Exodus 4

1 Odpověděl pak Mojžíš, a řekl: Aj, neuvěří mi, ani uposlechnou hlasu mého; nebo řeknou: Neukázalť se tobě Hospodin.

2 Tedy řekl jemu Hospodin: Co jest to v ruce tvé? Odpověděl: Hůl.

3 I řekl: Vrz ji na zem. I povrhl ji na zem, a obrácena jest v hada; a utíkal Mojžíš před ním.

4 Tedy řekl Hospodin Mojžíšovi: Vztáhni ruku svou, a chyť ho za ocas. Kterýžto vztáh ruku svou, chytil jej, a obrácen jest v hůl v rukou jeho.

5 Aby věřili, že se ukázal tobě Hospodin, Bůh otců jejich, Bůh Abrahamův, Bůh Izákův a Bůh Jákobův.

6 Potom zase řekl jemu Hospodin: Vlož nyní ruku svou za ňadra svá. I vložil ruku svou za ňadra svá; a vyňal ji, a aj, ruka jeho byla malomocná, bílá jako sníh.

7 Řekl opět: Vlož ruku svou zase v ňadra svá. Kterýž vložil ruku svou zase v ňadra svá; a vyňal ji z ňader svých, a aj, učiněna jest zase jako jiné tělo jeho.

8 I budeť, jestliže neuvěří tobě, a neposlechnou hlasu a znamení prvního, uvěří hlasu a znamení druhému.

9 A pakli neuvěří ani těm dvěma znamením, a neuposlechnou hlasu tvého, tedy nabereš vody z řeky, a vyliješ ji na zem; a promění se vody, kteréž vezmeš z řeky, a obrátí se v krev na zemi.

10 I řekl Mojžíš Hospodinu: Prosím, Pane, nejsem muž výmluvný, aniž prvé, ani jakž jsi mluvil s služebníkem svým; nebo zpozdilých úst a neohbitého jazyku jsem.

11 Jemuž odpověděl Hospodin: Kdo dal ústa člověku? Aneb kdo může učiniti němého, neb hluchého, vidoucího, neb slepého? Zdali ne já Hospodin?

12 Nyní tedy jdi, a já budu v ústech tvých, a naučím tě, co bys mluviti měl.

13 I řekl: Slyš mne, Pane, pošli, prosím, toho, kteréhož poslati máš.

14 A rozhněvav se velmi Hospodin na Mojžíše, řekl: Zdaliž nemáš Arona bratra svého z pokolení Léví? Vím, že on výmluvný jest; ano aj, sám vyjde v cestu tobě, a vida tebe, radovati se bude v srdci svém.

15 Ty mluviti budeš k němu, a vložíš slova v ústa jeho; a já budu v ústech tvých a v ústech jeho, a naučím vás, co byste měli činiti.

16 A on mluviti bude za tebe k lidu; a bude tobě on za ústa, a ty budeš jemu za Boha.

17 Hůl pak tuto vezmeš v ruku svou, kterouž činiti budeš ta znamení.

18 Tedy odšed Mojžíš, navrátil se k Jetrovi tchánu svému, a řekl jemu: Nechť jdu nyní, a navrátím se k bratřím svým, kteříž jsou v Egyptě, a pohledím, jsou-li ještě živi. I řekl Jetro Mojžíšovi: Jdi v pokoji.

19 Nebo řekl byl Hospodin Mojžíšovi v zemi Madianské: Jdi, navrať se do Egypta; nebo zemřeli jsou všickni muži, kteříž hledali bezživotí tvého.

20 A vzav Mojžíš ženu svou, a syny své, vsadil je na osla, aby se navrátil do země Egyptské; vzal také Mojžíš hůl Boží v ruku svou.

21 I řekl Hospodin Mojžíšovi: Když půjdeš a navrátíš se do Egypta, hleď, abys všecky zázraky, kteréž jsem složil v ruce tvé, činil před Faraonem. Jáť pak zatvrdím srdce jeho, aby nepropustil lidu.

