That has been pointed out in the great mission of the Hebrew people. When Moses, an Initiate of the Egyptian Mysteries, received those instructions from the Spiritual Guidance of the World which we were able to characterize with the words: “When thou speakest unto them of My laws, tell them that My Name is the ‘I AM,’” he was charged in these words: “Prepare them by pointing to the formless, invisible God. Point out that, while the Father-God is still active in the blood, the ‘I AM’ who is to descend even to the physical plane is prepared for those who can understand.” This was prepared, as it were, in the third cultural epoch. Out of the Hebrew people we see streaming forth the mission to deliver to humanity the God who then descended deeper into matter and appeared in the flesh. First He was prophesied, then later He appeared to the physical eyes in the flesh. Thus came to expression in the right sense what had been prepared by Moses.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"X.

Das wird uns angedeutet durch die große Mission des hebräischen Volkes. Als Moses, der in die ägyptischen Mysterien Eingeweihte, von der geistigen Weltenleitung jenen Auftrag bekam, den wir charakterisieren konnten mit den Worten: «Sage ihnen als meinen Namen, wenn du ihnen meine Gesetze sagst, ich bin der «Ich-bin»» (2. Mose 3, 14), da war ihm mit diesen Worten aufgetragen: Bereite sie vor, indem du auf den gestaltlosen, unsichtbaren Gott hindeutest. Weise darauf hin, daß - während der Vater-Gott noch in dem Blute wirkt - für diejenigen, die es verstehen können, vorbereitet wird das «Ich-bin», das dann bis in den physischen Plan hinuntersteigen soll! - Das wurde sozusagen innerhalb der dritten Kulturepoche veranlagt. Und aus dem hebräischen Volke sehen wir die Mission entströmen, den Gott der Menschheit zu übermitteln, der dann tiefer heruntersteigt, der im Fleische erscheint. Vorher ist er verkündigt worden, nachher ist er für das äußere Auge im Fleische erschienen. Damit ist im rechten Sinne zum Ausdruck gekommen, was durch Moses vorbereitet worden war.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":190,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/103/1908-05-30_02/p020"}],"english":["GA 103/1908-05-30_02/p013","GA 103/1908-05-30_02/p014"],"method":"embedding","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":286,"en_words":466,"ratio":1.63,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.06,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5133,"original_word_count":4820,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Maud B.
