1 ALLORA Mosè, co’ figliuoli d’Israele, cantò questo cantico al Signore, e dissero così: Io canterò al Signore, perciocchè egli si è sommamente magnificato; Egli ha traboccato in mare il cavallo, e colui che lo cavalcava.

2 Il Signore è la mia forza e il mio cantico, E mi è stato in salvezza; Quest’è il mio Dio, io lo glorificherò; L’Iddio del padre mio, io l’esalterò.

3 Il Signore è un gran guerriero; Il suo Nome è, il Signore.

4 Egli ha traboccati in mare i carri di Faraone, e il suo esercito; E la scelta de’ suoi capitani è stata sommersa nel mar rosso.

5 Gli abissi li hanno coperti; Essi sono andati a fondo, come una pietra.

6 La tua destra, o Signore, è stata magnificata in forza; La tua destra, o Signore, ha rotto il nemico.

7 E con la tua magnifica grandezza, Tu hai distrutti coloro che s’innalzavano contro a te; Tu hai mandata l’ira tua, Che li ha consumati come stoppia.

8 E, col soffiar delle tue nari, l’acque sono state accumulate; Le correnti si son fermate come un mucchio; Gli abissi si sono assodati nel cuor del mare.

9 Il nemico dicea: Io li perseguirò, io li raggiungerò, Io partirò le spoglie, l’anima mia si sazierà di essi; Io sguainerò la mia spada, la mia mano li sterminerà.

10 Ma tu hai soffiato col tuo vento, e il mare li ha coperti; Essi sono stati affondati come piombo in acque grosse.

11 Chi è pari a te fra gl’iddii, o Signore? Chi è pari a te, magnifico in santità, Reverendo in laudi, facitor di miracoli?

12 Tu hai distesa la tua destra, E la terra li ha tranghiottiti.

13 Tu hai condotto, per la tua benignità, Il popolo che tu hai riscattato; Tu l’hai guidato per la tua forza Verso l’abitacolo della tua santità.

14 I popoli l’hanno inteso, ed hanno tremato; Dolore ha colti gli abitanti della Palestina.

15 Allora sono stati smarriti i principi di Edom; Tremore ha occupati i possenti di Moab; Tutti gli abitanti di Canaan si sono strutti.

16 Spavento e terrore caggia loro addosso; Sieno stupefatti per la grandezza del tuo braccio, come una pietra; Finchè sia passato il tuo popolo, o Signore; Finchè sia passato il popolo che tu hai acquistato.

17 Tu l’introdurrai, e lo pianterai nel Monte della tua eredità; Nel luogo che tu hai preparato per tua stanza, o Signore; Nel Santuario, o Signore, che le tue mani hanno stabilito.

18 Il Signore regnerà in sempiterno.

19 Questo disse Mosè; perciocchè i cavalli di Faraone, co’ suoi carri, e co’ suoi cavalieri, erano entrati nel mare, e il Signore avea fatte ritornar sopra loro le acque del mare; ma i figliuoli d’Israele erano camminati per mezzo il mare per l’asciutto.

20 E Maria profetessa, sorella di Aaronne, prese in mano un tamburo; e tutte le donne uscirono dietro a lei, con tamburi, e con danze.

21 E Maria rispondeva a Mosè e agli altri uomini, dicendo: Cantate al Signore; perciocchè egli si è sommamente magnificato; Egli ha traboccato in mare il cavallo e colui che lo cavalcava.

22 POI Mosè fece partir gl’Israeliti dal mar rosso; ed essi procedettero innanzi verso il deserto di Sur; e camminarono tre giornate nel deserto senza trovar acqua.

23 Poi arrivarono a Mara; e non potevano ber dell’acque di Mara; perciocchè erano amare; perciò a quel luogo fu posto nome Mara.

24 E il popolo mormorò contro a Mosè, dicendo; Che berremo?

25 Ed egli gridò al Signore; e il Signore gli mostrò un legno, il quale egli gittò nell’acque, e l’acque divennero dolci. Quivi ordinò il Signore al popolo statuti e leggi; e quivi ancora lo provò.

26 E disse: Se del tutto tu ubbidisci alla voce del Signore Iddio tuo, e fai ciò che gli piace, e porgi gli orecchi a’ suoi comandamenti, e osservi tutti i suoi statuti; io non ti metterò addosso niuna delle infermità, le quali io ho messe sopra l’Egitto; perciocchè io sono il Signore che ti guarisco d’ogni male.

