Исход 6

Studie

   

1 И сказал Господь Моисею: теперь увидишь ты, что Я сделаю с фараоном; по действию руки крепкой он отпустит их; по действию руки крепкой даже выгонит их из земли своей.

2 И говорил Бог Моисею и сказал ему: Я Господь.

3 Являлся Я Аврааму, Исааку и Иакову с именем „Бог Всемогущий", а с именем Моим „Господь" не открылся им;

4 и Я поставил завет Мой с ними, чтобы дать им землю Ханаанскую, землю странствования их, в которой они странствовали.

5 И Я услышал стенание сынов Израилевых о том, что Египтяне держат их в рабстве, и вспомнил завет Мой.

6 Итак скажи сынам Израилевым: Я Господь, и выведу вас из-под ига Египтян, и избавлю вас от рабства их, и спасу вас мышцею простертою и судами великими;

7 и приму вас Себе в народ и буду вам Богом, и вы узнаете, что Я Господь, Бог ваш, изведший вас из-под ига Египетского;

8 и введу вас в ту землю, о которой Я, подняв руку Мою, клялся дать ее Аврааму, Исааку и Иакову, и дам вам ее в наследие. Я Господь.

9 Моисей пересказал это сынам Израилевым; но они не послушали Моисея по малодушию и тяжести работ.

10 И сказал Господь Моисею, говоря:

11 войди, скажи фараону, царю Египетскому, чтобы он отпустил сынов Израилевых из земли своей.

12 И сказал Моисей пред Господом, говоря: вот, сыны Израилевы не слушают меня; как же послушает меня фараон? а я не словесен.

13 И говорил Господь Моисею и Аарону, и давал им повеления к сынам Израилевым и к фараону, царю Египетскому, чтобы вывести сынов Израилевых из земли Египетской.

14 Вот начальники поколений их: сыны Рувима, первенца Израилева: Ханох и Фаллу, Хецрон и Харми: это семейства Рувимовы.

15 Сыны Симеона: Иемуил и Иамин, и Огад, и Иахин, и Цохар, и Саул,сын Хананеянки: это семейства Симеона.

16 Вот имена сынов Левия по родам их: Гирсон и Кааф и Мерари. А лет жизни Левия было сто тридцать семь.

17 Сыны Гирсона: Ливни и Шимеи с семействами их.

18 Сыны Каафовы: Амрам и Ицгар, и Хеврон, и Узиил. А лет жизниКаафа было сто тридцать три года.

19 Сыны Мерари: Махли и Муши. Это семейства Левия по родам их.

20 Амрам взял Иохаведу, тетку свою, себе в жену, и она родила емуАарона и Моисея. А лет жизни Амрама было сто тридцать семь.

21 Сыны Ицгаровы: Корей и Нефег и Зихри.

22 Сыны Узииловы: Мисаил и Елцафан и Сифри.

23 Аарон взял себе в жену Елисавету, дочь Аминадава, сестру Наассона, и она родила ему Надава и Авиуда, Елеазара и Ифамара.

24 Сыны Корея: Асир, Елкана и Авиасаф: это семейства Кореевы.

25 Елеазар, сын Аарона, взял себе в жену одну из дочерей Футииловых, и она родила ему Финееса. Вот начальники поколений левитских по семействам их.

26 Аарон и Моисей, это – те, которым сказал Господь: выведите сынов Израилевых из земли Египетской по ополчениям их.

27 Они-то говорили фараону, царю Египетскому, чтобы вывести сынов Израилевых из Египта; это – Моисей и Аарон.

28 Итак в то время, когда Господь говорил Моисею в земле Египетской,

29 Господь сказал Моисею, говоря: Я Господь! скажи фараону, царю Египетскому, все, что Я говорю тебе.

30 Моисей же сказал пред Господом: вот, я несловесен: как же послушает меня фараон?

