Исход 13

1 И говорилъ Іегова Моисею, и сказалъ:

2 освяти Мнј каждаго первенца, разверзающаго всякія ложесна между сынами Израилевыми, отъ человјка до скота: это Мое.

3 И сказадъ Моисей народу: помните сей день, въ который вышли вы изъ Египта. изъ дома рабства; ибо рукою крјпкою Іегова вывелъ васъ оттолј, и не јшьте кислаго.

4 Теперь выходите вы въ мјсяцј Авивј.

5 И когда введетъ тебя Іегова въ землю Хананеевъ, и Хеттеевъ, и Аморреевъ, и Хиввеевъ, и Іевусеевъ, которую дать тебј клялся Онъ отцамъ твоимъ, въ землю, гдј течетъ молоко и медъ; то въ семъ мјсяцј совершай сіе служеніе.

6 Семь дней јшь прјсный хлјбъ, и въ седъмый день праздникъ Іеговј.

7 Прјсный хлјбъ јшь семь дней; такъ чтобы не видно было у тебя кислаго, и не видно было у тебя кваснаго во всемъ предјлј твоемъ.

8 И возвјсти въ день тотъ сыну твоему, говоря: это въ память того, что сотворилъ Іегова со мною, когда вышелъ изъ Египта.

9 И да будетъ тебј сіе знакомъ на рукј твоей, и памятникомъ предъ очами твоими, дабы законъ Іеговы былъ въ устахъ твоихъ; ибо рукою крјпкою вывелъ тебя Іегова изъ Египта.

10 Итакъ по установленію сему исполняй въ назначенное время изъ года въ годъ.

11 И когда введетъ тебя Іегова въ землю Ханаанскую, какъ Онъ клялся тебј и отцамъ твоимъ, и дастъ тебј ее,

12 представляй Іеговј все разверзающее ложесна, также и все первородное изъ скота, какой у тебя будетъ мужескаго пола, посвящай Іеговј.

13 Но все разверзающее утробу осла выкупай агнцемъ; а если не выкупишь, убей его, и каждаго первенца человјческаго изъ сыновъ твоихъ выкупай.

14 И если въ послјдующее время спроситъ тебя сынъ твой, говоря: что это значитъ? то скажи ему: рукою крјпкою вывелъ насъ Іегова изъ Египта, изъ дома рабства.

15 Ибо, когда Фараонъ упорствовалъ отпустить насъ, Іегова умертвилъ всјхъ первенцевъ въ землј Египетской, отъ первенца человјческаго до первенца изъ скота; посему я приношу въ жертву Іеговј все разверзающее ложесна мужескаго пола, а всякаго первенца изъ сыновъ моихъ выкупаю.

16 И да будетъ сіе знакомъ на рукј твоей, и вмјсто повязки надъ глазами твоими; ибо рукою крјпкою Іегова вывелъ насъ изъ Египта.

17 Когда же Фараонъ отпустилъ народъ, Богъ не повелъ ихъ по дорогј земли Филистимской, потому что она близка; ибо сказалъ Богъ: чтобы не раскаялся народъ увидјвъ войну, и не возвратился въ Египетъ.

18 И обвелъ Богъ народъ дорогою пустынною къ Чермному морю. И вышли сыны Израилевы изъ земли Египетской въ военномъ порядкј.

19 И взялъ Моисей съ собою кости Іосифа; ибо Іосифъ клятвою заклялъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ, сказавъ: непремјнно посјтитъ васъ Богъ, и вы съ собою вынесите кости мои отсюда.

20 И двинулись изъ Сокхоѕа, и расположились станомъ въ Еѕамј, въ концј пустыни.

21 И шелъ Іегова предъ ними днемъ въ столпј облачномъ, иоказывая имъ путь, а ночью въ столпј огненномъ, свјтя имъ, дабы можно было идти и днемъ и ночью.

22 Столпъ облачный днемъ, и столпъ огненный ночью не скрывался отъ глазъ народа.

8099. 'The Sea Suph' means the damnation which they first had to pass through. This is clear from the meaning of 'the Sea Suph' as the hell where those spirits are who are governed by faith separated from charity and lead a life of evil; and since 'the Sea Suph' means hell it also means damnation. The reason why they first had to pass through damnation is this: There were people belonging to the spiritual Church who were held back on the lower earth until the Lord's Coming, where they were molested by those governed by faith separated from charity. These have been the subject in the preceding chapters. When those people were delivered from that place they were not raised to heaven immediately. Before this they were led into a second state - a state of purification, which is a state of temptations. For truths and forms of the good of faith can be neither firmly accepted nor bonded together without temptations; and until these had been firmly accepted and bonded together those people could not be raised into heaven. These things were represented by the children of Israel, by their not being led straightaway into the land of Canaan but living first in the wilderness, where they remained for forty years, undergoing various temptations, which are described in the books of Moses.

[2] In regard to this matter, that they first passed through the Sea Suph, which means the hell of those who are governed by separated faith and lead an evil life, thus that they first passed through the middle of damnation, it should be recognized that this hell is situated deep down out in front beneath the adulterers' hells, stretching rather widely towards the left. It is separated from the adulterers' hells by waters like those of the sea on the right there, but higher up, is the place where those governed by the truth of faith but not by the good of faith are gathered - those meant by 'the Philistines', who are referred to just above in 8096. But the lower earth, the region where those who suffer molestation are, is beneath the soles of the feet, slightly out in front. Those who are delivered from molestation are not led towards the right since the ones meant by the Philistines are there. Instead they are led towards the left, through the midst of the hell that has been mentioned and they come out on the left, where there is a kind of wilderness. I have been allowed on two occasions to see that this is the way which they pass through when rescued from molestations. As they pass through they are protected by the Lord in such a way that nothing bad at all can touch them, let alone any damnation. For they are encompassed by a pillar of angels with whom the Lord is present.

[3] This is represented by the passage of the children of Israel through the Sea Suph. Such was also meant by the following in Isaiah,

Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah. Were You not that which dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, which made the deep places of the sea a road, in order that the redeemed might pass through? Isaiah 51:9-10.

'The arm of Jehovah' is the Lord's Divine Human. 'The waters of the great deep' and 'the depths of the sea' are the hell in which those live who are governed by faith separated from charity and lead a life of evil. The waters like those of the sea beneath which they live are falsities; for in the next life falsities appear as thick, dark clouds, and also as deluges of water, 739, 4423, 7307. The redeemed who were to pass through them are those whom the Lord has delivered.

[4] In the same prophet,

Jehovah remembered the days of old, Moses, [and] His people, [saying,] Where is He who caused them to come up out of the sea with the shepherd of His flock? Where is He who put the spirit of His holiness in the midst of them? Isaiah 63:11.

In this prophetic utterance 'Moses' is used to mean the Lord, who is also 'the shepherd of the flock'. 'The people whom He caused to come up out of the sea' are those who were delivered from damnation. In Jeremiah,

At the noise of their fall the earth shook; [as for their] cry, the noise of it was heard in the Sea Suph. Jeremiah 49:21.

'The Sea Suph' stands for hell, for Edom and its damnation is the subject there. It says that the noise of it was heard coming out of the Sea Suph, when yet they were not the ones who were drowned in that sea but the Egyptians. From this it is evident that 'the Sea Suph' means hell and damnation 'Edom' there means those who are led by the evil of self-love to reject the truths taught by doctrine and to embrace falsities, 3322.

From all this one may now see what is meant in the representative internal sense by 'the sea Suph', and what is meant by the passage through it of the children of Israel and the drowning in it of the Egyptians, events described in the next chapter.
