1 여호와께서 모세에게 이르시되 너는 바로에게 가서 그에게 이르기를 여호와의 말씀에 내 백성을 보내라 그들이 나를 섬길 것이니라

2 네가 만일 보내기를 거절하면 내가 개구리로 너의 온 지경을 칠지라

3 개구리가 하수에서 무수히 생기고 올라와서 네 궁에와, 네 침실에와, 네 침상 위에와, 네 신하의 집에와, 네 백성에게와, 네 화덕에와, 네 떡반죽 그릇에 들어갈지며

4 개구리가 네게와, 네 백성에게와, 네 모든 신하에게 오르리라 하셨다 하라

5 여호와께서 모세에게 이르시되 아론에게 명하기를 네 지팡이를 잡고 네 팔을 강들과 운하들과 못 위에 펴서 개구리로 애굽 땅에올라오게 하라 할지니라

6 아론이 팔을 애굽 물들 위에 펴매 개구리가 올라와서 애굽 땅에 덮이니

7 술객들도 자기 술법대로 이와 같이 하여 개구리로 애굽 땅에 올라오게 하였더라

8 바로가 모세와 아론을 불러 이르되 `여호와께 구하여 개구리를 나와 내 백성에게서 떠나게 하라 내가 이 백성을 보내리니 그들이 여호와께 희생을 드릴 것이니라'

9 모세가 바로에게 이르되 `내가 왕과 왕의 신하와 왕의 백성을 위하여 어느 때에 구하여 이 개구리를 왕과 왕궁에서 끊어서 하수에만 있게 하오리이까 ? 내게 보이소서'

10 그가 가로되 `내일이니라' 모세가 가로되 `왕의 말씀대로 하여 왕으로 우리 하나님 여호와와 같은 이가 없는 줄을 알게 하리니

11 개구리가 왕과, 왕궁과, 왕의 신하와, 왕의 백성을 떠나서 하수에만 있으리이다' 하고

12 모세와 아론이 바로를 떠나 나가서 바로에게 내리신 개구리에 대하여 모세가 여호와께 간구하매

13 여호와께서 모세의 말대로 하시니 개구리가 집에서,마당에서,밭에서 나와서 죽은지라

14 사람들이 모아 무더기로 쌓으니 땅에서 악취가 나더라

15 그러나 바로가 숨을 통할 수 있음을 볼 때에 그 마음을 완강케 하여 그들을 듣지 아니하였으니 여호와의 말씀과 같더라

16 여호와께서 모세에게 이르시되 아론에게 명하기를 네 지팡이를 들어 땅의 티끌을 치라 하라 그것이 애굽 온 땅에서 이가 되리라

17 그들이 그대로 행할쌔 아론이 지팡이를 잡고 손을 들어 땅의 티끌을 치매 애굽 온 땅의 티끌이 다 이가 되어 사람과 생축에게 오르니

18 술객들이 자기 술법으로 이같이 행하여 이를 내려 하였으나 못하였고 이는 사람과 생축에게 있은지라

19 술객이 바로에게 고하되 `이는 하나님의 권능이니이다 !' 하나 바로의 마음이 강퍅케 되어 그들을 듣지 아니하였으니 여호와의 말씀과 같더라

20 여호와께서 모세에게 이르시되 아침에 일찌기 일어나 바로 앞에 서라 그가 물로 나오리니 그에게 이르기를 여호와의 말씀에 내 백성을 보내라 그들이 나를 섬길 것이니라

21 네가 만일 내 백성을 보내지 아니하면 내가 너와 네 신하와 네 백성을 보내지 아니하면 내가 너와 네 신하와 네 백성과 네 집들에 파리떼를 보내리니 애굽 사람의 집집에 파리 떼가 가득할 것이며 그들의 거하는 땅에도 그러하리라

22 그 날에 내가 내 백성의 거하는 고센 땅을 구별하여 그 곳에는 파리떼가 없게 하리니 이로 말미암아 나는 세상 중의 여호와인 줄을 네가 알게 될 것이라