7090. 'And said to Pharaoh' means an admonition [from them] to those who are opposed to the Church's truths. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' - since it came by Divine command from Moses and Aaron - as an admonition, as also in 7033; and from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as factual knowledge that is opposed to the Church's truths, dealt with in 6651, 6673, 6683, thus people who are opposed to them. Here and in what follows the subject is those belonging to the spiritual Church who were saved through the Lord's Coming into the world but who before His Coming had been held back on the lower earth, where they were harassed by falsities, that is, by those from hell steeped in falsities stemming from evil. That lower earth is situated below the soles of the feet and is surrounded by hells - in front of it those who have falsified truths and adulterated forms of good; to the right those who pervert Divine order and thereby strive to obtain power; to the rear the evil genii who, motivated by self-love, have secretly devised evil against their neighbour; and deep down underneath those who have rejected the Divine with utter contempt and worshipped nature, and in so doing have banished from themselves everything spiritual. Such are the hells surrounding those on the lower earth, where before the Lord's Coming people belonging to the spiritual Church were held in safe keeping. Though they were molested there the Lord protected them, and they were brought into heaven with the Lord when He rose again. See what has been stated and shown already regarding these people in 6854, 6865, 6914, 6945, 7035.

[2] The lower earth where those who belonged to the spiritual Church were held in safe keeping up to the Lord's Coming is mentioned a number of times in the Word, as in Isaiah,

Sing, O heavens, for Jehovah has done [it]! Shout, you lower parts of the earth! Be filled, O mountains, with singing, O forest and every tree in it! For Jehovah has redeemed Jacob, and made Himself glorious in Israel. Isaiah 44:23.

This refers to those on the lower earth, to the fact that they were saved by the Lord. 'Jacob' and 'Israel' are the spiritual Church, 'Jacob' being the external Church, 'Israel' the internal Church, 3305, 4286, 6426. In Ezekiel,

I will cause you to go down with those going down to the pit, to the people of old, 1 and I will cause you to dwell in the land of the lower ones in desolations. Ezekiel 16:20.

In the same prophet,

. . . to the lower earth in the midst of the sons of men, to those going down to the pit. Consequently all the trees of Eden, the choicest and the most excellent of Lebanon, all those drinking water, will comfort themselves on the lower earth. Ezekiel 31:14, 16.

This refers to the lower earth where those who belonged to the spiritual Church were.

[3] At the present day too those belonging to the Church who have filled their minds with worldly and also earthly ideas and have acted in such a way that the truths of faith have become tied up with them are sent down to the lower earth, where they likewise have battles to fight. These battles continue until their worldly and earthly ideas have been separated from the truths of faith and other notions have been introduced, of such a nature that they cannot be linked together any longer. Once this has been accomplished those people are raised from there into heaven; for until such ideas of theirs have been removed they cannot possibly be in the company of angels, since those ideas are full of darkness and defilement that do not accord with the light and purity of heaven. Those worldly and earthly ideas cannot be separated and removed except by means of battles against falsities, battles which take place in the following manner: Those on that lower earth are molested by illusions and by falsities based on them which emanate from inhabitants of the surrounding hells; but the Lord employs heaven to rebut those illusions and falsities and at the same time to introduce truths. These truths seem to reside with those undergoing the conflicts.

[4] All this being so, the spiritual Church ought to be spoken of as a militant Church. But at the present day it is rarely militant with anyone in the world; for while a member of the Church is living in the world he does not experience conflict, because of the wicked crowded around him and because of the weakness of the flesh in which he lives. In the next life a person may be held firmly by the bonds of conscience, but not so in the world, for if in the world he is subjected to any degree of despair, as normally happens to those undergoing conflicts, he instantly breaks those bonds. And if he breaks them he gives in; and if he gives in he is done for so far as his salvation is concerned. This explains why the Lord allows few within the Church at the present day to enter into battles against falsities on behalf of truths; those battles are spiritual temptations. See also what has been shown already regarding the lower earth and vastations that take place there, in 4728, 4940-4951, 6854.
