2 Mose 6

勉強

   

1 Der HERR sprach zu Mose: Nun sollst du sehen, was ich Pharao tun werde; denn durch eine starke Hand muß er sie lassen ziehen, er muß sie noch durch eine starke Hand aus seinem Lande von sich treiben.

2 Und Gott redete mit Mose und sprach zu ihm: Ich bin der HERR

3 und bin erschienen Abraham, Isaak und Jakob als der allmächtige Gott; aber mein Name HERR ist ihnen nicht offenbart worden.

4 Auch habe ich einen Bund mit ihnen aufgerichtet, daß ich ihnen geben will das Land Kanaan, das Land ihrer Wallfahrt, darin sie Fremdlinge gewesen sind.

5 Auch habe ich gehört die Wehklage der Kinder Israel, welche die Ägypter mit Frönen beschweren, und habe an meinen Bund gedacht.

6 Darum sage den Kindern Israel: Ich bin der HERR und will euch ausführen von euren Lasten in Ägypten und will euch erretten von eurem Frönen und will euch erlösen durch ausgereckten Arm und große Gerichte

7 und will euch annehmen zum Volk und will euer Gott sein, daß ihr's erfahren sollt, daß ich der HERR bin, euer Gott, der euch ausführt von der Last Ägyptens

8 und euch bringt in das Land, darüber ich habe meine Hand gehoben, daß ich's gäbe Abraham, Isaak und Jakob; das will ich euch geben zu eigen, ich, der HERR.

9 Mose sagte solches den Kindern Israel; aber sie hörten ihn nicht vor Seufzen und Angst vor harter Arbeit.

10 Da redete der HERR mit Mose und sprach:

11 Gehe hinein und rede mit Pharao, dem König in Ägypten, daß er die Kinder Israel aus seinem Lande lasse.

12 Mose aber redete vor dem HERRN und sprach: Siehe, die Kinder Israel hören mich nicht; wie sollte mich denn Pharao hören? Dazu bin ich von unbeschnittenen Lippen.

13 Also redete der HERR mit Mose und Aaron und tat ihnen Befehl an die Kinder Israel und an Pharao, den König in Ägypten, daß sie die Kinder Israel aus Ägypten führten.

14 Dies sind die Häupter in ihren Vaterhäusern. Die Kinder Rubens, des ersten Sohnes Israels, sind diese: Henoch, Pallu, Hezron, Charmi. Das sind die Geschlechter von Ruben.

15 Die Kinder Simeons sind diese: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar und Saul, der Sohn des kanaanäischen Weibes. Das sind Simeons Geschlechter.

16 Dies sind die Namen der Kinder Levis nach ihren Geschlechtern: Gerson, Kahath, Merari. Aber Levi ward hundertsiebenunddreißig Jahre alt.

17 Die Kinder Gersons sind diese: Libni und Simei nach ihren Geschlechtern.

18 Die Kinder Kahaths sind diese: Amram, Jizhar, Hebron, Usiel. Kahath aber ward hundertdreiunddreißig Jahre alt.

19 Die Kinder Merari sind diese: Maheli und Musi. Das sind die Geschlechter Levis nach ihrer Abstammung.

20 Und Amram nahm seine Muhme Jochebed zum Weibe; die gebar ihm Aaron und Mose. Aber Amram ward hundertsiebenunddreißig Jahre alt.

21 Die Kinder Jizhars sind diese: Korah, Nepheg, Sichri.

22 Die Kinder Usiels sind diese: Misael, Elzaphan, Sithri.

23 Aaron nahm zum Weibe Eliseba, die Tochter Amminadabs, Nahessons Schwester; die gebar ihm Nadab, Abihu, Eleasar, Ithamar.

24 Die Kinder Korah sind diese: Assir, Elkana, Abiasaph. Das sind die Geschlechter der Korahiter.

25 Eleasar aber, Aarons Sohn, der nahm von den Töchtern Putiels ein Weib; die gebar ihm Pinehas. Das sind die Häupter unter den Vätern der Leviten-Geschlechter.

26 Das ist Aaron und Mose, zu denen der HERR sprach: Führet die Kinder Israel aus Ägyptenland mit ihrem Heer.

27 Sie sind's die mit Pharao, dem König in Ägypten, redeten, daß sie die Kinder Israel aus Ägypten führten, nämlich Mose und Aaron.

28 Und des Tages redete der HERR mit Mose in Ägyptenland

29 und sprach zu Ihm: Ich bin der HERR; rede mit Pharao, dem König in Ägypten, alles, was ich mit dir rede.

