1 El SEÑOR dijo a Moisés: Mira, yo te he constituido por dios del Faraón, y tu hermano Aarón será tu profeta.

2 Tú dirás todas las cosas que yo te mandaré, y Aarón tu hermano hablará al Faraón, para que deje ir de su tierra a los hijos de Israel.

3 Y yo endureceré el corazón del Faraón, y multiplicaré en la tierra de Egipto mis señales y mis maravillas.

4 Y el Faraón no os oirá; mas yo pondré mi mano sobre Egipto, y sacaré a mis ejércitos, mi pueblo, los hijos de Israel, de la tierra de Egipto, por grandes juicios.

5 Y sabrán los egipcios que yo soy el SEÑOR, cuando extendiere mi mano sobre Egipto, y sacare los hijos de Israel de en medio de ellos.

6 E hizo Moisés y Aarón como el SEÑOR les mandó: así lo hicieron.

7 Moisés entonces era de edad de ochenta años, y Aarón de edad de ochenta y tres, cuando hablaron al Faraón.

8 Y habló el SEÑOR a Moisés y a Aarón, diciendo:

9 Si el Faraón os respondiere diciendo: Mostrad milagro; dirás a Aarón: Toma tu vara, y échala delante del Faraón, para que se torne dragón.

10 Vinieron, pues , Moisés y Aarón al Faraón, e hicieron como el SEÑOR lo había mandado; y echó Aarón su vara delante del Faraón y de sus siervos, y se tornó dragón.

11 Entonces llamó también el Faraón sabios y encantadores; e hicieron también lo mismo los encantadores de Egipto con sus encantamientos;

12 pues echó cada uno su vara, las cuales se volvieron dragones; mas la vara de Aarón tragó las varas de ellos.

13 Y el corazón del Faraón se endureció, y no los escuchó; como el SEÑOR lo había dicho.

14 Entonces el SEÑOR dijo a Moisés: El corazón del Faraón está agravado, que no quiere dejar ir al pueblo.

15 Ve por la mañana al Faraón, he aquí que él sale a las aguas; y ponte a la orilla del río delante de él, y toma en tu mano la vara que se volvió culebra,

16 y dile: El SEÑOR, el Dios de los hebreos me ha enviado a ti, diciendo: Deja ir a mi pueblo, para que me sirvan en el desierto; y he aquí que hasta ahora no has querido oír.

17 Así ha dicho el SEÑOR: En esto conocerás que yo soy el SEÑOR; he aquí, yo heriré con la vara que tengo en mi mano el agua que está en el río, y se volverá sangre.

18 Y los peces que hay en el río morirán, y hederá el río, y tendrán asco los egipcios de beber el agua del río.

19 Y el SEÑOR dijo a Moisés: Di a Aarón: Toma tu vara, y extiende tu mano sobre las aguas de Egipto, sobre sus ríos, sobre sus arroyos y sobre sus estanques, y sobre todos sus recogimientos de aguas, para que se vuelvan sangre, y haya sangre por toda la región de Egipto, así en los vasos de madera como en los de piedra.

20 Y Moisés y Aarón hicieron como el SEÑOR lo mandó; y alzando la vara hirió las aguas que había en el río, en presencia del Faraón y de sus siervos; y todas las aguas que había en el río se volvieron sangre.

21 Asimismo los peces que había en el río murieron; y el río se corrompió, que los egipcios no podían beber de él; y hubo sangre por toda la tierra de Egipto.

22 Y los encantadores de Egipto hicieron lo mismo con sus encantamientos; y el corazón del Faraón se endureció, y no los escuchó; como el SEÑOR lo había dicho.

23 Y tornando el Faraón se volvió a su casa, y aun con esto no se convirtió.

24 Y en todo Egipto hicieron pozos alrededor del río para beber, porque no podían beber de las aguas del río.

25 Y se cumplieron siete días después que el SEÑOR hirió el río.

7189. 'And with a strong hand he will drive them out of his land' means that with all their strength and power they will make them flee from their proximity. This is clear from the meaning of 'with a strong hand' as with all their strength and power, dealt with immediately above in 7188; from the meaning of 'driving them out' as making them flee; and from the meaning of 'his land' as proximity. The land where those who belong to the spiritual Church are molested by falsities is in close proximity to the hells that molest them and is called the lower earth, see 7090. Therefore 'out of his land' means from their proximity.

