Исход 11

Studie

   

1 И сказалъ Іегова Моисею: еще одну казнь Я наведу на Фараона и на Египтянъ; послј того онъ отпуститъ васъ отсюда. Когда же онъ будетъ отпускать, то съ поспјшностію будетъ гнать всјхъ васъ отсюда.

2 Внуши народу, чтобы каждый у ближняго своего, и каждая женщина у ближней своей выпросили вещей серебряныхъ и вещей золотыхъ.

3 Іегова далъ благодать народу въ очахъ Египтянъ; да и Моисей былъ весьма великъ въ землј Египетской, въ глазахъ рабовъ Фараоновыхъ, и въ глазахъ народа.

4 И сказалъ Моисей: такъ говоритъ Іегова: въ полночь Я пройду посреди Египта.

5 И умретъ всякій первенецъ въ землј Египетской, отъ первенца Фараона, который сидитъ на престолј своемъ, до первенца рабы, которая при жерновахъ, и все первородное изъ скота.

6 И будетъ по всей землј Египетской великій вопль, какого не бывало, и какого не будетъ болје.

7 Напротивъ у всјхъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ ни на человјка, ни на скотъ не пошевелитъ песъ языкомъ своимъ, дабы вы знали, какое Іегова дјлаетъ раздјленіе между Египтянами и между Израильтянами.

8 Тогда придутъ всј рабы твои сіи ко мнј, и поклонятся мнј, говоря: выйди ты и весь народъ, который тебј послјдуетъ. Послј чего я и выйду. И вышелъ Моисей отъ Фараона съ гнјвнымъ лицемъ.

9 И сказалъ Іегова Моисею: не послушаетъ васъ Фараонъ, и такимъ образомъ умножатся чудеса Мои въ землј Египетской.

10 Моисей и Ааронъ сдјлали всј сіи чудеса предъ Фараоеомъ. Іегова ожесточилъ сердце Фараона, и онъ не отпустилъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ изъ земли своей.

Apocalypse Explained # 688

/ 1232  
  

688. Fell upon their faces and worshipped God, signifies the adoration of the Lord with them from a most humble heart. This is evident from the signification of "to fall upon the face," as being the deepest humiliation of heart, for it is a gesture of the body corresponding to humiliation of heart, thus a gesture that is representative of the humiliation of the whole man. Worship of God at such a time is what flows forth from such a heart, which varies according to the matter that engages the mind.

[2] To fall upon the face before God is a gesture representative of deepest humiliation, because the face is the form of man's affections and thus of the interiors that pertain to his mind and disposition, for the affections shine forth in the face as in their type, and this is why the face is called an index and image of the mind. When, therefore, a man acknowledges that all things in him are turned away from God, and are consequently damned, and that thus he is neither able nor dares to look to God, who is essential Holiness, and if he should look to Him from such a self he would spiritually die, then from such thought and acknowledgment man falls upon the face to the earth; and because what is man's own [proprium] is thus removed, he is then filled by the Lord and so raised up as to be able to look to Him.

[3] They are said to have "worshipped God," for the reason that "God" means in the Word the Divine proceeding which is called the Divine truth. And as this Divine is truth with the angels, for they are the recipients of it and it constitutes their wisdom, so in the Word angels are called "gods," and signify Divine truths. Moreover, in the Hebrew, God is called "Elohim," in the plural, therefore "God" means in the Word the Divine that is with the angels of heaven and the men of the church, which is the Divine proceeding. And as the higher heavens were now in enlightenment and power, because of the separation of the evil from the good in the lower parts, and because of the Last Judgment which was to come shortly, therefore they are said "to worship God," from which it is evident that the Lord was then with them; for from a more intense and powerful influx of the Divine truth that proceeds from the Lord they had enlightenment and power.
