1 ואחר באו משה ואהרן ויאמרו אל־פרעה כה־אמר יהוה אלהי ישראל שלח את־עמי ויחגו לי במדבר׃

2 ויאמר פרעה מי יהוה אשר אשמע בקלו לשלח את־ישראל לא ידעתי את־יהוה וגם את־ישראל לא אשלח׃

3 ויאמרו אלהי העברים נקרא עלינו נלכה נא דרך שלשת ימים במדבר ונזבחה ליהוה אלהינו פן־יפגענו בדבר או בחרב׃

4 ויאמר אלהם מלך מצרים למה משה ואהרן תפריעו את־העם ממעשיו לכו לסבלתיכם׃

5 ויאמר פרעה הן־רבים עתה עם הארץ והשבתם אתם מסבלתם׃

6 ויצו פרעה ביום ההוא את־הנגשים בעם ואת־שטריו לאמר׃

7 לא תאספון לתת תבן לעם ללבן הלבנים כתמול שלשם הם ילכו וקששו להם תבן׃

8 ואת־מתכנת הלבנים אשר הם עשים תמול שלשם תשימו עליהם לא תגרעו ממנו כי־נרפים הם על־כן הם צעקים לאמר נלכה נזבחה לאלהינו׃

9 תכבד העבדה על־האנשים ויעשו־בה ואל־ישעו בדברי־שקר׃

10 ויצאו נגשי* העם ושטריו ויאמרו אל־העם לאמר כה אמר פרעה אינני נתן לכם תבן׃

11 אתם לכו קחו לכם תבן מאשר תמצאו כי אין נגרע מעבדתכם דבר׃

12 ויפץ העם בכל־ארץ מצרים לקשש קש לתבן׃

13 והנגשים אצים לאמר כלו מעשיכם דבר־יום ביומו כאשר בהיות התבן׃

14 ויכו שטרי בני ישראל אשר־שמו עלהם נגשי פרעה לאמר מדוע לא כליתם חקכם ללבן כתמול שלשם גם־תמול גם־היום׃

15 ויבאו שטרי בני ישראל ויצעקו אל־פרעה לאמר למה תעשה כה לעבדיך׃

16 תבן אין נתן לעבדיך ולבנים אמרים לנו עשו והנה עבדיך מכים וחטאת עמך׃

17 ויאמר נרפים אתם נרפים על־כן אתם אמרים נלכה נזבחה ליהוה׃

18 ועתה לכו עבדו ותבן לא־ינתן לכם ותכן לבנים תתנו׃

19 ויראו שטרי בני־ישראל אתם ברע לאמר לא־תגרעו מלבניכם דבר־יום ביומו׃

20 ויפגעו את־משה ואת־אהרן נצבים לקראתם בצאתם מאת פרעה׃

21 ויאמרו אלהם ירא יהוה עליכם וישפט אשר הבאשתם את־ריחנו בעיני פרעה ובעיני עבדיו לתת־חרב בידם להרגנו׃

22 וישב משה אל־יהוה ויאמר אדני למה הרעתה לעם הזה למה זה שלחתני׃

23 ומאז באתי אל־פרעה לדבר בשמך הרע לעם הזה והצל לא־הצלת את־עמך׃

7147. 'And your people have sinned' means that for this reason they are guilty of having done what is evil. This is clear from the meaning of 'sinning' as becoming guilty of evil; and, if guilty, as receiving deserved punishment. What the situation is in general regarding the matters contained in this verse and in those that come before it must be stated. Those who are on the lower earth are molested by the falsities and evils introduced by the surrounding hells. Such molestation takes place in order that evils and falsities may be removed and truths and forms of good may be instilled, as a result of which they are brought into a state in which they can be raised to heaven, see 7090, 7122. But near the end they are molested more harshly than ever before, for at that stage truths are taken away from them and utter falsities are allowed to molest them, even until they are made to despair. For it is in accordance with Divine order that despair should be the final stage of molestation and temptation, see 1787, 2694, 5279, 5280. In order that this state experienced by those belonging to the spiritual Church might be represented by the children of Israel, Pharaoh acted as the narrative describes here. He did what he did when the molestations were near the end, that is to say, when the children of Israel were about to be set free and led to the land of Canaan.

[2] It should be recognized that molestations take place in the following way: Falsities and evils are introduced into a person's thoughts by the hells, and truths and forms of good by heaven, that is, by the Lord through heaven; and that introduction takes place in him because no man or spirit has any thought that originates in himself. Rather, everything flows in from without. Although this is entirely contrary to anyone's perception of what is going on inside him and for that reason seems impossible to believe, it is nevertheless absolutely true. See what has already been brought forward and shown from experience on the matter in 2886, 4151, 4249, 5846, 5854, 6189-6215, 6307-6327, 6466-6495, 6598-6626. From these places one may know how to understand the idea that molestations are effected by the introduction of falsities, and are increased until a person is made to despair.

Exodus第5章

1 Afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said to Pharaoh, "This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, 'Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.'"

2 Pharaoh said, "Who is Yahweh, that I should listen to his voice to let Israel go? I don't know Yahweh, and moreover I will not let Israel go."

3 They said, "The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please let us go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Yahweh, our God, lest he fall on us with pestilence, or with the sword."

4 The king of Egypt said to them, "Why do you, Moses and Aaron, take the people from their work? Get back to your burdens!"

5 Pharaoh said, "Behold, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens."

6 The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,

7 "You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick, as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.

8 The number of the bricks, which they made before, you require from them. You shall not diminish anything of it, for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying, 'Let us go and sacrifice to our God.'

9 Let heavier work be laid on the men, that they may labor therein; and don't let them pay any attention to lying words."

10 The taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, "This is what Pharaoh says: 'I will not give you straw.

11 Go yourselves, get straw where you can find it, for nothing of your work shall be diminished.'"

12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.

13 The taskmasters were urgent saying, "Fulfill your work quota daily, as when there was straw!"

14 The officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, "Why haven't you fulfilled your quota both yesterday and today, in making brick as before?"

15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, "Why do you deal this way with your servants?

16 No straw is given to your servants, and they tell us, 'Make brick!' and behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people."

17 But he said, "You are idle! You are idle! Therefore you say, 'Let us go and sacrifice to Yahweh.'

18 Go therefore now, and work, for no straw shall be given to you, yet you shall deliver the same number of bricks!"

19 The officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in trouble, when it was said, "You shall not diminish anything from your daily quota of bricks!"

20 They met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:

21 and they said to them, "May Yahweh look at you, and judge, because you have made us a stench to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us."

22 Moses returned to Yahweh, and said, "Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? why is it that you have sent me?

23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble on this people; neither have you delivered your people at all."
