1 Mluvil pak Hospodin k Mojžíšovi a k Aronovi v zemi Egyptské, řka:

2 Tento měsíc počátek měsíců vám bude; první vám bude mezi měsíci ročními.

3 Mluvte ke všemu shromáždění Izraelskému, řkouce: Desátého dne měsíce tohoto vezmete sobě jeden každý beránka po čeledech, beránka na každý dům.

4 Byl-li by pak dům tak malý, že by s beránka býti nemohl, přivezme souseda svého, kterýž jest blízký domu jeho, podlé počtu duší; jeden každý počte tolik osob, kolikž by jich snísti mohlo beránka.

5 Beránka bez vady, samce ročního míti budete, kteréhož z ovcí aneb z koz vezmete.

6 A chovati ho budete až do čtrnáctého dne měsíce tohoto; a zabije ho všecko množství shromáždění Izraelského k večerou.

7 A vezmouce krve, pomaží obou veřejí a nade dveřmi u domů, v nichž jej jísti budou.

8 I budou jísti noci té maso pečené ohněm, s chleby přesnými; s bylinami hořkými jísti jej budou.

9 Nebudete jísti z něho nic surového ani v vodě vařeného, ale pečené ohněm, s hlavou jeho i s nohami a droby.

10 Nezanecháte z něho ničehož do jitra; pakli by co pozůstalo z něho až do jitra, ohněm spálíte.

11 Takto jej pak jísti budete: Bedra svá přepásaná míti budete, obuv svou na nohách svých a hůl svou v ruce své, a jísti budete s chvátáním; nebo Jití jest Hospodinovo.

12 V tu noc zajisté půjdu po zemi Egyptské, a budu bíti všecko prvorozené v zemi Egyptské, od člověka až do hovada, a nade všemi bohy Egyptskými učiním soud: Já Hospodin.

13 Krev pak ta na domích, v nichž budete, budeť vám na znamení; a když uzřím Krev, pominu vás, a nebude mezi vámi rána zahubující, když bíti budu prvorozené v zemi Egyptské.

14 A budeť vám den ten na památku, a slaviti jej budete slavný Hospodinu po rodech svých; právem věčným slaviti jej budete.

15 Za sedm dní přesné chleby jísti budete, a hned prvního dne vyprázdníte kvas z domů vašich; nebo kdožkoli jedl by co kvašeného od prvního až do sedmého dne, vyhlazena bude duše ta z Izraele.

16 A v den první budeť shromáždění svaté; dne také sedmého shromáždění svaté míti budete. Žádného díla nebude děláno v nich; toliko čehož se užívá k jídlu od každého, to samo připraveno bude od vás.

17 A ostříhati budete přesnic, nebo v ten den vyvedl jsem vojska vaše z země Egyptské; protož zachovávati budete den ten po rodech svých právem věčným.

18 Prvního měsíce, čtrnáctého dne téhož měsíce, u večer jísti budete chleby přesné, až do dne jedenmecítmého téhož měsíce k večerou.

19 Za sedm dní nebude nalezeno kvasu v domích vašich; nebo kdo by koli jedl něco kvašeného, vyhlazena bude duše ta z shromáždění Izraelského, tak příchozí jako zrozený v zemi.

20 Nic kvašeného jísti nebudete, ale ve všech příbytcích vašich jísti budete chleby přesné.

21 Tedy svolal Mojžíš všecky starší Izraelské, a řekl jim: Vybeřte a vezměte sobě beránka po čeledech svých, a zabíte Fáze.

22 Vezmete také svazček yzopu, a omočíte v krvi, kteráž bude v medenici, a pomažete nade dveřmi a na obou veřejích tou krví, kteráž bude v nádobě; z vás pak žádný nevycházej ze dveří domu svého až do jitra.

23 Neboť půjde Hospodin, aby bil Egypt, a kde uzří krev nade dveřmi a na obou veřejích, přeskočí Hospodin ty dvéře, aniž dopustí zhoubci vjíti do domů vašich k hubení.

24 Protož ostříhati budete věci této za ustanovení tobě i synům tvým až na věky.

25 A když vejdete do země, kterouž dá Hospodin vám, jakž zaslíbil, zachovávati budete službu tuto.

26 Když by pak řekli vám synové vaši: Jaká jest to služba vaše?

27 Tedy díte: Obět Fáze toto jest Hospodinu, kterýž pominul domů synů Izraelských v Egyptě, když bil Egypt, domy pak naše vysvobodil. A lid sklonivše hlavy, poklonu učinili.

28 A rozšedše se synové Izraelští, učinili, jakž byl Hospodin přikázal Mojžíšovi a Aronovi; tak a nejinak učinili.

29 Stalo se pak o půlnoci, pobil Hospodin všecko prvorozené v zemi Egyptské, od prvorozeného Faraonova, kterýž seděti měl na stolici jeho, až do prvorozeného vězně, kterýž byl v žaláři, i všecko prvorozené hovad.

30 Tedy vstal Farao noci té, a všickni služebníci jeho i všickni Egyptští, a vzešel křik veliký v Egyptě; nebo žádného nebylo domu, v němž by nebylo něčeho mrtvého.

