2 Mose 6

പഠനം

   

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, daß ich ihr allmächtiger Gott sein wollte; aber mein Name, HERR, ist ihnen nicht offenbaret worden.

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

5 Auch habe ich gehöret 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 Fronen und will euch erlösen durch einen 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 ausgeführet habe von der Last Ägyptens

8 und euch gebracht 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 höreten ihn nicht vor Seufzen und Angst und harter Arbeit.

10 Da redete der HERR mit Mose und sprach:

11 Gehe hinein und rede mit Pharao, dem Könige 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 Pharao, den König in Ägypten, daß sie die Kinder Israel aus Ägypten führeten.

14 Dies sind die Häupter in jeglichem Geschlecht der Väter. Die Kinder Rubens, des ersten Sohnes Israels, sind diese: Hanoch, 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 in ihren Geschlechtern: Gerson, Kahath, Merari. Aber Levi ward hundertundsiebenunddreißig Jahre alt.

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

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

19 Die Kinder Meraris sind diese: Maheli und Musi. Das sind die Geschlechter Levis in ihren Stämmen.

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

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

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

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

24 Die Kinder Korahs 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 den Pinehas. Das sind die Häupter unter den Vätern der Levitengeschlechter.

26 Das ist der 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 Könige in Ägypten, redeten, daß sie die Kinder Israel aus Ägypten führeten, 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 Könige 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?

Jacob or Israel (the man)

  

Jacob is told twice that his name will now be Israel. The first time is when he wrestles with an angel on his journey to meet Esau, and the angel tells him that his name will be changed. After he is reconciled with Esau, they go their separate ways. Jacob moves to Shechem and then on to Bethel, where he builds an altar to the Lord. The Lord appears to him there, renews the covenant He first made with Abraham and again tells him that his name will be Israel (Genesis 35). The story goes on to tell of Benjamin's birth and Rachel's death in bearing him, and then of Jacob's return to Isaac and Isaac's death and burial. But at that point the main thread of the story leaves Israel and turns to Joseph, and Israel is hardly mentioned until after Joseph has risen to power in Egypt, has revealed himself to his brothers and tells them to bring all of their father's household down to Egypt. There, before Israel dies, he blesses Joseph's sons, plus all his own sons. After his death he is returned to the land of Canaan for burial in Abraham's tomb. In the story of Jacob and Esau, Jacob represents truth, and Esau good. Jacob's stay in Padan-Aram, and the wealth he acquired there, represent learning the truths of scripture, just as we learn when we read the Ten Commandments or the Sermon on the Mount. The change of name from Jacob to Israel represents the realization that what we learn should not simply be knowledge, but should be the rules of our life, to be followed by action. This action is the good that Esau has represented in the story up to that time, but after the reconciliation between Jacob and Esau, Jacob as Israel now represents the truth and the good, together. It is interesting that even after his name change Jacob is rarely called Israel. Sometimes he is called one and sometimes the other, and sometimes he is called both Jacob and Israel in the same verse (Genesis 46:2, 5, & 8 also Psalm 14:7). This is because Jacob represents the external person and Israel the internal person, and even after the internal person comes into being, we spend much of our lives living on the external level.

Genesis 46

പഠനം

   

1 Israel traveled with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac.

2 God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, "Jacob, Jacob!" He said, "Here I am."

3 He said, "I am God, the God of your father. Don't be afraid to go down into Egypt, for there I will make of you a great nation.

4 I will go down with you into Egypt. I will also surely bring you up again. Joseph will close your eyes."

5 Jacob rose up from Beersheba, and the sons of Israel carried Jacob, their father, their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.

6 They took their livestock, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt--Jacob, and all his seed with him,

7 his sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and he brought all his seed with him into Egypt.

8 These are the names of the children of Israel, who came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.

9 The sons of Reuben: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

10 The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman.

11 The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

13 The sons of Issachar: Tola, Puvah, Iob, and Shimron.

14 The sons of Zebulun: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel.

15 These are the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Paddan Aram, with his daughter Dinah. All the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty-three.

16 The sons of Gad: Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli.

17 The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, and Serah their sister. The sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel.

18 These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah, his daughter, and these she bore to Jacob, even sixteen souls.

19 The sons of Rachel, Jacob's wife: Joseph and Benjamin.

20 To Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, bore to him.

21 The sons of Benjamin: Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard.

25 These are the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to Rachel, his daughter, and these she bore to Jacob: all the souls were seven.

26 All the souls who came with Jacob into Egypt, who were his direct descendants, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were sixty-six.

27 The sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two souls. All the souls of the house of Jacob, who came into Egypt, were seventy.

28 He sent Judah before him to Joseph, to show the way before him to Goshen, and they came into the land of Goshen.

29 Joseph prepared his chariot, and went up to meet Israel, his father, in Goshen. He presented himself to him, and fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.

30 Israel said to Joseph, "Now let me die, since I have seen your face, that you are still alive."

31 Joseph said to his brothers, and to his father's house, "I will go up, and speak with Pharaoh, and will tell him, 'My brothers, and my father's house, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me.

32 These men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of livestock, and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.'

33 It will happen, when Pharaoh summons you, and will say, 'What is your occupation?'

34 that you shall say, 'Your servants have been keepers of livestock from our youth even until now, both we, and our fathers:' that you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians."
