Éxodo 5

Studie

   

1 Después de esto Moisés y Aarón entraron al Faraón, y le dijeron: El SEÑOR Dios de Israel, dice así: Deja ir a mi pueblo a celebrarme fiesta en el desierto.

2 Y el Faraón respondió: ¿Quién es el SEÑOR, para que yo oiga su voz y deje ir a Israel? Yo no conozco al SEÑOR, ni tampoco dejaré ir a Israel.

3 Y ellos dijeron: El Dios de los hebreos nos ha encontrado; por tanto nosotros iremos ahora camino de tres días por el desierto, y sacrificaremos al SEÑOR nuestro Dios; para que no nos encuentre con pestilencia o con espada.

4 Entonces el rey de Egipto les dijo: Moisés y Aarón, ¿por qué hacéis cesar al pueblo de su obra? Idos a vuestros cargos.

5 Dijo también el Faraón: He aquí el pueblo de la tierra es ahora mucho, y vosotros les hacéis cesar de sus cargos.

6 Y mandó el Faraón aquel mismo día a los cuadrilleros del pueblo que tenían el cargo del pueblo, y a los gobernadores, diciendo:

7 De aquí en adelante no daréis hornija al pueblo para hacer ladrillo, como ayer y antes de ayer; vayan ellos y recojan hornija por sí mismos.

8 Y habéis de ponerles la tarea del ladrillo que hacían antes, y no les disminuiréis nada; porque están ociosos, y por eso levantan la voz diciendo: Vamos y sacrificaremos a nuestro Dios.

9 Agrávese la servidumbre sobre ellos, para que se ocupen en ella, y no atiendan a palabras de mentira.

10 Y saliendo los cuadrilleros del pueblo y sus gobernadores, hablaron al pueblo, diciendo: Así ha dicho el Faraón: Yo no os doy hornija.

11 Id vosotros, y recoged hornija donde la hallareis; que nada se disminuirá de vuestra tarea.

12 Entonces el pueblo se derramó por toda la tierra de Egipto a coger rastrojo para hornija.

13 Y los cuadrilleros los apremiaban, diciendo: Acabad vuestra obra, la tarea del día en su día, como cuando se os daba hornija.

14 Y azotaban a los gobernadores de los hijos de Israel, que los cuadrilleros del Faraón habían puesto sobre ellos, diciendo: ¿Por qué no habéis cumplido vuestra tarea de ladrillo ni ayer ni hoy, como antes?

15 Y los gobernadores de los hijos de Israel vinieron y se quejaron al Faraón, diciendo: ¿Por qué lo haces así con tus siervos?

16 No se da hornija a tus siervos, y con todo eso nos dicen: Haced el ladrillo. Y he aquí tus siervos son azotados, y tu pueblo peca.

17 Y él respondió: Estáis ociosos, , ociosos, y por eso decís: Vamos y sacrifiquemos al SEÑOR.

18 Id pues ahora, y trabajad. No se os dará hornija, y habéis de dar la tarea del ladrillo.

19 Entonces los gobernadores de los hijos de Israel se vieron en aflicción, habiéndoseles dicho: No se disminuirá nada de vuestro ladrillo, de la tarea de cada día.

20 Y encontrando a Moisés y a Aarón, que estaban delante de ellos cuando salían del Faraón,

21 les dijeron: Mire el SEÑOR sobre vosotros, y juzgue; pues habéis hecho heder nuestro olor delante del Faraón y de sus siervos, dándoles el cuchillo en las manos para que nos maten.

22 Entonces Moisés se volvió al SEÑOR, y dijo: SEÑOR, ¿por qué afliges a este pueblo? ¿Para qué me enviaste?

23 Porque desde que yo vine al Faraón para hablarle en tu Nombre, ha afligido a este pueblo; y tampoco has librado a tu pueblo.

7058. 'And Moses told Aaron all Jehovah's words' means an influx of truth going forth directly from the Lord's Divine into truth that goes forth in an indirect way, and instruction in specific doctrinal teachings. This is clear from the meaning of 'telling' as influx, dealt with in 5966; from the representation of 'Moses' as truth going forth directly from the Lord's Divine, dealt with in 7010, 7054; from the representation of 'Aaron' as truth that goes forth in an indirect way from the Lord's Divine, dealt with in 7009; and from the meaning of 'all Jehovah's words' as specific doctrinal teachings. Instruction is meant by 'Moses told Aaron' those things, because instruction from the Divine is effected by means of influx, meant by 'telling'. From all this it is evident that 'Moses told all Jehovah's words' means an influx of truth going forth directly from the Lord's Divine into truth that goes forth in an indirect way, and instruction in specific doctrinal teachings.

[2] As regards instruction in specific doctrinal teachings, it is imparted when truth going forth directly from the Lord's Divine is joined to truth that goes forth in an indirect way; for then perception is imparted, see above in 7055. The two kinds of truth are joined together especially among the angels who are in the third or inmost heaven, those who are called celestial. They have a keen perception of both, and from that a clear feeling of the Lord's presence. The reason for this is that they more than others are governed by good, for in them the good of innocence is present. As a consequence they are nearest the Lord, surrounded by flashing and so to speak burning light, for they see the Lord as the Sun, whose radiating light has that appearance because they are so near Him.

[3] The expression 'truth going forth directly from the Lord's Divine' is used even though the subject here in the internal sense is the Lord when He was in the world and called upon His Father as if He were separate from Himself. But the situation then, as stated a number of times already, was that the Divine itself or Jehovah was within Him; for He had been conceived from Jehovah, whom for that reason He also called His Father, while calling Himself His Son. But at that time the weak Human inherited from His mother had come to the forefront in the Lord; and to the extent that it did so, Jehovah or the Divine itself which was within Him seemed to be absent, whereas to the extent that the Human that had been glorified or made Divine had come to the forefront in the Lord, Jehovah or the Divine itself was present, there in the Human itself. From this one may now know how to understand the idea that truth which had gone forth directly from the Divine came from the Lord's Divine.

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.
