Izlazak 12

Studie

   

1 I reče Gospod Mojsiju i Aronu u zemlji misirskoj govoreći:

2 Ovaj mesec da vam je početak mesecima, da vam je prvi mesec u godini.

3 Kažite svemu zboru Izrailjevom i recite: Desetog dana ovog meseca svaki neka uzme jagnje ili jare, po porodicama, po jedno na dom;

4 Ako li je dom mali za jagnje ili jare, neka uzme k sebi suseda, koji mu je najbliži, s onoliko duša koliko treba da mogu pojesti jagnje ili jare.

5 A jagnje ili jare da vam bude zdravo, muško, od godine; između ovaca ili između koza uzmite.

6 I čuvajte ga do četrnaestog dana ovog meseca, a tada savkoliki zbor Izrailjev neka ga zakolje uveče.

7 I neka uzmu krvi od njega i pokrope oba dovratka i gornji prag na kućama u kojima će ga jesti.

8 I neka jedu meso iste noći, na vatri pečeno, s hlebom presnim i sa zeljem gorkim neka jedu.

9 Nemojte jesti sirovo ni u vodi kuvano, nego na vatri pečeno, s glavom i s nogama i s drobom.

10 I ništa nemojte ostaviti do jutra; ako li bi šta ostalo do jutra, spalite na vatri.

11 A ovako jedite: opasani, obuća da vam je na nogu i štap u ruci, i jedite hitno, jer je prolazak Gospodnji.

12 Jer ću proći po zemlji misirskoj tu noć, i pobiću sve prvence u zemlji misirskoj od čoveka do živinčeta, i sudiću svim bogovima misirskim, ja Gospod.

13 A krv ona biće vam znak na kućama, u kojima ćete biti; i kad vidim krv, proći ću vas, te neće biti među vama pomora, kad stanem ubijati po zemlji misirskoj.

14 I taj će vam dan biti za spomen, i praznovaćete ga Gospodu od kolena do kolena; praznujte ga zakonom večnim.

15 Sedam dana jedite hlebove presne, i prvog dana uklonite kvasac iz kuća svojih; jer ko bi god jeo šta s kvascem od prvog dana do sedmog, istrebiće se ona duša iz Izrailja.

16 Prvi dan biće sveti sabor; tako i sedmi dan imaćete sveti sabor; nikakav posao da se ne radi u te dane, osim šta treba za jelo svakoj duši, to ćete samo gotoviti.

17 I držite dan presnih hlebova, jer u taj dan izvedoh vojske vaše iz zemlje misirske; držite taj dan od koljena do koljena zakonom večnim.

18 Prvog meseca četrnaesti dan uveče počnite jesti presne hlebove pa do dvadeset prvog dana istog meseca uveče.

19 Za sedam dana da se ne nađe kvasca u kućama vašim; jer ko bi god jeo šta s kvascem, istrebiće se ona duša iz zbora Izrailjevog, bio došljak ili rođen u zemlji.

20 Ništa s kvascem nemojte jesti, nego jedite hleb presan po svim stanovima svojim.

21 I sazva Mojsije sve starešine izrailjske, i reče im: Izberite i uzmite sebi jagnje ili jare po porodicama svojim, i zakoljite pashu.

22 I uzmite kitu isopa i zamočite je u krv, koja će biti u zdeli, i pokropite gornji prag i oba dovratka krvlju, koja će biti u zdeli, i nijedan od vas da ne izlazi na vrata kućna do jutra.

23 Jer će izaći Gospod da bije Misir, pa kad vidi krv na gornjem pragu i na oba dovratka, proći će Gospod mimo ona vrata, i neće dati krvniku da uđe u kuće vaše da ubija.

24 I držite ovo kao zakon tebi i sinovima tvojim doveka.

25 I kad dođete u zemlju koju će vam dati Gospod, kao što je kazao, držite ovu službu.

26 I kad vam kažu sinovi vaši: Kakva vam je to služba?

27 Recite: Ovo je žrtva za prolazak Gospodnji, kad prođe kuće sinova Izrailjevih u Misiru ubijajući Misirce, a domove naše sačuva. Tada narod savi glavu i pokloni se.

