1 Damals sangen Mose und die Kinder Israel dieses Lied dem Jehova und sprachen also: Singen will ich Jehova, denn hoch erhaben ist er; das Roß und seinen Reiter hat er ins Meer gestürzt.

2 Meine Stärke und mein Gesang ist Jah, denn er ist mir zur Rettung geworden; dieser ist mein Gott, und ich will ihn verherrlichen, meines Vaters Gott, und ich will ihn erheben.

3 Jehova ist ein Kriegsmann, Jehova sein Name.

4 Die Wagen des Pharao und seine Heeresmacht hat er ins Meer gestürzt, und die Auserlesenen seiner Wagenkämpfer sind versunken im Schilfmeer.

5 Die Fluten bedeckten sie, sie sind hinuntergefahren in die Tiefen wie ein Stein.

6 Deine Rechte, Jehova, ist herrlich in Macht; deine Rechte, Jehova, hat zerschmettert den Feind.

7 Und in der Größe deiner Hoheit hast du niedergerissen, die sich wider dich erhoben; du ließest deine Zornglut los: sie hat sie verzehrt wie Stoppeln.

8 Und durch den Hauch deiner Nase türmten sich die Wasser, es standen die Strömungen wie ein Damm, es gerannen die Fluten im Herzen des Meeres.

9 Der Feind sprach: Ich will nachjagen, einholen, Beute teilen; meine Gier soll sich sättigen an ihnen; ich will mein Schwert ziehen, meine Hand soll sie vertilgen.

10 Du hauchtest mit deinem Odem, das Meer bedeckte sie; sie sanken unter wie Blei in die gewaltigen Wasser.

11 Wer ist dir gleich unter den Göttern, Jehova! Wer ist dir gleich, herrlich in Heiligkeit, furchtbar an Ruhm, Wunder tuend!

12 Du strecktest deine Rechte aus, die Erde verschlang sie.

13 Du hast durch deine Güte geleitet das Volk, das du erlöst, hast es durch deine Stärke geführt zu deiner heiligen Wohnung.

14 Es hörten's die Völker, sie bebten; Angst ergriff die Bewohner Philistäas.

15 Da wurden bestürzt die Fürsten Edoms; die Starken Moabs, sie ergriff Beben; es verzagten alle Bewohner Kanaans.

16 Es überfiel sie Schrecken und Furcht; ob der Größe deines Armes verstummten sie gleich einem Stein, bis hindurchzog dein Volk, Jehova, bis hindurchzog das Volk, das du erworben hast.

17 Du wirst sie bringen und pflanzen auf den Berg deines Erbteils, die Stätte, die du, Jehova, zu deiner Wohnung gemacht, das Heiligtum, Herr, das deine Hände bereitet haben.

18 Jehova wird König sein immer und ewiglich! -

19 Denn die Rosse des Pharao mit seinen Wagen und mit seinen Reitern sind ins Meer gekommen, und Jehova hat die Wasser des Meeres über sie zurückgeführt; und die Kinder Israel gingen auf dem Trockenen mitten durchs Meer.

20 Und Mirjam, die Prophetin, Aarons Schwester, nahm das Tamburin in ihre Hand; und alle Weiber zogen aus, hinter ihr her, mit Tamburinen und in Reigen.

21 Und Mirjam antwortete ihnen: Singet Jehova, denn hoch erhaben ist er; das Roß und seinen Reiter hat er ins Meer gestürzt! -

22 Und Mose ließ Israel vom Schilfmeer aufbrechen, und sie zogen aus in die Wüste Sur; und sie wanderten drei Tage in der Wüste und fanden kein Wasser.

23 Und sie kamen nach Mara; aber sie konnten das Wasser von Mara nicht trinken, denn es war bitter: darum gab man ihm den Namen Mara.

24 Und das Volk murrte wider Mose und sprach: Was sollen wir trinken?

25 Und er schrie zu Jehova, und Jehova wies ihm ein Holz; und er warf es in das Wasser, und das Wasser wurde süß. Dort stellte er ihm Satzung und Recht, und dort versuchte er es;

26 und er sprach: Wenn du fleißig auf die Stimme Jehovas, deines Gottes, hören wirst, und tun, was recht ist in seinen Augen, und horchen wirst auf seine Gebote und beobachten alle seine Satzungen, so werde ich keine der Krankheiten auf dich legen, die ich auf Ägypten gelegt habe; denn ich bin Jehova, der dich heilt.

27 Und sie kamen nach Elim, und daselbst waren zwölf Wasserquellen und siebzig Palmbäume; und sie lagerten sich daselbst an den Wassern.

8274. 'Jehovah is His name' means that He alone is the Source of all things. This is clear from the meaning of Jehovah's 'name' as all aspects of faith and love or all aspects of truth and good in their entirety through which the Lord is worshipped, dealt with in 2724, 3006, 6674, and in the highest sense as the Lord's Divine Human, 2628, 6887, the Source of all those aspects. From this and also from the consideration that Jehovah is Being (Esse) itself, and so is the being within all things, it is evident that Jehovah is His name' means that the Lord alone is the Source of all things.

