Exodus 17

Studie

   

1 Ja kogu Iisraeli laste kogudus läks liikvele Siini kõrbest, peatuspaigast teise Issanda käsu järgi; ja nad lõid leeri üles Refidimi, aga seal ei olnud rahval vett juua.

2 Siis rahvas riidles Moosesega ja ütles: 'Andke meile vett juua!' Aga Mooses vastas neile: 'Miks te riidlete minuga? Miks te kiusate Issandat?'

3 Ent rahval oli veejanu ja rahvas nurises Moosese vastu ning ütles: 'Mispärast sa tõid meid Egiptusest siia, mind ja minu lapsi ning mu karja janusse surema?'

4 Siis Mooses hüüdis Issanda poole, öeldes: 'Mis ma pean selle rahvaga tegema? Vähe puudub, et nad viskavad mind kividega surnuks!'

5 Ja Issand ütles Moosesele: 'Mine edasi rahva ees ja võta enesega mõningad Iisraeli vanemaist! Võta kätte oma kepp, millega sa lõid Niiluse jõge, ja mine!

6 Vaata, mina seisan seal su ees Hoorebi kaljul. Löö kaljut, siis tuleb sellest vesi välja ja rahvas saab juua!' Ja Mooses tegi nõnda Iisraeli vanemate nähes.

7 Ja ta pani sellele paigale nimeks Massa ja Meriba, Iisraeli laste riiu pärast, ja et nad olid Issandat kiusanud, öeldes: 'Ons Issand meie keskel või ei ole?'

8 Siis tulid amalekid ja sõdisid Iisraeli vastu Refidimis.

9 Ja Mooses ütles Joosuale: 'Vali meile mehi ja mine sõdi homme amalekkide vastu! Mina seisan kõrgendiku tipus, Jumala kepp käes.'

10 Ja Joosua tegi, nagu Mooses temale ütles, ning sõdis amalekkide vastu; ja Mooses, Aaron ja Huur läksid kõrgendiku tippu.

11 Ja sündis, et niikaua kui Mooses hoidis oma käe ülal, oli Iisrael võidukas, aga kui ta laskis oma käe vajuda, oli Amalek võidukas.

12 Aga kui Moosese käed väsisid, siis nad võtsid kivi, asetasid selle temale alla ja ta istus selle peale ning Aaron ja Huur toetasid tema käsi, üks siitpoolt ja teine sealtpoolt; siis ta käed seisid kindlalt kuni päikeseloojakuni.

13 Ja Joosua võitis mõõgateraga Amaleki ning tema rahva.

14 Ja Issand ütles Moosesele: 'Kirjuta see meenutuseks raamatusse ja pane Joosuale kõrva taha, et ma pühin Amaleki mälestuse taeva alt sootuks!'

15 Siis Mooses ehitas altari ning pani sellele nimeks 'Minu lipp Issand'.

16 Ja ta ütles: 'Et käsi on olnud Issanda trooni poole, on Issandal sõda Amaleki vastu põlvest põlve!'

Exodus 15:25

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.

8554. Exodus 17

1. And all the assembly of the children of Israel travelled on from the wilderness of Sin, according to their travels, at the mouth of Jehovah, and encamped in Rephidim; and there was no water for the people to drink.

2. And the people wrangled with Moses, and said, Give us water and let us drink. And Moses said to them, Why do you wrangle with me? Why do you tempt Jehovah?

3. And the people thirsted there for water, and the people grumbled against Moses, and said, Why have you caused us to come up out of Egypt, to cause me, and my children, and my livestock to die of thirst? 1

4. And Moses cried out to Jehovah, saying, What shall I do for this people? Yet a little and they stone me. 2

5. And Jehovah said to Moses, Pass on before the people, and take with you some of the elders of Israel; and your rod with which you struck the river, take in your hand, and go.

6. Behold, I [will be] standing before you there on the rock in Horeb, and you are to strike the rock, and water will come out of it; and let the people drink. And Moses did so before the eyes of the elders of Israel.

7. And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the wrangling of the children of Israel, and because of their tempting Jehovah, saying, Is Jehovah in the midst of us or not?

8. And Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

9. And Moses said to Joshua, Choose men for us, and go out, fight against Amalek; tomorrow I stand on the top of the hill, with the rod of God in my hand.

10. And Joshua did as Moses said to him, by fighting against Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

11. And so it was, when Moses raised up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

12. And the hands of Moses were heavy; and they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and one on the other. And so it was, his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

13. And Joshua decimated 3 Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

14. And Jehovah said to Moses, Write this [for] a memorial in the book, and put it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.

15. And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah Nissi.

16. And he said, Because [Amalek's] hand is against the throne of Jah, the war of Jehovah will be against Amalek from generation to generation.

CONTENTS

The previous chapter dealt in the internal sense with a third temptation - a stage when good was lacking. The present chapter deals in the internal sense with the stage that came after the people had been given that good - a fourth temptation, in which truth was lacking. This temptation is meant by the grumbling of the children of Israel because they had no water; so they were given the truth of faith by the Lord, which is meant by the water from the rock of Horeb.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. The change in this sentence from the plural us to the singular me occurs in the Hebrew.

2. i.e. They are almost ready to stone me.

3. literally, weakened
