1 ויען משה ויאמר והן לא־יאמינו לי ולא ישמעו בקלי כי יאמרו לא־נראה אליך יהוה׃

2 ויאמר אליו יהוה [כ= מזה] [ק= מה] [ק= ] [ק=־זה] בידך ויאמר מטה׃

3 ויאמר השליכהו ארצה וישליכהו ארצה ויהי לנחש וינס משה מפניו׃

4 ויאמר יהוה אל־משה שלח ידך ואחז בזנבו וישלח ידו ויחזק בו ויהי למטה בכפו׃

5 למען יאמינו כי־נראה אליך יהוה אלהי אבתם אלהי אברהם אלהי יצחק ואלהי יעקב׃

6 ויאמר יהוה לו עוד הבא־נא ידך בחיקך ויבא ידו בחיקו ויוצאה והנה ידו מצרעת כשלג׃

7 ויאמר השב ידך אל־חיקך וישב ידו אל־חיקו ויוצאה מחיקו והנה־שבה כבשרו׃

8 והיה אם־לא יאמינו לך ולא ישמעו לקל האת הראשון והאמינו לקל האת האחרון׃

9 והיה אם־לא יאמינו גם לשני האתות האלה ולא ישמעון לקלך ולקחת ממימי היאר ושפכת היבשה והיו המים אשר תקח מן־היאר והיו לדם ביבשת׃

10 ויאמר משה אל־יהוה בי אדני לא איש דברים אנכי גם מתמול גם משלשם גם מאז דברך אל־עבדך כי כבד־פה וכבד לשון אנכי׃

11 ויאמר יהוה אליו מי שם פה לאדם או מי־ישום אלם או חרש או פקח או עור הלא אנכי יהוה׃

12 ועתה לך ואנכי אהיה עם־פיך והוריתיך אשר תדבר׃

13 ויאמר בי אדני שלח־נא ביד־תשלח׃

14 ויחר־אף יהוה במשה ויאמר הלא אהרן אחיך הלוי ידעתי כי־דבר ידבר הוא וגם הנה־הוא יצא לקראתך וראך ושמח בלבו׃

15 ודברת אליו ושמת את־הדברים בפיו ואנכי אהיה עם־פיך ועם־פיהו והוריתי אתכם את אשר תעשון׃

16 ודבר־הוא לך אל־העם והיה הוא יהיה־לך לפה ואתה תהיה־לו לאלהים׃

17 ואת־המטה הזה תקח בידך אשר תעשה־בו את־האתת׃ ף

18 וילך משה וישב אל־יתר חתנו ויאמר לו אלכה נא ואשובה אל־אחי אשר־במצרים ואראה העודם חיים ויאמר יתרו למשה לך לשלום׃

19 ויאמר יהוה אל־משה במדין לך שב מצרים כי־מתו כל־האנשים המבקשים את־נפשך׃

20 ויקח משה את־אשתו ואת־בניו וירכבם על־החמר וישב ארצה מצרים ויקח משה את־מטה האלהים בידו׃

21 ויאמר יהוה אל־משה בלכתך לשוב מצרימה ראה כל־המפתים אשר־שמתי בידך ועשיתם לפני פרעה ואני אחזק את־לבו ולא ישלח את־העם׃

