Izlazak 9

Studie

   

1 Tada reče Gospod Mojsiju: Idi k Faraonu, i reci mu: Ovako veli Gospod Bog jevrejski: Pusti narod moj da mi posluži;

2 Ako li ih ne pustiš nego ih još staneš zadržavati,

3 Evo, ruka Gospodnja doći će na stoku tvoju u polju, na konje, na magarce, na kamile, na volove i na ovce, s pomorom vrlo velikim.

4 A odvojiće Gospod stoku izrailjsku od stoke misirske; te od svega što je sinova Izrailjevih neće poginuti ništa.

5 I postavio je Gospod rok rekavši: Sutra će to učiniti na zemlji Gospod.

6 I Gospod učini to sutradan, i sva stoka misirska uginu; a od stoke sinova Izrailjevih ne uginu nijedno.

7 I posla Faraon da vide, i gle, od stoke izrailjske ne uginu nijedno; ipak otvrdnu srce Faraonu, i ne pusti narod.

8 Tada reče Gospod Mojsiju i Aronu: Uzmite pepela iz peći pune pregršti, i Mojsije neka ga baci u nebo pred Faraonom;

9 I postaće prah po svoj zemlji misirskoj, a od njega će postati kraste pune gnoja i na ljudima i na stoci po svoj zemlji misirskoj.

10 I uzeše pepela iz peći, i stadoše pred Faraona, i baci ga Mojsije u nebo, i postaše kraste pune gnoja po ljudima i po stoci.

11 I vračari ne mogoše stajati pred Mojsijem od krasta; jer behu kraste i na vračarima i na svim Misircima.

12 I Gospod učini te otvrdnu srce Faraonovo, i ne posluša ih, kao što beše kazao Gospod Mojsiju.

13 Posle reče Gospod Mojsiju: Ustani rano i izađi pred Faraona, i reci mu: Ovako veli Gospod Bog jevrejski: Pusti narod moj da mi posluži.

14 Jer ću sada pustiti sva zla svoja na srce tvoje i na sluge tvoje i na narod tvoj, da znaš da niko nije kao ja na celoj zemlji.

15 Jer sada kad pružih ruku svoju, mogah i tebe i narod tvoj udariti pomorom, pa te ne bi više bilo na zemlji;

16 Ali te ostavih da pokažem na tebi silu svoju, i da se pripoveda ime moje po svoj zemlji.

17 I ti se još podižeš na moj narod, i nećeš da ga pustiš?

18 Evo, sutra ću u ovo doba pustiti grad vrlo velik, kakvog nije bilo u Misiru otkako je postao pa dosada.

19 Zato sada pošlji, te skupi stoku svoju i šta god imaš u polju, jer će pasti grad na sve ljude i na stoku što se zateče u polju i ne bude skupljeno u kuću, i izginuće.

20 Koji se god između sluga Faraonovih poboja reči Gospodnje, on brže skupi sluge svoje i stoku svoju u kuću;

21 A koji ne maraše za reč Gospodnju, on ostavi sluge svoje i stoku svoju u polju.

22 I Gospod reče Mojsiju: Pruži ruku svoju k nebu, neka udari grad po svoj zemlji misirskoj, na ljude i na stoku i na sve bilje po polju u zemlji misirskoj.

23 I Mojsije pruži štap svoj k nebu, i Gospod pusti gromove i grad, da oganj skakaše na zemlju. I tako Gospod učini, te pade grad na zemlju misirsku.

24 A beše grad i oganj smešan s gradom silan veoma, kakvog ne beše u svoj zemlji misirskoj otkako je ljudi u njoj.

25 I pobi grad po svoj zemlji misirskoj šta god beše u polju od čoveka do živinčeta; i sve bilje u polju potre grad, i sva drveta u polju polomi.

26 Samo u zemlji gesemskoj, gde behu sinovi Izrailjevi, ne beše grada.

27 Tada posla Faraon, te dozva Mojsija i Arona, i reče im: Sada zgreših; Gospod je pravedan, a ja i moj narod jesmo bezbožnici.

