Exodus 14

Studie

   

1 Mluvil pak Hospodin k Mojžíšovi, řka:

2 Mluv k synům Izraelským, ať navrátíce se, rozbijí stany před Fiarot, mezi Magdalem a mořem, proti Belsefon; naproti němu rozbijete stany při moři.

3 A dí Farao o synech Izraelských: Ssouženi jsou na zemi, sevřela je poušť.

4 I zatvrdím srdce Faraonovo, a honiti je bude, a oslaven budu v Faraonovi a ve všem vojsku jeho; a zvědí Egyptští, že já jsem Hospodin. I učinili tak.

5 Povědíno pak bylo králi Egyptskému, že by lid utíkal. I obráceno jest srdce Faraonovo a služebníků jeho proti lidu, a řekli: Co jsme to učinili, že jsme propustili Izraele, aby nesloužil nám?

6 Protož zapřáhl do svého vozu, a lid svůj vzal s sebou.

7 A vzal šest set vozů vybraných, i všecky vozy Egyptské, nad nimiž nade všemi byli hejtmané.

8 I zatvrdil Hospodin srdce Faraona krále Egyptského, tak že honil syny Izraelské; synové pak Izraelští vyšli v ruce vyvýšené.

9 I honili je Egyptští, a postihli je, když se položili při moři, všickni vozové Faraonovi, a jezdci jeho i vojsko jeho podlé Fiarot, před Belsefon.

10 A když se přiblížil Farao, pozdvihli synové Izraelští očí svých, a aj, Egyptští táhnou za nimi. I báli se velmi, a volali synové Izraelští k Hospodinu.

11 A řekli Mojžíšovi: Zdali proto, že nebylo hrobů v Egyptě, vyvedl jsi nás, abychom zemřeli na poušti? Co jsi nám to učinil, že jsi vyvedl nás z Egypta?

12 Zdali jsme toho nemluvili tobě ještě v Egyptě, řkouce: Nech nás, ať sloužíme Egyptským? Nebo lépe bylo nám sloužiti Egyptským, než zemříti na poušti.

13 I řekl Mojžíš lidu: Nebojte se, stůjte a vizte spasení Hospodinovo, kteréž vám způsobí dnes; nebo Egyptských, kteréž jste viděli dnes, neuzříte nikdy více až na věky.

14 Hospodin bojovati bude za vás, a vy mlčeti budete.

15 I řekl Hospodin Mojžíšovi: Co voláš ke mně? Mluv synům Izraelským, ať jdou předce.

16 Ty pak zdvihni hůl svou, a vztáhni ruku svou na moře, a rozděl je; a nechať jdou synové Izraelští prostředkem moře po suše.

17 Jáť pak, aj, já zatvrdím srdce Egyptských, a vejdou za nimi; i budu oslaven v Faraonovi, a ve všem vojsku jeho, v vozích jeho i v jezdcích jeho.

18 A zvědí Egyptští, že já jsem Hospodin, když oslaven budu v Faraonovi, v vozích jeho a v jezdcích jeho.

19 I bral se anděl Boží, kterýž byl prvé předcházel vojsko Izraelské, a šel z zadu za nimi; nebo hnul se sloup oblakový, kterýž byl před nimi, a stál z zadu za nimi.

20 A přišed mezi vojska Egyptských a vojska Izraelská, byl Egyptským oblakem a tmou, Izraelským pak osvěcoval noc, tak aby nepřiblížili se jedni k druhým přes celou noc.

21 I vztáhl Mojžíš ruku svou na moře, a Hospodin rozdělil moře větrem východním prudce vějícím přes celou noc; a učinil moře v suchost, když se rozstoupily vody.

22 Tedy šli synové Izraelští prostředkem moře po suše, a vody jim byly jako zed po pravé i po levé straně.

23 A honíce je Egyptští, vešli za nimi do prostřed moře, všecka jízda Faraonova, vozové i jízdní jeho.

24 Stalo se pak v bdění jitřním, že pohleděl Hospodin na vojska Egyptských z sloupu ohně a oblaku, a zmátl vojsko Egyptské.

25 A odjal kola vozů jejich, aby je těžce táhli. I řekli Egyptští: Utecme před Izraelem, nebo Hospodin bojuje za ně proti Egyptským.

26 Tedy řekl Hospodin Mojžíšovi: Vztáhni ruku svou na moře, ať se zase vrátí vody na Egyptské, na vozy jejich a na jezdce jejich.

27 I vztáhl Mojžíš ruku svou na moře, a navrátilo se moře ráno k moci své, a Egyptští utíkali proti němu; a vrazil Hospodin Egyptské do prostřed moře.

28 A navrátivše se vody, zatopily vozy i jezdce se vším vojskem Faraonovým, což jich koli vešlo za nimi do moře, tak že nezůstal z nich ani jeden.

29 Ale synové Izraelští šli po suchu prostředkem moře, a vody jim byly místo zdi po pravé i po levé straně.

30 A tak vysvobodil Hospodin v ten den Izraele z ruky Egyptských; a viděl Izrael Egyptské mrtvé na břehu mořském.

31 Viděl také Izrael moc velikou, kterouž prokázal Hospodin na Egyptských. I bál se lid Hospodina, a věřili Hospodinu i Mojžíšovi, služebníku jeho.

