Exode 11

Studie

   

1 L'Eternel dit à Moïse: Je ferai venir encore une plaie sur Pharaon et sur l'Egypte. Après cela, il vous laissera partir d'ici. Lorsqu'il vous laissera tout à fait aller, il vous chassera même d'ici.

2 Parle au peuple, pour que chacun demande à son voisin et chacune à sa voisine des vases d'argent et des vases d'or.

3 L'Eternel fit trouver grâce au peuple aux yeux des Egyptiens; Moïse lui-même était très considéré dans le pays d'Egypte, aux yeux des serviteurs de Pharaon et aux yeux du peuple.

4 Moïse dit: Ainsi parle l'Eternel: Vers le milieu de la nuit, je passerai au travers de l'Egypte;

5 et tous les premiers-nés mourront dans le pays d'Egypte, depuis le premier-né de Pharaon assis sur son trône, jusqu'au premier-né de la servante qui est derrière la meule, et jusqu'à tous les premiers-nés des animaux.

6 Il y aura dans tout le pays d'Egypte de grands cris, tels qu'il n'y en a point eu et qu'il n'y en aura plus de semblables.

7 Mais parmi tous les enfants d'Israël, depuis les hommes jusqu'aux animaux, pas même un chien ne remuera sa langue, afin que vous sachiez quelle différence l'Eternel fait entre l'Egypte et Israël.

8 Alors tous tes serviteurs que voici descendront vers moi et se prosterneront devant moi, en disant: Sors, toi et tout le peuple qui s'attache à tes pas! Après cela, je sortirai. Moïse sortit de chez Pharaon, dans une ardente colère.

9 L'Eternel dit à Moïse: Pharaon ne vous écoutera point, afin que mes miracles se multiplient dans le pays d'Egypte.

10 Moïse et Aaron firent tous ces miracles devant Pharaon, et Pharaon ne laissa point aller les enfants d'Israël hors de son pays. Exode

Exploring the Meaning of Exodus 11

Napsal(a) New Christian Bible Study Staff

Arcana Coelestia 7763. The subject treated of in this chapter in the internal sense is the damnation of faith separate from charity, which is signified by the firstborn of Egypt that were given up to death at midnight; and also the memory-knowledges of truth and good that were to be transferred to those who are of the spiritual church, which knowledges are signified by the vessels of silver and of gold that the sons of Israel were to ask from the Egyptians.

7763. Exodus 11

1. And Jehovah said to Moses, One more plague I will bring onto Pharaoh and onto Egypt; afterwards he will send you away from here. When he sends everything away he will surely drive you out from here.

2. Say now in the ears of the people, and let them ask, a man from his companion and a woman from her companion, vessels of silver and vessels of gold.

3. And Jehovah gave the people favour 1 in the eyes of the Egyptians. Also the man Moses was exceedingly great in the land of Egypt, in the eyes of Pharaoh's servants and in the eyes of the people.

4. And Moses said, Thus said Jehovah, About midnight I will go out into the midst of Egypt;

5. And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt will die, from Pharaoh's firstborn who is to sit on his throne, even to the firstborn of the servant-girl who is behind the mill, and all the firstborn of the beasts.

6. And there will be a great cry in the whole land of Egypt, the like of which has never been, and the like of which will not be again.

7. And against all the children of Israel not a dog will move its tongue, against man (vir) and even against beast, so that you may know that Jehovah makes a distinction between the Egyptians and Israel.

8. And all these your servants will come down to me, and bow down to me, saying, Go out, you, and all the people at your feet! 2 And after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in wrath and anger. 3

9. And Jehovah said to Moses, Pharaoh will not hear 4 you, so that My wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.

10. And Moses and Aaron performed all these wonders before Pharaoh; and Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart unyielding, and he did not send the children of Israel away from his land.
