1 Derpå sagde HE EN til Moses: "Gå til Farao! Thi jeg har forhærdet hans og hans Tjeneres Hjerte, at jeg kan komme til at gøre disse mine Tegn iblandt dem,

2 for at du må kunne fortælle din Søn og din Sønnesøn, hvorledes jeg handlede med Ægypterne, og om de Tegn, jeg gjorde iblandt dem; så skal I kende, at jeg er HE EN."

3 Da gik Moses og Aron til Farao og sagde til ham: "Så siger HE EN, Hebræernes Gud: Hvor længe vil du vægre dig ved at ydmyge dig for mig? Lad mit Folk rejse, at de kan dyrke mig!

4 Men hvis du vægrer dig ved at lade mit Folk rejse, se, da vil jeg i Morgen sende Græshopper over dine Landemærker,

5 og de skal skjule Landets Overflade, så man ikke kan se Jorden, og opæde esten af det, som er blevet tilovers for eder efter Haglen, og opæde alle eders Træer, som gror på Marken;

6 og de skal fylde dine Huse og alle dine Tjeneres og alle Ægypternes Huse således, at hverken dine Fædre eller dine Fædres Fædre nogen Sinde har oplevet Mage dertil, fra den Dag de kom til Verden og indtil denne Dag!" Dermed vendte han sig bort og forlod Farao.

7 Men Faraos Tjenere sagde til ham: "Hvor længe skal denne Mand styrte os i Ulykke? Lad dog disse Mennesker rejse og lad dem dyrke HE EN deres Gud! Har du endnu ikke indset, at Ægypten går til Grunde?"

8 Moses og Aron blev nu hentet tilbage til Farao, og han sagde til dem: "Drag af Sted og dyrk HE EN eders Gud! Men hvem er det nu, der vil af Sted?"

9 Moses svarede: "Med vore Børn og vore gamle vil vi drage af Sted, med vore Sønner og vore Døtre, vort Småkvæg og vort Hornkvæg vil vi drage af Sted, thi vi skal fejre HE ENs Højtid."

10 Da sagde han til dem: "HE EN være med eder, om jeg lader eder rejse sammen med eders Kvinder og Børn! Der ser man, at I har ondt i Sinde!

11 Nej men I Mænd kan drage bort og dyrke HE EN; det var jo det, I ønskede!" Derpå jog man dem bort fra Farao.

12 Da sagde HE EN til Moses: " æk din Hånd ud over Ægypten og få Græshopperne til at komme; de skal komme over Ægypten og opæde alt, hvad der vokser i Landet, alt, hvad Haglen har levnet!"

13 Moses rakte da sin Stav ud over Ægypten, og HE EN lod en Østenstorm blæse over Landet hele den Dag og den påfølgende Nat; og da det blev Morgen, førte Østenstormen Græshopperne med sig.

14 Da kom Græshopperne over hele Ægypten, og de slog sig ned i hele Ægyptens Område i uhyre Mængder; aldrig før havde der været så mange Græshopper, og ingen Sinde mere skal der komme så mange.

15 Og de skjulte hele Jordens Overflade, så Jorden blev sort af dem, og de opåd alt, hvad der voksede i Landet, og alle Træfrugter, alt, hvad Haglen havde levnet, og der blev intet grønt tilbage på Træerne eller på Markens Urter i hele Ægypten.

16 Da lod Farao skyndsomt Moses og Aron kalde til sig og sagde: "Jeg har syndet mod HE EN eders Gud og mod eder!

17 Men tilgiv mig nu min Synd denne ene Gang og gå i Forbøn hos eders Gud, at han dog blot vil tage denne dødbringende Plage fra mig!"

18 Da gik Moses bort fra Farao og bad til HE EN.

19 Og HE EN lod Vinden slå om til EN voldsom Vestenvind, som tog Græshopperne og drev dem ud i det røde Hav, så der ikke blev EN eneste Græshoppe tilbage i hele Ægyptens Område.

20 Men HE EN forhærdede Faraos Hjerte, så han ikke lod Israeliterne rejse.

21 Derpå sagde HE EN til Moses: " æk din Hånd op mod Himmelen, så skal der komme et Mørke over Ægypten, som man kan tage og føle på!"

22 Da rakte Moses sin Hånd op mod Himmelen, og der kom et tykt Mørke i hele Ægypten i tre Dage;

23 den ene kunde ikke se den anden, og ingen flyttede sig af Stedet i tre Dage; men overalt, hvor Israeliterne boede, var det lyst.

24 Da lod Farao Moses kalde og sagde: "Drag hen og dyrk HE EN. Dog skal eders Småkvæg og Hornkvæg blive tilbage, men eders Kvinder og Børn må I tage med."

25 Men Moses sagde: "Du må også overlade os Slagtofre og Brændofre, som vi kan bringe HE EN vor Gud;

26 også vore Hjorde må vi have med, ikke en Klov må blive tilbage, thi dem har vi Brug for, når vi skal dyrke HE EN vor Gud, og vi ved jo ikke,hvor meget vi behøver dertil, før vi kommer til Stedet."

27 Da forhærdede HE EN Faraos Hjerte, så han nægtede at lade dem rejse.

28 Og Farao sagde til ham: "Gå bort fra mig og vogt dig for at komme mig for Øje mere; thi den Dag du kommer mig for Øje, er du dødsens!"