31 A povolav Mojžíše a Arona v noci, řekl: Vstaňte, vyjděte z prostředku lidu mého, i vy i synové Izraelští, a odejdouce, služte Hospodinu, jakž jste mluvili.

32 Ovce také vaše i voly vaše vezměte, jakž jste žádali, a jděte; a dejte mi také požehnání.

33 I nutkali Egyptští lid, aby co nejrychleji vyšli z země; nebo pravili: Všickni již teď zemřeme.

34 Protož vzal lid těsto své, prvé než zkysalo, obaliv je v šaty své, na ramena svá.

35 Učinili pak synové Izraelští podlé rozkazu Mojžíšova; nebo vyžádali byli od Egyptských klínotů stříbrných a zlatých, i šatů.

36 A Hospodin dal milost lidu před očima Egyptských, tak že půjčovali jim. I obloupili Egyptské.

37 Tedy táhli synové Izraelští z Ramesses k Sochot, okolo šestkrát sto tisíc pěších, mužů toliko kromě dětí.

38 Ano také jiného lidu mnoho vyšlo s nimi, ovec také a volů, dobytka velmi mnoho.

39 I napekli z těsta, kteréž vynesli z Egypta, koláčů nekvašených; nebo ještě bylo nezkynulo, proto že vypuzeni byli z Egypta, a nemohli prodlévati, a ani pokrmů na cestu nepřipravili sobě.

40 Čas pak bydlení synů Izraelských, kteříž byli v Egyptě, byl čtyři sta a třidceti let.

41 A když se vyplnilo čtyři sta a třidceti let, právě toho dne vyšla všecka vojska Hospodinova z země Egyptské.

42 Noc tato pilně ostříhána býti má Hospodinu, v níž vyvedl je z země Egyptské; tať tedy Noc Hospodinova ostříhána bude ode všech synů Izraelských po národech jejich.

43 I řekl Hospodin Mojžíšovi a Aronovi: Tentoť bude řád při slavnosti Fáze: Žádný cizozemec nebude jísti z něho.

44 Každý pak služebník váš za stříbro koupený, když by obřezán byl, teprv jísti bude z něho.

45 Příchozí a nájemník nebude jísti z něho.

46 V témž domě jísti jej budeš, nevyneseš z domu ven masa jeho; a kostí v něm nezlámete.

47 Všecko shromáždění Izraelské tak s ním učiní.

48 Jestliže by pak cizozemec bydlil s tebou pohostinu, a slaviti by chtěl Fáze Hospodinu, prvé obřezán bude každý pohlaví mužského; a tehdy přistoupí k slavení jeho, a bude jako tu v zemi zrozený; žádný pak neobřezaný nebude jísti z něho.

49 Jednostejné právo bude tu zrodilému a příchozímu, kterýž jest pohostinu u prostřed vás.

50 Tedy učinili všickni synové Izraelští, jakž přikázal Hospodin Mojžíšovi a Aronovi; tak učinili.

51 A tak stalo se právě toho dne, že vyvedl Hospodin syny Izraelské z země Egyptské s vojsky jejich.

4444 .'When they heard; and the men were grieved and blazing with anger' means that they were under the influence of evil that was directed against the truth of the Church among the Ancients. This is clear from the meaning of 'being grieved and blazing with anger' here as being under the influence of evil. Its direction against the truth of the Church among the Ancients follows because the anger was against Shechem the son of Hamor, who means the truth known to the Ancients, as stated above in 4430, 4431. Their being under the influence of evil is evident from details given further on, namely that they spoke deceitfully, verse 13, and then after Shechem and Hamor had submitted to their demands they killed them, verses 26-29. Consequently 'being grieved' here and 'blazing with anger' mean that they were under the influence of evil. Their action looks like zeal aroused in them because he had lain with their sister, to judge by the words which immediately follow 'because he had done something disgraceful in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, a thing that ought not to be done' - and by those at the end of the chapter 'They said, Is he going to treat our sister like a prostitute?' verse 31. But it was not zeal, for zeal cannot possibly exist with someone who is under the influence of evil, only with one governed by good; for zeal has good within it, 4164.

[2] The semblance of religion which existed among their descendants did indeed have good within it, in that all its details, each one, represented the celestial and spiritual things of the Lord's kingdom. But in the case of those with whom it existed it did not hold anything good at all since they were confined solely to external things devoid of internal, as shown above. It is the same with the semblance of religion possessed by that nation among whom it exists even at the present day. They acknowledge Moses and the Prophets, and so the Word. In itself this is holy but in their case it is not holy, for within every detail there they see themselves and so that which is worldly. Indeed they turn the Word into something earthly, for they do not know or even care about anything heavenly within it. If the state of a people is like this, no good can exist in them when their own semblance of religion holds sway over them. Instead evil is present, for nothing heavenly enters into them because they will annihilate it.

[3] There was a law, also known in the Ancient Church, according to which anyone who ravished a virgin had to provide her with a dowry and take her to be his wife, as the following words in Moses laid down,

If a man persuades a virgin who is not betrothed, and lies with her, he shall endow her with a dowry to be his wife; if her father utterly refuses to give her to him he shall weigh silver according to the dowry of virgins. Exodus 22:16-17.