27 Poi vennero in Elim, e quivi erano dodici fontane d’acqua, e settanta palme; e si accamparono quivi presso all’acque.

   


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

8297. 'The sea covered them over' means that all the falsity they possessed hemmed them in. This is clear from the meaning of 'covering over' as hemming in; and from the meaning of 'the sea', here the waters of the Sea Suph, as falsities arising from evils, which sea also means hell, dealt with in 8099, 8137, 8138, 8148. As regards their being hemmed in there by falsities arising from evil, [see] 8210, 8232.

Arcana Coelestia #8099

8099. 'The Sea Suph' means the damnation which they first had to pass through. This is clear from the meaning of 'the Sea Suph' as the hell where those spirits are who are governed by faith separated from charity and lead a life of evil; and since 'the Sea Suph' means hell it also means damnation. The reason why they first had to pass through damnation is this: There were people belonging to the spiritual Church who were held back on the lower earth until the Lord's Coming, where they were molested by those governed by faith separated from charity. These have been the subject in the preceding chapters. When those people were delivered from that place they were not raised to heaven immediately. Before this they were led into a second state - a state of purification, which is a state of temptations. For truths and forms of the good of faith can be neither firmly accepted nor bonded together without temptations; and until these had been firmly accepted and bonded together those people could not be raised into heaven. These things were represented by the children of Israel, by their not being led straightaway into the land of Canaan but living first in the wilderness, where they remained for forty years, undergoing various temptations, which are described in the books of Moses.

[2] In regard to this matter, that they first passed through the Sea Suph, which means the hell of those who are governed by separated faith and lead an evil life, thus that they first passed through the middle of damnation, it should be recognized that this hell is situated deep down out in front beneath the adulterers' hells, stretching rather widely towards the left. It is separated from the adulterers' hells by waters like those of the sea on the right there, but higher up, is the place where those governed by the truth of faith but not by the good of faith are gathered - those meant by 'the Philistines', who are referred to just above in 8096. But the lower earth, the region where those who suffer molestation are, is beneath the soles of the feet, slightly out in front. Those who are delivered from molestation are not led towards the right since the ones meant by the Philistines are there. Instead they are led towards the left, through the midst of the hell that has been mentioned and they come out on the left, where there is a kind of wilderness. I have been allowed on two occasions to see that this is the way which they pass through when rescued from molestations. As they pass through they are protected by the Lord in such a way that nothing bad at all can touch them, let alone any damnation. For they are encompassed by a pillar of angels with whom the Lord is present.

[3] This is represented by the passage of the children of Israel through the Sea Suph. Such was also meant by the following in Isaiah,

Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah. Were You not that which dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, which made the deep places of the sea a road, in order that the redeemed might pass through? Isaiah 51:9-10.

'The arm of Jehovah' is the Lord's Divine Human. 'The waters of the great deep' and 'the depths of the sea' are the hell in which those live who are governed by faith separated from charity and lead a life of evil. The waters like those of the sea beneath which they live are falsities; for in the next life falsities appear as thick, dark clouds, and also as deluges of water, 739, 4423, 7307. The redeemed who were to pass through them are those whom the Lord has delivered.

[4] In the same prophet,

Jehovah remembered the days of old, Moses, [and] His people, [saying,] Where is He who caused them to come up out of the sea with the shepherd of His flock? Where is He who put the spirit of His holiness in the midst of them? Isaiah 63:11.

In this prophetic utterance 'Moses' is used to mean the Lord, who is also 'the shepherd of the flock'. 'The people whom He caused to come up out of the sea' are those who were delivered from damnation. In Jeremiah,

At the noise of their fall the earth shook; [as for their] cry, the noise of it was heard in the Sea Suph. Jeremiah 49:21.

'The Sea Suph' stands for hell, for Edom and its damnation is the subject there. It says that the noise of it was heard coming out of the Sea Suph, when yet they were not the ones who were drowned in that sea but the Egyptians. From this it is evident that 'the Sea Suph' means hell and damnation 'Edom' there means those who are led by the evil of self-love to reject the truths taught by doctrine and to embrace falsities, 3322.

From all this one may now see what is meant in the representative internal sense by 'the sea Suph', and what is meant by the passage through it of the children of Israel and the drowning in it of the Egyptians, events described in the next chapter.
