1 Και ειπε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην, Εισελθε προς τον Φαραω· διοτι εγω εσκληρυνα την καρδιαν αυτου και την καρδιαν των θεραποντων αυτου, δια να δειξω τα σημεια μου ταυτα εν μεσω αυτων·

2 και δια να διηγησαι εις τα ωτα του υιου σου και εις τον υιον του υιου σου, τα οσα επραξα εις τους Αιγυπτιους και τα σημεια μου οσα εκαμα εν μεσω αυτων, και να γνωρισητε οτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος.

3 Εισηλθον δε ο Μωυσης και ο Ααρων προς τον Φαραω και ειπον προς αυτον, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος των Εβραιων· Εως ποτε αρνεισαι να ταπεινωθης εμπροσθεν μου; εξαποστειλον τον λαον μου δια να με λατρευση·

4 διοτι εαν δεν θελης να εξαποστειλης τον λαον μου, ιδου, αυριον θελω φερει ακριδα επι τα ορια σου·

5 και θελει σκεπασει το προσωπον της γης, ωστε να μη δυναται τις να ιδη την γην· και θελει καταφαγει το επιλοιπον το διασωθεν, οσον αφηκεν εις εσας η χαλαζα, και θελει καταφαγει παντα τα δενδρα τα φυομενα εις εσας εκ των αγρων·

6 και θελουσι γεμισθη αι οικιαι σου και αι οικιαι παντων των θεραποντων σου και αι οικιαι παντων των Αιγυπτιων· το οποιον δεν ειδον οι πατερες σου ουτε οι πατερες των πατερων σου, αφ' ης ημερας υπηρξαν επι της γης μεχρι της σημερον. Επειτα στραφεις εξηλθεν απο του Φαραω.

7 Και ειπον οι θεραποντες του Φαραω προς αυτον, Εως ποτε ουτος θελει εισθαι προσκομμα εις ημας; εξαποστειλον τους ανθρωπους, δια να λατρευσωσι Κυριον τον Θεον αυτων· ακομη δεν εξευρεις οτι ηφανισθη η Αιγυπτος;

8 Τοτε εφεραν παλιν τον Μωυσην και τον Ααρων προς τον Φαραω· και ειπε προς αυτους, Υπαγετε, λατρευσατε τον Κυριον τον Θεον σας· αλλα ποιοι και ποιοι θελουσιν υπαγει;

9 Και ειπεν ο Μωυσης· μετα των νεων ημων και μετα των γεροντων ημων θελομεν υπαγει, μετα των υιων ημων και μετα των θυγατερων ημων, μετα των προβατων ημων και μετα των βοων ημων θελομεν υπαγει διοτι εχομεν εορτην εις τον Κυριον.

10 Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους, Ουτως ας ηναι ο Κυριος μεθ' υμων, καθως εγω θελω σας εξαποστειλει μετα των τεκνων σας· ιδετε· διοτι κακον προκειται εμπροσθεν σας·

11 ουχι ουτως, οι ανδρες υπαγετε τωρα, και λατρευσατε τον Κυριον, διοτι τουτο ζητειτε. Και εξεβαλεν αυτους ο Φαραω απ' εμπροσθεν αυτου.

12 Ειπε δε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην, Εκτεινον την χειρα σου επι την γην της Αιγυπτου δια την ακριδα, δια να αναβη επι την γην της Αιγυπτου και να καταφαγη παντα τον χορτον της γης, παν ο, τι η χαλαζα αφηκε.

13 Και εξετεινεν ο Μωυσης την ραβδον αυτου επι την γην της Αιγυπτον, και ο Κυριος επεφερεν επι την γην ολην την ημεραν εκεινην και ολην την νυκτα ανατολικον ανεμον· και το πρωι ο ανεμος ο ανατολικος εφερε την ακριδα.

