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.

8006. 'All the assembly of Israel shall keep it' means that this law of order is for all who are governed by the good of truth and guided by the truth of good. This is clear from the meaning of 'the assembly of Israel' as all truths and forms of good in their entirety, 7830, thus those who are guided by truth that leads to good, and governed by good through which truth comes, 7957, consequently those who belong to the spiritual Church. They were all required to keep the Passover in order that they might represent the deliverance of those belonging to the spiritual Church who were held back on the lower earth until the Lord's Coming, 6854, 6914, 7091 (end), 7849, 7932; and their eating it 'in one house' represented groups of angels living in association with one another in heaven, 7836, 7996, 7997, so that the keeping of it by the whole assembly of Israel represented the whole of heaven. At that time the Church did not exist anywhere, only a representative of the Church, for which Abraham's descendants through Jacob were selected. Through representatives of the Church contact with heaven was established, and through heaven with the Lord. This was why that nation was commanded to maintain a strict observance of all statutes and all laws, above all the statutes relating to the Passover, so strict that anyone who was clean and did not keep the Passover was to be cut off, Numbers 9:13.

Exodus 12

Studie

   

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,

2 "This month shall be to you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year to you.

3 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, 'On the tenth day of this month, they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers' houses, a lamb for a household;

4 and if the household is too little for a lamb, then he and his neighbor next to his house shall take one according to the number of the souls; according to what everyone can eat you shall make your count for the lamb.

5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old. You shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats:

6 and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at evening.

7 They shall take some of the blood, and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they shall eat it.

8 They shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted with fire, and unleavened bread. They shall eat it with bitter herbs.

9 Don't eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; with its head, its legs and its inner parts.

10 You shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.

11 This is how you shall eat it: with your belt on your waist, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is Yahweh's Passover.

12 For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and animal. Against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am Yahweh.

13 The blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be on you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.

14 This day shall be to you for a memorial, and you shall keep it a feast to Yahweh: throughout your generations you shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.

15 "'Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread; even the first day you shall put away yeast out of your houses, for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

16 In the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation; no kind of work shall be done in them, except that which every man must eat, that only may be done by you.

17 You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this same day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.

18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty first day of the month at evening.

19 Seven days shall there be no yeast found in your houses, for whoever eats that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a foreigner, or one who is born in the land.

20 You shall eat nothing leavened. In all your habitations you shall eat unleavened bread.'"

21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them, "Draw out, and take lambs according to your families, and kill the Passover.

22 You shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.

23 For Yahweh will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two doorposts, Yahweh will pass over the door, and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to strike you.

24 You shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to your sons forever.

25 It shall happen when you have come to the land which Yahweh will give you, according as he has promised, that you shall keep this service.

26 It will happen, when your children ask you, 'What do you mean by this service?'

27 that you shall say, 'It is the sacrifice of Yahweh's Passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians, and spared our houses.'" The people bowed their heads and worshiped.

28 The children of Israel went and did so; as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

29 It happened at midnight, that Yahweh struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of livestock.

30 Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not one dead.

31 He called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, "Rise up, get out from among my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve Yahweh, as you have said!

32 Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also!"

33 The Egyptians were urgent with the people, to send them out of the land in haste, for they said, "We are all dead men."

34 The people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes on their shoulders.

35 The children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing.

36 Yahweh gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. They despoiled the Egyptians.

37 The children of Israel traveled from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot who were men, besides children.

38 A mixed multitude went up also with them, with flocks, herds, and even very much livestock.

39 They baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt; for it wasn't leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt, and couldn't wait, neither had they prepared for themselves any food.

40 Now the time that the children of Israel lived in Egypt was four hundred thirty years.

41 It happened at the end of four hundred thirty years, even the same day it happened, that all the armies of Yahweh went out from the land of Egypt.

42 It is a night to be much observed to Yahweh for bringing them out from the land of Egypt. This is that night of Yahweh, to be much observed of all the children of Israel throughout their generations.

43 Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, "This is the ordinance of the Passover. No foreigner shall eat of it,

44 but every man's servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then shall he eat of it.

45 A foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat of it.

46 In one house shall it be eaten; you shall not carry forth anything of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall you break a bone of it.

47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.

48 When a stranger shall live as a foreigner with you, and will keep the Passover to Yahweh, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one who is born in the land: but no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.

49 One law shall be to him who is born at home, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you."

50 All the children of Israel did so. As Yahweh commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

51 It happened the same day, that Yahweh brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
