Izlazak 3

Studie

   

1 A Mojsije pasaše stado Jotoru tastu svom, svešteniku madijanskom, i odvede stado preko pustinje, i dođe na goru Božiju Horiv.

2 I javi mu se anđeo Gospodnji u plamenu ognjenom iz kupine. I pogleda, a to kupina ognjem gori a ne sagoreva.

3 I Mojsije reče: Idem da vidim tu utvaru veliku, zašto ne sagoreva kupina.

4 A Gospod kad ga vide gde ide da vidi, viknu ga Bog iz kupine, i reče: Mojsije! Mojsije! A on odgovori: Evo me.

5 A Bog reče: Ne idi ovamo. Izuj obuću svoju s nogu svojih, jer je mesto gde stojiš sveta zemlja.

6 Još reče: Ja sam Bog oca tvog, Bog Avramov, Bog Isakov i Bog Jakovljev. A Mojsije zakloni lice svoje, jer ga strah beše gledati u Boga.

7 I reče Gospod: Dobro videh nevolju naroda svog u Misiru, i čuh viku njegovu od zla koje mu čine nastojnici, jer poznah muku njegovu.

8 I siđoh da ga izbavim iz ruku misirskih, i da ga izvedem iz one zemlje u zemlju dobru i prostranu, u zemlju gde mleko i med teče, na mesto gde su Hananeji i Heteji i Amoreji i Ferezeji i Jeveji i Jevuseji.

9 I sada evo vika sinova Izrailjevih dođe preda me, i videh muku, kojom ih muče Misirci.

10 Sada hajde da te pošaljem k Faraonu, da izvedeš narod moj, sinove Izrailjeve, iz Misira.

11 A Mojsije reče Bogu: Ko sam ja da idem k Faraonu i da izvedem sinove Izrailjeve iz Misira?

12 A Bog mu reče: Ja ću biti s tobom, i ovo neka ti bude znak da sam te ja poslao: kad izvedeš narod iz Misira, služićete Bogu na ovoj gori.

13 A Mojsije reče Bogu: Evo, kad otidem k sinovima Izrailjevim, pa im kažem: Bog otaca vaših posla me k vama, ako mi kažu: Kako Mu je ime? Šta ću im kazati?

14 A Gospod reče Mojsiju: Ja sam Onaj što jeste. I reče: Tako ćeš kazati sinovima Izrailjevim: Koji jeste, On me posla k vama.

15 I opet reče Bog Mojsiju: Ovako kaži sinovima Izrailjevim: Gospod Bog otaca vaših, Bog Avramov, Bog Isakov i Bog Jakovljev, posla me k vama; to je ime moje doveka, i to je spomen moj od kolena na koleno.

16 Idi, i skupi starešine izrailjske, pa im reci: Gospod Bog otaca vaših javi mi se, Bog Avramov, Isakov i Jakovljev, govoreći: Doista obiđoh vas, i videh kako vam je u Misiru.

17 Pa rekoh: Izvešću vas iz nevolje misirske u zemlju hananejsku i hetejsku i amorejsku i ferezejsku i jevejsku i jevusejsku, u zemlju gde teče mleko i med.

18 I oni će poslušati glas tvoj; pa ćeš ti i starešine izrailjske otići k caru misirskom, i reći ćete mu: Gospod Bog jevrejski srete nas, pa ti se molimo da izađemo tri dana hoda u pustinju da prinesemo žrtvu Gospodu Bogu svom.

19 A ja znam da vam neće dopustiti car misirski da izađete bez ruke krepke.

20 Ali ću pružiti ruku svoju, i udariću Misir svim čudesima svojim, koja ću učiniti u njemu: i posle će vas pustiti.

21 I učiniću da narod nađe ljubav u Misiraca, pa kad pođete, nećete poći prazni;

22 Nego će svaka žena zaiskati u susede svoje i u domaćice svoje nakita srebrnog i nakita zlatnog i haljina; i metnućete na sinove svoje i na kćeri svoje, i oplenićete Misir.

6998. 'And He said, Is there not Aaron your brother, the Levite?' means teachings that present what is good and true. This is clear from the representation of 'Aaron' as the Lord's Divine Goodness or His Priesthood; but here, before his introduction into the priesthood, he represents teachings that present what is good and true. This is also the reason why it says that he will be for Moses 'as a mouth', and Moses will be for him 'as a god'; for 'Moses' represents the Lord's Divine Truth as it goes forth directly from the Lord, and therefore 'Aaron' represents Divine Truth that goes forth from the Lord in an indirect way. And this truth consists in teachings that present what is good and true. The kind of truth that 'Moses' represents here is truth that a person is unable to hear or discern, 6982; but the kind of truth that 'Aaron' represents is truth he can hear and discern. This is why Aaron is called 'a mouth' and Moses is called 'his god'. It also explains why Aaron is referred to as 'the Levite', for Levite' means the Church's teachings presenting what is good and true, teachings which are of use and service to the priesthood.

6982. 'I am not a man of words' means that he is lacking in speech. This is clear from the meaning of 'a man of words' as the fact that he is not an able speaker, and so is lacking in speech. What all this entails must be stated. The subject here in the highest sense is the Lord, for 'Moses' represents the Lord in respect of the law of God, thus in respect of God's truth. Truth that goes forth directly from the Divine cannot be heard by anyone, not even by any angel; if what is Divine is to be heard it must first be made human, and it is made human when it passes through the heavens. When it has passed through the heavens it is presented in a human form and becomes speech, speech which is uttered by spirits who, while they are in that state, are called the Holy Spirit. But the Holy Spirit is said to come forth from the Divine because what is holy with a spirit, namely the holy truth uttered by him at that time, comes forth from the Lord. From all this one may recognize that truth coming forth directly from the Divine cannot be presented to anyone as spoken word or speech except by means of the Holy Spirit. This is what is meant in the highest sense when Moses, who represents the Lord in respect of God's truth, says that he is 'not a man of words', and by the fact that Aaron his brother was to be attached to him; Aaron was to serve him in place of his mouth, and he was to serve Aaron in God's place.
