Εξοδος πλήθους 15

Studie

   

1 Τοτε εψαλεν ο Μωυσης και οι υιοι Ισραηλ την ωδην ταυτην προς τον Κυριον, και ειπον λεγοντες, Ας ψαλλω προς τον Κυριον· διοτι εδοξασθη ενδοξως· τον ιππον και τον αναβατην αυτου ερριψεν εις την θαλασσαν.

2 Ο Κυριος ειναι η δυναμις μου και το ασμα μου, και εσταθη η σωτηρια μου· αυτος ειναι Θεος μου και θελω δοξασει αυτον· Θεος του πατρος μου, και θελω υψωσει αυτον.

3 Ο Κυριος ειναι δυνατος πολεμιστης· Κυριος το ονομα αυτου.

4 Του Φαραω τας αμαξας και το στρατευμα αυτου ερριψεν εις την θαλασσαν· και εκλεκτοι πολεμαρχοι αυτου κατεποντισθησαν εν τη Ερυθρα θαλασση.

5 Αι αβυσσοι εσκεπασαν αυτους· ως πετρα κατεβυθισθησαν εις τα βαθη.

6 Η δεξια σου, Κυριε, εδοξασθη εις δυναμιν· η δεξια σου, Κυριε, συνετριψε τον εχθρον.

7 Και με το μεγεθος της υπεροχης σου εξωλοθρευσας τους υπεναντιους σου· εξαπεστειλας την οργην σου και κατεφαγεν αυτους ως καλαμην.

8 Και με την πνοην του θυμου σου τα υδατα επεσωρευθησαν ομου· τα κυματα εσταθησαν ως σωρος, αι αβυσσοι επηξαν εν τω μεσω της θαλασσης.

9 Ο εχθρος ειπε, Θελω καταδιωξει, θελω καταφθασει, θελω διαμοιρασθη τα λαφυρα· η ψυχη μου θελει χορτασθη επ' αυτους· θελω συρει την μαχαιραν μου, η χειρ μου θελει αφανισει αυτους.

10 Εφυσησας με τον ανεμον σου και η θαλασσα εσκεπασεν αυτους· κατεβυθισθησαν ως μολυβδος εις τα φοβερα υδατα.

11 Τις ομοιος σου Κυριε, μεταξυ των θεων; Τις ομοιος σου, ενδοξος εις αγιοτητα, θαυμαστος εις υμνους, ενεργων τεραστια;

12 Εξετεινας την δεξιαν σου, και η γη κατεπιεν αυτους.

13 Με το ελεος σου ωδηγησας τον λαον τουτον, τον οποιον ελυτρωσας· ωδηγησας αυτον με την δυναμιν σου προς την κατοικιαν της αγιοτητος σου.

14 Οι λαοι θελουσιν ακουσει και φριξει· πονοι θελουσι κατακυριευσει τους κατοικους της Παλαιστινης.

15 Τοτε θελουσιν εκπλαγη οι ηγεμονες Εδωμ· τρομος θελει καταλαβει τους αρχοντας του Μωαβ· παντες οι κατοικοι της Χανααν θελουσιν αναλυθη.

16 Φοβος και τρομος θελει επιπεσει επ' αυτους· απο του μεγεθους του βραχιονος σου θελουσιν απολιθωθη, εωσου περαση ο λαος σου, Κυριε, εωσου περαση ο λαος ουτος, τον οποιον απεκτησας.

17 Θελεις εισαγαγει αυτους και φυτευσει αυτους εις το ορος της κληρονομιας σου, τον τοπον, Κυριε, τον οποιον ητοιμασας δια κατοικιαν σου, το αγιαστηριον, Κυριε, το οποιον αι χειρες σου εστησαν.

18 Ο Κυριος θελει βασιλευει εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων.

19 Διοτι εισηλθον οι ιπποι του Φαραω εις την θαλασσαν μετα των αμαξων αυτου και μετα των ιππεων αυτου, και ο Κυριος εστρεψεν επ' αυτους τα υδατα της θαλασσης· οι δε υιοι Ισραηλ επερασαν δια ξηρας εν τω μεσω της θαλασσης.

20 Μαριαμ δε η προφητις, η αδελφη του Ααρων ελαβε το τυμπανον εν τη χειρι αυτης και πασαι αι γυναικες εξηλθον κατοπιν αυτης μετα τυμπανων και χορων.

21 Και η Μαριαμ ανταπεκρινετο προς αυτους, λεγουσα, Ψαλλετε εις τον Κυριον· διοτι εδοξασθη ενδοξως· τον ιππον και τον αναβατην αυτου ερριψεν εις θαλασσαν.

22 Τοτε εσηκωσεν ο Μωυσης τους Ισραηλιτας απο της Ερυθρας θαλασσης, και εξηλθον εις την ερημον Σουρ· και περιεπατουν τρεις ημερας εν τη ερημω και δεν ευρισκον υδωρ.

