7430.“这是神的手指”表这能力来自神性。这从“神的手指”的含义清楚可知，“神的手指”是指来自神性的能力。“手指”之所以表示能力，是因为手指是手的一部分，而“手”表示能力（参看878，4931-4937，6344，6424，6948节）。“手指或指头”表示能力，这一点也可从以下经文明显看出来：
我观看你指头所造的天，并你所陈设的月亮星宿。（诗篇8:3）
路加福音：
耶稣说，我若靠着神的手指赶鬼，这就是神的国临到你们了。（路加福音11:20）
马可福音：
耶稣领说话结巴的聋子离开百姓，就用指头探他的耳朵，吐唾沫抹他的舌头。（马可福音7:32-33）
这也是代表神性能力的行为。
“手指”代表能力，这一点也可从犹太人当中的教会仪式明显看出来，就是在拇指上抹血的仪式和祭司用手指头弹血的仪式；关于这两种仪式，经上在摩西五经中如此记着说：
你要宰这羊，取点血抹在亚伦和他儿子右手的大拇指上和右脚的大脚趾上。（出埃及记29:20）
利未记：
祭司要取些赎愆祭牲的血，祭司要抹在将要从大麻疯中洁净之人的右耳垂上和右手的大拇指上，并右脚的大脚趾上。祭司把右手指蘸在左手掌的油里，在耶和华面前用指头将油弹七次。祭司要将手掌里所剩的油，抹在那即将被洁净人的右耳垂上和右手的大拇指上，并右脚的大脚趾上，就是抹在赎愆祭牲的血上。（利未记14:14，16-17）
出埃及记：
要取些公牛的血，用指头抹在坛角上。（出埃及记29:12；利未记4:6；9:9）
所有这些仪式都表示天堂的秘密和神圣事物。这一点从以下事实清楚可知：圣言源于神性，一点一划都是被启示的（路加福音16:17），摩西五经中的这些细节也是如此。“拇指”和“手指”表示良善通过真理所行使的能力，这一点从刚才所引用经文的内义明显看出来。在诗篇，“手指”也表示能力：
耶和华是应当称颂的；祂教导我的手争战，教导我的指头打仗。（诗篇144:1）
以赛亚书：
祂必不观看祭坛，就是自己手所筑的，也不重看自己指头所做的。（以赛亚书17:8）
“祭坛”表示总体上的敬拜（4541节）；“手所筑的，指头所做的”是指诸如来自属人自己，因而属人自己能力之物的那类事物。

7430. This is the finger of God. That this signifies that the power was from the Divine, is evident from the signification of "the finger of God," as being power from the Divine; that "finger" denotes power is because the fingers belong to the hands, and by "hands" is signified power (see n. 878, 4931-4937, 6344, 6424, 6948). That "finger" denotes power, is evident also from the following passages:
When I behold the heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars which Thou hast prepared (Ps. 8:3). Jesus said, If I by the finger of God cast out demons, surely the kingdom of God is come unto you (Luke 11:20). That Jesus took the deaf man who had an impediment in his speech apart from the people, and put His finger into his ears, and spat, and touched his tongue (Mark 7:32-33);
was also a representative of Divine power. [2] That a finger represents power is plain also from the rites of the church among the Jews, in that blood should be put upon the thumb, and that the priest should sprinkle the blood with his finger, concerning which it is thus written in Moses:
Thou shalt kill the ram, and put of the blood upon the thumb of the hand of Aaron and his sons, and upon the great toe of their right foot (Exod. 29:20). The priest shall take of the blood of the guilt-offering, and the priest shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot. Afterward the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil which is upon the palm of his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before Jehovah; and of the rest of the oil, which is upon the palm of his hand, the priest shall put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot (Lev. 14:14, 16-17). Thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock, and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger (Exod. 29:12; Lev. 4:6; 9:9). [3] That all these things signified secrets of heaven and holy things, is evident from the fact that the Word is from the Divine, and is inspired as to every point [in the original] (Luke 16:17), thus also as to these details in Moses. That the "thumb" and the "finger" denote the power of good through truth, is here plain from the internal sense. Power is also signified by "finger" in David:
Blessed be Jehovah who teacheth my hands to fight, and my fingers war (Ps. 144:1);
And in Isaiah:
He shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, and that which his fingers have made (Isa. 17:8);
"altars" denote worship in general (n. 4541); "the work of the hands, and what the fingers have made" denote such things as are from what is man's own, thus which are from his own power.
7430a. And Pharaoh's heart was made firm. That this signifies obstinacy, see n. 7272.

7430. 'The finger of God is this' means that the power came from the Divine. This is clear from the meaning of 'the finger of God' as power from the Divine. The reason why 'finger' means power is that the fingers are parts of the hands, and by 'hands' is meant power, 878, 4931-4937, 6344, 6424, 6948. The meaning of 'finger' as power is clear from the following places also: In David,
When I look at the heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and stars which You have establisheda ... Ps 8:3
In Luke,
Jesus said, If I cast out demons by the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come to you. Luke 11:20.
