Исход 10

Studie

   

1 И сказалъ Іегова Моисею: поди къ Фараону, ибо Я отягчилъ сердце его и сердце рабовъ его, дабы явить между ими сіи знаменія Мои,

2 и дабы ты разсказывалъ сыну твоему, и сыну сына твоего, о томъ, что Я сдјлалъ въ Египтј, и о знаменіяхъ Моихъ, кои Я показалъ въ немъ. и дабы вы знали, что Я Іегова.

3 Моисей и Ааронъ пришли къ Фараону и сказали ему: такъ говоритъ Іегова, Богъ Евреевъ: долго ли ты не смиришься предо Мною? отпусти народъ Мой, дабы онъ совершилъ Мнј служеніе.

4 А если ты не отпустишь народа Моего: то вотъ, завтра Я наведу саранчу на твою область.

5 Она покроетъ лице земли такъ, что нельзя будетъ видјть земли, и појстъ у васъ послјднее, что осталось, уцјлјло отъ града, и појстъ всј дерева, растущія у васъ въ полј;

6 и наполнитъ домы твои, домы всјхъ рабовъ твоихъ и домы всјхъ Египтянъ; чего не видали отцы твои, ни отцы отцевъ твоихъ со дня, какъ живутъ на землј, даже до сего. Моисей обратился и вышедъ отъ Фараона.

7 Тогда рабы Фараоновы сказали ему: долго ли ему насъ мучить? отпусти сихъ людей; пусть они совершатъ служеніе Іеговј, Богу своему; неужели ты еще не видишь, что Египетъ гибнетъ?

8 И возвратили Моисея и Аарона къ Фараону, который сказалъ имъ: подите, совершите служеніе Іеговј Богу вашему. Кто же, и кто пойдетъ?

9 Моисей сказалъ: пойдемъ съ малолјтными нашими и стариками нашими, съ сыновьями нашими, и дочерьми нашими, съ овцами нашими, и съ волами нашими пойдемъ; ибо у насъ праздникъ Іеговј.

10 Фараонъ сказалъ имъ: пусть столько же будетъ Іегова съ вами, сколько я готовъ отпустить васъ съ дјтьми вашими! видите, что у васъ худое въ намјреніи.

11 Нјтъ: подите одни совершеннолјтніе и совершите служеніе Іеговј, такъ какъ вы сего просили. И выгнали ихъ отъ Фараона.

12 Тогда Іегова сказалъ Моисею: простри руку твою на землю Египетскую, и пусть нападетъ саранча иа землю Египетскую, и појстъ всю траву земную, все, что уцјлјло отъ града.

13 И простеръ Моисей посохъ свой на землю Египетскую, и Іегова навелъ на сію землю восточный вјтръ, продолжавшийся весь тотъ день и всю ночь. Настало утро, и восточный вјтръ нанесъ саранчу.

14 И напала саранча на всю землю Египетскую, и легла по всей странј Египетской въ великомъ множествј; прожде не бывало такой саранчи, какъ сія, и послј сего не будетъ такой.

15 Она покрыла лице всей земли, такъ, что земли не было видно, и појла всю траву земную и всј плоды древесные, уцјлјвшіе отъ града, и не осталось никакой зелени, ни на деревахъ, ни на травј полевой во всей землј Египетской.

16 Фараонъ поспјшно призвалъ Моисея и Аарона, и сказалъ: согрјшилъ я предъ Іеговою, Богомъ вашимъ и предъ вами.

17 Теперь простите грјхъ мой и еще разъ, и помолитесь Іеговј, Богу вашему, дабы Онъ только сію смерть отвратилъ отъ меня.

18 Моисей вышелъ отъ Фараона и помолился Іеговј.

19 И воздвигнулъ Іегова съ противной стороны отъ моря весьма сильный вјтръ, и онъ понесъ саранчу и бросилъ ее въ Чермное море, не осталось ни одной саранчи во всей странј Египетской!

20 Но Іегова ожесточилъ сердце Фараона, и онъ не отпустилъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ.

21 И сказалъ Іегова Моисею: простри руку твою къ небу, и будетъ тма на землј Египетской, осязаемая тма.

22 Моисей простеръ руку свою къ небу, и была густая тма по всей землј Египетской три дня.

23 Не видјли другъ друга, и никто не вставалъ съ мјста своего три дня; у всјхъ же сыновъ Израилевыхъ былъ свјтъ въ жилищахъ.

24 Фараонъ призвалъ Моисея, и сказалъ: подите, совершите служеніе Іеговј, пусть только останется мјлкій и крупный скотъ вашъ, а дјти ваши пусть идутъ съ вами.

25 Но Моисей сказалъ: дай также въ руки наши жертвы и всесожженія, чтобы принести Іеговј, Богу нашему.

26 Пусть пойдутъ и стада наши съ нами, не останется ни копыта; ибо изъ нихъ мы возмемъ на жертву Іеговј, Богу нашему; но доколј не придемъ туда, мы не знаемъ, что должны принести въ жертву Іеговј.

27 И ожесточилъ Іегова сердце Фараона, и онъ не захотјлъ отпустить ихъ.

28 И сказалъ ему Фараонъ: поди отъ меня; берегись, не являйся болје предъ лице мое, умрешь.

29 Моисей сказалъ: пусть будетъ, какъ ты сказалъ: я не явлюсь болје предъ лице твое.

