Izlazak 2

Studie

   

1 A neko od plemena Levijevog otide i oženi se kćerju Levijevom.

2 I ona zatrudne i rodi sina; i videći ga lepog krijaše ga tri meseca.

3 A kad ga ne može više kriti, uže kovčežićod site, i obli ga smolom i paklinom, i metnu dete u nj, i odnese ga u trsku kraj reke.

4 A sestra njegova stade podalje da vidi šta će biti od njega.

5 A kći Faraonova dođe da se kupa u reci, i devojke njene hodahu kraj reke; i ona ugleda kovčežiću trsci, i posla dvorkinju svoju te ga izvadi.

6 A kad otvori, vide dete, i gle, dete plakaše; i sažali joj se, i reče: To je jevrejsko dete.

7 Tada reče sestra njegova kćeri Faraonovoj: Hoćeš li da idem da ti dozovem dojkinju Jevrejku, da ti doji dete?

8 A kći Faraonova reče joj: Idi. I otide devojčica, i dozva mater detinju.

9 I kći Faraonova reče joj: Uzmi ovo dete, i odoj mi ga, a ja ću ti platiti. I uze žena dete i odoji ga.

10 A kad dete odraste, odvede ga ka kćeri Faraonovoj, a ona ga posini; i nadede mu ime Mojsije govoreći: Jer ga iz vode izvadih.

11 I kad Mojsije beše velik, izađe k braći svojoj, i gledaše nevolju njihovu. I vide gde nekakav Misirac bije čoveka Jevrejina između braće njegove.

12 I obazrev se i tamo i amo, kad vide da nema nikoga, ubi Misirca, i zakopa ga u pesak.

13 I sutradan izađe opet, a to se dva Jevrejina svađahu, i reče onom koji činjaše krivo: Zašto biješ bližnjeg svog?

14 A on reče: Ko je tebe postavio knezom i sudijom nad nama? Hoćeš li da me ubiješ kao što si ubio Misirca? Tada se Mojsije uplaši i reče: Zaista se doznalo.

15 I Faraon čuvši za to tražaše da pogubi Mojsija. Ali Mojsije pobeže od Faraona i dođe u zemlju madijansku, i sede kod jednog studenca.

16 A sveštenik madijanski imaše sedam kćeri, i one dođoše i stadoše zahvatati vodu i nalivati u pojila da napoje stado oca svog.

17 A dođoše pastiri, i oteraše ih; a Mojsije usta i odbrani ih, i napoji im stado.

18 I one se vratiše k ocu svom Raguilu; a on reče: Što se danas tako brzo vratiste?

19 A one rekoše: Jedan Misirac odbrani nas od pastira, i nali nam i napoji stado.

20 A on reče kćerima svojim: Pa gde je? Zašto ostaviste tog čoveka? Zovite ga da jede.

21 I Mojsije se skloni da živi kod onog čoveka, i on dade Mojsiju kćer svoju Seforu.

22 I ona rodi sina, i on mu nadede ime Girsam, jer sam, reče, došljak u zemlji tuđoj.

23 A posle mnogo vremena umre car misirski; i uzdisahu od nevolje sinovi Izrailjevi i vikahu; i vika njihova radi nevolje dođe do Boga.

24 I Bog ču uzdisanje njihovo, i opomenu se Bog zaveta svog s Avramom, s Isakom i s Jakovom.

25 I pogleda Bog na sinove Izrailjeve, i vide ih.

6765. 'And he said to the one in the wrong, Why are you striking your companion?' means a rebuke, deploring that one person should wish to destroy another's faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'the one in the wrong' as a person who does not uphold the truth of faith and yet is within the Church (for within the Church there are those who uphold the truth of faith and there are those who do not, as the existence of various heresies goes to prove; and those who subscribe to heresy, that is, who do not uphold the truth of faith, are meant here by 'the one in the wrong'); from the meaning of 'striking' as destroying, as above in 6758; and from the meaning of 'companion' as a person who upholds the truth of faith. For when 'the one in the wrong' means a person who does not uphold the truth of faith, 'companion' means one who does uphold it. The word 'companion' is used, not 'brother', even though both of them were Hebrews, because they were hostile to each other. The fact that this is a rebuke is self-evident. What all this implies is that when a person is being regenerated he is sent into battles against falsities. During these the Lord maintains him in truth, but in what he has convinced himself to be the truth; and this is what is used in the battles against falsity. Even that which is not the real truth can be used, provided that it is such as can in some way be joined to good. And it is joined to good through innocence, for innocence is the means which enables that conjunction to be effected. This explains why people within the Church who have accepted any teaching whatever can be regenerated, though those who are in possession of real truths are in a better position than others.
