学习

   

1 Inalagaan nga ni Moises ang kawan ni Jethro na kaniyang biyanan, na saserdote sa Madian: at kaniyang pinatnubayan ang kawan sa likuran ng ilang, at napasa bundok ng Dios, sa Horeb.

2 At ang anghel ng Panginoon ay napakita sa kaniya, sa isang ningas ng apoy na mula sa gitna ng isang mababang punong kahoy; at siya'y nagmasid, at, narito, ang kahoy ay nagniningas sa apoy, at ang kahoy ay hindi natutupok.

3 At sinabi ni Moises, Ako'y liliko ngayon, at titingnan ko itong dakilang panoorin, kung bakit ang kahoy ay hindi natutupok.

4 At nang makita ng Panginoon na panonoorin niya, ay tinawag siya ng Dios mula sa gitna ng mababang punong kahoy, at sinabi, Moises, Moises. At kaniyang sinabi, Narito ako.

5 At sinabi, Huwag kang lumapit dito, hubarin mo ang iyong panyapak sa iyong mga paa, sapagka't ang dakong iyong kinatatayuan ay banal na lupa.

6 Bukod dito ay sinabi, Ako ang Dios ng iyong ama ang Dios ni Abraham, ang Dios ni Isaac, at ang Dios ni Jacob. At si Moises nga ay nagtakip ng kaniyang mukha; sapagka't siya'y natakot na tumingin sa Dios.

7 At sinabi ng Panginoon, Akin ngang nakita ang kadalamhatian ng aking bayan na nasa Egipto, at aking dininig ang kanilang daing dahil sa mga tagapagpaatag sa kanila; sapagka't talastas ko ang kanilang kapanglawan.

8 At ako'y bumaba upang iligtas sila sa kamay ng mga Egipcio at upang sila'y isampa sa isang mabuting lupain at malawak, mula sa lupaing yaon, sa isang lupaing binubukalan ng gatas at pulot sa dako ng Cananeo, at ng Hetheo, at ng Amorrheo, at ng Pherezeo, at ng Heveo at ng Jebuseo.

9 At ngayon narito, ang daing ng mga anak ni Israel ay umabot sa akin; saka aking nakita ang kapighatian na ipinipighati sa kanila ng mga Egipcio.

10 Halika nga ngayon, at ikaw ay aking susuguin kay Faraon, upang iyong ilabas sa Egipto ang aking bayan na mga anak ni Israel.

11 At sinabi ni Moises sa Dios, Sino ako, upang pumaroon kay Faraon, at upang ilabas sa Egipto ang mga anak ni Israel?

12 At kaniyang sinabi, Tunay na ako'y sasaiyo; at ito'y magiging tanda sa iyo, na ikaw ay aking sinugo: pagka iyong nailabas na sa Egipto ang bayan ay maglilingkod kayo sa Dios sa bundok na ito.

13 At sinabi ni Moises sa Dios, Narito, pagdating ko sa mga anak ni Israel, at sasabihin ko sa kanila, Sinugo ako sa inyo ng Dios ng inyong mga magulang; at sasabihin nila sa akin: Ano ang kaniyang pangalan? anong sasabihin ko sa kanila?

14 At sinabi ng Dios kay Moises, AKO YAONG AKO NGA; at kaniyang sinabi, Ganito ang sasabihin mo sa mga anak ni Israel, Sinugo ako sa inyo ni AKO NGA.

15 At sinabi pa ng Dios kay Moises, Ganito ang sasabihin mo sa mga anak ni Israel, Sinugo ako sa inyo ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng inyong mga magulang, ng Dios ni Abraham, ng Dios ni Isaac, at ng Dios ni Jacob: ito ang aking pangalan magpakailan man, at ito ang aking pinakaalaala sa lahat ng mga lahi.

16 Yumaon ka at tipunin mo ang mga matanda sa Israel, at sabihin mo sa kanila, Ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng inyong mga magulang, ang Dios ni Abraham, ni Isaac, at ni Jacob; ay napakita sa akin, na nagsasabi, tunay na kayo'y aking dinalaw, at aking nakita ang ginagawa sa inyo sa Egipto.

17 At aking sinabi, Aking aalisin kayo sa kapighatian sa Egipto at dadalhin ko kayo, sa lupain ng Cananeo, at ng Hetheo, at ng Amorrheo, at ng Pherezeo, at ng Heveo, at ng Jebuseo, sa isang lupaing binubukalan ng gatas at pulot.