7090. 'And said to Pharaoh' means an admonition [from them] to those who are opposed to the Church's truths. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' - since it came by Divine command from Moses and Aaron - as an admonition, as also in 7033; and from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as factual knowledge that is opposed to the Church's truths, dealt with in 6651, 6673, 6683, thus people who are opposed to them. Here and in what follows the subject is those belonging to the spiritual Church who were saved through the Lord's Coming into the world but who before His Coming had been held back on the lower earth, where they were harassed by falsities, that is, by those from hell steeped in falsities stemming from evil. That lower earth is situated below the soles of the feet and is surrounded by hells - in front of it those who have falsified truths and adulterated forms of good; to the right those who pervert Divine order and thereby strive to obtain power; to the rear the evil genii who, motivated by self-love, have secretly devised evil against their neighbour; and deep down underneath those who have rejected the Divine with utter contempt and worshipped nature, and in so doing have banished from themselves everything spiritual. Such are the hells surrounding those on the lower earth, where before the Lord's Coming people belonging to the spiritual Church were held in safe keeping. Though they were molested there the Lord protected them, and they were brought into heaven with the Lord when He rose again. See what has been stated and shown already regarding these people in 6854, 6865, 6914, 6945, 7035.

[2] The lower earth where those who belonged to the spiritual Church were held in safe keeping up to the Lord's Coming is mentioned a number of times in the Word, as in Isaiah,

Sing, O heavens, for Jehovah has done [it]! Shout, you lower parts of the earth! Be filled, O mountains, with singing, O forest and every tree in it! For Jehovah has redeemed Jacob, and made Himself glorious in Israel. Isaiah 44:23.

This refers to those on the lower earth, to the fact that they were saved by the Lord. 'Jacob' and 'Israel' are the spiritual Church, 'Jacob' being the external Church, 'Israel' the internal Church, 3305, 4286, 6426. In Ezekiel,

I will cause you to go down with those going down to the pit, to the people of old, 1 and I will cause you to dwell in the land of the lower ones in desolations. Ezekiel 16:20.

In the same prophet,

. . . to the lower earth in the midst of the sons of men, to those going down to the pit. Consequently all the trees of Eden, the choicest and the most excellent of Lebanon, all those drinking water, will comfort themselves on the lower earth. Ezekiel 31:14, 16.

This refers to the lower earth where those who belonged to the spiritual Church were.

[3] At the present day too those belonging to the Church who have filled their minds with worldly and also earthly ideas and have acted in such a way that the truths of faith have become tied up with them are sent down to the lower earth, where they likewise have battles to fight. These battles continue until their worldly and earthly ideas have been separated from the truths of faith and other notions have been introduced, of such a nature that they cannot be linked together any longer. Once this has been accomplished those people are raised from there into heaven; for until such ideas of theirs have been removed they cannot possibly be in the company of angels, since those ideas are full of darkness and defilement that do not accord with the light and purity of heaven. Those worldly and earthly ideas cannot be separated and removed except by means of battles against falsities, battles which take place in the following manner: Those on that lower earth are molested by illusions and by falsities based on them which emanate from inhabitants of the surrounding hells; but the Lord employs heaven to rebut those illusions and falsities and at the same time to introduce truths. These truths seem to reside with those undergoing the conflicts.

[4] All this being so, the spiritual Church ought to be spoken of as a militant Church. But at the present day it is rarely militant with anyone in the world; for while a member of the Church is living in the world he does not experience conflict, because of the wicked crowded around him and because of the weakness of the flesh in which he lives. In the next life a person may be held firmly by the bonds of conscience, but not so in the world, for if in the world he is subjected to any degree of despair, as normally happens to those undergoing conflicts, he instantly breaks those bonds. And if he breaks them he gives in; and if he gives in he is done for so far as his salvation is concerned. This explains why the Lord allows few within the Church at the present day to enter into battles against falsities on behalf of truths; those battles are spiritual temptations. See also what has been shown already regarding the lower earth and vastations that take place there, in 4728, 4940-4951, 6854.
