1 τοτε ησεν μωυσης και οι υιοι ισραηλ την ωδην ταυτην τω θεω και ειπαν λεγοντες ασωμεν τω κυριω ενδοξως γαρ δεδοξασται ιππον και αναβατην ερριψεν εις θαλασσαν

2 βοηθος και σκεπαστης εγενετο μοι εις σωτηριαν ουτος μου θεος και δοξασω αυτον θεος του πατρος μου και υψωσω αυτον

3 κυριος συντριβων πολεμους κυριος ονομα αυτω

4 αρματα φαραω και την δυναμιν αυτου ερριψεν εις θαλασσαν επιλεκτους αναβατας τριστατας κατεποντισεν εν ερυθρα θαλασση

5 ποντω εκαλυψεν αυτους κατεδυσαν εις βυθον ωσει λιθος

6 η δεξια σου κυριε δεδοξασται εν ισχυι η δεξια σου χειρ κυριε εθραυσεν εχθρους

7 και τω πληθει της δοξης σου συνετριψας τους υπεναντιους απεστειλας την οργην σου και κατεφαγεν αυτους ως καλαμην

8 και δια πνευματος του θυμου σου διεστη το υδωρ επαγη ωσει τειχος τα υδατα επαγη τα κυματα εν μεσω της θαλασσης

9 ειπεν ο εχθρος διωξας καταλημψομαι μεριω σκυλα εμπλησω ψυχην μου ανελω τη μαχαιρη μου κυριευσει η χειρ μου

10 απεστειλας το πνευμα σου εκαλυψεν αυτους θαλασσα εδυσαν ωσει μολιβος εν υδατι σφοδρω

11 τις ομοιος σοι εν θεοις κυριε τις ομοιος σοι δεδοξασμενος εν αγιοις θαυμαστος εν δοξαις ποιων τερατα

12 εξετεινας την δεξιαν σου κατεπιεν αυτους γη

13 ωδηγησας τη δικαιοσυνη σου τον λαον σου τουτον ον ελυτρωσω παρεκαλεσας τη ισχυι σου εις καταλυμα αγιον σου

14 ηκουσαν εθνη και ωργισθησαν ωδινες ελαβον κατοικουντας φυλιστιιμ

15 τοτε εσπευσαν ηγεμονες εδωμ και αρχοντες μωαβιτων ελαβεν αυτους τρομος ετακησαν παντες οι κατοικουντες χανααν

16 επιπεσοι επ' αυτους φοβος και τρομος μεγεθει βραχιονος σου απολιθωθητωσαν εως αν παρελθη ο λαος σου κυριε εως αν παρελθη ο λαος σου ουτος ον εκτησω

17 εισαγαγων καταφυτευσον αυτους εις ορος κληρονομιας σου εις ετοιμον κατοικητηριον σου ο κατειργασω κυριε αγιασμα κυριε ο ητοιμασαν αι χειρες σου

18 κυριος βασιλευων τον αιωνα και επ' αιωνα και ετι

19 οτι εισηλθεν ιππος φαραω συν αρμασιν και αναβαταις εις θαλασσαν και επηγαγεν επ' αυτους κυριος το υδωρ της θαλασσης οι δε υιοι ισραηλ επορευθησαν δια ξηρας εν μεσω της θαλασσης

20 λαβουσα δε μαριαμ η προφητις η αδελφη ααρων το τυμπανον εν τη χειρι αυτης και εξηλθοσαν πασαι αι γυναικες οπισω αυτης μετα τυμπανων και χορων

21 εξηρχεν δε αυτων μαριαμ λεγουσα ασωμεν τω κυριω ενδοξως γαρ δεδοξασται ιππον και αναβατην ερριψεν εις θαλασσαν

22 εξηρεν δε μωυσης τους υιους ισραηλ απο θαλασσης ερυθρας και ηγαγεν αυτους εις την ερημον σουρ και επορευοντο τρεις ημερας εν τη ερημω και ουχ ηυρισκον υδωρ ωστε πιειν

