1 Вотъ имена сыновъ Израилевыхъ, которые вошли въ Египетъ съ Іаковомъ, вошли каждый съ семействомъ своимъ:

2 Рувимъ, Симеонъ, Левій и Іуда,

3 Иссахаръ, Завулонъ и Веніаминъ,

4 Данъ и Нефѕалимъ, Гадъ и Асиръ.

5 Всјхъ же душъ, произшедшихъ отъ чреслъ Іакова, было семьдесятъ, а Іосифъ былъ уже въ Египтј.

6 Іосифъ умеръ и всј братья его и весь оный родъ;

7 а сыны Израилевы расплодились, размножились, возрасли и усилились чрезвычайно, и наполнилась ими страна та.

8 Между тјмъ возсталъ въ Египтј новый царь, который не зналъ Іосифа.

9 И сказалъ народу своему: вотъ, народъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ многочисленъ и сильнје насъ.

10 Ухитримся противъ него, чтобъ онъ не размножался, иначе, когда случится война, соединится и онъ съ нашими непріятелями, и вооружится противу насъ, и выйдетъ изъ сей земли.

11 Итакъ поставили надъ нимъ приставниковъ, чтобъ изнурять его тяжкими работами ихъ; и онъ построилъ Фараону Пиѕомъ и Раамсесъ, города для запасовъ.

12 Но чјмъ болје изнуряли его, тјмъ болје онъ умножался и тјмъ болје возрасталъ; такъ что опасалисъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ.

13 И потому Египтяне съ жестокостію принуждали сыновъ Израилевыхъ къ работамъ.

14 И дјлали жизнь ихъ горькою отъ тяжкой работы надъ глиною и кирпичами и отъ всякой работы полевой, отъ всякой работы, къ которой принуждали ихъ съ жестокостію.

15 Сверхъ того царь Египетскій повелјлъ повивальнымъ бабкамъ Евреянокъ, изъ коихъ одной имя Шифра, а другой фуа,

16 и сказалъ: когда вы будете повивать у Евреянокъ, то наблюдайте при родахъ: если будетъ сынъ, то умерщвляйте его; а если дочь, то пусть живетъ.

17 Но повивальныя бабки боялись Бога, и не дјлали такъ, какъ говорилъ имъ царь Египетскій: и оставляли дјтей въ живыхъ.

18 Царь Египетскій призвалъ повивальныхъ бабокъ, и сказалъ имъ: для чего вы дјлаете такое дјло, что оставляете дјтей въ живыхъ?

19 Повивальныя бабки сказали Фараону: Еврейскія женщины не такъ, какъ Египетскія; онј здоровы, - прежде нежели придетъ къ нимъ повивальная бабка, онј уже рождаютъ.

20 За сіе Богъ дјлалъ добро повивальнымъ бабкамъ; а народъ умножадся и весьма усиливался.

21 Такимъ образомъ, поелику повивальныя бабки боялись Бога, Богъ устроялъ семейства Евреямъ.

22 Наконецъ Фараонъ всему народу своему повелјлъ, говоря: всякаго у Евреевъ новорожденнаго сына бросайте въ рјку, а всякую дочь оставляйте въ живыхъ.

8806. 'And sanctified the people' means covering over their interiors in order that those people may appear in the holiness of faith. This is clear from the explanation above in 8788. That paragraph however showed what sanctification among the Israelite people was, namely a covering over of their interiors in order that those people might appear outwardly in holiness when they were involved in representative worship. And unless their interiors had been covered over then, foul thoughts and evil affections would have not merely defiled the holiness of their worship but also completely destroyed it, so completely that nothing celestial or spiritual, represented in externals, could have been perceived from it in heaven.

[2] But since 'the children of Israel' is used here to mean those belonging to the spiritual Church, something brief will be stated about how to understand sanctification among those people. Those belonging to the spiritual Church, those who lead a life of truth, and go on to lead a life of good, are withheld from evils and maintained in good by the Lord. The good they have from the Lord is the holiness with them. Consequently in the measure that they receive good from the Lord they are holy; and the measure of good they receive from the Lord, that is, the measure in which they are holy, is determined by how far they lead a life of good in keeping with the genuine truths of faith, and by how far at that time they believe that all the good they think and do then begins in the Lord. When they do these things the evils present with them are separated so that they do not at all appear, especially the evils they have derived by heredity from their parents, which are foul, because they have been accumulated from many ages back by successive generations of parents and accordingly heaped up in offspring. These are the interiors which with those belonging to the spiritual Church have been hidden away and so to speak covered over, 966, 1667, 2307, 2308, 3701, 4317, 8550. So it is that the entire will they receive by heredity has been corrupted. As a consequence of this they have a new will which the Lord forms in the understanding part of the mind by means of the truths of faith. This explains why they are led by means of truths to good while they are being regenerated, and after that, when they have been regenerated, from good into the truths of good. This shows plainly how their new will is created by the Lord. Regarding its formation in the understanding part of the mind with those belonging to the spiritual Church, see 863, 875, 895, 927, 1023, 1043, 1044, 1555, 2256, 4328, 4493, 5113, 6125.
