1 I mluvil Hospodin k Mojžíšovi, řka:

2 Posvěť mi všeho prvorozeného, cožkoli otvírá každý život mezi syny Izraelskými, tak z lidí jako z hovad, nebo mé jest.

3 Protož řekl Mojžíš lidu: Pamatujte na den tento, v kterémž jste vyšli z Egypta, z domu služby; nebo v silné ruce vyvedl vás odsud Hospodin, aniž kdo jez co kvašeného.

4 Dnes vycházíte vy, měsíce Abib.

5 Když tedy uvede tě Hospodin do země Kananejských, Hetejských, Amorejských, Hevejských a Jebuzejských, tak jakž přisáhl otcům tvým, a dá tobě zemi oplývající mlékem a strdí: tedy vykonávati budeš službu tuto v tento měsíc.

6 Za sedm dní jísti budeš chleby přesné, dne pak sedmého slavnost bude Hospodinova.

7 Přesní chlebové jedeni budou za dnů sedm, aniž spatříno bude u tebe co kvašeného, aniž se uhlédá u tebe kvas ve všech končinách tvých.

8 A vypravovati budeš synu svému v ten den, řka: Proto, což mi učinil Hospodin, když jsem vycházel z Egypta.

9 A budeť tobě to jako nějaké znamení na ruce tvé, a jako památka před očima tvýma, aby zákon Hospodinův byl v ústech tvých; nebo v ruce silné vyvedl tě Hospodin z Egypta.

10 Protož zachovávati budeš ustanovení toto v čas jistý, rok po roce.

11 A když by tě uvedl Hospodin do země Kananejských, tak jakž přisáhl tobě a otcům tvým, a dal by ji tobě:

12 Tedy všecko, což otvírá život, oddělíš Hospodinu, i každý plod hovada tvého otvírající život, což by koli bylo samců, Hospodinovo jest.

13 Každé pak prvorozené osle vyplatíš hovádkem; pakli bys nevyplatil, zlom jemu šíji; každého také prvorozeného člověka mezi syny svými vyplatíš.

14 A když by se tebe vzeptal syn tvůj potom, a řekl: Co jest to? tedy povíš jemu: V ruce silné vyvedl nás Hospodin z Egypta, z domu služebnosti.

15 Nebo když se byl zatvrdil Farao, a nechtěl nás propustiti, pobil Hospodin všecko prvorozené v zemi Egyptské, od prvorozeného z lidí, až do prvorozeného z hovad; i tou příčinou já obětuji Hospodinu všecky samce otvírající život, ale všecko prvorozené z synů svých vyplacuji.

16 Mějž to tedy jako znamení na ruce své, a jako náčelník mezi očima svýma, že v ruce silné vyvedl nás Hospodin z Egypta.

17 Stalo se pak, když pustil Farao lid, že nevedl jich Bůh cestou země Filistinské, ačkoli bližší byla; nebo řekl Bůh: Aby nepykal lid, když by uzřel, an válka nastává, a nevrátili se do Egypta.

18 Ale obvedl Bůh lid cestou přes poušť, kteráž jest při moři Rudém. A vojensky zpořádaní vyšli synové Izraelští z země Egyptské.

19 Vzal také Mojžíš kosti Jozefovy s sebou; nebo byl přísahou zavázal syny Izraelské, řka: Jistotně navštíví vás Bůh, protož vyneste odsud kosti mé s sebou.

20 Vytáhše tedy z Sochot, položili se v Etam při kraji pouště.

21 Hospodin pak předcházel je ve dne v sloupu oblakovém, aby je vedl cestou, v noci pak v sloupu ohnivém, aby svítil jim, aby ve dne i v noci jíti mohli.

22 Neodjal sloupu oblakového ve dne, ani ohnivého sloupu v noci od tváři toho lidu.

8093. 'That God did not lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines' means that the Divine saw to it that they should not pass on to the truth of faith that does not spring from good. This is clear from the meaning of 'God did not lead them by the way' as the Divine saw to it that they should not pass on to, for 'leading', when done by God, means providence, and 'the way' means truth, 627, 2333, in this instance passing on to it; and from the representation of 'the Philistines' as those who have a knowledge of the cognitions of faith but do not lead a life of charity, dealt with in 1197, 1198, 3412, 3413, thus those who possess the truth of faith that does not spring from good. The fact that 'the Philistines' and 'the land of the Philistines' have this meaning may be recognized from places in the Word where they are mentioned, in particular in Jeremiah 47:1-end, where they are described, also in Joel 3:5-6, as well as from the historical accounts in the Word referring to wars between the children of Israel and the Philistines, to the subjection of the children of Israel by the Philistines and then of the Philistines by the children of Israel. By 'the Philistines' in these places those who champion separated faith are represented, that is, people for whom the knowledge of cognitions of faith is all-important but not a life led in accordance with that knowledge, consequently people who teach and believe that a person is saved by faith alone.

