Izlazak 8

Studie

   

1 I reče Gospod Mojsiju: Idi k Faraonu, i reci mu: Ovako veli Gospod: Pusti narod moj, da mi posluži.

2 Ako li nećeš pustiti, evo ću moriti svu zemlju žabama.

3 I reka će se napuniti žaba, i one će izaći i skakati tebi po kući i po kleti gde spavaš i po postelji tvojoj i po kućama sluga tvojih i naroda tvog i po pećima tvojim i po naćvama tvojim;

4 I na tebe i na narod tvoj i na sve sluge tvoje skakaće žabe.

5 I reče Gospod Mojsiju: Kaži Aronu: Pruži ruku svoju sa štapom svojim na reke i na potoke i na jezera, i učini nek izađu žabe na zemlju misirsku.

6 I pruži Aron ruku svoju na vode misirske, i izađoše žabe i pokriše zemlju misirsku.

7 Ali i vračari misirski učiniše tako svojim vračanjem, učiniše te izađoše žabe na zemlju misirsku.

8 A Faraon dozva Mojsija i Arona i reče: Molite Gospoda da ukloni žabe od mene i od naroda mog, pak ću pustiti narod da prinesu žrtvu Gospodu.

9 A Mojsije reče Faraonu: Čast da ti je nada mnom! Dokle da mu se molim za te i za sluge tvoje i za narod tvoj da odbije žabe od tebe i iz kuća tvojih, i samo u reci da ostanu?

10 A on reče: Do sutra. A Mojsije reče: Biće kako si kazao, da poznaš da niko nije kao Gospod Bog naš.

11 Otići će žabe od tebe i iz kuća tvojih i od sluga tvojih i od naroda tvog; samo će u reci ostati.

12 I otide Mojsije i Aron od Faraona; i zavapi Mojsije ka Gospodu za žabe koje beše pustio na Faraona.

13 A Gospod učini po reči Mojsijevoj; i pocrkaše žabe, i oprostiše ih se kuće i sela i polja.

14 I na gomile ih grtahu, da je smrdela zemlja.

15 A kad Faraon vide gde odahnu, otvrdnu mu srce, i ne posluša ih, kao što beše kazao Gospod.

16 A Gospod reče Mojsiju: Kaži Aronu: Pruži štap svoj, i udari po prahu na zemlji, nek se pretvori u uši po svoj zemlji misirskoj.

17 I učiniše tako: Aron pruži ruku svoju sa štapom svojim, i udari po prahu na zemlji, i postaše uši po ljudima i po stoci, sav prah na zemlji pretvori se u uši po celoj zemlji misirskoj.

18 A gledaše i vračari misirski vračanjem svojim da učine da postanu uši, ali ne mogoše. I behu uši po ljudima i po stoci.

19 I rekoše vračari Faraonu: Ovo je prst Božji. Ali opet otvrdnu srce Faraonu, te ih ne posluša kao što beše kazao Gospod.

20 A Gospod reče Mojsiju: Ustani rano i izađi pred Faraona, evo, on će izaći k vodi, pa mu reci: Ovako veli Gospod: Pusti narod moj da mi posluži.

21 Ako li ne pustiš narod moj, evo, pustiću na tebe i na sluge tvoje i na narod tvoj i na kuće tvoje svakojake bubine, i napuniće se bubina kuće misirske i zemlja na kojoj su.

22 Ali ću u taj dan odvojiti zemlju gesemsku, gde živi moj narod, i onde neće biti bubina, da poznaš da sam ja Gospod na zemlji.

23 I postaviću razliku između naroda svog i naroda tvog. Sutra će biti znak taj.

24 I učini Gospod tako, i dođoše silne bubine u kuću Faraonovu i u kuće sluga njegovih i u svu zemlju misirsku, da se sve u zemlji pokvari od bubina.