23 내가 내 백성과 네 백성 사이에 구별을 두리니 내일 이 표징이 있으리라 하셨다 하라 하시고

24 여호와께서 그와 같이 하시니 무수한 파리떼가 바로의 궁에와, 그 신하의 집에와, 애굽 전국에 이르니 파리떼로 인하여 땅이 해를 받더라

25 바로가 모세와 아론을 불러 이르되 `너희는 가서 이 땅에서 너희 하나님께 희생을 드리라'

26 모세가 가로되 `그리함은 불가하니이다 우리가 우리 하나님 여호와께 희생을 드리는 것은 애굽 사람의 미워하는 바이온즉 우리가 만일 애굽 사람의 목전에서 희생을 드리면 그들이 그것을 미워하여 우리를 돌로 치지 아니하리이까 ?

27 우리가 사흘길쯤 광야로 들어가서 우리 하나님 여호와께 희생을 드리되 우리에게 명하시는대로 하려하나이다'

28 바로가 가로되 `내가 너희를 보내리니 너희가 너희 하나님 여호와께 광야에서 희생을 드릴 것이나 너무 멀리는 가지 말라 그런즉 너희는 나를 위하여 기도하라'

29 모세가 가로되 `내가 왕을 떠나 가서 여호와께 기도하리니 내일이면 파리떼가 바로와 바로의 신하와 바로의 백성을 떠나려니와 바로는 이 백성을 보내어 여호와께 희생을 드리는 일에 다시 거짓을 행치 마소서' 하고

30 모세가 바로를 떠나 나와서 여호와께 기도하니

31 여호와께서 모세의 말대로 하사 파리를 바로와 그 신하와 그 백성에게 몰수히 떠나게 하시니라

32 그러나 바로가 이 때에도 마음을 완강케 하여 백성을 보내지 아니하였더라

7454. 'It is ill-advised to do so, for we would be sacrificing the abomination of the Egyptians to Jehovah our God' means that what was vile, foul, and hellish would enter in. This is clear from the meaning of 'ill-advised to do so' as something that cannot be done; from the meaning of 'the abomination' as what is vile, foul, and hellish; and from the meaning of 'sacrificing to Jehovah God' as worshipping their God, dealt with above in 7452. Consequently 'sacrificing to Jehovah God the abomination of the Egyptians' means that they would be worshipping God with a type of worship which was abominated by those steeped in falsities because of a hellish influence that was antagonistic to that worship and would molest it. What all this entails is also evident from things that reveal themselves in the next life. Each spirit there, and especially each community, is encompassed by a sphere consisting of his or its own faith and life. This sphere is a spiritual sphere, and from it the character of the spirit is recognized, and especially that of the community; for those who have the gift of perception perceive it, sometimes from quite a long way off. They can perceive it even though they may be hidden from view and make no contact through thought or speech. This spiritual sphere may be compared to the material sphere which surrounds a person's body in the world. This sphere is a sphere consisting of odours emanating from him, and is detected by keen-scented animals. Regarding the spiritual sphere surrounding spirits, see 1048, 1053, 1316, 1504, 1519, 2401, 2489, 4464, 5179, 6206 (end).

[2] From all this it becomes clear that if hellish spirits were present near where people offering Divine worship were they would by means of their sphere molest those people; for in those circumstances those people offering Divine worship would perceive what was vile and abominable. This shows how one should understand the explanation that what was vile, foul, and hellish would enter in if they worshipped God in a place near them. From what has been stated about the spiritual sphere, or sphere consisting of faith and life, which emanates from each spirit, and especially from each community of spirits, it may also be recognized that nothing whatever of a person s thought, speech, or action in the world is hidden but is open to view, since they are what constitute that sphere. Such a sphere also emanates from a person's spirit while he is in the body, in the world. And from this too one knows what kind of person he is. Do not suppose therefore that the things which a person thinks in secret or does in secret are hidden. They are as plainly evident in heaven as things seen in the light of the midday sun, as accords with the Lord's words in Luke,

Nothing has been hidden that will not be revealed, or concealed that will not be made known. Therefore whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light; and what you have spoken in the ear in bedchambers will be proclaimed on the housetops. Luke 12:1, 7.

