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.

28. The Firstborn from the dead, signifies from whom is all good in heaven. This is evident from the signification of the "firstborn," as being, in reference to the Lord, Divine good in heaven, thus all good there. The "firstborn" signifies this, because by generations, in general and in particular, spiritual generations are signified, which are the generations of good and truth or of love and faith; from this it is, that by "father," "mother," "sons," "daughters," "sons-in-law," "daughters-in-law," and "son's sons," are signified goods and truths which generate and are generated in their order (Arcana Coelestia 10490), for in heaven there are no other nativities. This being so, by "firstborn" is not meant the firstborn, but the good of heaven and of the church, because this is in the first place. And since it is the Lord from whom all good in heaven is, He is called the "Firstborn." He is called "the Firstborn from the dead," because, when He arose from the dead, He made His Human to be Divine good by union with the Divine that was in Him from conception.

[2] This is why He is called "the Firstborn from the dead," and says of Himself in David:

I will make Him the Firstborn, high above the kings of the earth (Psalms 89:27).

What is meant by His being "high above the kings of the earth" will be seen in a subsequent article.

(That the Lord, when He departed from the world, made His Human Divine good, see 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, proceeds from Him, n. 3704, 3712, 3969, 4577, 5704, 7499, 8127, 8241, 9199, 9398, 9407. But this arcanum may be seen more fully explained in the small work on The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem 293-295; and in the passages there cited from the Arcana Coelestia 303-305.)

As the Lord in respect to the Divine Human is called "the Firstborn," for the reason that all good proceeds from Him, so all the firstborn in the Israelitish church were holy to Jehovah; so also the Levites were received in place of all the firstborn in Israel; for by the sons of Levi were represented those of the church who are in the good of charity: therefore also a double portion of inheritance was allotted to the firstborn; all this for the reason that the firstborn signified the good that is from the Lord, and in the highest sense, the Lord Himself in respect to the Divine Human from which is all good. For all things that were commanded in the Israelitish church were representative of Divine things, spiritual and celestial.

[3] That all the firstborn in the Israelitish church were holy to Jehovah appears from Moses, in the following passages:

Sanctify unto Me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the sons of Israel, both of man and of 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 (Exodus 13:12).

Thou shalt not delay to offer the firstfruits of thy produce, and the firstfruits of thy wine. The firstborn 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).

They were to give also the firstborn of beasts, because these, too, were representative; and because they represented they were also made use of in burnt-offerings and sacrifices.

(What the various beasts in these services represented, see Arcana Coelestia 1823, 3519, 9280, 9980, 10042. Why the Levites were accepted in place of all the firstborn in Israel, see Numbers 3:12, 13, 41, 45; 8:15-20, was, as was said above, because the "sons of Levi" represented, and therefore signified, the good of charity, and "Levi," in the highest sense, signified the Lord as to that good, see Arcana Coelestia 3875, 3877, 4497, 4502, 4503, 10017. A double portion of the inheritance was given to the firstborn, Deuteronomy 21:17, because a "double portion" signified the good of love, Arcana Coelestia 720, 1686, 5194, 8423)
