Numero 10

Studie

   

1 At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, na sinasabi,

2 Gumawa ka ng dalawang pakakak na pilak; yari sa pamukpok gagawin mo: at iyong gagamitin sa pagtawag sa kapisanan, at sa paglalakbay ng mga kampamento.

3 At pagka kanilang hihipan, ay magpipisan sa iyo ang buong kapisanan sa pintuan ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan.

4 At kung kanilang hihipan ang isa lamang, ang mga prinsipe nga, ang mga pangulo sa mga libolibong taga Israel, ay magpipisan sa iyo.

5 At paghihip ninyo ng hudyat, ay magsisisulong ang mga kampamento na nasa dakong silanganan.

6 At paghihip ninyo ng hudyat na ikalawa, ay magsisisulong ang mga kampamento na nasa dakong timugan: sila'y hihihip ng isang hudyat para sa kanilang paglalakbay.

7 Datapuwa't pagka ang kapisanan ay magpipisan ay hihihip kayo, nguni't huwag ninyong patutunuging ayon sa hudyat.

8 At ang mga anak ni Aaron, ang mga saserdote, ay magsisihihip ng mga pakakak; at magiging palatuntunan sa inyo magpakailan man sa buong panahon ng inyong mga lahi.

9 At pagka makikipagbaka kayo sa inyong lupain laban sa kaaway na sa inyo'y pumipighati, ay inyo ngang patutunugin ang hudyat ng pakakak; at kayo'y aalalahanin sa harap ng Panginoon ninyong Dios, at kayo'y maliligtas sa inyong mga kaaway.

10 Gayon sa kaarawan ng inyong kasayahan, at sa inyong mga takdang kapistahan, at sa mga pasimula ng inyong mga buwan, ay inyong hihipan ang mga pakakak sa ibabaw ng inyong mga handog na susunugin, at sa ibabaw ng mga hain ng inyong mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan; at sa inyo'y magiging alaala sa harap ng inyong Dios: ako ang Panginoon ninyong Dios.

11 At nangyari sa ikalawang taon, nang ikalawang buwan, nang ikadalawang pung araw ng buwan, na ang ulap ay napaitaas mula sa tabernakulo ng patotoo.

12 At ang mga anak ni Israel ay nagsisulong, ayon sa kanilang mga paglalakbay mula sa ilang ng Sinai; at ang ulap ay tumahan sa ilang ng Paran.

13 At kanilang pinasimulan ang kanilang paglalakbay ayon sa utos ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ni Moises.

14 At unang sumulong ang watawat ng kampamento ng mga anak ni Juda ayon sa kanilang mga hukbo; at nangungulo sa kaniyang hukbo si Naason na anak ni Aminadab.

15 At nangungulo sa hukbo ng lipi ng mga anak ni Issachar, si Nathanael na anak ni Suar.

16 At nangungulo sa hukbo ng lipi ng mga anak ni Zebulon, si Eliab na anak ni Helon.

17 At ang tabernakulo ay tinanggal at ang mga anak ni Gerson at ang mga anak ni Merari, na mga may dala ng tabernakulo ay nagsisulong.

18 At ang watawat ng kampamento ng Ruben ay sumulong ayon sa kanilang mga hukbo: at nangungulo sa kaniyang hukbo si Elisur na anak ni Sedeur.

19 At nangungulo sa hukbo ng lipi ng mga anak ni Simeon si Selumiel na anak ni Zurisaddai.

20 At nangungulo sa hukbo ng lipi ng mga anak ni Gad, si Eliasaph na anak ni Dehuel.

21 At ang mga Coathita ay nagsisulong na dala ang santuario: at itinayo ng iba ang tabernakulo samantalang ang mga ito'y nagsisidating.

22 At ang watawat ng kampamento ng mga anak ni Ephraim ay nagsisulong ayon sa kanilang mga hukbo: at nangungulo sa kaniyang hukbo si Elisama na anak ni Ammiud.

23 At nangungulo sa hukbo ng lipi ng mga anak ni Manases, si Gamaliel na anak ni Pedasur.

24 At nangungulo sa hukbo ng lipi ng mga anak ni Benjamin, si Abidan na anak ni Gedeon.

25 At ang watawat ng kampamento ng mga anak ni Dan na siyang nasa hulihan ng lahat ng mga kampamento ay nagsisulong ayon sa kanilang mga hukbo: at nangungulo sa kaniyang hukbo si Ahiezer na anak ni Ammisaddai.

26 At nangungulo sa hukbo ng lipi ng mga anak ni Aser si Phegiel na anak ni Ocran.

27 At nangungulo sa hukbo ng lipi ng mga anak ni Nephtali si Ahira na anak ni Enan.

28 Ganito ang mga paglalakbay ng mga anak ni Israel, ayon sa kanilang mga hukbo; at sila'y nagsisulong.

29 At si Moises ay nagsabi kay Hobab na anak ni Rehuel na Madianita, biyanan ni Moises: Kami ay naglalakbay sa dakong sinabi ng Panginoon, Aking ibibigay sa inyo: sumama ka sa amin at gagawan ka namin ng mabuti: sapagka't ang Panginoon ay nagsalita ng mabuti tungkol sa Israel.

