1 Kaj la Eternulo ekparolis al Moseo kaj al Aaron en la lando Egipta, dirante:

2 CXi tiu monato estu por vi komenco de la monatoj; la unua gxi estu por vi inter la monatoj de la jaro.

3 Diru al la tuta komunumo de Izrael:En la deka tago de cxi tiu monato prenu al si sxafidon cxiu patro de familio, po unu sxafido por domo.

4 Kaj se en la domo estas tro malmulte da personoj por tuta sxafido, tiam li prenu kune kun sia najbaro plej proksima al lia domo; laux la nombro de la animoj, laux la kvanto de mangxado de cxiu, ili kalkulu sin por la sxafido.

5 La sxafido estu sendifekta, virseksa, havanta la agxon de unu jaro; el la sxafoj aux el la kaproj vi povas preni.

6 Konservu gxin gxis la dek-kvara tago de cxi tiu monato; kaj la tuta komunumo de Izrael bucxu gxin en la komenco de vespero.

7 Kaj ili prenu iom el la sango, kaj sxmiru sur ambaux fostoj kaj sur la supra sojlo de la domoj, en kiuj ili gxin mangxos.

8 Kaj ili mangxu la viandon en tiu nokto, rostitan sur fajro; kaj macojn kun maldolcxaj herboj ili mangxu.

9 Ne mangxu gxin duonkrudan, nek kuiritan en akvo, sed nur rostitan sur fajro kun gxiaj kapo, kruroj, kaj internajxoj.

10 Ne restigu iom el gxi gxis la mateno; kio restos el gxi gxis la mateno, tion bruligu per fajro.

11 Kaj tiele mangxu gxin; via lumbo estu zonita, viaj sxuoj sur viaj piedoj, kaj via bastono en via mano; kaj mangxu gxin rapidante; gxi estas Pasko de la Eternulo.

12 Kaj Mi trairos la landon Egiptan en tiu nokto, kaj Mi batos cxiun unuenaskiton en la lando Egipta, de la homoj gxis la brutoj; kaj super cxiuj dioj de Egiptujo Mi faros jugxon, Mi, la Eternulo.

13 Kaj la sango cxe vi estos signo sur la domoj, en kiuj vi trovigxas; kiam Mi vidos la sangon, Mi pasos preter vi, kaj ne estos inter vi la eksterma puno, kiam Mi batos la landon Egiptan.

14 Kaj tiu tago estu por vi memorajxo; kaj festu gxin kiel feston de la Eternulo en viaj generacioj, kiel legxon por eterne festu gxin.

15 Dum sep tagoj mangxu macojn; en la unua tago forigu la fermentajxon el viaj domoj; cxiu kiu mangxos fermentajxon de la unua tago gxis la sepa tago, ties animo estos ekstermita el Izrael.

16 Kaj en la unua tago faru al vi sanktan kunvenon, kaj en la sepa tago faru al vi sanktan kunvenon; nenia laboro estu farata en tiuj tagoj; nur kio estas necesa por mangxi por cxiu, nur tio sola povas esti farata de vi.

17 Kaj observu la ordonon pri la macoj, cxar gxuste en tiu tago Mi elkondukis viajn tacxmentojn el la lando Egipta; kaj observu tiun tagon en viaj generacioj kiel legxon eternan.

18 De post la vespero de la dek-kvara tago de la unua monato mangxu macojn gxis la vespero de la dudek-unua tago de la monato.

19 Dum sep tagoj fermentajxo ne trovigxu en viaj domoj; cxar kiu mangxos fermentajxon, ties animo ekstermigxos el la komunumo de Izrael, cxu li estas fremdulo, aux cxu li estas indigxeno de la lando.

20 Nenion fermentintan mangxu; en cxiuj viaj logxlokoj mangxu macojn.

21 Moseo alvokis cxiujn cxefojn de Izrael, kaj diris al ili:Elektu kaj prenu al vi sxafidojn laux viaj familioj, kaj bucxu la Paskon.

22 Kaj prenu faskon da hisopo, kaj trempu gxin en la sango, kiu estos en la pelvo, kaj tusxu la supran sojlon kaj ambaux fostojn per la sango, kiu estos en la pelvo; kaj neniu el vi eliru el la pordo de sia domo gxis la mateno.

23 Kaj la Eternulo trairos, por puni la Egiptojn; kiam Li vidos la sangon sur la supra sojlo kaj ambaux fostoj, tiam la Eternulo preterpasos la pordon kaj ne permesos al la ekstermanto veni en viajn domojn por puni.

