Исход 12

Studie

   

1 И сказал Господь Моисею и Аарону в земле Египетской, говоря:

2 месяц сей да будет у вас началом месяцев, первым да будет он у вас между месяцами года.

3 Скажите всему обществу Израилевых: в десятый день сего месяца пусть возьмут себе каждый одного агнца по семействам, по агнцу на семейство;

4 а если семейство так мало, что не съест агнца, то пусть возьмет с соседом своим,ближайшим к дому своему, по числу душ: по той мере, сколько каждый съест, расчислитесь на агнца.

5 Агнец у вас должен быть без порока, мужеского пола, однолетний; возьмите его от овец, или от коз,

6 и пусть он хранится у вас до четырнадцатого дня сего месяца: тогда пусть заколет еговсе собрание общества Израильского вечером,

7 и пусть возьмут от крови его и помажут на обоих косяках и на перекладине дверей в домах, где будут есть его;

8 пусть съедят мясо его в сию самую ночь, испеченное на огне; с преснымхлебом и с горькими травами пусть съедят его;

9 не ешьте от него недопеченного, или сваренного в воде, но ешьте испеченное на огне, голову с ногами и внутренностями;

10 не оставляйте от него до утра; но оставшееся от него до утра сожгите на огне.

11 Ешьте же его так: пусть будут чресла ваши препоясаны, обувь ваша на ногах ваших и посохи ваши в руках ваших, и ешьте его с поспешностью: это –Пасха Господня.

12 А Я в сию самую ночь пройду по земле Египетской и поражу всякого первенца в земле Египетской, от человека до скота, и над всеми богами Египетскими произведу суд. Я Господь.

13 И будет у вас кровь знамением на домах, где вы находитесь, и увижу кровь и пройду мимо вас, и не будет между вами язвы губительной, когда буду поражать землю Египетскую.

14 И да будет вам день сей памятен, и празднуйте в оный праздник Господу во все роды ваши; как установление вечное празднуйте его.

15 Семь дней ешьте пресный хлеб; с самого первого дня уничтожьте квасное в домах ваших, ибо кто будет есть квасное с первого дня до седьмого дня, душа та истреблена будет из среды Израиля.

16 И в первый день да будет у вас священное собрание, и в седьмой день священное собрание: никакой работы не должно делать в них; только что есть каждому, одно то можно делать вам.

17 Наблюдайте опресноки, ибо в сей самый день Я вывел ополчения вашииз земли Египетской, и наблюдайте день сей в роды ваши, как установление вечное.

18 С четырнадцатого дня первого месяца, с вечера ешьте пресный хлеб до вечера двадцать первого дня того же месяца;

19 семь дней не должно быть закваски в домах ваших, ибо кто будет есть квасное, душа та истреблена будет из общества Израилевых – пришлец ли то, или природный житель земли той.

20 Ничего квасного не ешьте; во всяком местопребывании вашем ешьте пресный хлеб.

21 И созвал Моисей всех старейшин Израилевых и сказал им: выберите и возьмите себе агнцев по семействам вашим и заколите пасху;

22 и возьмите пучок иссопа, и обмочите в кровь, которая в сосуде, ипомажьте перекладину и оба косяка дверей кровью, которая в сосуде; а вы никто не выходите за двери дома своего до утра.

23 И пойдет Господь поражать Египет, и увидит кровь на перекладине и на обоих косяках, и пройдет Господь мимо дверей, и не попустит губителю войти в домы ваши для поражения.

24 Храните сие, как закон для себя и для сынов своих на веки.

25 Когда войдете в землю, которую Господь даст вам, как Он говорил,соблюдайте сие служение.

26 И когда скажут вам дети ваши: что это за служение?

27 скажите: это пасхальная жертва Господу, Который прошел мимо домов сынов Израилевых в Египте, когда поражал Египтян, идомы наши избавил. И преклонился народ и поклонился.

28 И пошли сыны Израилевы и сделали: как повелел Господь Моисею и Аарону, так и сделали.

29 В полночь Господь поразил всех первенцев в земле Египетской, отпервенца фараона, сидевшего на престоле своем, до первенца узника, находившегося в темнице, и все первородное из скота.

30 И встал фараон ночью сам и все рабы его и весь Египет; и сделался великий вопль в земле Египетской, ибо не было дома, где не было бы мертвеца.

31 И призвал фараон Моисея и Аарона ночью и сказал: встаньте, выйдите из среды народа моего, как вы, так и сыны Израилевы, и пойдите, совершите служение Господу, как говорили вы;

32 и мелкий и крупный скот ваш возьмите, как вы говорили; и пойдите и благословите меня.

33 И понуждали Египтяне народ, чтобы скорее выслать его из земли той; ибо говорили они: мы все помрем.

34 И понес народ тесто свое, прежде нежели оно вскисло; квашни их, завязанные в одеждах их, были на плечах их.

35 И сделали сыны Израилевы по слову Моисея и просили у Египтян вещей серебряных и вещей золотых и одежд.

