1 以色列全會眾都遵耶和華的吩咐,按著站從汛的曠野往前行,在利非訂安營。百姓沒有

2 所以與摩西爭鬧,我們罷!摩西對他們:你們為甚麼與我爭鬧?為甚麼試探耶和華呢?

3 百姓在那裡甚,要喝,就向摩西發怨言,:你為甚麼將我們埃及領出來,使我們我們的兒女並牲畜都呢?

4 摩西就呼求耶和華:我向這百姓怎樣行呢?他們幾乎要拿石頭打死我。

5 耶和華摩西:你裡拿著你先前擊打河水的杖,帶領以色列的幾個長老,從百姓面前走過去。

6 我必在何烈的磐石那裡,站在你面前。你要擊打磐石,從磐石裡必有流出來,使百姓可以摩西就在以色列的長老眼前這樣行了。

7 他給那地方起名瑪撒(就是試探的意思),又米利巴(就是爭鬧的意思);因以色列人爭鬧,又因他們試探耶和華,說:耶和華是在我們中間不是?

8 那時,亞瑪力人在利非訂,和以色列人爭戰。

9 摩西對約書亞:你為我們選出人來,出去和亞瑪力人爭戰。明天我裡要拿著的杖,站在山頂上。

10 於是約書亞照著摩西對他所的話行,和亞瑪力人爭戰。摩西亞倫,與戶珥都上了山頂。

11 摩西何時舉以色列人就得勝,何時垂,亞瑪力人就得勝。

12 摩西的發沉,他們就搬石頭,放在他以,他就在上面。亞倫與戶珥扶著他的個在這邊,個在那邊,他的就穩住,直到日落的時候。

13 約書亞用刀殺了亞瑪力王和他的百姓。

14 耶和華摩西:我要將亞瑪力的名號從全然塗抹了;你要將這話上作紀念,又念給約亞聽。

15 摩西築了一座,起名耶和華尼西(就是耶和華是我旌旗的意思),

16 耶和華已經起了誓,必世世代和亞瑪力人爭戰。

8672. 'And Jethro rejoiced over all the good which Jehovah had done for Israel' means the state of Divine Good when all things go well. This is clear from the representation of 'Jethro' as Divine Good, dealt with above in 8643; and from the meaning of 'rejoiced over all the good' - when used in reference to Divine Good, represented by 'Jethro' - as the state of that Good. The state of Divine Good when good is done to heaven and the angels there, also to the Church and the people there, is expressed in the Word as 'joy'. The nature of the joy however surpasses all understanding, because it is that of the Infinite. Infinite joy also exists when good is received by those in heaven and in the Church, as may be recognized from Divine Love, which is infinite towards the human race, 8644; for all joy is a characteristic of love. From all this it is evident that 'Jethro rejoiced over all the good which Jehovah had done for Israel' means the state of Divine Good when all things go well. 'Israel' is used to mean those belonging to the Lord's spiritual kingdom and spiritual Church, 8669, with whom all things went well; for they were delivered from molestations, and were after that victorious in temptations, as has been described above.

7171. It should be recognized that the sun in this world is not at all visible to any spirit, nor is any light from it visible; for the light of the sun is to spirits like thick darkness. It remains only in spirits' minds, as a result of their having seen it when they were in the world; and the picture of it which presents itself in their minds is a kind of dark patch, a considerable distance away behind them, at a height slightly above head-level. The planets within the solar system appear in fixed positions in relation to the sun - Mercury behind it, slightly to the right; the planet Venus on the left, slightly to the rear; the planet Mars on the left, out in front; the planet Jupiter similarly out in front on the left, but further away; the planet Saturn directly in front, but a considerable distance away; the Moon on the left, quite high up; and other satellites too are on the left of their own planets. This is the way that the planets are aligned in spirits and angels' ideas about them. Also spirits are seen close to their own planet; but they remain outside it.
