Exodo 12

Studie

   

1 At ang Panginoon ay nagsalita kay Moises at kay Aaron sa lupain ng Egipto, na sinasabi,

2 Ang buwang ito'y magiging sa inyo'y pasimula ng mga buwan: siyang magiging unang buwan ng taon sa inyo.

3 Salitain ninyo sa buong kapisanan ng Israel na inyong sabihin: Sa ikasangpung araw ng buwang ito ay magsisikuha sila sa ganang kanila, bawa't lalake, ng isang kordero, ayon sa mga sangbahayan ng kanikanilang mga magulang, isang kordero sa bawa't sangbahayan:

4 At kung ang sangbahayan ay napakakaunti upang kumain ng isang kordero, ay siya nga at ang kaniyang malapit na kapitbahay ay magsasalosalo sa isa ayon sa bilang ng mga tao; ayon sa bawa't tao na kumakain gagawin ninyo ang pagbilang, sa kordero.

5 Ang inyong korderong pipiliin ay yaong walang kapintasan, isang lalake, na iisahing taon: inyong kukunin sa mga tupa, o sa mga kambing:

6 At inyong aalagaan hanggang sa ikalabing apat na araw ng buwang ito, at papatayin ng buong kapulungan ng kapisanan ng Israel, sa paglubog ng araw.

7 At kukuha sila ng dugo niyan, at ilalagay sa dalawang haligi ng pinto at sa itaas ng pintuan, sa mga bahay na kanilang kakainan.

8 At kanilang kakanin ang laman sa gabing yaon, na inihaw sa apoy, at tinapay na walang lebadura, kakanin nilang kaulam ng mapapait na gulay.

9 Huwag ninyong kaning hilaw, o luto man sa tubig, kundi inihaw sa apoy; ang kaniyang ulo pati ng kaniyang mga paa at pati ng kaniyang mga lamang loob.

10 At huwag kayong magtitira ng anoman niyaon hanggang sa kinaumagahan; kundi yaong matitira niyaon sa kinaumagahan ay inyong susunugin sa apoy.

11 At ganito ninyo kakanin; may bigkis ang inyong baywang, ang inyong mga pangyapak ay nakasuot sa inyong mga paa, at ang inyong tungkod ay tangnan ninyo sa inyong kamay; at inyong kakaning dalidali; siyang paskua ng Panginoon.

12 Sapagka't ako'y dadaan sa lupain ng Egipto sa gabing yaon, at aking lilipulin ang lahat ng mga panganay sa lupain ng Egipto, maging tao at maging hayop; at gagawa ako ng kahatulan laban sa lahat ng mga dios sa Egipto, ako ang Panginoon.

13 At ang dugo ay magiging sa inyo'y isang tanda sa mga bahay na inyong kinaroroonan: at pagka aking nakita ang dugo, ay lalampasan ko kayo, at walang salot na sasainyo, na papatay sa inyo, pananakit ko sa lupaing Egipto.

14 At ang araw na ito'y magiging sa inyo'y isang alaala, at inyong ipagdidiwang na pinakapista sa Panginoon; sa buong panahon ng inyong lahi ay inyong ipagdidiwang na pinakapista na bilang tuntunin magpakailan man.

15 Pitong araw na kakain kayo ng tinapay na walang lebadura; sa unang araw ay inyong ihihiwalay sa inyong mga bahay ang lebadura; sapagka't sinomang kumain ng tinapay na may lebadura mula sa unang araw hanggang sa ikapitong araw ay ihihiwalay sa Israel, ang taong yaon.

16 At sa unang araw ay magkakaroon kayo ng isang banal na pagkakatipon at sa ikapitong araw man ay magkakaroon ding kayo ng isang banal na pagkakatipon; walang anomang gawa na gagawin sa mga araw na iyan, liban na yaong nararapat kanin ng bawa't tao, na siya lamang maaaring gawin ninyo.

17 At iyong ipangingilin ang pista ng tinapay na walang lebadura; sapagka't sa araw ring ito kinuha ko ang inyong mga hukbo sa lupain ng Egipto: kaya't inyong ipangingilin ang araw na ito sa buong panahon ng inyong lahi, na bilang tuntunin magpakailan man.

18 Sa unang buwan ng ikalabing apat na araw ng buwan sa paglubog ng araw ay kakain kayo ng tinapay na walang lebadura, hanggang sa ikadalawang pu't isang araw ng buwan, sa paglubog ng araw.

19 Pitong araw, na walang masusumpungang lebadura sa inyong mga bahay: sapagka't sinomang kumain niyaong may lebadura, ay ihihiwalay sa kapisanan ng Israel, ang taong yaon, maging taga ibang lupa, o maging ipinanganak sa lupain.

