Éxodo 15

Studie

   

1 Entonces cantó Moisés y los hijos de Israel este cántico al SEÑOR, y dijeron: Cantaré yo al SEÑOR, porque se ha magnificado grandemente, echando en el mar al caballo y al que en él subía.

2 El SEÑOR es mi fortaleza, y mi canción, el me es por salud; este es mi Dios, y a éste adornaré; Dios de mi padre, y a éste ensalzaré.

3 El SEÑOR, varón de guerra; el SEÑOR es su Nombre.

4 Los carros del Faraón y a su ejército echó en el mar; y sus escogidos príncipes fueron hundidos en el mar Bermejo.

5 Los abismos los cubrieron; como una piedra descendieron a lo profundo.

6 Tu diestra, oh SEÑOR, ha sido magnificada en fortaleza; tu diestra, oh SEÑOR, ha quebrantado al enemigo.

7 Y con la multitud de tu grandeza has trastornado a los que se levantaron contra ti; enviaste tu furor; los tragó como a hojarasca.

8 Con el soplo de tus narices se amontonaron las aguas; se pararon las corrientes como en un montón; los abismos se cuajaron en medio del mar.

9 El enemigo dijo: Perseguiré, prenderé, repartiré despojos; mi alma se saciará de ellos; sacaré mi espada, los destruirá mi mano.

10 Soplaste con tu viento, los cubrió el mar. Se hundieron como plomo en las impetuosas aguas.

11 ¿Quién como tú, oh SEÑOR, entre los dioses? ¿Quién como tú, magnífico en santidad, terrible en loores, hacedor de maravillas?

12 Extendiendo tu diestra, la tierra los tragó.

13 Condujiste con tu misericordia a este pueblo, al cual salvaste; lo llevaste con tu fortaleza a la habitación de tu santuario.

14 Lo oirán los pueblos, y temblarán; se apoderará dolor de los moradores de Palestina.

15 Entonces los príncipes de Edom se turbarán; a los robustos de Moab los ocupará temblor; se abatirán todos los moradores de Canaán.

16 Caiga sobre ellos temblor y espanto; a la grandeza de tu brazo enmudezcan como una piedra; hasta que haya pasado tu pueblo, oh SEÑOR, hasta que haya pasado este pueblo que tú rescataste.

17 los introducirás y los plantarás en el monte de tu heredad, en el lugar de tu morada, que tú has aparejado, oh SEÑOR; en el santuario del Señor, que han afirmado tus manos.

18 El SEÑOR reinará por los siglos de los siglos.

19 Porque el Faraón entró cabalgando con sus carros y su gente de a caballo en el mar, y el SEÑOR volvió a traer las aguas del mar sobre ellos; mas los hijos de Israel fueron en seco por medio del mar.

20 Y María la profetisa, hermana de Aarón, tomó el pandero en su mano, y todas las mujeres salieron en pos de ella con panderos y danzas.

21 Y María les respondía: Cantad al SEÑOR; porque en extremo se ha magnificado grandemente, echando en el mar al caballo, y al que en él subía.

22 E hizo Moisés que partiese Israel del mar Bermejo, y salieron al desierto de Shur; y anduvieron tres días por el desierto sin hallar agua.

23 Y llegaron a Mara, y no pudieron beber las aguas de Mara, porque eran amargas; por eso le pusieron el nombre de Mara.

24 Entonces el pueblo murmuró contra Moisés, y dijo: ¿Qué hemos de beber?

25 Y Moisés clamó al SEÑOR; y el SEÑOR le mostró un árbol, el cual cuando lo metió dentro de las aguas, las aguas se endulzaron. Allí les dio estatutos y derechos, y allí los probó;

26 y dijo: Si oyeres atentamente la voz del SEÑOR tu Dios, e hicieres lo recto delante de sus ojos, y dieres oído a sus mandamientos, y guardares todos sus estatutos, ninguna enfermedad, de las que envié a los egipcios, te enviaré a ti; porque yo soy el SEÑOR tu Sanador.