25 I Faraon dozva Mojsija i Arona, i reče im: Idite, prinesite žrtvu Bogu svom ovde u zemlji.

26 A Mojsije reče: Ne valja tako; jer bismo prineli na žrtvu Gospodu Bogu svom što je nečisto Misircima; a kad bismo prineli na žrtvu što je nečisto Misircima na oči njihove, ne bi li nas pobili kamenjem?

27 Tri dana hoda treba da idemo u pustinju da prinesemo žrtvu Gospodu Bogu svom, kao što nam je kazao.

28 A Faraon reče: Pustiću vas da prinesete žrtvu Gospodu Bogu svom u pustinji; ali da ne idete dalje; pa se molite za me.

29 A Mojsije reče: Evo ja idem od tebe, i moliću se Gospodu da otidu bubine od Faraona i od sluga njegovih i od naroda njegovog sutra; ali nemoj opet da prevariš, i da ne pustiš narod da prinese žrtvu Gospodu.

30 I otide Mojsije od Faraona, i pomoli se Gospodu.

31 I učini Gospod po reči Mojsijevoj, te otidoše bubine od Faraona i od sluga njegovih i od naroda njegovog; ne osta ni jedna.

32 Ali opet otvrdnu srce Faraonovo, i ne pusti narod.

7392. 'To remove the frogs from me, and from my people' means in order that they might not be compelled to use reasonings arising from utter falsities. This is clear from the meaning of 'removing' as not being compelled, for what caused the pleading was weariness resulting from their being compelled to use reasonings arising from utter falsities; from the meaning of 'the frogs' as reasonings arising from utter falsities, dealt with in 7351, 7352; and from the representation of Pharaoh, and also of the Egyptians, as those who are steeped in falsities and engage in molestation, dealt with often.

[2] With regard to that weariness which is the cause of the pleading or self-abasement in those who engage in molestation, it should be recognized that those people find this undelightful; for they are unable to do evil by the use of reasonings that arise from utter falsities, since the upright - who at this point are those members of the Lord's spiritual Church whom they were molesting - laugh at utter falsities, which are contradictions of the truth. But they were able to do evil through their use of falsities based on illusions and appearances, by which they falsify truths, such truths being meant by 'the blood' into which the waters of Egypt were turned, 7317, 7326; for illusions and appearances mislead people since they cast a sort of shadow or veil over truths. Because they are unable to do any evil through their use of reasonings arising from utter falsities, that is, arising from total contradictions of the truth, they have found them to be undelightful and therefore beg to have them taken away. For nothing delights those in hell except doing evil, in whatever possible way. Indeed doing evil is the very delight of their life; so great is it that it constitutes their whole life. When therefore they are not allowed to do it weariness overtakes them. This is the reason why Pharaoh begged to have the plague of frogs taken away, but not that of blood described above, nor that of the lice described below. For 'the plague of frogs' means molestation through the use of reasonings arising from utter falsities, by the use of which however they are unable to do any evil; but 'the plague of blood' means molestation by the use of falsities arising from illusions and appearances, a molestation which gives them delight because they are able to do ill by means of it. And 'the plague of lice' means evils which give them delight because they are evils.

[3] A feeling of delight in doing evil exists in the next life with all those who in the world do not do good to their neighbour for their neighbour's sake, to their country for their country's sake, or to the Church for the Church's sake, but for their own sake. Consequently they do not do what is true and good for the sake of what is true and good. The fact that their delight consists in doing evil is not evident in the world because the external man conceals it. But in the next life, when superficial things are taken away and a person is left with what he is inwardly, that delight then emerges and reveals itself. So it is that such people are in hell; for those who are there all love to do evil, whereas those in heaven all love to do good.

7062. 'And gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel' means the chief characteristics of wisdom which the spiritual Church possessed. This is clear from the meaning of 'the elders' as the chief characteristics of wisdom, thus things that accord with good, dealt with in 6524; and from the representation of 'the children of Israel' as the spiritual Church, dealt with in 6426, 6637.
