With this, he stood at a point where the old culture, in relation to the human soul, was to merge into a completely new culture. This was a transition over an abyss of human culture, as if the world powers had said: In the future, intellectuality must prevail, and those who want to continue the old ways are heading for decline. We must cross over this abyss. Moses might have said this to himself. And so the followers of Moses felt that the transition over a cosmic world abyss had been won. That is why the followers of Moses celebrated the Passover, the festival of the transition over a world abyss, in memory of this act of Moses. Oh, these ancient festivals, which today we are accustomed to celebrating in such a trivial way, relate to great mysteries of the existence of the world. Now when Moses, endowed with the power for thousands of years, came to the court of Pharaoh, it is no wonder that this Pharaoh, who had grown out of the old Hellschic culture of Egypt, could not understand the signs that Moses displayed before him.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"IX.

Damit stand er an einem Punkt, an dem die alte Kultur in bezug auf die menschliche Seelenverfassung in eine ganz neue Kultur übergehen sollte. Das war ein Übergang über einen Abgrund der menschlichen Kultur, als ob von den Weltenmächten da gesagt worden wäre: Künftig muß Intellektualität herrschen, und diejenigen, die das Alte fortführen wollen, gehen dem Verfall entgegen. Über diesen Abgrund müssen wir hinüberkommen. - So hätte es sich Moses in seiner Seele sagen können. Und so haben es die Nachfolger des Moses empfunden, daß der Übergang über einen kosmischen Weltenabgrund gewonnen worden sei. Daher haben die Bekenner des Moses das Passahfest, das Fest des Übergangs über einen Weltenabgrund, in Erinnerung an diese Tat des Moses gefeiert. Oh, diese alten Feste, die man heute gewohnt ist, so trivial auszuleben, beziehen sich auf große Geheimnisse des Weltendaseins. Als nun Moses wirklich, ausgerüstet mit der Kraft für Jahrtausende, an den Hof des Pharao kam - was Wunder, daß dieser aus der alten hellscherischen Kultur Ägyptens herausgewachsene Pharao die Zeichen nicht verstehen konnte, die Moses vor ihm entfaltete.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":186,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/69b/1911-02-13/p028"}],"english":["GA 69b/1911-02-13/p027"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":186,"en_words":199,"ratio":1.07,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7359,"original_word_count":7120,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Knowledge and Immortality","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA069b/English/SOL2024/19110213p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
