Esodo 7

Studie

   

1 L’Eterno disse a Mosè: "Vedi, io ti ho stabilito come Dio per Faraone, e Aaronne tuo fratello sarà il tuo profeta.

2 Tu dirai tutto quello che t’ordinerò, e Aaronne tuo fratello parlerà a Faraone, perché lasci partire i figliuoli d’Israele dal suo paese.

3 E io indurerò il cuore di Faraone, e moltiplicherò i miei segni e i miei prodigi nel paese d’Egitto.

4 E Faraone non vi darà ascolto; e io metterò la mia mano sull’Egitto, e farò uscire dal paese d’Egitto le mie schiere, il mio popolo, i figliuoli d’Israele, mediante grandi giudizi.

5 E gli Egiziani conosceranno che io sono l’Eterno, quando avrò steso la mia mano sull’Egitto e avrò tratto di mezzo a loro i figliuoli d’Israele".

6 E Mosè e Aaronne fecero così; fecero come l’Eterno avea loro ordinato.

7 Or Mosè aveva ottant’anni e Aaronne ottantatre, quando parlarono a Faraone.

8 L’Eterno parlò a Mosè e ad Aaronne, dicendo:

9 "Quando Faraone vi parlerà e vi dirà: Fate un prodigio! tu dirai ad Aaronne: Prendi il tuo bastone, gettalo davanti a Faraone, e diventerà un serpente".

10 Mosè ed Aaronne andaron dunque da Faraone, e fecero come l’Eterno aveva ordinato. Aaronne gettò il suo bastone davanti a Faraone e davanti ai suoi servitori, e quello diventò un serpente.

11 Faraone a sua volta chiamò i savi e gl’incantatori; e i magi d’Egitto fecero anch’essi lo stesso, con le loro arti occulte.

12 Ognun d’essi gettò il suo bastone, e i bastoni diventaron serpenti; ma il bastone d’Aaronne inghiottì i bastoni di quelli.

13 E il cuore di Faraone s’indurò, ed egli non diè ascolto a Mosè e ad Aaronne, come l’Eterno avea detto.

14 L’Eterno disse a Mosè: "Il cuor di Faraone è ostinato;

15 egli rifiuta di lasciar andare il popolo. Va’ da Faraone domani mattina; ecco, egli uscirà per andare verso l’acqua; tu sta’ ad aspettarlo sulla riva del fiume, e prendi in mano il bastone ch’è stato mutato in serpente.

16 E digli: L’Eterno, l’Iddio degli Ebrei, m’ha mandato da te per dirti: Lascia andare il mio popolo, perché mi serva nel deserto; ed ecco, fino ad ora, tu non hai ubbidito.

17 Così dice l’Eterno: Da questo conoscerai che io sono l’Eterno; ecco, io percoterò col bastone che ho in mia mano le acque che son nel fiume, ed esse saran mutate in sangue.

18 E il pesce ch’è nel fiume morrà, e il fiume cara ammorbato, e gli Egiziani avranno ripugnanza a bere l’acqua del fiume".

19 E l’Eterno disse a Mosè: "Di’ ad Aaronne: Prendi il tuo bastone, e stendi la tua mano sulle acque dell’Egitto, sui loro fiumi, sui loro rivi, sui loro stagni e sopra ogni raccolta d’acqua; essi diventeranno sangue, e vi sarà sangue per tutto il paese d’Egitto, perfino ne’ recipienti di legno e ne’ recipienti di pietra".

20 Mosè ed Aaronne fecero come l’Eterno aveva ordinato. Aaronne alzò il bastone, e in presenza di Faraone e in presenza dei suoi servitori percosse le acque ch’erano nel fiume; e tutte le acque ch’erano nel fiume furon cangiate in sangue.

21 E il pesce ch’era nel fiume morì; e il fiume fu ammorbato, sì che gli Egiziani non potevan bere l’acqua del fiume; e vi fu sangue per tutto il paese d’Egitto.

22 E i magi d’Egitto fecero lo stesso con le loro arti occulte; e il cuore di Faraone s’indurò ed egli non diè ascolto a Mosè e ad Aaronne, come l’Eterno avea detto.

