1 Και ελαλησε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην, λεγων,

2 Καθιερωσον εις εμε παν πρωτοτοκον διανοιγον πασαν μητραν μεταξυ των υιων Ισραηλ, απο ανθρωπου εως κτηνους· ιδικον μου ειναι τουτο.

3 Και ειπεν ο Μωυσης προς τον λαον, Εχετε εις την μνημην σας την ημεραν ταυτην, καθ' ην εξηλθετε εξ Αιγυπτου εξ οικου δουλειας· διοτι ο Κυριος δια χειρος κραταιας εξηγαγεν υμας εκειθεν· ουδεις θελει φαγει ενζυμα.

4 Σημερον εξερχεσθε κατα τον μηνα Αβιβ.

5 Οταν λοιπον ο Κυριος σε φερη εις την γην των Χαναναιων και των Χετταιων και των Αμορραιων και των Ευαιων και των Ιεβουσαιων, την οποιαν ωμοσε προς τους πατερας σου οτι θελει σοι δωσει, γην ρεουσαν γαλα και μελι, τοτε θελεις καμει την λατρειαν ταυτην κατα τουτον τον μηνα.

6 Επτα ημερας θελεις τρωγει αζυμα· εις δε την εβδομην ημεραν θελει εισθαι εορτη εις τον Κυριον.

7 Αζυμα θελουσι τρωγεσθαι τας επτα ημερας· και δεν θελει φανη παρα σοι ενζυμον ουδε θελει φανη παρα σοι προζυμιον καθ' ολα τα ορια σου.

8 Και κατ' εκεινην την ημεραν θελεις αναγγειλει προς τον υιον σου, λεγων, Τουτο γινεται δι' εκεινο, το οποιον ο Κυριος εκαμεν εις εμε, οτε εξηλθον εξ Αιγυπτου.

9 Και τουτο θελει εισθαι εις σε δια σημειον επι της χειρος σου και δια ενθυμησιν μεταξυ των οφθαλμων σου, δια να ηναι ο νομος του Κυριου εν τω στοματι σου· διοτι δια χειρος κραταιας σε εξηγαγεν ο Κυριος εξ Αιγυπτου.

10 Θελεις φυλαττει λοιπον τον νομον τουτον εν τω καιρω αυτου κατ' ετος.

11 Και οταν ο Κυριος σε φερη εις την γην των Χαναναιων, καθως ωμοσε προς σε και προς τους πατερας σου, και δωση αυτην εις σε,

12 τοτε θελεις αποχωρισει δια τον Κυριον παν το ανοιγον μητραν και παν πρωτοτοκον των ζωων σου οσα εχεις· τα αρσενικα θελουσιν εισθαι του Κυριου.

13 Και παν πρωτοτοκον ονου θελεις εξαγοραζει με αρνιον· και αν δεν εξαγορασης αυτο, τοτε θελεις λαιμοτομησει αυτο· και παν πρωτοτοκον ανθρωπου μεταξυ των υιων σου θελεις εξαγοραζει.

14 Και οταν εις το μελλον σε ερωτηση ο υιος σου, λεγων, Τι ειναι τουτο; θελεις ειπει προς αυτον, Δια κραταιας χειρος εξηγαγεν ημας ο Κυριος εξ Αιγυπτου, εξ οικου δουλειας·

15 και οτε ο Φαραω επεμεινεν εις το να μη μας εξαποστειλη, ο Κυριος εθανατωσε παν πρωτοτοκον εν τη γη της Αιγυπτου, απο πρωτοτοκου ανθρωπου εως πρωτοτοκου κτηνους· δια τουτο θυσιαζω εις τον Κυριον παν αρσενικον το οποιον ανοιγει την μητραν, και παν πρωτοτοκον των υιων μου εξαγοραζω.

16 Και τουτο θελει εισθαι δια σημειον επι της χειρος σου και δια προμετωπιδιον μεταξυ των οφθαλμων σου· επειδη δια κραταιας χειρος εξηγαγεν ημας ο Κυριος εξ Αιγυπτου.

17 Οτε δε ο Φαραω εξαπεστειλε τον λαον, ο Θεος δεν ωδηγησεν αυτους δια της οδου της γης των Φιλισταιων, αν και ητο η συντομωτερα· διοτι ο Θεος ειπε, Μηποτε ο λαος ιδων πολεμον μεταμεληθη, και επιστρεψη εις Αιγυπτον.

18 Αλλ' ο Θεος περιεφερε τον λαον δια της οδου της ερημου προς την Ερυθραν θαλασσαν· και ανεβησαν οι υιοι Ισραηλ εκ της γης Αιγυπτου παρατεταγμενοι.

