Exodus 15

Studie

   

1 Mooses ja Iisraeli lapsed laulsid siis Issandale selle laulu; nad ütlesid nõnda: 'Ma laulan Issandale, sest tema on Ülikõrge, hobused ja ratsanikud heitis ta merre.

2 Mu tugevus ja mu kiituslaul on Issand, tema oli mulle päästeks. Tema on mu Jumal ja ma ülistan teda, tema on mu isa Jumal ja ma kiidan teda kõrgeks.

3 Issand on sõjamees, Issand on ta nimi.

4 Vaarao sõjavankrid ja väe heitis ta merre, selle valitud võitlejad uputati Kõrkjameres.

5 Vetevood katsid nad, nad vajusid kivina sügavusse.

6 Issand, su parem käsi näitas oma jõudu; Issand, su parem käsi purustas vaenlase.

7 Suurima üleolekuga sa rebisid vastased maha, sa läkitasid oma vihaleegi, see põletas nad kõrtena.

8 Su vihapuhang paisutas vee, vallina seisis voolus, vood tardusid mere südames.

9 Vaenlane mõtles: 'Ajan taga, võtan kinni, jaotan saagi - mu hing täitub sellest. Tõmban oma mõõga, oma käega hävitan nad.'

10 Sina puhusid tuult, meri kattis nad, tinana vajusid nad võimsasse vette.

11 Kes on sinu sarnane jumalate keskel, Issand? Kes on sinu sarnane, pühakute keskel ülistatu, kardetava kuulsusega imetegija?

12 Sina sirutasid oma parema käe, maa neelas nad.

13 Oma armus sa juhtisid seda rahvast, kelle sa lunastasid; oma väes sa talutasid teda oma püha eluaseme juurde.

14 Rahvad kuulsid ja värisesid, ahastus haaras Vilistimaa elanikke.

15 Siis Edomi pealikud ehmusid, Moabi vürste valdas värin, kõik Kaanani elanikud vabisesid.

16 Heitumus ja hirm tabas neid, nad tummusid kivina su võimsa käsivarre pärast, kui su rahvas, Issand, läks läbi, kui läks läbi see rahvas, kelle sina oled loonud.

17 Sa viid selle ja istutad oma pärisosa mäele, paika, mille sina, Issand, oled teinud oma asupaigaks, pühamusse, Issand, mille valmistavad sinu käed.

18 Issand on kuningas ikka ja igavesti!'

19 Kui siis vaarao hobused, ta sõjavankrid ja ratsanikud läksid merre ja Issand tõi tagasi nende peale mere vee, Iisraeli lapsed aga käisid kuiva mööda keset merd,

20 siis naisprohvet Mirjam, Aaroni õde, võttis trummi kätte, ja kõik naised käisid tema järel trummidega ja ringtantsu tantsides.

21 Ja Mirjam laulis neile: 'Laulge Issandale, sest tema on Ülikõrge, hobused ja ratsanikud heitis ta merre!'

22 Siis Mooses käskis Iisraeli Kõrkjamere äärest edasi minna; nad läksid Suuri kõrbesse ja käisid kõrbes kolm päeva ega leidnud vett.

23 Nad jõudsid Maarasse, aga ei saanud Maara vett juua, sest see oli kibe; seepärast pandi sellele nimeks Maara.

24 Ja rahvas nurises Moosesega, öeldes: 'Mida me joome?'

25 Aga tema hüüdis Issanda poole ja Issand näitas temale ühte puud; siis ta heitis selle vette ja vesi muutus magusaks. Seal andis Issand rahvale seaduse ja õiguse, ja seal ta katsus teda läbi.

26 Ja ta ütles: 'Kui sa tõesti kuulad Issanda, oma Jumala häält ja teed, mis õige on tema silmis, paned tähele tema käske ja täidad kõiki tema korraldusi, siis ma ei pane su peale ainsatki neist tõbedest, mis ma panin egiptlaste peale, sest mina olen Issand, su ravija.'

27 Siis nad tulid Eelimisse; seal oli kaksteist veeallikat ja seitsekümmend palmipuud. Ja seal nad lõid leeri üles vee äärde.