30 Und er antwortete vor dem HERRN: Siehe, ich bin von unbeschnittenen Lippen; wie wird mich denn Pharao hören?

7215. 'And Moses spoke in this way to the children of Israel' means an exhortation from the law of God to those who belonged to the Lord's spiritual kingdom. This is clear from the meaning of 'speaking' as an exhortation, for he spoke to them what Jehovah had commanded him; from the representation of 'Moses' as the law of God, dealt with in 6723, 6752; and from the representation of 'the children of Israel' as the Lord's spiritual kingdom, dealt with in 6426, 6637.

Arcana Coelestia#5826

5826. 'You know that my wife bore me two sons' means if spiritual good is what the Church possesses, internal good and truth will exist. This is clear from the representation of Israel, who says these things about himself, as spiritual good from the natural, dealt with immediately above in 5825; from the representation of Rachel, to whom the wife who had borne him two sons refers here, as the affection for interior truth, dealt with in 3758, 3782, 3793, 3819; and from the representation of Joseph and Benjamin,' the two sons she had borne, as internal good and truth, 'Joseph' being internal good and 'Benjamin' internal truth.

[2] What is meant by internal good and truth existing if spiritual good is what the Church possesses is this: Spiritual good, which 'Israel' represents, is the good of truth, that is, truth existing in will and action. This truth or good of truth causes a person to be a Church. When truth has been implanted in his will - something he perceives to have happened from the fact that he feels an affection for truth because his intention is to live according to it - internal good and truth are present in him. When that internal good and truth are present in a person he has the Lord's kingdom within him and he is consequently the Church; and together with those who are very similar to him he constitutes the Church at large. From this it may be recognized that for the Church to be the Church spiritual good, which is the good of truth, must exist and not simply truth by itself. At the present day it is by virtue of truth alone that a Church is called the Church, and it is what marks off one Church from another. Let anyone ask himself whether truth is anything unless it has life in view. What are religious teachings without that end in view? What for example are the Ten Commandments if separated from a life led according to them? For if someone knows them and the full extent of their meaning and yet leads a life contrary to them, what use are they? Surely none at all; indeed do they not serve to condemn some people? The same is so with other religious teachings that are derived from the Word. These too, being spiritual laws, are commandments for leading a Christian life; they likewise have no use at all unless they are made a person's guide to life. Let anyone weigh up what resides with himself and discover whether he has anything there which really is anything other than what enters into the life he leads, or whether life which really is his life resides anywhere else in a person than in his will.

[3] This is the reason why the Lord has declared in the Old Testament and confirmed in the New that all the Law and all the Prophets are founded on love to God and love towards the neighbour, thus on life. They are not founded on faith apart from life, nor thus in any way at all on faith alone, nor consequently on confidence; for without charity towards the neighbour such confidence is impossible. If it seems to exist with the wicked at times when their lives are in danger or death is at hand it is a spurious or false confidence; for among such people in the next life not a trace of this confidence can be seen, however ardently they may have appeared when near to death to profess that they possessed it. But faith, no matter whether you call it confidence or else trust, does nothing for the wicked, as the Lord Himself teaches in John,

As many as received Him, to them He gave power to be sons of God, to those believing in His name, who were born, not of blood, 1 nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:12-13.

[4] Those born of blood' stands for those who do violence to charity, 374, 1005, also those who render truth profane, 4735. 'Those born of the will of the flesh' stands for those governed by evils that spring from self-love and love of the world, 3813. 'Those born of the will of man' stands for those governed by utterly false notions; for 'man' (vir) means truth and in the contrary sense falsity. 'Those born of God' stands for those who have been regenerated by the Lord and are consequently governed by good. The latter are the ones who receive the Lord; they are the ones who believe in His name; and they, not the former, are the ones to whom He gives power to be sons of God. From all this it is quite evident what contribution faith alone makes to salvation.

[5] To take the matter further, if a person is to undergo regeneration and become a Church he must be led by means of truth into good, which happens when truth becomes truth existing in will and action. This truth is good and is called the good of truth. It constantly brings forth new truths, since then for the first time it is fruitful. The truth that is brought forth or made fruitful from it is what is called internal truth; and the good from which it springs is called internal good. For nothing becomes internal until it has been implanted in the will, the will being the inmost part of a person. As long as good and truth remain outside the will and solely in the understanding they are outside the person; for the understanding is outside, the will inside.