28 Molite se Gospodu, jer je dosta, neka prestanu gromovi Božji i grad, pa ću vas pustiti, i više vas neće niko ustavljati.

29 A Mojsije mu reče: Kad izađem iza grada, raširiću ruke svoje ka Gospodu, a gromovi će prestati i grada neće više biti, da znaš da je Gospodnja zemlja.

30 A ti i sluge tvoje znam da se još nećete bojati Gospoda Boga.

31 I propade lan i ječam, jer ječam beše klasao, a lan se glavičio.

32 A pšenica i krupnik ne propade, jer beše pozno žito.

33 I Mojsije otišavši od Faraona iza grada raširi ruke svoje ka Gospodu, i prestaše gromovi i grad, i dažd ne padaše na zemlju.

34 Ali Faraon videvši gde presta dažd i grad i gromovi, stade opet grešiti, i srce mu otvrdnu i njemu i slugama njegovim.

35 Otvrdnu srce Faraonu, te ne pusti sinove Izrailjeve, kao što beše kazao Gospod preko Mojsija.

7523. 'And there will be on man and on beast' means the products of interior and exterior evil. This is clear from the meaning of 'man' as the affection for good, and in the contrary sense as the desire for evil; and 'beast' is similar in meaning. But when 'man' and 'beast' are mentioned together, 'man means interior affection or desire and 'beast' exterior; regarding both, see 7424. Interior good or else interior evil, which is meant by 'man', is that connected with intentions or ends in view, for intentions or ends in view are at a person's core, whereas exterior good or else exterior evil, which is meant by 'beast', is that connected with thought and consequently, if nothing stands in the way, with action. Exterior good is meant by 'beast' because a person is in respect of his external or natural man no different from a beast; for he is endowed with similar desires and also cravings, as well as appetites and senses. And interior good is meant by 'man because it is in respect of his internal or spiritual man that a person is a human being, on which internal level he is endowed with affections for what is good and true such as exist with the angels in heaven, and because he controls his natural or animal man, which is 'a beast', by means of that internal man. Regarding the meaning of 'beast' as the affection for good and in the contrary sense the desire for evil, see 45, 46, 142, 143, 246, 714, 715, 719, 776, 2179, 2180, 3218, 3519, 5198.

[2] These things are what are meant by 'man and beast' in the following places too: In Jeremiah,

My anger and My wrath have been poured out on this place, on man and on beast. Jeremiah 7:20

In the same prophet,

I will strike the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast; they will die of a great pestilence. Jeremiah 21:6.

In the same prophet,

It will make her land a desolation, so that none may dwell in it; both man and beast have scattered themselves, they have gone away. Jeremiah 50:3.

In Ezekiel,

When a land has sinned against Me by committing great transgression, I will cut off from it man and beast. Ezekiel 14:13, 19, 21.

In the same prophet,

I will stretch out My hand over Edom, and cut off from it man and beast, and make it a waste. Ezekiel 25:13.

In Zephaniah,

I will consume man and beast, I will consume the birds of the air and the fish of the sea, and the stumbling-blocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from the surface of the earth. Zephaniah 1:3.

[3] 'Man and beast' stands for interior and exterior good in the following places: In Jeremiah,

I have made the earth, man and beast, by My great strength. Jeremiah 27:5.

In the same prophet,

Behold, the days are coming, said Jehovah, in which I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and the seed of beast. Jeremiah 31:17.

In the same prophet,

A desolation will the earth be, so that man and beast are not there. Jeremiah 32:43.

In the same prophet,

In the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that have been devastated, there is no man and inhabitant, and there is no beast. Jeremiah 33:10; 51:62.

In David,

Your righteousness is like the mountains of God, Your judgements a great deep; You preserve man and beast, O Jehovah. Psalms 36:6.

It was because 'man and beast' meant such things that the firstborn of the Egyptians died, not only of men but also of beasts, Exodus 12:29, and that the firstborn were consecrated [to Jehovah], not only of men but also of beasts, Numbers 18:15, and also that the king of Nineveh, following sacred religious practice, commanded that not only man but also beast should fast and also be clothed in sackcloth, Jonah 3:7-8.
