1 Et Moïse répondit, et dit : mais voici, ils ne me croiront point, et n'obéiront point à ma parole ; car ils diront : l'Eternel ne t'est point apparu.

2 Et l'Eternel lui dit : Qu'est-ce [que tu as] en ta main? Il répondit : une verge.

3 Et [Dieu lui] dit : jette-la par terre; et il la jeta par terre, et elle devint un serpent. Et Moïse s'enfuyait de devant lui.

4 Et l'Eternel dit à Moïse : étends ta main, et saisis sa queue; et il étendit sa main, et l'empoigna; et il redevint une verge en sa main.

5 Et [cela], afin qu'ils croient que l'Eternel, le Dieu de leurs pères, le Dieu d'Abraham, le Dieu d'Isaac, et le Dieu de Jacob, t'est apparu.

6 L'Eternel lui dit encore : mets maintenant ta main dans ton sein, et il mit sa main dans son sein; puis il la tira; et voici, sa main [était blanche] de lèpre comme la neige.

7 Et [Dieu lui] dit : remets ta main dans ton sein; et il remit sa main dans son sein; puis il la retira hors de son sein; et voici, elle était redevenue comme son autre chair.

8 Mais s'il arrive qu'ils ne te croient point, et qu'ils n'obéissent point à la voix du premier signe, ils croiront à la voix du second signe.

9 Et s'il arrive qu'ils ne croient point à ces deux signes, et qu'ils n'obéissent point à ta parole, tu prendras de l'eau du fleuve, et tu la répandras sur la terre, et les eaux que tu auras prises du fleuve, deviendront du sang sur la terre.

10 Et Moïse répondit à l'Eternel : hélas, Seigneur! Je ne [suis] point un homme qui ait ni d'hier, ni de devant hier, la parole aisée, même depuis que tu as parlé à ton serviteur; car j'ai la bouche et la langue empêchées.

11 Et l'Eternel lui dit : qui [est-ce] qui a fait la bouche de l'homme? ou qui a fait le muet, ou le sourd, ou le voyant, ou l'aveugle? n'est-ce pas moi, l'Eternel?

12 Va donc maintenant, et je serai avec ta bouche, et je t'enseignerai ce que tu auras à dire.

13 Et [Moïse] répondit : hélas! Seigneur, envoie, je te prie, celui que tu dois envoyer.

14 Et la colère de l'Eternel s'embrasa contre Moïse, et il lui dit : Aaron le Lévite n'est-il pas ton frère? je sais qu'il parlera très-bien, et même le voilà qui sort à ta rencontre, et quand il te verra, il se réjouira dans son cœur.

15 Tu lui parleras donc et tu mettras ces paroles en sa bouche; et je serai avec ta bouche et avec la sienne, et je vous enseignerai ce que vous aurez à faire.

16 Et il parlera pour toi au peuple, et ainsi il te sera pour bouche, et tu lui seras pour Dieu.

17 Tu prendras aussi en ta main cette verge, avec laquelle tu feras ces signes-là.

18 Ainsi Moïse s'en alla, et retourna vers Jéthro son beau-père, et lui dit : je te prie, que je m'en aille, et que je retourne vers mes frères qui [sont] en Egypte, pour voir s'ils vivent encore. Et Jéthro lui dit : Va en paix.

19 Or l'Eternel dit à Moïse au pays de Madian : Va, [et] retourne en Egypte; car tous ceux qui cherchaient ta vie sont morts.

20 Ainsi Moïse prit sa femme, et ses fils, et les mit sur un âne, et retourna au pays d'Egypte. Moïse prit aussi la verge de Dieu en sa main.

21 Et L'Eternel avait dit à Moïse : quand tu t'en iras pour retourner en Egypte, tu prendras garde à tous les miracles que j'ai mis en ta main; et tu les feras devant Pharaon; mais j'endurcirai son cœur, et il ne laissera point aller le peuple.

22 Tu diras donc à Pharaon, ainsi a dit L'Eternel : Israël est mon fils, mon premier-né.

23 Et je t'ai dit : laisse aller mon fils, afin qu'il me serve; mais tu as refusé de le laisser aller. Voici, je m'en vais tuer ton fils, ton premier-né.

24 Or il arriva que [comme Moïse était] en chemin dans l'hôtellerie, l'Eternel le rencontra, et chercha de le faire mourir.

25 Et Séphora prit un couteau tranchant, et en coupa le prépuce de son fils, et le jeta à ses pieds, et dit : certes tu m'[es] un époux de sang.

26 Alors [l'Eternel] se retira de lui; et elle dit : époux de sang; à cause de la circoncision.

27 Et l'Eternel dit à Aaron : va-t'en au devant de Moïse au désert. Il y alla donc, et le rencontra en la montagne de Dieu et le baisa.

28 Et Moïse raconta à Aaron toutes les paroles de l'Eternel qui l'avait envoyé, et tous les signes qu'il lui avait commandés [de faire].

