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.

9430. 'And the cloud covered it' means the lowest level of the Word, which is obscure, comparatively so. This is clear from the meaning of 'the cloud' as the lowest level of the Word or its literal sense, dealt with in the Preface to Genesis 18, and in 4060, 4391, 5922, 6343 (end), 6752, 8106, 8443, 8781. The reason why that sense is called 'the cloud' is that it lies in obscurity, compared with the inward sense; for the inward sense dwells in the light of heaven. The outward lies in obscurity and resembles a cloud because it is intended for a person while in the world, whereas the inward sense is intended for a person when he enters heaven. But it should be recognized that while a person is in the world he is at the same time guided by the inward sense of the Word if in faith and life he is guided by teachings of the Church which are authentic. For through those teachings the inward sense of the Word is inscribed at that time on both his understanding and his will, on his understanding through the faith he has and on his will through the life he leads. When such a person enters heaven he understands the Word solely according to its inward sense and ceases to know anything of its outward sense. This now seems to him to be like a cloud that swallows up rays of light it receives.

[2] The person now understands the Word, as has been said, according to its inward and not according to its outward sense. This is so because the Lord uses God's truth present with people in the world, which is the Word, to teach all who are in heaven, the reason for this being that those people live on the lowest level of order, and everything on interior levels ends in the lowest. The lowest is so to speak the support for the interior levels, which stand and rest on it. The Word in the letter is Divine Truth on the lowest level of order, in the same way as the natural and sensory level is the lowest level of order in members of the Church with whom Divine Truth is present. On this lowest level in them, as on that of the Word, interior levels terminate and rest. All this is like a house and its foundations. The actual house is heaven, and it is also Divine Truth there such as the Word is in its inward sense, while the foundations are the world and also Divine Truth there such as the Word is in its outward sense. Just as the house rests on its foundations, so too heaven rests on the Church, and consequently Divine Truth in heaven on Divine Truth on earth. For through the Word a continuous link exists from the Lord by way of heaven right down to people in the world. This is the reason why the Lord always provides for the existence of a Church on earth, where Divine Truth may exist on its lowest level. This is an arcanum unknown to anyone up to now, an arcanum implied in the matters introduced at 9357, 9360. Let everyone take care therefore not to damage the Word in any way; for those who damage it damage what is indeed Divine.
