Exodus 1

പഠനം

1 Dette er Navnene på Israels Sønner, der sammen med Jakob kom til Ægypten med deres Familier:

2 uben, Simeon, Levi og Juda,

3 Issakar, Zebulon og Benjamin,

4 Dan og Naftali, Gad og Aser.

5 Jakobs Efterkommere udgjorde i alt halvfjerdsindstyve, men Josef var i Ægypten.

6 Imidlertid døde Josef og alle hans Brødre og hele dette Slægtled.

7 Men Israeliterne var frugtbare og formerede sig, og de blev mange og overmåde talrige, så at Landet blev fuldt af dem.

8 Da kom der en ny Konge over Ægypten, som ikke vidste noget om Josef;

9 og han sagde til sit Folk: "Se, Israels Folk bliver talrigere og stærkere end vi.

10 Velan, lad os gå klogt til Værks imod dem, for at de ikke skal blive for mange; ellers kan det hænde, når vi kommer i Krig, at de går over til vore Modstandere og kæmper mod os og til sidst forlader Landet!"

11 Så satte man Fogeder over dem til at plage dem med Trællearbejde, og de måtte bygge Forrådsbyer for Farao: Pitom og a'amses.

12 Men jo mere man plagede dem, des flere blev de, og des mere bredte de sig, så Ægypterne fik ædsel for Israeliterne.

13 Og Ægypterne tvang Israeliterne til Trællearbejde

14 og gjorde dem Livet bittert ved hårdt Arbejde med Ler og Tegl og alle Hånde Markarbejde, ved alt det Arbejde, de tvang dem til at udføre for sig.

15 Ægypterkongen sagde da til Hebræerkvindernes Jordemødre, af hvilke den ene hed Sjifra, den anden Pua:

16 "Når I forløser Hebræerkvinderne, skal I se godt efter ved Fødselen, og er det et Drengebarn, tag så Livet af det, men er det et Pigebarn, lad det så leve!"

17 Men Jordemødrene frygtede Gud og gjorde ikke, som Ægypterkongen havde befalet dem, men lod Drengebørnene leve.

18 Da lod Ægypterkongen Jordemødrene kalde og sagde til dem: "Hvorfor har I båret eder således ad og ladet Drengebørnene leve?"

19 Men Jordemødrene svarede Farao: "Hebræerkvinderne er ikke som de Ægyptiske Kvinder, de har let ved at føde; inden Jordemoderen kommer til dem, har de allerede født!"

20 Og Gud gjorde vel imod Jordemødrene, og Folket blev stort og såre talrigt;

21 og Gud gav Jordemødrene Afkom, fordi de frygtede ham.

22 Da udstedte Farao den Befaling til hele sit Folk: "Alle Drengebørn, der fødes, skal I kaste i Nilen, men Pigebørnene skal I lade leve!"

Build

  
Cardinal Cisneros directs the construction of the Hospital of the Charity, by Alejandro Ferrant

There are really two meanings for "build" in the Bible. When something is being built for the first time, or built in the most typical sense, it means collecting relatively external ideas to build up a doctrinal system. In other cases, though, "build" is used in reference to something that has been destroyed. In such cases, "build" refers to removing our desires for evil so we can began a new stage of spiritual growth. In these cases "build" is often used together with "raise up," which means removing false ways of thinking in the same process.

4353. 'And kissed him' means an interior joining together brought about by love. This is clear from the meaning of 'kissing' as a joining together brought about by love, dealt with in 3573, 3574, 4215, in this case an interior joining together. The present verse deals with the joining of Divine Natural Good, meant by 'Esau', to Natural Truth, meant by 'Jacob'. It deals with this in general, whereas the verses which follow deal more specifically with that joining together. As regards the actual joining together, it is that which brings about a person's regeneration, for he is regenerated through the joining of the truths he knows to the good he cherishes, that is, through the joining of matters of faith to the deeds of charity. The process of that joining together is described fully in this verse and in those that follow. The subject, it is true, is the Lord - how He made His Natural Divine and therefore how He united Divine Good to Truth within the Natural; but because the regeneration of man is an image of the glorification of the Lord, 3138, 3212, 3296, 3490, that regeneration too is at the same time the subject in the internal sense. And because man can get an idea of regeneration more easily than he can of the Lord's glorification, let His glorification be illustrated by means of man's regeneration.

[2] It is evident from the explanations which have been given that the joining together of good and truths which leads to regeneration is a process that grows more and more interior; that is, truths are joined step by step more interiorly to good. For the object of regeneration is that the internal man may be joined to the external, and so the spiritual man be joined to the natural through the rational. Unless the two are joined together no regeneration is accomplished. Nor can that joining together be effected until good has first been joined to the truths within the natural; for the natural has to exist as the underlying groundwork, and things within the natural have to exist in correspondence with those above them. This is the reason why, when the natural is being regenerated, the joining together of good and truths becomes step by step more interior; for the spiritual first joins itself to the things that are inmost in the natural, and after that through these to those that are more exterior. Nor can man's internal join itself to his external unless the truth within that external becomes the good of truth, that is, becomes truth in will and action, 4337. Only then can they be joined together, for the Lord flows into a person through his internal man, especially through the good there. The good there is able to be joined to the good in the external man, but not directly to the truth.

[3] From this it becomes clear that the truth residing with man must first of all become truth in will and action, that is, become the good of truth, before the joining together of the rational and the natural, or of the internal man and the external, can come about. But in what way truth becomes the good of truth may be clear to anyone who gives his attention to it. Every Divine truth is related to the following two commandments: Love God above all things, and love your neighbour as yourself. These two commandments are the base from which truths are derived, the reason why truths exist, and the end to which truths lead - immediately or remotely. Therefore when truths are translated into action they are introduced step by step into their beginning and into their end, that is to say, into charity towards the neighbour and love to the Lord, and as a consequence truth becomes the good which is called the good of truth. Once truth becomes such it is able to be joined to the internal man, a conjunction which becomes step by step more interior as truths that are more interior are implanted within that good. Action comes first, then the desire for it in the person's will follows. For when a person is led by his understanding to carry out any action, he is at length led by his will to do it, till at last he has taken it on as an action performed habitually. When this point is reached it is introduced into the rational or internal man; and once it has been introduced, truth is no longer that which motivates him when he does a good action but good. For now he begins to feel within it something of what is blessed and so to speak of heaven. This remains with him after death, and by means of it the Lord raises him up to heaven.