24 Kaj observu cxi tion kiel legxon por vi kaj por viaj filoj eterne.

25 Kaj kiam vi venos en la landon, kiun la Eternulo donos al vi, kiel Li diris, observu cxi tiun servon.

26 Kaj kiam diros al vi viaj filoj:Kion signifas cxi tiu via servo?

27 tiam diru:GXi estas ofero de Pasko al la Eternulo, kiu preterpasis la domojn de la Izraelidoj en Egiptujo, kiam Li punis la Egiptojn, sed niajn domojn savis. Kaj la popolo klinigxis kaj faris adoron.

28 Kaj la Izraelidoj iris, kaj faris, kiel ordonis la Eternulo al Moseo kaj Aaron; tiel ili faris.

29 Kiam venis la noktomezo, la Eternulo batis cxiujn unuenaskitojn en la lando Egipta, de la unuenaskito de Faraono, sidanta sur sia trono, gxis la unuenaskito de malliberulo, sidanta en malliberejo; kaj cxiujn unuenaskitojn el la brutoj.

30 Tiam Faraono levigxis en la nokto, li kaj cxiuj liaj servantoj kaj cxiuj Egiptoj; kaj farigxis granda kriado en Egiptujo; cxar ne estis domo, en kiu ne estis mortinto.

31 Kaj li alvokis Moseon kaj Aaronon en la nokto, kaj diris:Levigxu, foriru el inter mia popolo, vi kaj la Izraelidoj; kaj iru, faru servon al la Eternulo, kiel vi diris.

32 Ankaux viajn sxafojn kaj viajn bovojn prenu, kiel vi diris, kaj iru; kaj benu ankaux min.

33 Kaj la Egiptoj urgxis sur la popolon, por pli rapide elirigi ilin el la lando; cxar ili diris:Ni cxiuj mortos.

34 Kaj la popolo forportis sian paston, antaux ol gxi fermentis; iliaj pastujoj, ligitaj en iliaj vestoj, estis sur iliaj sxultroj.

35 Kaj la Izraelidoj faris, kiel diris Moseo; kaj ili petis de la Egiptoj vazojn argxentajn kaj vazojn orajn kaj vestojn.

36 Kaj la Eternulo favorigis al la popolo la Egiptojn, kaj cxi tiuj pruntedonis al ili; kaj ili multe prenis de la Egiptoj.

37 Kaj la Izraelidoj ekiris el Rameses al Sukot, en la nombro de cxirkaux sescent mil piedirantaj viroj, krom la infanoj.

38 Kaj ankaux granda amaso da diversgentaj homoj eliris kun ili, kaj da sxafoj kaj bovoj tre granda brutaro.

39 Kaj el la pasto, kiun ili elportis el Egiptujo, ili bakis macajn platpanojn, cxar gxi ankoraux ne fermentis; cxar ili estis elpelitaj el Egiptujo kaj ne povis prokrasti, kaj ili ecx ne pretigis al si mangxajxon.

40 La dauxro de la tempo, kiun la Izraelidoj logxis en Egiptujo, estis kvarcent tridek jaroj.

41 Kiam finigxis kvarcent tridek jaroj, gxuste en la sama tago, cxiuj tacxmentoj de la Eternulo eliris el la lando Egipta.

42 GXi estas nokto dedicxata al la Eternulo, cxar Li elkondukis ilin el la lando Egipta; gxi estas tiu nokto, kiu estas dedicxata al la Eternulo de cxiuj Izraelidoj en iliaj generacioj.

43 Kaj la Eternulo diris al Moseo kaj Aaron:CXi tio estas la legxo pri la Pasko:neniu fremdulo mangxu gxin.

44 Sed cxiu sklavo, kiun iu acxetis per mono, se vi cirkumcidis lin, tiam li povas mangxi gxin.

45 Paslogxanto kaj dungito ne mangxu gxin.

46 En unu domo gxi estu mangxata; ne elportu el la domo iom el la viando eksteren, kaj oston en gxi ne rompu.

47 La tuta komunumo de Izrael faru gxin.

48 Kaj se enlogxigxos cxe vi aligentulo kaj li volos fari Paskon al la Eternulo, tiam cirkumcidu cxe li cxiujn virseksulojn, kaj tiam li povas prepari sin, por fari gxin, kaj li estos kiel indigxeno de la lando; sed neniu ne cirkumcidita mangxu gxin.