22 ואמרת אל־פרעה כה אמר יהוה בני בכרי ישראל׃

23 ואמר אליך שלח את־בני ויעבדני ותמאן לשלחו הנה אנכי הרג את־בנך בכרך׃

24 ויהי בדרך במלון ויפגשהו יהוה ויבקש המיתו׃

25 ותקח צפרה צר ותכרת את־ערלת בנה ותגע לרגליו ותאמר כי חתן־דמים אתה לי׃

26 וירף ממנו אז אמרה חתן דמים למולת׃ ף

27 ויאמר יהוה אל־אהרן לך לקראת משה המדברה וילך ויפגשהו בהר האלהים וישק־לו׃

28 ויגד משה לאהרן את כל־דברי יהוה אשר שלחו ואת כל־האתת אשר צוהו׃

29 וילך משה ואהרן ויאספו את־כל־זקני בני ישראל׃

30 וידבר אהרן את כל־הדברים אשר־דבר יהוה אל־משה ויעש האתת לעיני העם׃

31 ויאמן העם וישמעו כי־פקד יהוה את־בני ישראל וכי ראה את־ענים ויקדו וישתחוו׃

Arcana Coelestia#6977

学习本章节

  
/10837  
  

6977. 'And it will be water which you have taken' means an inversion of state. This is clear from the words that come immediately after these, for it says that the water will become blood on the dry land, meaning the falsification of all truth and the deprivation of it in the natural. When this happens a complete inversion of state takes place. Thus it is that because those words imply an inversion of state they are also said to mean such an inversion. A total inversion of state has also taken place in the natural when nothing but falsities are in possession of it. This rarely happens with a person while he is living in the world; but in the next life it is what happens with all who are cast into hell. The reason why it rarely happens with a person while he is living in the world is that during that time he is preserved constantly in a condition that enables him to be reformed, provided that in freedom he refrains from behaving in evil ways. But after death the life he has led follows him, and he remains in the condition he has acquired through the whole course of his life in the world. Then one who is immersed in evil is no longer able to be reformed; and for fear that he should come into contact with any community in heaven, everything true or good is taken away from him. As a result he remains immersed in evil and falsity, and these - the evil and falsity - increase in him according to the ability he has acquired in the world to receive them. Even so, he is not allowed to go beyond his acquired limits. This is what an inversion of state is used to mean here. The nature of it is such that a person can no longer undergo inward, only outward correction, that is to say, through fear on account of punishments. And when he has suffered these often, he finally refrains from evil, not in freedom but through compulsion, though the desire to do evil remains. This desire is held in check by means of fears which, as has been stated, are outward means of correction and provide compulsion. This is the condition of the evil in the next life.

Exodus第4章

1 Moses answered, "But, behold, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice; for they will say, 'Yahweh has not appeared to you.'"

2 Yahweh said to him, "What is that in your hand?" He said, "A rod."

3 He said, "Throw it on the ground." He threw it on the ground, and it became a snake; and Moses ran away from it.

4 Yahweh said to Moses, "Put forth your hand, and take it by the tail." He Put forth his hand, and laid hold of it, and it became a rod in his hand.

5 "That they may believe that Yahweh, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you."

6 Yahweh said furthermore to him, "Now put your hand inside your cloak." He put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, as white as snow.

7 He said, "Put your hand inside your cloak again." He Put his hand inside his cloak again, and when he took it out of his cloak, behold, it had turned again as his other flesh.

8 "It will happen, if they will neither believe you nor listen to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.

9 It will happen, if they will not believe even these two signs, neither listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it on the dry land. The water which you take out of the river will become blood on the dry land."

10 Moses said to Yahweh, "O Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before now, nor since you have spoken to your servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue."

11 Yahweh said to him, "Who made man's mouth? Or who makes one mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Isn't it I, Yahweh?

12 Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall speak."

13 He said, "Oh, Lord, please send someone else."

14 The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Moses, and he said, "What about Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Also, behold, he comes forth to meet you. When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.

15 You shall speak to him, and put the words in his mouth. I will be with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what you shall do.

16 He will be your spokesman to the people; and it will happen, that he will be to you a mouth, and you will be to him as God.

17 You shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do the signs."

18 Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, "Please let me go and return to my brothers who are in Egypt, and see whether they are still alive." Jethro said to Moses, "go in peace."

19 Yahweh said to Moses in Midian, "Go, return into Egypt; for all the men who sought your life are dead."

20 Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them on a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt. Moses took God's rod in his hand.

21 Yahweh said to Moses, "When you go back into Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in your hand, but I will harden his heart and he will not let the people go.

22 You shall tell Pharaoh, 'Thus says Yahweh, Israel is my son, my firstborn,

23 and I have said to you, "Let my son go, that he may serve me;" and you have refused to let him go. Behold, I will kill your son, your firstborn.'"

24 It happened on the way at a lodging place, that Yahweh met Moses and wanted to kill him.

25 Then Zipporah took a flint, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet; and she said, "Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me."

26 So he let him alone. Then she said, "You are a bridegroom of blood," because of the circumcision.

27 Yahweh said to Aaron, "Go into the wilderness to meet Moses." He went, and met him on God's mountain, and kissed him.

28 Moses told Aaron all the words of Yahweh with which he had sent him, and all the signs with which he had instructed him.

29 Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel.

30 Aaron spoke all the words which Yahweh had spoken to Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.

31 The people believed, and when they heard that Yahweh had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped.
