1 Mutta Herra sanoi Moosekselle: "Katso, minä asetan sinut jumalaksi faraolle, ja veljesi Aaron on oleva sinun profeettasi.

2 Puhu kaikki, mitä minä sinun käsken puhua; ja Aaron, sinun veljesi, puhukoon faraolle, että hän päästää israelilaiset maastansa.

3 Mutta minä paadutan faraon sydämen ja teen monta tunnustekoa ja ihmettä Egyptin maassa.

4 Ja farao ei kuule teitä, mutta minä asetan käteni Egyptiä vastaan ja vien pois joukkoni, kansani, israelilaiset, Egyptin maasta, toimittaen suuret rangaistustuomiot.

5 Ja egyptiläiset tulevat tietämään, että minä olen Herra, kun minä ojennan käteni Egyptin yli ja vien pois israelilaiset heidän keskeltänsä."

6 Ja Mooses ja Aaron tekivät, niinkuin Herra oli heitä käskenyt; niin he tekivät.

7 Mutta Mooses oli kahdeksankymmenen vuoden vanha ja Aaron kahdeksankymmenen kolmen vuoden vanha, kun he puhuivat faraon kanssa.

8 Ja Herra puhui Moosekselle ja Aaronille ja sanoi:

9 "Kun farao puhuu teille ja sanoo: 'Tehkää jokin ihmetyö', niin sano sinä Aaronille: 'Ota sauvasi ja heitä se faraon eteen, niin se muuttuu käärmeeksi'".

10 Niin Mooses ja Aaron menivät faraon tykö ja tekivät, niinkuin Herra oli käskenyt. Aaron heitti sauvansa faraon ja hänen palvelijainsa eteen, ja se muuttui käärmeeksi.

11 Ja faraokin kutsui maansa viisaat ja velhot; ja nämä Egyptin tietäjät tekivät samoin taioillansa:

12 he heittivät kukin sauvansa maahan, ja ne muuttuivat käärmeiksi. Mutta Aaronin sauva nieli heidän sauvansa.

13 Ja faraon sydän paatui, eikä hän kuullut heitä, niinkuin Herra oli sanonutkin.

14 Sitten Herra sanoi Moosekselle: "Faraon sydän on kovettunut, hän kieltäytyy päästämästä kansaa.

15 Mene faraon tykö huomenaamuna, kun hän menee veden luo, ja seisahdu hänen tielleen Niilivirran partaalle. Ja ota käteesi se sauva, joka oli muuttunut käärmeeksi,

16 ja sano hänelle: 'Herra, hebrealaisten Jumala, on lähettänyt minut sinun luoksesi ja käskenyt sanoa: Päästä minun kansani palvelemaan minua erämaassa. Mutta katso, sinä et ole totellut tähän asti.

17 Sentähden Herra sanoo näin: Tästä olet tunteva, että minä olen Herra: katso, minä lyön sauvalla, joka on kädessäni, virran veteen, ja se muuttuu vereksi.

18 Ja kalat virrassa kuolevat, ja virta rupeaa haisemaan, niin että egyptiläisiä inhottaa juoda vettä virrasta.'"

19 Ja Herra sanoi Moosekselle: "Sano Aaronille: 'Ota sauvasi ja ojenna kätesi Egyptin vetten yli, sen jokien, kanavien ja lammikkojen yli ja kaikkien niiden paikkojen yli, joihin on vettä kokoontunut, niin ne muuttuvat vereksi. Ja verta on oleva Egyptin maassa kaikkialla, sekä puuastioissa että kiviastioissa.'"

20 Ja Mooses ja Aaron tekivät, niinkuin Herra oli käskenyt. Hän kohotti sauvan ja löi Niilivirran veteen faraon ja hänen palvelijainsa nähden; ja kaikki vesi, joka virrassa oli, muuttui vereksi.

21 Ja kalat virrassa kuolivat, ja virta haisi, niin että egyptiläiset eivät saattaneet juoda vettä virrasta; ja verta oli kaikkialla Egyptin maassa.

22 Mutta Egyptin tietäjät tekivät samoin taioillansa. Ja faraon sydän paatui, eikä hän kuullut heitä, niinkuin Herra oli sanonutkin.

23 Ja farao kääntyi ja palasi kotiinsa eikä välittänyt tästäkään.

24 Mutta kaikki egyptiläiset kaivoivat Niilivirran ympäriltä vettä juodaksensa; sillä he eivät voineet juoda virran vettä.

25 Ja näin oli kulunut seitsemän päivää siitä, kun Herra oli lyönyt Niilivirtaa.

7985. It says that 'the dwelling of the children of Israel, when they dwelt in Egypt, lasted four hundred and thirty years', and in addition to this that 'at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even on this same day, all the hosts of Jehovah went out of the land of Egypt'. But in actual fact the dwelling of the children of Israel from Jacob's going down into Egypt until the departure of his descendants at this time lasted no more than half that time, no more than 215 years, as is evident from chronological references in Sacred Scripture. For Moses was begotten by Amram, Amram by Kohath, and Kohath by Levi; and Kohath came into Egypt along with Levi his father, Genesis 46:11. Kohath lived 133 years, Exodus 6:18; Amram, who beget Aaron and Moses, lived 137 years, Exodus 6:20 and Moses was eighty years old when he stood before Pharaoh, Exodus 7:7. No mention is made of Kohath's age in years when Amram was born, or of Amram's when Moses was born. But the length of time the people were in Egypt was clearly not 430 years, since the ages of these three do not add up to as much as 430 years, only to 350, as one may see by adding the 133 years of Kohath's life to the 137 years of Amram's, and then these to Moses' 80 years when he stood before Pharaoh. And they are less than that if one adds the years from father's birth to son's. The length of time was 215 years, as chronological references show. But the time from Abraham's going down into Egypt to the departure of the children of Israel was 430 years, as again chronological references show. And from this it now becomes clear that 430 years here is used to mean the whole period of time beginning right back with Abraham, not with Jacob. These years have been marked out and referred to as 'the years of the dwelling of the children of Israel in Egypt' on account of the internal sense. In the internal sense those years mean a state made complete and the duration of vastation undergone by those belonging to the spiritual Church who were held back on the lower earth until the Lord's Coming, when they were delivered, matters regarding which, see 6854, 6914, 7035, 7091, 7828, 7932.