23 E Faraone, volte ad essi le spalle, se ne andò a casa sua, e neanche di questo fece alcun caso.

24 E tutti gli Egiziani fecero degli scavi ne’ pressi del fiume per trovare dell’acqua da bere, perché non potevan bere l’acqua del fiume.

25 E passaron sette interi giorni, dopo che l’Eterno ebbe percosso il fiume.

Exploring the Meaning of Exodus 7

Napsal(a) New Christian Bible Study Staff

Arcana Coelestia 7264. The subject treated of in the internal sense in what follows is the vastation, and at last the damnation, of those who are in falsities and evils. The process of their devastation is described by the eleven plagues brought on the Egyptians and their land.

Arcana Coelestia 7265. In this chapter the subject treated of in the internal sense is the first three degrees of vastation. The first, which is that mere fallacies began to reign with them, whence came falsities, is described by the serpent into which the rod of Aaron was turned. The second, which is that truths themselves became falsities with them, and that falsities became truths, is described by the blood into which the waters were turned. The third degree, which is that from falsities they reasoned against the truths and goods of the church, is described by the frogs out of the river.

7264. Exodus 7

1. And Jehovah said to Moses, See, I have made you a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother will be your prophet.

2. You shall speak all that I command you; and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, to send the children of Israel out of his land.

3. And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt.

4. And Pharaoh will not hear 1 you; and I will lay My hand on the Egyptians, and will lead My armies, My people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt with great judgements.

5. And the Egyptians will know that I am Jehovah, when I stretch out My hand over the Egyptians; and I will lead the children of Israel out of the midst of them.

6. And Moses and Aaron did so; as Jehovah had commanded them, so they did.

7. And Moses was a son of eighty years, and Aaron a son of eighty-three years, when they spoke to Pharaoh.

8. And Jehovah said to Moses and to Aaron - He said,

9. When Pharaoh says to you - when he says, Perform a wonder; 2 you shall say to Aaron, Take your rod and throw it down in front of Pharaoh. It will then be a water-serpent.

10. And Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did so, as Jehovah had commanded; and Aaron threw down his rod in front of Pharaoh, and in front of his servants, and it was made into a water-serpent.

11. And Pharaoh also called the wise men and sorcerers, and they also, the magicians of Egypt, did so with their enchantments.

12. And they threw down each one his rod, and they were made into water-serpents; and Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.

13. And Pharaoh's heart was unyielding, and he did not hear 1 them, as Jehovah had spoken.

14. And Jehovah said to Moses, Pharaoh's heart is inflexible; he refuses to send the people away.

15. Go to Pharaoh in the morning; behold, he goes out to the water. And you are to stand so as to meet him beside the bank of the river; and the rod which was turned into a serpent, take in your hand.

16. And you shall say to him, Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, Send My people away, and let them serve Me in the wilderness; and behold, you have not heard up to now.

17. Thus said Jehovah, In this you will know that I am Jehovah - behold, I strike with the rod which is in my hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they will be turned into blood.

18. And the fish that are in the river will die, and the river will stink; and the Egyptians will find it difficult 3 to drink water from the river.

19. And Jehovah said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Take your rod, and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and over every gathering of their waters, and they will be blood; and there will be blood in all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.

20. And Moses and Aaron did so, as Jehovah had commanded; and he lifted up the rod and struck the waters which were in the river, before the eyes of Pharaoh and before the eyes of his servants. And all the waters which were in the river were converted into blood.

21. And the fish which were in the river died, and the river stank, and the Egyptians were unable to drink water from the river; and there was blood in the entire land of Egypt.

22. And the magicians of Egypt did the same with their enchantments; and Pharaoh's heart was unyielding, and he did not hear 1 them, as Jehovah had spoken.

23. And Pharaoh looked back and went to his house, and he did not take even this to heart. 4

24. And all the Egyptians dug round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink from the waters of the river.

25. And seven days were fulfilled after Jehovah struck the river. 5

26. And Jehovah said to Moses, Go to Pharaoh, and you shall say to him, Thus says Jehovah, Send My people away, and let them serve Me.

27. And if you refuse to send them away, behold, I will plague all your borders with frogs.

28. And the river will cause the frogs to crawl forth, and they will rise up and come into your house, and into your bedchamber, and onto your bed, and into the house of your servants, and onto your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading bowls.

29. And onto you, and onto your people, and onto all your servants the frogs will rise up.
