1 Y apacentando Moisés las ovejas de Jetro su suegro, sacerdote de Madián, llevó las ovejas detrás del desierto, y vino a Horeb, monte de Dios.

2 Y se le apareció el Angel del SEÑOR en una llama de fuego en medio de un zarzal; y él miró, y vio que el zarzal ardía en fuego, y el zarzal no se consumía.

3 Entonces Moisés dijo: Iré yo ahora, y veré esta grande visión, por qué causa el zarzal no se quema.

4 Y viendo el SEÑOR que iba a ver, lo llamó Dios de en medio del zarzal, y dijo: ¡Moisés, Moisés! Y él respondió: Heme aquí.

5 Y dijo: No te llegues acá; quita tus zapatos de tus pies, porque el lugar en que tú estás, tierra santa es .

6 Y dijo: Yo soy el Dios de tu padre, Dios de Abraham, Dios de Isaac, Dios de Jacob. Entonces Moisés cubrió su rostro, porque tuvo miedo de mirar a Dios.

7 Y dijo el SEÑOR: Bien he visto la aflicción de mi pueblo que está en Egipto, y he oído su clamor a causa de sus exactores; por lo cual yo he entendido sus dolores.

8 Y he descendido para librarlos de mano de los egipcios; yo los sacaré de aquella tierra a una tierra buena y ancha, a tierra que fluye leche y miel, a los lugares del cananeo, del heteo, del amorreo, del ferezeo, del heveo, y del jebuseo.

9 El clamor, pues, de los hijos de Israel ha venido ahora delante de mí, y también he visto la opresión con que los egipcios los oprimen.

10 Ven por tanto ahora, y te enviaré al Faraón, para que saques a mi pueblo, los hijos de Israel, de Egipto.

11 Entonces Moisés respondió a Dios: ¿Quién soy yo, para que vaya al Faraón, y saque de Egipto a los hijos de Israel?

12 Y él le respondió: Porque yo seré contigo; y esto te será por señal de que yo te he enviado: luego que hubieres sacado este pueblo de Egipto, serviréis a Dios sobre este monte.

13 Y dijo Moisés a Dios: He aquí que llego yo a los hijos de Israel, y les digo: El Dios de vuestros padres me ha enviado a vosotros; y si ellos me preguntan: ¿Cuál es su nombre? ¿Qué les responderé?

14 Y respondió Dios a Moisés: YO SOY El que Soy. Y dijo: Así dirás a los hijos de Israel: YO SOY (YHWH ) me ha enviado a vosotros.

15 Y dijo más Dios a Moisés: Así dirás a los hijos de Israel: El SEÑOR Dios de vuestros padres, el Dios de Abraham, Dios de Isaac y Dios de Jacob, me ha enviado a vosotros. Este es mi Nombre para siempre, y este es mi memorial por todos los siglos.

16 Ve, y junta los ancianos de Israel, y diles: El SEÑOR Dios de vuestros padres, el Dios de Abraham, de Isaac, y de Jacob, se me apareció, diciendo: De cierto os he visitado, y visto lo que se os hace en Egipto;

17 y he dicho: Yo os haré subir de la aflicción de Egipto a la tierra del cananeo, y del heteo, y del amorreo, y del ferezeo, y del heveo, y del jebuseo, a una tierra que fluye leche y miel.

18 Y oirán tu voz; e irás tú, y los ancianos de Israel, al rey de Egipto, y le diréis: El SEÑOR Dios de los hebreos, nos ha encontrado; por tanto nosotros iremos ahora camino de tres días por el desierto, para que sacrifiquemos al SEÑOR nuestro Dios.

19 Mas yo sé que el rey de Egipto no os dejará ir sino por mano fuerte.

20 Pero yo extenderé mi mano, y heriré a Egipto con todas mis maravillas que haré en él, y entonces os dejará ir.

21 Y yo daré a este pueblo gracia en los ojos de los egipcios, para que cuando os partiereis, no salgáis vacíos;

22 sino que demandará cada mujer a su vecina y a su huéspeda vasos de plata, vasos de oro, y vestidos, los cuales pondréis sobre vuestros hijos y vuestras hijas, y despojaréis a Egipto.

6907. 'That the king of Egypt will not allow you to go' means that falsity will set itself in opposition. This is clear from the meaning of 'not allowing you' as setting itself in opposition, for he who does not allow something when it is said to be a Divine command, 6903, and he who refuses to let someone worship God, sets himself in opposition, as is common among all those who are under the influence of falsity of which they have become firmly convinced; from the representation of Pharaoh or 'the king of Egypt' as falsity, dealt with in 6651, 6679, 6683; and from the meaning of 'to go' - that is to say, a three days' journey into the wilderness to sacrifice to Jehovah God - as to lead a life in keeping with truth in a state totally removed from falsities, and in so doing to worship the Lord, 6904.

[2] The situation when those under the influence of falsity, who are represented by 'the king of Egypt', set themselves against those guided by truths must be described. In the world those under the influence of falsity do not openly set themselves in opposition to those who are guided by truth, for they are held back from doing so by external restraints, which consist in the fear that others may see them as people who behave contrary to the laws of state and Church, in which case they would not seem to be good citizens. For everyone wishes the world to see him as righteous and true in outward appearance, and the wicked desire this more than the upright, in order that they may captivate people's minds and mislead them for reasons of gain and exalted positions. But inwardly they set themselves in opposition, for as often as they hear anyone proclaiming the truths of the Church not because it is his job to do so but because he loves them passionately, they laugh to themselves; and if at that time there were no external restraints to prevent them they would openly deride him. When such people enter the next life they are no longer held back by external restraints, since these are taken away from them in order that what each person is really like may be exposed to view. Then they openly set themselves in opposition to those who are guided by truths and molest them in every possible way; and this is now for them the absolute delight of their life. And when they are warned not to do such things because if they do not desist they will at length be removed completely and thrust down into hell, they nevertheless take no notice at all and carry on constantly with their molestation as before; for such is the strength of the delight they feel in living in accord with falsity. It takes them over so completely that they accept nothing whatever that makes for intelligence. These are the things that are meant by 'the king of Egypt will not allow you to go' and that are represented by Pharaoh's setting himself in opposition so many times. The removal of such spirits and the thrusting down of them into hell is represented by the destruction of Pharaoh and the Egyptians in the Sea Suph.

[3] Those who lead an evil life and are consequently under the influence of falsity see by the light of the world, since it is the light in which a person sees things with his understanding. With those who are under the influence of falsity arising from evil this light is glowing; and the more they are under the influence of falsity arising from evil, the brighter it glows. The glory of the world, which has its origin in self-love, is what ignites it and gives it its glow. This being so, those people see truths in that light as nothing but falsities, and falsities as nothing but truths. The reason for this is that this light's rays cannot be infused with heavenly light; with that kind of light heavenly light becomes thick darkness. This is why such people believe firmly but wrongly in falsities as against truths, for this is how that inferior light leads them to see falsities and truths in relation to each other. With those however who are guided by truths that spring from good the light of the world is not glowing but dim, while the light of heaven is with them brightly shining. And because it is brightly shining, truths in that light look like truths, and falsities like falsities. For when that light falls onto falsities, which look like truths in the light of the world separated from the light of heaven, it does not merely dim them but altogether blots them out. This light - the light of heaven - becomes gradually brighter and brighter with them, till at length it is so bright that the light of the world cannot be compared with it. From all this one may see why those who are steeped in falsities arising from evil set themselves, because of the great strength of their wrong belief, in opposition to those guided by truths, an opposition which has been described just above.
