1 Und Jehova redete zu Mose: Gehe ziehe hinauf von hinnen, du und das Volk, das du aus dem Lande Ägypten heraufgeführt hast, in das Land, das ich Abraham, Isaak und Jakob zugeschworen habe, indem ich sprach: Deinem Samen werde ich es geben! -

2 Und ich werde einen Engel vor dir hersenden und vertreiben die Kanaaniter, die Amoriter und die Hethiter und die Perisiter, die Hewiter und die Jebusiter, -

3 in ein Land, das von Milch und Honig fließt; denn ich werde nicht in deiner Mitte hinaufziehen, denn du bist ein hartnäckiges Volk, daß ich dich nicht vernichte auf dem Wege.

4 Und als das Volk dieses böse Wort hörte, da trauerten sie, und keiner legte seinen Schmuck an.

5 Denn Jehova hatte zu Mose gesagt: Sprich zu den Kindern Israel: Ihr seid ein hartnäckiges Volk; zöge ich nur einen Augenblick in deiner Mitte hinauf, so würde ich dich vernichten. Und nun, lege deinen Schmuck von dir, und ich werde wissen, was ich dir tun will.

6 Und die Kinder Israel rissen sich ihren Schmuck ab an dem Berge Horeb.

7 Und Mose nahm das Zelt und schlug es sich auf außerhalb des Lagers, fern vom Lager, und nannte es: Zelt der Zusammenkunft. Und es geschah, ein jeder, der Jehova suchte, ging hinaus zu dem Zelte der Zusammenkunft, das außerhalb des Lagers war.

8 Und es geschah, wenn Mose zu dem Zelte hinausging, so erhob sich das ganze Volk, und sie standen, ein jeder am Eingang seines Zeltes; und sie schauten Mose nach, bis er in das Zelt trat.

9 Und es geschah, wenn Mose in das Zelt trat, so stieg die Wolkensäule hernieder und stand am Eingang des Zeltes; und Jehova redete mit Mose.

10 Und das ganze Volk sah die Wolkensäule am Eingang des Zeltes stehen; und das ganze Volk erhob sich, und sie warfen sich nieder, ein jeder am Eingang seines Zeltes.

11 Und Jehova redete mit Mose von Angesicht zu Angesicht, wie ein Mann mit seinem Freunde redet; und er kehrte zum Lager zurück. Sein Diener aber, Josua, der Sohn Nuns, ein Jüngling, wich nicht aus dem Innern des Zeltes.

12 Und Mose sprach zu Jehova: Siehe, du sprichst zu mir: Führe dieses Volk hinauf, aber du hast mich nicht wissen lassen, wen du mit mir senden willst. Und du hast doch gesagt: Ich kenne dich mit Namen, und du hast auch Gnade gefunden in meinen Augen.

13 Und nun, wenn ich denn Gnade gefunden habe in deinen Augen, so laß mich doch deinen Weg wissen, daß ich dich erkenne, damit ich Gnade finde in deinen Augen; und sieh, daß diese Nation dein Volk ist!

14 Und er sprach: Mein Angesicht wird mitgehen, und ich werde dir Ruhe geben.

15 Und er sprach zu ihm: Wenn dein Angesicht nicht mitgeht, so führe uns nicht hinauf von hinnen.

16 Und woran soll es denn erkannt werden, daß ich Gnade gefunden habe in deinen Augen, ich und dein Volk? Nicht daran, daß du mit uns gehst und wir ausgesondert werden, ich und dein Volk, aus jedem Volke, das auf dem Erdboden ist?

17 Und Jehova sprach zu Mose: Auch dieses, was du gesagt hast, werde ich tun; denn du hast Gnade gefunden in meinen Augen, und ich kenne dich mit Namen.

18 Und er sprach: Laß mich doch deine Herrlichkeit sehen!

19 Und Jehova sprach: Ich werde alle meine Güte vor deinem Angesicht vorübergehen lassen und werde den Namen Jehovas vor dir ausrufen; und ich werde begnadigen, wen ich begnadigen werde, und werde mich erbarmen, wessen ich mich erbarmen werde.

20 Und er sprach: Du vermagst nicht mein Angesicht zu sehen, denn nicht kann ein Mensch mich sehen und leben.

21 Und Jehova sprach: Siehe, es ist ein Ort bei mir, da sollst du auf dem Felsen stehen.

22 Und es wird geschehen, wenn meine Herrlichkeit vorübergeht, so werde ich dich in die Felsenkluft stellen und meine Hand über dich decken, bis ich vorübergegangen bin.

23 Und ich werde meine Hand hinwegtun, und du wirst mich von hinten sehen; aber mein Angesicht soll nicht gesehen werden.

