Exodus 12

Studie

   

1 Derpå talede HE EN til Moses og Aron i Ægypten og sagde:

2 "Denne Måned skal hos eder være Begyndelsesmåneden, den skal hos eder være den første af Årets Måneder.

3 Tal til hele Israels Menighed og sig: På den tiende Dag i denne Måned skal hver Familiefader tage et Lam, et Lam for hver Familie.

4 Og dersom en Familie er for lille til et Lam, skal han sammen med sin nærmeste Nabo tage et Lam, svarende til Personernes Antal; hvor mange der skal være om et Lam, skal I beregne efter. hvad hver enkelt kan spise.

5 Det skal være et lydefrit, årgammelt Handyr, og I kan tage det enten blandt Fårene eller Gederne.

6 I skal have det gående til den fjortende Dag i denne Måned, og hele Israels Menigheds Forsamling skal slagte det ved Aftenstid.

7 Og de skal tage noget af Blodet og stryge det på de to Dørstolper og Overliggeren i de Huse, hvor I spiser det.

8 I skal spise Kødet samme Nat, stegt over Ilden, og I skal spise usyret Brød og bitre Urter dertil.

9 I må ikke spise noget deraf råt eller kogt i Vand, men kun stegt over Ilden, og Hoved, Ben og Indmad må ikke være skilt fra.

10 I må intet levne deraf til næste Morgen, men hvad der bliver tilovers deraf til næste Morgen, skal I brænde.

11 Og når I spiser det, skal I have Bælte om Lænden ,Sko på Fødderne og Stav i Hånden, og I skal spise det i største Hast. Det er Påske for HE EN.

12 I denne Nat vil jeg drage igennem Ægypten og ihjelslå alt det førstefødte i Ægypten både blandt Folk og Fæ; og over alle Ægyptens Guder vil jeg holde Dom. Jeg er HE EN!

13 Men for eder skal Blodet på Husene, hvor I er, tjene som Tegn, og jeg vil se Blodet og gå eder forbi; intet ødelæggende Slag skal ramme eder, når jeg slår Ægypten.

14 Denne Dag skal være eder en Mindedag, og I skal fejre den som en Højtid for HE EN, Slægt efter Slægt; som en evig gyldig Ordning skal I fejre den.

15 I syv Dage skal I spise usyret Brød. Straks den første Dag skal I skaffe al Surdejg bort af eders Huse; thi hver den, som spiser noget syret fra den første til den syvende Dag, det Menneske skal udryddes af Israel.

16 På den første dag skal I holde Højtidsstævne og ligeledes på den syvende dag. Intet Arbejde må udføres på dem; kun det, enhver behøver til Føde, det og intet andet må I tilberede.

17 I skal holde det usyrede Brøds Højtid, thi på denne selv samme Dag førte jeg eders Hærskarer ud af Ægypten, derfor skal I højtideligholde denne Dag i alle kommende Slægtled som en evig gyldig Ordning.

18 På den fjortende Dag i den første Måned om Aftenen skal I spise usyret Brød og vedblive dermed indtil Månedens en og tyvende Dag om Aftenen.

19 I syv Dage må der ikke findes Surdejg i eders Huse, thi hver den, som spiser noget syret, det Menneske skal udryddes af Israels Menighed, de fremmede så vel som de indfødte i Landet.

20 I må ikke nyde noget som helst syret; hvor I end bor, skal I spise usyret Brød."

21 Da kaldte Moses alle Israels Ældste sammen og sagde til dem: "Gå ud og hent eder Småkvæg til eders Familier og slagt Påskeofferet;

22 og tag eder Ysopkoste, dyp dem i Blodet i Fadet og stryg noget deraf på Overliggeren og de to Dørstolper; og ingen af eder må gå ud af sin Husdør før i Morgen.

23 Thi HE EN vil gå omkring og slå Ægypterne, og når han da ser Blodet på Overliggeren og de to Dørstolper, vil han gå Døren forbi og ikke give Ødelæggeren Adgang til eders Huse for at slå eder.

24 Dette skal I varetage som en Anordning, der gælder for dig og dine Børn til evig Tid.

25 Og når I kommer til det Land, HE EN vil give eder, således som han har forjættet, så skal I overholde denne Skik.

26 Når da eders Børn spørger eder: Hvad betyder den Skik, I der har?

27 så skal I svare: Det er Påskeoffer for HE EN, fordi han gik Israeliternes Huse forbi i Ægypten, dengang han slog Ægypterne, men lod vore Huse urørte!" Da bøjede Folket sig og tilbad.