29 Moïse donc poursuivit son chemin avec Aaron; et ils assemblèrent tous les anciens des enfants d'Israël.

30 Et Aaron dit toutes les paroles que l'Eternel avait dit à Moïse; et fit les signes devant les yeux du peuple.

31 Et le peuple crut; et ils apprirent que l'Eternel avait visité les enfants d'Israël, et qu'il avait vu leur affliction; et ils s'inclinèrent, et se prosternèrent.

6947. 'What is that in your hand? And he said, A rod' means the power of the Lord's Divine Human. This is clear from the meaning of 'hand' as power, dealt with in 878, 3387, 4931-4937, 5327, 5328, 5544; and from the meaning of 'a rod' too as power, dealt with in 4013, 4876, 4936. The reason why it is the power of the Lord's Divine Human is that 'Moses' represents the Lord in respect of the law of God, which is the Word, and this is Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Human, 6752. The power meant by 'hand' is the power emanating from the Lord's Divine Rational, whereas the power meant by 'the rod' is the power emanating from the Lord's Divine Natural. The reason why 'a rod' is the power emanating from the Lord's Divine Natural is that a rod is like a foot in that it supports the body, and by 'the foot' is meant the natural, 2161, 3147, 3761, 3986, 4280, 4938-4952; and 'lifting up the hand' is power in the spiritual, while 'lifting up the foot' is power in the natural, see 5727, 5328. And since 'hand' and 'rod' have these meanings, then depending on how high the things described in the internal sense rise Moses was sometimes told, when he was to work miracles, to lift up his hand, at other times his rod.

3986. 'And Jehovah has blessed you since I set foot here' means resulting from the Divine endowment which the natural possessed. This is clear from the meaning of 'Jehovah blessing' as being endowed with good, dealt with in 3406, and as a joining together, 3504, 3514, 3530, 3565, 3584. 'Jehovah blessing' accordingly means being endowed with Divine good by means of a joining together, at this point a joining to the good of the natural represented by 'Jacob', the natural being meant by 'the foot'. As regards 'the foot' meaning the natural, see 2162, 3147, 3761; and this will be clear in addition from the correspondence of the Grand Man with every part of the human being, the subject in the sections at the ends of chapters. From this it is evident that 'Jehovah has blessed you since I set foot here' means originating in the Divine which the natural possessed.

[2] The arcanum which lies concealed in these words and in those immediately before them is known to few, if any, and is therefore to be revealed. The goods present with people both inside the Church and outside it vary in every case. They vary so much that no one person's good is ever exactly like another's. These variations arise out of the truths to which those goods are joined, for the nature of every type of good is received from truths, and truths derive their essential nature from goods. Such variations also arise out of the affections that belong to each person's love, and which become rooted in a person and are made his own through the life he leads. Few genuine truths exist even with someone inside the Church, and fewer still with one outside. Consequently affections for genuine truth seldom exist with anyone.

[3] All the same, people who lead good lives, that is, who live in love to God and in charity towards the neighbour, are saved. The reason they are able to be saved is that the Lord's Divine is present within good that stems from love to God and within good that stems from charity towards the neighbour. And when the Divine is inwardly present everything is being arranged into order so that it can be joined to genuine goods and genuine truths which exist in the heavens. The truth of this may be proven from the communities constituting heaven, which are countless. Every single community varies as regards good and truth, and yet all of them taken together form one complete heaven. They are like the members and organs of the human body which, though varying in every case, still constitute one complete human being. For no complete whole is ever made up of any identical or entirely similar individual parts, but of varying parts harmoniously joined together. Varying parts joined together harmoniously present a single whole. The same applies to goods and truths in the spiritual world. Although these vary so much as never to be exactly similar with one person as with another, nevertheless from the Divine through love and charity they make one since love and charity are spiritual conjunction. Their variation is a heavenly harmony which produces such accord that they are one in the Divine, that is, in the Lord.

[4] Furthermore, however much truths may vary, and however much affections for truth may do so, good that stems from love to God and good that stems from charity towards the neighbour are nevertheless capable of receiving genuine truth and good, as they are not so to speak hard and resistant but soft and yielding. They allow themselves to be led by the Lord and in so doing to be turned towards good, and through good to be turned towards Him. It is different with those in whom self-love and love of the world reign. They do not allow themselves to be led and turned by the Lord towards the Lord but strongly resist, since each wishes to be his own leader, even more so when they have become subject to false and firmly established assumptions. As long as they are such they do not allow the Divine to come in.

[5] These considerations now make clear what is meant in the internal sense by these words which Jacob addressed to Laban, for 'Laban' means the kind of good which is not genuine because it does not have genuine truths planted within it but is nevertheless capable of having these joined to it and of having the Divine present within it. This kind of good is what normally exists with young children before they have received genuine truths. It is also the kind of good present with simple people within the Church who know few truths of faith but who nevertheless lead a charitable life. It is in addition the kind of good present with upright gentiles who offer holy worship to their gods. By means of such good, genuine truths and goods are able to be introduced, as may be seen from what has been stated about young children and simple people inside the Church in 3690, and about upright gentiles outside the Church in 2598-2603.