18 At kanilang didinggin ang iyong tinig: at ikaw ay paroroon, ikaw at ang mga matanda sa Israel, sa hari sa Egipto, at inyong sasabihin sa kaniya, Ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng mga Hebreo, ay nakipagtagpo sa amin: at ngayo'y pahintulutan mo kami na maglakbay, na tatlong araw sa ilang, upang kami ay makapaghain sa Panginoon naming Dios.

19 At talastas ko, na hindi kayo pababayaang yumaon ng hari sa Egipto, kung hindi sa pamamagitan ng isang makapangyarihang kamay.

20 At aking iuunat ang aking kamay, at sasaktan ko ang Egipto ng aking buong kababalaghan na aking gagawin sa gitna niyaon at pagkatapos niyaon ay pahihintulutan niya kayong yumaon.

21 At pagkakalooban ko ang bayang ito ng biyaya sa paningin ng mga Egipcio: ay mangyayari, na pagyaon ninyo, ay hindi kayo yayaong walang dala:

22 Kundi bawa't babae ay hihingi sa kaniyang kapuwa, at sa tumatahan sa kaniyang bahay, ng mga hiyas na pilak, at mga hiyas na ginto at mga damit: at inyong ipagsusuot sa inyong mga anak na lalake at babae; at inyong sasamsaman ang mga Egipcio.

4289. 'Let me go, for the dawn is coming up' means that the genuine representative role would depart from the descendants of Jacob before they entered into the representatives connected with the land of Canaan. This becomes clear from the train of thought in the internal historical sense in which the descendants of Jacob are the subject. Their state in regard to things of the Church is also described in the Word as evening, night, and morning or dawn - dawn being used to describe the time when they entered the land of Canaan and as a consequence into that which was a representative of the Church in that land. The implications of this are as follows: A representative of the Church could not be established among them until they had been completely vastated, that is, until no knowledge of internal things existed with them. For if knowledge of internal things had existed with them it would have been possible for them to have an affection for them, in which case they would have profaned them. For the ability to profane holy things, that is, internal truths and goods, exists with those who know and acknowledge them, more so with those who have an affection for them, but not with those who do not acknowledge them. But see what has been stated and shown already about profanation:

People who know and acknowledge holy things are able to profane them, but not those who do not know and acknowledge them, 593, 1008, 1010, 1059, 3398, 3898.

People inside the Church are capable of profaning holy things, but not those outside, 2051.

Therefore all who are unable to remain steadfast in goodness and truth are kept as far as possible from an acknowledgement of and faith in them, 3398, 3402; and they are kept in ignorance to prevent their profanation of them, 301-303.

What danger comes from profaning holy things, 571, 582.

Worship becomes external to prevent what is internal being profaned, 1327, 1328.

Therefore internal truths were not disclosed to the Jews, 3398.

[2] The Lord therefore made provision so that anything genuinely representative of the Church, that is, any internal representation of it, would have departed from the descendants of Jacob before they entered into the representatives connected with the land of Canaan. It so departed that they did not know anything at all about the Lord. They knew, it is true, that the Messiah was to come into the world, but they supposed that the reason for His coming would be to promote them to glory and pre-eminence over all nations in the whole world, but not that He would save their souls for ever. Neither indeed did they know anything whatever about the heavenly kingdom, nor anything about the life after death, nor even anything about charity and faith. To reduce them to such ignorance they were kept for several centuries in Egypt, and when summoned from there did not even know the actual name Jehovah, Exodus 3:12-14. What is more, they had lost all the worship of the representative Church, so much so that a month after the Ten Commandments had been publicly declared in their presence from mount Sinai they reverted to Egyptian worship, which was that of the golden calf, Exodus 32.

[3] And this being the nature of the nation which had been brought out of Egypt they all died in the wilderness. For nothing more was required of them than to keep ordinances and commands in the outward form these took, because to keep these in their outward form was to play the part of a representative of the Church. Those who had grown up in Egypt however could not be fitted for that part, but their children could, though with difficulty, at first by means of miracles and after that by terrors and captivities, as is evident from the Books of Joshua and Judges. From this it becomes clear that the entire genuine or internal representative of the Church had departed from them before they entered the land of Canaan where the full form of an external representative of the Church was begun among them; for the land of Canaan was the actual land where the representatives of the Church could be introduced. For all the places and all the boundaries had, since ancient times, been representative in that land, see 3686.