28 Og Israeliterne gik hen og gjorde, som HE EN havde pålagt Moses og Aron.

29 Men ved Midnatstid ihjelslog HE EN alle de førstefødte i Ægypten lige fra Faraos førstefødte, der skulde arve hans Trone, til den førstefødte hos Fangen, der sad i Fangehullet, og alt det førstefødte af Kvæget.

30 Da stod Farao op om Natten tillige med alle sine Tjenere og alle Ægypterne, og der lød et højt Klageskrig i Ægypten, thi der var intet Hus, hvor der ikke fandtes en død.

31 Og han lod Moses og Aron kalde om Natten og sagde: "Bryd op og drag bort fra mit Folk, I selv og alle Israeliterne, og drag ud og dyrk HE EN, som I har forlangt.

32 Tag også eders Småkvæg og Hornkvæg med, som I har forlangt, og drag bort; og bed også om Velsignelse for mig!"

33 Og Ægypterne trængte på Folket for at påskynde deres Afrejse fra Landet, thi de sagde: "Vi mister alle Livet!"

34 Og , Folket tog deres Dejg med sig, før den var syret, og de bar Dejtrugene på Skulderen, indsvøbte i deres Kapper.

35 Men Israeliterne havde gjort, som Moses havde sagt, og bedt Ægypterne om Sølv og Guldsmykker og om Klæder;

36 og HE EN havde stemt Ægypterne gunstigt mod Folket, så de havde givet dem, hvad de bad om. Således tog de Bytte fra Ægypterne.

37 Så brød Israeliterne op fra ameses til Sukkot, henved 600.000 Mand til Fods foruden Kvinder og Børn.

38 Desuden fulgte en stor Hob sammenløbet Folk med og dertil Småkvæg og Hornkvæg, en vældig Mængde Kvæg.

39 Og af den Dejg, de havde bragt med fra Ægypten, bagte de usyret Brød; den var nemlig ikke syret, de var jo drevet ud af Ægypten uden at få Tid til noget; de havde ikke engang tilberedt sig Tæring til ejsen.

40 Den Tid, Israeliterne havde boet i Ægypten, udgjorde 430 År.

41 Netop på den Dag da de 430 År var til Ende, drog alle HE ENs Hærskarer ud af Ægypten.

42 En Vågenat var det for HE EN, i hvilken han vilde føre dem ud af Ægypten. Den Nat er viet HE EN, en Vågenat for alle Israeliterne, Slægt efter Slægt.

43 HE EN sagde til Moses og Aron: "Dette er Ordningen angående Påskelammet: Ingen fremmed må spise deraf.

44 Men enhver Træl, der er købt for Penge, må spise deraf, såfremt du har fået ham omskåret.

45 Ingen indvandret eller Daglejer må spise deraf.

46 Det skal spises i et og samme Hus, og intet af Kødet må bringes ud af Huset; I må ikke sønderbryde dets Ben.

47 Hele Israels Menighed skal fejre Påsken.

48 Dersom en fremmed bor som Gæst hos dig og vil fejre Påske for HE EN, da skal alle af Mandkøn hos ham omskæres; så må han være med til at fejre den, og han skal være ligestillet med den indfødte i Landet; men ingen uomskåren må spise deraf.

49 En og samme Lov skal gælde for den indfødte i Landet og for den fremmede, der bor som Gæst hos eder."

50 Og Israeliterne gjorde, som HE EN havde pålagt Moses og Aron.

51 På denne selv samme Dag førte HE EN Israeliterne ud af Ægypten, Hærskare for Hærskare.

2788. That 'on the third day' means that which has been completed, and the beginning of sanctification, is clear from the meaning of 'the third day'. 'Day' in the Word means state, 23, 487, 488, 493, 893, as also does 'year', and as in general do all periods of time - an hour, day, week, month, year, or age; also morning, midday, evening, and night; and spring, summer, autumn, and winter. And when 'the third' is added to any of these the end of that state, and at the same time the beginning of the next, are meant. Here, the subject being the sanctification of the Lord which was effected by means of temptations, 'the third day' means that which has been completed and at the same time the beginning of sanctification, as also follows from what has been said previously to this. The reason for this meaning is that when He had fulfilled everything the Lord was to rise again on the third day, for the things that were done by the Lord while He lived in the world, that is, the things that were yet to be done by Him, were embodied within the representatives of the Church as though they had already been done. This was as it is with the internal sense of the Word, for with God that which is yet to come to pass and that which already is are one and the same; indeed to Him the whole of eternity is here and now.