8286. 'And with the wind of Your nostrils the waters were heaped up' means falsities gathered together through heaven's presence. This is clear from the meaning of 'the wind of Your nostrils' as heaven, dealt with below; from the meaning of 'being heaped up' as being gathered into one; and from the meaning of 'the waters' as falsities, dealt with in 7307, 8137, 8138. Damnation and being cast into hell involves having all the falsities arising from evil gathered together, and then being hemmed in by them, see 8146, 8210, 8232; and this happens as a result simply of the Lord's presence, 8265. The reason why 'the wind of Jehovah's, or the Lord's, nostrils' means heaven is that the expression is used to denote the breath of life, that is, God's life; and since God's life constitutes heaven's life, heaven is meant by 'the wind of Jehovah's nostrils'. This also explains why the same word in the original language means both wind and spirit.

[2] The fact that Jehovah's wind or His breath means heaven's life, and the life of a person in heaven, that is, of one who has been regenerated, is clear in David,

By the Word of Jehovah were the heavens made, and all their host by the spirit (wind) of His mouth. Psalms 33:6.

In the same author,

You gather up their spirit, they breathe their last and fall back into their dust. You send forth Your spirit (wind), they are created. Psalms 104:29-30.

In Ezekiel,

Jehovah said to me, Will these bones live? Then He said, Prophesy over the spirit, prophesy, O son of man, and say to the wind, Thus said the Lord Jehovih, Come from the four winds, O spirit, and breathe into these killed, that they may live. And the spirit came into them, and they lived again. Ezekiel 37:3, 9-10.

In John,

I saw four angels standing over the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, in order that the wind should not blow onto the earth, nor onto the sea, nor onto any tree. Revelation 7:1.

Here 'the wind' stands for heaven's life, which is God's life, as also in Job,

The spirit of God has made me, and the breath of Shaddai 1 has given me life. Job 33:4.

[3] Since 'wind' meant life the Lord also says, in His teaching about a person's regeneration,

The spirit (or wind) blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or goes away to; so it is with everyone who has been born from the spirit. John 3:8.

And since life from God was meant by 'Jehovah's wind' or 'His breath' it therefore says of Jehovah, when Adam's new life is the subject, that

He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Genesis 2:7.

The word 'nostrils' is used because a person breathes by means of them and by means of breathing has life, as in Isaiah,

Turn yourselves away from the person in whose nostrils there is breath. 2 Isaiah 2:22.

In Jeremiah,

The Breath 3 Lamentations 4:20Job 27:3.

[4] Since therefore 'the wind of Jehovah's nostrils' means life which comes from the Lord, and so in the universal sense means heaven, and since through the Lord's presence - or through the presence of heaven, where the Lord is - evils and falsities are cast into hell, 8265, so also is the accomplishment of this meant by 'the wind of Jehovah's nostrils', as in David,

The channels of the sea were seen, the foundations of the world were revealed, because of Jehovah's rebuke, at the blast of breath from His nostrils. 4 Psalms 18:8, 15; 2 Samuel 22:16. 5

In Isaiah,

The breath of Jehovah like a stream 6 of brimstone sets it alight. Isaiah 30:33.

In the same prophet,

Indeed they are not planted, indeed they are not sown, indeed their trunk does not take root in the earth, and also He breathes onto them and they wither, so that the whirlwind may bear them away like stubble. Isaiah 40:24Psalms 147:1718

In addition this explains why 'the nose', when used in reference to Jehovah or the Lord, also means wrath, and so the punishment, vastation, and damnation suffered by those ruled by evils and falsities, as in Numbers 25:4; Deuteronomy 7:4; Judges 2:14; Isaiah 9:12; Jeremiah 4:8Hosea 14:4; Psalms 6:1; 86:15; 103:8; 145:8; and very many other times elsewhere. It explains too why 'breathing with the nostrils' or 'breathing out' means being angry, Deuteronomy 4:21; Isaiah 12:1; Psalms 2:12; 6:1; 60:1; 79:5; 85:5.