29 Da sagde Moses: "Du har sagt det, jeg skal ikke mere komme dig for Øje!"

7681. 'Morning came' means the state of heaven in rearranged order. This is clear from the meaning of 'morning' as the Lord's kingdom, and in the highest sense as the Lord Himself, dealt with in 22, 2333, 2405, 2540, 2780, and as a state of enlightenment, 3458, 3723, 5740, 5962, though at this point 'morning' means heaven in a state of order. The nature of this may be recognized from what has been stated in 7643. There it is shown that the evil undergo vastation as the Lord rearranges heaven; for the inflow of goodness and truth from heaven leads to the vastation which the evil undergo. Therefore when the Lord rearranges the heavens the hells too, which are opposite heaven, are automatically rearranged. They are moved away from heaven, to positions determined by the degrees of their evil, and they are allotted places determined by the variety of their evil. This shows that nothing but good emanates from the Lord, and that evil springs from those who are opposed to good and ultimately cannot bear it. From all this it is evident that 'morning came' here means the state of heaven in rearranged order.

Arcana Coelestia #2405

2405. That 'as dawn ascended' means when the Lord's kingdom draws near is clear from the meaning of 'the dawn' or morning in the Word. Since the subject in this chapter is the successive states of a Church, what happened in the evening, then what happened during the night have been referred to first. What took place when it was twilight comes now, and further on what took place after sunrise. Twilight is expressed here by 'as dawn ascended', which means the time when the upright are separated from the evil. This separation is described in the present verse to verse 22 as Lot being brought out together with his wife and daughters and being saved. The fact that separation takes place prior to judgement is clear from the Lord's words in Matthew,

Before Him will be gathered all the nations, and He will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. Matthew 25:32.

[2] In the Word that period of time or state is called 'the dawn' because that is when the Lord comes, or what amounts to the same, when His kingdom draws near. It is similar with the good, for at that time something akin to early morning twilight or the dawn shines with them. This explains why in the Word the Lord's coming is compared to and also called 'the morning'. Its comparison to the morning is seen in Hosea,

Jehovah will revive us after two days, on the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live before Him. And we shall know, and we shall press on to know Jehovah. As the dawn is His going forth. Hosea 6:2-3.

'Two days' stands for the period of time and the state which precedes. 'Third day' stands for judgement or the Lord's coming, and so for the approach of His kingdom, 720, 901 - a coming or approach which is compared to 'the dawn'.

[3] In Samuel,

The God of Israel is like morning light, [when] the sun rises on a cloudless morning; from brightness, from rain, grass comes out of the earth. 2 Samuel 23:4.

'The God of Israel' stands for the Lord, for no other God of Israel was meant in that Church, where every single feature of that Church was representative of Him. In Joel,

The day of Jehovah is coming, for it is near, a day of darkness and thick darkness, a day of cloud and gloom, like the dawn spread over the mountains. Joel 2:1-2.

This too refers to the Lord's coming and His kingdom. The words 'a day of darkness and thick darkness' are used because at that time the good are separated from the evil, as Lot was here from the men of Sodom; and after the good have been separated the evil perish.

[4] The Lord's coming or the approach of His kingdom is not compared to the morning but actually called such, as in Daniel,

The Holy One said, For how long is the vision, the continual [burnt offering], and the desolating transgression? He said to me, Up to the evening [when it is becoming] morning two thousand three hundred times, and the Holy One will be justified. The vision of the evening and the morning which has been told is the truth. Daniel 8:13-14, 26.

'The morning' here clearly stands for the Lord's coming. In David,

Your people are free-will offerings, in the day of Your power, in the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the dawn You have the dew of Your nativity. Psalms 110:3.

The whole of this psalm refers to the Lord and His victories in temptations, which are meant by 'the day of power and the beauties of His holiness'. 'From the womb of the dawn' means Himself, thus the Divine Love from which He fought.

[5] In Zephaniah,

Jehovah is righteous in the midst of her. He will do no wrong. In the morning, in the morning He will bring His judgement to light. Zephaniah 3:5.

'morning' stands for the time and the state when judgement takes place, which is the same as the Lord's coming, and this in turn is the same as the approach of His kingdom.

[6] Since 'the morning' meant these things, Aaron and his sons, to provide the same representation, were commanded to set up a lamp and tend it from evening till morning before Jehovah, Exodus 27:21. The 'evening' referred to here is the twilight prior to morning, 2323. For a similar reason it was commanded that the fire on the altar was to be rekindled every dawn, Leviticus 6:12; also that none of the paschal lamb and the consecrated elements of sacrifices were to remain until the morning, Exodus 12:10; 23:18; 34:25; Leviticus 22:29-30; Numbers 9:12 - by which was meant that when the Lord came sacrifices would come to an end.

[7] In a general sense 'morning' is used to describe both the time when dawn breaks and the time when the sun rises. 'morning' in this case stands for judgement in regard to the good as well as on the evil, as in the present chapter - 'The sun had gone forth over the earth and Lot came to Zoar; and Jehovah rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire', verses 23-24. It in like manner stands for judgement on the evil, in David,

In the mornings I will destroy all the wicked of the land, to cut off from the city of Jehovah all workers of iniquity. Psalms 101:8.

And in Jeremiah,

Let that man be like the cities which Jehovah overthrew, and He does not repent; and let him hear a cry in the morning. Jeremiah 20:16.

[8] Seeing that 'the morning' in the proper sense means the Lord, His coming, and so the approach of His kingdom, what else is meant by 'the morning' becomes clear, namely the rise of a new Church, for that Church is the Lord's kingdom on earth. That kingdom is meant both in a general and in a particular sense, and indeed in a specific sense, the general being when any Church on earth is established anew; the particular, when a person is being regenerated and becoming a new man, for the Lord's kingdom is in that case being established in him and he is becoming the Church; and the specific, as often as good flowing from love and faith is at work with him, for this is what constitutes the Lord's coming. Consequently the Lord's resurrection on the third morning, Mark 16:2, 9; Luke 24:1; John 20:1, embodies in the particular and the specific senses the truth that He rises daily, indeed every single moment, in the minds of regenerate persons.
