2 Mose 3

1 Mose aber hütete die Schafe Jethros, seines Schwiegervaters, des Priesters in Midian, und trieb die Schafe hinter 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 verzehrt;

3 und sprach: ich will dahin und beschauen dies große Gesicht, warum der Busch nicht verbrennt.

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

5 Er sprach: Tritt nicht herzu, zieh deine Schuhe aus von deinen Füßen; denn der Ort, darauf du stehst, 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 verhüllte sein Angesicht; denn er fürchtete sich Gott anzuschauen.

7 Und der HERR sprach: Ich habe gesehen das Elend meines Volkes in Ägypten und habe ihr Geschrei gehört über die, so sie drängen; 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 gutes und weites Land, in ein Land, darin Milch und Honig fließt, an den Ort der Kanaaniter, Hethiter, Amoriter, Pheresiter, Heviter und Jebusiter.

9 Weil nun das Geschrei der Kinder Israel vor mich gekommen ist, und ich auch dazu ihre Angst gesehen habe, wie die Ägypter sie 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 ein Zeichen sein, daß ich dich gesandt habe: Wenn du mein Volk aus Ägypten geführt 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 WERDE SEIN hat mich zu euch gesandt.

15 Und Gott sprach weiter zu Mose: Also sollst du 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, euer Väter Gott, ist mir erschienen, 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 Elend Ägyptens führen in das Land der Kanaaniter, Hethiter, Amoriter, Pheresiter, Heviter und Jebusiter, in das Land, darin Milch und Honig fließt.

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

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

20 Denn ich werde meine Hand ausstrecken und Ägypten schlagen mit allerlei Wundern, die ich darin tun werde. Darnach wird er euch ziehen lassen.

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

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

2913. 'And spoke to the sons of Heth, saying' means those with whom a new spiritual Church was to exist. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'Heth' and of Hittite. Many were the nations inhabiting the land of Canaan who are mentioned one by one in various places in the Word, among them the Hittites, see Genesis 15:20; Exodus 3:8, 17; 13:5; 23:23; Deuteronomy 7:1; 20:17; Joshua 3:10; 11:1, 3; 12:8; 24:11; 1 Kings 9:20; and elsewhere. Most of them belonged to the Ancient Church which was spread through many lands, including the land of Canaan, see 1238, 2385. All who belonged to that Church acknowledged charity as the chief thing, and everything they taught was about charity or life. People who cultivated teachings about faith were called Canaanites and were separate from the rest of the inhabitants in the land of Canaan, Numbers 13:29 - see 1062, 1063, 1076.

[2] The Hittites belonged among those in the land of Canaan who were more acceptable. This is also made clear by the fact that Abraham, and subsequently Isaac and Jacob, dwelt among them and had a burial-place there, and also by the fact that they treated Abraham with greatest respect, as is quite clear from what is recorded about them in this chapter, especially verses 5-6, 10-11, 14-15. Since they were an upright nation they therefore represent and mean the spiritual Church, or the truth of the Church. But it happened that like all the others who belonged to the Ancient Church the Hittites fell away in the course of time from charity or good that goes with faith; and this explains why later on they mean the falsity of the Church, as in Ezekiel 16:3, 45, and elsewhere. Yet the Hittites did belong among those who were more honourable, as may be seen from the fact that David had Hittites with him, such as Ahimelech, 1 Samuel 26:6, and Uriah, who was a Hittite, 2 Samuel 11:3, 6, 17, 21 - by whose wife Bathsheba David begot Solomon, 2 Samuel 12:24. 'Heth' means exterior cognitions that have regard to life and which constitute the external truths of the spiritual Church, 1 see 1203.

[3] The subject in the present verse is a new Church which the Lord establishes when the previous one breathes its last, and in the verses which follow the subject is the reception of faith among those people. The subject is not some particular Church among the sons of Heth but in general the re-establishment by the Lord of a spiritual Church after its predecessor fades away and approaches its end. The sons of Heth are simply those who represent and carry a spiritual meaning. Please see what has been stated already about Churches in the following places:

In course of time a Church goes into decline and decay, 494, 501, 1327, 2422.

It departs from charity, and brings forth evils and falsities, 1834, 1835.

At that point the Church is said to be vastated and made desolate, 407-411, 2243.

The Church is established among gentiles; the reason why, 1366.

Within a Church undergoing vastation something of the Church is always preserved as a nucleus, 468, 637, 931, 2422.

If the Church did not exist in the world the human race would perish, ibid.

The Church is like the heart and lungs in that vast body, of which every member of the human race is a part, 637, 931, 2054, 2853.

The nature of the spiritual Church, 765, 2669.

Charity constitutes the Church, not faith separated from charity, 809, 916.

If all possessed charity the Church would be one even though they differ in matters of doctrine and in forms of worship, 1285, 1316, 1798, 1799, 1834, 1844, 2385.

All people on earth who belong to the Lord's Church, though they are scattered throughout the entire world, still so to speak make a single whole, as is the case in heaven, 2853.

Every Church is internal and external, and both together constitute a single Church, 409, 1083, 1098, 1100, 1242.

The external Church is valueless if there is no internal Church, 1795.

The Church is compared to the rise and the setting of the sun, to the seasons of the year, and also to the periods of the day, 1837.

The Last Judgement is the final period of the Church, 900, 931, 1850, 2117, 2118.

1 Kings 9

1 It happened, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of Yahweh, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do,

2 that Yahweh appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.

3 Yahweh said to him, "I have heard your prayer and your supplication, that you have made before me. I have made this house holy, which you have built, to put my name there forever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.

4 As for you, if you will walk before me, as David your father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances;

5 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, according as I promised to David your father, saying, 'There shall not fail you a man on the throne of Israel.'

6 But if you turn away from following me, you or your children, and not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;

7 then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

8 Though this house is so high, yet shall everyone who passes by it be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, 'Why has Yahweh done thus to this land, and to this house?'

9 and they shall answer, 'Because they forsook Yahweh their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold of other gods, and worshiped them, and served them. Therefore Yahweh has brought all this evil on them.'"

10 It happened at the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the two houses, the house of Yahweh and the king's house

11 (now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire), that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

12 Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they didn't please him.

13 He said, "What cities are these which you have given me, my brother?" He called them the land of Cabul to this day.

14 Hiram sent to the king one hundred twenty talents of gold.

15 This is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised, to build the house of Yahweh, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.

16 Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites who lived in the city, and given it for a portion to his daughter, Solomon's wife.

17 Solomon built Gezer, and Beth Horon the lower,

18 and Baalath, and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land,

19 and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

20 As for all the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel;

21 their children who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel were not able utterly to destroy, of them did Solomon raise a levy of bondservants to this day.

22 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondservants; but they were the men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.

23 These were the chief officers who were over Solomon's work, five hundred fifty, who bore rule over the people who labored in the work.

24 But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David to her house which [Solomon] had built for her: then did he build Millo.

25 Three times a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he built to Yahweh, burning incense therewith, [on the altar] that was before Yahweh. So he finished the house.

26 King Solomon made a navy of ships in Ezion Geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.

27 Hiram sent in the navy his servants, sailors who had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.

28 They came to Ophir, and fetched from there gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