[2] This is why the number three was representative not only in the Ancient Church and in the Jewish but also among various gentile nations; see what has been stated about this number in 720, 901, 1825. That such was the origin of the meaning of 'three' is clear in Hosea,

We will return to Jehovah, for He has wounded and will heal us; He has stricken and will bind us up; He will revive us after two days, on the third day He will raise us up that we may live before Him. Hosea 6:1-2.

Here 'the third day' stands for the coming of the Lord and His resurrection. The same is clear from Jonah, in that he was in the stomach of the fish three days and three nights, Jonah 1:17, to which the Lord refers in Matthew as follows,

As Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Matthew 12:40.

[3] It should be realized that in the internal sense of the Word 'three days' and 'the third day' have the same meaning, as also do 'three' and 'third' in the following places: In John,

Jesus said to the Jews, Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up. He was speaking of the temple of His body. John 2:19-21; Matthew 26:61; Mark 14:58; 15:29.

It is a well known fact that the Lord rose again on the third day.

[4] For the same reason the Lord also distinguished three periods in His life: in Luke,

Go and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, but on the third day I reach completion. Luke 13:32.

Also, the Lord underwent the final temptation, which was that of the Cross, at the third hour of the day, Mark 15:25. Three hours later, that is, at the sixth hour, darkness fell over the whole land, 1 Luke 23:44. And three hours after that, at the ninth hour, the end came, Mark 15:33-34, 37. But in the morning of the third day He rose again, Mark 16:1-4; Luke 24:7. See also Matthew 16:21; 17:22-23; 20:18-19; Mark 8:31; 9:31; 10:33-34; Luke 18:33; 24:46. From all this, and especially from the Lord's resurrection on the third day, the number three was representative and possessed a spiritual meaning. This fact becomes clear from the following places in the Word:

When Jehovah came down upon Mount Sinai He told Moses that he was to sanctify the people today and tomorrow and they were to wash their garments and be ready on the third day, for on the third day Jehovah would come down. Exodus 19:10-11, 15-16.

When they travelled from the mountain of Jehovah on a three days' journey, the Ark of Jehovah travelled before them on the three days' journey to search out rest for them. Numbers 10:33.

There was thick darkness for three days in all the land of Egypt, and nobody could see his brother for three days, but the children of Israel had light. Exodus 10:22-23.

[5] The flesh of a sacrifice made as a vow-offering or as a freewill-offering was to be eaten on the first and the second day; nothing was to be kept until the third day but was to be burned, because it was an abomination. So too with the flesh of a sacrifice made as a 'eucharistic' offering; if this was eaten on the third day the one offering the sacrifice would not be accepted and that soul would bear his iniquity. Leviticus 7:16-18; 19:6-7.

Anyone who touched a dead body was to purify himself on the third day, and on the seventh day he would be clean. If he did not do so that soul would be cut off from Israel. And one that was clean was to sprinkle water over the unclean person on the third day and on the seventh day. Numbers 19:12-13, 19.

Those who had killed someone in battle and had touched one who had been slain were to purify themselves on the third day and on the seventh day. Numbers 31:19.

[6] When they came into the land of Canaan the fruit of a tree was to be uncircumcised for three years and not eaten. Leviticus 19:23.

At the end of three years they were to bring every tenth part of their produce in that year and deposit it within their gates so that the Levite, the sojourner, the orphan, and the widow might eat. Deuteronomy 14:28-29; 26:12.

Three times a year they were to keep a feast to Jehovah. And three times a year every male person was to appear before the face of the Lord Jehovah. Exodus 23:14, 17; Deuteronomy 16:16.

Joshua told the people that in three days they would be crossing the Jordan and inheriting the land. Joshua 1:11; 3:2.

Jehovah called to Samuel three times and the third time he answered Him. 1 Samuel 3:8.

