1 Og en Mand af Levis Hus gik hen og tog en Levi Datter til Ægte,

2 og Kvinden blev frugtsommelig og fødte en Søn. Da hun så, at det var en dejlig Dreng, skjulte hun ham i tre Måneder;

3 og da hun ikke længer kunde holde ham skjult, tog hun en Kiste af Papyrusrør, tættede den med Jordbeg og Tjære, lagde drengen i den og satte den hen mellem Sivene ved Nilens Bred.

4 Og hans Søster stillede sig noget derfra for at se, hvad der vilde ske med ham.

5 Da kom Faraos Datter ned til Nilen for at bade, og imedens gik hendes Jomfruer ved Flodens Bred. Så fik hun Øje på Kisten mellem Sivene og sendte sin Pige hen for at hente den.

6 Og da hun åbnede den, så hun Barnet, og se, det var et Drengebarn, der græd. Da ynkedes hun over det og sagde: "Det må være et af Hebræernes Drengebørn!"

7 Hans Søster sagde nu til Faraos Datter: "Skal jeg gå hen og hente dig en Amme blandt Hebræerkvinderne til at Amme Barnet for dig?"

8 Faraos Datter svarede hende: "Ja, gør det!" Så gik Pigen hen og hentede Barnets Moder.

9 Og Faraos Datter sagde til hende: "Tag dette Barn med dig og am ham for mig, jeg skal nok give dig din Løn derfor!" Og Kvinden tog Barnet og ammede ham.

10 Men da Drengen var blevet stor, bragte hun ham til Faraos Datter, og denne antog ham som sin Søn og gav ham Navnet Moses; "thi," sagde hun, "jeg har trukket ham op af Vandet."

11 På den Tid gik Moses, som imidlertid var blevet voksen, ud til sine Landsmænd og så på deres Trællearbejde. Og han så en Ægypter slå en Hebræer, en af hans Landsmænd, ihjel.

12 Da så han sig om til alle Sider, og efter at have forvisset sig om, at der ingen var i Nærheden, slog han Ægypteren ihjel og gravede ham ned i Sandet.

13 Da han den næste Dag igen gik derud, så han to Hebræere i Slagsmål med hinanden. Da sagde han til ham, der havde Uret: "Hvorfor slår du din Landsmand?"

14 Han svarede: "Hvem har sat dig til Herre og Dommer over os? Vil du måske slå mig ihjel, ligesom du slog Ægypteren ihjel?" Og Moses blev bange og tænkte: "Så er det dog blevet bekendt!"

15 Da Farao fik Nys derom, søgte han at komme Moses til Livs, men Moses flygtede for Farao og tyede til Midjans Land, og der satte han sig ved en Brønd.

16 Præsten i Midjan havde syv Døtre; de kom nu hen og øste Vand og fyldte Trugene for at vande deres Faders Småkvæg.

17 Da kom Hyrderne og vilde jage dem bort, men Moses stod op og hjalp dem og vandede deres Småkvæg.

18 Da de nu kom hjem til deres Fader euel, sagde han: "Hvorfor kommer I så tidligt hjem i Dag?"

19 De svarede: "Der var en Ægypter, som hjalp os over for Hyrderne, ja han øste også Vand for os og vandede Småkvæget."

20 Da sagde han til sine Døtre: "Hvor er han da? Hvorfor har I ladet Manden blive derude? Byd ham ind, at han kan få noget at spise!"

21 Så bestemte Moses sig til at tage Ophold hos Manden, og han gav Moses sin Datter Zippora til Ægte,

22 og hun fødte en Søn, som han kaldte Gersom; "thi," sagde han, "jeg er blevet Gæst i et fremmed Land."

23 Således gik der lang Tid hen, og imidlertid døde Ægypterkongen. Men Israeliterne stønnede og klagede under deres Trældom, og deres Skrig over Trældommen nåede op til Gud.

24 Da hørte Gud deres Jamren, og Gud ihukom sin Pagt med Abraham, Isak og Jakob,

25 og Gud så til Israeliterne, og Gud kendtes ved dem.

6754. Verses 11-14 And it happened in those days, when Moses had grown up, that he went out to his brothers, and saw their burdens. And he saw an Egyptian man striking a Hebrew man, one of his brothers. And he looked this way and that, and saw that there was no man; and he struck the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. And he went out the second day, and behold, two Hebrew men were quarrelling; and he said to the one in the wrong, Why are you striking your companion? And he said, Who set you up as a man-prince and a judge over us? Do you intend 1 to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian? And Moses was afraid, and said, Surely the matter is known!

'And it happened in those days, when Moses had grown up means while those states lasted, and an increase in factual knowledge holding truths within it. 'That he went out to his brothers' means a joining to the Church's truths. 'And saw their burdens' means a discernment that they were being molested by falsities. 'And he saw an Egyptian man striking a Hebrew man' means alienated factual knowledge trying to destroy the Church's truth. 'One of his brothers' means the truths to which he was to be joined. 'And he looked this way and that, and saw that there was no man' means care taken to see whether it was safe. 'And he struck the Egyptian' means that he destroyed alienated factual knowledge. 'And hid him in the sand' means that he banished it to where falsities were. 'And he went out the second day' means a joining once again to the Church. 'And behold, two Hebrew men were quarrelling' means a discernment that within the Church people were in conflict with one another. 'And he said to the one in the wrong, Why are you striking your companion?' means a rebuke, deploring that one person should wish to destroy another's faith. 'And he said, Who set you up as a man-prince and a judge over us?' means a perception that he was not yet so advanced into the truths of the Church that he could settle disagreements within the Church. 'Do you intend to kill me . . . ' means, Do you wish to destroy my faith...'As you killed the Egyptian?' means, As you destroyed falsity? 'And Moses was afraid, and said, Surely the matter is known!' means that he was among alienated factual knowledge and not yet so strong in truths as to be safe from harm.

Exodus第2章

学习

   

1 A man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi as his wife.

2 The woman conceived, and bore a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months.

3 When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus basket for him, and coated it with tar and with pitch. She put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river's bank.

4 His sister stood far off, to see what would be done to him.

5 Pharaoh's daughter came down to bathe at the river. Her maidens walked along by the riverside. She saw the basket among the reeds, and sent her handmaid to get it.

6 She opened it, and saw the child, and behold, the baby cried. She had compassion on him, and said, "This is one of the Hebrews' children."

7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, "Should I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?"

8 Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Go." The maiden went and called the child's mother.

9 Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Take this child away, and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages." The woman took the child, and nursed it.

10 The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, and said, "Because I drew him out of the water."

11 It happened in those days, when Moses had grown up, that he went out to his brothers, and looked at their burdens. He saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his brothers.

12 He looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no one, he killed the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.

13 He went out the second day, and behold, two men of the Hebrews were fighting with each other. He said to him who did the wrong, "Why do you strike your fellow?"

14 He said, "Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you plan to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian?" Moses was afraid, and said, "Surely this thing is known."

15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and lived in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well.

16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. They came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.

17 The shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.

18 When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, "How is it that you have returned so early today?"

19 They said, "An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock."

20 He said to his daughters, "Where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread."

21 Moses was content to dwell with the man. He gave Moses Zipporah, his daughter.

22 She bore a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, "I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land."

23 It happened in the course of those many days, that the king of Egypt died, and the children of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.

24 God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

25 God saw the children of Israel, and God was concerned about them.
