maastamuutto 4

Studie

   

1 Moses vastasi, ja sanoi: katso, ei he usko minua, eikä ole kuuliaiset minun äänelleni; vaan sanovat: ei ole Herra näkynyt sinulle.

2 Herra sanoi hänelle: mikä se on sinun kädessäs? Hän sanoi: sauva.

3 Ja hän sanoi: heitä se maahan, ja hän heitti sen maahan, ja se muuttui kärmeeksi. Ja Moses pakeni häntä.

4 Mutta Herra sanoi Mosekselle: ojenna kätes, ja rupee hänen pyrstöönsä. Niin hän ojensi kätensä ja rupesi häneen, ja se muuttui sauvaksi hänen kädessänsä.

5 Sentähden pitää heidän uskoman, että Herra on näkynyt sinulle, heidän isäinsä Jumala, Abrahamin Jumala, Isaakin Jumala ja Jakobin Jumala.

6 Ja Herra sanoi vielä hänelle: pistä nyt kätes povees. Ja hän pisti sen poveensa. Ja koska hän veti sen ulos, katso, hänen kätensä oli spitalinen niinkuin lumi.

7 Ja hän sanoi: pistä kätes jällensä povees, ja hän pisti kätensä jälleen poveensa, ja veti jällensä sen ulos povestansa, ja katso, se tuli niinkuin hänen ihonsa.

8 Ja on tapahtuva, jollei he sinua usko, eikä ole kuuliaiset sinun äänelles yhden ihmeen tähden, niin he uskovat sinun äänes toisen ihmeen tähden.

9 Jollei he usko niitä kahta ihmettä, eikä ole kuuliaiset sinun äänelles, niin ota vettä virrasta, ja kaada kuivalle maalle, niin se vesi, jonkas olet ottanut virrasta, tulee vereksi kuivalla maalla.

10 Niin sanoi Moses Herralle: Ah Herra, en ole minä tähän asti puhelias mies ollut, enkä myös sitte kuin sinä palvelias kanssa puhunut olet; sillä minulla on hidas puhe ja kankia kieli.

11 Ja Herra sanoi hänelle: kuka on luonut ihmisen suun? Eli kuka on tehnyt mykän taikka kuuron, eli näkevän taikka sokian? Enkö minä Herra (ole niitä tehnyt)?

12 Mene siis nyt, minä olen sinun suussas, ja opetan sinua, mitä sinun puhuman pitää.

13 Moses sanoi: Ah Herra, lähetä, jonkas tahdot lähettää.

14 Niin Herra vihastui suuresti Moseksen päälle, ja sanoi: enkö minä tunne Aaronia sinun veljeäs, Levin suvusta, että hän on puhelias? Ja katso, hän tulee sinua vastaan, ja koska hän näkee sinun, niin hän iloitsee sydämestänsä.

15 Sinun pitää puhuman hänelle, ja paneman sanat hänen suuhunsa; ja minä olen sinun ja hänen suunsa kanssa, ja opetan teitä, mitä teidän pitää tekemän.

16 Ja hänen pitää puhuman sinun puolestas kansalle. Hänen pitää oleman sinun suunas, ja sinun pitää oleman hänelle Jumalana.

17 Ja ota tämä sauva kätees, jolla sinun pitää tekemän ihmeitä.

18 Niin Moses läksi sieltä, ja tuli jällensä appensa Jetron tykö, ja sanoi hänelle: annas minun mennä, että minä palajaisin veljeini tykö, jotka ovat Egyptissä, ja näkisin heitä, jos he vielä elävät. Ja Jetro sanoi Mosekselle: mene rauhassa.

19 Ja Herra sanoi Mosekselle Midianissa: mene ja palaja Egyptiin; sillä ne kaikki ovat kuolleet, jotka sinun henkes perään seisoivat.

20 Ja Moses otti emäntänsä ja poikansa, ja pani ne aasin päälle, ja palasi Egyptiin; ja otti Jumalan sauvan käteensä.

21 Ja Herra sanoi Mosekselle: katso, koskas tulet Egyptiin jällensä, ettäs teet kaikki ne ihmeet Pharaon edessä, jotka minä olen antanut sinun kätees. Ja minä paadutan hänen sydämensä, ja ei hän päästä kansaa.

22 Ja sinun pitää sanoman Pharaolle: näin sanoo Herra: Israel on minun poikani, minun esikoiseni.

23 Ja minä käsken sinulle: päästä minun poikani palvelemaan minua, ja jos et sinä tahdo häntä päästää, katso, minä tapan sinun poikas, sinun esikoises.

24 Ja koska hän oli tiellä majassa, tuli Herra häntä vastaan, ja tahtoi hänen tappaa.

25 Niin Zippora otti kiven, ja ympärileikkasi poikansa esinahan, ja rupesi hänen jalkoihinsa, ja sanoi: sinä olet minulle veriylkä.

26 Niin hän luopui hänestä. Mutta sanoi: veriylkä ympärileikkauksen tähden.

27 Ja Herra sanoi Aaronille: mene Mosesta vastaan korpeen. Ja hän meni, ja tuli häntä vastaan Jumalan vuorella, ja antoi hänen suuta.