[7] When Saul wished to kill David, David hid in the field until the third evening. Jonathan told David, I will sound out my father on the third day from now. Jonathan said that he would shoot three arrows to the side of the stone. And David fell face to the ground, before Jonathan and bowed down three times.12, 19, 20, 35, 36, 41.

David was to choose one of these three things - either seven years of famine in the land, or his own flight before his enemies for three months, or pestilence in the land for three days. 2 Samuel 24:12-13.

[8] There was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year. 2 Samuel 21:1.

Elijah stretched himself over the dead boy three times and revived him. 1 Kings 17:21.

When he had built the altar to Jehovah, Elijah told them to pour water over the burnt offering and over the wood three times. 1 Kings 18:34.

Fire consumed the captains of fifty sent on two occasions to Elijah, but not the one sent on the third occasion. 2 Kings 1:13-14.

It was a sign to King Hezekiah that they were to eat in that year what had grown of itself, and in the second year further growth from the same; but in the third year they were to sow, reap, plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of these. 2 Kings 19:29.

[9] Daniel went into his house and had the windows open in his [upper] chamber towards Jerusalem, where three times a day he gave thanks on his knees and prayed. Daniel 6:10, 13.

Daniel was mourning for three whole weeks, not eating pleasant bread, nor drinking wine, nor anointing himself, until the three whole weeks were completed. Daniel 10:2-3.

Isaiah went naked and barefoot three years as a sign and a portent against Egypt and against Cush. Isaiah 20:3.

Out of the Lampstand went three branches on either side, and three almond-shaped cups on each branch. Exodus 25:32-33.

In the Urim and Thummim there were three precious stones in each row. Exodus 28:17-20.

[10] In the New Temple there were to be three chambers on this side of the gate and three on that, and all three were to measure the same. And the breadth of the gate to the vestibule of the house was to be three cubits this way and three cubits that. Ezekiel 40:10, 21, 48.

In the New Jerusalem there were to be three gates to the north, three to the east, three to the south, and three to the west. Ezekiel 48:31-34; Revelation 21:13.

The same may be seen in the following places:

Peter denied Jesus three times. Matthew 26:34, 69 and following verses.

The Lord said to Peter three times, Do you love Me? John 21:17.

Also, in the parable about the man who planted a vineyard, he sent servants three times, and at length his own son. Luke 20:12; Mark 12:2, 4-6.

The labourers in the vineyard were hired at the third hour, the sixth hour, the ninth hour, and the eleventh hour. Matthew 20:1-17.

And concerning the fig tree which, because it bore no fruit for three years, was to be cut down. Luke 13:6-7.

[11] Just as a group of three and a third one were representative, so also was a third part, as in the following:

Minchahs consisted of two tenths of fine flour mixed with a third part of a hin of oil, and the wine for the drink-offering was a third of a hin. Numbers 15:6-7; Ezekiel 46:14.

In Ezekiel it is said that he was to run a razor over his head and over his beard, and then to divide his hair, burning a third part in the fire, striking a third around the city with his sword, and scattering a third to the wind. Ezekiel 5:1-2, 11.

In Zechariah it is said that in the whole land, two parts were to be cut off, and the third would be left. Yet this third would be led through fire and tested. Zechariah 13:8-9.

[12] In John it is said that when the first angel sounded there came hail, and fire mixed with blood; and it fell on to the earth so that a third part of the trees were burned. The second angel sounded and so to speak a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea. And a third part of the sea became blood resulting in the death of a third part of the creatures who had their being in the sea. And a third part of the ships was destroyed. The third angel sounded and there fell from the sky a great star burning like a torch and it fell upon a third part of the rivers. The name of the star is Wormwood. The fourth angel sounded and a third part of the sun was struck, and a third part of the moon, and a third part of the stars, so that a third part of these was blacked out, and the day had no light for a third part of it, nor likewise the night. Revelation 8:7-12.

[13] The four angels were released to kill a third part of mankind. Revelation 9:15.

A third part of mankind was killed by these three, fire, smoke, and brimstone, which went forth out of the mouths of the horses. Revelation 9:18.

The dragon drew with his tail a third part of the stars of heaven and cast them down to the earth. Revelation 12:4.

'A third part' however means something which is not yet finished, whereas 'a third' and 'a group of three' mean that which has been finished - evil in the case of the evil, good in the case of the good.