20 Huwag kayong kakain ng anomang bagay na may lebadura; sa lahat ng inyong mga tahanan ay kakain kayo ng tinapay na walang lebadura.

21 Nang magkagayo'y ipinatawag ni Moises ang lahat ng matanda sa Israel, at sinabi sa kanila, Kayo'y lumabas at kumuha kayo ng mga kordero ayon sa inyo-inyong sangbahayan, at magpatay kayo ng kordero ng paskua.

22 At kayo'y kukuha ng isang bigkis na hisopo, at inyong babasain sa dugo, na nasa palanggana, at inyong papahiran ng dugo na nasa palanggana, ang itaas ng pinto at ang dalawang haligi ng pinto: at sinoman sa inyo ay huwag lalabas sa pinto ng kaniyang bahay hanggang sa kinaumagahan.

23 Sapagka't ang Panginoon ay daraan upang sugatan ang mga Egipcio; at pagkakita niya ng dugo sa itaas ng pinto at sa dalawang haligi ng pinto, ay lalampasan ng Panginoon ang pintong yaon, at hindi niya papayagan ang manunugat ay pumasok sa inyong mga bahay na sugatan kayo.

24 At inyong ipangingilin ang bagay na ito, na pinakatuntunin sa iyo at sa iyong mga anak magpakailan man.

25 At mangyayaring pagdating ninyo sa lupain na ibibigay sa inyo ng Panginoon, gaya ng kaniyang ipinangako, ay inyong tutuparin ang paglilingkod na ito.

26 At mangyayaring pagsasabi sa inyo ng inyong mga anak: Anong ibig ninyong sabihin sa paglilingkod na ito?

27 Na inyong sasabihin: Siyang paghahain sa paskua ng Panginoon, na kaniyang nilampasan ang mga bahay ng mga anak ni Israel sa Egipto, nang kaniyang sugatan ang mga Egipcio, at iniligtas ang aming mga sangbahayan. At ang bayan ay nagyukod ng ulo at sumamba.

28 At ang mga anak ni Israel ay yumaon at ginawang gayon; kung paanong iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises at kay Aaron, ay gayong ginawa nila.

29 At nangyari sa hating gabi, na nilipol ng Panginoon ang lahat ng mga panganay sa lupain ng Egipto, mula sa panganay ni Faraon na nakaluklok sa kaniyang luklukan, hanggang sa panganay ng bilanggo na nasa bilangguan; at lahat ng panganay sa mga hayop.

30 At si Faraon ay bumangon sa kinagabihan, siya at lahat ng kaniyang mga lingkod, at lahat ng mga Egipcio, at nagkaroon ng isang malakas na hiyawan sa Egipto; sapagka't walang bahay na di mayroong isang patay.

31 At kaniyang tinawag si Moises at si Aaron sa kinagabihan, at sinabi, Kayo'y bumangon, umalis kayo sa gitna ng aking bayan kayo at sangpu ng mga anak ni Israel; at kayo'y yumaong maglingkod sa Panginoon, gaya ng inyong sinabi.

32 Dalhin ninyo kapuwa ang inyong mga kawan at ang inyong mga bakahan, gaya ng inyong sinabi, at kayo'y yumaon: at pagpalain din naman ninyo ako.

33 At pinapagmadali ng mga Egipcio, ang bayan, na madaliang pinaalis sila sa lupain; sapagka't kanilang sinabi, Kaming lahat ay patay na.

34 At dinala ng bayan ang kanilang masa bago humilab, na nababalot ang kanilang mga masa sa kanikanilang damit sa ibabaw ng kanikanilang balikat.

35 At ginawa ng mga anak ni Israel ayon sa salita ni Moises; at sila'y humingi sa mga Egipcio ng mga hiyas na pilak, at mga hiyas na ginto, at mga damit:

36 At pinagbiyayaan ng Panginoon ang bayan sa paningin ng mga Egipcio, ano pa't ibinigay sa kanila anomang hingin nila. At kanilang hinubaran ang mga Egipcio.

37 At ang angkan ni Israel ay naglakbay mula sa Rameses hanggang sa Succoth, na may anim na raang libong lalake na naglakad, bukod pa ang mga bata.

38 At isang karamihang samasama ang sumampa rin namang kasabay nila; at mga kawan, at mga bakahan, na napakaraming hayop.

39 At kanilang nilutong mga munting tinapay na walang lebadura ang masa na kanilang kinuha sa Egipto, sapagka't hindi pa humihilab, sapagka't sila'y itinaboy sa Egipto, at hindi sila nakatigil o nakapaghanda man ng anomang pagkain.

