Исход 14

Studie

   

1 И говорилъ Іегова Моисею, и сказалъ:

2 скажи сынамъ Израилевымъ, чтобъ они обратились и расположились станомъ предъ Пигахироѕомъ, между Мигдоломъ и между моремъ, предъ Ваал-Цефономъ, насупротивъ его поставьте станъ у моря.

3 И скажетъ Фараонъ о сынахъ Израилевыхъ: они заблудились въ землј сей, заперла ихъ пустыня.

4 А Я ожесточу сердце Фараона, и онъ погонится за ними; и покажу славу Мою надъ Фараономъ и надъ всею силою его: и узнаютъ Египтяне, что Я Іегова. Такъ и сдјлали.

5 Царю Египетскому донесено было, что народъ бјжалъ; и обратилось сердце Фараона и рабовъ его противъ народа сего, и они сказали: что это мы сдјлали, зачјмъ отпустили Израилътянъ изъ рабства нашего?

6 Фараонъ впрягъ колесницу свою, и народъ свой взялъ съ собою.

7 И взялъ шестьсотъ колесницъ отборныхъ и всј колесницы Египетскія, и начальниковъ надъ всјми ими.

8 И ожесточилъ Іегова сердце Фараона, царя Египетскаго, и онъ погнался за сынами Израилевыми, сыны же Израилевы шли подъ рукою высокою.

9 И погнались за ними Египтяне, всј кони конницы Фараоновой, и всадники его, и вся сила его, и настигли ихъ расположившихся у моря, при Пигахироѕј предъ Ваал-Цефономъ.

10 Фараонъ приближался, и сыны Израилевы возвели очи свои, и вотъ, Египтяне идутъ въ слјдъ ихъ: и весьма устрашились, и возопили сыны Израилевы къ Іеговј;

11 и говорили Моисею: развј нјтъ гробовъ въ Египтј, что ты привелъ насъ умирать въ пустынј? что это ты сдјлалъ съ нами, выведши насъ изъ Египта?

12 Не сіе ли самое говорили мы тебј въ Египтј: оставь насъ, пусть мы работаемъ Египтянамъ? Ибо лучше намъ быть въ рабствј у Египтянъ, нежели умереть въ пустынј.

13 Но Моисей сказалъ народу: не бойтесь, стойте, и вы увидите спасеніе Іеговы, которое Онъ явитъ вамъ нынј; ибо Египтянъ, которыхъ видите вы нынј, уже не увидите вјчно.

14 Іегова будетъ сражаться, за васъ, а вы молчите.

15 И сказалъ Іегова Моисею: что ты вопіешь ко Мнј? скажи сынамъ Израилевымъ, чтобъ они шли.

16 А ты подними посохъ твой и простри руку твою на море, и разсјки его, и пройдутъ сыны Израилевы среди моря по сушј.

17 Я же ожесточу сердце Египтянъ, и они пойдутъ въ слјдъ за ними. И покажу славу Мою надъ Фараономъ и надъ всею силою его, надъ колесницами его и надъ всадниками его.

18 И узнаютъ Египтяне, что Я Іегова, когда покажу славу Мою надъ Фараономъ, надъ колесницами его, и надъ всадниками его.

19 И двигнулся Ангелъ Божій, шедшій предъ станомъ Израиля, и пошелъ позади ихъ, двигнулся и столпъ облачный, который былъ предъ ними, и сталъ позади ихъ.

20 И пошелъ между станомъ Египтянъ и между станомъ Израиля, и былъ облакомъ и мракомъ для однихъ, и освјщалъ ночь для, другихъ, и не сблизились одни съ другими во всю ночь.

21 И простеръ Моисей руку свою на море; и сильнымъ восточнымъ вјтромъ гналъ Іегова море во всю сію ночь, и сдјлалъ море сушею, и разступились воды.

22 И пошли сыны Израилевы среди моря по сушј: воды же были имъ стјною по правую и по лјвую сторону.

