1 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Ngayo'y iyong makikita kung ano ang gagawin ko kay Faraon, sapagka't sa pamamagitan ng isang malakas na kamay ay payayaunin niya sila, at sa pamamagitan ng isang malakas na kamay ay palalayasin niya sila sa kaniyang lupain.

2 At ang Dios ay nagsalita kay Moises, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Ako'y si Jehova.

3 At ako'y napakita kay Abraham, kay Isaac, at kay Jacob na Dios na Makapangyarihan sa lahat; nguni't sa pamamagitan ng aking pangalang Jehova, noon ay hindi ako napakilala sa kanila.

4 At akin ding pinapagtibay ang aking tipan sa kanila na ibibigay ko sa kanila ang lupain ng Canaan, ang lupain ng kanilang pakikipamayan, na kanilang pinakipamayanan.

5 At bukod dito'y aking narinig ang hibik ng mga anak ni Israel na mga binibinbin ng mga Egipcio sa pagkaalipin; at aking naalaala ang aking tipan.

6 Kaya't sabihin mo sa mga anak ni Israel, Ako'y si Jehova at aking ilalabas kayo sa ilalim ng mga atang sa mga Egipcio, at aking hahanguin kayo sa pagkaalipin sa kanila, at aking tutubusin kayo na may unat na kamay at may mga dakilang kahatulan:

7 At kayo'y aking aariin na pinakabayan ko at ako'y magiging sa inyo'y Dios, at inyong makikilala na ako'y si Jehova ninyong Dios, na naglalabas sa inyo sa ilalim ng mga atang sa mga Egipcio.

8 At aking dadalhin kayo sa lupain, na siyang pinagtaasan ko ng aking kamay na aking ibibigay kay Abraham, kay Isaac, at kay Jacob; at aking ibibigay sa inyo na pinakamana: ako'y si Jehova.

9 At sinalitang gayon ni Moises sa mga anak ni Israel; datapuwa't hindi sila nakinig kay Moises, dahil sa yamot, at dahil sa mabagsik na pagkaalipin.

10 At ang Panginoon ay nagsalita kay Moises, na sinasabi,

11 Pumasok ka, salitain mo kay Faraon na hari sa Egipto, na kaniyang pahintulutang umalis sa lupain niya ang mga anak ni Israel.

12 At si Moises ay nagsalita sa harap ng Panginoon, na sinasabi, Narito ang mga anak ni Israel ay hindi nakinig sa akin; paano ngang si Faraon ay makikinig sa akin, na ako'y may mga labing di tuli?

13 At ang Panginoon ay nagsalita kay Moises at kay Aaron, at pinagbilinan sila hinggil sa mga anak ni Israel, at kay Faraon, na hari sa Egipto, upang ilabas ang mga anak ni Israel sa lupain ng Egipto.

14 Ito ang mga pangulo sa mga angkan ng kanilang mga magulang; ang mga anak ni Ruben na panganay ni Israel; si Hanoch, at si Phallu, at si Hezron, at si Carmi: ito ang mga angkan ni Ruben.

15 At ang mga anak ni Simeon; si Jemuel, at si Jamin, at si Ohad, at si Jachin, at si Zoar, at si Saul na anak sa isang babaing taga Canaan: ito ang mga angkan ni Simeon.

16 At ito ang mga pangalan ng mga anak ni Levi ayon sa kanilang lahi; si Gerson, at si Coath, at si Merari; at ang mga naging taon ng buhay ni Levi ay isang daan at tatlong pu't pitong taon.

17 Ang mga anak ni Gerson; si Libni at si Shimi, ayon sa kanikanilang angkan.

18 At ang mga anak ni Coath; si Amram, at si Izhar, at si Hebron, at si Uzziel; at ang mga naging taon ng buhay ni Coath ay isang daan at tatlong pu't tatlong taon.

19 At ang mga anak ni Merari; si Mahali at si Musi. Ito ang mga angkan ng mga Levita ayon sa kanilang lahi.

20 At nagasawa si Amram kay Jochebed na kapatid na babae ng kaniyang ama, at ipinanganak nito sa kaniya si Aaron at si Moises: at ang mga naging taon ng buhay ni Amram ay isang daan at tatlong pu't pitong taon.

21 At ang mga anak ni Izhar; si Cora, at si Nepheg, at si Zithri.

22 At ang mga anak ni Uzziel; si Misael, at si Elzaphan, at si Zithri.

23 At nagasawa si Aaron kay Elisabeth, na anak ni Aminadab, na kapatid ni Naason; at ipinanganak nito sa kaniya si Nadab at si Abiu, si Eleazar at si Ithamar.

24 At ang mga anak ni Cora; si Assir, at si Elcana, at si Abiasaph; ito ang mga angkan ng mga Corita.

25 At si Eleazar na anak ni Aaron, ay nagasawa sa isa sa mga anak ni Phutiel; at ipinanganak niya si Phinees. Ito ang mga pangulo sa mga sangbahayan ng mga magulang ng mga Levita ayon sa kanilang mga angkan.