10655. 'You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread' means worship of the Lord and thanksgiving on account of deliverance from evil and from the falsities of evil. This is clear from the meaning of 'the feast' as worship and thanksgiving, dealt with in 7093, 9286, 9287; and from the meaning of 'unleavened bread' as things which have been purified from evil and from the falsities of evil, dealt with in 9992. Consequently 'the feast of unleavened bread' means worship and thanksgiving on account of deliverance from evil and from the falsities of evil. The fact that this was the meaning of that feast, see 9286-9292.

[2] As regards this feast, it should be recognized that the glorification of the Lord's Human, and so the remembrance of this and thanksgiving on account of it, is its proper meaning. The glorification of His Human and the subduing of the hells by the Lord have given mankind deliverance from evils and salvation. For the Lord glorified His Human by means of conflicts against the hells and the victories He always gained over them in those conflicts, the final conflict and victory being that on the Cross, when therefore He fully glorified Himself, as is also His own teaching in John,

After Judas went out Jesus said, Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him. If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him at once. John 13:31-32.

In the same gospel,

Jesus lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You. Now, Father, glorify Me in Your Own Self with the glory which I had with You before the world was. John 17:1, 5.

And in Luke,

Ought not the Christ to have suffered this and to enter into His glory? Luke 24:26.

'Glorifying the Son of Man' means the making Divine of the Human. All these things declared by the Lord had regard, it is self-evident, to His passion on the Cross.

[3] Through that final conflict, which was the passion of the Cross, He completely subdued the hells. This too is the Lord's teaching in John,

Jesus said, The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. Now My soul is troubled. And He said, Father, glorify Your name. And a voice came from heaven, [saying,] I have both glorified it and will glorify it again. And Jesus said, Now is the judgement of this world, now will the prince of this world be cast outdoors. I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to Myself. This He said, indicating the kind of death He was about to die. John 12:23, 27-28, 31-33.

Hell as a whole is what the term 'the prince of this world' or the devil refers to. From these verses it is evident that by the passion of the Cross the Lord not only overcame and subdued the hells but also completely glorified His Human. From this comes salvation to the human race, for which reason also the Lord came into the world, as He also teaches in John 12:27. It was for the sake of the remembrance of this that the feast of unleavened bread or the Passover was primarily established; and it was why He rose again at that feast.

[4] The reason why on account of deliverance from evil and from the falsities of evil is also meant is that all deliverance from evil comes about through the subduing of the hells by the Lord and through the glorification of His Human; without these there is no deliverance. For a person is ruled by the Lord by means of spirits from hell and angels from heaven. Unless therefore the hells had been altogether subdued, and unless the Lord's Human had been altogether united to the Divine Himself, and had thereby also been made Divine, no one could have possibly been delivered from hell and been saved; for the hells would have always prevailed, because the human being has become such that left to himself his thought consists of nothing other than that which belongs to hell. From this it is evident why it is that the same feast means worship and thanksgiving on account of deliverance from evil and from the falsities of evil.

9286. 'Three times you shall keep a feast to Me in the year' means enduring worship of the Lord and thanksgiving on account of deliverance from damnation. This is clear from the meaning of 'keeping a feast' or 'holding a feast' as worshipping the Lord with gladness of mind on account of deliverance from damnation, dealt with in 7093; and from the meaning of 'three times in the year' as a state complete right to its end, for 'three' means complete from the beginning to the end, 2788, 4495, 7715, 9198, and 'year' a whole period, 2906, 7839, 8070. At this point therefore complete and whole deliverance is meant; for 'the feast of unleavened bread' means purification from falsities, 'the feast of harvest' means the planting of truth in good, and 'the feast of ingathering' means the implanting of good from there. Thus complete deliverance from damnation is meant by these feasts; for when a person has been purified from falsities, and after this has been brought by means of truths into good, and is at length governed by good, he is in heaven with the Lord and has accordingly undergone complete deliverance.

[2] The consecutive stages of deliverance from damnation are like the consecutive stages of regeneration; for regeneration is deliverance by the Lord from hell and being led by Him into heaven. For a person who is being regenerated is first purified from falsities, after that the truths of faith he knows are planted in the good of charity, and finally that good itself is implanted in him. When all this has been done the person has been regenerated and he is then in heaven with the Lord. Therefore the three feasts in the year also meant worship of the Lord and thanksgiving on account of regeneration. Because these feasts were established on account of the everlasting remembrance of those things, the worship and thanksgiving are called enduring; for the most important things in worship should endure forever. The things which should endure forever are those which have been inscribed not only on the memory but also on the actual life that is led. When this is so they are said to reign universally with a person, see 5949, 6159, 6571, 8853-8858, 8865.
