1 Но Іегова сказалъ Моисею: смотри, Я поставлю тебя богомъ Фараону; а Ааронъ, братъ твой, будетъ твоимъ пророкомъ.

2 Ты будешь говорить все, что Я повелю тебј: а Ааронъ братъ твой будетъ говорить Фараону, чтобы онъ отпустилъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ изъ земли своей.

3 Но Я ожесточу сердце Фараоново, и явлю множество знаменій Моихъ въ землј Египетской.

4 Фараонъ не послушаетъ васъ, и Я простру руку Мою на Египетъ. И чрезъ великіе суды выведу воинство Мое, народъ Мой, сыновъ Израилевыхъ изъ земли Египетской.

5 Тогда узнаютъ Египтяне, что Я Іегова, когда простру руку Мою на Египетъ; и выведу сыновъ Израилевыхъ изъ среды ихъ.

6 Такъ и сдјлалъ Моисей и Ааронъ; какъ повелјлъ имъ Іегова, такъ они и сдјлали.

7 Моисей былъ осмидесяти лјтъ, а Ааронъ осмидесяти трехъ лјтъ, когда начали говорить они Фараону.

8 И сказалъ Іегова Моисею и Аарону, говоря:

9 если Фараонъ скажетъ вамъ: сдјлайте чудо: то ты скажи Аарону: возьми посохъ свой, и брось предъ Фараономъ: онъ сдјлается зміемъ.

10 Моисей и Ааронъ пришли къ Фараону, и сдјлали такъ, какъ повелјлъ Іегова; и бросилъ Ааронъ посохъ свой предъ Фараономъ, и предъ рабами его, и онъ сдјлался змјемъ.

11 И призвалъ Фараонъ мудрецовъ и чародјевъ; и сдјлали сіи тайновјдцы Египетскіе тоже своими обаяніями.

12 Каждый изъ нихъ бросилъ свой посохъ, и они сдјлались змјями; но посохъ Аароновъ поглотилъ ихъ посохи.

13 Сердце Фараоново ожесточилось, и онъ не послушалъ ихъ, такъ какъ и говорилъ Іегова.

14 И сказалъ Іегова Моисею: упорно сердце Фараоново, онъ не хочетъ отпустить народъ.

15 Поди къ Фараону завтра: вотъ онъ пойдетъ къ водј, ты встрјть его на берегу рјки. Посохъ же, который превращался въ змјя, возьми въ руку твою.

16 И скажи ему: Іегова, Богъ Евреевъ, послалъ меня къ тебј, сказать: отпусти народъ Мой, чтобы онъ совершилъ Мнј служеніе въ пустынј: но вотъ, ты доселј непослушенъ.

17 Такъ говорить Іегова: изъ сего узнаешь, что Я Іегова: вотъ симъ посохомъ, который въ рукј моей, я ударю по водамъ, которыя въ рјкј, и онј превратятся въ кровь.

18 И рыба въ рјкј помретъ, и рјка возсмердйтъ, и для Египтянъ тяжело будетъ пить воду изъ рјки.

19 И сказалъ Іегова Моисею: скажи Аарону: возьми посохъ твой, и простри руку твою на воды Египтянъ: на рјки ихъ, на потоки ихъ, на озера ихъ и на всякое собраніе водъ ихъ; и превратятся въ кровь, и будетъ кровь по всей землј Египетской ,и въ деревј и въ камнј.

20 Такъ и сдјлали Моисей и Ааронъ, какъ повелјлъ Іегова. И поднялъ Ааронъ посохъ, и ударилъ по водамъ рјки предъ глазами Фараона и предъ глазами рабовъ его, и вся вода въ рјкј превратилась въ кровь.

21 И рыба въ рјкј померла, и рјка возсмердјла: и Египтяне не могли пить воды изъ рјки, и была кровь по всей землј Египетской.

22 И тайновјдцы Египетскіе обаяніями своими сдјлали тоже. И ожесточилось сердце Фараона, и не послушалъ ихъ, такъ какъ и говорилъ Іегова.

23 И оборотился Фараонъ, и пошелъ въ свой домъ; и сердце его не тронулось симъ.

24 И стали копать всј Египтяне около рјки, чтобы найдти воду для питья, потому что не могли пить воды изъ рјки.

25 И исполнилось семь дней послј того, какъ Іегова поразилъ рјку.

7343. 'And all the Egyptians dug round about the river for water to drink' means searching out truth which they could apply to falsities. This is clear from the meaning of 'digging' as searching out, dealt with below; from the meaning of 'water round about the river' as truths (the reason why 'water round about the river' is truths is that this water was outside the river and had not become blood; for the meaning of 'water' as truths, see 739, 790, 2702, 3058, 3424, 4976, 5668); and from the meaning of 'drinking' as applying to falsities. For the meaning of 'drinking' as applying, see 5709; for anyone who drinks something applies it to himself. But it should be recognized that the nature of the application when it takes place is determined by the character and state of the one who applies that thing to himself. A person with an affection for truth applies truths to himself in accordance with the state and character of this affection; but a person with an affection for falsity perverts and falsifies truths when he applies them to himself. This may be seen from the consideration that Divine Truth flows into everyone, yet is varied with each individual according to the state and character of his life. Those in hell therefore turn it into falsities, just as they turn Divine Good into evil, heavenly forms of love into devilish ones, mercy into hatred and cruelty, conjugial love into adultery. Thus they turn things into their opposites, which they do because of the opposite character and state of their life. This now explains why 'all the Egyptians dug round about the river for water [to drink]' means searching out truths which they could apply to falsities.

[2] The fact that among those steeped in falsities and evils truth is turned into falsity and good into evil, and also vice versa, is evident from the proverbial saying that to the pure all things are pure, and to the impure all things are impure. This may also be illustrated by natural phenomena, for instance by the light coming from the sun. The light is white, but the objects it flows into convert it into colours. It is made beautiful by objects that are beautiful, and ugly by those that are ugly. The same proverb may also be illustrated by the grafting of branches into trees. A branch grafted into the trunk bears its own fruit, and therefore the sap of the tree, as soon as it passes into the engrafted branch, Is varied. It now becomes the branch's sap, suited to the production of its leaves and fruit. The situation is similar with the things that enter a human being.

[3] The reason why 'digging' means searching out is that 'water', 'spring', and 'well' which are dug out mean truths, which are not dug out but searched out. This is why in the original language this same word, when it is used in connection with truths, also means to search for. In prophetical statements however either 'water' or 'spring' is used instead of truth, and 'digging' instead of searching for; for this is what prophetic language is like, as is evident in Moses, where the spring at Beer is referred to, about which Israel sang this song,

Rise up, O spring! Answer over it! The well 1 which the princes dug, which the chiefs of the people dug out, as directed by the lawgiver, with their staves. Numbers 21:16-18.

Here 'spring' means teachings presenting God's truth, 'digging' means searching for it.