23 Και εκειθεν ηλθον εις Μερραν· δεν ηδυναντο ομως να πιωσιν εκ των υδατων της Μερρας, διοτι ησαν πικρα· δια τουτο και επωνομασθη Μερρα.

24 Και εγογγυζεν ο λαος κατα του Μωυσεως, λεγων, Τι θελομεν πιει;

25 Ο δε Μωυσης εβοησε προς τον Κυριον· και εδειξεν εις αυτον ο Κυριος ξυλον, το οποιον οτε ερριψεν εις τα υδατα, τα υδατα εγλυκανθησαν. Εκει εδωκεν εις αυτους παραγγελιαν και διαταγμα, και εκει εδοκιμασεν αυτους·

26 και ειπεν, Εαν ακουσης επιμελως την φωνην Κυριου του Θεου σου και πραττης το αρεστον εις τους οφθαλμους αυτου και δωσης ακροασιν εις τας εντολας αυτου και φυλαξης παντα τα προσταγματα αυτου, δεν θελω φερει επι σε ουδεμιαν εκ των νοσων, τας οποιας εφερα κατα των Αιγυπτιων· διοτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος ο θεραπευων σε.

27 Επειτα ηλθον εις Αιλειμ, οπου ησαν δωδεκα πηγαι υδατων και εβδομηκοντα δενδρα φοινικων· και εκει εστρατοπεδευσαν πλησιον των υδατων.

8356. 'And the waters became sweet' means that as a result the truths were made pleasant. This is clear from the meaning of 'sweet' as pleasant, for 'sweet' in the spiritual sense means sweetness of life, which is the same thing as pleasantness; and from the meaning of 'the waters' as truths, dealt with immediately above in 8355. The situation here is that a person's feeling of affection for truth comes from good. For goodness and truth have been joined together as if in marriage, and therefore one loves the other in the way that married partner loves married partner. This also explains why in the Word, when goodness and truth are joined together, they are likened to a marriage, and why the truths and forms of good born from that marriage are called sons and daughters. From this it becomes clear that the pleasantness belonging to the affection for truth traces its origin back solely to good. Experience too demonstrates this; for people who lead a good life, that is, who love God and their neighbour, also love the truths of faith. That being so, as long as good is flowing in and being received, truth appears pleasant. But as soon as good ceases to flow in, that is, as soon as evil begins to predominate and the inflow of good to be held back, truth is immediately sensed to be unpleasant; for truth and evil repel and loathe each other. From all this one may now see why the order was given to throw wood into the bitter waters, and also why the waters were made sweet by the wood that had been thrown into them. God would never have commanded such an action to be taken if those kinds of things had not been meant by it. For God could have rendered those waters sweet without the use of wood.

Exodus 15

Studie

   

1 Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to Yahweh, and said, "I will sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.

2 Yah is my strength and song. He has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will praise him; my father's God, and I will exalt him.

3 Yahweh is a man of war. Yahweh is his name.

4 He has cast Pharaoh's chariots and his army into the sea. His chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea.

5 The deeps cover them. They went down into the depths like a stone.

6 Your right hand, Yahweh, is glorious in power. Your right hand, Yahweh, dashes the enemy in pieces.

7 In the greatness of your excellency, you overthrow those who rise up against you. You send forth your wrath. It consumes them as stubble.

8 With the blast of your nostrils, the waters were piled up. The floods stood upright as a heap. The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.

9 The enemy said, 'I will pursue. I will overtake. I will divide the spoil. My desire shall be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.'

10 You blew with your wind. The sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.

11 Who is like you, Yahweh, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

12 You stretched out your right hand. The earth swallowed them.

13 "You, in your loving kindness, have led the people that you have redeemed. You have guided them in your strength to your holy habitation.

14 The peoples have heard. They tremble. Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia.

15 Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed. Trembling takes hold of the mighty men of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away.

16 Terror and dread falls on them. By the greatness of your arm they are as still as a stone-- until your people pass over, Yahweh, until the people pass over who you have purchased.

17 You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, the place, Yahweh, which you have made for yourself to dwell in; the sanctuary, Lord, which your hands have established.

18 Yahweh shall reign forever and ever."

19 For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and Yahweh brought back the waters of the sea on them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.

20 Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand; and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dances.

21 Miriam answered them, "Sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea."

22 Moses led Israel onward from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.

23 When they came to Marah, they couldn't drink from the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore its name was called Marah.

24 The people murmured against Moses, saying, "What shall we drink?"

25 Then he cried to Yahweh. Yahweh showed him a tree, and he threw it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there he tested them;

26 and he said, "If you will diligently listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and will pay attention to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you, which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am Yahweh who heals you."

27 They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