And elsewhere,

If a man finds a young woman, a virgin, who is not betrothed, and he seizes her and lies with her, and they are discovered, the man who lay with her shall give to the young woman's father fifty pieces of silver, and she shall become his wife, because he ravished her; and he will not be able to divorce her all his days. Deuteronomy 22:28-29.

The fact that this same law was known to the Ancients is quite evident from Shechem's words to the young woman's father and brothers,

Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, Let me find grace in your eyes, and I will give that which you tell me. Increase the dowry and gift to any size and I will give you whatever you tell me, and give me the young woman for a wife. Verses 11-12.

Also, because Shechem was willing to fulfill this law and Dinah's brothers gave their consent provided he became as they themselves were, by circumcising every male, according to the words that follow

Only on this [condition] will we consent to you: If you will be as we are, by circumcising every male among you, then we will give our daughters to you, and your daughters we will take to ourselves, and we will dwell with you, and we wit be one people. Verses 15-16

- it is therefore evident that they did not act in conformity with the law, thus were not motivated by good, but acted contrary to the law, and consequently were motivated by evil.

[4] The law forbade them, it is true, to enter into marriages with the gentile nations, as laid down in Moses,

Lest you take their daughters for your sons, and their daughters go whoring after their gods, and they cause your sons to go whoring after their gods. Exodus 34:16.

And elsewhere,

You shall not establish a marriage relationship with the nations; you shall not give your daughter to his son, and you shall not take his daughter for your son, for he will turn your son from following Me, to serve other gods. Deuteronomy 7:3-4.

But this law referred to idolatrous nations. It was laid down to prevent their turning away, through such marriages, from truly representative worship to idolatrous worship; for once they became idolaters they were no longer able to represent the celestial and spiritual things of the Lord's kingdom, only their opposites, namely the things of hell. In fact, once they were idolaters, they summoned from hell a certain devil whom they worshipped and to whom they applied Divine representatives. This accounts for its being said that they were not to go whoring after their gods. That law was also laid down for the further reason that 'the nations' means evils and falsities with which the goods and truths which they represented were not to be mingled, and therefore devilish and hellish things were not to be mingled with celestial and spiritual ones, 3024 (end).

[5] But they were in no way forbidden to contract marriages with nations who willingly adopted their worship and who, after being circumcised, acknowledged Jehovah. These they called sojourners sojourning with them, of whom the following is said in Moses,

If a sojourner sojourns with you and wishes to keep the Passover to Jehovah, every male he has shall be circumcised, and then he shall come near and keep it; and he will be as an inhabitant of the land. There shall be one law for the inhabitant and for the sojourner who sojourns in the midst of you. Exodus 12:48-49.

And elsewhere,

When the sojourner has sojourned with you, he shall keep the Passover to Jehovah according to the statute for the Passover, and according to the regulations 1 for it. There shall be one statute for you, both for the sojourner and for the native of the land. Numbers 9:14.

The reason why they were called sojourners sojourning in the midst of them and with them was that 'sojourning' meant receiving instruction, and so 'a sojourner' those who allowed themselves to receive instruction in statutes and matters of doctrine, see 1463, 2025, 3672. In the same author,

If a sojourner should sojourn with you who would make a fire-offering of an odour of rest to Jehovah, he shall do as you do. As for the assembly, one statute shall there be for you and for the sojourner who sojourns, an eternal statute throughout your generations. As you are, so shall the sojourner be before Jehovah. There shall be one law and one judgement for you and for the sojourner sojourning with you. Numbers 15:14-16.

And elsewhere,

As the native among you shall the sojourner sojourning with you be to you.

Leviticus 19:34.

One judgement shall there be for you; it shall be for the sojourner as for the native. Leviticus 24:22.

[6] The fact that this statute was known not only to Jacob and his sons but also to Shechem and Hamor is evident from the words spoken by them. For the statutes, judgements, and laws which were given to the Israelite and Jewish nation were not new but such as existed previously in the Ancient Church and in the second Ancient Church which, from Eber, was called the Hebrew, as has been shown in various places. The consequent knowledge of this law is evident from the words of Jacob's sons,

Jacob's sons said to Hamor and Shechem, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to a man who has a foreskin; for that would be a reproach to us. Only on this [condition] will we consent to you: If you will be as we are, by circumcising every male among you, then we will give our daughters to you, and your daughters we will take to ourselves, and we will dwell with you, and we will be one people. Verses 14-16.

That knowledge is also evident from Hamor and Shechem's words, in that they not only consented but also did cause themselves and every male of their city to be circumcised, verses 18-24.

[7] This shows that Shechem became a sojourner such as is referred to in the Law, and so could take Jacob's daughter as a wife; and that their killing them was accordingly an unmentionable deed, as Jacob also bore witness before his death, Genesis 49:5-7. The fact that not only Judah but also Moses, as well as the kings of the Jews and Israelites, and many of the people too, married wives from gentile nations is clear from the historical sections of the Word; and one should not doubt that those wives accepted their statutes, judgements, and laws and were acknowledged as sojourners.
