1 Απεκριθη δε ο Μωυσης και ειπε, Αλλ' ιδου, δεν θελουσι πιστευσει εις εμε ουδε θελουσιν εισακουσει εις την φωνην μου· διοτι θελουσιν ειπει, δεν εφανη εις σε ο Κυριος.

2 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Κυριος, Τι ειναι τουτο, το εν τη χειρι σου; Ο δε ειπε, Ραβδος.

3 Και ειπε, Ριψον αυτην κατα γης. Και ερριψεν αυτην κατα γης και εγεινεν οφις· και εφυγεν ο Μωυσης απ' εμπροσθεν αυτου.

4 Και ειπε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην, Εκτεινον την χειρα σου και πιασον αυτον απο της ουρας· και εκτεινας την χειρα αυτου επιασεν αυτον και εγεινε ραβδος εν τη χειρι αυτου·

5 δια να πιστευσωσιν οτι εφανη εις σε Κυριος ο Θεος των πατερων αυτων, ο Θεος του Αβρααμ, ο Θεος του Ισαακ και ο Θεος του Ιακωβ.

6 Και ειπεν ετι προς αυτον ο Κυριος, Βαλε τωρα την χειρα σου εις τον κολπον σου. Και εβαλε την χειρα αυτου εις τον κολπον αυτου· και οτε εξηγαγεν αυτην, ιδου, η χειρ αυτου λεπρα ως χιων.

7 Και ειπε, Βαλε παλιν την χειρα σου εις τον κολπον σου. Και εβαλε την χειρα αυτου εις τον κολπον αυτου· και οτε εξηγαγεν αυτην εκ του κολπου αυτου, ιδου, αποκατεσταθη καθως η σαρξ αυτου.

8 Εαν δε, ειπεν ο Κυριος, δεν πιστευσωσιν εις σε μηδε εισακουσωσιν εις την φωνην του σημειου του πρωτου, θελουσι πιστευσει εις την φωνην του σημειου του δευτερου·

9 εαν δε δεν πιστευσωσι και εις τα δυο ταυτα σημεια μηδε εισακουσωσιν εις την φωνην σου, θελεις λαβει εκ του υδατος του ποταμου και θελεις χυσει αυτο επι της ξηρας· και το υδωρ, το οποιον ηθελες λαβει εκ του ποταμου, θελει γεινει αιμα επι της ξηρας.

10 Και ειπεν ο Μωυσης προς τον Κυριον, Δεομαι, Κυριε· εγω δεν ειμαι ευλαλος ουτε απο χθες ουτε απο προχθες ουτε αφ' ης ωρας ελαλησας προς τον δουλον σου· αλλ' ειμαι βραδυστομος και βραδυγλωσσος.

11 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Κυριος, Τις εδωκε στομα εις τον ανθρωπον; η τις εκαμε τον ευλαλον, η τον κωφον η τον βλεποντα τον τυφλον; ουχι εγω ο Κυριος;

12 υπαγε λοιπον τωρα και εγω θελω εισθαι μετα του στοματος σου και θελω σε διδαξει ο, τι μελλεις να λαλησης.

13 Ο δε ειπε, Δεομαι, Κυριε, αποστειλον οντινα εχεις να αποστειλης.

14 Και εξηφθη ο θυμος του Κυριου κατα του Μωυσεως· και ειπε, Δεν ειναι Ααρων ο αδελφος σου ο Λευιτης; εξευρω οτι αυτος δυναται να λαλη καλως· και μαλιστα, ιδου, εξερχεται εις συναντησιν σου και οταν σε ιδη, θελει χαρη εν τη καρδια αυτου·

15 συ λοιπον θελεις λαλει προς αυτον και θελεις βαλλει τους λογους εις το στομα αυτου· εγω δε θελω εισθαι μετα του στοματος σου και μετα του στοματος εκεινου και θελω σας διδαξει ο, τι πρεπει να πραξητε·

16 και αυτος θελει λαλει αντι σου προς τον λαον· και αυτος θελει εισθαι εις σε αντι στοματος, συ δε θελεις εισθαι εις αυτον αντι Θεου·

17 λαβε δε εις την χειρα σου την ραβδον ταυτην, με την οποιαν θελεις καμνει τα σημεια.

18 Και ανεχωρησεν ο Μωυσης και επεστρεψε προς τον Ιοθορ τον πενθερον αυτου και ειπε προς αυτον, Ας υπαγω, παρακαλω, και ας επιστρεψω προς τους αδελφους μου, τους εν Αιγυπτω, και ας ιδω αν ζωσιν ετι. Και ειπεν ο Ιοθορ προς τον Μωυσην, Υπαγε εν ειρηνη.

19 Ο δε Κυριος ειπε προς τον Μωυσην εν Μαδιαμ, Υπαγε, επιστρεψον εις Αιγυπτον· διοτι απεθανον παντες οι ανθρωποι οι ζητουντες την ψυχην σου.

20 Τοτε παραλαβων ο Μωυσης την γυναικα αυτου και τα τεκνα αυτου και καθισας αυτα επι ονους επεστρεψεν εις την γην της Αιγυπτου· ελαβε δε ο Μωυσης την ραβδον του Θεου εν τη χειρι αυτου.

21 Και ειπε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην, Οταν υπαγης και επιστρεψης εις Αιγυπτον, ιδε να καμης εμπροσθεν του Φαραω παντα τα θαυμασια, τα οποια εδωκα εις την χειρα σου· πλην εγω θελω σκληρυνει την καρδιαν αυτου, και δεν θελει εξαποστειλει τον λαον·

22 και θελεις ειπει προς τον Φαραω, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος· Υιος μου ειναι, πρωτοτοκος μου, ο Ισραηλ·

23 και προς σε λεγω, Εξαποστειλον τον υιον μου, δια να με λατρευση· και εαν δεν θελης να εξαποστειλης αυτον, ιδου, εγω θελω θανατωσει τον υιον σου, τον πρωτοτοκον σου.

