2 Mose 13

Studie

   

1 Und der HERR redete mit Mose und sprach:

2 Heilige mir alle Erstgeburt, die allerlei Mutter bricht, bei den Kindern Israel, beide unter den Menschen und dem Vieh; denn sie sind mein.

3 Da sprach Mose zum Volk: Gedenket an diesen Tag, an dem ihr aus Ägypten, aus dem Diensthause, gegangen seid, daß der HERR euch mit mächtiger Hand von hinnen hat ausgeführet; darum sollst du nicht Sauerteig essen.

4 Heute seid ihr ausgegangen, in dem Mond Abib.

5 Wenn dich nun der HERR bringen wird in das Land der Kanaaniter, Hethiter, Amoriter, Heviter und Jebusiter, das er deinen Vätern geschworen hat, dir zu geben, ein Land, da Milch und Honig innen fleußt, so sollst du diesen Dienst halten in diesem Mond.

6 Sieben Tage sollst du ungesäuert Brot essen, und am siebenten Tage ist des HERRN Fest.

7 Darum sollst du sieben Tage ungesäuert Brot essen, daß bei dir kein Sauerteig noch gesäuert Brot gesehen werde an allen deinen Orten.

8 Und sollt euren Söhnen sagen an dem selbigen Tage: Solches halten wir um deswillen, das uns der HERR getan hat, da wir aus Ägypten zogen.

9 Darum soll dir's sein ein Zeichen in deiner Hand und ein Denkmal vor deinen Augen, auf daß des HERRN Gesetz sei in deinem Munde, daß der HERR dich mit mächtiger Hand aus Ägypten geführet hat.

10 Darum halte diese Weise zu seiner Zeit jährlich.

11 Wenn dich nun der HERR ins Land der Kanaaniter gebracht hat, wie er dir und deinen Vätern geschworen hat, und dir's gegeben,

12 so sollst du aussondern dem HERRN alles, was die Mutter bricht, und die Erstgeburt unter dem Vieh, das ein Männlein ist.

13 Die Erstgeburt vom Esel sollst du lösen mit einem Schaf; wo du es aber nicht lösest, so brich ihm das Genick. Aber alle erste Menschengeburt unter deinen Kindern sollst du lösen.

14 Und wenn dich heute oder morgen dein Kind wird fragen: Was ist das? sollst du ihm sagen: Der HERR hat uns mit mächtiger Hand aus Ägypten, von dem Diensthause, geführet.

15 Denn da Pharao hart war, uns loszulassen, erschlug der HERR alle Erstgeburt in Ägyptenland, von der Menschen Erstgeburt an bis an die Erstgeburt des Viehes. Darum opfere ich dem HERRN alles, was die Mutter bricht, das ein Männlein ist, und die Erstgeburt meiner Kinder löse ich.

16 Und das soll dir ein Zeichen in deiner Hand sein und ein Denkmal vor deinen Augen, daß uns der HERR hat mit mächtiger Hand aus Ägypten geführet.

17 Da nun Pharao das Volk gelassen hatte, führete sie Gott nicht auf die Straße durch der Philister Land, die am nächsten war; denn Gott gedachte, es möchte das Volk gereuen, wenn sie den Streit sahen, und wieder nach Ägypten umkehren.

18 Darum führete er das Volk um auf die Straße durch die Wüste am Schilfmeer. Und die Kinder Israel zogen gerüstet aus Ägyptenland.

19 Und Mose nahm mit sich die Gebeine Josephs. Denn er hatte einen Eid von den Kindern Israel genommen und gesprochen: Gott wird euch heimsuchen; so führet meine Gebeine mit euch von hinnen.

20 Also zogen sie aus von Suchoth und lagerten sich in Etham, vorn an der Wüste.

21 Und der HERR zog vor ihnen her, des Tages in einer Wolkensäule, daß er sie den rechten Weg führete, und des Nachts in einer Feuersäule, daß er ihnen leuchtete, zu reisen Tag und Nacht.

22 Die Wolkensäule wich nimmer von dem Volk des Tages, noch die Feuersäule des Nachts.

Jehovah

  

The Lord, in the simplest terms, is love itself expressed as wisdom itself. In philosophic terms, love is the Lord's substance and wisdom is His form. Of course, we feel the Lord's love and hear His wisdom in many different ways, depending on our state in life and how receptive we are. That's why the Lord has so many different names in the Bible, and is referred to in so many different ways.

