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.

8618. Verses 14-16 And Jehovah said to Moses, Write this [for] a memorial in the book, and put it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven. And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah Nissi. And he said, Because [Amalek's] hand is against the throne of Jah, the war of Jehovah will be against Amalek from generation to generation.

'And Jehovah said to Moses' means instruction. 'Write this [for] a memorial in the book' means for everlasting remembrance. 'And put it in the ears of Joshua' means with a view to obedience on the part of truth engaged in conflict with that falsity. 'That I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven' means that that falsity is to be completely removed, so that it may no longer engage in conflict. 'And Moses built an altar' means for the holiness of worship and of remembrance. 'And called the name of it Jehovah Nissi' means constant warfare and the Lord's protection against those steeped in falsity arising from interior evil. 'And he said, Because [Amalek's] hand is against the throne of Jah' means because they wish to do violence to the Lord's spiritual kingdom. 'The war of Jehovah will be against Amalek from generation to generation' means that by the Lord's Divine power they have been subjugated and cast into hell, out of which they can never rise up.

8294. 'I will unsheathe the sword' means unceasing conflict on the part of falsity arising from evil. This is clear from the meaning of 'the sword' as truth engaged in conflict against falsity and evil, and in the contrary sense as falsity engaged in conflict against truth and good, dealt with in 2799, 4499; and from the meaning of 'unsheathing', or baring it, as unceasing conflict until the enemy has been laid low. Unceasing conflict is likewise meant by an unsheathed or drawn sword in Moses, I will scatter you among the nations, and unsheathe a sword after you. Leviticus 26:33.

In Ezekiel,

I will scatter to every wind all his troop; and I will unsheathe the sword after them. Ezekiel 12:14.

In the same prophet,

Thus said Jehovah, Behold Me against you; I will draw my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked. My sword will go out of its sheath against all flesh from south to north; so that all flesh may know that I Jehovah have drawn My sword out of its sheath, and it is not going to return any more. Ezekiel 21:3-5.

Here 'unsheathing' or 'drawing the sword' stands for not ceasing to engage in conflict until enemies have been laid low, and so stands for unceasing conflict. Unceasing conflict against evils and falsities is also meant by the unsheathed sword of the Prince of the army of Jehovah whom Joshua saw when he entered the land of Canaan, Joshua 5:13. It was a sign to them that they were to fight the nations there and to destroy them. By 'the nations' in possession of the land of Canaan at that time are meant those who before the Lord's Coming occupied the region of heaven which was subsequently given to members of the Lord's spiritual kingdom, 6914, 8054.
