2 Mose第5章

学习

   

1 Danach gingen Mose und Aaron hinein und sprachen zu Pharao: So sagt der HERR, der Gott Israels: Laß mein Volk ziehen, daß mir's ein Fest halte in der Wüste.

2 Pharao antwortete: Wer ist der HERR, des Stimme ich hören müsse und Israel ziehen lassen? Ich weiß nicht von dem HERRN, will auch Israel nicht lassen ziehen.

3 Sie sprachen: Der Ebräer Gott hat uns gerufen; so laß uns nun hinziehen drei Tagereisen in die Wüste und dem HERRN, unserm Gott, opfern, daß uns nicht widerfahre Pestilenz oder Schwert.

4 Da sprach der König in Ägypten zu ihnen: Du, Mose und Aaron, warum wollt ihr das Volk von seiner Arbeit frei machen? Gehet hin an eure Dienste!

5 Weiter sprach Pharao: Siehe, des Volks ist schon zu viel im Lande, und ihr wollt sie noch feiern heißen von ihrem Dienst.

6 Darum befahl Pharao desselben Tages den Vögten des Volks und ihren Amtleuten und sprach:

7 Ihr sollt dem Volk nicht mehr Stroh sammeln und geben, daß sie Ziegel brennen, wie bis anher; lasset sie selbst hingehen und Stroh zusammenlesen;

8 und die Zahl der Ziegel, die sie bisher gemacht haben, sollt ihr ihnen gleichwohl auflegen und nichts mindern; denn sie gehen müßig, darum schreien sie und sprechen: Wir wollen hinziehen und unserm Gott opfern.

9 Man drücke die Leute mit Arbeit, daß sie zu schaffen haben und sich nicht kehren an falsche Rede!

10 Da gingen die Vögte des Volks und ihre Amtleute aus und sprachen zum Volk: So spricht Pharao: Man wird euch kein Stroh geben.

11 Gehet ihr selbst hin und sammelt euch Stroh, wo ihr's findet; aber von eurer Arbeit soll nichts gemindert werden.

12 Da zerstreute sich das Volk ins ganze Land Ägypten, daß es Stoppeln sammelte, damit sie Stroh hätten.

13 Und die Vögte trieben sie und sprachen: Erfüllet euer Tagwerk, gleich als da ihr Stroh hattet!

14 Und die Amtleute der Kinder Israel, welche die Vögte Pharaos über sie gesetzet hatten, wurden geschlagen, und ward zu ihnen gesagt: Warum habt ihr weder heute noch gestern euer gesetzt Tagwerk getan, wie vorhin?

15 Da gingen hinein die Amtleute der Kinder Israel und schrieen zu Pharao: Warum willst du mit deinen Knechten also fahren?

16 Man gibt deinen Knechten kein Stroh, und sollen die Ziegel machen, die uns bestimmt sind; und siehe, deine Knechte werden geschlagen, und dein Volk muß Sünder sein.

17 Pharao sprach: Ihr seid müßig, müßig seid ihr; darum sprechet ihr: Wir wollen hinziehen und dem HERRN opfern.

18 So gehet nun hin und frönet! Stroh soll man euch nicht geben, aber die Anzahl der Ziegel sollt ihr reichen.

19 Da sahen die Amtleute der Kinder Israel, daß es ärger ward, weil man sagte: Ihr sollt nichts mindern von dem Tagwerk an den Ziegeln.

20 Und da sie von Pharao gingen, begegneten sie Mose und Aaron und traten gegen sie

21 und sprachen zu ihnen: Der HERR sehe auf euch und richte es, daß ihr unsern Geruch habt stinken gemacht vor Pharao und seinen Knechten und habt ihnen das Schwert in ihre Hände gegeben, uns zu töten.

22 Mose aber kam wieder zu dem HERRN und sprach: HERR, warum tust du so übel an diesem Volk? Warum hast du mich hergesandt?

23 Denn seit dem, daß ich hinein bin gegangen zu Pharao, mit ihm zu reden in deinem Namen, hat er das Volk noch härter geplagt; und du hast dein Volk nicht errettet.

Arcana Coelestia#2179

2179. 'Abraham ran to the herd' means natural good. This is clear from the meaning of 'oxen' and 'young bulls' which are members of 'the herd', dealt with in the next paragraph. That beasts which were members of the herd and those which were members of the flock mean such things as reside with man becomes clear from what has been shown in Volume One, in 45, 46, 142, 143, 246, 714, 715, 719, 776, in addition to which, see what has been stated in 1823 about the beasts used in sacrifices. It may come as a surprise to everyone that the creatures mentioned in the Word, and also those offered in the sacrifices, meant goods and truths, or what amount to the same, celestial and spiritual things; but let the origin of this surprising fact be stated briefly.

