Exode 1

Studie

1 Or ce sont ici les noms des enfants d'Israël, qui entrèrent en Egypte, chacun desquels y entra avec Jacob, et leur famille.

2 Ruben, Siméon, Lévi, et Juda,

3 Issachar, Zabulon, et Benjamin,

4 Dan, et Nephtali, Gad, et Aser.

5 Toutes les personnes issues de la hanche de Jacob, étaient soixante et dix, avec Joseph [qui] était en Egypte.

6 Or Joseph mourut, et tous ses frères, et toute cette génération-là.

7 Et les enfants d'Israël foisonnèrent, et crûrent en très-grande abondance, et multiplièrent, et devinrent très-puissants, tellement que le pays en fut rempli.

8 Depuis il s'éleva un nouveau Roi sur l'Egypte, lequel n'avait point connu Joseph.

9 Et il dit à son peuple : voici, le peuple des enfants d'Israël est plus grand et plus puissant que nous.

10 Agissons donc prudemment avec lui, de peur qu'il ne se multiplie, et que s'il arrivait quelque guerre il ne se joignît à nos ennemis, et ne fît la guerre contre nous, et qu'il ne s'en allât du pays.

11 Ils établirent donc sur le peuple des Commissaires d'impôts pour l'affliger en le surchargeant; car le [peuple] bâtit des villes fortes à Pharaon, [savoir] Pithom et Rahamsès.

12 Mais plus ils l'affligeaient, et plus il multipliait, et croissait en toute abondance : c'est pourquoi ils haïssaient les enfants d'Israël.

13 Et les Egyptiens faisaient servir les enfants d'Israël avec rigueur :

14 Tellement qu'ils leur rendirent la vie amère par une rude servitude, [en les employant] à faire du mortier, des briques, et toute sorte d'ouvrage qui se fait aux champs; tout le service qu'on tirait d'eux [était] avec rigueur.

15 Le Roi d'Egypte commanda aussi aux sages-femmes Hébreues, dont l'une avait nom Siphra, et l'autre avait nom Puha;

16 Et leur dit : quand vous recevrez les enfants des femmes des Hébreux, et que vous les verrez sur les siéges, si c'est un fils, mettez-le à mort; mais si c'est une fille, qu'elle vive.

17 Mais les sages-femmes craignirent Dieu, et ne firent pas ainsi que le Roi d'Egypte leur avait dit; car elles laissèrent vivre les fils.

18 Alors le Roi d'Egypte appela les sages-femmes, et leur dit : pourquoi avez-vous fait cela, d'avoir laissé vivre les fils?

19 Et les sages-femmes répondirent à Pharaon : parce que les Hébreues ne sont point comme les femmes Egyptiennes; car elles sont vigoureuses, [et] elles ont accouché avant que la sage-femme soit arrivée chez elle.

20 Et Dieu fit du bien aux sages-femmes, et le peuple multiplia, et devint très puissant.

21 Et parce que les sages-femmes craignirent Dieu, il leur édifia des maisons.

22 Alors Pharaon commanda à tout son peuple, disant : jetez dans le fleuve tous les fils qui naîtront, mais laissez vivre toutes les filles.

Egyptians

  

Egyptians represent people who are in natural knowledge. In contrast, the Hebrews, people who are of the church, represent people in spiritual knowledge. The Egyptians also held the Hebrews to be so vile, as servants, that it was an abomination to them to eat with the Hebrews (Genesis 43:32), and also the sacrifices offered by the Hebrews were an abomination to them. (Exodus 8:26)

Exodus 26

Studie

   

1 "Moreover you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim. The work of the skillful workman you shall make them.

2 The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits: all the curtains shall have one measure.

3 Five curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and the other five curtains shall be coupled one to another.

4 You shall make loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the edge in the coupling; and likewise you shall make in the edge of the curtain that is outmost in the second coupling.

5 You shall make fifty loops in the one curtain, and you shall make fifty loops in the edge of the curtain that is in the second coupling. The loops shall be opposite one to another.

6 You shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains one to another with the clasps: and the tabernacle shall be a unit.

7 "You shall make curtains of goats' hair for a covering over the tabernacle. You shall make them eleven curtains.

8 The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits: the eleven curtains shall have one measure.

9 You shall couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shall double over the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tent.

10 You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain that is outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which is outmost in the second coupling.

11 You shall make fifty clasps of brass, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.

12 The overhanging part that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.

13 The cubit on the one side, and the cubit on the other side, of that which remains in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.

14 You shall make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of sea cow hides above.

15 "You shall make the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing up.

16 Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and one and a half cubits the breadth of each board.

17 There shall be two tenons in each board, joined to one another: thus you shall make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

18 You shall make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side southward.

19 You shall make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.

20 For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, twenty boards,

21 and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

22 For the far part of the tabernacle westward you shall make six boards.

23 You shall make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the far part.

24 They shall be double beneath, and in the same way they shall be whole to its top to one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.

25 There shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

26 "You shall make bars of acacia wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

27 and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle, for the far part westward.

28 The middle bar in the midst of the boards shall pass through from end to end.

29 You shall overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold for places for the bars: and you shall overlay the bars with gold.

30 You shall set up the tabernacle according to the way that it was shown to you on the mountain.

31 "You shall make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cherubim. The work of the skillful workman shall it be made.

32 You shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold; their hooks shall be of gold, on four sockets of silver.

33 You shall hang up the veil under the clasps, and shall bring the ark of the testimony in there within the veil: and the veil shall separate the holy place from the most holy for you.

34 You shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.

35 You shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and you shall put the table on the north side.

36 "You shall make a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer.

37 You shall make for the screen five pillars of acacia, and overlay them with gold: their hooks shall be of gold: and you shall cast five sockets of brass for them.