28 Ja Moses ilmoitti Aaronille kaikki Herran sanat, jotka hänen lähetti, ja kaikki ihmeet, jotka hän hänet käskenyt oli.

29 Niin meni Moses ja Aaron, ja kokosivat kaikki Israelin lasten vanhimmat.

30 Ja Aaron puhui kaikki ne sanat, jotka Herra Mosekselle puhunut oli, ja teki ihmeitä kansan edessä.

31 Ja kansa uskoi. Ja kuin he kuulivat, että Herra oli etsinyt Israelin lapsia, nähnyt myös heidän ahdistuksensa, lankesivat he maahan ja rukoilivat.

7058. 'And Moses told Aaron all Jehovah's words' means an influx of truth going forth directly from the Lord's Divine into truth that goes forth in an indirect way, and instruction in specific doctrinal teachings. This is clear from the meaning of 'telling' as influx, dealt with in 5966; from the representation of 'Moses' as truth going forth directly from the Lord's Divine, dealt with in 7010, 7054; from the representation of 'Aaron' as truth that goes forth in an indirect way from the Lord's Divine, dealt with in 7009; and from the meaning of 'all Jehovah's words' as specific doctrinal teachings. Instruction is meant by 'Moses told Aaron' those things, because instruction from the Divine is effected by means of influx, meant by 'telling'. From all this it is evident that 'Moses told all Jehovah's words' means an influx of truth going forth directly from the Lord's Divine into truth that goes forth in an indirect way, and instruction in specific doctrinal teachings.

[2] As regards instruction in specific doctrinal teachings, it is imparted when truth going forth directly from the Lord's Divine is joined to truth that goes forth in an indirect way; for then perception is imparted, see above in 7055. The two kinds of truth are joined together especially among the angels who are in the third or inmost heaven, those who are called celestial. They have a keen perception of both, and from that a clear feeling of the Lord's presence. The reason for this is that they more than others are governed by good, for in them the good of innocence is present. As a consequence they are nearest the Lord, surrounded by flashing and so to speak burning light, for they see the Lord as the Sun, whose radiating light has that appearance because they are so near Him.

[3] The expression 'truth going forth directly from the Lord's Divine' is used even though the subject here in the internal sense is the Lord when He was in the world and called upon His Father as if He were separate from Himself. But the situation then, as stated a number of times already, was that the Divine itself or Jehovah was within Him; for He had been conceived from Jehovah, whom for that reason He also called His Father, while calling Himself His Son. But at that time the weak Human inherited from His mother had come to the forefront in the Lord; and to the extent that it did so, Jehovah or the Divine itself which was within Him seemed to be absent, whereas to the extent that the Human that had been glorified or made Divine had come to the forefront in the Lord, Jehovah or the Divine itself was present, there in the Human itself. From this one may now know how to understand the idea that truth which had gone forth directly from the Divine came from the Lord's Divine.

Exodus 4

Studie

   

1 Moses answered, "But, behold, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice; for they will say, 'Yahweh has not appeared to you.'"

2 Yahweh said to him, "What is that in your hand?" He said, "A rod."

3 He said, "Throw it on the ground." He threw it on the ground, and it became a snake; and Moses ran away from it.

4 Yahweh said to Moses, "Put forth your hand, and take it by the tail." He Put forth his hand, and laid hold of it, and it became a rod in his hand.

5 "That they may believe that Yahweh, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you."

6 Yahweh said furthermore to him, "Now put your hand inside your cloak." He put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, as white as snow.

7 He said, "Put your hand inside your cloak again." He Put his hand inside his cloak again, and when he took it out of his cloak, behold, it had turned again as his other flesh.

8 "It will happen, if they will neither believe you nor listen to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.

9 It will happen, if they will not believe even these two signs, neither listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it on the dry land. The water which you take out of the river will become blood on the dry land."

10 Moses said to Yahweh, "O Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before now, nor since you have spoken to your servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue."

11 Yahweh said to him, "Who made man's mouth? Or who makes one mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Isn't it I, Yahweh?

12 Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall speak."

13 He said, "Oh, Lord, please send someone else."

14 The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Moses, and he said, "What about Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Also, behold, he comes forth to meet you. When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.

15 You shall speak to him, and put the words in his mouth. I will be with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what you shall do.

16 He will be your spokesman to the people; and it will happen, that he will be to you a mouth, and you will be to him as God.

17 You shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do the signs."

18 Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, "Please let me go and return to my brothers who are in Egypt, and see whether they are still alive." Jethro said to Moses, "go in peace."

19 Yahweh said to Moses in Midian, "Go, return into Egypt; for all the men who sought your life are dead."

20 Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them on a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt. Moses took God's rod in his hand.

21 Yahweh said to Moses, "When you go back into Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in your hand, but I will harden his heart and he will not let the people go.

22 You shall tell Pharaoh, 'Thus says Yahweh, Israel is my son, my firstborn,

23 and I have said to you, "Let my son go, that he may serve me;" and you have refused to let him go. Behold, I will kill your son, your firstborn.'"

24 It happened on the way at a lodging place, that Yahweh met Moses and wanted to kill him.

25 Then Zipporah took a flint, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet; and she said, "Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me."

26 So he let him alone. Then she said, "You are a bridegroom of blood," because of the circumcision.

27 Yahweh said to Aaron, "Go into the wilderness to meet Moses." He went, and met him on God's mountain, and kissed him.

28 Moses told Aaron all the words of Yahweh with which he had sent him, and all the signs with which he had instructed him.

29 Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel.

30 Aaron spoke all the words which Yahweh had spoken to Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.

31 The people believed, and when they heard that Yahweh had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped.