26 Ito'y yaong si Aaron at si Moises, na siyang pinagsabihan ng Panginoon. Ilabas ninyo ang mga anak ni Israel sa lupaing Egipto ayon sa kanilang mga hukbo.

27 Ito ang mga nagsalita kay Faraon na hari sa Egipto, upang ilabas ang mga anak ni Israel sa Egipto: ang mga ito'y si Moises at si Aaron.

28 At nangyari ng araw na magsalita ang Panginoon kay Moises sa lupain ng Egipto,

29 Na sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, na sinasabi, Ako nga ang Panginoon; salitain mo kay Faraon na hari sa Egipto, ang lahat ng aking sinasalita sa iyo.

30 At sinabi ni Moises sa harap ng Panginoon, Narito ako'y may mga labing di tuli, at paanong si Faraon ay makikinig sa akin?

7196. 'To give them the land of Canaan' means through which joining together they are raised into heaven. This is clear from the meaning of 'the land of Canaan' as the Lord's kingdom in heaven, and as the Church, dealt with in 1607, 3038, 3481, 3705, 4447, 6516. Being raised into heaven is plainly meant by 'giving them the land', for those to whom heaven is given are raised up.

6516. 'In my grave which I dug for myself in the land of Canaan, there you are to bury me' means that it - the Church - was to be restored to life where the previous one had existed. This is clear from the meaning of 'a grave' and 'burying' as restoring to life, dealt with in 5551; and from the meaning of 'the land of Canaan' as the Lord's kingdom and the Church, dealt with in 1413, 1437, 1607, 1866, 3038, 3481, 3705, 4240, 4447. The reason Jacob wished to be buried in the land of Canaan, where Abraham and Isaac had been buried, and not in any other place was that his descendants were going to possess that land, and so he would be lying among his own people. But in the internal sense not this but something else is meant, namely regeneration and resurrection, because these are what the Church resides in. For 'burial' means in the internal sense regeneration and resurrection, 2916, 1917, 4621, 5551. While 'the land of Canaan' means the Church, as is evident from the places referred to above in the present paragraph, and Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob represent the Lord as regards the Divine itself and the Divine Human, and in the relative sense the Lord's kingdom as regards the internal aspect and the external aspect of it, 1965, 1989, 2011, 3245, 3305 (end), 4615, 6098, 6185, 6276. This then is what is meant in the internal sense by the burial of them in that land; and it explains why among Jews who believe in resurrection the conviction continues to exist that even though they have been buried in some other place they will nevertheless rise again in the land of Canaan.

[2] The reason why it is said that the Church was to be restored to life in the place where the previous one had existed is that the Lord's Church had existed in that land since most ancient times, see 3686, 4447, 4454, 4516, 4517, 5136. It also explains why Abraham was told to go there and why the descendants of Jacob were led into it. And the reason for all this was not that the land was holier than all others but that since most ancient times all the locations there, both provinces and cities as well as mountains and rivers, had been representative of such things as belonged to the Lord's kingdom; and the actual names conferred on those locations implied such things. For every particular name supplied from heaven to a place or person implies some celestial or spiritual reality; and when the name has been supplied from heaven, that reality is perceived by them there. The Most Ancient Church too, which was celestial and was in contact with heaven, was one that used to confer names. The reason therefore why the Church was to exist again in that land was that a Word was going to be given in which every detail would be representative of and would mean some spiritual or celestial reality, and that Word would accordingly be understood in heaven no less than on earth. But this could not possibly have been accomplished unless also the names of places and persons had had spiritual meanings. This is the reason why the descendants of Jacob were led into that land, why prophets were raised up there through whom the Word was written, and therefore why a representative of the Church was established among Jacob's descendants. From all this one may see the reason for the statement that the Church was to be restored to life where the previous one had existed.

[3] The fact that names in the Word mean spiritual things may be seen in 1224, 1264, 1876, 1888, 4442, 5225, as well as in the multitude of places where explanations are given of what their meanings are. But the fact that in heaven they perceive what the meanings are of names used in the Word, and that they do this without prior instruction, is an arcanum unknown as yet to anyone and must therefore be described. When the Word is read the Lord comes in and teaches; also - and this is one of the marvels in the spiritual world - writings exist, which I have frequently seen and been able to read yet not understand. But good spirits and angels understand them perfectly well because those writings accord with the universal language they speak. I have been led to know that individual words used there, even individual letters, hold within themselves the kinds of things that belong to that world, thus spiritual things, and that these are perceived there from the breath that is used, and from the affection resulting from the uttering of those words, thus from the varying smooth or rough delivery of them. But it is probable that hardly anyone will believe this. This arcanum has been disclosed so that people may know that those in heaven perceive instantly what the meanings are of names used in the Word, because those names are registered in heaven.
