1 A Gospod reče Mojsiju: Idi k Faraonu, jer sam ja učinio da otvrdne srce njegovo i srce sluga njegovih, da učinim ove znake svoje među njima,

2 I da pripovedaš sinovima svojim i unucima svojim šta učinih u Misiru i kakve znake svoje pokazah na njima, da biste znali da sam ja Gospod.

3 I otide Mojsije i Aron k Faraonu, i rekoše mu: Ovako veli Gospod Bog jevrejski: Dokle ćeš se protiviti da se ne poniziš preda mnom? Pusti narod moj da mi posluži.

4 Jer ako nećeš pustiti narod moj, evo sutra ću naneti skakavce na zemlju tvoju;

5 I pokriće svu zemlju da se neće videti zemlja, i poješće ostatak što se sačuvao, koji vam je ostao iza grada, i poješće sva drveta što vam rastu u polju.

6 I napuniće ih se kuće tvoje i kuće svih sluga tvojih i kuće svih Misiraca, šta nisu videli oci tvoji ni oci otaca tvojih, otkako su postali na zemlji do danas. I okrenuvši se otide od Faraona.

7 A sluge rekoše Faraonu: Dokle će nas taj mučiti? Pusti ih neka posluže Gospodu Bogu svom. Zar još ne vidiš gde propade Misir?

8 I dozvaše opet Mojsija i Arona pred Faraona, i reče im: Idite, poslužite Gospodu Bogu svom. A koji su što će ići?

9 A Mojsije reče: S decom svojom i sa starcima svojim ići ćemo, sa sinovima svojim i sa kćerima svojim, sa stokom svojom sitnom i krupnom ići ćemo, jer imamo praznik Gospodnji.

10 A on im reče: Tako bio Gospod s vama, kako ću vas ja pustiti s decom vašom! Vidite da zlo mislite.

11 Neće biti tako; nego vi ljudi idite i poslužite Gospodu, jer to ištete. I otera ih od sebe Faraon.

12 Tada reče Gospod Mojsiju: Pruži ruku svoju na zemlju misirsku, da dođu skakavci na zemlju misirsku i pojedu sve bilje po zemlji, šta god osta iza grada.

13 I pruži Mojsije štap svoj na zemlju misirsku, i Gospod navede ustoku na zemlju, te duva celi dan i celu noć; a kad svanu, donese ustoka skakavce.

14 I dođoše skakavci na svu zemlju misirsku, i popadaše po svim krajevima misirskim silni veoma, kakvih pre nikada nije bilo niti će kad biti onakvih.

15 I pokriše svu zemlju, da se zemlja ne viđaše, i pojedoše svu travu na zemlji i sav rod na drvetima, što osta iza grada, i ne osta ništa zeleno od drveta i od bilja poljskog u svoj zemlji misirskoj.

16 Tada Faraon brže dozva Mojsija i Arona, i reče: Zgreših Gospodu Bogu vašem i vama.

17 Ali mi još sada samo oprosti greh moj, i molite se Gospodu Bogu svom da ukloni od mene samo ovu smrt.

18 I otide Mojsije od Faraona, i pomoli se Gospodu.

19 I okrenu Gospod vetar od zapada vrlo jak, koji uze skakavce i baci ih u Crveno more, i ne osta nijedan skakavac u celoj zemlji misirskoj.

20 Ali Gospod učini te otvrdnu srce Faraonu, i ne pusti sinove Izrailjeve.

21 I reče Gospod Mojsiju: Pruži ruku svoju k nebu, i biće tama po zemlji misirskoj takva da će je pipati.

22 I Mojsije pruži ruku svoju k nebu, i posta gusta tama po svoj zemlji misirskoj za tri dana.

23 Ne viđahu jedan drugog, i niko se ne mače s mesta gde beše za tri dana; ali se kod svih sinova Izrailjevih videlo po stanovima njihovim.

24 Tada Faraon dozva Mojsija, i reče: Idite, poslužite Gospodu; samo stoka vaša sitna i krupna neka ostane, a deca vaša neka idu s vama.

25 A Mojsije reče: Treba da nam daš i šta ćemo prineti i sažeći na žrtvu Gospodu Bogu svom;

26 Zato i stoka naša nek ide s nama, da ne ostane ni papka, jer između nje treba da uzmemo čim ćemo poslužiti Gospodu Bogu svom, a ne znamo kojim ćemo poslužiti Gospodu dokle ne dođemo onamo.