36 Господь же дал милость народу Своему в глазах Египтян: и они давали ему, и обобрал он Египтян.

37 И отправились сыны Израилевы из Раамсеса в Сокхоф до шестисоттысяч пеших мужчин, кроме детей;

38 и множество разноплеменных людей вышли с ними, и мелкий и крупный скот, стадо весьма большое.

39 И испекли они из теста, которое вынесли из Египта, пресные лепешки, ибо оно еще не вскисло, потому что они выгнаны были из Египта и не могли медлить, и даже пищи не приготовили себе на дорогу.

40 Времени же, в которое сыны Израилевы обитали в Египте, было четыреста тридцать лет.

41 По прошествии четырехсот тридцати лет, в этот самый день вышло все ополчение Господне из земли Египетской ночью.

42 Это – ночь бдения Господу за изведение их из земли Египетской; эта самая ночь – бдение Господу у всех сынов Израилевых в роды их.

43 И сказал Господь Моисею и Аарону: вот устав Пасхи: никакой иноплеменник не должен есть ее;

44 а всякий раб, купленный за серебро, когда обрежешь его, может естьее;

45 поселенец и наемник не должен есть ее.

46 В одном доме должно есть ее, не выносите мяса вониз дома и костей ее не сокрушайте.

47 Все общество Израиля должно совершать ее.

48 Если же поселится у тебя пришлец и захочет совершить Пасху Господу, то обрежь у него всех мужеского пола, и тогда пусть он приступит к совершению ее и будет как природный житель земли; а никакой необрезанный не должен есть ее;

49 один закон да будет и для природного жителя и для пришельца, поселившегося между вами.

50 И сделали все сыны Израилевы: как повелел Господь Моисею и Аарону, так и сделали.

51 В этот самый день Господь вывел сынов Израилевых из земли Египетской по ополчениям их.

7877. 'And I will see the blood' means the discernment of that truth by those who inflict damnation. This is clear from the meaning of 'seeing' as understanding and discerning, dealt with in 2150, 2325, 2807, 3764, 4403-4421, 4567, 4723, 5400 (its being the discernment by those who inflict damnation is shown in what follows); and from the meaning of 'the blood' as truth that belongs to the good of innocence, as above in 7846.

[2] What truth belonging to the good of innocence is must be stated. The good of innocence is the good of love to the Lord; for those governed by this love have innocence within them. This explains why those who are in the inmost or third heaven, being governed by love to the Lord, possess more innocence than all others. Because of their innocence those who are there look to others like young children, and yet they are the wisest of all in heaven, see 2306; for innocence resides within wisdom, 2305, 3495, 4797. The truth belonging to the good of innocence which exists with them is not the truth of faith but the good of charity. Those in the third heaven do not know what faith is, nor consequently what the truth of faith is; for they perceive intuitively the truth that composes faith, and in perceiving it intuitively know immediately that it is indeed the truth. They never engage in reasoning about whether it is such, let alone argue with one another about it. What is perceived in that intuitive way does not then come to be acquired knowledge. It is different with spiritual angels in the second heaven. The truth of faith leads them to the good of charity. They do therefore engage in reasoning about whether it is the truth or not, since they have no intuitive perception of whether it is or not. Truths then become knowledge they have acquired and are called matters of doctrine composing faith.

[3] For more about those in the inmost or third heaven, about their state being such that they perceive intuitively what the truth of faith is and do not therefore add it to their acquired knowledge, see 202, 337, 2715, 2718, 3246, 4448.

Why it is that Jehovah's words 'I will see', thus something said about Himself, mean discernment by those who inflict damnation, that is, by spirits from hell, may become evident from what has been shown before about the attribution of evil to Jehovah or the Lord, though in fact no evil at all comes from Him but from hell, see 2447, 6071, 6991, 6997, 7533, 7632, 7643. Evil which is permitted to exist seems to come from Him who permits it, since He is able to remove it. That is how it is here when it says that the firstborn of the Egyptians were put to death. It is attributed to Jehovah, for it says in verses 12 and 29,

I will go through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt.

And it happened at midnight, that Jehovah struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from Pharaoh's firstborn who was to sit on his throne, even to the firstborn of the prisoner who was in the dungeon.

Yet in the present verse the one to do this is called 'the destroyer',

The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and I will see the blood and will pass you by, and the plague will not be on you for the destroyer.

[4] It is similar with the vastation undergone by the evil in the next life, their damnation, and their being cast into hell, which are meant in the internal sense by the plagues, the death of the firstborn, and their being drowned in the Sea Suph. Jehovah or the Lord does not subject anyone to vastation, still less damn or cast into hell. Rather an evil spirit himself is the one who does it to himself, that is, the evil within him does it. This then is why 'I will see the blood' means a discernment by those who inflict damnation.

[5] As regards permission, it is impossible to state briefly the nature of it since a very large number of arcana are involved in it. When the wicked suffer damnation and torment the Lord's permission is not like that of one who desires what happens to them. It is like that of one who does not desire it yet cannot help them because His end in view, which is the salvation of the entire human race, is urgent and prevents Him from helping. For if He were to help them, that would be doing ill, which is completely contrary to the Divine. But more on these matters will in the Lord's Divine mercy be stated elsewhere.

