Exodus 11

Studie

   

1 Et dixit Dominus ad Moysen : Adhuc una plaga tangam Pharaonem et Ægyptum, et post hæc dimittet vos, et exire compellet.

2 Dices ergo omni plebi ut postulet vir ab amico suo, et mulier a vicina sua, vasa argentea et aurea.

3 Dabit autem Dominus gratiam populo suo coram Ægyptiis. Fuitque Moyses vir magnus valde in terra Ægypti coram servis Pharaonis et omni populo.

4 Et ait : Hæc dicit Dominus : Media nocte egrediar in Ægyptum :

5 et morietur omne primogenitum in terra Ægyptiorum, a primogenito Pharaonis, qui sedet in solio ejus, usque ad primogenitum ancillæ quæ est ad molam, et omnia primogenita jumentorum.

6 Eritque clamor magnus in universa terra Ægypti, qualis nec ante fuit, nec postea futurus est.

7 Apud omnes autem filios Israël non mutiet canis ab homine usque ad pecus : ut sciatis quanto miraculo dividat Dominus Ægyptios et Israël.

8 Descendentque omnes servi tui isti ad me, et adorabunt me, dicentes : Egredere tu, et omnis populus qui subjectus est tibi : post hæc egrediemur.

9 Et exivit a Pharaone iratus nimis. Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen : Non audiet vos Pharao ut multa signa fiant in terra Ægypti.

10 Moyses autem et Aaron fecerunt omnia ostenta, quæ scripta sunt, coram Pharaone. Et induravit Dominus cor Pharaonis, nec dimisit filios Israël de terra sua.

7952. 'And Pharaoh rose that night, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians' means that when all the damned without exception were brought into a state of nothing but falsity arising from evil they felt a loathing and fear of those belonging to the spiritual Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'night' as a state of nothing but falsity arising from evil, as above in 7947, and therefore damnation, for whether you say a state of nothing but falsity arising from evil or damnation it amounts to the same thing since those in that state have been damned; and from the meaning of 'Pharaoh, his servants, and all the Egyptians' as all of them without exception. The further meaning that they felt a loathing and fear of those belonging to the spiritual Church is evident from what follows. For [the next verse] says that Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron and told them to go away from the midst of his people, and verse 39 that the Egyptians drove them out.
