Izlazak 15

Studie

   

1 Tada Mojsije s Izraelcima zapjeva ovu pjesmu Jahvi u slavu: "U čast Jahvi zapjevat ću, jer se slavom proslavio! Konja s konjanikom u more je survao.

2 Moja je snaga, moja pjesma - Jahve jer je mojim postao izbaviteljem. On je Bog moj, njega ja ću slaviti, on je Bog oca moga, njega ću veličati.

3 Jahve je ratnik hrabar, Jahve je ime njegovo.

4 Kola faraonova i vojsku mu u more baci; cvijet njegovih štitonoša more crveno proguta.

5 Valovi ih prekriše; poput kamena u morske potonuše dubine.

6 Desnica tvoja, Jahve, snagom se prodiči; desnica tvoja, Jahve, raskomada dušmana.

7 Veličanstvom svojim obaraš ti protivnike; puštaš svoj gnjev i on ih k'o slamu proždire.

8 Od daha iz tvojih nosnica vode narastoše, valovi se u bedem uzdigoše, u srcu mora dubine se stvrdnuše.

9 Mislio je neprijatelj: 'Gonit ću ih, stići, plijen ću podijelit', duša će moja sita ga biti; trgnut ću mač, uništit' ih rukom svojom.'

10 A ti dahom svojim dahnu, more se nad njima sklopi; k'o olovo potonuše silnoj vodi u bezdane.

11 Tko je kao ti, Jahve među bogovima, tko kao ti sija u svetosti, u djelima strašan, divan u čudima?

12 Desnicu si pružio i zemlja ih proguta!

13 Milošću svojom vodio si ovaj narod, tobom otkupljen, k svetom tvom Stanu snagom si ga svojom upravio.

14 Kada to čuše, prodrhtaše narodi; Filistejce muke spopadoše.

15 Užas je srvao edomske glavare, trepet je obuzeo moapske knezove i tresu se svi koji žive u Kanaanu.

16 Strah i prepast na njih se obaraju; snaga tvoje ruke skamenila ih je dok narod tvoj, Jahve, ne prođe, dok ne prođe narod tvoj koji si otkupio.

17 Dovest ćeš ih i posaditi na gori svoje baštine, na mjestu koje ti, Jahve, svojim učini Boravištem, Svetištem, o Jahve, tvojom rukom sazidanim.

18 Vazda i dovijeka Jahve će kraljevati."

19 Kad su faraonovi konji, njegova kola i konjanici sašli u more, Jahve je na njih povratio morske vode pošto su Izraelci prošli posred mora po suhu.

20 Tada Aronova sestra, proročica Mirjam, uze bubanj u ruku, a sve žene pridruže joj se s bubnjem u ruci i plešući.

21 Mirjam je začinjala pjesmu: "Zapjevajte Jahvi jer se slavom proslavio! Konja s konjanikom u more je survao."

22 Pokrene Mojsije Izraelce od Crvenog mora i pođu na put kroz pustinju Šur. Tri su dana putovali pustinjom, a vode nisu našli.

23 Dođu k Mari, ali nisu mogli piti vode kod Mare jer je bila gorka. Stoga se i zove Mara.

24 Narod je mrmljao na Mojsija i govorio: "Što ćemo piti?"

25 A on zazva Jahvu. Jahve mu pokaže neko drvo. Baci on to drvo u vodu i voda postane slatka. Tu im Jahve postavi zakon i pravo i tu ih stavi u kušnju.

26 Zatim reče: "Budeš li zdušno slušao glas Jahve, Boga svoga, vršeći što je pravo u njegovim očima; budeš li pružao svoje uho njegovim zapovijedima i držao njegove zakone, nikakvih bolesti koje sam pustio na Egipćane na vas neću puštati. Jer ja sam Jahve koji dajem zdravlje."

27 Zatim stignu u Elim, gdje je bilo dvanaest izvora i sedamdeset palma. Tu se, uz vodu, utabore.

Apocalypse Explained # 522

522. Because they were made bitter, signifies because the truths of the Word were falsified. This is evident from the signification of "the waters in the rivers and in the fountains," as being the truths of the understanding and the truths of doctrine (of which above, n. 518; also from the signification of "bitter" and "bitterness," as being what is falsified by the mingling of truth with the falsities of evil; for "bitter" here means the bitter of wormwood, and "wormwood" by reason of its bitterness signifies truth mixed with the falsity of evil, thus truth falsified (of which above, n. 519. "Bitter" signifies in the Word what is undelightful, but one kind of undelightfulness is signified by the bitter from wormwood, another by the bitter from gall, another by the bitter of hemlock, another by the bitter from unripe fruit, another by the bitter that is neither from herbs nor fruit; this bitter signifies grief of mind and anxiety from various causes.

[2] This makes evident the signification of "bitterness" in the following passages. In Isaiah:

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter. Woe unto the mighty in drinking wine, and unto men of strength in mingling strong drink (Isaiah 5:20, 22).

In the same:

The new wine shall mourn, the vine shall languish, all the glad of heart shall sigh. They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it (Isaiah 24:7, 9).

In Moses:

That the waters in Marah, which they were not able to drink because of their bitterness, were healed by the wood that was cast into them (Exodus 15:23-25);

That at the time of the Passover they ate unleavened bread with bitter herbs (Exodus 12:8; Numbers 9:11).

In the same:

That the waters of the curse should be given to a wife accused by her husband of adultery, and if she was guilty these waters would become bitternesses in her, and her belly would swell and her thigh would fall in (Numbers 5:12-29).

In Revelation:

The little book that the prophet ate by command was in his mouth sweet like honey, but the belly was made bitter by it (Revelation 10:9, 10).

So in other passages. But here, where it is said that "many men died of the waters because they were made bitter," the bitter of wormwood is meant, and the signification of this bitterness has been explained just before.
