1 И сказалъ Іегова Моисею: поди къ Фараону, ибо Я отягчилъ сердце его и сердце рабовъ его, дабы явить между ими сіи знаменія Мои,

2 и дабы ты разсказывалъ сыну твоему, и сыну сына твоего, о томъ, что Я сдјлалъ въ Египтј, и о знаменіяхъ Моихъ, кои Я показалъ въ немъ. и дабы вы знали, что Я Іегова.

3 Моисей и Ааронъ пришли къ Фараону и сказали ему: такъ говоритъ Іегова, Богъ Евреевъ: долго ли ты не смиришься предо Мною? отпусти народъ Мой, дабы онъ совершилъ Мнј служеніе.

4 А если ты не отпустишь народа Моего: то вотъ, завтра Я наведу саранчу на твою область.

5 Она покроетъ лице земли такъ, что нельзя будетъ видјть земли, и појстъ у васъ послјднее, что осталось, уцјлјло отъ града, и појстъ всј дерева, растущія у васъ въ полј;

6 и наполнитъ домы твои, домы всјхъ рабовъ твоихъ и домы всјхъ Египтянъ; чего не видали отцы твои, ни отцы отцевъ твоихъ со дня, какъ живутъ на землј, даже до сего. Моисей обратился и вышедъ отъ Фараона.

7 Тогда рабы Фараоновы сказали ему: долго ли ему насъ мучить? отпусти сихъ людей; пусть они совершатъ служеніе Іеговј, Богу своему; неужели ты еще не видишь, что Египетъ гибнетъ?

8 И возвратили Моисея и Аарона къ Фараону, который сказалъ имъ: подите, совершите служеніе Іеговј Богу вашему. Кто же, и кто пойдетъ?

9 Моисей сказалъ: пойдемъ съ малолјтными нашими и стариками нашими, съ сыновьями нашими, и дочерьми нашими, съ овцами нашими, и съ волами нашими пойдемъ; ибо у насъ праздникъ Іеговј.

10 Фараонъ сказалъ имъ: пусть столько же будетъ Іегова съ вами, сколько я готовъ отпустить васъ съ дјтьми вашими! видите, что у васъ худое въ намјреніи.

11 Нјтъ: подите одни совершеннолјтніе и совершите служеніе Іеговј, такъ какъ вы сего просили. И выгнали ихъ отъ Фараона.

12 Тогда Іегова сказалъ Моисею: простри руку твою на землю Египетскую, и пусть нападетъ саранча иа землю Египетскую, и појстъ всю траву земную, все, что уцјлјло отъ града.

13 И простеръ Моисей посохъ свой на землю Египетскую, и Іегова навелъ на сію землю восточный вјтръ, продолжавшийся весь тотъ день и всю ночь. Настало утро, и восточный вјтръ нанесъ саранчу.

14 И напала саранча на всю землю Египетскую, и легла по всей странј Египетской въ великомъ множествј; прожде не бывало такой саранчи, какъ сія, и послј сего не будетъ такой.

15 Она покрыла лице всей земли, такъ, что земли не было видно, и појла всю траву земную и всј плоды древесные, уцјлјвшіе отъ града, и не осталось никакой зелени, ни на деревахъ, ни на травј полевой во всей землј Египетской.

16 Фараонъ поспјшно призвалъ Моисея и Аарона, и сказалъ: согрјшилъ я предъ Іеговою, Богомъ вашимъ и предъ вами.

17 Теперь простите грјхъ мой и еще разъ, и помолитесь Іеговј, Богу вашему, дабы Онъ только сію смерть отвратилъ отъ меня.

18 Моисей вышелъ отъ Фараона и помолился Іеговј.

19 И воздвигнулъ Іегова съ противной стороны отъ моря весьма сильный вјтръ, и онъ понесъ саранчу и бросилъ ее въ Чермное море, не осталось ни одной саранчи во всей странј Египетской!

20 Но Іегова ожесточилъ сердце Фараона, и онъ не отпустилъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ.

21 И сказалъ Іегова Моисею: простри руку твою къ небу, и будетъ тма на землј Египетской, осязаемая тма.

22 Моисей простеръ руку свою къ небу, и была густая тма по всей землј Египетской три дня.

23 Не видјли другъ друга, и никто не вставалъ съ мјста своего три дня; у всјхъ же сыновъ Израилевыхъ былъ свјтъ въ жилищахъ.

24 Фараонъ призвалъ Моисея, и сказалъ: подите, совершите служеніе Іеговј, пусть только останется мјлкій и крупный скотъ вашъ, а дјти ваши пусть идутъ съ вами.

25 Но Моисей сказалъ: дай также въ руки наши жертвы и всесожженія, чтобы принести Іеговј, Богу нашему.

26 Пусть пойдутъ и стада наши съ нами, не останется ни копыта; ибо изъ нихъ мы возмемъ на жертву Іеговј, Богу нашему; но доколј не придемъ туда, мы не знаемъ, что должны принести въ жертву Іеговј.

27 И ожесточилъ Іегова сердце Фараона, и онъ не захотјлъ отпустить ихъ.

28 И сказалъ ему Фараонъ: поди отъ меня; берегись, не являйся болје предъ лице мое, умрешь.

29 Моисей сказалъ: пусть будетъ, какъ ты сказалъ: я не явлюсь болје предъ лице твое.

