Izlazak 6

Studie

   

1 A Gospod reče Mojsiju: Sad ćeš videti šta ću učiniti Faraonu; jer pod rukom krepkom pustiće ih, i isteraće ih iz zemlje svoje pod rukom krepkom.

2 Još govori Bog Mojsiju i reče mu: Ja sam Gospod.

3 I javio sam se Avramu, Isaku i Jakovu imenom Bog Svemogući, a imenom svojim, Gospod, ne bih im poznat.

4 I učinih zavet svoj s njima da ću im dati zemlju hanansku, zemlju u kojoj behu došljaci, u kojoj življahu kao stranci.

5 I čuh uzdisanje sinova Izrailjevih, koje Misirci drže u ropstvu, i opomenuh se zaveta svog.

6 Zato kaži sinovima Izrailjevim: Ja sam Gospod, i izvešću vas ispod bremena misirskih, i oprostiću vas ropstva njihovog, i izbaviću vas mišicom podignutom i sudovima velikim.

7 I uzeću vas da mi budete narod, i ja ću vam biti Bog, te ćete poznati da sam ja Gospod Bog vaš, koji vas izvodim ispod bremena misirskih.

8 Pak ću vas odvesti u svoju zemlju, za koju podigoh ruku svoju zaklinjući se da ću je dati Avramu, Isaku i Jakovu; i daću vam je u nasledstvo, ja Gospod.

9 I Mojsije kaza tako sinovima Izrailjevim; ali ne poslušaše Mojsija od slabosti duha svog i od ljutog ropstva.

10 I Gospod reče Mojsiju govoreći:

11 Idi, kaži Faraonu, caru misirskom, neka pusti sinove Izrailjeve iz zemlje svoje.

12 A Mojsije progovori pred Gospodom i reče: Eto, sinovi Izrailjevi ne poslušaše me, a kako će me poslušati Faraon, kad sam neobrezanih usana?

13 Ali Gospod govori Mojsiju i Aronu, i zapovedi im da idu k sinovima Izrailjevim i k Faraonu, da izvedu sinove Izrailjeve iz zemlje misirske.

14 Ovo su poglavice u domovima otaca svojih: sinovi Ruvima, prvenca Izrailjevog: Enoh i Faluj, Asron i Harmija; to su porodice Ruvimove.

15 A sinovi Simeunovi: Jemuilo i Jamin i Aod i Ahin i Sar i Saul, sin neke Hananejke; to su porodice Simeunove.

16 A ovo su imena sinova Levijevih po porodicama njihovim: Girson i Kat i Merarije; a Levije požive sto i trideset i sedam godina.

17 A ovo su sinovi Girsonovi: Lovenije i Semej po porodicama svojim.

18 A sinovi Katovi: Amram i Isar i Hevron i Ozilo; a Kat požive sto i trideset i tri godine.

19 A sinovi Merarijevi: Molija i Musija. To su porodice Levijeve po lozama svojim.

20 A Amram se oženi Johavedom bratučedom svojom, i ona mu rodi Arona i Mojsija. A požive Amram sto i trideset i sedam godina.

21 A sinovi Isarovi behu: Korej i Nafek i Zehrija.

22 A sinovi Ozilovi: Misailo i Elisafan i Segrija.

23 A Aron se oženi Jelisavetom kćerju Aminadavovom, sestrom Nasonovom; i ona mu rodi Nadava i Avijuda i Eleazara i Itamara.

24 A sinovi Korejevi behu: Asir i Elkana i Avijasar. To su porodice Korejeve.

25 I Eleazar, sin Aronov, oženi se jednom od kćeri Futilovih, i ona mu rodi Finesa. To su poglavice između otaca levitskih po svojim porodicama.

26 To je Aron i Mojsije, kojima reče Gospod: Izvedite sinove Izrailjeve iz zemlje misirske u četama njihovim.

27 To su koji govoriše Faraonu, caru misirskom, da izvedu sinove Izrailjeve iz Misira; to je Mojsije i to je Aron.

28 I kad Gospod govoraše Mojsiju u zemlji misirskoj,

29 Reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći: Ja sam Gospod; kaži Faraonu caru misirskom sve što sam ti kazao.

30 I Mojsije reče pred Gospodom: Evo sam neobrezanih usana, pa kako će me poslušati Faraon?

1463. That 'sojourning' means receiving instruction becomes clear from the meaning in the Word of 'sojourning' as receiving instruction, and it has this meaning because sojourning and passing on, or moving from one place to another, is in heaven nothing else than a change of state, as shown already in 1376, 1379. Therefore every time travelling, sojourning, or transferring from one place to another occurs in the Word nothing else suggests itself to angels than a change of state such as takes place with them. There are changes of state both of thoughts and of affections. Changes of the state of thoughts are cognitions, which in the world of spirits are represented by means of forms of instruction. This also explains why members of the Most Ancient Church, having communication with the angelic heaven, did not perceive anything else by 'sojourning'. Thus the statement here that 'Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn' does not mean anything other than the Lord's being instructed.

[2] Something similar is meant by Jacob and his sons going down into Egypt, as in Isaiah,

Thus said the Lord Jehovih, My people went down to Egypt at first to sojourn there, and Asshur oppressed them without cause. Isaiah 52:4.

Here 'Asshur' stands for reasonings. This is also why in the Jewish Church people who were receiving instruction were called 'sojourners, sojourning in their midst' who, it was commanded, were to receive the same treatment as the native-born, Exodus 12:48-49; Leviticus 24:22; Numbers 15:13-16, 26, 29; 19:10. Regarding sojourners it is said in Ezekiel,

You shall divide this land among you according to the tribes of Israel. You shall divide it by lot as an inheritance for yourselves and for sojourners, sojourning in your midst. They shall be to you as native-born among the children of Israel, they shall cast lots with you for an inheritance in the midst of the tribes of Israel. In the tribe with which the sojourner has sojourned, there shall you give him his inheritance. Ezekiel 47:21-23.

This refers to the new Jerusalem, or the Lord's kingdom. 'Sojourners sojourning' is used to mean people who allow themselves to receive instruction, consequently the gentiles. That 'sojourners' stands for people who are receiving instruction is clear from the fact that it is said 'in the tribe with which he has sojourned, there shall an inheritance be given him'. 'Tribes' stands for the things that constitute faith.

[3] 'Sojourning' is also similar in meaning to travelling and dwelling. 'Travelling' means the established patterns and order of life, while 'dwelling' means living, both dealt with already in 1293. For the same reasons the land of Canaan is also called 'the land of the sojournings of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob', in Genesis 28:4; 36:7; 37:1; Exodus 6:4. And Jacob said to Pharaoh,

The days of the years of my sojournings; few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their sojournings. Genesis 47:9.

Here 'sojourning' stands for life and for forms of instruction.
