2 Mózes 13

Studie

   

1 És szóla az Úr Mózesnek, mondván:

2 Nékem szentelj minden elsõszülöttet, valami megnyitja az õ anyjának méhét az Izráel fiai között, akár ember, akár barom, enyim legyen az.

3 És monda Mózes a népnek: Megemlékezzél e napról, melyen kijöttetek Égyiptomból, a szolgálatnak házából; mert hatalmas kézzel hozott ki onnan titeket az Úr; azért ne egyetek kovászost.

4 Ma mentek ki, az Abib hónapban.

5 És ha majd bevisz téged az Úr a Kananeusok, meg Khittheusok, meg Emoreusok, meg Khivveusok és Jebuzeusok földére, melyrõl megesküdött a ti atyáitoknak, hogy néked adja azt a téjjel és mézzel folyó földet: akkor ebben a hónapban végezd ezt a szertartást.

6 Hét napon át kovásztalan kenyeret egyél, a hetedik napon pedig innepet ülj az Úrnak.

7 Kovásztalan kenyeret egyél hét napon át, és ne láttassék nálad kovászos kenyér, se kovász ne láttassék a te egész határodban.

8 És add tudtára a te fiadnak azon a napon, mondván: Ez a miatt van, a mit az Úr cselekedett velem, mikor kijövék Égyiptomból.

9 És legyen az néked jel gyanánt a te kezeden és emlékezetül a te szemeid elõtt azért, hogy az Úr törvénye a te szádban legyen, mert hatalmas kézzel hozott ki téged az Úr Égyiptomból.

10 Tartsd meg azért ezt a rendelést annak idejében esztendõrõl esztendõre.

11 Ha pedig beviénd téged az Úr a Kananeusok földére, a miképen megesküdött néked és a te atyáidnak, és azt néked adándja:

12 Az Úrnak ajánld fel akkor mindazt, a mi az õ anyjának méhét megnyitja, a baromnak is, a mi néked lesz, minden méhnyitó fajzását; a hímek az Úré.

13 De a szamárnak minden elsõ fajzását báránynyal váltsd meg; ha pedig meg nem váltod, szegd meg a nyakát. Az embernek is minden elsõszülöttét megváltsd a te fiaid közül.

14 És ha egykor a te fiad téged megkérdez, mondván: Micsoda ez? akkor mondd néki: Hatalmas kézzel hozott ki minket az Úr Égyiptomból, a szolgálatnak házából.

15 És lõn, mikor a Faraó megátalkodottan vonakodék minket elbocsátani: megöle az Úr minden elsõszülöttet Égyiptom földén, az ember elsõszülöttétõl a barom elsõ fajzásáig; azért áldozok én az Úrnak minden hímet, mely anyja méhét megnyitja, és megváltom az én fiaimnak minden elsõszülöttét.

16 Legyen azért jel gyanánt a te kezeden és homlok-kötõ gyanánt a te szemeid elõtt, mert hatalmas kézzel hozott ki minket az Úr Égyiptomból.

17 És lõn, a mikor elbocsátá a Faraó a népet, nem vivé õket Isten a Filiszteusok földje felé, noha közel vala az; mert monda az Isten: Netalán mást gondol a nép, ha harczot lát, és visszatér Égyiptomba.

18 Kerülõ úton vezeté azért Isten a népet, a veres tenger pusztájának útján; és fölfegyverkezve jövének ki Izráel fiai Égyiptom földérõl.

19 És Mózes elvivé magával a József tetemeit is, mert megesketvén megeskette vala Izráel fiait, mondván: Meglátogatván meglátogat titeket az Isten, akkor az én tetemeimet felvigyétek innen magatokkal.

20 És elindulának Szukhótból és táborba szállának Ethámban, a puszta szélén.

21 Az Úr pedig megy vala elõttök nappal felhõoszlopban, hogy vezérelje õket az úton, éjjel pedig tûzoszlopban, hogy világítson nékik, hogy éjjel és nappal mehessenek.