[2] In the world of spirits various representatives manifest themselves. On many occasions animals too manifest themselves before the eyes of spirits, such as horses wearing varying decorative trappings, oxen, sheep, lambs, and different kinds of other animals; and sometimes animals such as have never been seen on earth but are purely representative. Such animals seen also by the prophets and mentioned in the Word had the same origin. Animals which appear in that world are representative of affections for good and truth, and also of affections for evil and falsity. Good spirits have full knowledge of what those animals mean, and also when they see them, they gather what it is that angels are discussing with one another, for when the conversation of those angels passes down into the world of spirits it sometimes manifests itself in this manner. For example, when horses appear, the spirits know that the angels are talking about matters of the understanding; when oxen and young bulls appear, that they are talking about natural goods; when sheep appear, about rational goods and about integrity; when lambs appear, about still more interior goods and about innocence; and so on.

[3] Because the members of the Most Ancient Church had communication with spirits and angels, constantly having visions and also dreams such as the prophets had, they consequently formed a concept of what any beast meant the moment they saw it. This was how representatives and meaningful signs originated. These remained in existence for a long time after those most ancient times, and at length were so venerated because of their antiquity that writers employed mere representatives. Indeed books that were not written in that style were not very highly regarded, nor if written within the Church considered to be holy. For the same and also other hidden reasons, which will in the Lord's Divine mercy be given elsewhere, the books of the Word too were written in that style.

Numbers第15章

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you have come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you,

3 and will make an offering by fire to Yahweh, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a freewill offering, or in your set feasts, to make a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, of the herd, or of the flock;

4 then he who offers his offering shall offer to Yahweh a meal offering of a tenth part [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin of oil:

5 and wine for the drink offering, the fourth part of a hin, you shall prepare with the burnt offering, or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.

6 "'Or for a ram, you shall prepare for a meal offering two tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with the third part of a hin of oil:

7 and for the drink offering you shall offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

8 When you prepare a bull for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace offerings to Yahweh;

9 then shall he offer with the bull a meal offering of three tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil:

10 and you shall offer for the drink offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

11 Thus shall it be done for each bull, or for each ram, or for each of the male lambs, or of the young goats.

12 According to the number that you shall prepare, so you shall do to everyone according to their number.

13 "'All who are native-born shall do these things in this way, in offering an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

14 If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, or whoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh; as you do, so he shall do.

15 For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner [with you], a statute forever throughout your generations: as you are, so shall the foreigner be before Yahweh.

16 One law and One ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner with you.'"

17 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

18 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you come into the land where I bring you,

19 then it shall be that when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a wave offering to Yahweh.

20 Of the first of your dough you shall offer up a cake for a wave offering: as the wave offering of the threshing floor, so you shall heave it.

21 Of the first of your dough you shall give to Yahweh a wave offering throughout your generations.

22 "'When you shall err, and not observe all these commandments, which Yahweh has spoken to Moses,

23 even all that Yahweh has commanded you by Moses, from the day that Yahweh gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations;

24 then it shall be, if it be done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, with the meal offering of it, and the drink offering of it, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering.

25 The priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire to Yahweh, and their sin offering before Yahweh, for their error:

26 and all the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them; for in respect of all the people it was done unwittingly.

27 "'If one person sins unwittingly, then he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin offering.

28 The priest shall make atonement for the soul who errs, when he sins unwittingly, before Yahweh, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven.

29 You shall have one law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is native-born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them.

30 "'But the soul who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, the same blasphemes Yahweh; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

31 Because he has despised the word of Yahweh, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be on him.'"

32 While the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day.

33 Those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation.

34 They put him in custody, because it had not been declared what should be done to him.

35 Yahweh said to Moses, "The man shall surely be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside of the camp."

36 All the congregation brought him outside of the camp, and stoned him to death with stones; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

37 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

38 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them that they should make themselves fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put on the fringe of each border a cord of blue:

39 and it shall be to you for a fringe, that you may look on it, and remember all the commandments of Yahweh, and do them; and that you not follow after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you use to play the prostitute;

40 that you may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy to your God.

41 I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Yahweh your God."
