Исход 7

Studie

   

1 Но Іегова сказалъ Моисею: смотри, Я поставлю тебя богомъ Фараону; а Ааронъ, братъ твой, будетъ твоимъ пророкомъ.

2 Ты будешь говорить все, что Я повелю тебј: а Ааронъ братъ твой будетъ говорить Фараону, чтобы онъ отпустилъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ изъ земли своей.

3 Но Я ожесточу сердце Фараоново, и явлю множество знаменій Моихъ въ землј Египетской.

4 Фараонъ не послушаетъ васъ, и Я простру руку Мою на Египетъ. И чрезъ великіе суды выведу воинство Мое, народъ Мой, сыновъ Израилевыхъ изъ земли Египетской.

5 Тогда узнаютъ Египтяне, что Я Іегова, когда простру руку Мою на Египетъ; и выведу сыновъ Израилевыхъ изъ среды ихъ.

6 Такъ и сдјлалъ Моисей и Ааронъ; какъ повелјлъ имъ Іегова, такъ они и сдјлали.

7 Моисей былъ осмидесяти лјтъ, а Ааронъ осмидесяти трехъ лјтъ, когда начали говорить они Фараону.

8 И сказалъ Іегова Моисею и Аарону, говоря:

9 если Фараонъ скажетъ вамъ: сдјлайте чудо: то ты скажи Аарону: возьми посохъ свой, и брось предъ Фараономъ: онъ сдјлается зміемъ.

10 Моисей и Ааронъ пришли къ Фараону, и сдјлали такъ, какъ повелјлъ Іегова; и бросилъ Ааронъ посохъ свой предъ Фараономъ, и предъ рабами его, и онъ сдјлался змјемъ.

11 И призвалъ Фараонъ мудрецовъ и чародјевъ; и сдјлали сіи тайновјдцы Египетскіе тоже своими обаяніями.

12 Каждый изъ нихъ бросилъ свой посохъ, и они сдјлались змјями; но посохъ Аароновъ поглотилъ ихъ посохи.

13 Сердце Фараоново ожесточилось, и онъ не послушалъ ихъ, такъ какъ и говорилъ Іегова.

14 И сказалъ Іегова Моисею: упорно сердце Фараоново, онъ не хочетъ отпустить народъ.

15 Поди къ Фараону завтра: вотъ онъ пойдетъ къ водј, ты встрјть его на берегу рјки. Посохъ же, который превращался въ змјя, возьми въ руку твою.

16 И скажи ему: Іегова, Богъ Евреевъ, послалъ меня къ тебј, сказать: отпусти народъ Мой, чтобы онъ совершилъ Мнј служеніе въ пустынј: но вотъ, ты доселј непослушенъ.

17 Такъ говорить Іегова: изъ сего узнаешь, что Я Іегова: вотъ симъ посохомъ, который въ рукј моей, я ударю по водамъ, которыя въ рјкј, и онј превратятся въ кровь.

18 И рыба въ рјкј помретъ, и рјка возсмердйтъ, и для Египтянъ тяжело будетъ пить воду изъ рјки.

19 И сказалъ Іегова Моисею: скажи Аарону: возьми посохъ твой, и простри руку твою на воды Египтянъ: на рјки ихъ, на потоки ихъ, на озера ихъ и на всякое собраніе водъ ихъ; и превратятся въ кровь, и будетъ кровь по всей землј Египетской ,и въ деревј и въ камнј.

20 Такъ и сдјлали Моисей и Ааронъ, какъ повелјлъ Іегова. И поднялъ Ааронъ посохъ, и ударилъ по водамъ рјки предъ глазами Фараона и предъ глазами рабовъ его, и вся вода въ рјкј превратилась въ кровь.

21 И рыба въ рјкј померла, и рјка возсмердјла: и Египтяне не могли пить воды изъ рјки, и была кровь по всей землј Египетской.

22 И тайновјдцы Египетскіе обаяніями своими сдјлали тоже. И ожесточилось сердце Фараона, и не послушалъ ихъ, такъ какъ и говорилъ Іегова.

23 И оборотился Фараонъ, и пошелъ въ свой домъ; и сердце его не тронулось симъ.

24 И стали копать всј Египтяне около рјки, чтобы найдти воду для питья, потому что не могли пить воды изъ рјки.

25 И исполнилось семь дней послј того, какъ Іегова поразилъ рјку.

7272. And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart. That this signifies obstinacy from the evil of falsity, is evident from the signification of “hardening,” as being obstinacy; that it denotes from the evil of falsity, is signified by the “heart of Pharaoh,” for by “heart” in the genuine sense is signified the good of celestial love (see n. 3313, 3887, 3889), and therefore in the opposite sense it denotes infernal evil; that it denotes the evil of falsity is because by Pharaoh are represented those who are in falsity. The evil of falsity is that which takes its origin from principles of falsity, such as, for example, that men would become holy through external things, as in the case of the Israelites and Jews through sacrifices, washings, sprinkling of blood; and that they would not become holy through charity and faith; and thus that they would be holy although they lived in hatred, revenge, robbery, cruelty, and the like. These evils are called “evils of falsity,” because they take their origin from principles of falsity.

[2] Take also as an example one who believes that faith alone saves, and that works of charity effect nothing for salvation; and also of one who believes that he may be saved even in the hour of death, howsoever he had lived during the whole course of his life, and from these principles lives without any charity, in contempt of others, in enmity and hatred against everyone who does not treat him with honor, in the desire of revenge, in the lust of depriving others of their goods, in unmercifulness, cunning, and deceit. These evils also are evils of falsity, because from falsity he has persuaded himself either that they are not evils, or that if they were evils, they would nevertheless be wiped away, provided that before breathing his last he should confess from apparent confidence the mediation of the Lord, and the wiping away of sins through the passion of His cross.

[3] Take also as an example those who in supplication approach dead men as saints, and thus adore them, and also their images; the evil of this worship is evil of falsity. They who do the evil of falsity, all believe that falsity is truth, and consequently that evil is either not evil, or is not condemnatory. In like manner those who believe that sins can be pardoned by men; and also those who believe that they can be introduced into heaven, in whatsoever sins they have been, that is, in whatsoever spiritual foulness and rottenness. In a word, the evils of falsity are as many as are the falsities of faith and of worship. These evils condemn, yet not so much as do the evils which originate in evil. The evils which originate in evil are those which are from cupidity rising up from the love of self and of the world.