Arcana Coelestia # 2715

2715. Two arcana exist here, the first being that, compared with the good of the celestial man, that of the spiritual man is obscure, the second that this obscurity is brightened by light from the Lord's Divine Human. As regards the first of these - that the good residing with the spiritual man is obscure compared with the celestial man's - this may be seen from what has been stated above in 2708 about the state of the spiritual man in comparison with that of the celestial man. From a comparison of the two states the fact of that obscurity is quite evident. With those who are celestial good itself exists implanted in the will part of their mind, and from there light enters the understanding part. But with those who are spiritual the whole of the will part is corrupted, so that they have no good at all from there, and therefore the Lord implants good in the understanding part of their mind, see 863, 875, 895, 927, 928, 1023, 1043, 1044, 2124, 2256. The will part is, in the main, the part of man's mind that possesses life, whereas the understanding part receives life from the will. Since therefore the will part in the case of the spiritual man is so corrupted as to be nothing but evil, and yet evil is flowing in from there unceasingly and constantly into the understanding part, that is, into his thought, it is clear that the good there is obscure compared with the celestial man's good.

[2] As a consequence those who are spiritual do not have love to the Lord, as those who are celestial do; nor therefore does that humility exist with them which is essential in all worship and by means of which good can flow in from the Lord; for a heart that is haughty is not at all receptive, only one that is humble. Nor do those who are spiritual have love towards the neighbour, as those who are celestial do, because self-love and love of the world are constantly flowing in from the will part of their mind, bringing obscurity into the good that goes with that love towards the neighbour. This may also become clear to one who reflects from the fact that when he helps another he does so for worldly reasons; thus though he may not consciously have it in mind he is nevertheless thinking about what he will get in return either from those he helps or in the next life from the Lord, which being so his good is still defiled with merit-seeking. It may also become clear to him from the fact that when he has done anything good and is able to speak about it to others and so set himself up above others, he is in his element. But those who are celestial love the neighbour more than they love themselves, and do not ever think about repayment or in any way set themselves up above others.

[3] The good residing with those who are spiritual is in addition made obscure by persuasive beliefs that are the product of various assumptions, which likewise have their origin in self-love and love of the world. For the nature of their persuasive beliefs even in matters of faith, see 2682, 2689 (end). This too is a product of the influx of evil from the will part of their mind.

[4] It may in addition become clear that the good residing with the spiritual man is obscure compared with the celestial man's, from the fact that he does not know what truth is, as those who are celestial do, from any perception. Instead he knows what truth is from what he has learned from parents and teachers, and also from the doctrine into which he was born. And when he adds to this anything from himself and from his own thinking, it is for the most part the senses and the illusions of the senses, also the rational and the appearances present within the rational, that predominate, and these make it barely possible for him to acknowledge any pure truth like that acknowledged by those who are celestial. But in spite of this, within things that are seemingly true the Lord implants good, even though these truths are mere illusions or else appearances of truth. But this good is made obscure by such truths, for it derives its specific nature from the truths to which it is joined. It is like the light of the sun falling upon objects. The nature of the objects receiving the light causes the light to be seen within those objects in the form of colours, which are beautiful if the nature of the recipient form and the manner of its receiving are fitting and correspondent, hideous if the nature of the recipient form and the manner of its receiving are not fitting and so not correspondent. In the same way good itself acquires a specific nature from the truth [to which it is joined].

[5] The same arcanum is also evident from the fact that the spiritual man does not know what evil is. He scarcely believes that any other evils exist than actions contrary to the Ten Commandments. Of evils present in affection and thought, which are countless, he has no knowledge nor does he reflect on them or call them evils. All delights whatever that go with evil desires and pleasures he does not regard as other than good; and the actual delights that are part of self-love he both pursues, approves of, and excuses, without knowing that such things have an effect on his spirit and that he becomes altogether such in the next life.

[6] From this it is in a similar way clear that although the whole of the Word deals with scarcely any other matter than the good which goes with love to the Lord and love towards the neighbour, the spiritual man does not know that that good is the sum and substance of faith, nor even what the essential nature of love and charity is. It is also clear that though something which is a matter of faith may be known to him - faith being considered by him to be essential in itself - he nevertheless discusses whether it is true, unless he has been confirmed by much experience of life. Those who are celestial do not discuss the same because they know and have a perception that it is true hence the Lord's statement in Matthew,

Let your words be, Yes, yes; No, no; anything beyond this is from evil. 1 Matthew 5:37.

For those who are celestial are immersed in the truth itself about which those who are spiritual dispute. Consequently because those who are celestial are immersed in the truth itself, they are able to see from it numberless facets of that truth, and so from light to see so to speak heaven in its entirety. But those who are spiritual, because they dispute whether it is true, cannot - so long as they do so - arrive at the remotest boundary of the light existing with those who are celestial, let alone behold anything from their light.
