2 Mose 3

പഠനം

   

1 Mose aber hütete die Schafe Jethros, seines Schwähers, des Priesters in Midian, und trieb die Schafe hinter in die Wüste und kam an den Berg Gottes Horeb.

2 Und der Engel des HERRN erschien ihm in einer feurigen Flamme aus dem Busch. Und er sah, daß der Busch mit Feuer brannte, und ward doch nicht verzehret.

3 Und sprach: Ich will dahin und besehen dies große Gesicht, warum der Busch nicht verbrennet.

4 Da aber der HERR sah, daß er hinging zu sehen, rief ihm Gott aus dem Busch und sprach: Mose, Mose! Er antwortete: Hie bin ich.

5 Er sprach: Tritt nicht herzu! Zeuch deine Schuhe aus von deinen Füßen; denn der Ort, da du auf stehest, ist ein heilig Land.

6 Und sprach weiter: Ich bin der Gott deines Vaters, der Gott Abrahams, der Gott Isaaks und der Gott Jakobs. Und Mose verhüllete sein Angesicht, denn er fürchtete sich, Gott anzuschauen.

7 Und der HERR sprach: Ich habe gesehen das Elend meines Volks in Ägypten und habe ihr Geschrei gehöret über die, so sie treiben; ich habe ihr Leid erkannt.

8 Und bin herniedergefahren, daß ich sie errette von der Ägypter Hand und sie ausführe aus diesem Lande in ein gut und weit Land, in ein Land, darinnen Milch und Honig fleußt, nämlich an den Ort der Kanaaniter, Hethiter, Amoriter, Pheresiter, Heviter und Jebusiter.

9 Weil denn nun das Geschrei der Kinder Israel vor mich kommen ist und habe auch dazu gesehen ihre Angst, wie sie die Ägypter ängsten,

10 so gehe nun hin, ich will dich zu Pharao senden, daß du mein Volk, die Kinder Israel, aus Ägypten führest.

11 Mose sprach zu Gott: Wer bin ich, daß ich zu Pharao gehe und führe die Kinder Israel aus Ägypten?

12 Er sprach: Ich will mit dir sein. Und das soll dir das Zeichen sein, daß ich dich gesandt habe: Wenn du mein Volk aus Ägypten geführet hast, werdet ihr Gott opfern auf diesem Berge.

13 Mose sprach zu Gott: Siehe, wenn ich zu den Kindern Israel komme und spreche zu ihnen: Der Gott eurer Väter hat mich zu euch gesandt, und sie mir sagen werden: Wie heißt sein Name? was soll ich ihnen sagen?

14 Gott sprach zu Mose: Ich werde sein, der ich sein werde. Und sprach: Also sollst du den Kindern Israel sagen: Ich werd's sein, der hat mich zu euch gesandt.

15 Und Gott sprach weiter zu Mose: Also sollst du zu den Kindern Israel sagen: Der HERR, eurer Väter Gott, der Gott Abrahams, der Gott Isaaks, der Gott Jakobs, hat mich zu euch gesandt. Das ist mein Name ewiglich, dabei soll man mein gedenken für und für.

16 Darum so gehe hin und versammle die Ältesten in Israel und sprich zu ihnen: Der HERR, eurer Väter Gott, ist mir er schienen, der Gott Abrahams, der Gott Isaaks, der Gott Jakobs, und hat gesagt: Ich habe euch heimgesucht und gesehen, was euch in Ägypten widerfahren ist.

17 Und habe gesagt: Ich will euch aus dem Elende Ägyptens führen in das Land der Kanaaniter, Hethiter, Amoriter, Pheresiter, Heviter und Jebusiter, in das Land, darinnen Milch und Honig fleußt.

18 Und wenn sie deine Stimme hören, so sollst du und die Ältesten in Israel hineingehen zum Könige in Ägypten und zu ihm sagen: Der HERR, der Ebräer Gott, hat uns gerufen. So laß uns nun gehen drei Tagesreisen in die Wüste, daß wir opfern dem HERRN, unserm Gott.

19 Aber ich weiß, daß euch der König in Ägypten nicht wird ziehen lassen ohne durch eine starke Hand.

20 Denn ich werde meine Hand aus strecken und Ägypten schlagen mit allerlei Wundern, die ich drinnen tun werde. Danach wird er euch ziehen lassen.

21 Und ich will diesem Volk Gnade geben vor den Ägyptern, daß, wenn ihr ausziehet, nicht leer ausziehet;

22 sondern ein jeglich Weib soll von ihrer Nachbarin und Hausgenossin fordern silberne und güldene Gefäße und Kleider; die sollt ihr auf eure Söhne und Töchter legen und den Ägyptern entwenden.

