1 A Mojsije odgovori i reče: Ali neće mi verovati ni poslušati glas moj; jer će reći: Nije ti se Gospod javio.

2 A Gospod mu reče: Šta ti je to u ruci? A on odgovori: Štap.

3 A Bog mu reče: Baci ga na zemlju. I baci ga na zemlju, a on posta zmija. I Mojsije pobeže od nje.

4 A Gospod reče Mojsiju: Pruži ruku svoju, pa je uhvati za rep. I pruži ruku svoju, i uhvati je, i opet posta štap u ruci njegovoj.

5 To učini, reče Gospod, da veruju da ti se javio Gospod Bog otaca njihovih, Bog Avramov, Bog Isakov i Bog Jakovljev.

6 I opet mu reče Gospod: Turi sada ruku svoju u nedra svoja. I on turi ruku svoju u nedra svoja; a kad je izvadi iz nedara, a to ruka mu gubava, bela kao sneg.

7 A Bog mu reče: Turi opet ruku svoju u nedra svoja. I opet turi ruku svoju u nedra svoja; a kad je izvadi iz nedara, a to opet postala kao i ostalo telo njegovo.

8 Tako, reče Bog, ako ti ne uzveruju i ne poslušaju glas tvoj za prvi znak, poslušaće za drugi znak.

9 Ako li ne uzveruju ni za ta dva znaka i ne poslušaju glas tvoj, a ti zahvati vode iz reke, i prolij na zemlju, i pretvoriće se voda koju zahvatiš iz reke, i provrći će se u krv na zemlji.

10 A Mojsije reče Gospodu: Molim Ti se, Gospode, nisam rečit čovek, niti sam pre bio niti sam otkako si progovorio sa slugom svojim, nego sam sporih usta i sporog jezika.

11 A Gospod mu reče: Ko je dao usta čoveku? Ili ko može stvoriti nemog ili gluvog ili okatog ili slepog? Zar ne ja, Gospod?

12 Idi dakle, ja ću biti s ustima tvojim, i učiću te šta ćeš govoriti.

13 A Mojsije reče: Molim Te, Gospode, pošlji onog koga treba da pošalješ.

14 I razgnevi se Gospod na Mojsija, i reče mu: Nije li ti brat Aron Levit? Znam da je on rečit; i evo on će te sresti, i kad te vidi obradovaće se u srcu svom.

15 Njemu ćeš kazati i metnućeš ove reči u usta njegova, i ja ću biti s tvojim ustima i s njegovim ustima, i učiću vas šta ćete činiti.

16 I on će mesto tebe govoriti narodu, i on će biti tebi mesto usta, a ti ćeš biti njemu mesto Boga.

17 A taj štap uzmi u ruku svoju, njim ćeš činiti čudesa.

18 I otide Mojsije, i vrati se k Jotoru tastu svom, i reče mu: Pusti me da idem, da se vratim k braći svojoj u Misiru, da vidim jesu li još u životu. I reče Jotor Mojsiju: Idi s mirom.

19 I reče Gospod Mojsiju u zemlji madijanskoj: Idi, vrati se u Misir, jer su pomrli svi koji su tražili dušu tvoju.

20 I uze Mojsije ženu svoju i sinove svoje, i posadi ih na magarca, i pođe natrag u zemlju misirsku. I uze Mojsije štap Božji u ruku svoju.

21 I reče Gospod Mojsiju: Kad otideš i vratiš se u Misir, gledaj da učiniš pred Faraonom sva čudesa koja ti metnuh u ruku: a ja ću učiniti da mu otvrdne srce i ne pusti narod.

