Éxodo 4

Studie

   

1 Entonces Moisés respondió, y dijo: He aquí que ellos no me creerán, ni oirán mi voz; porque dirán: No se te ha aparecido el SEÑOR.

2 Y el SEÑOR le dijo: ¿Qué es eso que tienes en tu mano? Y él respondió: Una vara.

3 Y él le dijo: Echala en tierra. Y él la echó en tierra, y se tornó una culebra; y Moisés huía de ella.

4 Entonces dijo el SEÑOR a Moisés: Extiende tu mano, y tómala por la cola. Y él extendió su mano, y la tomó, y se tornó vara en su mano.

5 Por esto creerán que se te ha aparecido el SEÑOR Dios de tus padres, el Dios de Abraham, Dios de Isaac, y Dios de Jacob.

6 Y le dijo además el SEÑOR: Mete ahora tu mano en tu seno. Y él metió la mano en su seno; y cuando la sacó, he aquí que su mano estaba leprosa como la nieve.

7 Y dijo: Vuelve a meter tu mano en tu seno; y él volvió a meter su mano en su seno; y volviéndola a sacar del seno, he aquí que se había vuelto como la otra carne.

8 Si aconteciere, que no te creyeren, ni oyeren la voz de la primera señal, creerán a la voz de la postrera.

9 Y si aún no creyeren a estas dos señales, ni oyeren tu voz, tomarás de las aguas del río, y las derramarás en tierra; y se volverán aquellas aguas que tomarás del río, se volverán sangre en la tierra.

10 Entonces dijo Moisés al SEÑOR: ¡Ruego SEÑOR! Yo no soy hombre de palabras de ayer ni de anteayer, ni aun desde que tú hablas a tu siervo; porque soy pesado de boca y pesado de lengua.

11 Y el SEÑOR le respondió: ¿Quién dio la boca al hombre? ¿O quién hizo al mudo y al sordo, al que ve y al ciego? ¿No soy yo el SEÑOR?

12 Ahora pues, ve, que yo seré en tu boca, y te enseñaré lo que hayas de hablar.

13 Y él dijo: ¡Ruego Señor! Envía por mano del que has de enviar.

14 Entonces el SEÑOR se enojó contra Moisés, y dijo: ¿No conozco yo a tu hermano Aarón, levita, y que él habla bien? Y aun he aquí que él te saldrá a recibir, y viéndote, se alegrará de su corazón.

15 Tú hablarás a él, y pondrás en su boca las palabras, y yo seré en tu boca y en la suya, y os enseñaré lo que hayáis de hacer.

16 Y él hablará por ti al pueblo; y él te será por boca, y tú serás a él por Dios.

17 Y tomarás esta vara en tu mano, con la cual harás las señales.

18 Así se fue Moisés, y volviendo a su suegro Jetro, le dijo: Iré ahora, y volveré a mis hermanos que están en Egipto, para ver si aún viven. Y Jetro dijo a Moisés: Ve en paz.

19 Dijo también el SEÑOR a Moisés en Madián: Ve, y vuélvete a Egipto, porque han muerto todos los que procuraban tu muerte.

20 Entonces Moisés tomó su mujer y sus hijos, y los puso sobre un asno, y volvió a tierra de Egipto; tomó también Moisés la vara de Dios en su mano.

21 Y dijo el SEÑOR a Moisés: Cuando hubiereis vuelto a Egipto, mira que hagas delante del Faraón todas las maravillas que he puesto en tu mano; pero yo endureceré su corazón, de modo que no dejará ir al pueblo.

22 Y dirás al Faraón: El SEÑOR ha dicho así: Israel es mi hijo, mi primogénito.

23 Y yo te he dicho que dejes ir a mi hijo, para que me sirva, mas no has querido dejarlo ir; por tanto , he aquí yo mato a tu hijo, tu primogénito.

24 Y aconteció en el camino, que en una posada lo encontró el SEÑOR, y quiso matarlo.

25 Entonces Séfora arrebató un pedernal, y cortó el prepucio de su hijo, y lo echó a sus pies, diciendo: Porque tú me eres esposo de sangre.

26 Entonces se apartó de él. Y ella le dijo: Esposo de sangre, a causa de la circuncisión.

27 Y el SEÑOR dijo a Aarón: Ve a recibir a Moisés al desierto. Y él fue, y lo encontró en el monte de Dios, y le besó.

28 Entonces contó Moisés a Aarón todas las palabras del SEÑOR que le enviaba, y todas las señales que le había dado.

29 Y fueron Moisés y Aarón, y juntaron todos los ancianos de los hijos de Israel.

30 Y habló Aarón todas las palabras que el SEÑOR había dicho a Moisés, e hizo las señales delante de los ojos del pueblo.