30 At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Ako'y hindi paroroon; kundi ako'y babalik sa aking sariling lupain, at sa aking kamaganakan.

31 At sinabi ni Moises, Huwag mo kaming iwan, ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo; sapagka't nalalaman mo kung paanong hahantong kami sa ilang, at ikaw ay maaari sa aming pinakamata.

32 At mangyayari, na kung ikaw ay sasama sa amin, oo, mangyayari, na anomang mabuting gagawin ng Panginoon sa amin, ay siya rin naming gagawin sa iyo.

33 At sila'y nagsisulong mula sa bundok ng Panginoon ng tatlong araw na paglalakbay; at ang kaban ng tipan ng Panginoon ay nasa unahan nila ng tatlong araw nilang paglalakbay, upang ihanap sila ng dakong kanilang mapagpapahingahan.

34 At ang ulap ng Panginoon ay nasa itaas nila sa araw, pagka sila'y sumulong mula sa kampamento.

35 At nangyari pagka ang kaban ay isinulong na sinabi ni Moises, Bumangon ka, Oh Panginoon, at mangalat ang mga kaaway mo, at magsitakas sa harap mo ang nangapopoot sa iyo.

36 At pagka inilapag ay kaniyang sinabi, Bumalik ka, Oh Panginoon sa mga laksang libolibong Israelita.

Aaron

The Third Plague of Egypt, by William de Brailes, illustrates the flies, or gnats, rising from the dust.

This page from Walters manuscript W.106 depicts a scene from Exodus, in which God rained plagues upon Egypt. After plagues of blood and frogs, Pharaoh hardened his heart again and would not let the Israelites leave Egypt. God told Moses to tell Aaron to stretch forth his rod and strike the dust of the earth that it may become gnats throughout the land of Egypt. Here, Moses, horned (a sign of his encounter with divinity), carries the rod, while Aaron, wearing the miter of a priest, stands behind him. The gnats arise en masse out of the dust from which they were made and attack Pharaoh, seated and crowned, and his retinue.

Aaron was the brother of Moses. He symbolizes two things, at different stages of the story.

During the first part of the exodus, when he was Moses' spokesperson, Moses represents the Word as it truly is, as it is understood in heaven, while Aaron represents the Word in its external sense, as it is understood by people in the world. This is why Aaron talks for Moses, and the Lord says of him "he shall be as a mouth for you, and you shall be to him as God." (Exodus 4:16)

Later, after the Tabernacle was built and he was inaugurated as high priest (see Leviticus 8,9), Aaron represents the Lord as to the Divine Good, and Moses represents the Lord as to the Divine Truth.

In Exodus 28:1, Aaron signifies the conjunction of Divine Good with Divine Truth in the Divine Human of the Lord. (Arcana Coelestia 9806, 9936)

In Exodus 32:1, Aaron represents the external of the Word, of the church, and of worship, separate from the internal. (Arcana Coelestia 10397)

In Exodus 4:14, before he was initiated into the priesthood, Aaron represents the doctrine of good and truth. (Arcana Coelestia 6998)

Genesis 45

Studie

   

1 Then Joseph couldn't control himself before all those who stood before him, and he cried, "Cause everyone to go out from me!" No one else stood with him, while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.

2 He wept aloud. The Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.

3 Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph! Does my father still live?" His brothers couldn't answer him; for they were terrified at his presence.

4 Joseph said to his brothers, "Come near to me, please." They came near. "He said, I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.

5 Now don't be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.

6 For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are yet five years, in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest.

7 God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.

8 So now it wasn't you who sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

9 Hurry, and go up to my father, and tell him, 'This is what your son Joseph says, "God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me. Don't wait.

10 You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you will be near to me, you, your children, your children's children, your flocks, your herds, and all that you have.

11 There I will nourish you; for there are yet five years of famine; lest you come to poverty, you, and your household, and all that you have."'

12 Behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.

13 You shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen. You shall hurry and bring my father down here."

14 He fell on his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.

15 He kissed all his brothers, and wept on them. After that his brothers talked with him.

16 The report of it was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, "Joseph's brothers have come." It pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.

17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Tell your brothers, 'Do this. Load your animals, and go, travel to the land of Canaan.

18 Take your father and your households, and come to me, and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat of the land.'

19 Now you are commanded: do this. Take wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.

20 Also, don't concern yourselves about your belongings, for the good of all of the land of Egypt is yours."

21 The sons of Israel did so. Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.

22 He gave each one of them changes of clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothing.

23 He sent the following to his father: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provision for his father by the way.

24 So he sent his brothers away, and they departed. He said to them, "See that you don't quarrel on the way."

25 They went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father.

26 They told him, saying, "Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt." His heart fainted, for he didn't believe them.

27 They told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them. When he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob, their father, revived.

28 Israel said, "It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die."
