8260. THE INTERNAL SENSE

Verses 1-2 Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to Jehovah, and said - they said, I will sing to Jehovah, for He has highly exalted [Himself]; the horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea. My strength and song is Jah, and He has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will establish a dwelling-place for Him; my father's God, and I will exalt Him.

'Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to Jehovah' means that those belonging to the spiritual Church ascribed glory to the Lord because of their deliverance. 'And said - they said' means as a result of influx. 'I will sing to Jehovah' means that glory belongs to the Lord alone. 'For He has highly exalted [Himself]' means that He has displayed His Divinity within His Humanity. '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. 'My strength' means that the source of the whole of power is the Lord Himself. 'And song is Jah' means that the source of the whole of faith and of the glory resulting from it is Divine Truth which originates in Him. 'And He has become my salvation' means that from this comes salvation. '[This is my God,] and I will establish a dwelling-place for Him' means that when He is within good, which originates in Himself, He will be as if in His heaven. 'My father's God' means that there was no other Deity in the ancient Churches. 'And I will exalt Him' means that now also will Divine worship be offered to Him.
