1 Ειπε δε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην, Ετι μιαν πληγην θελω φερει επι τον Φαραω και επι την Αιγυπτον· μετα ταυτα θελει σας εξαποστειλει εντευθεν· εξαποστελλων υμας θελει βεβαιως και διωξει υμας ολοκληρως εντευθεν·

2 λαλησον τωρα εις τα ωτα του λαου, και ας ζητηση πας ανηρ παρα του γειτονος αυτου, και πασα γυνη παρα της γειτονος αυτης, σκευη αργυρα, και σκευη χρυσα.

3 Και εδωκεν ο Κυριος χαριν εις τον λαον ενωπιον των Αιγυπτιων· ετι δε ο ανθρωπος ο Μωυσης ητο μεγας σφοδρα εν τη γη της Αιγυπτου εμπροσθεν των θεραποντων του Φαραω και εμπροσθεν του λαου.

4 Και ειπεν ο Μωυσης, Ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος· Περι το μεσονυκτιον εγω θελω εξελθει εις το μεσον της Αιγυπτου·

5 και παν πρωτοτοκον εν τη γη της Αιγυπτου θελει αποθανει, απο του πρωτοτοκου του Φαραω, οστις καθηται επι του θρονου αυτου, εως του πρωτοτοκου της δουλης, ητις δουλευει εν τω μυλω, και παν πρωτοτοκον των κτηνων·

6 και θελει εισθαι καθ' ολην την γην της Αιγυπτου κραυγη μεγαλη, οποια ποτε δεν εγεινεν, ουδε μετα ταυτα θελει γεινει τοιαυτη·

7 επι παντας ομως τους υιους Ισραηλ δεν θελει κινησει σκυλος την γλωσσαν αυτου, απο ανθρωπου εως κτηνους· δια να γνωρισητε οτι ο Κυριος εκαμε διακρισιν μεταξυ των Αιγυπτιων και του Ισραηλ·

8 και παντες ουτοι οι δουλοι σου θελουσι καταβη προς εμε και θελουσι προσπεσει εμπροσθεν μου λεγοντες, Εξελθε συ και πας ο λαος ο ακολουθων σε· και μετα ταυτα θελω εξελθει. Και εξηλθεν ο Μωυσης απο του Φαραω μετα θυμου μεγαλου.

9 Και ειπε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην, Δεν θελει σας εισακουσει ο Φαραω, δια να πληθυνθωσι τα θαυμασια μου εν τη γη της Αιγυπτου.

10 Ο Μωυσης δε και ο Ααρων εκαμον παντα τα θαυμασια ταυτα ενωπιον του Φαραω· ο δε Κυριος εσκληρυνε την καρδιαν του Φαραω, και δεν εξαπεστειλε τους υιους Ισραηλ εκ της γης αυτου.

7796. 'And Moses and Aaron performed all these wonders before Pharaoh' means that these stages of vastation, and the consequent corroborations that they are ruled by evil, were brought about by the truth emanating from God. This is clear from the representation of 'Moses and Aaron' as God's truth, 'Moses' truth that emanates directly from God, and 'Aaron' that which does so indirectly, dealt with in 7010, 7089, 7382; and from the meaning of 'the wonders' performed in Egypt or belonging to the Church who have led an evil life. The fact that those things are depicted by the wonders of Egypt may be recognized from the meaning of each wonder. And for the fact that they also depict corroborations that those people do not have faith but are ruled by evil, see immediately above in 7795. It says that 'Moses and Aaron performed these wonders', when in fact they were not Performed by them but by God. But what happened has been stated in that way because God's truth is represented by 'Moses and Aaron', and the wonders were performed by God through the truth emanating from Himself, since all that God Himself performs is performed through the truth emanating from Him. God Himself is the Being (Esse) of all things, but the truth emanating from Him is the Coming-into-Being (Existere) of all things, which rises out of His Being. Good itself, which is God's Being (Esse), brings forth all things by means of its Truth. It is said that the stages of vastation were brought about by the truth emanating from God; but it should be understood that Divine Truth is not the cause of them since God subjects no one to vastation. Rather, an evil person subjects himself to it through obstinate opposition to God's truth by eliminating, rejecting, or perverting it, and through turning God's goodness, which flows in unceasingly, into evil. This then is what subjects him to vastation; and from this it is evident where the cause of it lies, not in the inflow of goodness and truth from God - for unless they inflow life is non-existent - but in their conversion to evil and falsity, committed by the person who is ruled by evil.
