1 И сказалъ Іегова Моисею: поди къ Фараону, и скажи ему: такъ говоритъ Іегова; отпусти народъ Мой, дабы онъ совершилъ Мнј служеніе.

2 Если же ты не согласишься отпустить: то вотъ, Я поражаю всю область твою жабами.

3 Рјка воскипитъ жабами, и онј выйдутъ, и войдутъ въ домъ твой, и въ спальню твою, и на постелю твою, и въ домы рабовъ твоихъ и народа твоего, и въ печи твои, и въ квашни твои,

4 и на тебя и на народъ твой, и на всјхъ рабовъ твоихъ взойдутъ жабы.

5 И сказалъ Іегова Моисею: скажи Аарону: простри руку твою съ посохомъ твоимъ на рјки, на потоки и на озера; и выведи жабъ на землю Египетскую.

6 Ааронъ простеръ руку свою на воды Египетскія, и вышли жабы, и покрыли землю Египетскую.

7 Тоже сдјлали и тайновјдцы обаяніями своими; и вывели жабъ на землю Египетскую.

8 И призвалъ Фараонъ Моисея и Аарона, и сказалъ: помолитесь Іеговј, чтобъ Онъ удалилъ жабъ отъ меня и отъ народа моего, а я отпущу народъ принести жертву Іеговј.

9 Моисей сказалъ Фараону: прославь себя на мнј, на какой срокъ надлежитъ мнј молиться за тебя и за рабовъ твоихъ и за народъ твой, чтобы жабы изчезли у тебя, и въ домахъ твоихъ? только въ рјкј останутся.

10 Онъ сказалъ: на завтрашній день. Моисей отвјчалъ: будетъ по слову твоему; дабы ты узналъ, что нјтъ такого, какъ Іегова Богъ нашъ.

11 И удалятся жабы отъ тебя, и отъ домовъ твоихъ, и отъ рабовъ твоихъ, и отъ твоего народа; толъко въ рјкј останутся.

12 Моисей и Ааронъ вышли отъ Фараона: и Моисей воззвалъ къ Іеговј о жабахъ, какъ положилъ съ Фараономъ.

13 И сдјлалъ Іегова по слову Моисея; жабы померли въ домахъ, и на дворахъ, и на поляхъ.

14 И собрали ихъ въ груды и возсмердјла земля.

15 Когда же Фараонъ увидјлъ, что сдјлалась отрада, то отягчилъ сердце свое, и не послушалъ ихъ, какъ и говорилъ Іегова.

16 И сказалъ Іегова Моисею: скажи Аарону: простри посохъ твой, и ударь въ персть земную; и сдјлается мошками по всей землј Египетской.

17 Такъ они и сдјлали: Ааронъ простеръ руку свою съ посохомъ своимъ, и ударилъ въ персть земную: и явились мошки на людяхъ и на скотј. Вся персть земная сдјлалась мошками по всей землј Египетской.

18 Старались также тайновјдцы обаяніяни своими произвести мошекъ, но не могли. Такимъ образомъ мошки были на людяхъ и на скотј.

19 И сказали тайновјдцы Фараону: это перстъ Божій; но сердце Фараоново ожесточилось, и онъ не послушалъ ихъ, какъ и говорилъ Іегова.

20 Потомъ Іегова сказалъ Моисею: завтра встань рано, и явись предъ лице Фараона. Вотъ, онъ пойдетъ къ водј, и ты скажи ему: такъ говоритъ Іегова: отпусти народъ Мой, чтобъ онъ совершилъ Мнј служеніе.

21 А если не отпустишь народа Моего, то вотъ, Я пошлю на тебя, и на рабовъ твоихъ, и на народъ твой, и въ домы твои, песьихъ мухъ, и наполнятся домы Египтянъ песьими мухами и самая земля, на которой они живутъ.

22 И отдамъ въ тотъ день землю Гесемъ, въ которой пребываетъ народъ Мой, такъ что тамъ не будетъ песьихъ мухъ: дабы ты узналъ, что Я Іегова среди земли.

23 Я положу раздјленіе между народомъ Моимъ, и между народомъ твоимъ. Завтра будетъ сіе знаменіе.