19 Και ελαβε μεθ' εαυτου ο Μωυσης τα οστα του Ιωσηφ· διοτι ειχεν ορκισει μεθ' ορκου τους υιους Ισραηλ, λεγων· Ο Θεος βεβαιως θελει σας επισκεφθη· και θελετε αναβιβασει τα οστα μου εντευθεν μεθ' υμων.

20 Και αναχωρησαντες απο Σοκχωθ, εστρατοπεδευσαν εν Εθαμ κατα τα ακρα της ερημου.

21 Ο δε Κυριος προεπορευετο αυτων, την ημεραν εν στυλω νεφελης, δια να οδηγη αυτους εν τη οδω, την δε νυκτα εν στυλω πυρος, δια να φεγγη εις αυτους· ωστε να οδοιπορωσιν ημεραν και νυκτα·

22 δεν απεμακρυνεν απο της οψεως του λαου τον στυλον της νεφελης την ημεραν, ουτε τον στυλον του πυρος την νυκτα.

Apocalypse Explained # 28

28. The first-born from the dead. That this signifies from whom is all good in heaven, is evident from the signification of first-born, when said of the Lord, as denoting the Divine good in heaven, thus all good there. The reason why this is signified by first-born, is, because by generations, in general and in particular, are signified spiritual generations, which are those of good and truth, or of love and faith. Therefore, by father, mother, sons, daughters, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law, and sons' sons, are signified the goods and truths which generate, and which are generated, in their order (Arcana Coelestia 10490). For in heaven there are no other nativities; and, this being the case, by first-born is not meant first-born, but the good of heaven and the church, because this is in the chief place. Now, because all good in heaven exists from the Lord, therefore He is called the First-born.

[2] The reason why He is called the first-born from the dead, is because, when He rose from the dead, He made His Human Divine Good by union with the Divine which was in Him from conception. This is why He is called the first-born from the dead; and why He says of Himself in David,

"I will make him the first-born, higher than the kings of the earth" (Psalm 89:27).

What is meant by His being higher than the kings of the earth, will be seen in the subsequent article. (That the Lord, when He departed out of the world, made His Human Divine Good, may be seen, Arcana Coelestia 3194, 3210, 6864, 7499, 8724, 9199, 10076, thus that He came forth from the Father and returned to the Father, n. 3194, 3210; and that after the union, the Divine truth, which is the Comforter, the Spirit of truth, goes forth from Him, n. 3704, 3712, 3969, 4577, 5704, 7499, 8127, 8241, 9199, 9398, 9407. But this mystery may be seen more fully explained in the small work, The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem 293-295; and in the passages from Arcana Coelestia there cited, n. 303-305.)

Since the Lord as to His Divine Human is called the first-born, because all good goes forth from Him, therefore all the first-born in the Israelitish church were holy to Jehovah; and therefore also the Levites were taken in the place of all the first-born in Israel. For by the sons of Levi were represented those of the church who are in the good of charity. On this account, also, a double portion of the inheritance fell to the first-born. All this, because the first-born signified good from the Lord, and, in the highest sense, the Lord Himself as to the Divine Human, from which all good comes; for all the things commanded in the Israelitish church were representative of spiritual and celestial Divine things.

[3] That all the first-born in the Israelitish church were holy to Jehovah is evident from Moses, in the following passages:

"Sanctify unto me all the first-born, whatsoever openeth the womb among the sons of Israel, in man and in beast; it is mine" (Exodus 13:2).

"Thou shalt cause to pass over unto Jehovah all that openeth the womb, and every firstling that cometh of a beast as many as thou hast, the males shall be Jehovah's" (13:12).

"Thou shalt not delay the first fruits of thy produce, and the first fruits of thy wine; the first-born of thy sons shalt thou give unto me. Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen and with thy sheep; seven days it shall be with its dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me. And ye shall be men of holiness unto me" (Exodus 22:29-31).

The reason why they were to give also the first-born of beasts, was, because these also were representative; on which account, also, they were made use of in burnt-offerings and sacrifices. (What the various beasts in these services represented, may be seen, Arcana Coelestia 1823, 3519, 9280, 10042.) The Levites were accepted in place of all the first-born in Israel (concerning which, see Numbers 3:12, 13, 41, 45; 8:15-19), because, as observed above, the sons of Levi represented, and thence signified, the good of charity, and Levi, in the highest sense, represented the Lord as to that good (as may be seen, n. 3875, 3877, 4497, 4502, 4503, 10017). The reason why a double portion of the inheritance fell to the first-born (Deuteronomy 21:17), was, because a double portion signified the good of love (n. 720, 1686, 5194, 8423).