49 La sama legxo estu por la indigxeno, kaj por la aligentulo, kiu enlogxigxis inter vi.

50 Kaj cxiuj Izraelidoj faris, kiel ordonis la Eternulo al Moseo kaj al Aaron; tiel ili faris.

51 En tiu sama tago la Eternulo elkondukis la Izraelidojn el la lando Egipta laux iliaj tacxmentoj.

7978. 'And they baked the dough which they brought out of Egypt - unleavened cakes' means that from the truth of good further good was produced that had no falsity at all in it. This is clear from the meaning of 'baking' - when used in reference to the truth of good, meant by 'the dough' - as producing; from the meaning of 'the dough' as the truth of good, dealt with above in 7966; and from the meaning of 'unleavened cakes' as forms of good that have no falsity at all in them, since 'unleavened' means without falsity, see 2342, 7906. This is the second state of truth from good that they passed through when they were delivered, see above in 7966, 7972. The reason why 'cakes' means forms of good is that they are cakes of bread, and 'bread' in the internal sense is the good of love, dealt with in 276, 680, 2165, 2177, 3464, 3478, 3735, 3813, 4211, 4217, 4735, 4976, 5915. But bread in the form of cakes is distinguished from bread in general, in that bread in the form of cakes means the good of love towards the neighbour, which is spiritual good, while bread in general means the good of love to the Lord, which is celestial good. Such spiritual good was meant by 'the minchah' which was offered and burned with the sacrifice on the altar; for 'the minchah' was baked into cakes and into wafers, as is made clear in Exodus 29:2-3, 23-24, 32; Leviticus 2:2 and following verses; 6:20-21; Numbers 6:15, 19; 15:18-21.

[2] Something similar was meant by 'the twelve loaves of the presence which too were baked into cakes, described in Moses as follows,

You shall take fine flour and bake it into twelve cakes; two-tenths [of an ephah] shall there be in one cake. And you shall place them in two rows, six in a row, on the clean table before Jehovah. And you shall put pure frankincense on each row, and it shall be loaves of bread serving as a memorial, a fire-offering to Jehovah. Leviticus 24:5-9.

From these instructions it becomes clear that 'the loaves' meant what was holy, for such instructions would never have been issued but for that reason. And since they meant what was holy they were also called in verse 9 of the same chapter 'holiness of holinesses.' 1 But these loaves meant the good of celestial love, and their being baked into cakes meant forms of the good of spiritual love. From these verses and from those in the references given above it becomes clear that something similar is meant by the bread in the Holy Supper.

3813. As regards 'flesh', this means in the highest sense the Proprium of the Lord's Divine Human, which is Divine Good, and in the relative sense means the will side of the human proprium when made alive by the Proprium of the Lord's Divine Human, that is, by His Divine Good. This proprium is the one called the heavenly proprium which, in itself the Lord's alone, is appropriated to those who are governed by good and consequently by truth. Such a proprium exists with angels in heaven, and also with men whose interiors, that is, their spirits, are in the Lord's kingdom. But in the contrary sense 'flesh' means the will side of the human proprium, which in itself is nothing but evil, and not having been made alive by the Lord is called dead; and the individual himself is for that reason called dead.

[2] That 'flesh' in the highest sense means the Proprium of the Lord's Divine Human, and so His Divine Good, is clear from the Lord's words in John,

Jesus said, I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread he will live for ever. The bread which I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. The Jews disputed with one another, saying, How can this man give his flesh to eat? Jesus therefore said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you will have no life in yourselves. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day; for My flesh is truly food, and My blood is truly drink. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. This is the bread which came down from heaven. John 6:51-58.

Here it is quite evident that 'flesh' means the Proprium of the Lord's Divine Human, and so the Divine Good - His flesh in the Holy Supper being called 'the body'. His body or flesh in the Holy Supper is the Divine Good, and His blood the Divine Truth, see 1798, 2165, 2177, 3464, 3735. And since bread and wine have the same meaning as flesh and blood - that is to say, 'bread' is the Lord's Divine Good, and 'wine' His Divine Truth - bread and wine were commanded in place of flesh and blood. This is why the Lord says, 'I am the living bread; the bread which I will give is My flesh; he who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me and I in him; this is the bread which came down from heaven'. 'Eating' means being communicated, being joined to, and being made one's own, see 2187, 2343, 3168, 3513 (end), 3596.

[3] The same was represented in the Jewish Church by the law that the flesh of sacrifices was to be eaten by Aaron and his sons, by those persons who brought the sacrifice, and by others who were clean; and that this flesh was holy, see Exodus 12:7-9; 29:30-34; Leviticus 7:15-21; 8:31; Deuteronomy 12:27; 16:4. That being so, if any unclean person ate some of that flesh he was to be cut off from his people, Leviticus 7:21. The fact that these sacrifices were called 'bread', see 2165, and that that sacrificial flesh was called 'holy flesh', Jeremiah 11:15; Haggai 2:12. And in Ezekiel 40:43 where the new Temple is the subject, it is called 'the flesh of the offering which is on the tables in the Lord's kingdom', by which clearly worship of the Lord in His kingdom is meant.

