Exodo 17

Studie

   

1 At ang buong kapisanan ng mga anak ni Israel ay naglakbay mula sa ilang ng Sin, sa kanilang paglalakbay ayon sa utos ng Panginoon, at humantong sa Rephidim: at walang tubig na mainom ang bayan.

2 Kaya't ang bayan ay nakipagtalo kay Moises, at nagsabi, Bigyan mo kami ng tubig na aming mainom. At sinabi ni Moises sa kanila, Bakit kayo nakikipagtalo sa akin? bakit ninyo tinutukso ang Panginoon?

3 At ang bayan ay nauhaw at inupasala ng bayan si Moises, at sinabi, Bakit mo kami isinampa rito mula sa Egipto, upang patayin mo kami sa uhaw, at ang aming mga anak, at ang aming kawan?

4 At si Moises ay dumaing sa Panginoon, na nagsasabi, Anong aking gagawin sa bayang ito? kulang na lamang batuhin nila ako.

5 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Dumaan ka sa harap ng bayan, at ipagsama mo ang mga matanda sa Israel; at ang iyong tungkod na iyong ipinalo sa ilog, ay tangnan mo sa iyong kamay, at yumaon ka.

6 Narito, ako'y tatayo sa harap mo roon sa ibabaw ng bato sa Horeb; at iyong papaluin ang bato, at lalabasan ng tubig, upang ang bayan ay makainom. At gayon ginawa ni Moises sa paningin ng mga matanda sa Israel.

7 At tinawag nila ang pangalan ng dakong yaon, na Massah at Meribah, dahil sa pakikipagtalo ng mga anak ni Israel, at dahil sa kanilang tinukso ang Panginoon, na kanilang sinasabi, Ang Panginoon ba'y nasa gitna natin o wala?

8 Nang magkagayo'y dumating si Amalec, at nakipaglaban sa Israel sa Rephidim.

9 At sinabi ni Moises kay Josue, Ipili mo tayo ng mga lalake, at ikaw ay lumabas, lumaban ka kay Amalec; bukas ay tatayo ako sa taluktok ng burol, na aking tangan ang tungkod ng Dios sa aking kamay.

10 Gayon ginawa ni Josue, gaya ng sinabi ni Moises sa kaniya, at lumaban kay Amalec: at si Moises, si Aaron at si Hur ay sumampa sa taluktok ng burol.

11 At nangyari, pagka itinataas ni Moises ang kaniyang kamay, ay nananaig ang Israel: at pagka kaniyang ibinababa ang kaniyang kamay, ay nananaig si Amalec.

12 Datapuwa't ang mga kamay ni Moises ay nangalay; at sila'y kumuha ng isang bato, at inilagay sa ibaba, at kaniyang inupuan; at inalalayan ni Aaron at ni Hur ang kaniyang mga kamay, ang isa'y sa isang dako, at ang isa'y sa kabilang dako; at ang kaniyang mga kamay ay nalagi sa itaas hanggang sa paglubog ng araw.

13 At nilito ni Josue si Amalec, at ang kaniyang bayan, sa pamamagitan ng talim ng tabak.

14 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Isulat mo ito na pinakaalaala sa isang aklat, at ipagbigay alam mo kay Josue na aking ipalilimot ang pagalaala kay Amalec sa silong ng langit.

15 At nagtayo si Moises ng isang dambana, at pinanganlang Jehovanissi.

16 At kaniyang sinabi, Isinumpa ng Panginoon: ang Panginoon ay makikipagdigma kay Amalec sa buong panahon ng lahi nito.

4931. CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE GRAND MAN - continued

IN THIS SECTION THE CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HANDS, THE ARMS, THE FEET, AND THE LOINS WITH IT

It has been shown already that the whole of heaven bears resemblance to a human being, together with each of his organs, members, and viscera. It has been shown too that this is so because heaven bears resemblance to the Lord; for the Lord is the All in all of heaven, so much its All that, properly speaking, heaven is essentially Divine Good and Divine Truth received from the Lord. For this reason heaven is distinguished into many so to speak separate provinces, as many as there are in a person's viscera, organs, and members, with which also there is a correspondence. Unless such a correspondence existed of the human being with heaven, and through heaven with the Lord, he could not remain in existence for even a single moment, all things being held in connection with one another by means of influx.

[2] But all those provinces are linked to two kingdoms - the celestial kingdom and the spiritual kingdom. The first of these - the celestial kingdom - is the kingdom of the heart within the Grand Man; the second - the spiritual kingdom - is the kingdom of the lungs there. And in the same way as in the human being, the heart reigns, and so do the lungs, in every single part of the Grand Man. These two kingdoms combine in a marvellous way. Their combination likewise is represented in the combination of the heart and lungs in the human being, and in the combined workings of the two within each member and interior organ.

[3] While a person is an embryo, that is, while still in the womb, he is in the kingdom of the heart. But once he has struggled out of the womb he enters the kingdom of the lungs. Then, if he allows the truths of faith to lead him into the good of love, he returns from the kingdom of the lungs within the Grand Man to the kingdom of the heart. For thereby he enters the womb a second time and is born again. Once again those two kingdoms become combined in him, but the order has been turned around. Previously the kingdom of the heart in him was under the control of the lungs, but now the kingdom of the lungs comes under the control of the heart. That is, first of all the truth of faith has dominion in him, but afterwards the good of charity does so. For the correspondence of the heart with the good of love and that of the lungs with the truth of faith, see 3635, 3883-3896.
