1 Υπηγε δε ανθρωπος τις εκ του οικου Λευι, και ελαβεν εις γυναικα μιαν εκ των θυγατερων Λευι.

2 Και συνελαβεν η γυνη και εγεννησεν υιον· ιδουσα δε αυτον οτι ητο ευμορφος, εκρυψεν αυτον τρεις μηνας.

3 Μη δυναμενη δε να κρυπτη αυτον πλεον, ελαβε δι' αυτον κιβωτιον σπαρτινον και κατεχρισεν αυτο με ασφαλτον και πισσαν και ενεβαλε το παιδιον εις αυτο και εθεσεν εις το ελωδες μερος παρα το χειλος του ποταμου.

4 Η δε αδελφη αυτου παρεμονευε μακροθεν, δια να ιδη το αποβησομενον εις αυτο.

5 Και κατεβη η θυγατηρ του Φαραω δια να λουσθη εις τον ποταμον, αι δε θεραπαιναι αυτης περιεπατουν επι την οχθην του ποταμου· και οτε ειδε το κιβωτιον εις το ελωδες μερος, εστειλε την παιδισκην αυτης και ελαβεν αυτο·

6 και ανοιξασα βλεπει το παιδιον και ιδου, το νηπιον εκλαιε· και ελυπηθη αυτο, λεγουσα, Εκ των παιδιων των Εβραιων ειναι τουτο.

7 Τοτε ειπεν η αδελφη αυτου προς την θυγατερα του Φαραω, Θελεις να υπαγω να καλεσω εις σε γυναικα θηλαζουσαν εκ των Εβραιων, δια να σοι θηλαση το παιδιον;

8 Και ειπε προς αυτην η θυγατηρ του Φαραω, Υπαγε. Και υπηγε το κορασιον και εκαλεσε την μητερα του παιδιου.

9 Και ειπε προς αυτην η θυγατηρ του Φαραω, Λαβε το παιδιον τουτο και θηλασον μοι αυτο, και εγω θελω σοι δωσει τον μισθον σου.

10 Ελαβε δε η γυνη το παιδιον και εθηλαζεν αυτο. Και αφου εμεγαλωσε το παιδιον, εφερεν αυτο προς την θυγατερα του Φαραω, και εγεινεν υιος αυτης· και εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου Μωυσην, λεγουσα, Οτι εκ του υδατος ανεσυρα αυτο.

11 Κατα δε τας ημερας εκεινας, αφου ο Μωυσης εμεγαλωσεν, εξηλθε προς τους αδελφους αυτου· και παρατηρων τα βαρη αυτων, βλεπει ανθρωπον Αιγυπτιον τυπτοντα Εβραιον τινα εκ των αδελφων αυτου.

12 Περιβλεψας δε εδω και εκει και ιδων οτι δεν ητο ουδεις, επαταξε τον Αιγυπτιον και εκρυψεν αυτον εν τη αμμω.

13 Και εξηλθε την ακολουθον ημεραν και ιδου, δυο ανδρες Εβραιοι διεπληκτιζοντο· και λεγει προς τον αδικουντα, Δια τι τυπτεις τον πλησιον σου;

14 Ο δε ειπε, Τις σε κατεστησεν αρχοντα και κριτην εφ' ημας; Μηπως θελεις συ να με φονευσης, καθως εφονευσας τον Αιγυπτιον; Και εφοβηθη ο Μωυσης και ειπε, Βεβαιως το πραγμα τουτο εγεινε γνωστον.

15 Ακουσας δε ο Φαραω το πραγμα τουτο, εζητει να θανατωση τον Μωυσην· αλλ' ο Μωυσης εφυγεν απο προσωπου του Φαραω και κατωκησεν εν τη γη Μαδιαμ· εκαθισε δε πλησιον του φρεατος.

16 Ο δε ιερευς της Μαδιαμ ειχεν επτα θυγατερας, αιτινες ελθουσαι ηντλησαν υδωρ και εγεμισαν τας ποτιστρας δια να ποτισωσι τα προβατα του πατρος αυτων.

17 Ελθοντες δε οι ποιμενες εδιωξαν αυτας· και σηκωθεις ο Μωυσης εβοηθησεν αυτας και εποτισε τα προβατα αυτων.

