Printable ModeExod 12:29
|
12:29 La miezul-noptii, Domnul a lovit pe toti intaii nascuti din tara Egiptului, de la intaiul-nascut al lui Faraon, care sedea pe scaunul lui de domnie, pana la intaiul-nascut al celui inchis in temnita, si pana la toti intaii-nascuti ai dobitoacelor. La miezul noptii. Literal, ,,la jumatatea noptii”. Desi ziua era cunoscuta pentru izraeliti, ea nu fusese anuntata regelui, si aceasta nesiguranta trebuie sa se fi adaugat la nelinistea lui. Cand Moise plecase de la regele cel darz, fiecarui curtean fara indoiala ca ii era teama de perspectiva pierderii intaiului lui nascut. Totusi, dupa ce au trecut mai multe zile fara ca amenintarea sa se implineasca, multi, poate chiar si regele insusi, au putut sa cugete ca asa ceva nu avea sa se intample. Cu toate acestea, trebuie sa fi fost mereu actuala teama ca cuvantul lui Moise putea sa fie adevarat. Intaiul nascut al lui Faraon. Daca Amenhotep II a fost Faraonul Exodului (vezi Introducerea), cel care a fost omorat in timpul noptii de groaza a fost fiul cel mai mare al lui, fratele succesorului sau, Thutmose IV. Nu exista nici o relatare nebiblica asupra acestui eveniment; de fapt, vechii egipteni au trecut sub tacere orice experienta umilitoare. Cu toate acestea, Thutmose IV a lasat o dovada concludenta despre moartea neasteptata a fratelui sau si propria inaltare la rangul de print de coroana. Stela Sfinxului din Giza arata ca el a indepartat nisipul de pe acel monument vechi, ca recunostinta pentru neasteptata numire divina pe care a primit-o la umbra lui. In inscriptie el spune despre o vanatore prin apropiere de Sfinx intr-una din zile. In timp ce isi facea siesta la umbra lui, acest ,,mare zeu” (Sfinxul) i-a aparut intr-o vedenie si i-a vorbit asa cum se adreseaza un tata catre fiul sau, descoperindu-i ca el avea sa fie viitorul rege al Egiptului. Faptul ca acest incident este raportat pe o piatra de monument arata ca Thutmose IV nu fusese desemnat de la inceput ca print de coroana, si nici el nu se asteptase sa devina rege. El mai descopera si ca a atribuit inaltarea sa pe tron interventiei divine. Desi fratele sau mai mare, printul de coroana nu este amintit, nu exista nici o indoiala printre cei ce cunosc inscriptiile egiptene ca fiu mai mare al lui Amenhotep II i s-a intamplat ceva neobisnuit acestui nementionat. Nu ne putem astepta la un raspuns satisfacator de la rapoartele egiptene cu privire la ce s-a intamplat cu acest tanar. Doar presupunand ca Amenhotep II a fost Faraonul Exodului, moartea fiului sau mai mare in timpul plagii a zecea ar avea ca rezultat inaltarea fiului mai tanar, Thutmose IV de mai tarziu, ca mostenitor evident al tronului. Pentru a evita atribuirea inaltarii sale unui dezastru adus de Dumnezeul evreilor asupra tarii sale, Thutmose IV a putut sa inventeze si sa publice povestea unei presupuse vedenii ceresti. Succesiunea regala nereglementara era de obicei explicata ca o astfel de interventie din partea marilor zei egipteni. Cand Hatshepsut a urmat tatalui ei pe tron, anuntul facut a fost ca o nascuse zeul Amen si i-a poruncit sa fie stapana Egiptului. Cand Thutmose III, fara drept regal la tron, a fost proclamat rege in timpul unei revolte la templu, a fost publicat pe calea autoritatii un decret special al zeului Amen pentru succesiunea nereglementara a lui. Intaiul nascut al celui inchis. Expresia aceasta este paralela cu aceea din cap. 11,5, ,,intaiul nascut al roabei care sta la rasnita”. In ambele cazuri, intelesul general este ca au suferit toate clasele poporului, de la cel mai mare pana la cel mai mic. Totusi, si aceasta este adevarat, in unele cazuri robii erau folositi ca lucratori la rasnita (Judecatori 16,21) Intaii nascuti ai dobitoacelor. Cuvantul tradus aici ,,vite” (in engleza) cuprinde ,,animalele”, in general ca in Levitic 11,2, unde acelasi cuvant ebraic a fost redat mult timp mai bine prin ,,animale”.