[4] That 'flesh' in the relative sense means the will side of man's proprium when made alive by the Lord is Divine Good is clear also from the following places: In Ezekiel,

I will give them one heart, and will put a new spirit in your midst; and I will remove the heart of stone out of their flesh and will give them a heart of flesh. Ezekiel 11:19; 36:26.

'The heart of stone out of their flesh' stands for a will and proprium when not made alive, 'a heart of flesh' for a will and proprium when made alive; for 'the heart' is a representative of good in the will, see 2930, 3313, 3635. In David,

O God, You are my God; in the morning I seek You. My soul thirsts for You, my flesh in a dry land longs for You, and I am weary without water. Psalms 63:1.

In the same author,

My soul longs for the courts of Jehovah; my heart and my flesh shout for joy to the living God. Psalms 84:2.

[5] In Job,

I have come to know my Redeemer; He is alive; and at the last He will rise above the dust; and afterwards these things will be encompassed by my skin, and out of my flesh shall I see God, whom I shall see for myself; and my eyes will behold, and no other. Job 19:25-27.

'Being encompassed by skin' stands for the natural, such as a person possesses after death, dealt with in 3539. 'Out of his flesh seeing God' stands for the proprium when made alive, which is why Job says, 'Whom I shall see for myself; and my eyes will behold, and no other'. Since it was well known in the ancient Churches that 'flesh' meant the proprium, and since the Book of Job is a book of the Ancient Church, 3540 (end), he accordingly followed the custom of the day and drew on meaningful signs to speak of these, as of many other matters. Those therefore who conclude from what Job said that their dead body is going to be reassembled from the four winds and is going to rise again do not know the internal sense of the Word. Those who are conversant with that sense know that they will enter the next life in a body, but in a purer one. In that life people have purer bodies, for they behold one another, talk to one another, and are endowed with each of the senses, which though like those in the physical body are now keener. The body which a person carries around on earth is designed for activities on earth and therefore consists of flesh and bones, whereas the body that a spirit carries around in the next life is designed for activities in that life and does not consist of flesh and bones but of such things as correspond to these, see 3726.

[6] That 'flesh' in the contrary sense means the will side of the human proprium which in itself is nothing but evil is clear from the following places: In Isaiah,

Every man will eat the flesh of his own arm. Isaiah 9:20.

In the same prophet,

I will feed your oppressors with their own flesh, and they will be drunk with their blood as with new wine. Isaiah 49:26.

In Jeremiah,

I will feed them with the flesh of their sons and with the flesh of their daughters, and every man will eat the flesh of his companion. Jeremiah 19:9.

In Zechariah,

Those that are left will eat, every one the flesh of another. Zechariah 11:9.

In Moses,

I will chastise you seven times for your sins, and you will eat the flesh of your sons: and the flesh of your daughters will you eat. Leviticus 26:28-29.

The will side of the human proprium, or man's own natural inclinations, is described in this way because it is nothing but evil and consequent falsity, and so hatred against every form of truth or good, that are meant by 'eating the flesh of their own arm', 'the flesh of sons and daughters', and 'the flesh of another'.

[7] In John,

I saw an angel standing in the sun, who called out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds flying in mid-heaven, Come and gather yourselves to the supper of the great God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and those seated on them, and the flesh of all free men and slaves, both small and great. Revelation 19:17-18; Ezekiel 39:17-20.

Anyone may see that the flesh of kings, captains, mighty men, horses and those seated on them, free men and slaves, is not meant by such expressions. 'Flesh' accordingly has another meaning which has not been known up to now. The fact that evils resulting from falsities, and evils producing falsities, are meant - which evils originate on the will side of the human proprium - is evident from each expression used here.

[8] Since falsity which springs from the understanding side of man's proprium is meant by 'blood' in the internal sense, and evil which springs from the will side of his proprium by 'flesh', the Lord speaks of the person who is to be regenerated as follows,

As many as received Him, to them He gave power to be sons of God, to those believing in His name, who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:12-13.

For this reason 'flesh' is used to mean in general all mankind, see 574, 1050 (end). For whether you speak of man or of man's proprium it amounts to the same.

[9] That 'flesh' in the highest sense means the Lord's Divine Human is evident from the verses quoted above, as well as from the following in John,

The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the Only Begotten from the Father. John 1:14.

It is by virtue of this flesh that all other flesh is made alive, that is, by virtue of the Lord's Divine Human, every human being is made alive, through making His love his own, which is meant by 'eating the flesh of the Son of Man', John 6:51-58, and by eating the bread in the Holy Supper - for the bread is His body or flesh, Matthew 26:26-27.