22 Protož díš Faraonovi: Toto praví Hospodin: Syn můj, prvorozený můj jest Izrael.

23 I řekl jsem tobě: Propusť syna mého, ať slouží mi; a nechtěl jsi ho propustiti. Aj, já zabiji syna tvého, prvorozeného tvého.

24 I stalo se, když byl Mojžíš na cestě v hospodě, že se obořil na něj Hospodin, a hledal ho usmrtiti.

25 Tedy vzala Zefora nůž ostrý, a obřezala neobřízku syna svého, kteroužto vrhla k nohám jeho, řkuci: Zajisté ženich krví jsi mi.

26 I nechal ho. Ona pak nazvala ho tehdáž ženichem krví pro obřezání.

27 Řekl také Hospodin Aronovi: Jdi vstříc Mojžíšovi na poušť. I šel a potkal se s ním na hoře Boží, a políbil ho.

28 A vypravoval Mojžíš Aronovi všecka slova Hospodinova, kterýž ho poslal, i o všech znameních, kteráž přikázal jemu.

29 Tedy šel Mojžíš s Aronem, a shromáždili všecky starší synů Izraelských.

30 I mluvil Aron všecka slova, kteráž byl mluvil Hospodin k Mojžíšovi, a činil znamení před očima lidu.

31 A uvěřil lid, když uslyšeli, že navštívil Hospodin syny Izraelské, a že viděl ssoužení jejich. A sklonivše se, poklonu učinili.

6945. For they will say, Jehovah hath not been seen of thee. That this signifies the Divine which is in the Lord’s Human, is evident from the signification of “saying,” as being perception (of which frequently above), here the perception of those who are of the spiritual church; and from the signification of “Jehovah seen,” as being the appearing of the Lord’s Divine in His Human. That “to be seen” denotes to appear is evident, and that “Jehovah” is the Lord as to the Divine Itself and as to the Divine Human, may be seen above (n. 1736, 2004, 2005, 2018, 2025, 2156, 2329, 2921, 3023, 3035, 5041, 5663, 6281, 6303, 6905). That “Jehovah seen” denotes the appearing of the Lord’s Divine in His Human, is evident also from the fact that His Divine cannot appear to any man, nor even to any angel, except through the Divine Human; nor the Divine Human except through the Divine truth which proceeds from Him. Here in the internal sense the subject treated of is the liberation of those who are of the spiritual church. (That these were liberated by the Lord’s coming into the world, see n. 2661, 2716, 3969, 6854, 6914; and that these specifically were saved by means of the Lord’s Divine Human, n. 2716, 2833, 2834.)

[2] As regards this statement, that the people of that church would not have faith, and would not receive what the law Divine represented by Moses (that is, what the Word) says, unless they saw signs, the case is this. These people, being of the spiritual church, have no perception of truth from good, as the celestial have, but acknowledge as truth every doctrinal matter of their church which they have confirmed in themselves, and are therefore relatively in obscurity (n. 2718, 2831, 2849, 2935, 2937, 3833, 6427, 6500, 6865), as can also be seen from the fact that they do not at all comprehend how the Lord’s Human can be Divine; nor that the Divine love in the Human can effect this; for they keep their thought in a human such as exists with man, and they do not recede from this thought when they think of the Lord, in such an entanglement are they. The same can also be seen from the fact that neither do they comprehend how man can live after death, and at the same time have senses, such as sight, hearing, touch, and smell, and be in a human form there. That such is man when he has cast away his body and its senses and members, appears to them foreign to the truth, so enwrapped are they in things of sense, and in the memory-knowledges and fallacies thence derived; and therefore unless they believed that the body will again be conjoined with the soul, they would have no belief whatever in any resurrection.

[3] From all this it is sufficiently evident in how much obscurity they are as regards the things of heaven; and hence it is that no faith can ever be implanted in them unless they are withheld by the Lord from falsities by a mighty force. And as there was no such force before the Lord’s coming, but only after His coming, when He had made the Human in Himself Divine, therefore they could not be taken out of the lower earth, where they were being infested by falsities, and be taken up into heaven, until after the Lord’s resurrection (n. 6914). From this then it is that it is said that they would not believe, thus neither would receive what the law Divine, that is, the truth Divine says, unless they saw that it is so, thus unless they saw signs (of which below).

