Eliro 5

Studie

   

1 Poste venis Moseo kaj Aaron, kaj diris al Faraono:Tiel diris la Eternulo, la Dio de Izrael:Permesu, ke Mia popolo iru kaj faru al Mi feston en la dezerto.

2 Sed Faraono diris:Kiu estas la Eternulo, kies vocxon mi devas obei kaj lasi Izraelon iri? mi ne konas la Eternulon, kaj al Izrael mi ne permesos iri.

3 Kaj ili diris:La Dio de la Hebreoj vokis nin; permesu, ke ni iru vojon de tri tagoj en la dezerton kaj ni alportu oferon al la Eternulo, nia Dio, por ke Li ne frapu nin per pesto aux glavo.

4 Sed la regxo de Egiptujo diris al ili:Kial vi, Moseo kaj Aaron, fortiras la popolon de gxiaj laboroj? iru al viaj laboroj.

5 Kaj Faraono diris:Jen multenombra estas nun la popolo de la lando, kaj vi volas liberigi ilin de iliaj laboroj!

6 Kaj Faraono ordonis en tiu tago al la voktoj de la popolo kaj al gxiaj kontrolistoj, dirante:

7 Ne donu plu pajlon al la popolo por la farado de la brikoj, kiel gxis nun; ili mem iru kaj kolektu al si pajlon.

8 Sed la nombron de la brikoj, kiun ili pretigas gxis nun, postulu de ili, ne malgrandigu gxin; cxar ili vagas senlabore, tial ili krias:Ni iru kaj alportu oferon al nia Dio.

9 Oni devas premi tiujn homojn per la laboro, por ke ili estu okupitaj de gxi kaj ne atentu mensogajn vortojn.

10 Tiam eliris la voktoj de la popolo kaj gxiaj kontrolistoj, kaj diris al la popolo:Tiel diras Faraono:Mi ne donos al vi pajlon;

11 iru mem, prenu al vi pajlon, kie vi trovos; sed el via laboro nenio estos deprenata.

12 Tiam la popolo disigxis en la tuta lando Egipta, por kolekti pecojn da pajlo.

13 Kaj la voktoj insistadis, dirante:Pretigu vian cxiutagan laboron, kiel tiam, kiam vi havis pajlon.

14 Kaj la kontrolistojn Izraelidojn, starigitajn super ili de la voktoj de Faraono, oni batadis, dirante:Kial vi ne pretigis vian ordonitan nombron da brikoj hieraux kaj hodiaux, kiel gxis nun?

15 La kontrolistoj Izraelidoj venis kaj kriis al Faraono, dirante:Kial vi agas tiel kun viaj sklavoj?

16 Pajlo ne estas donata al viaj sklavoj, kaj brikojn oni ordonas al ni fari; kaj nun viaj sklavoj estas batataj, kaj via popolo pekas.

17 Sed li diris:Mallaboruloj vi estas, mallaboruloj, tial vi diras:Ni iru, Ni alportu oferon al la Eternulo.

18 Kaj nun iru, laboru, kaj pajlon oni ne donos al vi, kaj la difinitan nombron da brikoj liveru.

19 Kaj la kontrolistoj Izraelidoj vidis, ke estas al ili malbone, cxar estas dirite:Ne malgrandigu la cxiutagan nombron de viaj brikoj.

20 Ili renkontis Moseon kaj Aaronon, kiuj staris antaux ili, kiam ili eliris de Faraono.

21 Kaj ili diris al tiuj:La Eternulo rigardu vin, kaj jugxu vin por tio, ke vi malbonodorigis nian odoron antaux Faraono kaj antaux liaj servantoj, kaj donis glavon en iliajn manojn, por mortigi nin.

22 Tiam Moseo turnis sin al la Eternulo, kaj diris:Mia Sinjoro! kial Vi faris malbonon al tiu popolo? kial Vi sendis min?

23 De tiu tempo, kiam mi venis al Faraono, por paroli en Via nomo, li farigxis pli malbona kontraux tiu popolo, kaj Vi ne savis Vian popolon.