Special note for ANDROID SmartPhones
I recommend to download PhoneMe emulator for Android from here.
Especially I recommend phoneME Advanced - Foundation Profile + MIDP High Resolution b168 rev20547 from here, or from here.
Then you have to build your application, to transfer the .jar and .jad files on your mobile phone and run using this nice emulator.
1. Install a Zip Utility from Android Market.
2. Install a File Manager from Android Market.
3. Download and install PhoneMe, as mentioned above.
4. Build your application by using Download Multilingual Service or Dynamic Download (zip).
5. Copy the zip file into your Android Phone and unzip the content in a folder, and then write down the path to the unzipped files and the name of the .jad file.
6. Launch PhoneMe from your smartphone.
7. Inside PhoneMe, write to the main window the path and the name to the .jad file, above mentioned. Will look something like: file:///mnt/sd/download/BiblePhone.jad and then press enter.
8. The application will be installed, and next a hyperlink will be available below the above mentioned textbox. On this way you can install as many of MIDP application you like on your Android Phone.
How to install the application in Java Mobile enabled phones
It is possible now to have the Holy Scriptures on your mobile phone and to read
it wherever you are due to the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP)
technology in 1.0 and 2.0 versions, developed for Java applications.
A good advice is to try in the beginning the MIDP 1.0 / 128 Kbytes version, and
progressively to advance to MIDP 2.0 and larger volumes (512 Kbytes or more).
The application is available for MIDP 2.0, MIDP 1.0. You have only to select one
table on the field MIDP2.0 or MIDP1.0, according to the desired Bible version.
Then, you shall make a click on the JAR (Java Archive) file in order to obtain
the software to be installed on your mobile phone.
I recommend you to start with STARTER(MIDP1.0old) edition, then to continue with
INTERMEDIATE(MIDP1.0), and in the end, if the mobile phone supports this thing,
to try to install the ADVANCED (MIDP2.0) edition. Also, start with 128 kbytes
volumes, continue with 512 kbytes, and at the end try the version in one file.
There are cases where the mobile phone requires so called JAD (Java Descriptor)
files. These JAD files has to be
uploaded, on this case, together with the desired JAR files(s).
There are different methods to download the applications in your mobile phone as
follows:
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
5. If none from the above cases are valid
Next, we shall examine each case in order to have a successfully installation of
the software.
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
If your have Internet access on your mobile phone (e.g. WAP or GPRS), it is
enough to access
https://biblephone.intercer.net/wap/ from the browser of the mobile phone,
and to access the desired Bible version, and then to make an option about
MIDP1.0 or MIDP2.0, and finally to select the desired module (e.g. one or more).
After the last selection, the desired version will be downloaded on your mobile
phone.
Many phones have only this option for installing JAVA appplications.
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
If you don't have access to Internet directly from your mobile phone, then you
shall have to pass to this step requiring to have infrared ports on your mobile
phone and on the computer.
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to activate the infrared port on the mobile phone and align it with the infrared
port of the computer (preferable laptop).
c. Then a window will appear asking what file you want to send to the mobile
phone. Next, you will select the downloaded JAR file, and after OK, the mobile
phone will ask you if you want to load that file. You say YES and the
application will be downloaded on your mobile phone.
d. Probably, you will be asked by the mobile phone where you want to save it (e.g.
on the games or applications directories). After you made this selection, the
file will be ready to be loaded for run.
The displaying preference can be set inside the application in order to have
larger fonts, full screen display etc.
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
This situation is similar with the infrared case. You have only to activate
Bluetooth access on your mobile phone (check if exists) and on the computer (check
if exists).
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific
mobile phones.
On this case the steps are as follows:
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to set up the wired connection between the mobile phone and the computer. Next,
you will start the synchronization / data transfer application and download the
JAR file in your mobile phone. Surely, you will have to consult the CD of your
mobile phone.
c. By this application you shall transfer into your mobile phone the JAR file in
the games or applications directories. Next, you will have to select for run the
JAR desired file.
5. If none from the above cases are valid
On this unhappy case, I recommend you to find a friend with a laptop having
infrared / Bluetooth capabilities, or to buy a data link cable, or to change
your current model of mobile phone.
Unfortunately, some models of mobile phones require only WAP/GPRS in order to
download and run Java applications.
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones. Therefore check the documentation of them and also the page for specific
models.
Why so many versions? Simple, because not all the mobile phones support the
Bible in one file with MIDP 2.0 (the most advanced for the time being).
