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.

8560. 'At the mouth of Jehovah' means in the Lord's providence. This is clear from the meaning of 'the mouth of Jehovah' as God's truth in accordance with which they were led; for 'the mouth of Jehovah' here is taken to mean Divine utterance and being led in accordance with it, which is providence. God's providence is different from any other kind of leading or guidance in that it constantly has in view what is eternal and is constantly leading to salvation. It does so through various states, sometimes joyful and at other times miserable; and though these are beyond the person's comprehension they all nevertheless make a contribution towards his life into eternity. These things are meant by 'travels at the mouth of Jehovah', 'Jehovah' in the Word being the Lord, see 1343, 1736, 2004, 2005, 2018, 2025, 2156 2329, 2447, 2921, 3023, 3035, 5041, 5663, 6281, 6303, 6905.

6281. As regards the verb 'to redeem', its proper meaning is to restore to oneself and to take to oneself what was previously one's own; and it is used when slavery, death, or evil is involved. When it is slavery, people who have become slaves are meant, in the spiritual sense those enslaved to hell; when it is death, people in a state of damnation are meant; and when it is evil, as in the present context, people in hell are meant, since the evil from which the angel redeemed the speaker is hell, 6279. Because the Lord delivered mankind from those evils through having made the Human within Himself Divine, His Divine Human is the One in the Word who is called the Redeemer, as in Isaiah,

I am helping you, said Jehovah, and your Redeemer the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 41:14.

In the same prophet,

Thus said Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, His Holy One. Isaiah 49:7, 26.

In the same prophet,

Jehovah Zebaoth is His name, and your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, the God of the whole earth He will be called, Isaiah 54:5.

In these places a distinction is made between the Divine itself, called Jehovah, and the Divine Human, referred to as the Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

[2] Yet Jehovah Himself within His Divine Human is the Redeemer, as is clear from the following places: In Isaiah,

Thus said Jehovah the King of Israel, and his Redeemer Jehovah Zebaoth, I am the first and I am the last, and besides Me there is no God. Isaiah 44:6.

In the same prophet,

Thus said Jehovah your Redeemer, I am Jehovah your God, who is teaching you. Isaiah 48:17.

In the same prophet,

You are our Father, for Abraham does not know us and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O Jehovah, are our Father, our Redeemer; from of old is Your name. Isaiah 63:16.

In David,

Jehovah who has redeemed your 1 life from the pit. Psalms 103:4.

[3] From these places too it is evident that no one else but the Lord is meant in the Word by 'Jehovah', 1743, 1736, 2921, 3035, 5667, and that 'Jehovah the Redeemer' is His Divine Human. Here also is the reason why those who have been redeemed are called 'the Redeemed of Jehovah' in Isaiah,

Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your salvation comes; behold, His reward is with Him, and the recompense of His work before Him. They will call them, The Holy People, the Redeemed of Jehovah. Isaiah 62:11, 12.

It is quite plain that the Lord is the reason why they are called 'the Redeemed of Jehovah', for the words 'Behold, your salvation comes; behold, His reward is with Him' have reference to the Lord's Coming. See in addition Isaiah 43:1; 52:2-3; 63:4, 9; Hosea 13:14; Exodus 6:6; 15:13; Job 19:25, where it is evident that redemption has reference to slavery, death, and evil.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. The Latin means my but the Hebrew means your, which Swedenborg has in another place where he quotes this verse.