23 Египтяне погнались, и вошли за ними въ средину моря, всј кони Фараоновы, колесницы его и всадники его.

24 И было въ утреннюю стражу, воззрјлъ Іегова изъ столпа огнеенаго и облачнаго на станъ Египтянъ, и привелъ въ замјшательство станъ Египетскій,

25 и отнялъ колеса у колесницъ ихъ, такъ что они влекли ихъ съ трудомъ. И сказали Египтяне: побјжимъ отъ Израильтянъ, потому что Іегова сражается за нихъ противъ Египтянъ.

26 И сказалъ Іегова Моисею: простри руку твою на море, и обратятся воды на Египтянъ, на колесницы ихъ и всадниковъ ихъ.

27 И простеръ Моисей руку свою на море, и море возвратилось въ свое мјсто при наступленіи утра, а Египтяне бјжали на встрјчу водј. Такимъ образомъ Іегова погрузилъ Египтянъ среди моря.

28 Воды возвратились, и покрыли колесницы и всадниковъ всей силы Фараоновой, шедшихъ за ними по морю; не осталось ни одного изъ нихъ.

29 А сыны Израилевы прошли по сушј среди моря; воды имъ были стјною по правую и по лјвую сторону.

30 Такъ избавилъ Іегова въ день тотъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ изъ рукъ Египтянъ; и увидјлъ Израиль Египтянъ мертвыхъ на берегу моря.

31 И увидјлъ Израиль руку великую, которую явилъ Іегова надъ Египтянами, и убоялся народъ Іеговы, и ввјрились Іеговј и Моисею рабу Его. [ (Exodus 14:32) Тогда Моисей и сыны Израилевы воспјли Іеговј пјснь сію, говоря: ]

8282. 'With Your right hand, O Jehovah, You break the enemy in pieces' means the effect almighty power has on evils and resulting falsities, whose power is eliminated. This is clear from the meaning of 'Jehovah's right hand' as the Lord's almighty power, dealt with immediately above in 8281; from the meaning of 'breaking in pieces' as eliminating; and from the meaning of 'the enemy' as evils and falsities, since nothing else is meant in the spiritual sense of the Word by those who are enemies, foes, and haters. The reason why the terms enemies, foes, and haters are used, is not that the Lord is an enemy to them or hates them, but because they hate and are hostile towards the Divine. When however they undergo vastation which they themselves bring about, and cast themselves into damnation and into hell, it appears as though the Divine is responsible for what is happening to them. This appearance or illusion is as when someone sees the sun making a circuit each day around our planet and from this supposes that the sun is moving, when in fact the planet is doing so. Or it is as when someone receives a sentence from the king or judge and is punished because he has broken the law, and then supposes that the king or judge is responsible for what he suffers, when in fact he who has broken the law is himself responsible. Or that appearance is as when someone hurls himself into water or fire, or onto an outstretched sword, or an enemy troop, and then supposes that these are responsible for his destruction, when in fact he himself is. The same is so when those immersed in evil raise themselves up against the Divine, and cast themselves into the midst of His presence.

8281. 'Your right hand, O Jehovah, has been made large in strength' means that the Lord's almighty power has been displayed. This is clear from the meaning of 'Jehovah's right hand' as almighty power, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'has been magnified with strength' as has been displayed, for Divine power is displayed by the strength magnifying it. The reason why 'Jehovah's right hand' means almighty power is that in the Word 'hand' means power, and so 'right hand' means exceedingly great power. Therefore when the expressions 'hand' or 'right hand' are used in reference to Jehovah, Divine power or almighty power is meant. For the meaning of the expressions 'hand' and 'right hand' as power, see 878, 4931-4937, 6292, 6947, 7188, 7189, 7518, and as almighty power, when they are used in reference to Jehovah, 3387, 7518, 7673, 8050, 8069, 8153.

[2] The fact that 'Jehovah's right hand' means Divine power or almighty power is also clear from the following places in the Word: In Matthew,

Jesus said, Hereafter you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven. Matthew 26:64; Mark 14:62.

