6770.出埃及记2:15-19.法老听见这事，就设法要杀摩西。摩西便从法老面前逃避，住在米甸地，住在井旁。米甸的祭司有七个女儿，她们来打水，打满了槽，要给她们父亲的羊群喝。有牧羊的人来把她们赶走了；摩西却起来帮助她们，又给她们的羊群喝。她们来到父亲流珥那里，他说，今日你们为何来得这么快呢？她们说，有一个埃及人救我们脱离牧羊人的手，并且为我们打水给羊群喝。
“法老听见这事，就设法要杀摩西”表虚假的记忆知识因发现这事，就想要毁灭从神来的律法所拥有的真理。“摩西便从法老面前逃避”表它与虚假分离。“住在米甸地”表教会里那些处于简单良善之人当中的生活。“住在井旁”表在那里对圣言的渴望。“米甸的祭司有七个女儿”表属于那教会的神圣事物。“她们来打水”表他们在来自圣言的真理上接受教导。“打满了槽”表他们从那里富有仁之教义。“要给她们父亲的羊群喝”表好叫那些处于良善的人能从那里接受教导。“有牧羊的人来把她们赶走了”表沉浸于邪恶的教导者反对他们。“摩西却起来帮助她们”表从神来的律法所拥有的真理带来的帮助。“又给她们的羊群喝”表那些处于良善的人从它接受教导。“她们来到父亲流珥那里”表与那教会良善本身的结合。“他说，今日你们为何来得这么快呢”表对现在确定结合的一种觉知。“她们说，有一个埃及人救我们脱离牧羊人的手”表因为依附于教会的真正记忆知识胜过了由邪恶所产生的虚假之教义的能力。“并且为我们打水”表他从圣言给予教导。“给羊群喝”表那些属那里的教会之人。

6770. Verses 15-19. And Pharaoh heard this word, and he sought to kill Moses. And Moses fled from before Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he dwelt by a well. And the priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came, and drew, and filled the troughs, to give drink to their father's flock. And the shepherds came, and drove them away; and Moses arose, and helped them; and he gave drink to their flock. And they came unto Reuel their father, and he said, Wherefore hasted ye to come today? And they said, An Egyptian man delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds; and also drawing he drew for us, and gave drink to the flock. "And Pharaoh heard this word, and he sought to kill Moses," signifies that false memory-knowledge, noticing this, willed to destroy the truth which is of the law from the Divine; "and Moses fled from before Pharaoh," signifies that it was being separated from falsities; "and dwelt in the land of Midian," signifies life in the church with those who are in simple good; "and he dwelt by a well," signifies study there in the Word; "and the priest of Midian had seven daughters," signifies the holy things of that church; "and they came, and drew," signifies that they were instructed in truths from the Word; "and filled the troughs," signifies that from this they enriched the doctrine of charity; "to give drink to their father's flock," signifies that thereby they who were in good were instructed; "and the shepherds came, and drove them away," signifies that the teachers who were in evils set themselves in opposition; "and Moses arose and helped them," signifies aid from the truths which are of the law from the Divine; "and he gave drink to their flock," signifies that from this they who are in good were instructed; "and they came unto Reuel their father," signifies conjunction with the good itself of that church; "and he said, Wherefore hasted ye to come today?" signifies perception that now conjunction was sure; "and they said, An Egyptian man delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds," signifies because true memory-knowledge, which is of the church, prevailed over the power of the doctrine of falsity from evil; "and also drawing he drew for us," signifies that he instructed from the Word; "and gave drink to the flock," signifies those who were of the church there.

6770. Verses 15-19 And Pharaoh heard of this matter and sought to kill Moses. And Moses fled from before Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he dwelt next to a well. And the priest of Midian had seven daughters; and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock. And the shepherds came and drove them away; and Moses rose up and helped them, and watered their flock. And they came to Reuel their father, and he said, Why have you hastened to come today? And they said, An Egyptian man delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds; and he even drew water for us, and watered the flock.
'And Pharaoh heard of this matter and sought to kill Moses' means that having discerned this matter false factual knowledge wished to destroy the truth which the law from God possessed. 'And Moses fled from before Pharaoh' means that it was separated from falsities. 'And dwelt in the land of Midian' means a life led in the Church among those in whom simple good was present. 'And he dwelt next to a well' means an eagerness there for the Word. 'And the priest of Midian had seven daughters' means holy things belonging to that Church. 'And they came and drew water' means that they received instruction in truths from the Word. 'And filled the troughs' means that from there they enriched teachings about charity. 'To water their flock' means to the end that those governed by good might receive instruction from there. 'And the shepherds came and drove them away' means that teachers steeped in evils set themselves against them. 'And Moses rose up and helped them' means aid brought by truths which the law from God possesses. 'And watered their flock' means that those governed by good received instruction from it. 'And they came to Reuel their father' means a joining to the actual good of that Church. 'And he said, Why have you hastened to come today?' means a perception that now it was a certain joining together. 'And they said, An Egyptian man delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds' means because true factual knowledge that was [attached] to the Church prevailed over the power of the teachings that presented falsity arising from evil. 'And he even drew water for us' means that the instruction it gave came from the Word. 'And watered the flock' means those who belonged to the Church there.

6770. Vers. 15-19. Et audivit Pharao verbum hoc, et quaesivit occidere Moschen; et figit Moscheh a coram Pharaone, et habitavit in terra Midian, et habitavit juxta puteum. Et sacerdoti Midianis septem filiae, et venerunt et hauserunt, et impleverunt canaliculos, ad potandum gregem patris sui. Et venerunt pastores, et depulerunt (x)illas; et surrexit Moscheh, et adjuvi tillas, et potavit gregem earum. Et venerunt ad (x)Reuelem patrem suum; et dixit, Quapropter festinastis venire hodie? Et dicebant, Vir Aegyptius liberavit nos e manu pastorum, et etiam hauriendo hausit nobis, et potavit gregem. `Et audivit Pharao verbum hoc, et quaesivit occidere Moschen' significat quod scientificum falsum eo appercepto destruere vellet verum quod legis a Divino: `et fugit Moscheh a coram Pharaone' significat quod separaretur a falsis: `et habitavit in terra Midian' significat vitam in Ecclesia apud illos qui in simplici bono: `et habitavit juxta puteum' significat studium ibi in Verbo: `et sacerdoti Midianis septem filiae' significat sancta Ecclesiae illius: `et venerunt et hauserunt' significat quod instruerentur in veris ex Verbo: `et impleverunt canaliculos' significat quod inde ditarent doctrinam charitatis: `ad potandum gregem suum' significat ut inde instruerentur illi qui in bono: `et venerunt pastores, et depulerunt (x)illas' significat {1}quod docentes qui in malis, se opponerent: `et surrexit Moscheh, et adjuvit (x)illas' significat opem a veris quae legis a Divino: `et potavit gregem earum' significat quod instruerentur inde qui in bono: `et venerunt ad (x)Reuelem patrem suum' significat conjunctionem cum ipso Ecclesiae illius bono: `et dixit, Quapropter festinastis venire hodie?' significat perceptionem quod nunc certa conjunctio: `et dicebant, Vir Aegyptius liberavit nos e manu pastorum' (x) significat quia verum scientificum quod Ecclesiae [adjunctum], valuit supra potentiam doctrinae falsi ex malo: `et etiam hauriendo hausit nobis' significat quod ex Verbo instrueret: `et potavit gregem' significat illos qui ab Ecclesia ibi{2}. @1 After malis, but cp n. 6779.$ @2 I adds the signification of v 20, which does not belong here. It is repeated in n. 6787.$