31 Y el pueblo creyó; y oyendo que el SEÑOR había visitado los hijos de Israel, y que había visto su aflicción, se inclinaron y adoraron.

7013. Verses 18-20. And Moses went, and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, Let me go, I pray, and return into my brethren who are in Egypt, and I shall see whether they yet live. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace. And Jehovah said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt; because all the men seeking thy soul are dead. And Moses took his wife and his sons, and made them ride upon the ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt; and Moses took the rod of God in his hand. “And Moses went, and returned,” signifies continuation of the former life; “to Jethro his father-in-law,” signifies in simple good; “and said to him, Let me go I pray, and return unto my brethren who are in Egypt,” signifies elevation to more interior and more spiritual life in the natural; “and I shall see whether they yet live,” signifies the perception of that life; “and Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace,” signifies assent and a devout wish; “and Jehovah said unto Moses in Midian,” signifies enlightenment and confirmation from the Divine in this state; “Go, return into Egypt,” signifies spiritual life in the natural; “because all the men seeking thy soul are dead,” signifies the removal of the falsities that are endeavoring to destroy the life of truth and good; “and Moses took his wife,” signifies good adjoined; “and his sons,” signifies truths thence derived; “and made them ride upon the ass,” signifies which would be of service to new intelligence; “and he returned into the land of Egypt,” signifies in the natural mind; “and Moses took the rod of God in his hand,” signifies that these things were from Divine power.

Exodus 4

Studie

   

1 Moses answered, "But, behold, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice; for they will say, 'Yahweh has not appeared to you.'"

2 Yahweh said to him, "What is that in your hand?" He said, "A rod."

3 He said, "Throw it on the ground." He threw it on the ground, and it became a snake; and Moses ran away from it.

4 Yahweh said to Moses, "Put forth your hand, and take it by the tail." He Put forth his hand, and laid hold of it, and it became a rod in his hand.

5 "That they may believe that Yahweh, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you."

6 Yahweh said furthermore to him, "Now put your hand inside your cloak." He put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, as white as snow.

7 He said, "Put your hand inside your cloak again." He Put his hand inside his cloak again, and when he took it out of his cloak, behold, it had turned again as his other flesh.

8 "It will happen, if they will neither believe you nor listen to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.

9 It will happen, if they will not believe even these two signs, neither listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it on the dry land. The water which you take out of the river will become blood on the dry land."

10 Moses said to Yahweh, "O Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before now, nor since you have spoken to your servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue."

11 Yahweh said to him, "Who made man's mouth? Or who makes one mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Isn't it I, Yahweh?

12 Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall speak."

13 He said, "Oh, Lord, please send someone else."

14 The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Moses, and he said, "What about Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Also, behold, he comes forth to meet you. When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.

15 You shall speak to him, and put the words in his mouth. I will be with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what you shall do.

16 He will be your spokesman to the people; and it will happen, that he will be to you a mouth, and you will be to him as God.

17 You shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do the signs."

18 Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, "Please let me go and return to my brothers who are in Egypt, and see whether they are still alive." Jethro said to Moses, "go in peace."

19 Yahweh said to Moses in Midian, "Go, return into Egypt; for all the men who sought your life are dead."

20 Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them on a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt. Moses took God's rod in his hand.

21 Yahweh said to Moses, "When you go back into Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in your hand, but I will harden his heart and he will not let the people go.

22 You shall tell Pharaoh, 'Thus says Yahweh, Israel is my son, my firstborn,

23 and I have said to you, "Let my son go, that he may serve me;" and you have refused to let him go. Behold, I will kill your son, your firstborn.'"

24 It happened on the way at a lodging place, that Yahweh met Moses and wanted to kill him.

25 Then Zipporah took a flint, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet; and she said, "Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me."

26 So he let him alone. Then she said, "You are a bridegroom of blood," because of the circumcision.

27 Yahweh said to Aaron, "Go into the wilderness to meet Moses." He went, and met him on God's mountain, and kissed him.

28 Moses told Aaron all the words of Yahweh with which he had sent him, and all the signs with which he had instructed him.

29 Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel.

30 Aaron spoke all the words which Yahweh had spoken to Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.

31 The people believed, and when they heard that Yahweh had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped.