9315. 'When My angel goes before you' means a life in keeping with the Lord's commandments. This is clear from the meaning of 'going before you' - when it refers to the Lord, who is 'the angel of Jehovah' here - as teaching the commandments of faith and life, and therefore also a life in keeping with those commandments, ('going' and 'travelling on' mean living, see 1293, 3335, 4882, 5493, 5605, 8417, 8420, 8557, 8559); and from the meaning of 'the angel of Jehovah' as the Lord's Divine Human, dealt with above in 9303, 9306. The reason why the Lord's Divine Human is meant by 'the angel' is that the numerous angels who appeared in times before the Lord's Coming into the world were Jehovah Himself in human form, that is, in that of an angel. This is plainly evident from the fact that angels who appeared were called Jehovah, such as those who appeared to Abraham and are spoken of in Genesis 18. The fact that they were called Jehovah may be seen in verses 1, 13, 14, 17, 20, 26, 33, of that chapter, as was the one who appeared to Gideon and is spoken of in Judges 6. The fact that this angel too was called Jehovah may be seen in verses 12, 14, 16, 22-24, of that chapter. The same may be seen in other places besides these. Jehovah Himself in human form, or what amounts to the same thing, in that of an angel, was the Lord.

[2] His Divine Human appeared in those times as an angel, of whom the Lord Himself speaks in John,

Jesus said, Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and saw it and was glad. Truly, truly, I say to you, Before Abraham was, I am. John 8:56, 58.

And in the same gospel,

Father, glorify Me in Your Own Self with the glory I had with You before the world was. John 17:5.

Jehovah could not have appeared in any other way, as is again clear from the Lord's words, in John,

You have never heard the Father's voice nor seen His shape. John 5:37.

And in the same gospel,

No one has seen the Father except Him who is with God, 1 He has seen the Father. John 6:46.

From all this one may see what is meant by 'the Lord from eternity'.

[3] The reason why the Lord was pleased to be born as Man (Homo) was in order that He might in reality take on a Humanity and make it Divine, to save the human race. Know therefore that the Lord is Jehovah Himself or the Father in human form, as yet again the Lord Himself teaches in John,

I and the Father are one. John 10:30.

In the same gospel,

Jesus said, From now on you know and have seen the Father. He who has seen Me has seen the Father. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me. John 14:7, 9, 11.

And in the same gospel,

All Mine are Yours, and all Yours are Mine. John 17:10.

[4] This great mystery is described in John in the following words,

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the Only Begotten from the Father. Nobody has ever seen God; the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, He has made Him known. John 1:1-3, 14, 18.

'The Word' is Divine Truth which has been revealed to mankind; and since it could not have been revealed except by Jehovah as Man, that is, except by Jehovah in human form, thus by the Lord, it says, 'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God'. It is well known in the Church that 'the Word' is used to mean the Lord, for it is explicitly stated, 'The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the Only Begotten from the Father'. The fact that Divine Truth could not have been revealed to mankind except by Jehovah in human form is also clearly stated, 'Nobody has ever seen God; the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, He has made Him known'.

[5] From all this it is evident that the Lord from eternity was Jehovah or the Father in human form, but not yet so in earthly flesh, for an angel does not have such flesh. And since Jehovah or the Father wished to take on everything human in order to save the human race, He also took flesh. This is why it says, The Word was God, and the Word became flesh, and in Luke,

See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; handle Me and see; for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see Me have. Luke 24:39.

By this the Lord taught that He was no longer Jehovah under the form of an angel but that He was Jehovah as Man. This is also what the following words spoken by the Lord serve to mean,

I came out from the Father and have come into the world; again I am leaving the world and going off to the Father. John 16:28.

The Lord made His Human Divine when He was in the world, see 1616, 1725, 1813, 1921, 2025, 2026, 2033, 2034, 2083, 2523, 2751, 2798, 3038, 3043, 3212, 3241, 3318 (end), 3637, 3737, 4065, 4180, 4211, 4237, 4286, 4585, 4687, 4692, 4724, 4738, 4766, 5005, 5045, 5078, 5110, 5256, 6373, 6700, 6716, 6849, 6864, 6872, 7014, 7211, 7499, 8547, 8864, 8865, 8878.

And everything human received from the mother was cast out, till at length He was not Mary's son, 2159, 2649, 2776, 4963, 5157, and especially 3704, 4727, 9303, 9306, as well as the things shown regarding these matters in the places referred to in 9194, 9199.