When Jesus took aside from the people the deaf man who spoke with difficulty and put His finger into his ears, and spat and touched his tongue, Mark 7:32, 33, this too was an action representative of Divine power.[2] The fact that 'finger' represents power is also evident from rituals observed in the Church among the Jews, the ritual in which blood was put on the thumb, and the ritual in which the priest sprinkled blood with his finger, both commanded in the following places in Moses,
You shall slaughter the ram, and put some of the blood on the thumb of the right hand of Aaron and of his sons, and on the big toe of his right foot. Exod 29:20.
The priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt-offering, and the priest shall put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed from leprosy, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot. Then the priest shall dip his right finger in some of the oil which is on the palm of his left hand, and sprinkle some of the oil on his finger seven times before Jehovah. Some of the rest of the oil that is on his palm the priest shall put on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot. Lev 14:14, 16, 17.
You shall take some of the blood of the young bull, and place it with your finger on the horns of the altar. Exod 29:11.
Further places in which such rituals occur are Lev 4:6; 9:9.
[3] All these rituals served to mean the hidden and holy things of heaven. This is clear from the consideration that the Word has a Divine origin and is inspired as to every tittle, Luke 16:17; and this being so, 'thumb' and 'finger' mean the power of good exercised through truth, as is evident from their internal sense in the places just quoted. Power is again meant by 'finger' in David,
Blessed be Jehovah, who trains my hands for conflict, and my fingers for war. Ps 144:1
And in Isaiah,
He will not look to the altars, the work of his hands, and what his fingers have made. Isa 17:8.
'The altars' stands for worship in general, 4541, 'the work of hands' and 'what fingers have made' for the kinds of things that are the product of what is properly one's own, thus of one's own power.
[7430a 'And Pharaoh's heart was unyielding' means obstinacy, as above in 7272, 7300, 7305, 7412.]
Latin(1748-1756) 7430
7430. `Digitus Dei hoc': quod significet quod potentia ex Divino esset, constat ex significatione `digiti Dei' quod sit potentia a Divino; quod `digitus' sit potentia, est quia digiti sunt manuum, et per `manus' significatur potentia, {1} n. 878, 4931-4937, 6344, (x)6424, 6948. Quod `digitus' sit potentia, constat etiam ab his locis: {2} Quando aspicio caelos, opus digitorum Tuorum, lunam et stellas, quas praeparasti, Ps. viii 4 [A.V. 3]:apud Lucam, Jesus dixit, Si per digitum Dei ejicio daemonia, utique pervenit ad vos regnum Dei, xi 20. Quod Jesus assumpserit surdum aegre loquentem a populo seorsum, et injecerit digitum Suum in aures (c)illius, et (x)exspuens tetigerit linguam (c)illius, Marc. vii 32, 33, etiam repraesentativum potentiae Divinae fuit. 2 Quod `digitus' {3}repraesentet potentiam, patet quoque a ritualibus Ecclesiae apud Judaeos, quod sanguis mitteretur super pollicem, et quod sacerdos sanguinem digito {4}spargeret, de quibus ita apud Moschen, Mactabis arietem, et dabis de sanguine super pollicem manus Aharonis et filiorum ejus dextrae, et super pollicem pedis ejus dextri, Exod. xxix 20:
Accipiet sacerdos de sanguine reatus, et dabit sacerdos super auriculam auris mundandi a lepra dextrae, et super pollicem manus ejus dextrae, et super pollicem pedis ejus dextri. Dein intinget sacerdos digitum suum dextrum de oleo quod super vola illius sinistra, et sparget de oleo in digito septem vicibus coram Jehovah; de residuo olei quod super vola illius, dabit sacerdos super auriculam auris mundandi dextrae, et super pollicem manus ejus dextrae, et super pollicem pedis ejus dextri, Lev. xiv 14, 16, 17:
Sumes de sanguine juvenci, et dabis super cornua altaris digito tuo, Exod. xxix 12;
3 praeter etiam Lev. iv 6, ix 9; quod omnia illa significaverint arcana caeli, et sancta, constat ex eo quod Verbum sit a Divino, et quod inspiratum sit quoad unumquemvis apicem, Luc. xvi 17; ita quoque haec, {5}quod `pollex' et `digitus' sit potentia boni per verum, patet ibi a sensu interno. Etiam potentia per `digitum' significatur apud Davidem, Benedictus Jehovah docens manus meas pugnam, et digitos meos bellum, Ps. cxliv 1:
et apud Esaiam, Non respiciet ad altaria opus manuum suarum, et quod fecerunt digiti illius {6}, xvii 8;
`altaria' pro {7}cultu in genere, n. 4541; `opus manuum' et `quod fecerunt digiti' pro talibus quae ex proprio, ita {8}quae ex sua potentia. @1 i videatur$ @2 i apud Davidem$ @3 repraesentavit$ @4 spargerent$ @5 inde quod pollex super quo dabatur sanguis et oleum, et quod digitus, quo sacerdos sanguinem spargeret, significaverit arcanum quod sit potentia boni per verum, quae significata sit, patet$ @6 i non spectabit aut ad lucos aut statuas$ @7 omni cultu$ @8 pro potentia ex proprio$
