1 Mozė sakė: “O jeigu jie netikės manimi ir neklausys mano balso, sakydami: ‘Tau nepasirodė Viešpats’ ”.

2 Tuomet Viešpats paklausė jį: “Ką laikai rankoje?” Jis atsakė: “Lazdą”.

3 “Mesk žemėn!”­tarė Dievas. Jis numetė ją ir ji pavirto gyvate; Mozė ėmė bėgti nuo jos.

4 Viešpats pasakė Mozei: “Ištiesk savo ranką ir nutverk ją už uodegos!” Jis ištiesė savo ranką, nutvėrė ją ir ji pavirto lazda.

5 “Tai daryk, kad jie tikėtų, jog tau pasirodė Viešpats, jų tėvų Dievas, Abraomo, Izaoko ir Jokūbo Dievas”.

6 Viešpats kalbėjo toliau ir liepė jam įkišti ranką į savo užantį. Jis įkišo, ir kai ištraukė ją, ranka buvo balta nuo raupsų kaip sniegas.

7 “Vėl įkišk savo ranką į užantį!”­tarė Dievas. Jis padarė, kaip buvo liepta. Kai jis ištraukė ją, ji buvo sveika.

8 “Jeigu jie netikės tavimi ir nekreips dėmesio į pirmojo ženklo balsą, tai jie patikės kito ženklo balsu.

9 O jeigu jie netikės šiais dviem ženklais ir neklausys tavo balso, tai pasemk upės vandens ir išliek ant žemės! Tada vanduo, kurį pasemsi iš upės ir išliesi ant žemės, pavirs krauju”.

10 Mozė tarė Viešpačiui: “Viešpatie, aš nesu iškalbingas: nebuvau toks anksčiau nei dabar, kai Tu prabilai į savo tarną. Man sunku kalbėti ir mano liežuvis pinasi”.

11 Viešpats jam atsakė: “Kas sutvėrė žmogaus burną? Kas padaro jį nebylų, kurčią, matantį ar aklą? Argi ne Aš, Viešpats?

12 Taigi dabar eik, o Aš būsiu su tavo lūpomis ir tave pamokysiu, ką kalbėti”.

13 Jis atsakė: “Prašau, Viešpatie, siųsk ką nors kitą!”

14 Tada Viešpats supykęs tarė: “Žinau, kad tavo brolis Aaronas, levitas, yra iškalbus ir jis pasitiks tave. Tave pamatęs, jis džiaugsis savo širdyje.

15 Tu kalbėsi jam ir įdėsi žodžius į jo lūpas. Aš būsiu su tavo ir jo lūpomis ir jus pamokysiu, ką turite daryti.

16 Jis kalbės už tave tautai. Jis bus tavo lūpomis, o tu būsi jam vietoje Dievo.

17 Pasiimk šitą lazdą, su kuria darysi ženklus”.

18 Mozė sugrįžo pas savo uošvį Jetrą ir tarė jam: “Prašau, leisk man sugrįžti į Egiptą pas savo brolius ir pasižiūrėti, ar jie tebėra gyvi”. Jetras atsakė: “Eik ramybėje!”

19 Viešpats tarė Mozei Midjane: “Sugrįžk į Egiptą! Nes visi, kurie ieškojo tavo gyvybės, yra mirę”.

20 Mozė pasiėmė žmoną ir sūnus, užsodino juos ant asilo ir grįžo į Egiptą; ir Dievo lazdą jis pasiėmė į savo ranką.

21 Viešpats pasakė Mozei: “Kai sugrįši į Egiptą, žiūrėk, kad padarytum faraono akivaizdoje visus stebuklus, kuriuos įdėjau į tavo ranką. Bet Aš užkietinsiu jo širdį, ir jis neišleis tautos.

22 Sakyk faraonui: ‘Taip kalba Viešpats: ‘Izraelis yra mano pirmagimis sūnus.

23 Aš tau sakau: išleisk mano sūnų, kad jis man tarnautų; jei neišleisi jo, nužudysiu tavo pirmagimį sūnų’ ”.

24 Pakeliui, nakvynės namuose, sutiko jį Viešpats ir norėjo nužudyti.

25 Tada Cipora, paėmusi aštrų akmenį, apipjaustė sūnų, numetė odelę prie Mozės kojų ir tarė: “Tu esi mano kruvinas vyras!”

26 Ir Viešpats leido jam eiti. Tada ji pasakė: “Kruvinas vyras dėl apipjaustymo”.

27 Viešpats tarė Aaronui: “Eik į dykumą pasitikti Mozės”. Jis ėjo ir, sutikęs jį prie Dievo kalno, pabučiavo.

28 Mozė papasakojo Aaronui visus Viešpaties, kuris jį siuntė, žodžius ir apie visus ženklus, kuriuos Jis jam įsakė daryti.

29 Mozė ir Aaronas nuėję surinko visus izraelitų vyresniuosius.

30 Aaronas kalbėjo visus žodžius, kuriuos Viešpats buvo kalbėjęs Mozei, ir padarė ženklus tautos akyse.

31 Tauta patikėjo. Išgirdę, kad Viešpats aplankė izraelitus ir pamatė jų priespaudą, jie žemai nusilenkė ir pagarbino Jį.