6426. From thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel. That this signifies that from this is all good and truth in the spiritual kingdom, is evident from the signification of a “shepherd,” as being one who leads to the good of charity by means of the truth of faith (see n. 344, 3795, 6044); here in the supreme sense, because the Lord is treated of, it signifies good and truth itself; from the signification of “stone,” as being truth (see n. 1298, 3720, 3769, 3771, 3773, 3789, 3798); and from the representation of Israel, as being the spiritual church (see n. 3305, 4286); for “Israel” is spiritual good, or the good of truth (n. 4286, 4598, 5801, 5803, 5806, 5812, 5817, 5819, 5826, 5833); and as the good of truth is the very essential of the spiritual church, therefore by “Israel” the spiritual church is signified, and in a higher sense the Lord’s spiritual kingdom.

[2] From all this it is evident that by “from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel” is signified that from this is all the good and truth of the Lord’s spiritual kingdom. That in the highest sense the “stone of Israel” denotes the Lord in respect to the truth that is in His spiritual kingdom, is because by “stone” in general is signified the temple, and specifically its foundation, and by the “temple” is signified the Lord’s Divine Human (as is evident in John 2:19, 21), and also by its foundation (Matthew 21:42, 44; and Isaiah 28:16). That in the highest sense a “stone” denotes the Lord as to the Divine truth that is of His spiritual kingdom, is evident in David:

The stone which the architects rejected, is become the head of the corner. This was done from Jehovah: it is marvelous in our eyes (Psalms 118:22-23).

That the “stone” here is the Lord, is evident in Luke:

It is written, The stone which the architects rejected, the same is become the head of the whosoever shall fall upon this stone shall be broken; but upon whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder (Luke 20:17-18).

These words the Lord speaks concerning Himself. And in Isaiah:

Let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread; for He shall be for a sanctuary, although a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense, to the two houses of Israel; many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken (Isaiah 8:13-15); where the subject treated of is the Lord. Again:

Thus said the Lord Jehovih, Behold I will lay for a foundation in Zion a stone, a tried stone, of a precious corner, of a sure foundation; he that believeth shall not hurry (Isaiah 28:16).

In Zechariah:

Jehovah Zebaoth shall visit His flock, the house of Judah, and shall make them as a horse of glory in war; from Him is the corner stone, from Him the nail, from Him the war bow (Zech. 10:3-4).

[3] In Daniel:

Thou sawest even until a stone was cut out which was not done with hands, and it smote the image upon its feet, that were iron and clay, and brake them in pieces. The stone that smote the image became a great rock, and filled the whole earth. The God of the heavens shall make a kingdom rise up that shall not be destroyed forever, nor shall His kingdom be left to another people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, but itself shall stand forever. Forasmuch as thou sawest that a stone was cut out of the rock, which was not done with hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold (Daniel 2:34-35, 44-45);

here by a “stone” in the highest sense is meant the Lord, and in the relative sense His spiritual kingdom; that the stone was “cut out of a rock” signifies that it was from the truth of faith, for this is signified in the Word by a “rock;” and as the truth of faith is signified by “stone” and “rock,” it is the Lord’s spiritual kingdom that is also signified, for this is in the truth of faith, and from this in good.

[4] By the “stone” also upon which Jacob slept, and which he afterward set for a pillar, the like is signified, of which it is written:

Jacob awoke out of his sleep, and he said, Surely Jehovah is in this place, and I knew it not; and he feared, and said, How terrible is this place! this is nothing but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven. And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had set for his pillows, and set it for a pillar, and poured oil upon the head of it; and he said, This stone which I have set for a pillar shall be God’s house (Genesis 28:16-18, 22).

That in the highest sense the ancients understood the Lord by a “stone,” and in the representative sense His spiritual kingdom, is also clear in Joshua:

Joshua set up a stone under the oak that was in the sanctuary of Jehovah. And Joshua said unto the universal people, Behold, this stone shall be to us for a witness; for it hath heard all the discourses of Jehovah, which He spake to us; and it shall be for a witness against you, lest ye deny your God (Josh. 24:26-27).
