Izlazak 13

Studie

   

1 I reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

2 Posveti mi svakog prvenca, šta god otvara matericu u sinova Izrailjevih, i od ljudi i od stoke; jer je moje.

3 I Mojsije reče narodu: Pamtite ovaj dan, u koji iziđoste iz Misira, iz doma ropskog, jer vas rukom krepkom izvede Gospod odande; neka se dakle ne jede ništa s kvascem.

4 Danas izlazite, meseca Aviva;

5 Pa kad te Gospod uvede u zemlju hananejsku i hetejsku i amorejsku i jevejsku i jevusejsku, za koju se zakleo ocima tvojim da će ti je dati, zemlju u kojoj teče mleko i med, tada da služiš službu ovu ovog meseca;

6 Sedam dana jedi hlebove presne, a sedmi dan neka je praznik Gospodnji.

7 Hlebovi presni da se jedu sedam dana, i da se ne vidi u tebe ništa s kvascem, niti da se vidi u tebe kvasac u celom kraju tvom.

8 I kazaćeš sinu svom u taj dan govoreći: Ovo je za ono što mi je učinio Gospod kad sam izlazio iz Misira.

9 I neka ti bude kao znak na ruci tvojoj i kao spomen pred očima tvojim, da ti zakon Gospodnji bude u ustima; jer te je rukom krepkom izveo Gospod iz Misira.

10 Zato vrši zakon ovaj na vreme, od godine do godine.

11 I kad te uvede Gospod u zemlju hananejsku, kao što se zakleo tebi i tvojim ocima, i da ti je,

12 Odvajaćeš Gospodu šta god otvara matericu, i od stoke tvoje šta god otvara matericu, šta je muško, da bude Gospodu.

13 A svako magare prvenče otkupi jagnjetom ili jaretom; ako li ga ne bi otkupio, slomi mu vrat. Ali svakog prvenca čovečjeg između sinova svojih otkupi.

14 A kad te zapita sin tvoj unapred govoreći: Šta je to? Reci mu: Rukom krepkom izvede nas Gospod iz Misira, iz doma ropskog.

15 Jer kad otvrdnu Faraon, te nas ne hte pustiti, pobi Gospod sve prvence u zemlji misirskoj od prvenca čovečjeg do prvenca od stoke; zato prinosim Gospodu sve muško što otvara matericu, a svakog prvenca sinova svojih otkupljujem.

16 I to neka ti je kao znak na ruci i kao počeonik među očima tvojim, da nas je rukom krepkom izveo Gospod iz Misira.

17 A kad Faraon pusti narod, ne odvede ih Bog putem k zemlji filistejskoj, ako i beše kraći, jer Bog reče: Da se ne pokaje narod kad vidi rat, i ne vrati se u Misir.

18 Nego Bog zavede narod putem preko pustinje na Crvenom Moru. A vojničkim redom iziđoše sinovi Izrailjevi iz zemlje misirske.

19 I Mojsije uze kosti Josifove sa sobom; jer beše zakleo sinove Izrailjeve rekavši: Zaista će vas pohoditi Bog, a tada iznesite kosti moje odavde sa sobom.

20 Tako otišavši iz Sohota stadoše u logor u Etamu, nakraj pustinje.

21 A Gospod iđaše pred njima danju u stupu od oblaka vodeći ih putem, a noću u stupu od ognja svetleći im, da bi putovali danju i noću.

22 I ne uklanjaše ispred naroda stup od oblaka danju ni stup od ognja noću.

8098. 'And God led the people around by the way of the wilderness' means that under Divine guidance they were led by means of temptations to a firm acceptance of the truths and forms of the good of faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'God led' as providence, as above in 8093, or what amounts to the same thing, as Divine guidance; and from the meaning of 'by the way of the wilderness' as a way that leads people to undergo temptations and so to reach a firm acceptance of the truths and forms of the good of faith since temptations are the means by which they become firmly accepted. 'The wilderness' means a place which is uninhabited and uncultivated, dealt with in 2708, in the spiritual sense a situation in which there is no good or truth, and also a situation in which truth has not yet been bonded to good. That being so, 'the wilderness' means the state of those with whom the two are to be bonded together; but since the bonding is not accomplished except by means of temptations, these also are meant. Temptations are meant when the number forty is included, which can be forty years, forty months, or forty days. For 'forty' means temptations and their duration, however long that may be, 730, 862, 2272, 2273. These things are meant by the travels of the children of Israel in the wilderness for forty years; the temptations they underwent are also described. The fact that they were led into the wilderness to undergo temptations and in so doing to represent them is evident from the following words in Moses,

You shall remember all the way in which Jehovah your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, in order that He might afflict you, in order that He might tempt you, in order that He might know what is in your heart. He fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know, in order that He might afflict you, in order that He might tempt you, to do good to you in your descendants. Deuteronomy 8:2, 16.

Because 'forty' meant temptations and their durations, and 'the wilderness' meant the states of people undergoing them, the Lord too, when He was tempted, went out into the wilderness and was there for forty days, Matthew 4:1-2, and following verses; Luke 4:1-2, and following verses; Mark 1:12-13.