36. Verse 7. Behold, He cometh with the clouds, signifies that the Lord is about to reveal Himself in the Word through the internal sense. This is evident from the signification of "coming," as being, in reference to the Lord, to reveal Himself; and from the signification of "clouds," as being Divine truths in ultimates, thus the Word in the letter; for the Word as to the sense of the letter is Divine truth in ultimates; and since each thing therein contains an internal or spiritual sense, "coming with clouds" means revealing Himself through that sense. That "clouds" signify Divine truths in ultimates is from appearances in the spiritual world. There clouds appear in various kinds of light; in the inmost or third heaven in a flaming light, in the middle or second heaven in a bright white light, and in the outmost or first heaven in a light more dense; and everyone there knows that they signify Divine truth from the Lord through the angels; for when Divine truth proceeding from the Lord, which is the very light of heaven, passes through the angels, it appears as a cloud, purer or denser according to their intelligence. Such clouds have oftentimes been seen by me, and what they signify has also been perceived. This is why "clouds," such as those that appear before the eyes of men in the world, signify Divine truth in ultimates; and as the Word in the letter is Divine truth in ultimates, that is what is meant by "clouds."

[2] He who does not know that "clouds" have this signification, may suppose that the Lord is about to come in clouds for the Last Judgment, and to appear in glory; according to His words in the Evangelists, where He says:

Then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven, with power and much glory (Matthew 24:30; Mark 13:26; Luke 21:27).

"The consummation of the age" which is there treated of is the last time of the church; and the Lord's coming at that time is the revelation of Himself, and of Divine truth which is from Him, in the Word, through the internal sense. Elsewhere than in the Word the Lord does not reveal Himself, nor does He reveal Himself there except through the internal sense. The Word in the internal sense is also signified by "power" and "glory." (That this is fulfilled at this day, namely that the age is consummated, and the Last Judgment accomplished; and also that the Lord has come in the clouds of heaven, that is, has revealed the internal sense of the Word, may be seen in the small work on The Last Judgment, from beginning to end; also in the work on Heaven and Hell 1; also in The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem, n.249-266.

That "the consummation of the age" signifies the last time of the church, see Arcana Coelestia 4535, 10622; that "the coming of the Lord" signifies the revelation of Divine truth through the internal sense, n. 3900, 4060; that "clouds" signify the sense of the letter of the Word, n. 4060, 4391, 5922, 6343, 6752, 8106, 8781, 9430, 10551, 10574; that "glory" signifies Divine truth in heaven, thus the internal sense, for this is Divine truth in heaven, n. 5922, 9429[1-7], 10574. The Lord is said to be "about to come in power," because Divine truth, which is from the Lord has all power, see in the work on Heaven and Hell 228-233, 539.) The like is meant by the Lord's words to the high priest:

Jesus said to the high priest, Henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven (Matthew 26:64; Mark 14:62).

"The Son of man" is the Lord as to Divine truth; "sitting at the right hand of power" is His omnipotence; "coming in the clouds of heaven" is the revelation of Divine truth respecting Him in the Word, for He has revealed Himself and has also fulfilled all things contained in the internal sense, which treats especially of the glorification of His Human.

[3] The same is signified by "clouds" in the following passages. In Daniel:

I saw in the night visions, and behold there came with the clouds of heaven, one like unto the Son of man (Daniel 7:13);

in Revelation:

I saw, and behold a white cloud; and on the cloud one sat like unto a man, 1 having on his head a crown (Revelation 14:14, 16);

in Isaiah:

Behold, Jehovah sitting upon a dense light cloud (Isaiah 19:1);

in David:

Sing unto God, sing praises to His name, extol Him that rideth upon the clouds (Psalms 68:4);

in the same:

Jehovah appointeth the clouds His chariot; He walketh upon the wings of the wind (Psalms 104:3).

Who cannot see that these things are not to be understood according to the sense of the letter, that is, that Jehovah sits upon a cloud, that He rides upon the clouds, and that He makes the clouds His chariot? He who thinks spiritually may know that Jehovah is present in His Divine truth, for this proceeds from Him, consequently that this is what is meant by "clouds there;" so it is also said that Jehovah "appointeth the clouds His chariot;" because by "chariot" is signified the doctrine of truth (See Arcana Coelestia 2762, 5321, 8215).

[4] Likewise in the following places. In Isaiah:

Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the higher clouds [pour down] righteousness (Isaiah 45:8);

in Nahum:

The way of Jehovah is with cloud 2 and storm, and clouds are the dust of His feet (Nahum 1:3);

in David:

Ascribe ye strength unto God; His excellency is over Israel, and His strength is in the higher clouds (Psalms 68:34);

A faithful witness in the clouds (Psalms 89:37);

in Moses:

There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in thy 3 magnificence upon the clouds (Deuteronomy 33:26).

From this it can be seen what is meant by:

The cloud filling the inner court (Ezekiel 10:3-4);

And the cloud resting upon the tent (repeatedly in Moses); also that:

Jesus when He was transfigured, was seen in glory, and a cloud overshadowed the three disciples, and it was said to them out of the cloud, This is my beloved son (Matthew 17:1-10; Mark 9:1-11; Luke 9:28-36).

(See also what is said about the Lord's being in a cloud in the midst of angels, in the little work on The Earths in the Universe 171.)