28 I otidoše i učiniše sinovi Izrailjevi, kako zapovedi Gospod preko Mojsija i Arona, tako učiniše.

29 A oko ponoći pobi Gospod sve prvence u zemlji misirskoj od prvenca Faraonovog koji htede sedeti na prestolu njegovom do prvenca sužnja u tamnici, i šta god beše prvenac od stoke.

30 Tada usta Faraon one noći, on i sve sluge njegove i svi Misirci, i bi vika velika u Misiru, jer ne beše kuće u kojoj ne bi mrtvaca.

31 I dozva Mojsija i Arona po noći i reče: Ustajte, idite iz naroda mog i vi i sinovi Izrailjevi, i otidite, poslužite Gospodu, kao što govoriste.

32 Uzmite i ovce svoje i goveda svoja, kao što govoriste, i idite, pa i mene blagoslovite.

33 I Misirci navaljivahu na narod da brže idu iz zemlje, jer govorahu: Izgibosmo svi.

34 I narod uze testo svoje još neuskislo, umotavši ga u haljine svoje, na ramena svoja.

35 I učiniše sinovi Izrailjevi po zapovesti Mojsijevoj, i zaiskaše u Misiraca nakita srebrnih i nakita zlatnih i haljina.

36 I Gospod učini, te narod nađe ljubav u Misiraca, te im dadoše; tako opleniše Misirce.

37 I otidoše sinovi Izrailjevi iz Ramese u Sohot, oko šest stotina hiljada pešaka, samih ljudi osim dece.

38 I drugih ljudi mnogo otide s njima, i stoke sitne i krupne vrlo mnogo.

39 I od testa koje iznesoše iz Misira ispekoše pogače presne, jer ne beše uskislo kad ih poteraše Misirci, te ne mogaše oklevati, niti spremiše sebi brašnjenice.

40 A baviše se sinovi Izrailjevi u Misiru četiri stotine i trideset godina.

41 I kad se navrši četiri stotine i trideset godina, u isti dan izađoše sve vojske Gospodnje iz zemlje misirske.

42 Ta se noćsvetkuje Gospodu, u koju ih izvede iz Misira; to je noćGospodnja, koju treba da svetkuju sinovi Izrailjevi od koljena na koljeno.

43 I reče Gospod Mojsiju i Aronu: Ovo neka bude zakon za pashu: nijedan tuđin da je ne jede;

44 A svaki sluga vaš kupljen za novce, kad ga obrežete, onda neka je jede.

45 Došljak ili najamnik da je ne jede.

46 U istoj kući da se jede, da ne iznesete mesa od nje iz kuće, i kosti da joj ne prelomite.

47 Sav zbor Izrailjev neka čini tako.

48 Ako bi kod tebe sedeo tuđin i hteo bi svetkovati pashu Gospodnju, neka mu se obrežu sve muškinje, pa onda neka pristupi da je svetkuje, i neka bude kao rođen u zemlji; a niko neobrezan da je ne jede.

49 Zakon jedan da je i rođenom u zemlji i došljaku koji sedi među vama.

50 I učiniše svi sinovi Izrailjevi kako zapovedi Gospod Mojsiju i Aronu, tako učiniše.

51 I taj dan izvede Gospod sinove Izrailjeve iz zemlje misirske u četama njihovim.

10135. 'And you shall offer the other lamb between the evenings' means a similar removal of evils in a state of light and love in the external man. This is clear from the meaning of 'offering a lamb', or sacrificing it, as being removed from evils by means of the good of innocence from the Lord, as immediately above in 10134; and from the meaning of 'between the evenings' as in a state of light and love in the external man. In the Word 'evening' means a state involving interior things when the truths of faith are set in obscurity, and forms of the good of love are in some coldness; for angels experience different states of love and light, just as in the world different times of day - morning, midday, evening, night or twilight prior to morning, and morning again - give way to one another. When the angels experience a state of love, to them it is morning, and the Lord appears before them as the rising Sun. When they experience a state of light, to them it is midday. When however they experience a state of light set in obscurity, to them it is evening; and when after this they experience a state of love set in obscurity or some coldness, for them it is night, or rather the twilight before morning.