In Luke,

Hereafter the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God. Luke 22:69.

Also in David,

Jehovah said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies as Your foot-stool. You are a priest for ever after the manner of Melchizedek. The Lord is at Your right hand; He struck kings in the day of [His] anger. Psalms 110:1, 4-5; Matthew 22:43-44.

Anyone who does not know that the expression 'right hand', when used in reference to Jehovah, means almighty power will gather no other idea from these the Lord's words than that the Lord will sit on His Father's right hand and have dominion in the way that one sitting on a king's right hand on earth has. But the internal sense shows what one should understand in those places by 'sitting at the right hand', namely God's almighty power. Hence also the expressions 'sitting at the right hand of power' and 'at the right hand of the power of God'.

[3] The Lord is plainly the One who possesses that almighty power, for the words quoted above refer to the Lord, and 'Lord' in David is used to mean the Lord in respect of Divine Truth, as also is 'Son of Man' in the Gospels, since Divine Truth is that which possesses almighty power, received from Divine Good.

Divine Truth possesses almighty power, see 6948, 8200.

In general power belongs to truth derived from good, 3091, 3563, 4931, 6344, 6423.

'Hand' therefore has reference to truth, 3091, 4931.

'The Son of Man' is Divine Truth emanating from the Lord, 2159, 2803, 2813, 3704.

[4] Divine power or almighty power is meant by 'right hand' in the following places also: In David,

Now I know that Jehovah saves His anointed. Let Him answer 1 Him in heaven through the mighty acts of His saving right hand. 2 Psalms 20:6.

In the same author,

O Jehovah, look from heaven and see, and visit this vine and the twig which Your right hand has planted, upon the son [whom] You have made strong for Yourself. Psalms 80:14-15

In the same author,

You have an arm with power; strong is Your hand, Your right hand will be lifted up. Psalms 89:13.

In the same author,

My strength and song is Jah; He has become my salvation. The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; the right hand of Jehovah has done a mighty deed, the right hand of Jehovah has been exalted, the right hand of Jehovah has done a mighty deed. Psalms 118:14-16.

[5] In these places 'the right hand of Jehovah' stands for almighty power, and in the highest sense for the Lord in respect of Divine Truth. This may be seen more plainly elsewhere in David,

Let Your hand, O Jehovah, be for the man of Your right hand, for the son of man [whom] You have made strong for Yourself. Psalms 80:17.

'The man of Jehovah's right hand' and 'the son of man' stand for the Lord in respect of Divine Truth. In the same author,

You drove out the nations with Your hand. They did not gain possession of the land by their own sword, and their arm did not save them, but Your right hand, and Your arm, and the light of Your face. Psalms 44:2-3.

'The light' of Jehovah's face is Divine Truth derived from Divine Good, so too is His 'right hand' and 'arm'. And in Isaiah,

God 3 has sworn by His right hand, and by His mighty arm. 4 Isaiah 62:8.

Here also 'God's right hand' and 'His mighty arm' stand for the Lord in respect of Divine Truth, for Jehovah or the Lord swears by none except Himself, 2842, that is, only by Divine Truth, since He is that Truth because it emanates from Him.

[6] Here is the reason why various places in the Word call the Lord not only 'the right hand of Jehovah' and 'the arm of Jehovah' but also His 'strength' by which He breaks enemies in pieces, and His 'hammer' too, as in Jeremiah 51:19-21, and following verses. The Lord also came into the world, became Divine Truth there, and subsequently became Divine Good from which Divine Truth flowed, in order to shut all falsities and evils up in hell, gather together all forms of good and truths into heaven, and there arrange them into Divine order.

From all this it is now clear that 'the right hand of Jehovah' in the Word means almighty power, which the Divine possesses through Divine Truth. This is where the meaning of 'right hand' as exceedingly great power has its origin; for those in the Grand Man, which is heaven, who correlate with the shoulders, arms, and hands are those who are made powerful by truth springing from good, that is, by faith springing from love, 4931-4937, 7518.
