Izlazak 17

Studie

   

1 I podiže se iz pustinje Sina sav zbor sinova Izrailjevih putem svojim po zapovesti Gospodnjoj, i stadoše u logor u Rafidinu; a onde ne beše vode da narod pije.

2 I narod se svađaše s Mojsijem govoreći: Daj nam vode da pijemo. A on im reče: Što se svađate sa mnom? Što kušate Gospoda?

3 Ali narod beše onde žedan vode, te vikaše narod na Mojsija, i govoraše: Zašto si nas izveo iz Misira da nas i sinove naše i stoku našu pomoriš žeđu?

4 A Mojsije zavapi ka Gospodu govoreći: Šta ću činiti s ovim narodom? Još malo pa će me zasuti kamenjem.

5 A Gospod reče Mojsiju: Prođi pred narod, i uzmi sa sobom starešine izrailjske, i štap svoj kojim si udario vodu uzmi u ruku svoju, i idi.

6 A ja ću stajati pred tobom onde na steni na Horivu; a ti udari u stenu, i poteći će iz nje voda da pije narod. I učini Mojsije tako pred starešinama izrailjskim.

7 A mesto ono prozva Masa i Meriva zato što se svađaše sinovi Izrailjevi i što kušaše Gospoda govoreći: Je li Gospod među nama ili nije?

8 Ali dođe Amalik da se bije s Izrailjem u Rafidinu.

9 A Mojsije reče Isusu: Izberi nam ljude, te izađi i bij se s Amalikom; a ja ću sutra stati na vrh brda sa štapom Božjim u ruci.

10 I učini Isus kako mu reče Mojsije, i pobi se s Amalikom; a Mojsije i Aron i Or izađoše na vrh brda.

11 I dokle Mojsije držaše u vis ruke svoje, pobeđivahu Izrailjci, a kako bi spustio ruke, odmah nadvlađivahu Amaličani.

12 Ali ruke Mojsiju otežaše, zato uzeše kamen i podmetnuše poda nj, te sede; a Aron i Or držahu mu ruke jedan s jedne strane a drugi s druge, i ne klonuše mu ruke do zahoda sunčanog.

13 I razbi Isus Amalika i narod njegov oštrim mačem.

14 Potom reče Gospod Mojsiju: Zapiši to za spomen u knjigu, i kaži Isusu neka pamti da ću sasvim istrebiti spomen Amalikov ispod neba.

15 Tada načini Mojsije oltar, i nazva ga: Gospod, zastava moja.

16 I reče: Što se ruka beše podigla na presto Gospodnji, Gospod će ratovati na Amalika od kolena do kolena.

8556. THE INTERNAL SENSE

Verses 1-3 And all the assembly of the children of Israel travelled on from the wilderness of Sin, according to their travels, at the mouth of Jehovah, and encamped in Rephidim; and there was no water for the people to drink. And the people wrangled with Moses, and said, Give us water and let us drink. And Moses said to them, Why do you wrangle with me? Why do you tempt Jehovah? And the people thirsted there for water, and the people grumbled against Moses, and said, Why have you caused us to come up out of Egypt, to cause me, and my children, and my livestock to die of thirst? 1

'And all the assembly of the children of Israel travelled on' means a further development of spiritual life. 'From the wilderness of Sin' means away from a state of temptation having to do with good. 'According to their travels' means according to the order of life for receiving the life of heaven. 'At the mouth of Jehovah' means in the Lord's providence. 'And encamped in Rephidim' means arranging interior things for undergoing a temptation having to do with truth, the essential nature of that temptation being meant by 'Rephidim'. 'And there was no water for the people to drink' means a lack of truth and consequently of refreshment.

'And the people wrangled with Moses' means bitter complaining against God's truth. 'And said, Give us water and let us drink' means a burning desire for truth. 'And Moses said to them' means the reply, made through influx into thought. 'Why do you wrangle with me?' means that they should be more restrained in their complaining. 'Why do you tempt Jehovah?' means that their complaining is against the Divine, from whom they despair of receiving aid. 'And the people thirsted there for water' means an increase in the desire for truth. 'And the people grumbled against Moses' means a greater degree of grief. 'Why have you caused us to come up out of Egypt' means Why have we been delivered from molestations ... 'To cause me, and my children, and my livestock to die of thirst?' means, in order for everything constituting spiritual life to perish, owing to the lack of truth?

4554. 'They travelled on' means a continuation. This is clear from the meaning of 'travelling on' as a further stage, dealt with in 4375, and so a continuation, that is to say, a continuation of the progress towards aspects more interior.