23 ηλθον δε εις μερρα και ουκ ηδυναντο πιειν εκ μερρας πικρον γαρ ην δια τουτο επωνομασθη το ονομα του τοπου εκεινου πικρια

24 και διεγογγυζεν ο λαος επι μωυσην λεγοντες τι πιομεθα

25 εβοησεν δε μωυσης προς κυριον και εδειξεν αυτω κυριος ξυλον και ενεβαλεν αυτο εις το υδωρ και εγλυκανθη το υδωρ εκει εθετο αυτω δικαιωματα και κρισεις και εκει επειρασεν αυτον

26 και ειπεν εαν ακοη ακουσης της φωνης κυριου του θεου σου και τα αρεστα εναντιον αυτου ποιησης και ενωτιση ταις εντολαις αυτου και φυλαξης παντα τα δικαιωματα αυτου πασαν νοσον ην επηγαγον τοις αιγυπτιοις ουκ επαξω επι σε εγω γαρ ειμι κυριος ο ιωμενος σε

27 και ηλθοσαν εις αιλιμ και ησαν εκει δωδεκα πηγαι υδατων και εβδομηκοντα στελεχη φοινικων παρενεβαλον δε εκει παρα τα υδατα

8265. 'The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea' means in that as a result simply of His presence falsities arising from evil have been damned and cast into hell. This is clear from the meaning of 'the horse' as falsities belonging to a perverted understanding, for 'horse' means the power of understanding, see 2761, 2762, 3217, 5321, and in the contrary sense a perverted understanding, which is no understanding at all, and therefore falsity is meant in that contrary sense by 'horse' and false factual knowledge by 'Pharaoh's horse', 6125, 8146, 8148; from the meaning of 'rider' (or 'horseman') as reasonings based on that false knowledge, dealt with in 8146, 8148; and from the meaning of 'throwing into the sea' as damning and casting into hell. 'The sea', the Sea Suph at this point, is the hell where the falsities arising from evil are, the falsities of those belonging to the Church who have upheld separated faith and led a life of evil, see 8099, 8137, 8148, which is why they are called falsities arising from evil. The fact that those falsities were damned and cast into hell as a result simply of the Lord's presence was shown in the previous chapter. The evil cannot at all bear or put up with God's presence. His presence causes them pain, torments them, and so to speak snuffs the life out of them; they behave like those in the throes of death. The reason for this is that what is God's has the totality of power within it; it destroys and wipes out that which is opposed to it, namely falsity and evil. This is why at God's presence the life of those steeped in falsity and evil becomes burdensome and contains, in the measure that He is present, the feeling of hell within it. But in order that those steeped in falsities and evils may not be completely crushed and suffer torment they are shielded by their own falsities and evils, which act like mists. These are by nature such that they diminish, or divert, or smother the flow of what is Divine in the same way that earthly mists or clouds normally do to sunrays.

[2] These things are meant by the following words in John,

They will say to the mountains and rocks, Rush down on us and hide us from the face of Him who is seated on the throne and from the anger of the Lamb. For the great day of His anger has come; who therefore will be able to stand firm? Revelation 6:16-17.

Evils and falsities are meant by 'the mountains and rocks' which they will address, saying that they should rush down on them and hide them. 'The anger of the Lamb' means torment, the appearance being that the Divine would cause the torment because of His anger, but the reality being that the falsities and evils themselves are responsible for it. The words contained in Isaiah 2:10, Hosea 10:8, and Luke 23:30 have a similar meaning. The fact that damnation takes place as a result simply of the Lord's presence is also meant by these words that follow in the song,

You send out Your wrath, it eats them up like stubble. And with the wind of Your nostrils the waters were heaped up, the floods stood as a heap. You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them over; they sought a deep place. You stretched out Your right hand, the earth swallowed them. Verses 7-8, 10, 12.

Words with a similar meaning occur in very many other places in the Word.

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.