6674. 'Of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah' means the nature and state of the natural where that factual knowledge resided. This is clear from the meaning of 'the name' as the essential nature, dealt with in 144, 145, 1896, 2009, and also the state, 1946, 2643, 3422, 4298. For the names contained in the Word all serve to mean different realities, each name embodying in a nutshell all the characteristics, thus the nature and state of that reality to which it refers. Here therefore the names Shiphrah and Puah mean the nature and state of the natural where true factual knowledge resides since this is the reality to which those names refer, as is evident from what appears immediately before this in 6673. A person who is unaware of the fact that a name serves to mean the nature and state of the reality to which it refers can only think that no more than the name is meant when that name is mentioned.

[2] Thus he can only think that when the Lord speaks of His name no more than this is meant, when in fact what is meant is the essential nature of the worship of Him, that is to say, every aspect of faith and charity through which He is to be worshipped, as in Matthew,

Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them. Matthew 18:20.

Not the name is meant here, but worship flowing from faith and charity. In John,

As many as received Him, to them He gave power to be sons of God, to those believing in His name. John 1:12.

Here also 'name' is used to mean faith and charity from which the Lord is worshipped. In the same gospel,

These things have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. John 20:31.

Here the meaning is similar.

[3] In the same gospel,

If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. John 14:13-14.

And elsewhere,

Whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give it to you. John 15:16-17; 16:23-24.

The real meaning here is not that they were to ask the Father in the Lord's name, but that they were to ask the Lord Himself. For no access lies open to Divine Good, which is the Father, 3704, except through the Lord's Divine Human, as the various Churches also well know. This being so, asking the Lord Himself is a request made in accordance with the truths of faith; and if the request is indeed made in accord with them it is granted, as He Himself also says in the place in John quoted immediately before - If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. This matter is made even clearer by the fact that the Lord is meant by Jehovah's 'name', when mentioned as follows in Moses,

I send an angel before you to guard you on the way. Take notice of His face, and hearken to His voice, and do not provoke Him, since My name is in the midst of Him. Exodus 23:20-21.

[4] In John,

Father, glorify Your name. A voice came from heaven, I have both glorified it and will glorify it again. John 12:28.

In the same gospel,

I have manifested Your name to the men (homo) whom You gave to Me out of the world. I made known to them Your name, and I will make it known, that the love with which You have loved Me may be in them, and I in them. John 17:6, 26.

From these quotations it is evident that the Lord's Divine Human is Jehovah's name or whole essential nature. Consequently all Divine worship begins in the Divine Human; and the Divine Human is what one is to worship, for by worshipping this one worships the Divine Himself, no thought of whom can otherwise be formed. And if no such thought can be formed, there can be no communion with Him either.

[5] The truth that the Lord's 'name' is everything constituting the faith and love through which He is to be worshipped is still further evident from the following places: In Matthew,

You will be hated by everyone for My name's sake. Matthew 10:22.

In the same gospel,

He who receives one little child like this in My name receives Me. Matthew 18:5.

In the same gospel,

Everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields, for My name's sake, will receive a hundredfold. Matthew 19:29.

In the same gospel,

They shouted, Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. Matthew 21:9.

In Luke,

Truly I tell you; for you will not see Me until [the time] comes so that you say, Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Luke 13:35.

In Mark,

Whoever gives you drink from a cup of water in My name because you are Christ's, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward. Mark 9:41.

In Luke,

The seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are obedient to us in Your name. Jesus said to them, Do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are obedient to you, but rejoice rather that your names have been written in heaven. Luke 10:17, 20.

'Names written in heaven' are not those people's their faith and charity.

[6] Much the same is meant by 'names written in the Apocalypse,

You have a few names also in Sardis, who have not soiled their garments. He who conquers will be clad in white garments and I will not blot his name out of the book of life; and I will confess his name before the Father and before His angels. Revelation 3:4-5.

Like wise in John,

The one entering by the door is the shepherd of the sheep; he calls his own sheep by name. John 10:2-3.

In Exodus,

Jehovah said to Moses, I know you by name. Exodus 33:12, 17.

In John,

Many believed in His name, seeing His signs which He did. John 2:13.

[7] In the same gospel,

He who believes in Him is not judged: but he who does not believe is judged already because he has not be lifted in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:18.

In Isaiah,

They will fear the name of Jehovah from the west. Isaiah 59:19.

In Micah,

All the peoples walk in the name of their God and we will walk in the name of our God. Micah 4:5.

In Moses it says they were to worship Jehovah God in the place which He would choose and in which He would put His name. Deuteronomy 12:5, 11, 14. Similar phrases occur in Isaiah 18:7 and Jeremiah 7:12, and in many other places besides these, such as Isaiah 26:8, 13; 41:25; 43:7; 49:1; 50:10; 52:5; 26:16; Ezekiel 20:14, 44; 36:21-23; Micah 5:4; Malachi 1:11; Deuteronomy 10:8; Revelation 2:17; 3:12; 13:8; 14:11; 15:2; 17:8; 19:12-13, 16; 22:3-4.

[8] The fact that Jehovah's name means everything involved in the worship of Him, thus in the highest sense everything that goes out from the Lord, is clear in the Blessing,

Jehovah bless you and keep you;

Jehovah make His face shine upon you and be merciful to you;

Jehovah lift up His face upon you and give you peace.

So shall they put My name upon the sons of Israel. Numbers 6:23-27.

From all this one may now see what is meant by the following commandment in the Decalogue,

You shall not take the name of your God in vain, for Jehovah will not hold him innocent who has taken His name in vain. Exodus 20:7.

One may likewise see what is meant in the Lord's Prayer by hallowed be Your name, Matthew 6:9.
