Yeremiyah 16

Studie

   

1 ויהי דבר־יהוה אלי לאמר׃

2 לא־תקח לך אשה ולא־יהיו לך בנים ובנות במקום הזה׃

3 כי־כה אמר יהוה על־הבנים ועל־הבנות הילודים במקום הזה ועל־אמתם הילדות אותם ועל־אבותם המולדים אותם בארץ הזאת׃

4 ממותי תחלאים ימתו לא יספדו ולא יקברו לדמן על־פני האדמה יהיו ובחרב וברעב יכלו והיתה נבלתם למאכל לעוף השמים ולבהמת הארץ׃ ס

5 כי־כה אמר יהוה אל־תבוא בית מרזח ואל־תלך לספוד ואל־תנד להם כי־אספתי את־שלומי מאת העם־הזה נאם־יהוה את־החסד ואת־הרחמים׃

6 ומתו גדלים וקטנים בארץ הזאת לא יקברו ולא־יספדו להם ולא יתגדד ולא יקרח להם׃

7 ולא־יפרסו להם על־אבל לנחמו על־מת ולא־ישקו אותם כוס תנחומים על־אביו ועל־אמו׃

8 ובית־משתה לא־תבוא לשבת אותם לאכל ולשתות׃ ס

9 כי כה אמר יהוה צבאות אלהי ישראל הנני משבית מן־המקום הזה לעיניכם ובימיכם קול ששון וקול שמחה קול חתן וקול כלה׃

10 והיה כי תגיד לעם הזה את כל־הדברים האלה ואמרו אליך על־מה דבר יהוה עלינו את כל־הרעה הגדולה הזאת ומה עוננו ומה חטאתנו אשר חטאנו ליהוה אלהינו׃

11 ואמרת אליהם על אשר־עזבו אבותיכם אותי נאם־יהוה וילכו אחרי אלהים אחרים ויעבדום וישתחוו להם ואתי עזבו ואת־תורתי לא שמרו׃

12 ואתם הרעתם לעשות מאבותיכם והנכם הלכים איש אחרי שררות לבו־הרע לבלתי שמע אלי׃

13 והטלתי אתכם מעל הארץ הזאת על־הארץ אשר לא ידעתם אתם ואבותיכם ועבדתם־שם את־אלהים אחרים יוםם ולילה אשר לא־אתן לכם חנינה׃ ס

14 לכן הנה־ימים באים נאם־יהוה ולא־יאמר עוד חי־יהוה אשר העלה את־בני ישראל מארץ מצרים׃

15 כי אם־חי־יהוה אשר העלה את־בני ישראל מארץ צפון ומכל הארצות אשר הדיחם שמה והשבתים על־אדמתם אשר נתתי לאבותם׃ ס

16 הנני שלח [כ= לדוגים] [ק= לדיגים] רבים נאם־יהוה ודיגום ואחרי־כן אשלח לרבים צידים וצדום מעל כל־הר ומעל כל־גבעה ומנקיקי הסלעים׃

17 כי עיני על־כל־דרכיהם לא נסתרו מלפני ולא־נצפן עונם מנגד עיני׃

18 ושלמתי ראשונה משנה עונם וחטאתם על חללם את־ארצי בנבלת שקוציהם ותועבותיהם מלאו את־נחלתי׃ ס

19 יהוה עזי ומעזי ומנוסי ביום צרה אליך גוים יבאו מאפסי־ארץ ויאמרו אך־שקר נחלו אבותינו הבל ואין־בם מועיל׃

20 היעשה־לו אדם אלהים והמה לא אלהים׃

21 לכן הנני מודיעם בפעם הזאת אודיעם את־ידי ואת־גבורתי וידעו כי־שמי יהוה׃ ס

6775. 'And the priest of Midian had seven daughters' means holy things belonging to that Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'a priest's daughters' as things that belong to the Church, for 'a daughter' means a Church, see 2362, 3963, 6729, and 'a priest' the good of love, 1728, 3670, 6148, so that 'a priest's daughters' means a Church so far as its good is concerned; from the meaning of 'Midian' as people who are guided by the truths that go with simple good, dealt with just above in 6773; and from the meaning of 'seven' as that which is holy, dealt with in 395, 433, 716, 881, 5265, 5268. Thus 'the priest of Midian had seven daughters' means holy things belonging to the Church among those who are guided by the truths that go with simple good. The people said to be governed by simple good are those who keep up the external practices of the Church and who in simplicity take the Word literally, each one believing it according to his own understanding. They also lead lives that accord with what they believe, and so are governed by good, depending on the nature of that good, which is determined by the truths that guide them. That good brings an internal dimension of the Church to these people, but because they are not guided by truths of a more internal kind, the good entering in becomes something general and accordingly vague, since spiritual light is unable to fall on particular aspects and thereby illuminate things distinctly. The kind of people spoken of here have heaven granted to them in the next life as determined by the nature of their good, which depends on their truths. People such as these are meant here by 'Midian'; but properly speaking they are those outside the Church who lead a good life in keeping with their type of religion.

Exodus 2

Studie

   

1 A man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi as his wife.

2 The woman conceived, and bore a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months.

3 When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus basket for him, and coated it with tar and with pitch. She put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river's bank.

4 His sister stood far off, to see what would be done to him.

5 Pharaoh's daughter came down to bathe at the river. Her maidens walked along by the riverside. She saw the basket among the reeds, and sent her handmaid to get it.

6 She opened it, and saw the child, and behold, the baby cried. She had compassion on him, and said, "This is one of the Hebrews' children."

7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, "Should I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?"

8 Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Go." The maiden went and called the child's mother.

9 Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Take this child away, and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages." The woman took the child, and nursed it.

10 The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, and said, "Because I drew him out of the water."

11 It happened in those days, when Moses had grown up, that he went out to his brothers, and looked at their burdens. He saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his brothers.

12 He looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no one, he killed the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.

13 He went out the second day, and behold, two men of the Hebrews were fighting with each other. He said to him who did the wrong, "Why do you strike your fellow?"

14 He said, "Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you plan to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian?" Moses was afraid, and said, "Surely this thing is known."

15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and lived in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well.

16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. They came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.

17 The shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.

18 When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, "How is it that you have returned so early today?"

19 They said, "An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock."

20 He said to his daughters, "Where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread."

21 Moses was content to dwell with the man. He gave Moses Zipporah, his daughter.

22 She bore a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, "I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land."

23 It happened in the course of those many days, that the king of Egypt died, and the children of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.

24 God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

25 God saw the children of Israel, and God was concerned about them.
