Exodus 6

Studie

   

1 Verder sprak God tot Mozes, en zeide tot hem: Ik ben de HEERE,

2 En Ik ben aan Abraham, Izak, en Jakob verschenen, als God de Almachtige; doch met Mijn Naam HEERE ben Ik hun niet bekend geweest.

3 En ook heb Ik Mijn verbond met hen opgericht, dat Ik hun geven zou het land Kanaan, het land hunner vreemdelingschappen, waarin zij vreemdelingen geweest zijn.

4 En ook heb Ik gehoord het gekerm der kinderen Israels, die de Egyptenaars in dienstbaarheid houden, en Ik heb aan Mijn verbond gedacht.

5 Derhalve zeg tot de kinderen Israels: Ik ben de HEERE! en Ik zal ulieden uitleiden van onder de lasten der Egyptenaren, en Ik zal u redden uit hun dienstbaarheid, en zal u verlossen door een uitgestrekten arm, en door grote gerichten;

6 En Ik zal ulieden tot Mijn volk aannemen, en Ik zal ulieden tot een God zijn; en gijlieden zult bekennen, dat Ik de HEERE uw God ben, Die u uitleide van onder de lasten der Egyptenaren.

7 En Ik zal ulieden brengen in dat land, waarover Ik Mijn hand opgeheven heb, dat Ik het aan Abraham, Izak, en Jakob geven zou; en Ik zal het ulieden geven tot een erfdeel, Ik, de HEERE!

8 En Mozes sprak alzo tot de kinderen Israels; doch zij hoorden naar Mozes niet, vanwege de benauwdheid des geestes, en vanwege de harde dienstbaarheid.

9 Verder sprak de HEERE tot Mozes, zeggende:

10 Ga heen, spreek tot Farao, den koning van Egypte, dat hij de kinderen Israels uit zijn land trekken late.

11 Doch Mozes sprak voor den HEERE, zeggende: Zie, de kinderen Israels hebben naar mij niet gehoord; hoe zou mij dan Farao horen? daartoe ben ik onbesneden van lippen.

12 Evenwel sprak de HEERE tot Mozes en tot Aaron, en gaf hun bevel aan de kinderen Israels, en aan Farao, den koning van Egypte, om de kinderen Israels uit Egypteland te leiden.

13 Dit zijn de hoofden van ieder huis hunner vaderen: de zonen van Ruben, de eerstgeborene van Israel, zijn Hanoch en Pallu, Hezron en Charmi; dit zijn de huisgezinnen van Ruben.

14 En de zonen van Simeon: Jemuel, en Jamin, en Ohad, en Jachin, en Zohar, en Saul, de zoon ener Kanaanietische; dit zijn de huisgezinnen van Simeon.

15 Dit nu zijn de namen der zonen van Levi, naar hun geboorten: Gerson, en Kehath, en Merari. En de jaren des levens van Levi waren honderd zeven en dertig jaren.

16 De zonen van Gerson: Libni en Simei, naar hun huisgezinnen.

17 En de zonen van Kehath: Amram, en Jizhar, en Hebron, en Uzziel, en de jaren des levens van Kehath waren honderd drie en dertig jaren.

18 En de zonen van Merari: Machli en Musi; dit zijn de huisgezinnen van Levi, naar hun geboorten.

19 En Amram nam Jochebed, zijn moei, zich tot huisvrouw, en zij baarde hem Aaron en Mozes; en de jaren des levens van Amram waren honderd zeven en dertig jaren.

20 En de zonen van Jizhar: Korah, en Nefeg, en Zichri.

21 En de zonen van Uzziel: Misael, en Elzafan, en Sithri.

22 En Aaron nam zich tot een vrouw Eliseba, dochter van Amminadab, zuster van Nahesson; en zij baarde hem Nadab en Abihu, Eleazar en Ithamar.

23 En de zonen van Korah waren: Assir, en Elkana, en Abiasaf; dat zijn de huisgezinnen der Korachieten.

24 En Eleazar, de zoon van Aaron, nam voor zich een van de dochteren van Putiel tot een vrouw; en zij baarde hem Pinehas. Dit zijn de hoofden van de vaderen der Levieten, naar hun huisgezinnen.

25 Dit is Aaron en Mozes, tot welke de HEERE zeide: Leidt de kinderen Israels uit Egypteland, naar hun heiren.

26 Dezen zijn het, die tot Farao, den koning van Egypte, spraken, opdat zij de kinderen Israels uit Egypte leidden; dit is Mozes en Aaron.

27 En het geschiedde te dien dage, als de HEERE tot Mozes sprak in Egypteland;

28 Zo sprak de HEERE tot Mozes, zeggende: Ik ben de HEERE! spreek tot Farao, den koning van Egypte, alles, wat Ik tot u spreek.

