Éxodo 1

Studie

1 Estos son los nombres de los hijos de Israel, que entraron en Egipto con Jacob; cada uno entró con su familia.

2 Rubén, Simeón, Leví y Judá;

3 Isacar, Zabulón y Benjamín;

4 Dan y Neftalí, Gad y Aser.

5 Y todas las almas de los que salieron del muslo de Jacob, fueron setenta. Y José estaba en Egipto.

6 Y murió José, y todos sus hermanos, y toda aquella generación.

7 Y los hijos de Israel crecieron, y se multiplicaron, y fueron aumentados y fortalecidos en extremo; y se llenó la tierra de ellos.

8 Se levantó entretanto un nuevo rey sobre Egipto, que no conocía a José; el cual dijo a su pueblo:

9 He aquí, el pueblo de los hijos de Israel es mayor y más fuerte que nosotros.

10 Ahora, pues, seamos sabios para con él, para que no se multiplique, y acontezca que viniendo guerra, él también se junte con nuestros enemigos, y pelee contra nosotros, y se vaya de la tierra.

11 Entonces pusieron sobre él comisarios de tributos que los molestasen con sus cargas; y edificaron al Faraón las ciudades de los bastimentos: Pitón y Ramesés.

12 Pero cuanto más lo molestaban, tanto más se multiplicaban y crecían; tanto que ellos se fastidiaban de los hijos de Israel.

13 Y los egipcios hicieron servir a los hijos de Israel con dureza;

14 y amargaron su vida con dura servidumbre, en hacer barro y ladrillo, y en toda labor del campo, y en todo su servicio, al cual los obligaban con dureza.

15 Y habló el rey de Egipto a las parteras de las hebreas, una de las cuales se llamaba Sifra, y otra Fúa, y les dijo:

16 Cuando asistáis a las hebreas, y veáis el sexo, si fuere hijo, matadlo; y si fuere hija, entonces viva.

17 Mas las parteras temieron a Dios, y no hicieron como les mandó el rey de Egipto, y daban la vida a los niños.

18 Y el rey de Egipto hizo llamar a las parteras y les dijo: ¿Por qué habéis hecho esto, que habéis dado la vida a los niños?

19 Y las parteras respondieron al Faraón: Porque las mujeres hebreas no son como las egipcias; porque son robustas, y dan a luz antes que la partera venga a ellas.

20 Y Dios hizo bien a las parteras; y el pueblo se multiplicó, y se fortaleció en gran manera.

21 Y por haber las parteras temido a Dios, él les hizo casas.

22 Entonces el Faraón mandó a todo su pueblo, diciendo: Echad en el río todo hijo que naciere, y a toda hija dad la vida.

Exploring the Meaning of Exodus 1

Napsal(a) New Christian Bible Study Staff

Arcana Coelestia 6634. In the first chapter, in the internal sense, the subject treated of is the state of the renewed church, when good acts the first part, and is made fruitful by the multiplication of the truths of faith.

Arcana Coelestia 6635. Afterward the manifestation of these truths by falsities and evils in the natural is treated of, and that through this infestation the good would be made still more fruitful by means of truths. Down to the end the chapter continues to treat of this infestation and its increase in the series in which it takes place, and of the consequent implantation and confirmation of truth from good.

6634. Exodus 1

1. And these are the names of the children of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob - a man and his household they came:

2. Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;

3. Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;

4. Dan and Naphtali, Cad and Asher.

5. And every soul, those who came out of Jacob's thigh, were seventy souls; and Joseph was in Egypt.

6. And Joseph died, and all his brothers, and all that generation.

7. And the children of Israel were fruitful and productive, and multiplied and became very very numerous; and the land was filled with them.

8. And a new king arose over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.

9. And he said to his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are many and numerous, more than ourselves.

10. Come, let us use prudence with them; perhaps they will multiply, and it will be when wars occur, that they also will join themselves to our enemies and fight against us, and go up out of the land.

11. And they set princes of tributes' over them, to afflict them with burdens. And they built cities of store-houses for Pharaoh - Pithom and Raamses.

12. And according as they afflicted them, so they multiplied and so they grew; and they were filled with loathing because of the children of Israel.

13. And the Egyptians made the children of Israel serve with rigour.

14. And they made their life bitter with hard service, in clay and bricks, and in all [manner of] service in the field, with all their [other] service in which they made them serve with rigour.

15. And the king of Egypt said to the midwives of the Hebrew women, of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah-

16. He said, When you act as midwives to the Hebrew women and see them on the birthstools, if it is a son you shall kill him; and if it is a daughter, let her live.

17. And the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt spoke to them; and they kept the boys alive.

18. And the king of Egypt called the midwives, and said to them, Why do you act like that and keep the boys alive?

19. And the midwives said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are full of life; before the midwife comes to them they have given birth.

20. And God dealt well with the midwives; and the people multiplied and became very numerous.

21. And so it was, because the midwives feared God, that He made them houses.

22. And Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, Every son who is born you shall throw into the river, and every daughter you shall keep alive.
