Исход 17

Studie

   

1 Потомъ отправилось все общество сыновъ Израилевыхъ изъ пустыни Синъ въ путь свой, по повелјнію Іеговы; и расположилось станомъ въ Рефидимј, и небыло воды пить народу.

2 И укорялъ народъ Моисея, и говорилъ: дайте намъ воды пить: а Моисей говорилъ имъ: что вы укоряете меня? что искушаете Іегову?

3 И жаждалъ тамъ народъ воды, и ропталъ народъ на Моисея, говоря: зачјмъ ты вывелъ насъ изъ Египта, уморить жаждою меня и дјтей моихъ и стада мои?

4 Моисей возопилъ къ Іеговј и сказалъ: что мнј дјлать съ народомъ симъ? ещде немного, и они побьютъ меня камнями.

5 Іегова сказалъ Моисею: пройди передъ народомъ, и возми съ собою нјкоторыхъ изъ старјйшинъ Израильскихъ, и посохъ твой, которымъ ты поражалъ рјку, возми въ руку твою и поди.

6 Вотъ, Я стану предъ тобою тамъ на скалј въ Хоривј; и ты ударишь въ скалу, и пойдетъ изъ нея вода, и будетъ пить народъ. Такъ и сдјлалъ Моисей предъ очами старјйшинъ Израильскихъ.

7 И нарекъ мјсту тому имя: Масса и Мерива, потому что сыны Израилевы укоряли Моисея, и искушали Іегову, говоря: точно ли Іегова среди насъ, или нјтъ.

8 И пришелъ Амаликъ, и воевалъ съ Израилемъ въ Рефидимј.

9 Тогда Моисей сказалъ Іисусу: выбери намъ мужей, и поди, сразись съ Амаликомъ; завтра стану на вершинј холма, и посохъ Божій будетъ въ рукј моей.

10 Іисусъ такъ и сдјлалъ, какъ сказалъ ему Моисей, чтобы сразиться съ Амаликомъ; а Моисей и Ааронъ и Оръ взошли на вершину холма.

11 И когда Моисей поднималъ руку свою, одолјвалъ Израиль; а когда опускалъ руку свою, одолјвалъ Амаликъ.

12 Но какъ руки Моисеевы устали, то взяли камень и положили подъ него, и онъ сјлъ на немъ. Ааронъ же и Оръ поддерживали руки его, одинъ съ одной, а другой съ другой стороны. Такимъ образомъ руки его подкрјплены были до захожденія солнца.

13 И низложилъ Іисусъ Амалика и народъ его остріемъ меча.

14 И сказалъ Іегова Моисею: напиши сіе для памяти въ книгу, и внуши Іисусу, что Я совершенно изглажу память Амалика изъ поднебесной.

15 И создалъ Моисей жертвенникъ, и нарекъ ему имя: Іегова Нисси.

16 Потому что, сказалъ онъ, знамя Іеговы въ рукј моей; Брань у Іеговы противъ Амалика изъ рода въ родъ.

8600. Verses 10-13 And Joshua did as Moses said to him, by fighting against Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. And so it was, when Moses raised up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. And the hands of Moses were heavy; and they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and one on the other. And so it was, his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. And Joshua decimated 1 Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

'And Joshua did as Moses said to him' means that the truth which engages in conflict acted as directed by Divine Truth. 'By fighting against Amalek' means against falsity arising from interior evil. 'And Moses, Aaron, and Hur' means levels of Divine Truth that follow one another in order. 'Went up to the top of the hill' means in the good of charity. 'And so it was, when Moses raised up his hand' means whenever the faith of those belonging to the spiritual Church looked towards the Lord. 'Israel prevailed' means that the truth engaged in conflict would then be winning. 'And when he let down his hand' means whenever their faith looked downwards or away from the Lord towards self and the world. 'Amalek prevailed' means that the falsity would then be winning. 'And the hands of Moses were heavy' means that the power to look upwards to the Lord was failing. 'And they took a stone' means the lowest level of God's truth. 'And put it under him, and he sat on it' means correspondence with the highest level of truth. 'And Aaron and Hur' means the levels of truth next in order. 'Supported his hands' means support supplied to the power of the truth engaged in conflict. 'One on one side, and one on the other' means in every direction. 'And so it was, his hands were steady' means the might which the power possessed then. 'Until the going down of the sun' means when that state was coming to an end. 'And Joshua decimated Amalek and his people' means lessening the power of those steeped in falsity arising from interior evil. 'With the edge of the sword' means by means of truth engaged in conflict.