8127. And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying. That this signifies instruction by the Divine by means of Divine truth, is evident from the signification of “Jehovah spake and said,” when concerning those things which shall be done and come to pass, as being instruction by the Divine (see n. 7186, 7241, 7267, 7304, 7380, 7517); and from the representation of Moses, as being the Lord as to Divine truth (n. 6723, 6752, 6771, 6827, 7010, 7014, 7089, 7382). It is said by means of Divine truth, because Moses, by whom Divine truth is represented, was to speak unto the people. The Divine Itself does not instruct and speak with men, nor indeed with angels, immediately; but mediately by means of Divine truth (n. 7009). This is meant by the Lord’s words in John:

No one hath ever seen God; the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He hath set Him forth (John 1:18; 5:37).

By “the only-begotten Son” is meant the Lord as to Divine truth; from this also the Lord calls Himself “the Son of man” (n. 2628, 2803, 2813, 3704). The Lord also, when in the world, was Divine truth; but afterward, when He was glorified, He became also as to the Human, Divine good; and then from this proceeded Divine truth, which is the “Spirit of truth” or “Holy Spirit.”

7303. Verses 14-24. And Jehovah said unto Moses, Pharaoh’s heart is made heavy, he refuseth to let the people go. Go unto Pharaoh in the morning; behold he goeth out unto the waters; and stand thou to meet him near the bank of the river; and the rod which was turned into a serpent take in thy hand. And thou shalt say unto him, Jehovah the God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let My people go, that they may serve Me in the wilderness; and behold hitherto thou hast not heard. Thus said Jehovah, In this thou shalt know that I am Jehovah; behold I smite with the rod that is in my hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned into blood. And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall labor to drink waters from the river. And Jehovah said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod and stretch out thy hand over the waters of Egypt, over their streams, over their rivers, and over their pools, and over every gathering of their waters, and they shall be blood; and there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt, both in the woods and in the stones. And Moses and Aaron did so, as Jehovah commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, unto the eyes of Pharaoh, and unto the eyes of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned into blood. And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink water from the river; and there was blood in all the land of Egypt. And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments; and Pharaoh’s heart was made hard, and he heard them not, as Jehovah had spoken. And Pharaoh looked back, and came unto his house, and did not set his heart even to this. And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for waters to drink; for they could not drink of the waters of the river. “And Jehovah said unto Moses” signifies Divine instruction; “Pharaoh’s heart is made heavy, he refuseth to let the people go,” signifies that they obstinately determined not to release those whom they infest; “go unto Pharaoh in the morning,” signifies elevation to things more confirmatory; “behold he goeth out unto the waters,” signifies that then they who were infesting would be in falsities from fallacies; “and stand thou to meet him near the bank of the river,” signifies influx according to the state; “and the rod that was turned into a serpent take in thy hand,” signifies power like the former; “and thou shalt say unto him,” signifies command; “Jehovah the God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying,” signifies from the Divine of the church to those who were infesting; “Let My people go,” signifies that they should release; “that they may serve Me in the wilderness,” signifies worship in what is obscure; “and behold hitherto thou hast not heard,” signifies no obedience; “thus said Jehovah, In this thou shalt know that I am Jehovah,” signifies that they may be in fear of the Divine; “behold, I smite with the rod that is in my hand upon the waters which are in the river,” signifies power over the falsities which are from fallacies; “and they shall be turned into blood,” signifies that they shall falsify truths; “and the fish that is in the river shall die,” signifies that the memory-knowledge of truth shall be extinguished; “and the river shall stink,” signifies aversion for it; “and the Egyptians shall labor to drink waters from the river,” signifies that they would desire to know scarcely anything about it; “and Jehovah said unto Moses,” signifies execution; “Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod and stretch out thy hand over the waters of Egypt,” signifies power against the falsities of those who infest; “over their streams, over their rivers,” signifies against the things of doctrine; “and over their pools,” signifies against the memory-knowledges that were of service to them; “and over every gathering of their waters,” signifies where there is any falsity; “and they shall be blood,” signifies that they shall falsify truths; “and there shall be blood in all the land of Egypt,” signifies total falsification; “both in woods and in stones,” signifies of the good that is of charity and of the truth that is of faith; “and Moses and Aaron did so as Jehovah commanded,” signifies the effect; “and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river,” signifies strong power against the falsities; “unto the eyes of Pharaoh, and unto the eyes of his servants,” signifies in the notice of all who were infesting; “and all the waters that were in the river were turned into blood,” signifies the consequent falsification of all truth; “and the fish that was in the river died,” signifies the memory-knowledge of truth also extinguished; “and the river stank,” signifies aversion; “and the Egyptians could not drink water from the river,” signifies that they desired to know scarcely anything about it; “and there was blood in all the land of Egypt,” signifies total falsification; “and the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments,” signifies that their falsifiers fashioned the like by abusing order; “and Pharaoh’s heart was made hard,” signifies obstinacy; “and he heard them not,” signifies no reception and no obedience; “as Jehovah had spoken,” signifies according to the prediction; “and Pharaoh looked back, and came unto his house,” signifies thought and reflection from falsities; “and did not set his heart even to this,” signifies resistance from the will, and the consequent obstinacy; “and all the Egyptians digged round about the river for waters to drink,” signifies a thorough search for truth which they might apply to falsities; “for they could not drink of the waters of the river,” signifies no application from mere falsities.
