Êxodo 3

Studie

   

1 Ora, Moisés estava apascentando o rebanho de Jetro, seu sogro, sacerdote de Midiã; e levou o rebanho para trás do deserto, e chegou a Horebe, o monte de Deus.

2 E apareceu-lhe o anjo do Senhor em uma chama de fogo do meio duma sarça. Moisés olhou, e eis que a sarça ardia no fogo, e a sarça não se consumia;

3 pelo que disse: Agora me virarei para lá e verei esta maravilha, e por que a sarça não se queima.

4 E vendo o Senhor que ele se virara para ver, chamou-o do meio da sarça, e disse: Moisés, Moisés! Respondeu ele: Eis-me aqui.

5 Prosseguiu Deus: Não te chegues para cá; tira os sapatos dos pés; porque o lugar em que tu estás é terra santa.

6 Disse mais: Eu sou o Deus de teu pai, o Deus de Abraão, o Deus de Isaque, e o Deus de Jacó. E Moisés escondeu o rosto, porque temeu olhar para Deus.

7 Então disse o Senhor: Com efeito tenho visto a aflição do meu povo, que está no Egito, e tenho ouvido o seu clamor por causa dos seus exatores, porque conheço os seus sofrimentos;

8 e desci para o livrar da mão dos egípcios, e para o fazer subir daquela terra para uma terra boa e espaçosa, para uma terra que mana leite e mel; para o lugar do cananeu, do heteu, do amorreu, do perizeu, do heveu e do jebuseu.

9 E agora, ei s que o clamor dos filhos de Israel é vindo a mim; e também tenho visto a opressão com que os egípcios os oprimem.

10 Agora, pois, vem e eu te enviarei a Faraó, para que tireis do Egito o meu povo, os filhos de Israel.

11 Então Moisés disse a Deus: Quem sou eu, para que vá a Faraó e tire do Egito os filhos de Israel?

12 Respondeu-lhe Deus: Certamente eu serei contigo; e isto te será por sinal de que eu te enviei: Quando houveres tirado do Egito o meu povo, servireis a Deus neste monte.

13 Então disse Moisés a Deus: Eis que quando eu for aos filhos de Israel, e lhes disser: O Deus de vossos pais me enviou a vós; e eles me perguntarem: Qual é o seu nome? Que lhes direi?

14 Respondeu Deus a Moisés: EU SOU O QUE SOU. Disse mais: Assim dirás aos olhos de Israel: EU SOU me enviou a vós.

15 E Deus disse mais a Moisés: Assim dirás aos filhos de Israel: O Senhor, o Deus de vossos pais, o Deus de Abraão, o Deus de Isaque, e o Deus de Jacó, me enviou a vós; este é o meu nome eternamente, e este é o meu memorial de geração em geração.

16 Vai, ajunta os anciãos de Israel e dize-lhes: O Senhor, o Deus de vossos pais, o Deus de Abraão, de Isaque e de Jacó, apareceu-me, dizendo: certamente vos tenho visitado e visto o que vos tem sido feito no Egito;

17 e tenho dito: Far-vos-ei subir da aflição do Egito para a terra do cananeu, do heteu, do amorreu, do perizeu, do heveu e do jebuseu, para uma terra que mana leite e mel.

18 E ouvirão a tua voz; e ireis, tu e os anciãos de Israel, ao rei do Egito, e dir-lhe-eis: O Senhor, o Deus dos hebreus, encontrou-nos. Agora, pois, deixa-nos ir caminho de três dias para o deserto para que ofereçamos sacrifícios ao Senhor nosso Deus.

19 Eu sei, porém, que o rei do Egito não vos deixará ir, a não ser por uma forte mão.

20 Portanto estenderei a minha mão, e ferirei o Egito com todas as minhas maravilhas que farei no meio dele. Depois vos deixará ir.

21 E eu darei graça a este povo aos olhos dos egípcios; e acontecerá que, quando sairdes, não saireis vazios.

22 Porque cada mulher pedirá à sua vizinha e à sua hóspeda jóias de prata e jóias de ouro, bem como vestidos, os quais poreis sobre vossos filhos e sobre vossas filhas; assim despojareis os egípcios.

Exploring the Meaning of Exodus 3

Napsal(a) New Christian Bible Study Staff

Arcana Coelestia 6825. In the first chapter, in the internal sense, the subject treated of was the infestation by falsities and evils of those who are of the church; in the second chapter it was the beginnings and successive states of truth Divine with them; in this chapter in the internal sense the subject treated of is their liberation; and then for the first time they are instructed who the God is who has liberated them, that it is the Lord; and that He introduces them into heaven after they have been endowed with manifold truth and good.

6825. Exodus 3

1. And Moses was feeding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to the mountain of God, to Horeb.

2. And the angel of Jehovah appeared to him in a flame of fire from the middle of a bramble bush; and he saw, and behold, the bramble bush was burning with fire, and the bramble bush was not at all being consumed.

3. And Moses said, I will turn aside therefore, and see this great sight, why the bramble bush is not burnt.

4. And Jehovah saw that he turned aside to see, and God called to him from the middle of the bramble bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here I am.

5. And He said, Do not draw near here; take off your shoes from upon Your feet, for the place which you are standing on is holy ground.

6. And He said, I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.

7. And Jehovah said, I have indeed seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry from before their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows.

8. And I have come down to deliver them from the hand of the Egyptians, and to cause them to come up out of that land to a land good and broad, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanite and the Hittite, and the Amorite and the Perizzite, and the Hivite and the Jebusite.

9. And now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to Me; and also I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.

10. And now, go, and I will send you to Pharaoh; and lead My people the children of Israel out of Egypt.

11. And Moses said to God, Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should lead the children of Israel out of Egypt?

12. And He said, Because I will be with you; and this will be the sign to you that I have sent you: When you lead the people out of Egypt you shall worship God beside this mountain.

13. And Moses said to God, Behold, I am coming to the children of Israel and saying to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you, and they may say to me, What is His name? What am I to say to them?

14. And God said to Moses, I AM WHO I AM. And He said, Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: I AM has sent me to you.

15. And God said further still to Moses, Thus you are to say to the children of Israel Jehovah, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you; this is My name forever, 1 and this is My memorial from one generation to another. 2

16. Go and gather the elders of Israel, and you are to say to them, Jehovah, the God of your fathers, has appeared to me - the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob - saying, I have certainly visited you and [seen] what has been done to you in Egypt.

17. And I say, I will cause you to come up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite, and the Amorite and the Perizzite, and the Hivite and the Jebusite, to a land flowing with milk and honey.

18. And they will hear your voice, and you and the elders of Israel are to go in to the king of Egypt, and you are to say to him, Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, has come to meet us; and now let us go, we beg you, a way of three days 3 into the wilderness, and let us sacrifice to Jehovah our God.

19. And I know that the king of Egypt will not allow you to go, not even 4 by a strong hand.

20. And I will stretch out 5 My hand, and strike Egypt with all My wonders which I will do in the midst of it; and after that he will send you away.

21. And I will give this people favour 6 in the eyes of the Egyptians; and so it will be when you go, that you will not go empty-handed.

22. And let a woman ask of her female neighbour, and of the female guest in her house, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and clothes; and you shall put them on your sons and on your daughters. And you shall plunder the Egyptians.

CONTENTS

In the first chapter the subject in the internal sense was the molestation of those belonging to the Church by falsities and evils; and in the second chapter it was the first beginnings and the succeeding states of God's truth among them. The present chapter deals in the internal sense with their deliverance. First they are taught who God their Deliverer is, namely the Lord, and that He will bring them into heaven after they have been endowed with a large amount of truth and good.