40 Ang pakikipamayan nga ng mga anak ni Israel, na ipinakipamayan nila sa Egipto, ay apat na raan at tatlong pung taon.

41 At nangyari sa katapusan ng apat na raan at tatlong pung taon, ng araw ding yaon ay nangyari, na ang lahat ng mga hukbo ng Panginoon ay umalis sa lupain ng Egipto.

42 Ito ay isang gabing pangingilin sa Panginoon dahil sa paglalabas niya sa kanila sa lupain ng Egipto: ito ay yaong gabi ng Panginoon na ipangingilin ng lahat ng mga anak ni Israel sa buong panahon ng kanilang lahi.

43 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises at kay Aaron, Ito ang tuntunin sa paskua: walang sinomang taga ibang lupa na kakain niyaon:

44 Datapuwa't ang alipin ng bawa't lalake na nabili ng salapi, pagkatuli sa kaniya'y makakakain nga niyaon.

45 Ang nakikipamayan at ang alilang binabayaran ay hindi kakain niyaon.

46 Sa isang bahay kakanin; huwag kang magdadala ng laman sa labas ng bahay, ni sisira kayo ng kahit isang buto niyaon.

47 Ipangingilin ng buong kapisanan ng Israel.

48 At pagka ang isang taga ibang lupa ay makikipamayan kasama mo, at mangingilin ng paskua sa Panginoon, ay tuliin lahat ang kaniyang mga lalake at saka siya lumapit at ipangilin: at siya'y magiging parang ipinanganak sa lupain ninyo; datapuwa't sinomang di tuli ay hindi makakakain niyaon.

49 Isang kautusan magkakaroon sa ipinanganak sa lupain, at sa taga ibang bayan na nakikipamayang kasama ninyo.

50 Gayon ginawa ng lahat ng mga anak ni Israel; kung paanong iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises at kay Aaron, gayon nila ginawa.

51 At nangyari nang araw ding yaon, na kinuha ng Panginoon ang mga anak ni Israel sa lupain ng Egipto, ayon sa kanilang mga hukbo.

8018. 'That Jehovah brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt' means that the Lord delivered those governed by the good of truth and guided by the truth of good from damnation. This is clear from the meaning of 'bringing out' as delivering; from the representation of 'the children of Israel' as those belonging to the spiritual Church, or what amounts to the same thing, those governed by the good of truth and guided by the truth of good, dealt with above in 7957, 8006; and from the meaning of 'the land of Egypt' as damnation. 'The land of Egypt' at this point means damnation because damnation is meant by the Egyptians' state at this time, 7766, 7778. The fact that the Lord delivered from damnation those belonging to the spiritual Church, that is, those governed by the good of truth and guided by the truth of good, see 6854, 6914, 7091 (end), 7828, 7932.

[2] Their deliverance by the Lord when He rose again is meant by the Lord's descent to the lower regions (ad inferos); 1 and it was made plain by the raising of the dead from their tombs, described in Matthew,

And the tombs were opened, and many bodies of sleeping saints were raised; and coming out of their tombs after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many. Matthew 27:52-53.

Their coming out of tombs, their going into the holy city, and also their appearing to many took place to bear witness to the deliverance by the Lord of those who until then had been held back in spiritual captivity, and to the introduction of them into heaven, heaven being meant in the internal sense by 'the holy city'. This is why the expression 'the holy city' is used when in actual fact it was not a holy but a profane city, since the Lord Himself - who was represented in all the ritual observances of their Church and described in the Word existing among them, and so was the God of their Church - was treated by them in so cruel a manner.

[3] Much the same is meant by this in Daniel,

At that time Your people will be rescued, every one who is found written in the book. Finally, many of those sleeping in the dust of the earth will awake - these to eternal life, but the rest to reproaches and to eternal disgrace. Daniel 12:1-2.

And also by this in Ezekiel,

Prophesy and say, Thus said the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, O My people, and I will bring you onto the land of Israel, in order that you may know that I am Jehovah when I open your graves and cause you to come up out of your graves, O My people. And I will put My spirit in you, in order that you may live, and I will place you on your own land, in order that you may know that I Jehovah have spoken it and done it, said Jehovah. Ezekiel 37:11-14.

'The land of Israel', which is the land of Canaan, is used to mean heaven, 8011. The words quoted here from the prophet describe the new creation or birth of a person, and also the vivifying by the Lord of those belonging to the spiritual Church.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. The Latin here is per descensum Domini ad inferos. This appears to be a reference to the Apostles' Creed and the Athanasian Creed, which, in their traditional Latin versions, contain the phrase descendit ad inferos (He descended to the lower regions). The traditional English version says He descended into hell.