24 Такъ и сдјлалъ Іегова: налетјло множество песьихъ мухъ въ домъ Фараоновъ, и въ домы рабовъ его, и на всю землю Египетскую; земля сія погибала отъ песьихъ иухъ.

25 И призвалъ Фараонъ Моисея и Аарона и сказалъ: подите, принесете жертву Богу вашему въ сей землј.

26 Но Моисей сказалъ: нельзя сего сдјлать; поелику отвратительно для Египтянъ жертвоприношеніе наше Іеговј Богу нашему; если мы отвратительную для Египтянъ жертву станемъ приносить въ глазахъ ихъ: то не побьютъ ли они насъ камнями?

27 Мы пойдемъ въ пустыню, на три дня пути, и принесемъ жертву Іеговј, Богу нашему, какъ Онъ скажетъ намъ.

28 Фараонъ сказалъ: я отпущу васъ принести жертву Іеговј, Богу вашему въ пуетынј: только далеко не уходите. Помолитеся обо мнј.

29 Моисей сказалъ: вотъ я выхожу отъ тебя, и помолюся Іеговј, и удалятся песьи мухи отъ Фараона, и отъ рабовъ его, и отъ народа его завтра. Только Фараонъ пусть перестанетъ обманывать, не отпуская народа принести жертву Іеговј.

30 Моисей вышелъ отъ Фараона, и помолился Іеговј.

31 И сдјлалъ Іегова по слову Моисея, и удалилъ песьихъ мухъ отъ Фараона, отъ рабовъ его, и отъ народа его; не осталось ни одной.

32 Но Фараонъ отягчилъ сердце свое и на сей разъ, и не отпускалъ народа.

7474. 'And did not send the people away' means that they did not leave those who belonged to the spiritual Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'sending away' as leaving; and from the representation of the children of Israel, to whom 'the people' refers here, as those who belong to the spiritual Church, dealt with in 6426, 6637, 6862, 6868, 7035, 7062, 7198, 7201, 7215, 7223.

[2] With regard to the spiritual Church, represented here by the children of Israel, it should be recognized that it has an internal part and an external part, and that those people are in the internal part of the Church who are governed by the good of charity, while those are in the external part who are governed by the good of faith. People governed by the good of charity are those who out of charity towards the neighbour behold the truths of faith, whereas people governed by the good of faith are those who out of faith look towards charity. Thus the latter do good not out of affection belonging to charity but out of obedience belonging to faith, that is, because they are commanded to do it. These are precisely the ones who are represented here by the children of Israel, since they are the ones who are molested in the next life by those steeped in falsities. People who are governed by affection belonging to charity cannot be molested in the same way, for spirits who are steeped in falsities and evils cannot go near those governed by that good because the Lord is within that good. If they do suffer molestation, it involves only the illusions and appearances which have led them to believe things to be true which are not actually true, and such things as were presented by the teachings of their Church as truths but are not in fact truths. In the next life those people willingly reject falsities and accept truths, the reason being that the good of charity is receptive of truth because it loves it and is desirous of it.

[3] Since mention is made so many times of molestations what they are and what they are like must be stated. Molestations are brought about by introduction of falsity opposed to truths; but those falsities are refuted by an influx from heaven, that is, from the Lord by way of heaven, with those suffering such molestation. This kind of state is what those undergoing vastation of their falsities are held in, until they have absorbed the truths of faith, and, stage by stage, more internal truths. And in the measure that they have absorbed those truths they are released from molestation. Molestations are not temptations, since temptations when they take place involve torment of conscience. For people undergoing temptations are held in a state of damnation, which brings them torment and grief.

[4] All this shows what the vastations in the next life are like which those governed by the good of faith undergo. Those vastations are vastations of falsity. But with those who have not been governed by the good of faith, only by some truth of faith which with them is merely factual knowledge, and have led an evil life, the vastations are vastations of truth. Those who undergo vastation of falsities gradually absorb truths and forms of the good of faith and charity, whereas those who undergo vastation of truths gradually cast off truths and invest themselves with the evils which have been a feature of the life they led. From all this one may see what is meant in the Word by vastations and desolations.