27 Ali Gospod učini te otvrdnu srce Faraonu, i ne hte ih pustiti.

28 I reče mu Faraon: Idi od mene, i čuvaj se da mi više ne dođeš na oči, jer ako mi dođeš na oči, poginućeš.

29 A Mojsije reče: Pravo si kazao; neću ti više doći na oči.

7686. 'Before them there were no [such] locusts like them, and there will not be such after them' means that no such falsity has existed since the Church first began, and such will not exist again. This is clear from the meaning of 'locusts' as falsity in outermost parts, dealt with in 7643; and the fact that no such falsity has existed or will exist, see also above in 7649. But this needs to be explained. The subject in the internal sense is in particular those who before the Lord's Coming were on the lower earth and could not be raised to heaven before the Lord had come into the world, taken on the Human, and made it Divine, see 6854, 6914. Till then they were molested by evil ones who also belonged to the Church and subscribed to the truths of faith, yet led an evil life. Those who before the Lord's Coming belonged to the Church and led an evil life were steeped in falsity, the like of which had not existed before then, nor ever will afterwards. The reason for this was that those called the Nephilim, also the Anakim and Rephaim, who belonged to the final descendants of the Most Ancient Church, had not yet been shut up in hell but wandered about, instilling dreadful and deadly persuasions wherever they could. They accordingly instilled them into evil people within the Church; and that was how such falsity came to exist with them. Regarding those Nephilim and their dreadful persuasions, see 310, 560, 562, 563, 570, 581, 586, 607 (end), 660, 805, 808, 1034, 1120, 1265-1272, 1673. When the Lord was in the world He cast them into a hell some distance away out in front on the left. Had He not done so very few people could have been saved, for the falsity which was instilled by them carried with it a dreadful power of persuasion, and was lethal; the like of it had never existed before and cannot exist ever again. Steeped in that kind of falsity were those who before the Lord's Coming molested members of the spiritual Church. This is what the words at this point are used to mean in the internal sense. In particular they refer to those who were molesters then, but in general they refer to all who belong to the Church and molest the upright in the next life, of whom there are very many at the present day.

586. 'The imagination of the thoughts of his heart was altogether evil all the day long' means that there was no perception of good and truth, the reason being, as has been stated and shown, that they immersed doctrinal matters concerning faith in their filthy desires. Once this had happened all perception perished, its place being taken by dreadful persuasion, that is, firmly fixed and lethal delusions, which also brought about their extinction and suffocation. Such deadly persuasion is here meant by 'the imagination of the thoughts of his heart'. But when 'the imagination of the heart' stands alone without the expression 'of the thoughts' the evil which belongs to self-love or to evil desires is meant, as in Chapter 8 below where, after Noah had offered burnt offerings, Jehovah said,

I will curse the ground no more on account of man, for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his childhood. Genesis 8:21.

[2] 'Imagination' is that which a person fashions for himself and of which he persuades himself, as in Habakkuk,

What profit is a graven image since its image-worker has graven it, a metal image and a teacher of lies, since the image-worker trusts in his own imagination to make dumb idols? Habakkuk 2:18.

'A graven image' means false persuasions resulting from ideas conceived and hatched by self. 'An image-worker' is someone who persuades himself, to whom 'imagination' has reference. In Isaiah,

O your perversity! Surely the potter will not be regarded as the clay, that the thing made will say to its maker, He did not make me? Or that the work of his imagination will say to its image-worker, He had no understanding? Isaiah 29:16.

'Imagination' here stands for thought originating in the proprium and for resulting false persuasion. In general 'imagination' is that which a person conceives from the heart or will, and also from his thinking or persuasion, as in David,

Jehovah knows our imagination, and remembers that we are dust. Psalms 103:14.

In Moses,

I know his imagination which he is performing this day, before I bring him into the land. Deuteronomy 31:21.

586[a] Verse 6 And Jehovah repented 1 that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.

'He repented' means mercy; 'He was grieved in heart' has a similar meaning. 'Repenting' has regard to wisdom, 'grieving in heart' to love.

Mga talababa:

1. repent is not used in this section in the sense of being penitent or contrite over personal wrong-doing but in the sense of sorrow or regret over any past decision or course of action.
