1 και ειπεν κυριος προς μωυσην πορευου αναβηθι εντευθεν συ και ο λαος σου ους εξηγαγες εκ γης αιγυπτου εις την γην ην ωμοσα τω αβρααμ και ισαακ και ιακωβ λεγων τω σπερματι υμων δωσω αυτην

2 και συναποστελω τον αγγελον μου προ προσωπου σου και εκβαλει τον αμορραιον και χετταιον και φερεζαιον και γεργεσαιον και ευαιον και ιεβουσαιον

3 και εισαξω σε εις γην ρεουσαν γαλα και μελι ου γαρ μη συναναβω μετα σου δια το λαον σκληροτραχηλον σε ειναι ινα μη εξαναλωσω σε εν τη οδω

4 και ακουσας ο λαος το ρημα το πονηρον τουτο κατεπενθησαν εν πενθικοις

5 και ειπεν κυριος τοις υιοις ισραηλ υμεις λαος σκληροτραχηλος ορατε μη πληγην αλλην επαξω εγω εφ' υμας και εξαναλωσω υμας νυν ουν αφελεσθε τας στολας των δοξων υμων και τον κοσμον και δειξω σοι α ποιησω σοι

6 και περιειλαντο οι υιοι ισραηλ τον κοσμον αυτων και την περιστολην απο του ορους του χωρηβ

7 και λαβων μωυσης την σκηνην αυτου επηξεν εξω της παρεμβολης μακραν απο της παρεμβολης και εκληθη σκηνη μαρτυριου και εγενετο πας ο ζητων κυριον εξεπορευετο εις την σκηνην εξω της παρεμβολης

8 ηνικα δ' αν εισεπορευετο μωυσης εις την σκηνην εξω της παρεμβολης ειστηκει πας ο λαος σκοπευοντες εκαστος παρα τας θυρας της σκηνης αυτου και κατενοουσαν απιοντος μωυση εως του εισελθειν αυτον εις την σκηνην

9 ως δ' αν εισηλθεν μωυσης εις την σκηνην κατεβαινεν ο στυλος της νεφελης και ιστατο επι την θυραν της σκηνης και ελαλει μωυση

10 και εωρα πας ο λαος τον στυλον της νεφελης εστωτα επι της θυρας της σκηνης και σταντες πας ο λαος προσεκυνησαν εκαστος απο της θυρας της σκηνης αυτου

11 και ελαλησεν κυριος προς μωυσην ενωπιος ενωπιω ως ει τις λαλησει προς τον εαυτου φιλον και απελυετο εις την παρεμβολην ο δε θεραπων ιησους υιος ναυη νεος ουκ εξεπορευετο εκ της σκηνης

12 και ειπεν μωυσης προς κυριον ιδου συ μοι λεγεις αναγαγε τον λαον τουτον συ δε ουκ εδηλωσας μοι ον συναποστελεις μετ' εμου συ δε μοι ειπας οιδα σε παρα παντας και χαριν εχεις παρ' εμοι

13 ει ουν ευρηκα χαριν εναντιον σου εμφανισον μοι σεαυτον γνωστως ιδω σε οπως αν ω ευρηκως χαριν εναντιον σου και ινα γνω οτι λαος σου το εθνος το μεγα τουτο

14 και λεγει αυτος προπορευσομαι σου και καταπαυσω σε

15 και λεγει προς αυτον ει μη αυτος συ πορευη μη με αναγαγης εντευθεν

16 και πως γνωστον εσται αληθως οτι ευρηκα χαριν παρα σοι εγω τε και ο λαος σου αλλ' η συμπορευομενου σου μεθ' ημων και ενδοξασθησομαι εγω τε και ο λαος σου παρα παντα τα εθνη οσα επι της γης εστιν

17 και ειπεν κυριος προς μωυσην και τουτον σοι τον λογον ον ειρηκας ποιησω ευρηκας γαρ χαριν ενωπιον μου και οιδα σε παρα παντας

18 και λεγει δειξον μοι την σεαυτου δοξαν

19 και ειπεν εγω παρελευσομαι προτερος σου τη δοξη μου και καλεσω επι τω ονοματι μου κυριος εναντιον σου και ελεησω ον αν ελεω και οικτιρησω ον αν οικτιρω

20 και ειπεν ου δυνηση ιδειν μου το προσωπον ου γαρ μη ιδη ανθρωπος το προσωπον μου και ζησεται

21 και ειπεν κυριος ιδου τοπος παρ' εμοι στηση επι της πετρας

22 ηνικα δ' αν παρελθη μου η δοξα και θησω σε εις οπην της πετρας και σκεπασω τη χειρι μου επι σε εως αν παρελθω

23 και αφελω την χειρα και τοτε οψη τα οπισω μου το δε προσωπον μου ουκ οφθησεται σοι

1444. 'And the Canaanite was at that time in the land' means the hereditary evil from the mother, in His external man. This becomes clear from what has been stated already about the Lord's heredity; for He was born as any other is born and from the mother acquired evils which He fought against and overcame. It is well known that the Lord underwent and endured very severe temptations - which will in the Lord's Divine mercy be described further on - temptations so great in fact that He fought by Himself and from His own power against the whole of hell. Nobody can undergo temptation unless he has evil clinging to him. The person who has no evil cannot experience the smallest temptation, for it is evil that spirits from hell stir up.

[2] With the Lord no evil of His own doing or that was His own was present, as there is with all human beings, only hereditary evil from the mother, which is here called 'the Canaanite at that time in the land'. For this matter see what has been stated above in verse 1, in 1414, to the effect that people are born with two heredities in them, the first from the father, the second from the mother. What comes from the father remains for ever, but what comes from the mother is dispelled by the Lord when the person is being regenerated. The Lord's heredity from His Father however was Divine, while the heredity from the mother was the hereditary evil referred to here, through which He underwent temptations. Regarding His temptations, see Mark 1:12-13; Matthew 4:1; Luke 4:1-2. But, as has been stated, He had no evil of His own doing or which was His own, nor did He have any hereditary evil from the mother after He had overcome hell by means of temptations. It is for this reason that the expression at that time occurs here, that is to say, 'the Canaanite was at that time in the land'.

[3] The Canaanites were people who dwelt by the sea and by the bank of the Jordan, as is clear in Moses,

The spies returned and said, We came into the land to which you sent us, and it is indeed flowing with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. Nevertheless the people dwelling in the land are powerful and the cities are very strongly fortified, and also we saw the descendants of Anak there. The Amalekite dwells in the south, and the Hittite, Jebusite, and Amorite dwell in the mountains, and the Canaanite dwells by the sea and by the bank of the Jordan. Numbers 13:27-29.

'The Canaanite dwelt by the sea and by the bank of the Jordan' meant evil consequently residing with the external man, such as that acquired by heredity from the mother, for the sea and the Jordan were boundaries.

[4] That this kind of evil is meant by 'the Canaanite' is clear also in Zechariah,

And there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of Jehovah Zebaoth on that day. Zechariah 14:21.

This refers to the Lord's kingdom. It means that the Lord overcame the evil meant by 'the Canaanite' and drove it out of His kingdom. Evils of every kind are meant by the idolatrous nations in the land of Canaan, among which were the Canaanites, Genesis 15:19-21; Exodus 3:8, 17; 23:23, 28; 33:2; 34:11; Deuteronomy 7:1; 20:17; Joshua 3:10; 24:11; Judges 3:5. Which evil is meant by each nation specifically will in the Lord's Divine mercy be stated elsewhere.
