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.

6426. 'From there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel' means that from this springs all the goodness and truth which the spiritual kingdom possesses. This is clear from the meaning of 'the shepherd' as one who leads to the good of charity by means of the truth of faith, dealt with in 343, 3795, 6044 (here in the highest sense, since it has reference to the Lord, goodness and truth themselves are meant); from the meaning of 'the stone' as truth, dealt with in 1298, 3720, 3769, 3771, 3773, 3789, 3798; and from the representation of 'Israel' as the spiritual Church, dealt with in 3305, 4286, for 'Israel' is spiritual good or the good of truth, 4286, 4598, 5801, 5803, 5806, 5812, 5817, 5819, 5826, 5833. And since the good of truth is the essential element of the spiritual Church, 'Israel' means the spiritual Church, and in the highest sense the Lord's spiritual kingdom. From all this it is evident that 'from there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel' means that from this springs all the goodness and truth which the Lord's spiritual kingdom possesses.

[2] The reason why in the highest sense 'the stone of Israel' means the Lord with respect to the truth that His spiritual kingdom possesses is that in general 'the stone' means the temple, and specifically the foundation on which it stands. 'The temple' in turn means the Lord's Divine Human, as is clear in John 2:19, 21, and so does its 'foundation' in Matthew 21:42, 44, and in Isaiah 28:16. This meaning of 'the stone' in the highest sense - the Lord in respect to Divine Truth which His spiritual kingdom possesses - is evident in David,

The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner. This has been done by Jehovah; it is marvellous in our eyes. Psalms 118:22-23.

'The stone' here is the Lord, as is made clear in Luke,

It is written, The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner. Whoever falls onto that stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder. Luke 20:17-18.

These things are spoken by the Lord regarding Himself. In Isaiah,

He is your fear, and He is your dread; for He will be a sanctuary, though He will be a stone to strike against and a rock to stumble over 1 for both houses of Israel. Many among them will trip, and fall, and be broken to pieces. Isaiah 8:13-15.

Here the Lord is referred to. In the same prophet,

The Lord Jehovih said, Behold I [am He who] will lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, a tested stone, a precious corner-stone, surely founded. He who believes will not be hasty. Isaiah 28:16.

In Zechariah,

Jehovah Zebaoth will visit His flock, the house of Judah, and will place them as His glorious horse 2 in battle. From Him comes the corner-stone, from Him the tent-peg, from Him the battle-bow. Zechariah 10:3-4.

[3] In Daniel,

You were watching, until a stone was cut out, not by means of hands, and it struck the statue on its feet, which were iron and clay, and smashed them to pieces. The stone that struck the statue became a great rock and filled the whole earth. The God of heaven will cause a kingdom to arise that will never be destroyed, and His kingdom will not be left to other people; it will crush and consume all those kingdoms, but will itself stand for ever. Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the rock, not by means of hands, and it smashed the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold . . . Daniel 2:34-35, 44-45.

Here 'the stone' is used in the highest sense to mean the Lord, and in the relative sense to mean His spiritual kingdom. When it says that 'the stone was cut out of the rock' the meaning is that it came out of the truth of faith, for the truth of faith is meant in the Word by 'rock'. And because the truth of faith is meant by 'the stone' and 'the rock', the Lord's spiritual kingdom is also what is meant, since the truth of faith and good ensuing from this truth prevail in that kingdom. Something similar is also meant by 'the stone' on which Jacob slept and which he afterwards set up as a pillar, described as follows,

Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, Surely Jehovah is in this place and I did not know it. And he was afraid and said, How awesome is this place! This is nothing other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven. And in the morning Jacob rose up early, and took the stone which he had placed as his headrest, and placed it as a pillar and poured oil on the top of it. He said, This stone which I have placed as a pillar will be God's house. Genesis 28:16-18, 22.

The fact that by 'the stone' the ancients understood the Lord in the highest sense and His spiritual kingdom in the relative sense is also plain to see in Joshua,

Joshua erected the stone under the oak which was in Jehovah's sanctuary. And Joshua said to all the people, Behold, this stone will be a witness to us, for it has heard all the sayings of Jehovah which He spoke to us. And it shall be a witness against you, lest you deny your God. Joshua 24:26, 17.