7729. 'Not a hoof shall be left behind' means that nothing at all of the truth from good shall be lacking. This is clear from the meaning of 'a hoof' as truth from good, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'not being left behind' as not to be lacking, that is, from worship of the Lord. In the internal sense nearest to the literal 'not a hoof shall be left behind' means that nothing whatever shall be lacking, for the hoof is common to all livestock. But in the sense more internal than that 'a hoof means truth in the last degree - that is, truth on the level of the senses, which is the lowest - and in the contrary sense falsity. The reason why 'a hoof' has this meaning is that 'foot' means the natural, and 'sole of the foot' the last and lowest level of the natural, 2162, 3147, 3761, 3986, 4280, 4938-4952, 5327, 5728, much the same being meant by 'hoof' since it is the sole of the foot in the case of livestock. And because the last and lowest level of the natural is meant by 'hoof' as it is by 'sole', truth forming that level of the natural is also meant; for when the natural is spoken of, truth and good are meant, or in the contrary sense falsity and evil. The natural is formed from these, and without them is devoid of any attributes.

[2] The fact that 'hoof', in particular that of a horse, means truth in the last and lowest degree, that is, truth on the level of the senses, and in the contrary sense falsity belonging to the same degree, becomes clear from the following places: In Isaiah,

Whose arrows are sharp, and all bows bent. His horses' hoofs are considered as flint, his wheels as the whirlwind. Isaiah 5:18.

This refers to a people laying waste. 'Arrows' means ideas fired from false doctrine, which they use to fight with, and 'bow' the doctrine itself, 2686, 2709. 'Horses' means powers of understanding, in this instance perverted ones, 2761, 2762, 3117, 5321, 6125, 6534. Which shows what 'the hoofs' of the horses means, namely falsity in the last and lowest degree.

[3] In Jeremiah,

. . . because of the sound of the beat of the hoofs of his mighty ones, on account of the noise of his chariot, the rumble of his wheels. Jeremiah 47:3

This refers to a people laying the Philistines waste. 'The beat of the hoofs of his mighty ones', that is, of horses, stands for open conflict of falsity against truth. 'Chariot' stands for teachings maintaining falsity, for 'a chariot' means teachings that maintain either truth or falsity, see 5321, 5945.

[4] In Ezekiel,

By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust will cover you; by reason of the noise of horsemen, and wheels, and chariots, your walls will be shaken; by means of the hoofs of his horses he will trample all your streets. Ezekiel 26:10-11.

This refers to Nebuchadnezzar laying Tyre waste. 'Horses' stands for perverted powers of understanding, as above, 'horsemen' for concepts that go with that kind of understanding, 6534. 'The wheels' that the chariots have stands for the falsities that are taught, 'chariot' being such teaching, as above, while 'streets' stands for truths, 2336. From this it is evident that 'the hoofs of horses' stands for falsities. If such were not meant, what would be the point of the statement 'by reason of the abundance of his horses their dust will cover you; by reason of the noise of horsemen, and wheels, and chariots, your walls will be shaken; by means of the hoofs of his horses he will trample all your streets'? Without an inner meaning would they be anything more than empty sounds? In actual fact every expression used in the Word, being Divine in origin, carries weight.

[5] In the same prophet,

They will devastate the pride of Egypt, in order that its multitude may be destroyed. And I will destroy all its beasts over many waters, in order that the foot of man (homo) may not disturb them any more, nor the hoof of beast disturb them. Then I will turn their waters into a depth, 1 and cause their rivers to flow like oil. Ezekiel 32:12-14.

Nor are these details intelligible unless one knows what is meant by 'Egypt', by 'the foot of man', by 'the hoof of beast', by 'waters' over which beasts will be destroyed, which the foot of man and hoof of beast will disturb, and which will be turned into a depth. Waters and rivers of Egypt are collections of true factual knowledge, while 'the hoof of beast' is falsity on the last and lowest level of the natural that disturbs true factual knowledge.

[6] In Micah,

Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs bronze, in order that you may crush many peoples. Micah 4:13.

Nor can anyone know without the internal sense what these things are, that is, unless he knows what is meant by 'threshing', 'daughter of Zion', 'horn that will be made like iron', 'hoof that will be made like bronze', both of which will be used 'to crush many peoples'. 'Daughter of Zion' is the celestial Church, 1362; 'horn' is the power of truth that springs from good, 2832; 'iron' is natural truth that will have the ability to destroy falsities, 425, 426; 'hoof' is truth that springs from good in the last and lowest degree; and 'bronze' is natural good that will have power over evils, 425, 1551.

[7] In Zechariah,

I will raise up a shepherd in the land; he will not go 2 to [the sheep] that are to be cut off, he will not seek one tender in age, and he will not heal one that is maimed. 3 But he will eat the flesh of the fat, and tear apart their hoofs. Zechariah 11:16.

This refers to a stupid shepherd. 'Eating the flesh of the fat' stands for turning good into evil, 'tearing apart the hoofs' for turning truth into falsity.

[8] How superior in intelligence the ancients were to people at the present day becomes clear from the consideration that in regard to very many objects in the world they knew which realities in heaven they corresponded to, and therefore what their spiritual meanings were. This knowledge existed not only with those who belonged to the Church but also with those outside the Church, such as the people in Greece, the most ancient of whom employed images with spiritual meanings to depict those realities. But at the present day, since such meanings are entirely unknown, those images are called myths. Knowledge of such correspondences among the sages of old is evident from the fact that they spoke of a winged horse, which they called Pegasus, to depict the rise of intelligence and wisdom. With its hoof it broke open a fountain, at which there were nine virgins, and which was situated on a hill. For they knew that 'the horse' was a sign of the power of understanding, 'its wings' a sign of spirituality, 'its hoofs' a sign of the last and lowest degree of truth, which gave rise to intelligence, 'virgins' a sign of varieties of knowledge, 'hill' a sign of unanimity, and in the spiritual sense of charity, and so on with the rest. But such matters at the present day are some of those that are lost.
