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.

8106. 'During the daytime in a pillar of cloud' means that when there was a state of enlightenment, this was moderated by a dimming of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'during the daytime' or 'in the day' as in a state of enlightenment, for the times of day - morning, midday, evening, and night - correspond to degrees of enlightenment in the next life, that is, of intelligence and wisdom, 5672, 5962, 6110, so that 'the day' is a state of enlightenment or clear perception, and 'the night' a state of unenlightenment or dimmed perception, 7680; and from the meaning of 'cloud' as a dimming of truth, since a cloud takes away the brilliance of the light from the sun and also moderates it.

[2] Various places in the Word say that Jehovah appeared in a cloud, that He was clothed with a cloud, or that 'clouds were under His feet'. In those places 'cloud' is used to mean a dimming of truth; in particular the literal sense of the Word is meant, for in comparison with the internal sense the literal sense is a dimmed presentation of truth, see the Preface to Genesis 18, and also 4391, 5922, 6343, 6752. This was meant by 'the cloud' when the Lord appeared in glory to Peter, James, and John, Luke 9:34; when He appeared to the people from Mount Sinai, and to Moses when he went in to Him there, Exodus 19:9; 20:21; 24:15-18; 34:5. The same was also meant by what the Lord declared so many times, that He would come in the clouds of heaven, Matthew 24:30; 26:63-64; Mark 13:26; 14:61-62; Luke 21:27.

[3] The literal sense of the Word is called 'a cloud' because the internal sense, which is called 'the glory', cannot be understood by anyone unless he has been regenerated and therefore enlightened. If the internal sense of the Word, or God's truth in its glory, were to appear in front of someone who has not been regenerated it would be like thick darkness in which he would see absolutely nothing, and also would leave him blind, that is, with no belief at all.

From all this one may see what the description 'a cloud during the daytime' means, namely a dimming of truth and, when it has reference to the Word, the literal sense.

[4] The expressions 'in a pillar of cloud' and 'in a pillar of fire' are used because 'a pillar' means a load-bearing support, as in Jeremiah 1:18; Psalms 75:3; Revelation 3:12; Job 9:6; and it is used to refer to the natural level, since the natural level is a kind of support or pedestal for the spiritual level. For the spiritual level terminates at the natural level and rests on it. This explains why the feet of an angel coming down from heaven looked like pillars of fire, Revelation 10:1; for the natural level is meant by 'feet', 2162, 3147, 3761, 3986, 4280, 4938-4952, 5327, 5328.
