Išėjimas 17

Studie

   

1 Visi izraelitai keliavo toliau iš Sino dykumos sustodami, kai Viešpats įsakydavo. Jie pasistatė stovyklą efidime. Čia jie nerado geriamo vandens

2 ir priekaištavo Mozei, sakydami: “Duok mums vandens atsigerti!” Mozė jiems atsakė: “Ko burnojate prieš mane? Kodėl gundote Viešpatį?”

3 Žmonės, ištroškę vandens, murmėjo prieš Mozę: “Kodėl mus išvedei iš Egipto, kad mus, mūsų vaikus ir gyvulius numarintum troškuliu?”

4 Tada Mozė šaukėsi Viešpaties: “Ką man daryti su šita tauta? Nedaug trūksta, kad jie užmuštų mane akmenimis”.

5 Viešpats atsakė Mozei: “Išeik prieš tautą kartu su Izraelio vyresniaisiais; laikyk rankoje lazdą, kuria sudavei į upę, ir eik.

6 Aš stovėsiu prieš tave ant uolos Horebe. Tu suduosi lazda į uolą, iš jos ištekės vanduo ir žmonės galės atsigerti”. Mozė taip ir padarė Izraelio vyresniųjų akyse.

7 Jis praminė tą vietą Masa ir Meriba dėl to, kad izraelitai priekaištavo ir gundė Viešpatį, sakydami: “Ar yra Viešpats tarp mūsų?”

8 Tada atėjo amalekiečiai ir kariavo su Izraeliu efidime.

9 Mozė įsakė Jozuei: “Pasirink vyrų ir eik kariauti prieš amalekiečius! ytoj aš atsistosiu ant kalvos viršūnės ir laikysiu Dievo lazdą rankoje”.

10 Jozuė padarė, kaip jam Mozė buvo įsakęs, ir kovojo prieš amalekiečius. Mozė, Aaronas ir Hūras užlipo ant kalvos viršūnės.

11 Kol Mozė laikydavo pakėlęs savo rankas, laimėdavo izraelitai; kai tik jas nuleisdavo, laimėdavo amalekiečiai.

12 Mozės rankos pavargo; jie tad paėmė akmenį, ir jis atsisėdo ant jo. Aaronas ir Hūras laikė jo rankas, vienas iš vienos, kitas iš kitos pusės; taip jo rankos buvo pakeltos iki saulės nusileidimo.

13 Tuo būdu Jozuė nugalėjo Amaleką ir jo tautą savo kardu.

14 Viešpats liepė Mozei: “Įrašyk tai į knygą atminimui ir perskaityk Jozuei girdint, kad Aš išnaikinsiu atminimą apie amalekiečius iš po dangaus”.

15 Mozė pastatė aukurą ir jį pavadino “Viešpats yra mano vėliava”.

16 Nes jis sakė: “Viešpats prisiekė ir Jis kariaus prieš amalekiečius per kartų kartas”.

8668. 'And Moses told his father-in-law all that Jehovah had done to Pharaoh and the Egyptians' means perception at this time from God's truth' regarding the power of the Lord's Divine Human against those who were steeped in falsities and engaged in molestation. This is clear from the meaning of 'Moses told' as perception from God's truth, 'telling' meaning perceiving, see 3209, and 'Moses' representing God's truth, 6752, 6771, 7010, 7014, 7382; from the representation of 'the father-in-law of Moses' as Divine Good, the source of the good joined to God's truth, dealt with in 8643, 8644; from the meaning of 'all that Jehovah had done' as the things which had been done for the children of Israel in Egypt and after that in the wilderness - and since these things imply in the internal sense the things that were done for those belonging to the Lord's spiritual Church who were held back on the lower earth until the Lord glorified the Human within Himself, the words here mean perception regarding the power of the Lord's Divine Human (that those who belonged to the Lord's spiritual Church were held back on the lower earth, and were saved by the power of the Lord's Divine Human, see 6854, 7035, 7091 (end), 7828, 8018, 8054, 8099, 8321); and from the representation of 'Pharaoh and the Egyptians' as those who were steeped in falsities and engaged in molestation, dealt with in 7097, 7107, 7110, 7126, 7142, 7220, 7228, 7317.

Exodus 17

Studie

   

1 All the congregation of the children of Israel traveled from the wilderness of Sin, by their journeys, according to Yahweh's commandment, and encamped in Rephidim; but there was no water for the people to drink.

2 Therefore the people quarreled with Moses, and said, "Give us water to drink." Moses said to them, "Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test Yahweh?"

3 The people were thirsty for water there; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us, our children, and our livestock with thirst?"

4 Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, "What shall I do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me."

5 Yahweh said to Moses, "Walk on before the people, and take the elders of Israel with you, and take the rod in your hand with which you struck the Nile, and go.

6 Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb. You shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink." Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

7 He called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because the children of Israel quarreled, and because they tested Yahweh, saying, "Is Yahweh among us, or not?"

8 Then Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

9 Moses said to Joshua, "Choose men for us, and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with God's rod in my hand."

10 So Joshua did as Moses had told him, and fought with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

11 It happened, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

12 But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side. His hands were steady until sunset.

13 Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

14 Yahweh said to Moses, "Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under the sky."

15 Moses built an altar, and called its name Yahweh our Banner.

16 He said, "Yah has sworn: 'Yahweh will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.'"