7091. Thus said Jehovah the God of Israel. That this signifies from the Divine Human of the Lord, namely, exhortation to those who are against the truths of the church, is evident from the fact that by “Jehovah the God of Israel” is meant the Lord as to the Divine Human. (That in the Word the Lord is “Jehovah,” see n. 1343, 1736, 2921, 3023, 3035, 5041, 5663, 6281, 6303, 6905.) He is called “the God of Israel,” because by “Israel” is signified the Lord’s spiritual kingdom (n. 6426, 6637), and because the Lord by His coming into the world saved those who were of that kingdom or church (n. 6854, 6914, 7035). The reason why “the God of Israel” is the Lord as to the Divine Human, is that they who are of that church have natural ideas about everything spiritual and heavenly, and also about the Divine; and therefore unless they thought of the Divine as of a natural man, they could not be conjoined with the Divine by anything of affection; for if they thought of the Divine not as of a natural man, they would either have no ideas, or extravagant ones, about the Divine, and would thereby defile the Divine.

Hence it is that by “the God of Israel” is meant the Lord as to the Divine Human, and indeed as to the Divine natural. (That by “Israel” and “Jacob” in the supreme sense is meant the Lord as to the Divine natural; by “Israel,” as to the internal Divine natural; and by “Jacob,” as to the external Divine natural, see n. 4570; also that they who are of the spiritual church were and are saved by the Divine Human of the Lord, n. 2833, 2834; and also that the man of the spiritual church, who is “Israel,” is interior natural, n. 4286, 4402.)

[2] From all this then it is evident why the Lord in the Word is called “Jehovah the God of Israel,” and “Jehovah the HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL.” Everyone can know that the Divine must be so named in agreement with something holy not apparent in the sense of the letter. That the Lord as to the Divine natural is meant by “the God of Israel” is plain from many passages in the Word; manifestly from the following:

That Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy elders of Israel saw the God of Israel, under whose feet was as it were a work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the substance of heaven for cleanness (Exodus 24:9-10).

[3] That it was the Lord and not Jehovah who is called the “Father” is evident from the Lord’s words in John:

No one hath ever seen God (John 1:18). Ye have neither ever heard His voice, nor seen His shape (John 5:37).

In Isaiah:

I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I am Jehovah, who have called thee by thy name, the God of Israel (Isaiah 45:3).

In Ezekiel:

Over the head of the cherubs was as it were the appearance of a sapphire stone, the likeness of a throne; and over the likeness of a throne a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it above; and he had the appearance of fire and a rainbow, and of brightness round about (Ezekiel 1:26-28).

These are called “the glory of Jehovah,” and “of the God of Israel,” in the same (Ezekiel 1:28; 8:4; 9:3; 10:19-20), and also where the new temple is described (Ezekiel 43:2; 44:2); as also in many other passages (Isaiah 17:6; 21:10, 17; 24:15; 41:17; Psalms 41:13; 59:5; 68:8, 35; 6 9:6; 72:18, and elsewhere). So also He is called “the HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL” (Isaiah 1:4; 5:19; 10:20; 17:7; 30:1, 12, 15; 49:7; 60:9, 14; Ezekiel 39:7).

[4] That the “God of Israel” and the “HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL” are the Lord as to the Divine Human is also evident from the fact that He is called the “REDEEMER,” the “SAVIOR,” the “MAKER”—the Redeemer, in Isaiah:

Our Redeemer, Jehovah Zebaoth; His name the HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL (Isaiah 47:4; also Isaiah 41:14; 43:14 48:17; 54:5); also the SAVIOR (Isaiah 43:3); and the MAKER (Isaiah 45:11).

From all this it is also evident that by “Jehovah” in the Word of the Old Testament, no other is meant than the Lord, for He is called JEHOVAH GOD and the HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, the REDEEMER, the SAVIOR, the MAKER—“Jehovah the Redeemer and Savior” in Isaiah:

That all flesh may know that I Jehovah am thy Savior, and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob (Isaiah 49:26).

That thou mayest know that I Jehovah am thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob (Isaiah 60:16; as also (Isaiah 43:14) Isaiah 43:1 (Isaiah 44:6)44:24; (Isaiah 54:8) (Isaiah 63:16) 44:6, 24; 54:8; 63:16; Psalms 19:14).

[5] That the Lord saved Israel, that is, those who are of the spiritual church, is said in Isaiah:

I will make mention of the mercies of Jehovah, the praises of Jehovah, according to all that Jehovah hath recompensed to us; abundant in goodness to the house of Israel. He said, Surely they are My people; sons who do not lie; and therefore He became their Savior; in all their distress He had distress; and the angel of His faces liberated them; because of His love, and His indulgence, He redeemed them; and He took them up, and carried them all the days of eternity (Isaiah 63:7-9).