7016. 'And said [to him], I will go, I beg you, and return to my brothers who are in Egypt' means being raised to more internal and more spiritual life in the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'going and returning' as a further state of life, and the further state of life here consists in being raised to more internal and more spiritual life, thus life closer to the Divine, for in reference to the Lord, whom 'Moses' represents, 'going and returning' is used to mean being raised to the Divine Being (Esse) or Jehovah, who was within Him and from whom He came; from the representation of the children of Israel, to whom 'brothers' refers here, as the Lord's spiritual kingdom and consequently the spiritual Church, dealt with in 6426, 6637; and from the meaning of 'Egypt' as the natural, dealt with in 6147, 6252. From all this it is evident that 'I will go, I beg you, and return to my brothers who are in Egypt' means being raised to more internal and more spiritual life in the natural. For just as Moses' dwelling in Midian meant life with those who are guided by the truth that goes with simple good, and so are governed by simple good, 7015, so now his dwelling with the children of Israel means life with those who are guided and governed by the truth and good of the spiritual Church, which is more internal and more spiritual than the former life. Regarding the fact that the good and truth of that Church are in the natural, see 4286, 4402.

6426. 'From there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel' means that from this springs all the goodness and truth which the spiritual kingdom possesses. This is clear from the meaning of 'the shepherd' as one who leads to the good of charity by means of the truth of faith, dealt with in 343, 3795, 6044 (here in the highest sense, since it has reference to the Lord, goodness and truth themselves are meant); from the meaning of 'the stone' as truth, dealt with in 1298, 3720, 3769, 3771, 3773, 3789, 3798; and from the representation of 'Israel' as the spiritual Church, dealt with in 3305, 4286, for 'Israel' is spiritual good or the good of truth, 4286, 4598, 5801, 5803, 5806, 5812, 5817, 5819, 5826, 5833. And since the good of truth is the essential element of the spiritual Church, 'Israel' means the spiritual Church, and in the highest sense the Lord's spiritual kingdom. From all this it is evident that 'from there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel' means that from this springs all the goodness and truth which the Lord's spiritual kingdom possesses.

[2] The reason why in the highest sense 'the stone of Israel' means the Lord with respect to the truth that His spiritual kingdom possesses is that in general 'the stone' means the temple, and specifically the foundation on which it stands. 'The temple' in turn means the Lord's Divine Human, as is clear in John 2:19, 21, and so does its 'foundation' in Matthew 21:42, 44, and in Isaiah 28:16. This meaning of 'the stone' in the highest sense - the Lord in respect to Divine Truth which His spiritual kingdom possesses - is evident in David,

The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner. This has been done by Jehovah; it is marvellous in our eyes. Psalms 118:22-23.

'The stone' here is the Lord, as is made clear in Luke,

It is written, The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner. Whoever falls onto that stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder. Luke 20:17-18.

These things are spoken by the Lord regarding Himself. In Isaiah,

He is your fear, and He is your dread; for He will be a sanctuary, though He will be a stone to strike against and a rock to stumble over 1 for both houses of Israel. Many among them will trip, and fall, and be broken to pieces. Isaiah 8:13-15.

Here the Lord is referred to. In the same prophet,

The Lord Jehovih said, Behold I [am He who] will lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, a tested stone, a precious corner-stone, surely founded. He who believes will not be hasty. Isaiah 28:16.

In Zechariah,

Jehovah Zebaoth will visit His flock, the house of Judah, and will place them as His glorious horse 2 in battle. From Him comes the corner-stone, from Him the tent-peg, from Him the battle-bow. Zechariah 10:3-4.

[3] In Daniel,

You were watching, until a stone was cut out, not by means of hands, and it struck the statue on its feet, which were iron and clay, and smashed them to pieces. The stone that struck the statue became a great rock and filled the whole earth. The God of heaven will cause a kingdom to arise that will never be destroyed, and His kingdom will not be left to other people; it will crush and consume all those kingdoms, but will itself stand for ever. Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the rock, not by means of hands, and it smashed the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold . . . Daniel 2:34-35, 44-45.

Here 'the stone' is used in the highest sense to mean the Lord, and in the relative sense to mean His spiritual kingdom. When it says that 'the stone was cut out of the rock' the meaning is that it came out of the truth of faith, for the truth of faith is meant in the Word by 'rock'. And because the truth of faith is meant by 'the stone' and 'the rock', the Lord's spiritual kingdom is also what is meant, since the truth of faith and good ensuing from this truth prevail in that kingdom. Something similar is also meant by 'the stone' on which Jacob slept and which he afterwards set up as a pillar, described as follows,

Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, Surely Jehovah is in this place and I did not know it. And he was afraid and said, How awesome is this place! This is nothing other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven. And in the morning Jacob rose up early, and took the stone which he had placed as his headrest, and placed it as a pillar and poured oil on the top of it. He said, This stone which I have placed as a pillar will be God's house. Genesis 28:16-18, 22.

The fact that by 'the stone' the ancients understood the Lord in the highest sense and His spiritual kingdom in the relative sense is also plain to see in Joshua,

Joshua erected the stone under the oak which was in Jehovah's sanctuary. And Joshua said to all the people, Behold, this stone will be a witness to us, for it has heard all the sayings of Jehovah which He spoke to us. And it shall be a witness against you, lest you deny your God. Joshua 24:26, 17.
