The biblical story describes how Moses was found by the daughter of Pharaoh in the well-known box in which he was placed. Whether or not this is an accurate account need not be discussed further here. We are simply meant to be shown by this description that there were originally predisposed forces in this Moses that were destined to bring something quite new, a completely new kind of soul-disposition into the world. Therefore, it had to be shown symbolically that this soul, in which the germ of something new was, had to remain completely unaffected by its surroundings for a while, closed in on itself, and then placed in that environment from which the new was to be carried out. And now we are presented with facts that belong to the area I have characterized, where biblical history tells us what really happened physically in the outer world - [that area] where one can see [the events] with one's own eyes and follow them historically.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"IX.

Wir sollen durch diese Schilderung einfach darauf hingewiesen werden, daß in diesem Moses ursprünglich veranlagte Kräfte lagen, die dazu berufen waren, daß er etwas ganz Neues, eine ganz neue Art der Seelenverfassung in die Welt bringen konnte. Deshalb mußte sinnbildlich gezeigt werden, daß diese Seele, in der der Keim für erwas Neues war, zunächst für eine Weile ganz unbeeinflußt bleiben mußte von der Umgebung, in sich abgeschlossen war und dann hineingestellt wurde in jene Umgebung, aus der das Neue herausgetragen werden sollte.