27 Y llegaron a Elim, donde había doce fuentes de aguas, y setenta palmas; y se asentaron allí junto a las aguas.

Moab

  

In Numbers 22:4, 7 and Jeremiah 48:38, Moab signifies people in natural good who easily permit themselves to be led astray. (Arcana Coelestia 3242[3], 10184[2]) In an opposite sense, it signifies people who adulterate what is good. 'Moab and Ammon' signify people with whom good is adulterated and truth falsified.

2336. That 'the street' means truth becomes clear from many places in the Word, as in John where the New Jerusalem is referred to,

The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate was one pearl; and the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. Revelation 21:21.

[2] 'The New Jerusalem' is the Lord's kingdom which because it is being described as regards good and truth is described by walls, gates, and streets. By the last of these -'the streets' - are meant all avenues of truth which lead to good, that is, all those of faith which lead to love and charity. And because truths in this way become part of good, and so are made transparent from good, it is said that 'the street was pure gold, like transparent glass'. In the same book,

Out of the middle of the street of it, and of the river, on this side and on that, was the tree of life bearing twelve fruits. Revelation 22:2.

This also refers to the New Jerusalem or the Lord's kingdom. 'The middle of the street' is the truth of faith, by means of which good comes and which after that stems from good. 'The twelve fruits' are those called the fruits of faith, for 'twelve' means all things of faith, as shown in 577, 2089, 2129, 2130.

[3] In Daniel,

Know and perceive that from the going forth of the Word to restore and to build Jerusalem until the Messiah, the Leader, there will be seven weeks - and sixty-two weeks; and it will be restored and built with street and moat. Daniel 9:25.

This refers to the Coming of the Lord, 'it will be restored with street and moat' meaning that there will be truth and good at that time. The fact that Jerusalem was not restored and built at that time is well known; and that it is not to be restored and built anew anyone may also know provided he does not fix his ideas on a worldly kingdom but on a heavenly kingdom meant in the internal sense by Jerusalem.

[4] In Luke,

The householder said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city and bring in here the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind. Luke 14:21.

People who confine themselves to the sense of the letter gain nothing more from this verse than the idea that the servant was to go everywhere, and that this is what is meant by 'streets and lanes', and that he was to fetch in everybody, and that this is what is meant by 'the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind'. But each and all of these words, being the Lord's, embody arcana within them. The command that he should go out into the streets and lanes means that he was to search everywhere for some genuine truth, that is, for truth which shines out of good, or through which good shines. The command that he should bring in the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind, means that such people were to be brought in as had in the Ancient Church been called the poor, maimed, lame, or blind - that is, he was to bring in those who were such as regards faith but who had led good lives, and who for this reason ought to be taught about the Lord's kingdom - thus to bring in gentiles who were as yet uninformed.

[5] Because 'streets' meant truths it was a representative custom among the Jews to teach in the streets, as is evident from Matthew 6:2, 5, and Luke 13:26-27. Wherever 'streets' are mentioned in the Prophets they mean in the internal sense either truths or things contrary to truths, as in Isaiah,

Judgement is cast away backwards, and justice stands afar off, for truth has stumbled in the street, and uprightness cannot come in. Isaiah 59:14.

In the same prophet,

Your sons fainted and lay at the head of every street. Isaiah 51:20.

In Jeremiah,

Death has come up into our windows, it has entered our palaces, cutting off the small child from the street and the young men from the lanes. Jeremiah 9:21.

[6] In Ezekiel,

By means of the hoofs of his horses Nebuchadnezzar will trample all your streets. Ezekiel 26:11.

This refers to Tyre, which means cognitions of truth, 1201. 'The hoofs of the horses' are facts which pervert the truth. In Nahum,

In the streets the chariots rage; they rush about in the lanes. Nahum 2:4.

'Chariots' stands for the doctrine of truth, which is said 'to rage in the streets' when falsity has replaced truth. In Zechariah,

Old men and old women will again dwell in the streets of Jerusalem. And the streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing in the streets. Zechariah 8:4-5.

This refers to affections for truth, and consequent forms of joy and gladness. There are other places besides these, such as Isaiah 24:11; Jeremiah 5:1; 7:34; 49:26; Lamentations 2:11, 19; 4:8, 14; Zephaniah 3:6.
