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.

6806. 'And God knew them' means that He endowed it with charity. This is clear from the meaning of 'knowing' - when used in reference to God, that is, to the Lord - as endowing with charity. For charity is what joins the Lord and man together and what causes the Lord to be present with him and consequently know him. The Lord, it is true, knows all people everywhere; but He knows none in the way a father does his children except those who are governed by the good of love and charity.

[2] This explains why the Lord says of those who are governed by good, whom He calls His own sheep,

I am the good Shepherd; and I know those who are My own, and am known by those who are My own. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. John 10:14, 27.

But the Lord says of those who are governed by evil that He does not know them in Matthew,

Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by Your name, and by Your name cast out demons, and do many mighty works in Your name? But then I will declare to them, ! do not know you; depart from Me, you workers of iniquity. Matthew 7:22-23.

In the same gospel,

At length the remaining virgins came also, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But He replying said, Truly, I say to you, I do not know you. Matthew 25:11-12.

In Luke,

Once the Householder has risen up and shut the door, then you will begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But He replying will say to you, ! do not know where you come from. Then you will begin to say, We ate in Your presence and we drank; and You taught in our streets. But He will say, I tell you, I do not know where you come from; depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity! Luke 13:25-27.

[3] From this it is evident that the expression 'being known', when used by the Lord, means being governed by the good of charity, that is, being endowed with that good; for the good of charity comes entirely from the Lord. And the expression 'not being known' means being governed by evil. 'Knowing' implies being joined together; and how far a person is said to be known by the Lord depends on how far he has become joined to Him. The Lord does also know those who have not become joined, indeed He knows the tiniest details of every individual person, John 2:24-25; but because those people are governed by evil they experience a different kind of presence, which is more like absence. This does not mean that the Lord is absent; rather, the person or the spirit governed by evil is the one who is absent, and that absence is what the Lord's not knowing them describes. Something comparable to this occurs among angels and spirits whose states of life are like one another's; they appear to be near one another and so they know one another. But those whose states of life are not alike appear to be distant from one another and for that reason do not know one another either. In short similarity of state causes people in the next life to be visibly present and to be known, while dissimilarity of state causes them to be absent to the sight and not to be known.
