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.

8314. 'Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed' means a like feeling on the part of those leading a life of evil arising from self-love. This is clear from the meaning of 'the chiefs' as the leaders, thus each and every person, dealt with below; and from the representation of 'Edom' as those who, ruled by the evil of self-love, seize on falsities and cast aside truths, or as - in the sense abstracted from persons - the evil of self-love which embraces falsity and rejects truth, so that 'Edom' also represents those who lead a life of evil arising from that love, namely self-love. As regards the word 'chiefs', leaders are meant by it, or - in the sense abstracted from persons - leading features, and so each and every aspect. For when the word 'chiefs' is used, it implies each and every person under them, as when the word 'king' is used it implies all subjects of his kingdom; for the group takes its name from the most powerful person among them. When the term 'chiefs' or 'commanders' is mentioned in the Word general headings under which all else comes is meant, or leading features, as with 'tertiary commanders', 8150, 8276; and that term has reference to good, or in the contrary sense to evil. 'Princes' however likewise means general headings under which all else comes, or first and foremost features, 1482, 2089, 5044; but it has reference to truth.

[2] It should be recognized that in the Word there are terms that belong to the group of spiritual things and terms that belong to the group of celestial things; that is, there are terms serving to express such things as are matters of truth or faith, and terms serving to express such things as are matters of good or love. In addition there are terms that have reference to both. As soon as the person who is acquainted with these looks at or reads the Word, especially in its original language, he knows when such things as are matters of truth are the subject in the internal sense, and when such things as are matters of good are the subject. This is the situation with the meaning of 'princes' and 'chiefs'. 'Princes' means first and foremost features and is used in reference to the truths of faith, or in the contrary sense to falsities of faith, whereas 'chiefs' means leading features and is used in reference to the good of love, or in the contrary sense to the evils of love.

[3] So it is that those who ruled in Edom were called 'chiefs', as is evident from Genesis 36:15-19, 21, 29-30, 40-43. The reason why they were called 'chiefs' is that 'Edom' meant the good of celestial love, and in the contrary sense the evil of self-love. But among 'the sons of Ishmael', those who were set in authority over everyone else were not called 'chiefs' but 'princes', Genesis 25:16, because 'Ishmael' means those guided by truth, 3263, 3268, 4747. For the same reason the term 'princes' was used for those set in authority in Israel, Numbers 7:2, 10, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, since 'Israel' represented those governed by the truth and good of faith. But those set in authority in Judah were called 'chiefs' since Judah' represented those governed by the good of love, as in Zechariah,

Let him be like a chief in Judah. Zechariah 9:7.

And in the same prophet,

The chiefs of Judah will say in their heart, I will strengthen 1 for myself the inhabitants of Jerusalem in Jehovah Zebaoth, their God. On that day I will make the chiefs of Judah like a furnace of fire among pieces of wood. Zechariah 12:5-6.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. This differs from what appears in English versions of Scripture because Swedenborg, following Sebastian Schmidt, reads the Hebrew as a verb, not as a noun.