Wells

  

''To stop up wells,' as inGenesis 26:15, denotes to be unwilling to know truths, and to deny them, and so to obliterate them. In Genesis 21, 'wells' signify doctrines, both those disputed and not disputed. Without this significance digging wells and disputing about them would have been too trivial to be mentioned in the divine Word.

3387. 'For he was afraid to say, My wife, [thinking,] The men of the place may perhaps kill me on account of Rebekah' means that it was impossible for Divine Truths themselves to be disclosed, and so for Divine Good to be received. This is clear from the meaning of 'being afraid to say' as an inability to disclose; from the meaning of 'wife', who is Rebekah here, as the Lord's Divine Rational in respect to Divine Truth, dealt with in 3012, 3013, 3077; from the meaning of 'killing me' as good not being received, for 'Isaac', to whom 'me' refers here, represents the Divine Good of the Lord's Rational, 3012, 3194, 3210 - good being said 'to be killed' or to perish when it is not received, for it ceases to exist with that person; and from the meaning of 'the men of the place' as people who possess matters of doctrine concerning faith, dealt with just above in 3385. From these meanings it is now evident what the internal sense of these words is, namely: If Divine truths themselves were disclosed they would not be received by those who possess matters of doctrine concerning faith because those truths go beyond the whole range of their rational grasp of things, and so go beyond the whole of their faith, and as a consequence of this no good at all could flow in from the Lord. For good from the Lord, or Divine good, cannot flow in except into truths, for truths are the vessels for good, as shown many times.

[2] Truths or appearances of truth are given to a person to enable Divine Good to develop the understanding part of his mind, and so the person himself, for truths exist to the end that good may flow in. Indeed without vessels or receptacles good has nowhere to go, for it can find no condition answering to itself. Where no truths exist therefore, that is, where they have not been received, neither does any rational or human good exist; and as a consequence the person does not possess any spiritual life. Therefore, so that a person may nevertheless possess truths, and from these receive spiritual life, appearances of truth are given, to everyone according to his ability to grasp them; and these appearances are acknowledged as truths because they have the capacity to hold Divine things within them.

[3] So that it may be known what appearances are and that they are what serve a person as Divine truths, let the following be used by way of illustration: If man were told that in heaven angels have no concept of place, and so no concept of distance, but that instead they have concepts of state, he could not possibly grasp it, for he would suppose from this that nothing distinct and separate existed but that everything was fused together, that is to say, all the angels were together in a single place. Yet everything there is so distinct and separate that nothing could ever be more so. Places, distances, and intervals of space which exist in the natural order exist in heaven as states, see 3356. From this it is evident that all the things that are stated in the Word about places and intervals of space between objects, also ideas that are formed from these and expressed through them, are appearances of truth; and unless everything were stated by means of those appearances it would in no way be received and would as a consequence be scarcely anything; for the concept of space and time is present in almost every single detail of a person's thought as long as he is in the world, that is, living within space and time.

[4] The fact that the Word speaks according to appearances involving space is clear from almost every single part of it, as in Matthew,

Jesus said, How is it that David says, The Lord [said] to my Lord, Sit at My right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool? Matthew 22:43-44.

Here the expression 'sitting at the right hand' is derived from the concept of place and so according to the appearance - when in fact it is a state of the Lord's Divine power which is described by that expression. In the same gospel,

Jesus said, Hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of power and coming on the clouds of heaven. Matthew 26:64.

Here similarly 'sitting at the right hand' and also 'coming on clouds' are expressions derived from men's concept of place, whereas the concept angels have is one of the state of the Lord's power. In Mark,

The sons of Zebedee said to Jesus, Grant us to sit in Your glory, one on Your right hand and the other on Your left. Jesus replied, To sit at My right hand and at My left is not Mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared. Mark 10:37, 40.

From this it is evident what kind of concept the disciples had of the Lord's kingdom, that is to say, one that involved sitting on the right hand and on the left. Such being the concept they had of it the Lord also replied to them in a way they could understand and so by an appearance that could be seen by them.

[5] In David,

Like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, he rejoices as a mighty man to run the course. From the end of the heavens is His going forth, and His circuit to the ends of them. Psalms 19:5-6.

This refers to the Lord, the state of whose Divine power is described by means of such things as belong to space. In Isaiah,

How you have fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the dawn! You said in your heart, I will go up into the heavens, above the stars of God 1 I will raise my throne. I will go up above the heights of the clouds. Isaiah 14:12-14.

'Falling from heaven', 'going up the heavens', 'raising a throne above the stars of God', 'going up above the heights of the clouds' are all expressions derived from the concept and appearance of space or a place, and are used to describe self-love profaning holy things. Since celestial and spiritual things are presented to man by means of and according to visual objects like these, heaven too is therefore described as being on high when in fact it is not on high but in that which is internal, 450, 1380, 2148.