22 Nem távozott el a felhõoszlop nappal, sem a tûzoszlop éjjel a nép elõl.

8093. That God led them not by the way of the land of the Philistines. That this signifies that it was provided by the Divine that they should not pass to truth of faith which is not from good, is evident from the signification of “God led them not by the way,” as being that it was provided by the Divine that they should not pass, for by “leading,” when by God, is signified providence, and by “way” is signified truth (see n. 627, 2333), here to pass to the truth; and from the representation of the Philistines, as being those who are in the memory-knowledge of the knowledges of faith, and are not in a life of charity (n. 1197, 1198, 3412, 3413), thus those who are in truth of faith which is not from good. That this is signified by the “Philistines and their land” can be seen from the passages in the Word where they are mentioned, especially in Jeremiah 47, where they are described; and also in Joel 3:5-6; and likewise from the historicals of the Word where are described the wars between the sons of Israel and the Philistines, and their subjugation by the Philistines, and then of the Philistines by the sons of Israel. By the Philistines are there represented those who are in faith separate, or to whom the memory-knowledge of the knowledges of faith is the main thing, but not a life according thereto; consequently those who teach and believe that faith alone saves.

[2] The opinion concerning faith alone or separate is not new, or of this time only, but existed in the ancient churches, and came into use together with evil of life. It is also described in the Word throughout, but by names: first by “Cain,” in that he slew his brother Abel (see n. 337, 340, 1179); “Cain” there, in the internal representative sense, denotes such faith, and “Abel” denotes charity. It is also described by “Ham,” when he was cursed by his father (n. 1062, 1063); afterward by “Reuben,” in that he went up on his father’s bed (n. 3870, 4601); and by “Simeon and Levi,” in that they slew Hamor and the men of Shechem, and were therefore cursed by their father (n. 3870, 6352). This faith is also described by the “Egyptians,” and by their firstborn being slain (see n. 7766, 7778), and by the Egyptians being sunk in the sea Suph. It is also described by the “Philistines” (n. 3412, 3413), and likewise by “Tyre and Sidon” throughout the prophets, where by the “Philistines” is signified the memory-knowledge of the knowledges of faith, and by “Tyre and Sidon” the knowledges themselves, interior and exterior. Lastly it is also described by “Peter,” when he thrice denied the the Lord, (n. 6000, 6073). But see what has been already shown concerning this faith (n. 36, 379, 389, 916, 1017, 1076, 1077, 1162, 1176, 1798, 1799, 1834, 1844, 2049, 2116, 2228, 2231, 2261, 2343, 2349, 2364, 2383, 2385, 2401, 2435, 2982, 3146, 3242, 3325, 3412, 3413, 3416, 3427, 3773, 4663, 4672, 4673, 4683, 4721, 4730, 4766, 4783, 4925, 5351, 5820, 5826, 6269, 6272, 6273, 6348, 6353, 7039, 7097, 7127, 7317, 7502, 7545, 7623-7627, 7724, 7779, 7790, 7950).

7950. Unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the house of the pit. That this signifies the falsified truths of faith which are in the last place, is evident from the signification of “the firstborn in the land of Egypt,” as being faith separate from charity (as just above, n. 7948), thus also the falsified truth of faith (of which in what follows); and from the signification of “the captive that was in the house of the pit,” as being those who are in the last place, for the captive is contrasted with “the firstborn of Pharaoh about to sit upon the throne,” whereby is signified the falsified truth of faith which is in the first place (n. 7779, 7949). In the proximate spiritual sense, by “the captive in the house of the pit,” is meant one who is in the bodily sensuous, thus in mere thick darkness concerning truths and goods, because not even in the faculty of perceiving, as are they who are in the interior sensuous; hence it is that they are signified who are in the last place.

[2] That “the firstborn in the land of Egypt” denotes the falsified truth of faith, is because “the firstborn of Egypt” denotes faith separate from charity (n. 7948). They who are in this faith are in mere darkness and thick darkness with respect to the truths of faith; for they cannot be in any light, thus not in any perception of what truth is, and whether it is truth. For all spiritual light comes through good from the Lord, thus through charity, for the good of charity is like a flame from which is light; for good is of love, and love is spiritual fire, from which comes enlightenment. He who believes that they who are in evil can also be in enlightenment in respect to the truths of faith, is very much mistaken. They can be in a state of confirmation, that is, they may be able to confirm the doctrinal things of their church, and this sometimes with skill and ingenuity; but they cannot see whether what they confirm is true or not. (That falsity also can be confirmed even so as to appear like truth; and that it is not the part of a wise man to confirm, but to see whether the thing is so, see n. 4741, 5033, 6865, 7012, 7680)

[3] He therefore who is in evil as to life is in the falsity of his evil, and does not believe the truth, however well he knows it. He sometimes supposes that he believes, but he is mistaken. That he does not believe will be granted him to know in the other life, when his perceiving is reduced into agreement with his willing. Then he will disown, hold in aversion, and reject the truth, and will acknowledge as truth that which is contrary, that is, falsity. Hence then it is that they who are in faith separate from charity cannot do otherwise than falsify the truths of faith.