[2] This particular belief about faith alone or separated faith is not new or something that belongs solely to the present time. It had come to exist in the ancient Churches, growing ever stronger along with evil in life. It is also described in various places in the Word, but by means of names, by Cain' first, in that he killed his brother Abel, 337, 340, 1179. In the internal representative sense of that story 'Cain' is that kind of faith, while 'Abel' is charity. Such faith is also described by 'Ham', when cursed by his father, 1062, 1063; after that by 'Reuben', in that he went up to his father's bed, 3870, 4601, and by 'Simeon and Levi', in that they killed Hamor and the men of Shechem and were for that reason cursed by their father, 3870, 6352. That faith is also described by 'the Egyptians' and by 'their firstborn', in that the latter were killed, 7766, 7778, and the former drowned in the Sea Suph. It is described too by 'the Philistines', 3412, 3413, and also by 'Tyre and Sidon', in various places in the Prophets; there a knowledge of the cognitions of faith is meant by 'the Philistines', and the cognitions themselves, interior and exterior, by 'Tyre and Sidon'. Lastly such faith is represented by 'Peter' when he denied the Lord three times, 6000, 6073(end). But see what has been shown already regarding this faith, in 36, 379, 389, 916, 1017, 1076, 1077, 1162, 1176, 1798, 1799, 1834, 1844, 2049, 2116, 2228, 2231, 2261, 2343, 2349, 2364, 2383, 2385, 2401, 2435, 2982, 3146, 3242, 3325, 3412, 3413, 3416, 3427, 3773, 4663, 4672, 4673, 4683, 4721, 4730, 4766, 4783, 4925, 5351, 5820, 5826, 6269, 6272, 6273, 6348, 6353, 7039, 7097, 7127, 7317, 7502, 7545, 7623-7627, 7724, 7779, 7790, 7950.

3412. 'All the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped them up' means that people who possessed knowledge of cognitions did not wish to know interior truths that came from the Divine and so effaced them. This is clear from the meaning of 'wells' as truths, dealt with in 2702, 3096, here interior truths coming from the Divine since the wells, which mean truths, are said to have been dug by 'his father's servants in the days of Abraham his father' - 'Abraham' representing the Lord's Divine itself, 2011, 2833, 2836, 3251, 3305 (end); from the meaning of 'stopping up' as not wishing to know and so effacing; and from the representation of 'the Philistines' as people who possess no more than a knowledge of cognitions, dealt with in 1197, 1198.

[2] The subject at this point is the appearances of truth that belong to the lower degree, which are able to exist with those who possess a knowledge of cognitions and whom 'the Philistines' are used to mean here. With regard to the interior truths that come from the Divine and are effaced by those called the Philistines, the position is that in the Ancient Church and after it the name Philistines was used for those who gave little thought to life and very much to doctrine, and who in course of time even rejected matters of life and acknowledged matters of faith - which faith was separated from life - as being the essential element of the Church. As a consequence they attached no importance at all to matters of doctrine concerning charity which in the Ancient Church constituted the all of doctrine, and so they effaced it. Instead they proclaimed matters of doctrine concerning faith and centred the whole of their religion in these. And since in this way they departed from the life of charity, that is, from charity as the sum and substance of life, they more than all others were called 'the uncircumcised'. For by 'the uncircumcised' were meant all in whom charity was not present, no matter how much doctrine they knew, 2049 (end).

[3] Because such people departed from charity they also removed themselves from wisdom and intelligence, for no one can have a wise and intelligent discernment of what truth is unless good, that is, charity, reigns in him. Indeed all truth originates in good and has regard to good, so that anyone who is devoid of good is unable to have an intelligent discernment of truth, and does not even wish to know it. When such people in the next life are far away from heaven, light bright as snow is sometimes seen to be with them. But that light is like the light in wintertime which, being devoid of warmth, is unproductive. This also explains why, when such persons draw near to heaven, their light is converted into utter darkness, and their minds into something akin to that darkness, which is stupidity. From these considerations it may now be seen what is meant by the statement that people who possessed no more than a knowledge of cognitions did not wish to know interior truths that came from the Divine and so effaced them.