24 Ενω δε ο Μωυσης ητο εν τη οδω, εν τω καταλυματι, συνηντησεν αυτον ο Κυριος και εζητει να θανατωση αυτον.

25 Και λαβουσα η Σεπφωρα λιθαριον κοπτερον, περιετεμε την ακροβυστιαν του υιου αυτης, και ερριψεν εις τους ποδας αυτου, λεγουσα, Βεβαιως νυμφιος αιματων εισαι εις εμε.

26 Και απηλθεν απ' αυτου· η δε ειπε, Νυμφιος αιματων εισαι ενεκα της περιτομης.

27 Ειπε δε Κυριος προς τον Ααρων, Υπαγε προς συναντησιν του Μωυσεως εις την ερημον. Και υπηγε και συνηντησεν αυτον εν τω ορει του Θεου και ησπασθη αυτον.

28 Και απηγγειλεν ο Μωυσης προς τον Ααρων παντας τους λογους του Κυριου, τους οποιους παρηγγειλεν εις αυτον, και παντα τα σημεια, τα οποια προσεταξεν εις αυτον.

29 Υπηγαν λοιπον ο Μωυσης και ο Ααρων και συνηγαγον παντας τους πρεσβυτερους των υιων Ισραηλ·

30 και ελαλησεν ο Ααρων παντας τους λογους, τους οποιους ο Κυριος ελαλησε προς τον Μωυσην, και εκαμε τα σημεια ενωπιον του λαου.

31 Και επιστευσεν ο λαος· και οτε ηκουσεν οτι ο Κυριος επεσκεφθη τους υιους Ισραηλ και οτι επεβλεψεν επι την ταλαιπωριαν αυτων, κυψαντες προσεκυνησαν.

Exploring the Meaning of Exodus 4

Napsal(a) New Christian Bible Study Staff

Arcana Coelestia 6939. There is a continuation in this chapter in the internal sense with respect to the liberation of those who are of the spiritual church. First, their state is described, namely, that if they had not hope and faith, falsities and evils, and also things profane would drag them down: these are the things signified by the three signs.

Arcana Coelestia 6940. Afterward the law Divine is treated of, that truth was adjoined to its good; and that thus good had the power to liberate, and to insinuate hope and faith. Moses represents the law Divine as to good, and Aaron as to truth.

Arcana Coelestia 6941. Lastly that people is treated of, in that they only represented the spiritual church; and not that this church could be instituted among them, because they were in externals without internals. This is signified by Zipporah's circumcision of her son, and by the blood wherewith his feet were stained.

4281. 'The hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint as he wrestled with him' means that in the descendants of Jacob that conjunction had been thoroughly damaged and the two loves pulled apart. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'wrestling' in this sense as being pulled apart and so suffering damage. It is evident from what has been stated above in 4280 that 'the hollow of the thigh' means a joining together; and that 'Jacob' in the Word means not only Jacob but also all his descendants is clear from very many places, such as Numbers 23:7, 10, 21, 23; 24:5, 17, 19; Deuteronomy 33:10; Isaiah 40:27; 43:1, 22; 44:1-2, 21; 48:12; 59:20; Jeremiah 10:16, 25; 30:7, 10, 18; 31:7, 11; 46:27-28; Hosea 10:11; Amos 7:2; Micah 2:12; 3:8; Psalms 14:7; 24:6; 59:13; 78:5; 99:4; and in other places.

[2] Jacob and his descendants were by nature such that with them celestial and spiritual love could not be joined to natural good, that is, the internal or spiritual man could not be joined to the external or natural man. This is evident from the details told in the Word concerning that nation. For they neither knew nor wished to know what the internal or spiritual man was, and therefore that matter was not revealed to them. In fact it was their belief that nothing existed with man apart from the external and natural. Nor in all their worship did they have anything else in mind, so that Divine worship with them was wholly idolatrous; for once internal worship is separated from external, it is nothing but idolatrous. The Church which was established among them was not in fact a Church but only a representative of the Church, for which reason that Church is called a representative Church. For it was possible for a representative of the Church to exist among such people, see 1361, 3670, 4208.

[3] Indeed in representations no attention is paid to the person who represents, only to the thing represented by him. Consequently not only persons represented Divine, celestial, or spiritual things, but also inanimate objects, such as Aaron's garments, the ark, the altar, the oxen and sheep which used to be sacrificed, the lampstand with its lamps, the bread of the presence on the table of gold, the oil with which they were anointed, the frankincense, and other objects like these. This was why their kings, bad ones no less than the good, represented the Lord's kingship, and why their high priests, bad ones no less than the good, represented the things that belong to the Lord's Divine priesthood, when they performed their own function in external form according to the prescribed rules and commands. In order therefore that among them a representative of the Church might come into existence they were provided through plainly visible revelation with such prescribed rules and such laws as would be entirely representative. Therefore as long as they kept to them and strictly complied with them, those people were able to play a representative role. But when they deviated from them into the prescribed rules and laws of other nations, and in particular to the worship of another god, they deprived themselves of their ability to play that representative role. For this reason they were coerced by external means - which were captivities, calamities, threats, and miracles - into obeying laws and prescribed rules that were truly representative, not by internal means, as those people are whose external worship has internal within it. These are the considerations that are meant in the internal historical sense by the words 'the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint', which sense has regard to Jacob and his descendants.
