, and survive only in the river.

8. And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses cried out to Jehovah about 2 the frogs which He had brought on Pharaoh.

9. And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courtyards, and out of the fields.

10. And they gathered them into heaps [upon] heaps; and the land stank.

11. And Pharaoh saw that he could breathe again, 3 and he made his heart stubborn, and did not hear 4 them, as Jehovah had spoken.

12. And Jehovah said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch out your rod and strike the dust of the land, and it will then be lice in all the land of Egypt.

13. And they did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod and struck the dust of the land, and there were lice on man and on beast. All the dust of the land became lice in the whole land of Egypt.

14. And the magicians did the same with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not; and there were lice on man and on beast.

15. And the magicians said to Pharaoh, The finger of God is this. And Pharaoh's heart was unyielding, and he did not hear 4 them, as Jehovah had spoken.

16. 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.

17. 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.

18. 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.

19. And I will place redemption between My people and your people; by tomorrow will this sign be.

20. 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.

21. And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said, Go, sacrifice to your God in the land.

22. And Moses said, It is ill-advised to do so, for we would be sacrificing the abomination of the Egyptians to Jehovah our God. Behold, should we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, will they not stone us?

23. We will go a way of three days 5 into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Jehovah our God, as He has said to us.

24. And Pharaoh said, I will send you away to sacrifice to Jehovah your God in the wilderness; only you must certainly not go far away. Plead for me.

25. And Moses said, Behold, I go out from you, and I will plead with Jehovah to remove the noxious flying insects from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow; only do not let Pharaoh act deceitfully again in not sending the people away to sacrifice to Jehovah.

26. And Moses went out from Pharaoh and pleaded with Jehovah.

27. And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and He removed the noxious flying insects from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. Not one was left.

28. And Pharaoh made his heart stubborn this time also, and did not send the people away.

CONTENTS

This chapter continues to deal in the internal sense with the vastation of those steeped in falsities who molest the upright in the next life. The first two stages of vastation were described in the previous chapter, and also the third stage partly, a stage in which they did nothing else than use reasonings arising from utter falsities - reasonings arising from utter falsities being meant by the frogs. This chapter continues to deal with these, and then goes on to deal with the fourth and fifth stages of the vastation of those steeped in falsities who molest the upright in the next life. The fourth stage was when they were subjected to evils which ruined all good present with them, including whatever natural good they had - these evils being meant by the lice produced from the dust of the land. The fifth stage was when they were subjected to the falsities arising from those evils, which ruined all truth - these falsities being meant by the noxious flying insects.