18 Και οτε ηλθον προς Ραγουηλ τον πατερα αυτων, ειπε προς αυτας, Δια τι τοσον ταχεως ηλθετε σημερον;

19 Αι δε ειπον, Ανθρωπος Αιγυπτιος ελυτρωσεν ημας εκ των χειρων των ποιμενων και προσετι ηντλησεν εις ημας υδωρ και εποτισε τα προβατα.

20 Ο δε ειπε προς τας θυγατερας αυτου, Και που ειναι; δια τι αφηκατε τον ανθρωπον; καλεσατε αυτον δια να φαγη αρτον.

21 Και ευχαριστηθη ο Μωυσης να κατοικη μετα του ανθρωπου· οστις εδωκεν εις τον Μωυσην εις γυναικα Σεπφωραν την θυγατερα αυτου.

22 Και εγεννησεν υιον· και εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου Γηρσωμ, λεγων, Παροικος ειμαι εν ξενη γη·

23 Μετα δε πολυν καιρον, ετελευτησεν ο βασιλευς της Αιγυπτου· και κατεστεναξαν οι υιοι Ισραηλ δια την δουλειαν και ανεβοησαν· και η βοη αυτων ανεβη προς τον Θεον εξ αιτιας της δουλειας.

24 Και εισηκουσεν ο Θεος των στεναγμων αυτων· και ενεθυμηθη ο Θεος την διαθηκην αυτου την προς τον Αβρααμ, τον Ισαακ και τον Ιακωβ·

25 και επεβλεψεν ο Θεος επι τους υιους Ισραηλ και ηλεησεν αυτους ο Θεος.

6716. 'A man from the house of Levi went' means truth which has its origin in good. This is clear from the meaning of 'a man as truth, dealt with in 3134; from the meaning of being 'from the house' as the origin; and from the representation of 'Levi' as good. In the highest sense 'Levi' represents Divine Love, dealt with in 3875, and in the internal sense spiritual love, 3875, 4497, 4502, 4503; and since he represents love, he represents good, because all good comes from love. As regards truth which has its origin in good, meant here by 'a man from the house of Levi', it should be recognized that the verses which follow deal in the highest sense with the Lord, with the way in which His Human became the law of God, that is, real Truth. It is well known that the Lord was born like anyone else and that when He was a young child he learned to talk like any other young child, after which He grew in knowledge, and also in intelligence and wisdom.

[2] From this it is evident that His Human was not Divine when He was born but that He made it Divine by His own power. He made it Divine by His own power because He had been conceived from Jehovah, as a result of which the inmost core of His life was Jehovah Himself. For the inmost core of anyone's life, called the soul, is derived from the father, whereas that which clothes what is inmost, called the body, is derived from the mother. The inmost core of life derived from the father is constantly flowing into and having an effect on the external derived from the mother, endeavouring even in the womb to make it similar to itself. This may be recognized in the fact that children are born with their father's disposition, and sometimes grandchildren and great grandchildren with their grandfather's and great grandfather's disposition. The reason for this is that the soul, which is derived from the father, constantly wishes to make the external derived from the mother similar to itself and an image of itself.

[3] Seeing that this is what goes on with man, one may recognize that it was what went on especially with the Lord. The inmost part of Him was the Divine Itself because it was Jehovah Himself, for He was Jehovah's only-begotten Son. And since that inmost part was the Divine Itself, how, more so than with any man, could the Divine fail to make the external derived from the mother an image of itself, that is, similar to itself, so that the Human - the external, derived from the mother - would be made Divine? This He accomplished by His own power because the Divine, which was the Inmost by which He had an effect on His Human, was His in the same way as a person's soul, which is the inmost part of him, belongs to that person. And because the progress which the Lord made conformed to Divine order, He made His Human, while He was in the world, to be Divine Truth; but after that, when He was fully glorified, He made it to be Divine Good, and so one with Jehovah.

[4] How this was accomplished is what is described in the highest sense of the present chapter. But since the contents of the highest sense, which all have to do with the Lord, surpass human understanding, let what follows be an explanation of the things contained in the internal sense of the chapter. These have to do with the beginnings and the succeeding states of God's truth with a member of the Church, that is, with a person who is being regenerated, 6713, 6714. The reason why these are the things contained in the internal sense is that human regeneration is an image of the glorification of the Lord's Human, see 3138, 3212, 3245, 3246, 3296, 3490, 4402, 5688.