14 Και ανεβη η ακρις εφ' ολην την γην της Αιγυπτου και εκαθισεν επι παντα τα ορια της Αιγυπτου, πολλη σφοδρα· προτερον αυτης δεν υπηρξε τοιαυτη ακρις, ουδε θελει υπαρξει τοιαυτη μετ' αυτην·

15 και εκαλυψε το προσωπον ολης της γης και εσκοτισθη η γη· και κατεφαγε παντα τον χορτον της γης και παντας τους καρπους των δενδρων, οσους η χαλαζα αφηκε, και δεν εμεινεν ουδεν χλωρον ουτε εις τα δενδρα ουτε εις τα χορτα του αγρου καθ' ολην την γην της Αιγυπτου.

16 Τοτε εσπευσεν ο Φαραω να καλεση τον Μωυσην και τον Ααρων και ειπεν, Ημαρτησα εις Κυριον τον Θεον σας και εις εσας·

17 πλην τωρα συγχωρησατε μοι, παρακαλω, το αμαρτημα μου, μονον ταυτην την φοραν, και δεηθητε Κυριου του Θεου υμων δια να σηκωση απ' εμου τον θανατον τουτον μονον.

18 Και εξηλθεν ο Μωυσης απο του Φαραω και εδεηθη του Κυριου.

19 Και μετεφερεν ο Κυριος σφοδροτατον δυτικον ανεμον, οστις εσηκωσε την ακριδα και ερριψεν αυτην εις την Ερυθραν θαλασσαν· δεν εμεινεν ουδεμια ακρις επι παντα τα ορια της Αιγυπτου.

20 Πλην ο Κυριος εσκληρυνε την καρδιαν του Φαραω, και δεν εξαπεστειλε τους υιους Ισραηλ.

21 Και ειπε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην, Εκτεινον την χειρα σου προς τον ουρανον και θελει γεινει σκοτος επι την γην της Αιγυπτου και σκοτος ψηλαφητον.

22 Και εξετεινεν ο Μωυσης την χειρα αυτου προς τον ουρανον, και εγεινε σκοτος πυκνον εφ' ολην την γην της Αιγυπτου τρεις ημερας.

23 Δεν εβλεπεν ο εις τον αλλον· ουδε εσηκωθη τις απο του τοπου αυτου τρεις ημερας· εις παντας δε τους υιους Ισραηλ ητο φως εν ταις κατοικιαις αυτων.

24 Τοτε εκαλεσεν ο Φαραω τον Μωυσην και ειπεν, Υπαγετε, λατρευσατε τον Κυριον· μονον τα προβατα σας και οι βοες σας ας μεινωσι και τα τεκνα σας ας ελθωσι μεθ' υμων.

25 Και ειπεν ο Μωυσης, Αλλα και θυσιας και ολοκαυτωματα πρεπει συ να μας δωσης, δια να θυσιασωμεν εις Κυριον τον Θεον ημων·

26 τα κτηνη ημων ομοιως θελουσιν υπαγει μεθ' ημων· δεν θελει μεινει οπισω ουδε ονυχιον· διοτι εκ τουτων πρεπει να λαβωμεν, δια να λατρευσωμεν Κυριον τον Θεον ημων· και ημεις δεν εξευρομεν με τι εχομεν να λατρευσωμεν τον Κυριον, εωσου να φθασωμεν εκει.

27 Αλλ' ο Κυριος εσκληρυνε την καρδιαν του Φαραω, και δεν ηθελησε να εξαποστειλη αυτους.

28 Και ειπεν ο Φαραω προς αυτον, Φυγε απ' εμου· προσεχε εις σεαυτον, να μη ιδης πλεον το προσωπον μου· διοτι εις οποιαν ημεραν ιδης το προσωπον μου, θελεις αποθανει.

29 Και ειπεν ο Μωυσης, Καθως ειπας, δεν θελω ιδει πλεον το προσωπον σου.