6854. 'And I have come down to deliver them from the hand of the Egyptians' means that He would stoop down to them to release them from the power of false factual knowledge, which tries to destroy the truths of the Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming down' as stooping down, dealt with below; from the meaning of 'to deliver' as to release, for one who releases people from falsities delivers or sets them free; from the meaning of 'the hand' as the power, dealt with in 878, 3387, 3563, 4931-4937, 5544; and from the meaning of 'the Egyptians' as false factual knowledge, which is opposed to the Church's truths, dealt with in 6651, 6679, 6683, and so which tries to destroy them. As regards the Lord's coming down, the situation is that the Lord is said to come or stoop down when He comes to judgement, 1311, and also when He comes down to lower things, in this instance to those belonging to the spiritual Church, who are meant by 'the children of Israel'. For the subject in the internal sense is the way in which those people are molested by falsities, at which time they undergo temptations, and the way in which after that they are set free in order that they may be led into heaven.

[2] But the contents of the internal sense of this verse and of those that follow hold an even deeper mystery which the Church does not yet know about and which must therefore be disclosed. Those who are termed spiritual are people for whom only the understanding part of their mind, not the will part, can be regenerated. In the understanding part of their mind the Lord therefore implants a new will, a will which conforms to the teachings that compose the faith of their Church. These people, that is to say, spiritual ones such as these, were saved solely by the Lord's Coming into the world. The reason why is that the Divine passing through heaven, which was the Divine Human before the Lord's Coming, could not reach them; for to be sure the teachings of their Church were for the most part not truths, and consequently the good in their will was not good either, 6427. Since those people could be saved solely by the Lord's Coming, they could not be raised into heaven before then. They were therefore kept in the meantime on the lower earth, in places there which in the Word are called 'pits'. This lower earth was besieged on every side by the hells where there were falsities, by which they were molested greatly during that time. In spite of this however the Lord protected them. But after the Lord came into the world and made the Human within Himself Divine, He set free those who were in the pits there and raised them to heaven. From these He also formed the spiritual heaven which is the second heaven. This is what is meant by the Lord's descent into the lower parts 1 and by His deliverance of those who had been bound.

[3] This is the even deeper mystery that is described in the internal sense of this verse and of those that follow. See what has been shown already regarding those who are spiritual,

The spiritual are in obscurity so far as the truth and good of faith are concerned, 2708, 2715, 2718, 2831, 2849, 2935, 2937, 3241, 3833, 6289.

Their obscurity is lightened by the Lord's Divine Human, 2716, 4402.

Because they are in obscurity so far as the truth and good of faith are concerned they are under strong attack from the hells; but the Lord is constantly protecting them, 6419.

Those who are spiritual cannot have the will part of their mind regenerated, only the understanding part; and there the Lord forms a new will, 863, 875, 895, 927, 918, 1023, 1043, 1044, 2156, 4328, 4493, 5113.

The spiritual were saved by the Lord's Coming into the world, 2833, 2834, 3969.

[4] Various places in the prophetical part of the Word mention 'the bound' or 'the bound in the pit' and the fact that the Lord delivered them. The bound' should be taken to mean specifically those spoken of just above, as in Isaiah,

I Jehovah have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, because I will guard you, and give you to be a covenant of the people, 2 a light of the nations, to open the blind eyes, to bring the bound out of prison, out of the dungeon-house those who sit in darkness. Isaiah 42:6-7.

In the same prophet,

I have guarded you, and I have given you as covenant of the people - to restore the land; to share out the devastated inheritances; to say to the bound, Go out; to those who are in darkness, Reveal yourselves. They will feed along the ways, and on all slopes will their pasture be. Isaiah 49:8-9.

This plainly refers to the Lord. 'The bound' stands in particular for those who were held back on the lower earth until the Lord's Coming, when they were raised up to heaven, and in general for all who are governed by good, yet are held back as though bound by falsities, from which however they wish to break away.

[5] In Zechariah,

Through the blood of your covenant I will let out your bound ones from the pit. Zechariah 9:11.

In Isaiah,

They will surely be gathered together, the bound ones in the pit, and they will be shut up in the dungeon; after a multitude of days they will be visited. Isaiah 24:21.

'The bound ones in the pit' stands for the same people. And in addition to these places the same meaning can be seen from the following words in Isaiah,

Jehovah has anointed Me to bring good tidings to the poor. He has sent Me to bind up the broken in heart; to preach liberty to captives, to those who are bound, to him who is blind; to proclaim the year of Jehovah's good pleasure. Isaiah 61:1-2.

And elsewhere,

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; those dwelling in the land of the shadow of death, upon them has the light shone out. Isaiah 9:2.
