Exodo 14

Studie

   

1 At ang Panginoon ay nagsalita kay Moises, na sinasabi,

2 Salitain mo sa mga anak ni Israel, na sila'y bumalik at humantong sa tapat ng Pi-hahiroth, sa pagitan ng Migdol at ng dagat, sa tapat ng Baalzephon: sa tapat niyaon hahantong kayo, sa tabi ng dagat.

3 At sasabihin ni Faraon tungkol sa mga anak ni Israel: Nangasisilo sila sa lupain, sila'y naliligid ng ilang.

4 At aking papagmamatigasin ang puso ni Faraon, at kaniyang hahabulin sila at kayo'y magiimbot ng karangalan kay Faraon, at sa lahat niyang hukbo; at malalaman ng mga Egipcio, na ako ang Panginoon. At kanilang ginawang gayon.

5 At nasabi sa hari sa Egipto, na ang bayan ay tumakas: at ang puso ni Faraon at ng kaniyang mga lingkod ay nagbago tungkol sa bayan, at kanilang sinabi, Ano itong ating ginawa, na ating pinayaon ang Israel, upang huwag na tayong mapaglingkuran?

6 At inihanda ni Faraon ang kaniyang karro, at kaniyang ipinagsama ang kaniyang bayan:

7 At siya'y nagdala ng anim na raang piling karro, at lahat ng mga karro sa Egipto, at ng mga kapitan na namumuno sa lahat ng mga yaon.

8 At pinapagmatigas ng Panginoon ang puso ni Faraon na hari sa Egipto, at hinabol niya ang mga anak ni Israel, sapagka't ang mga anak ni Israel ay nagsialis na may lubos na pagkakatiwala.

9 At hinabol sila ng mga Egipcio, ng lahat ng mga kabayo at ng karro ni Faraon, at ng kaniyang mga taong mangangabayo, at ng kaniyang hukbo, at inabutan sila noong nakahantong sa tabi ng dagat, na nasa siping ng Pi-hahirot, sa tapat ng Baal-zefon.

10 At nang si Faraon ay nalalapit, ay itiningin ng mga anak ni Israel ang kanilang mga mata, at, narito, ang mga Egipcio ay sumusunod sa kanila; at sila'y natakot na mainam: at ang mga anak ni Israel ay humibik sa Panginoon.

11 At kanilang sinabi kay Moises, Dahil ba sa walang libingan sa Egipto, kung kaya dinala mo kami rito upang mamatay sa ilang? bakit ka gumawa ng ganito sa amin, na inilabas mo kami sa Egipto?

12 Di ba ito ang sinalita namin sa iyo sa Egipto, na sinasabi, Pabayaan mo kami na makapaglingkod sa mga Egipcio? Sapagka't lalong mabuti sa amin ang maglingkod sa mga Egipcio kay sa kami ay mamatay sa ilang.

13 At sinabi ni Moises sa bayan, Huwag kayong matakot, tumigil kayo, at tingnan ninyo ang pagliligtas ng Panginoon na gagawin sa inyo ngayon: sapagka't ang mga Egipcio na inyong nakikita ngayon, ay hindi na ninyo uli makikita magpakailan man.

14 Ipakikipaglaban kayo ng Panginoon, at kayo'y tatahimik.

15 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Bakit humihibik ka sa akin? salitain mo sa mga anak ni Israel na sila'y magpatuloy na yumaon.

16 At itaas mo ang iyong tungkod, at iunat mo ang iyong kamay sa ibabaw ng dagat, at hawiin mo; at ang mga anak ni Israel ay dadaan sa gitna ng dagat sa ibabaw ng lupang tuyo.

17 At ako, narito, aking papagmamatigasin ang puso ng mga Egipcio at susundan nila sila: at ako'y magiimbot ng karangalan kay Faraon, at sa buo niyang hukbo, sa kaniyang mga karro, at sa kaniyang mga nangangabayo.

18 At malalaman ng mga Egipcio, na ako ang Panginoon, pagka ako ay nakapagimbot ng karangalan kay Faraon, sa kaniyang mga karro, at sa kaniyang mga nangangabayo.