7693. 'In the whole land of Egypt' means on every side in the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'the land of Egypt' as the natural mind, and so the natural, dealt with in 7674. Since 'the locust', which has been the subject here, means falsity in the outermost parts, that is, in the sensory level of the human mind, let me say what the sensory level is in order that people may thereby know what falsity in the outermost parts of the mind is. A sensory-minded person, or a person whose thought and actions are reduced to the sensory level, is one who does not believe anything unless it is palpable to his outward senses, and who is led solely by bodily appetites, pleasure-seeking desires, and covetous passions, and not by rational ways of thinking. Ideas that lend support to urges such as these are what he believes to be rational ways of thinking. Being like this a sensory-minded person denies the existence of everything of an internal nature, until at length he will not even allow it to be mentioned. Consequently he refuses in his heart to believe in anything whatever of heaven. He does not have any belief in life after death, because he considers life to reside solely in the body. He therefore also supposes that when he dies it will be the same for him as for an animal. That person thinks so to speak on the surface, that is, on the lowest or outermost levels, and he is totally unaware of the existence of interior thought that is dependent on the perception of what is true and good. The reason why he is not aware of this, nor even of the existence of an internal man, is that the inner parts of his mind look down towards things of the world, the body, and the earth, and make one with them. They have therefore been diverted from looking upwards or towards heaven, for they are turned in the opposite direction. Looking upwards or towards heaven does not consist in thinking about the things of heaven but in having them as one's end in view, that is, loving them above all else. For in whatever direction love turns, the inner parts of a person's mind turn, and so too his thought. All this goes to show the nature of the sensory level of a person's mind, or the natural in its outermost parts, for a person who thinks on the sensory level is called sensory-minded.

Exodus第10章

1 Yahweh said to Moses, "Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs in the midst of them,

2 and that you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your son's son, what things I have done to Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that you may know that I am Yahweh."

3 Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and said to him, "This is what Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says: 'How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me.

4 Or else, if you refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country,

5 and they shall cover the surface of the earth, so that one won't be able to see the earth. They shall eat the residue of that which has escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which grows for you out of the field.

6 Your houses shall be filled, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; as neither your fathers nor your fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.'" He turned, and went out from Pharaoh.

7 Pharaoh's servants said to him, "How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve Yahweh, their God. Don't you yet know that Egypt is destroyed?"

8 Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh, and he said to them, "Go, serve Yahweh your God; but who are those who will Go?"

9 Moses said, "We will go with our young and with our old; with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast to Yahweh."

10 He said to them, "Yahweh be with you if I will let you go with your little ones! See, evil is clearly before your faces.

11 Not so! Go now you who are men, and serve Yahweh; for that is what you desire!" They were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.

12 Yahweh said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up on the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail has left."

13 Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and Yahweh brought an east wind on the land all that day, and all the night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.

14 The locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt. They were very grievous. Before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.

15 For they covered the surface of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened, and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. There remained nothing green, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt.

16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste, and he said, "I have sinned against Yahweh your God, and against you.

17 Now therefore please forgive my sin again, and pray to Yahweh your God, that he may also take away from me this death."

18 He went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to Yahweh.

19 Yahweh turned an exceeding strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea. There remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt.

20 But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he didn't let the children of Israel go.

21 Yahweh said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt."

22 Moses stretched forth his hand toward the sky, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days.

23 They didn't see one another, neither did anyone rise from his place for three days; but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

24 Pharaoh called to Moses, and said, "Go, serve Yahweh. Only let your flocks and your herds stay behind. Let your little ones also Go with you."

25 Moses said, "You must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh our God.

26 Our livestock also shall go with us. Not a hoof shall be left behind, for of it we must take to serve Yahweh our God; and we don't know with what we must serve Yahweh, until we come there."

27 But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he wouldn't let them go.

28 Pharaoh said to him, "Get away from me! Be careful to see my face no more; for in the day you see my face you shall die!"

29 Moses said, "You have spoken well. I will see your face again no more."
