8272. Verses 3-5 Jehovah is a man of war; Jehovah is His name. Pharaoh's chariots and his army He has thrown into the sea; and his choice tertiary commanders ¹ have been drowned in the Sea Suph. The depths have covered them; they went down into deep places like a stone.

'Jehovah is a man of war' means that the Lord provides protection against all evils and falsities, which come from the hells. 'Jehovah is His name' means that He alone is the Source of all things. 'Pharaoh's chariots and his army He has thrown into the sea' means the particular and the general falsities arising from evil of those belonging to the Church who led a life of evil in it, and the fact that at His presence those falsities have cast themselves into the hells. 'And his choice tertiary commanders' means all aspects together with specific details. 'Have been drowned in the Sea Suph' means that they have shut themselves up in falsities arising from evil. 'The depths have covered them' means that falsities resulting from evil desires have overwhelmed them. 'They went down into deep places like a stone' means that they sank down to lower levels as if on account of heaviness.