4464. 'Only on this [condition] will we consent to you: If you will be as we are' means acceptance of their semblance of religion. This is clear from the meaning of 'consenting' as acceptance, and from the meaning of 'being as they are' as being interested only in external things and not in internal ones, for they would in that case have been as they were, see just above in 4459. There it was shown - in 4459 - what an interest only in external things is and what an interest in internal ones is. Here the reason why a person ought to be interested in internal ones is going to be stated. Anyone who reflects may see that man has communication with heaven by means of internal things, for the whole of heaven dwells within internal things. Unless a person is in heaven as regards his thoughts and affections, that is, as regards the thoughts in his understanding and the affections in his will, he cannot go to heaven after death, since he has no communication with it at all. During his lifetime a person secures that communication by means of truths in his understanding and goods in his will, and unless he secures it then he cannot do so subsequently, since his mind cannot be opened after death to interior things if it has not been opened to them during his lifetime.

[2] Man is not immediately conscious of the fact that a spiritual sphere surrounds him, the nature of which is determined by the life of his affections. That sphere the angels are able to perceive more clearly than any aroma reaching the keenest sense of smell in the world. If in his life he has been interested only in external things, that is to say, in the pleasures that are gained from hatred against the neighbour, from consequent revenge and cruelty, from committing adultery, from self-aggrandizement and consequent contempt for others, from unseen acts of robbery, from avarice, from deceit, and from luxuriousness, and other vices like these, the spiritual sphere which surrounds him is as offensive as the aroma in the world coming from dead bodies, dung, stinking refuse, and other things such as these. Anyone who has been leading a life like this takes that sphere with him after death; and being entirely surrounded by that sphere he cannot exist anywhere else than in hell where such spheres belong. Concerning spheres in the next life and their origins, see 1048, 1053, 1316, 1504-1519, 1695, 2401, 2489.

[3] People however who are interested in internal things - that is to say, who have taken delight in expressing good-will and charity towards the neighbour, and most of all who have found blessedness in love to the Lord - have a pleasing and lovely sphere surrounding them, which is the heavenly sphere itself; and for that reason they are in heaven. All the spheres which are perceived in the next life have their origin in the loves and in the affections deriving from those loves which have governed them. Such spheres have their origins as a consequence in their life, for their loves and affections derived from these loves constitute their life itself. And because they have their origins in their loves and affections derived from these they have their origins in the intentions and the ends in view which cause a person to will and to act in the way he does. For everyone has as his end in view that which he loves, and therefore a person's ends determine what his life is and constitute the essential nature of it; and this is the main source of the sphere around him. That sphere is perceived most perfectly in heaven the reason being that the sphere emanating from ends in view exists throughout the whole of heaven. These considerations show what someone is like whose interest is in internal things and what someone is like whose interest is in external ones, and why a person ought not to be interested only in external things but to be interested in internal ones also.

[4] But someone who is interested only in external things pays no attention to internal ones - no matter how skillful he may be in the conduct of public affairs and no matter how great a reputation he has earned for being learned - because he is the kind of person who does not believe in the existence of anything which he does not see with his eyes or feel by touch, and therefore does not believe in heaven or in hell. And if he were told that he was going to enter the next life immediately after death, where he will see, hear, speak, and enjoy a sense of touch more perfectly than when in the body he would reject it as an absurdity or sheer fantasy, when in actual fact that happens to be the truth. His reaction would be the same if anyone were to tell him that the soul or spirit which lives after death is the real person and not the body which he carries around in the world.

[5] From this it follows that those who are interested only in external things pay no attention at all to what is said concerning internal things, when yet it is these that make people blessed and happy in the kingdom which they are going to enter and in which they are going to live for ever. Such unbelief is present in most Christians, as I have been allowed to know from those to whom I have spoken who have entered the next life from the Christian world. For in the next life they are not able to conceal what they have thought since thoughts are laid completely bare there; nor are they able to conceal what ends they have had in view, that is, what they have loved, for this reveals itself through the sphere surrounding them.
