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.

8226. And the sea returned, at the turn of the morning, to the strength of its flow. That this signifies the flowing back to them of the falsities from evil by reason of the presence of the Lord, is evident from the signification of “returning,” when said of the falsities from evil which are signified by the “waters of the sea Suph,” as being a flowing back or return to them (of which just ab ove, n. 8223); from the signification of “the sea,” here of the waters of the sea, as being falsities from evil which are in hell (n. 6346, 7307, 8137); from the signification of “the turn of the morning,” as being the presence of the Lord (of which in what follows); and from the signification of “to the strength of its flow,” as being according to the general state and order in hell; for in the hells there is order equally as in the heavens, because in the hells there is consociation by means of evils, as in the heavens by means of goods, but the consociation in the hells is like that of robbers. That “at the turn of the morning” denotes the presence of the Lord, can be seen from what was shown above concerning the morning (in n. 8211), namely, that “the morning” denotes a state of thick darkness and destruction to the evil, and a state of enlightenment and salvation to the good, and this from the mere presence of the the Lord, (n. 7989, 8137, 8138, 8188), that is, from the presence of His Divine Human (n. 8159).

[2] The like to what is here said of “the Egyptians” is said of “Babel” in Jeremiah:

He is the Former of all things, chiefly of the rod of His inheritance, Jehovah Zebaoth is His name. Thou art my hammer, weapons of war; and by Thee will I scatter the nations; and by Thee will I destroy kingdoms; and by Thee will I scatter the horse and his rider; and by Thee will I scatter the chariot and him that is borne therein; and I will recompense to Babel and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion before your eyes (Jeremiah 51:19-21, 24);

by “Babel” here are signified those who have been of the church and have profaned good; and by “Chaldea,” those who have profaned truth; their intellectual part and the derivative doctrinal things and reasonings are here also signified by “horse,” “chariot,” and “him that is borne therein;” and vastation, by their “being scattered.” The Lord as to the Divine Human, by virtue of whose presence their scattering is effected, is meant by these words: “He is the Former of all things, chiefly of the rod of His inheritance, Jehovah Zebaoth is His name; Thou art my hammer and weapons of war; and by Thee will I scatter the nations; and by Thee will I destroy kingdoms;” “nations” denote evils, and “kingdoms” falsities. From all this also it is evident that the evils which they do to others flow back or return upon themselves, for it is said that “their evil shall be recompensed to them;” and also in various places in the Word it is said that in the day of visitation vengeance shall be taken, and that there shall be an avenging.
