1 И сказал Господь Моисею: еще одну казнь Я наведу на фараона и на Египтян; после того он отпустит вас отсюда; когда же он будет отпускать, с поспешностью будет гнать вас отсюда;

2 внуши народу, чтобы каждый у ближнего своего и каждая женщина у ближней своей выпросили вещей серебряных и вещей золотых.

3 И дал Господь милость народу Своему в глазах Египтян, да и Моисей был весьма велик в земле Египетской, в глазах рабов фараоновых и в глазахнарода.

4 И сказал Моисей: так говорит Господь: в полночь Я пройду посреди Египта,

5 и умрет всякий первенец в земле Египетской от первенца фараона, который сидит на престоле своем, до первенца рабыни, которая при жерновах, и все первородное из скота;

6 и будет вопль великий по всей земле Египетской, какого не бывало и какого не будет более;

7 у всех же сынов Израилевых ни на человека, ни на скот не пошевелит пес языком своим, дабы вы знали, какое различие делает Господь междуЕгиптянами и между Израильтянами.

8 И придут все рабы твои сии ко мне и поклонятся мне, говоря: выйди ты и весь народ, которым ты предводительствуешь. После сего я и выйду. И вышел Моисей от фараона с гневом.

9 И сказал Господь Моисею: не послушал вас фараон, чтобы умножились чудеса Мои в земле Египетской.

10 Моисей и Аарон сделали все сии чудеса пред фараоном; но Господьожесточил сердце фараона, и он не отпустил сынов Израилевых из землисвоей.

7831. 'On the tenth of this month' means the state of the initiation of the interiors. This is clear from the meaning of 'the tenth' - day, that is to say - as the state of the interiors. For 'day' means state, 23, 487, 488, 493, 576, 893, 1738, 2788, 3462, 3785, 4850, 5672, and 'ten' means remnants, 576, 1906, 2284, that is, the truths and forms of good stored away by the Lord in a person's interiors, 1050, 1906, 2284, 5135, 5897, 7560, 7564. And since the remnants reside in his interiors, and they are used to prepare the person for and initiate him into receiving goodness and truth from the Lord, 'the tenth day' here means the state of the initiation of the interiors. With regard to a person's being regenerated by means of remnants, and so to his being initiated by means of them into receiving the inflow of goodness and truth from the Lord, see 5342, 5898, 6156, and with regard to his contact with heaven through them, 7560, for those forms of good and truths originate in the Lord, not in man, 7564. 'Month' is used to mean a whole state from start to finish, 7814, thus the complete state of deliverance, which the Passover in its entirety means. From all this it is evident that 'on the tenth of this month' means the state of the initiation of the interiors. This state - of the initiation of the interiors - lasted from the tenth day of that month through to the fourteenth day of it, between which days the Passover animal was to be held in safe keeping. 'The Passover animal' means the good of innocence, which is inmost; thus this good which is inmost, together with the interiors in which it resides, was in the meantime to be isolated and kept away from such things as defile it. This state is the state of the initiation of the interiors, that is, of being made ready to receive the inflow of goodness and truth from the Lord. This is the holy meaning contained in the words under consideration, for without that holy meaning deeply concealed within them no command would have been given for the Passover animal to be taken on the tenth of the month and held in safe keeping until the fourteenth day, or for it to be slaughtered after that between the evenings, and to be eaten roasted with fire and not boiled in water. Nor would they have been commanded not to leave any of it till morning, to burn with fire what remained, not to break a bone of it, and much else. These regulations, as anyone who ponders on them may recognize, have to do with things of a holy nature which no one is as yet acquainted with; and these holy things are spiritual ones that belong to the Church and heaven, and that are concerned with the Divine from whom every detail of the Word has come down.