29 Toen zeide Mozes voor het aangezicht des HEEREN: Zie, ik ben onbesneden van lippen; hoe zal dan Farao naar mij horen?

7192. 'And said to him, I am Jehovah' means confirmation from the Divine, which is unchangeable. This becomes clear without explanation, for there is none other than Himself through whom Jehovah, that is, the Lord, can confirm something. He cannot do so through heaven because it is a long way beneath Him; still less can He do so through anything in the world. Rather, if Divine confirmation, which is eternal and unchangeable, is to be provided, it must come from the Divine Himself. One often reads this kind of confirmation - I am Jehovah - in Moses, such as in Exodus 12:12; Leviticus 18:5-6; 19:12, 14, 18, 28, 30, 32, 37; 20:8; 21:12; 22:2-3, 8, 30-31, 33; 26:2, 45; Numbers 3:13, 41, 45. And in the Prophets one reads Jehovah said, 1 which is used in a similar way to mean confirmation from the Divine, as in Isaiah 3:15; 14:22-23; 17:6; 22:14, 25; 43:12; 52:5; Jeremiah 2:22; 3:1, 10, 13, 20; 8:12; 12:17; 13:25; 15:6, 20; 16:16; 23:7, 24, 29, 31; and many times elsewhere. Confirmation from the Divine is also provided through the Divine Human, thus also through the Lord Himself; in Isaiah, Jehovah has sworn by His right hand, and by His mighty arm. Isaiah 62:8.

Jeremiah 2

Studie

   

1 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

2 "Go, and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, 'Thus says Yahweh, "I remember for you the kindness of your youth, the love of your weddings; how you went after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.

3 Israel [was] holiness to Yahweh, the first fruits of his increase. All who devour him shall be held guilty. Evil shall come on them,"' says Yahweh."

4 Hear the word of Yahweh, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel!

5 Thus says Yahweh, "What unrighteousness have your fathers found in me, that they have gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?

6 Neither did they say, 'Where is Yahweh who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, who led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought and of the shadow of death, through a land that none passed through, and Where no man lived?'

7 I brought you into a plentiful land, to eat its fruit and its goodness; but when you entered, you defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination.

8 The priests didn't say, 'Where is Yahweh?' and those who handle the law didn't know me. The rulers also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.

9 "Therefore I will yet contend with you," says Yahweh, "and I will contend with your children's children.

10 For pass over to the islands of Kittim, and see; and send to Kedar, and consider diligently; and see if there has been such a thing.

11 Has a nation changed [its] gods, which really are no gods? But my people have changed their glory for that which does not profit.

12 "Be astonished, you heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid. Be very desolate," says Yahweh.

13 "For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the spring of living waters, and cut them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

14 Is Israel a servant? Is he a native-born [slave]? Why has he become a prey?

15 The young lions have roared at him, and yelled. They have made his land waste. His cities are burned up, without inhabitant.

16 The children also of Memphis and Tahpanhes have broken the crown of your head.

17 "Haven't you procured this to yourself, in that you have forsaken Yahweh your God, when he led you by the way?

18 Now what have you to do in the way to Egypt, to drink the waters of the Shihor? Or what have you to do in the way to Assyria, to drink the waters of the River?

19 "Your own wickedness shall correct you, and your backsliding shall reprove you. Know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and a bitter, that you have forsaken Yahweh your God, and that my fear is not in you," says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.

20 "For of old time I have broken your yoke, and burst your bonds; and you said, 'I will not serve;' for on every high hill and under every green tree you bowed yourself, playing the prostitute.

21 Yet I had planted you a noble vine, wholly a right seed. How then have you turned into the degenerate branches of a foreign vine to me?

22 For though you wash yourself with lye, and use much soap, yet your iniquity is marked before me," says the Lord Yahweh.

23 "How can you say, 'I am not defiled. I have not gone after the Baals'? See your way in the valley. Know what you have done. [You are] a swift dromedary traversing her ways;

24 a wild donkey used to the wilderness, that snuffs up the wind in her desire. When she is in heat, who can turn her away? All those who seek her will not weary themselves. In her month, they will find her.

25 "Withhold your foot from being unshod, and your throat from thirst. But you said, 'It is in vain. No, for I have loved strangers, and I will go after them.'

26 As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets;

27 who tell wood, 'You are my father;' and a stone, 'You have brought me out:' for they have turned their back to me, and not their face; but in the time of their trouble they will say, 'Arise, and save us.'

28 "But where are your gods that you have made for yourselves? Let them arise, if they can save you in the time of your trouble: for according to the number of your cities are your gods, Judah.

29 "Why will you contend with me? You all have transgressed against me," says Yahweh.

30 "I have struck your children in vain. They received no correction. Your own sword has devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.

31 Generation, consider the word of Yahweh. Have I been a wilderness to Israel? Or a land of thick darkness? Why do my people say, 'We have broken loose. We will come to you no more?'

32 "Can a virgin forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? Yet my people have forgotten me for days without number.

33 How well you prepare your way to seek love! Therefore you have taught even the wicked women your ways.

34 Also the blood of the souls of the innocent poor is found in your skirts. You did not find them breaking in; but it is because of all these things.

35 "Yet you said, 'I am innocent. Surely his anger has turned away from me.' "Behold, I will judge you, because you say, 'I have not sinned.'

36 Why do you go about so much to change your way? You will be ashamed of Egypt also, as you were ashamed of Assyria.

37 From there also you shall go forth, with your hands on your head; for Yahweh has rejected those in whom you trust, and you shall not prosper with them.
