1 وكلم الرب موسى قائلا.

2 قدس لي كل بكر كل فاتح رحم من بني اسرائيل من الناس ومن البهائم. انه لي.

3 وقال موسى للشعب اذكروا هذا اليوم الذي فيه خرجتم من مصر من بيت العبودية. فانه بيد قوية اخرجكم الرب من هنا. ولا يؤكل خمير.

4 اليوم انتم خارجون في شهر ابيب.

5 ويكون متى ادخلك الرب ارض الكنعانيين والحثّيين والاموريين والحوّيين واليبوسيين التي حلف لآبائك ان يعطيك ارضا تفيض لبنا وعسلا انك تصنع هذه الخدمة في هذا الشهر.

6 سبعة ايام تأكل فطيرا وفي اليوم السابع عيد للرب.

7 فطيرا يؤكل السبعة الايام ولا يرى عندك مختمر ولا يرى عندك خمير في جميع تخومك

8 وتخبر ابنك في ذلك اليوم قائلا من اجل ما صنع اليّ الرب حين اخرجني من مصر.

9 ويكون لك علامة على يدك وتذكارا بين عينيك لكي تكون شريعة الرب في فمك. لانه بيد قوية اخرجك الرب من مصر.

10 فتحفظ هذه الفريضة في وقتها من سنة الى سنة

11 ويكون متى ادخلك الرب ارض الكنعانيين كما حلف لك ولآبائك واعطاك اياها

12 انك تقدم للرب كل فاتح رحم وكل بكر من نتاج البهائم التي تكون لك. الذكور للرب.

13 ولكن كل بكر حمار تفديه بشاة. وان لم تفده فتكسر عنقه. وكل بكر انسان من اولادك تفديه

14 ويكون متى سألك ابنك غدا قائلا ما هذا تقول له بيد قوية اخرجنا الرب من مصر من بيت العبودية.

15 وكان لما تقسى فرعون عن اطلاقنا ان الرب قتل كل بكر في ارض مصر من بكر الناس الى بكر البهائم. لذلك انا اذبح للرب الذكور من كل فاتح رحم وافدي كل بكر من اولادي.

16 فيكون علامة على يدك وعصابة بين عينيك. لانه بيد قوية اخرجنا الرب من مصر

17 وكان لما اطلق فرعون الشعب ان الله لم يهدهم في طريق ارض الفلسطينيين مع انها قريبة. لان الله قال لئلا يندم الشعب اذا رأوا حربا ويرجعوا الى مصر.

18 فادار الله الشعب في طريق برية بحر سوف. وصعد بنو اسرائيل متجهزين من ارض مصر.

19 واخذ موسى عظام يوسف معه. لانه كان قد استحلف بني اسرائيل بحلف قائلا ان الله سيفتقدكم فتصعدون عظامي من هنا معكم

20 وارتحلوا من سكوت ونزلوا في إيثام في طرف البرية.

21 وكان الرب يسير امامهم نهارا في عمود سحاب ليهديهم في الطريق وليلا في عمود نار ليضيء لهم. لكي يمشوا نهارا وليلا.

22 لم يبرح عمود السحاب نهارا وعمود النار ليلا من امام الشعب

8043. 'Whatever opens the womb' means which springs from charity. This is clear from the meaning of 'whatever opens the womb' as that which is born directly from someone who has been regenerated, thus which springs from charity, in accordance with what has been stated immediately above in 8042. For when a person is conceived anew he so to speak enters the womb again; and when a person is born anew he so to speak comes out of the womb again. But this time, what is conceived in and born from the womb is not the person as a person; rather it is faith, the offspring of charity. This faith gives the person a spiritual character; it so to speak remakes the person himself since his life is now begotten by it. From all this one may now see what is meant in the spiritual sense by 'whatever opens the womb'. Angels, whose ideas are solely spiritual ones, do not understand the expression in any other way. What 'the womb' means, and also what 'being in the womb' and 'coming out of the womb' mean, see 3293 (end), 3294, 3967, 4904, 4918, 4931, 5052, 5054, 6433.

[2] Since those things are meant by 'the womb', the Word speaks of the Lord as Him who 'formed from the womb', that is, who is the Regenerator, as in Isaiah,

Thus said Jehovah who made you and formed you from the womb, who helps you, Fear not, O My servant Jacob, and Jeshurun whom I have chosen, for I will pour out water upon thirsty land, and streams upon the dry I will pour out My spirit upon your seed, and blessing upon your sons. Isaiah 44:2-3.

The Lord is spoken of as Him who 'made and formed from the womb' because He regenerates a person, making a spiritual person out of one who is natural. Since regeneration is accomplished through truth and good it says that He will pour out water upon thirsty land and spirit upon his seed; for 'water' means the truth of faith, 2702, 3058, 3424, 4976, 5668, 7307, and 'spirit' means the good of charity, in the same way as 'water' and 'spirit' do in John,

Jesus said to Nicodemus, Truly, truly I say to you, Unless a person is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus said to Him, How can a person be born when he is old? Can he come a second time into his mother's womb? Jesus answered, Truly, truly I say to you, Unless a person has been born of water and spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which has been born of the flesh is flesh, but that which has been born of the spirit is spirit. Are you a teacher in Israel, and do not know this? John 3:3-6, 10.

[3] The Lord is again called the One who 'formed from the womb' elsewhere in Isaiah,

Thus said Jehovah, your Redeemer, and He who formed you from the womb, I am Jehovah who makes all things, who spreads out the heavens Alone, and who stretches out the earth by Myself. Isaiah 44:24.

'The heavens' and 'the earth' are used to mean in a general sense the internal and the external Church, 82, 1411, 1733, 1850, 3355, 4535, and in a particular sense the internal and the external aspects of the Church with a person who has been regenerated; and 'spreading out' and 'stretching out' mean making or creating by the use of Divine power, 7673. This is why the Lord as Regenerator is referred to as Maker and Creator, and why regeneration is referred to as a new creation.

[4] 'Womb' is used in a similar way in the same prophet,

Hearken to Me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel who have been carried from the belly who have been borne from the womb. Isaiah 46:3.

And in David,

On You, O Lord Jehovih, I have been laid from the womb; You brought me out of my mother's bowels; You are my praise continually Psalms 71:6.

From all this one may now see what is meant in the internal sense by 'whatever opens the womb' and consequently by 'the firstborn'.
