Exodus 15

Studie

   

1 Ved den Lejlighed sang Moses og Israeliterne denne sang for HE EN: Jeg vil synge for HE EN, thi han er højt ophøjet, Hest og ytter styrted han i Havet!

2 HE EN er min Styrke og min Lovsang, og han blev mig til Frelse. Han er min Gud, og jeg vil prise ham, min Faders Gud, og jeg vil ophøje ham.

3 HE EN er en Krigshelt, HE EN er hans Navn!

4 Faraos Vogne og Krigsmagt styrted han i Havet, hans ypperste Vognkæmpere drukned i det røde Hav,

5 Strømmene dækked dem, de sank som Sten i Dybet.

6 Din højre, HE E, er herlig i Kraft, din højre, HE E, knuser Fjenden.

7 I din Højheds Vælde fælder du dine Modstandere, du slipper din Harme løs, den fortærer dem som Strå.

8 Ved din Næses Pust dyngedes Vandene op, Vandene stod som en Vold, Strømmene stivnede midt i Havet.

9 Fjenden tænkte: "Jeg sætter efter dem, indhenter dem, uddeler Bytte, stiller mit Begær på dem; jeg drager mit Sværd, min Hånd skal udrydde dem."

10 Du blæste med din Ånde, Havet skjulte dem; de sank som Bly i de vældige Vande.

11 Hvo er som du blandt Guder, HE E, hvo er som du, herlig i Hellighed, frygtelig i Stordåd, underfuld i dine Gerninger!

12 Du udrakte din højre, og Jorden slugte dem.

13 Du leded i din Miskundhed det Folk, du genløste, du førte det i din Vælde til din hellige Bolig.

14 Folkene hørte det og bæved, Skælven greb Filisterlandets Folk.

15 Da forfærdedes Edoms Høvdinger, Moabs Fyrster grebes af ædsel, Kana'ans Beboere tabte alle Modet.

16 Skræk og Angst faldt over dem, ved din Arms Vælde blev de målløse som Sten, til dit Folk var nået frem, o HE E, til Folket, du vandt dig, var nået frem.

17 du førte dem frem og planted dem i din Arvelods Bjerge, på det Sted du beredte dig til Bolig, HE E, i den Helligdom, Herre, som dine Hænder grundfæsted.

18 HE EN er Konge i al Evighed!

19 Thi da Faraos Heste med hans Vogne og yttere drog ud i Havet, lod HE EN Havets Vande strømme tilbage over dem, medens Israeliterne gik gennem Havet på tør Bund.

20 Da greb Profetinden Mirjam, Arons Søster, Pauken, og alle Kvinderne fulgte hende med Pauker og Danse,

21 og Mirjam sang for: Syng for HE EN, thi han er højt ophøjet, Hest og ytter styrted han i Havet!

22 Derpå lod Moses Israel bryde op fra det røde Hav, og de drog ud i Sjurs Ørken, og de vandrede tre Dage i Ørkenen uden at finde Vand.

23 Så nåede de Mara, men de kunde ikke drikke Vandet for dets bitre Smag, thi det var bittert; derfor kaldte man Stedet Mara.

24 Da knurrede Folket mod Moses og sagde: "Hvad skal vi drikke?"

25 Men han råbte til HE EN, og da viste HE EN ham en bestemt Slags Træ; og da han kastede det i Vandet, blev Vandet drikkeligt. Der gav han dem Bestemmelser om Lov og et, og der satte han dem på Prøve.

26 Og han sagde: "Hvis du vil høre på HE EN din Guds øst og gøre, hvad der er ret i hans Øjne, og lytte til hans Bud og holde dig alle hans Bestemmelser efterrettelig, så vil jeg ikke bringe nogen af de Sygdomme over dig, som jeg bragte over Ægypterne, men jeg HE EN er din Læge!"

27 Derpå kom de til Elim, hvor der var tolv Vandkilder og halvfjerdsindstyve Palmetræer, og de lejrede sig ved Vandet der.

8315. 'The powerful ones of Moab' means those leading a life of falsity resulting from that love. This is clear from the meaning of 'the powerful ones' as ruling and predominant elements; and from the representation of 'Moab' as people who are governed by natural good yet easily allow themselves to be led into error, dealt with in 2468, thus who lead a life of falsity as a result. For people governed by natural good and not by good that springs from the truth of faith, thus who are not governed by spiritual good, allow themselves to be carried away into believing any falsities whatever, and so into living in accordance with them. They are carried away from truths to falsities, in particular by ones that accord with the kinds of love they have. These are the people that 'Moab' serves to mean. Those governed by natural and not by spiritual good cannot at all be led by any influx from heaven, see 3470, 3471, 3518, 4988, 4992, 5032, 6208, 7197, 8002. The word used in the original language to express 'powerful ones' refers to those strong in truth that is grounded in good, and in the contrary sense to those strong in falsity that is rooted in evil. The word is used in the latter sense in Ezekiel 31:11; 2 Kings 24:15.

7197. 'The land of their sojournings in which they sojourned' means where those things reside that are aspects of faith and charity in which they have received instruction and which they have practised in life. This is clear from the meaning of 'the land' as the Lord's kingdom in heaven and on earth, dealt with immediately above in 7196, and so too the things that belong to the Lord's kingdom, which, it is well known, are faith and charity (these too are therefore meant by 'the land of Canaan when the subject is instruction and life, meant by 'sojourning'); and from the meaning of 'sojourning' as instruction and life, dealt with in 1463, 2015, 3672. From this it is evident that 'the land of their sojournings in which they sojourned' means where those things reside that are aspects of faith and charity in which they have received instruction and which they have practised in life. The implications of all this are that heaven is given to each person in the next life in the measure that aspects of faith and charity reside with him; for charity and faith compose heaven with everyone, though when it is said that charity and faith compose heaven this means a life of charity and faith. Yet it should be fully recognized that the life which holds heaven within it is a life led in conformity with those truths and forms of the good of faith which a person has been taught about. Unless they are the rules and standards of his life his expectation of heaven is in vain, no matter how he has lived. Without them a person is like a reed which sways with every wind, for he is moved equally by those who are evil as by those who are good. This is because he has no firmly established truth or good at all within himself which the angels can use to maintain him in truths and forms of good, and to steer him away from the falsities and evils constantly introduced by those from hell. In short, a life of Christian goodness is what composes heaven, not a life of natural goodness.