22 A ti ćeš reći Faraonu: Ovako kaže Gospod: Izrailj je sin moj, prvenac moj.

23 I kazah ti: Pusti sina mog da mi posluži. A ti ga ne hte pustiti; evo ja ću ubiti sina tvog, prvenca tvog.

24 I kad beše na putu u gostionici, dođe k njemu Gospod i htede da ga ubije.

25 A Sefora uze oštar nož, i obreza sina svog, i okrajak baci k nogama njegovim govoreći: Ti si mi krvav zaručnik.

26 Tada ga ostavi Gospod; a ona radi obrezanja reče: Krvav zaručnik.

27 A Gospod reče Aronu: Iziđi u pustinju na susret Mojsiju. I otide i srete ga na gori Božijoj, i poljubi ga.

28 I Mojsije kaza Aronu sve reči Gospodnje, za koje ga posla, i sve znake koje mu zapovedi.

29 I otidoše Mojsije i Aron, i skupiše sve starešine sinova Izrailjevih.

30 I Aron kaza sve reči, koje beše rekao Gospod Mojsiju, a Mojsije učini znake pred narodom.

31 I narod verova; i razumeše da je Gospod pohodio sinove Izrailjeve i video nevolju njihovu; i savivši se pokloniše se.

7057. And kissed him. That this signifies the affection of conjunction, is evident from the signification of “kissing,” as being conjunction from affection (see n. 3573, 3574, 4353, 5929, 6260).

4353. And kissed him. That this signifies interior conjunction from love, is evident from the signification of “kissing,” as being conjunction from love (see n. 3573, 3574, 4215), here interior conjunction. In this verse the conjunction of the Divine good of the natural which is “Esau,” with the truth there which is “Jacob,” is treated of in general; but in what follows this conjunction is described specifically. As regards the conjunction itself, it is this which effects man’s regeneration; for man is regenerated by the fact that the truths in him are being conjoined with good, that is, that the things which belong to faith are being conjoined with those which belong to charity. The process is fully described in these and the following verses. The Lord is indeed the subject treated of how He made His natural Divine, consequently how He united Divine good to the truth in His natural. But as man’s regeneration is an image of the Lord’s glorification (n. 3138, 3212, 3296, 3490), this regeneration is also treated of at the same time in the internal sense. And as regeneration can fall into man’s idea, but not so fully the Lord’s glorification, the latter may be illustrated by the former.

[2] It is manifest from what has been explained that the conjunction of good with truths (by which regeneration is effected) progresses more and more interiorly; that is, truths are successively conjoined more interiorly with good. For the end of regeneration is that the internal man may be conjoined with the external, thus the spiritual with the natural through the rational. Without the conjunction of both of these there is no regeneration. Nor can this conjunction be effected until good has first been conjoined with truths in the natural; for the natural must be the plane, and the things that are in the natural must correspond. This is the reason why when the natural is being regenerated, the conjunction of good with truths becomes successively more interior. For the spiritual conjoins itself first with the things which are inmost in the natural, and then by means of these with those which are more exterior. Nor can man’s internal conjoin itself with his external, unless the truth in the external becomes the good of truth, that is, truth in will and act (n. 4337); for then for the first time they can be conjoined, inasmuch as the Lord flows in with man through his internal man, and in fact through the good therein. This good can be conjoined with good in the external man, but not good with truth immediately.

[3] From this it may be seen that the truth in man must first become truth in will and act (that is, the good of truth), before the conjunction of the rational with the natural, or the internal man with the external, can take place. But how truth becomes the good of truth, must be evident to everyone who pays attention. All Divine truth regards these two precepts-to love God above all things, and the neighbor as one’s self. It is these precepts from which and for the sake of which truths are, and to which truths tend, more nearly and more remotely. Therefore when truths are put into act, they are instilled successively into their beginning and their end, namely, into charity toward the neighbor, and into love to the Lord; and thereby truth becomes good, which is called the good of truth; and when this takes place, it can then be conjoined with the internal man, which conjunction becomes successively more interior, in proportion as more interior truths are implanted in this good. Act precedes, man’s willing follows; for that which a man does from the understanding, he at last does from the will, and finally puts it on as a habit; and it is then instilled in his rational or internal man. And when it has been instilled in this, the man no longer does good from truth, but from good; for he then begins to perceive therein somewhat of blessedness, and as it were somewhat of heaven. This remains with him after death, and by means of it he is uplifted into heaven by the Lord.
