Izlazak 14

Studie

   

1 I reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

2 Kaži sinovima Izrailjevim neka saviju i stanu u logor pred Pi-Airot između Migdola i mora prema Vel-Sefonu; prema njemu neka stanu u logor pokraj mora.

3 Jer će Faraon reći za sinove Izrailjeve: Zašli su u zemlju, zatvorila ih je pustinja.

4 I učiniću da otvrdne srce Faraonu, te će poći u poteru za vama, i ja ću se proslaviti na njemu i na svoj vojsci njegovoj, i Misirci će poznati da sam ja Gospod. I učiniše tako.

5 A kad bi javljeno caru misirskom da je pobegao narod, promeni se srce Faraonovo i sluga njegovih prema narodu, te rekoše: Šta učinismo, te pustismo Izrailja da nam ne služi?

6 I upreže u kola svoja, i uze narod svoj sa sobom.

7 I uze šest stotina kola izabranih i šta još beše kola misirskih, i nad svima vojvode.

8 I Gospod učini te otvrdnu srce Faraonu caru misirskom, i pođe u poteru za sinovima Izrailjevim, kad sinovi Izrailjevi otidoše pod rukom visokom.

9 I teravši ih Misirci stigoše ih, sva kola Faraonova, konjici njegovi i vojska njegova, kad behu u logoru na moru kod Pi-Airota prema Vel-Sefonu.

10 I kad se približi Faraon, podigoše sinovi Izrailjevi oči svoje a to Misirci idu za njima, i uplašiše se vrlo, i povikaše sinovi Izrailjevi ka Gospodu.

11 I rekoše Mojsiju: Zar ne beše grobova u Misiru, nego nas dovede da izginemo u pustinji? Šta učini, te nas izvede iz Misira.

12 Nismo li ti govorili u Misiru i rekli: Prođi nas se, neka služimo Misircima? Jer bi nam bolje bilo služiti Misircima nego izginuti u pustinji.

13 A Mojsije reče narodu: Ne bojte se, stanite pa gledajte kako će vas Gospod izbaviti danas; jer Misirce koje ste videli danas, nećete ih nikada više videti do veka.

14 Gospod će se biti za vas, a vi ćete ćutati.

15 A Gospod reče Mojsiju: Što vičeš k meni? Kaži sinovima Izrailjevim neka idu.

16 A ti digni štap svoj i pruži ruku svoju na more, i rascepi ga, pa neka idu sinovi Izrailjevi posred mora suvim.

17 I gle, ja ću učiniti da otvrdne srce Misircima, te će poći za njima; i proslaviću se na Faraonu i na svoj vojsci njegovoj, na kolima njegovim i na konjicima njegovim.

18 I Misirci će poznati da sam ja Gospod, kad se proslavim na Faraonu, na kolima njegovim i na konjicima njegovim.

19 I podiže se anđeo Gospodnji, koji iđaše pred vojskom izrailjskom, i otide im za leđa; i podiže se stup od oblaka ispred njih, i stade im za leđa.

20 I došav među vojsku misirsku i vojsku izrailjsku beše onim oblak mračan a ovim svetljaše po noći, te ne pristupiše jedni drugima celu noć.

21 I pruži Mojsije ruku svoju na more, a Gospod uzbi more vetrom istočnim, koji jako duvaše celu noć, i osuši more, i voda se rastupi.

22 I pođoše sinovi Izrailjevi posred mora suvim, i voda im stajaše kao zid s desne strane i s leve strane.

23 I Misirci terajući ih pođoše za njima posred mora, svi konji Faraonovi, kola i konjici njegovi.

24 A u stražu jutarnju pogleda Gospod na vojsku misirsku iz stupa od ognja i oblaka, i smete vojsku misirsku.

25 I pobaca točkove kolima njihovim, te ih jedva vucijahu. Tada rekoše Misirci: Bežimo od Izrailja, jer se Gospod bije za njih s Misircima.

26 A Gospod reče Mojsiju: Pruži ruku svoju na more, neka se vrati voda na Misirce, na kola njihova i na konjike njihove.

27 I Mojsije pruži ruku svoju na more, i dođe opet more na silu svoju pred zoru, a Misirci nagoše bežati prema moru; i Gospod baci Misirce usred mora.

28 A vrativši se voda potopi kola i konjike sa svom vojskom Faraonovom, što ih god beše pošlo za njima u more, i ne osta od njih nijedan.

29 I sinovi Izrailjevi iđahu posred mora suvim; i stajaše im voda kao zid s desne strane i s leve strane.

30 I izbavi Gospod Izrailja u onaj dan iz ruku misirskih; i vide Izrailj mrtve Misirce na bregu morskom.

31 I vide Izrailj silu veliku, koju pokaza Gospod na Misircima, i narod se poboja Gospoda, i verova Gospodu i Mojsiju sluzi Njegovom.

8146. And he harnessed his chariot. That this signifies the doctrine of falsity, which is that of faith separate in general, is evident from the signification of a “chariot,” as being doctrine (see n. 2760, 5321, 5945), here the doctrine of falsity which is of faith separate, because it is the chariot of Pharaoh, and by Pharaoh are represented the falsities which are of faith separate; for they who are in faith separate from charity and at the same time in a life of evil must needs be in falsities (n. 8094).

[2] In what now follows, the subject treated of is the gathering together of all the falsities derived from evil with those who have been in faith separate from charity and in a life of evil. In what precedes, the vastation of the truths of faith with them was described, and their final reduction to the state of being in mere falsities from evil, thus in damnation. In this chapter their being cast down into hell is now treated of, for this follows damnation. With this state of being cast down into hell, the case is this. When this is to be done, all the falsities that appertain to them are gathered together into one, which is effected by the opening of all the hells with which they have had communication, and their being poured in upon them. Thence come the condensations around them of falsities from evil which appear as waters to those who look at them from without (n. 8137, 8138), for they are exhalations from their life; and when they are encompassed about with these, they are in hell. That the falsities from evil are gathered together into one and are poured in upon them, is done in order that they may be surrounded by such things as have been of their life, and may be afterward kept in them. Their kind of evil and its derivative falsity then distinguish them and their hell from other hells.

[3] As the subject treated of is the gathering together of all the falsities from evil which appertain to them, therefore such frequent mention is made in this chapter of the chariots of Pharaoh, his horses, horsemen, army, and people, for by these are signified all things of falsity which appertain to them, as in this verse, “He harnessed his chariot, and took his people with him;” in the seventh verse, “He took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt;” in the ninth verse, “And the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army;” in verse seventeen, “I will be glorified in Pharaoh, in all his army, in his chariots, and in his horsemen;” in like manner in verse eighteen; again in verse twenty-three, “And the Egyptians pursued, and came after them, all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen;” in verse twenty-five, “Jehovah removed the wheel of their chariots;” in verse twenty-six, “That the waters may return upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen;” in verse twenty-eight, “The waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, even to all the army of Pharaoh.” These things are repeated so many times because the subject treated of is falsities from evil, in that these were gathered together and poured in upon them; for by the things mentioned above are signified all things of falsity from evil; by “Pharaoh and the Egyptians,” the men themselves who are in falsities from evil; by “chariots,” the doctrinal things of falsity; by “horses,” false memory-knowledges from a perverted understanding; by “horsemen,” the derivative reasonings; by “army,” and “people,” the falsities themselves.