19 At ang anghel ng Dios na nasa unahan ng kampamento ng Israel, ay humiwalay at napasa hulihan nila; at ang haliging ulap ay humiwalay sa harap nila at lumagay sa likod nila:

20 At lumagay sa pagitan ng kampamento ng Egipto at ng kampamento ng Israel; at mayroong ulap at kadiliman, gayon ma'y binigyan sila ng liwanag sa gabi at ang isa't isa ay hindi nagkalapit sa buong magdamag.

21 At iniunat ni Moises ang kaniyang kamay sa ibabaw ng dagat; at pinaghiwalay ng Panginoon ang dagat sa pamamagitan ng isang malakas na hanging silanganan ng buong magdamag, at ang dagat ay pinapaging tuyong lupa at ang tubig ay nahawi.

22 At ang mga anak ni Israel ay pumasok sa gitna ng dagat sa ibabaw ng tuyong lupa: at ang tubig ay naging isang kuta sa kanila, sa kanilang kanan at sa kanilang kaliwa.

23 At hinabol sila ng mga Egipcio, at nagsipasok na kasunod nila sa gitna ng dagat, lahat ng mga kabayo ni Faraon, ang kaniyang mga karro, at ang kaniyang mga nangangabayo.

24 At nangyari, sa pagbabantay sa kinaumagahan, na minasdan ng Panginoon ang hukbo ng mga Egipcio sa gitna ng haliging apoy at ulap, at niligalig ang hukbo ng mga Egipcio.

25 At inalisan ng gulong ang kanilang mga karro, na kanilang hinila ng buong hirap: na ano pa't sinabi ng mga Egipcio, Tumakas tayo sa harap ng Israel: sapagka't ipinakikipaglaban sila ng Panginoon sa mga Egipcio.

26 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Iunat mo ang iyong kamay sa dagat, upang ang tubig ay tumabon sa mga Egipcio, sa kanilang mga karro, at sa kanilang mga nangangabayo.

27 At iniunat ni Moises ang kaniyang kamay sa dagat, at ang dagat ay nagsauli sa kaniyang dating lakas, nang umumaga; at ang mga Egipcio ay nagsitakas, at nilaginlin ng Panginoon ang mga Egipcio sa gitna ng dagat.

28 At ang tubig ay nagsauli, at tinakpan ang mga karro, at ang mga nangangabayo, sa makatuwid baga'y ang buong hukbo ni Faraon na pumasok na sumunod sa kanila sa dagat; walang natira kahit isa sa kanila.

29 Datapuwa't ang mga anak ni Israel ay lumakad sa tuyong lupa sa gitna ng dagat; at ang tubig sa kanila ay naging isang kuta sa kanilang kanan at sa kanilang kaliwa.

30 Gayon iniligtas ng Panginoon ang Israel ng araw na yaon sa kamay ng mga Egipcio; at nakita ng Israel ang mga Egipcio na mga patay sa tabi ng dagat.

31 At nakita ng Israel ang dakilang gawa, na ginawa ng Panginoon sa mga Egipcio, at ang bayan ay natakot sa Panginoon: at sila'y sumampalataya sa Panginoon at sa kaniyang lingkod na kay Moises.

8228. 'And Jehovah overturned the Egyptians into the middle of the sea' means that in so doing they cast themselves into the hell where the falsities arising from evil existed. This is clear from the meaning of 'overturning them into the sea' as casting them into falsities arising from evil; for these falsities are meant by the waters of that sea, 6346, 7307, 8137, 8138. For more about the bad things which in the literal sense of the Word are attributed to Jehovah or the Lord - that the origin of them lies with the people themselves who are ruled by evil, and not at all with the Lord, and that this is how one should understand the Word in its internal sense - see 2447, 6071, 6991, 6997, 7533, 7632, 7643, 7679, 7710, 7877, 7926, 8227.

Arcana Coelestia # 2715

2715. Two arcana exist here, the first being that, compared with the good of the celestial man, that of the spiritual man is obscure, the second that this obscurity is brightened by light from the Lord's Divine Human. As regards the first of these - that the good residing with the spiritual man is obscure compared with the celestial man's - this may be seen from what has been stated above in 2708 about the state of the spiritual man in comparison with that of the celestial man. From a comparison of the two states the fact of that obscurity is quite evident. With those who are celestial good itself exists implanted in the will part of their mind, and from there light enters the understanding part. But with those who are spiritual the whole of the will part is corrupted, so that they have no good at all from there, and therefore the Lord implants good in the understanding part of their mind, see 863, 875, 895, 927, 928, 1023, 1043, 1044, 2124, 2256. The will part is, in the main, the part of man's mind that possesses life, whereas the understanding part receives life from the will. Since therefore the will part in the case of the spiritual man is so corrupted as to be nothing but evil, and yet evil is flowing in from there unceasingly and constantly into the understanding part, that is, into his thought, it is clear that the good there is obscure compared with the celestial man's good.