7091. 'Thus said Jehovah, the God of Israel' means that it - the admonition to those opposed to the Church's truths - comes from the Lord's Divine Human. This is clear from the consideration that 'Jehovah, the God of Israel' is used to mean the Lord in respect of the Divine Human, for 'Jehovah' in the Word is the Lord, see 1343, 1736, 2921, 3023, 3075, 5041, 5663, 6281, 6303, 6905. He is called 'the God of Israel' because the Lord's spiritual kingdom is meant by 'Israel', 6426, 6637, and because by His Coming into the world the Lord saved those who belonged to that kingdom or Church, 6854, 6914, 7075. The reason why 'the God of Israel' means the Lord in respect of the Divine Human is that those who belong to that Church envisage everything spiritual or celestial, and the Divine too, in the way they envisage natural things. Therefore if they did not think in a natural way of the Divine as a Person they could not be joined to the Divine through any kind of affection. For if they did not think about the Divine as a Person in a natural way they would have either no ideas at all about the Divine, or else monstrous ones, and so would defile the Divine. So this is why 'the God of Israel' is used to mean the Lord in respect of the Divine Human, in particular of the Divine Natural.

'Israel' and 'Jacob' are used in the highest sense to mean the Lord's Divine Natural, 'Israel' the internal Divine Natural and 'Jacob' the external Divine Natural, see 4570.

Those who belong to the spiritual Church have been and are saved by means of the Lord's Divine Human, 2833, 2834.

The member of the spiritual Church, who is 'Israel', is interior natural, 4286, 4401.

[2] From all this it is now evident why in the Word the Lord is called 'Jehovah, the God of Israel' and 'Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel'. Anyone may see that when the Divine is referred to by these names it is solely because they are suitable for expressing something Holy that is not apparent in the sense of the letter. The fact that the Lord in respect of the Divine Natural is meant by 'the God of Israel' is evident from quite a number of places in the Word, plainly so from the following,

Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel saw the God of Israel, under whose feet there was so to speak a paved work of sapphire stone, like the substance of the sky for clearness. Exodus 24:9-10.

[3] The fact that this was the Lord, and not Jehovah, who is called the Father, is evident from the Lord's words in John,

Nobody has ever seen God. John 1:18.

You have never heard His voice nor seen His shape. John 5:37.

In Isaiah,

I will give you the treasures of darkness, and the secret wealth of concealed places, that you may know that it is I, Jehovah, who called you by your name, the God of Israel. Isaiah 45:3.

In Ezekiel,

Over the heads of the cherubim, in appearance like a sapphire stone, there was the likeness of a throne, and over the likeness of a throne there was a likeness, as the appearance of a man (homo) upon it above. And with him there was the appearance of fire and a rainbow, and of brightness round about. Ezekiel 1:26-28.

These things are called the glory of Jehovah and of the God of Israel in the same prophet, in Ezekiel 1:28; 8:4; 9:3; 10:19-20, and also where the New Temple is the subject, in Ezekiel 43:2; 44:2, [4]. ['The God of Israel' appears] in many other places besides these, such as Isaiah 17:6; 21:10, 17; 24:15; 41:17; Psalms 41:13; 59:5; 68:8, 35; 69:6; 72:18; and elsewhere. The name THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL is also used in Isaiah 1:4; 5:19, 24; 10:20; 17:7; 30:11-12, 15; 49:7; 60:9, 14; Ezekiel 39:7.

[4] The fact that the Lord in respect of His Divine Human is meant by 'the God of Israel' and 'the Holy One of Israel' is also clear from His being called Redeemer, Saviour, and Maker: REDEEMER in Isaiah 47:4 (Jehovah Zebaoth is our Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel is His name), and also in Isaiah 41:14; 43:14; 48:17; 54:5; SAVIOUR in Isaiah 43:3 and MAKER in Isaiah 45:11. From this it is also evident that no one other than the Lord is meant in the Old Testament Word by Jehovah, since He is called JEHOVAH GOD and THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, REDEEMER, SAVIOUR, and MAKER. He is called Jehovah the Redeemer and Saviour in Isaiah,

That all flesh may know that I Jehovah am your Saviour, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. Isaiah 49:26.

In the same prophet,

That you may know that I Jehovah am your Saviour, and your Redeemer, the Powerful One of Jacob. 1 Isaiah 60:16.

Also in Isaiah 43:14; 44:6, 24; 54:8; 63:16; Psalms 19:14.

[5] The fact that the Lord saved Israel, that is, those who belonged to the spiritual Church, may be seen in Isaiah,

I will tell of the mercies of Jehovah, the praises of Jehovah, according to all that Jehovah has rewarded us with - great [as He is] in goodness to the house of Israel. He said, Surely they are My people, children who do not lie. And therefore He became their Saviour. In all their affliction He suffered affliction, and the angel of His face delivered them; because of His love and His compassion He redeemed them, and took them and carried them all the days of eternity. Isaiah 63:7-9.

1. The Latin means Israel but the Hebrew means Jacob.