[2] Such states experienced by the angels follow unceasingly one after another, and serve unceasingly to make them more perfect. But those changes are not due to the Sun there, to its rising and setting, but to the state of the interiors within the angels themselves; for as with people in the world they have a desire at one time to turn towards their internal interests, at another towards their external ones. When they turn towards internal interests they experience a state of love and consequently of light in clearness, and when they turn towards external interests they experience a state of love and consequently of light set in obscurity; for what is external is such, compared with what is internal. This is the origin of the changes of state experienced by angels. The reason why they have such states and such changes is that the Sun of heaven, which in that world is the Lord, is the Divine Love itself. Therefore the heat radiating from it is the good of love, and the light from it is the truth of faith. For everything radiating from that Sun has life, unlike the things radiating from the sun in the world, which are dead.

[3] From this it becomes clear what heavenly heat is and what heavenly light is, also why it is that 'heat', 'flame', and 'fire' in the Word mean the good of love, 'light' and its 'brightness' the truth of faith, and 'the sun' the Lord Himself in respect of Divine Love.

The Lord in heaven is the Sun, see 3636, 3643, 4321(end), 5097, 7078, 7083, 7171, 7173, 8812.

The heat from it is the good of love, 3338, 3339, 3636, 3693, 4018, 5215, 6032, 6314.

The light from that Sun is Divine Truth, the source of faith, intelligence, and wisdom, see the places referred to in 9548, 9684.

From all this it now becomes clear what 'morning' and what 'evening' mean.

[4] But it should be recognized that in the present verse 'the morning' implies midday as well, and evening early morning twilight as well; for when the words 'morning and evening' are used in the Word an entire day is meant, so that 'morning' includes midday, and 'evening' night or twilight. This explains why 'the morning' in the present verse means a state of love and also of light in clearness, that is, in the internal man, and 'the evening' a state of light, as well as of love in obscurity, that is, in the external man.

[5] The fact that 'between the evenings' is not used to mean the period of time between the evening of one day and the evening of the next day, but the time between evening and morning, thus all of the night or twilight, is evident from the consideration that the continual burnt offering of a lamb was presented not only in the evening but also in the morning. From this it becomes clear that something similar is meant elsewhere by 'between the evenings', for example, where it says that the Passover should be kept between the evenings, Exodus 12:6; Numbers 9:5, 11, which is explained in yet another place by the following words,

You shall sacrifice the Passover in the evening when the sun goes down, at the fixed time of the departure from Egypt. After that you shall cook and eat it in the place which Jehovah your God will have chosen; and in the morning you shall turn 1 and go into your tents. Deuteronomy 16:6-7.

[6] The fact that 'evening' in general means a state of light shining in obscurity is clear in Jeremiah,

Arise, and let us go up into the south. Woe to us, for the day goes away, for the shadows of evening are set at an angle! Arise, and let us go up at night, and let us destroy the palaces. Jeremiah 6:4-5.

Here 'evening' and 'night' mean the last times of the Church, when all matters of faith and love have been destroyed. In Zechariah,

There will be one day, which is known to Jehovah, when around evening time there will be light. On that day living waters will go out from Jerusalem. And Jehovah will be King over all the earth. Zechariah 14:7-9.

This refers to the Lord's Coming. The end of the Church is meant by 'evening time'; 'light' is the Lord's Divine Truth. A similar example occurs in Daniel,

The holy one said to me, Up to the evening, [when it is becoming] the morning, two thousand three hundred times. Daniel 8:13-14.