[2] As a consequence those who are spiritual do not have love to the Lord, as those who are celestial do; nor therefore does that humility exist with them which is essential in all worship and by means of which good can flow in from the Lord; for a heart that is haughty is not at all receptive, only one that is humble. Nor do those who are spiritual have love towards the neighbour, as those who are celestial do, because self-love and love of the world are constantly flowing in from the will part of their mind, bringing obscurity into the good that goes with that love towards the neighbour. This may also become clear to one who reflects from the fact that when he helps another he does so for worldly reasons; thus though he may not consciously have it in mind he is nevertheless thinking about what he will get in return either from those he helps or in the next life from the Lord, which being so his good is still defiled with merit-seeking. It may also become clear to him from the fact that when he has done anything good and is able to speak about it to others and so set himself up above others, he is in his element. But those who are celestial love the neighbour more than they love themselves, and do not ever think about repayment or in any way set themselves up above others.

[3] The good residing with those who are spiritual is in addition made obscure by persuasive beliefs that are the product of various assumptions, which likewise have their origin in self-love and love of the world. For the nature of their persuasive beliefs even in matters of faith, see 2682, 2689 (end). This too is a product of the influx of evil from the will part of their mind.

[4] It may in addition become clear that the good residing with the spiritual man is obscure compared with the celestial man's, from the fact that he does not know what truth is, as those who are celestial do, from any perception. Instead he knows what truth is from what he has learned from parents and teachers, and also from the doctrine into which he was born. And when he adds to this anything from himself and from his own thinking, it is for the most part the senses and the illusions of the senses, also the rational and the appearances present within the rational, that predominate, and these make it barely possible for him to acknowledge any pure truth like that acknowledged by those who are celestial. But in spite of this, within things that are seemingly true the Lord implants good, even though these truths are mere illusions or else appearances of truth. But this good is made obscure by such truths, for it derives its specific nature from the truths to which it is joined. It is like the light of the sun falling upon objects. The nature of the objects receiving the light causes the light to be seen within those objects in the form of colours, which are beautiful if the nature of the recipient form and the manner of its receiving are fitting and correspondent, hideous if the nature of the recipient form and the manner of its receiving are not fitting and so not correspondent. In the same way good itself acquires a specific nature from the truth [to which it is joined].

[5] The same arcanum is also evident from the fact that the spiritual man does not know what evil is. He scarcely believes that any other evils exist than actions contrary to the Ten Commandments. Of evils present in affection and thought, which are countless, he has no knowledge nor does he reflect on them or call them evils. All delights whatever that go with evil desires and pleasures he does not regard as other than good; and the actual delights that are part of self-love he both pursues, approves of, and excuses, without knowing that such things have an effect on his spirit and that he becomes altogether such in the next life.

[6] From this it is in a similar way clear that although the whole of the Word deals with scarcely any other matter than the good which goes with love to the Lord and love towards the neighbour, the spiritual man does not know that that good is the sum and substance of faith, nor even what the essential nature of love and charity is. It is also clear that though something which is a matter of faith may be known to him - faith being considered by him to be essential in itself - he nevertheless discusses whether it is true, unless he has been confirmed by much experience of life. Those who are celestial do not discuss the same because they know and have a perception that it is true hence the Lord's statement in Matthew,

Let your words be, Yes, yes; No, no; anything beyond this is from evil. 1 Matthew 5:37.

For those who are celestial are immersed in the truth itself about which those who are spiritual dispute. Consequently because those who are celestial are immersed in the truth itself, they are able to see from it numberless facets of that truth, and so from light to see so to speak heaven in its entirety. But those who are spiritual, because they dispute whether it is true, cannot - so long as they do so - arrive at the remotest boundary of the light existing with those who are celestial, let alone behold anything from their light.
