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.

8557. 'And all the assembly of the children of Israel travelled on' means a further development of spiritual life. This is clear from the meaning of 'travelling on' as a further stage and continuation of life, dealt with in 4375, 4554, 4585, 5996, 8181, 8345, 8397, at this point a further stage or development of spiritual life, that is, an increase of it, which temptations are constantly bringing about. The reason why temptations bring about an increase of spiritual life is that the truths of faith are corroborated by means of them and joined to the good of charity. For the meaning of 'the assembly of the children of Israel' as those who belong to the spiritual Church, see 7830, 7843.

4553. Verses 5-7 And they travelled on; and the terror of God was on the cities which were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob. And Jacob came to Luz which is in the land of Canaan - that is, Bethel - he and all the people who were with him. And he built an altar there and called the place El Bethel, for there the gods were revealed to him, when he was fleeing from before his brother.

'They travelled on' means a continuation. 'And the terror of God was on the cities which were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob' means that falsities and evils were unable to come near. 'And Jacob came to Luz which is in the land of Canaan' means the natural as it was in the previous state. 'That is, Bethel' means the Divine Natural. 'He and all the people who were with him' means with all things there. 'And he built an altar there' means through being made holy. 'And called the place El Bethel' means a holy natural. 'For there the gods were revealed to him' means holy truths. 'When he was fleeing from before his brother' means after truths were placed above good.
