Исход 15

Studie

   

1 Пою Іеговј: ибо Онъ высоко превознесся, Коня и всадника его ввергнулъ въ море.

2 Богъ, хвала моя, и пјснь, и сдјлался моимъ Спасителемъ; Онъ Богъ мой, и прославлю Его; Богъ отца моего, и превознесу Его.

3 Іегова мужъ брани, Іегова имя Ему.

4 Колесницы Фараоновы и силу его ввергнулъ Онъ въ море, и избранные военачальники его погрязли въ морј Чермномъ,

5 Бездны покрыли ихъ; Они пошли въ глубину, какъ камень.

6 Десница Твоя, Іегова, прославилась силою; Десница Твоя, Іегова, сразила врага.

7 Превосходствомъ величія Твоего Ты низложилъ возставшихъ противъ Тебя. Ты пустилъ ярость Твою, и она попалила ихъ, какъ солому.

8 Отъ гнјвнаго дуновенія Твоего восхолмились воды, Влага стала горою, Огустјли пучины въ сердцј моря.

9 Врагъ сказалъ: погонюсь, настигну, раздјлю добычу; Насытится ими душа моя, Обнажу мечъ мой, Истребитъ ихъ рука моя.

10 Ты дунулъ духомъ Твоимъ, покрыло ихъ море. Они погрузились, какъ свинецъ, въ сильныхъ водахъ.

11 Кто какъ Ты, Іегова, между богами? Кто, какъ Ты, величественъ святостію: Досточтимъ хвалами, Творецъ чудесъ?

12 Ты простеръ десницу Твою; Земля пожрала ихъ.

13 Ты ведешь милостію Твоею народъ сей, Тобою избавленный. Провождаешь силою Твоею въ жилище святыни Твоей.

14 Народы слышатъ, трепещутъ: Ужасъ объялъ жителей Палестины,

15 Мятутся князи Эдомовы, вождей Моавитскихъ объялъ трепетъ, Уныли всј жители Ханана.

16 Страхъ и ужасъ напалъ на нихъ, Отъ величія мышцы Твоей они онјмјли, какъ камень, Тогда какъ проходитъ народъ Твой, Іегова, Тогда какъ проходитъ народъ сей, Тобою пріобрјтенный.

17 Ты введешь его и насадишь его на горј наслјдія Твоего, На мјстј, которое Ты содјлалъ Себј жилищемъ, Іегова, Во святнлищј, которое создали руки Твои, Господи.

18 Іегова будетъ царствовать во вјкъ и въ вјчность.

19 Ибо вошли кони Фараоновы съ колесницами его и съ всадниками его въ море, но Іегова обратилъ на нихъ воды морскія; а сыны Израилевы прошли по сушј среди моря.

20 И взяла Маріамъ пророчица, сестра Ааронова, въ руку свою тимпанъ, и въ слјдъ ея шли всј женщины съ тимпанами и съ ликованіемъ.

21 И воспјла Маріамъ въ соотвјтствіе сынамъ Израилевымъ: Пойте Іеговј, ибо Онъ высоко превознесся, Коня и всадника его ввергнулъ въ море.

22 Потомъ повелъ Моисей Израиля отъ Чермнаго моря, и они вступили въ пустыню Суръ; и шли три дня пустынею, и не находили воды.

23 Пришли въ Мерру; и не могли пить воды въ Меррј, ибо она была горька: отъ сего и наречено тому мјсту имя: Мерра.

24 И возропталъ народъ на Моисея, говоря: что намъ пить?

25 Моисей возопилъ ко Іеговј, и показалъ ему Іегова дерево, которое онъ бросилъ въ воду. и вода сдјлаласъ сладкою. Тамъ Богъ далъ народу уставъ и законъ, и тамъ испытывалъ его,

26 и сказалъ: если ты будешь постоянно слушать гласа Іеговы, Бога твоего, и поступать праведно предъ очами Его и внимать заповјди Его, и соблюдешь всј уставы Его; то не наведу на тебя ни одной изъ болјзней, кои навелъ Я на Египтянъ, ибо Я Іегова врачъ твой.

27 И пришли въ Елимъ; тамъ было двјнадцать источниковъ водныхъ и семьдесятъ финиковыхъ деревъ; и тамъ при водахъ расположились станомъ.

8352. 'Saying, What shall we drink?' means that they cannot tolerate truths because, as a result of their lack of affection [for good], they find them unpleasant. This is clear from the meaning of 'drinking' as being taught truths and receiving them, and also as having an affection for them and consequently making them one's own, dealt with in 3069, 3168, 3772, 4017, 4018, but here as not being able to tolerate them because - as a result of the lack of affection for good, meant by 'the waters were bitter', according to the explanation above in 8349 - they are found to be unpleasant. This temptation consists in their complaining and their grief, because the truths which previously they have found pleasant, and which have thus constituted their spiritual life or the life of heaven for them, now seem unpleasant to them, so unpleasant that they can scarcely tolerate them.

[2] A merely natural person cannot believe that anything such as this could be a cause of grief. For he thinks, 'What difference does it make to me whether truths are pleasant or unpleasant? If they are unpleasant, let them be cast aside.' But a spiritual person has an entirely different feeling. Learning truths and being enlightened in the kinds of matters that belong to his soul and so to spiritual life is the delight of his life. Therefore when those truths are lacking, his spiritual life becomes a trial and burden to him; and this gives rise to grief and anguish. The reason is that the affection for good flows in unceasingly from the Lord by way of the internal man, arousing accordant things in the external man which have previously been the cause of delight belonging to an affection for truth; and when these things are under attack from the evils of self-love and love of the world, in which too the person has previously taken delight, a conflict of delights or affections results, which gives rise to anguish, and this in turn to grief and complaint.

[3] A brief statement needs to be made about the situation when temptation arises through lack of truth. Nourishment for spiritual life consists in goodness and truth, just as nourishment for natural life consists in food and drink. If good is lacking it is as if food is lacking; and when truth is lacking it is as if drink is lacking. The grief this causes is like the grief caused by hunger and thirst. This comparison arises from correspondence, for food corresponds to goodness, and drink to truth. This correspondence is also the reason why food and drink nourish the body better and more suitably if, during a dinner or a luncheon, the person has at the same time as he eats the pleasure of discussing with others the kinds of things he loves than if he sits at table alone without company. In the second situation the person's vessels for receiving food are narrowed, but in the first the same vessels are opened. These things are brought about by the correspondence of spiritual food and natural food. The reason for saying the pleasure of discussing with others the kinds of things he loves is that all that pleasure is related to goodness and truth; for there does not exist anything in the world that is unrelated to them both. What the person loves is related to the good present with him, and that which informs about good and so links itself to that good, is related to truth.
