1 Akkor éneklé Mózes és az Izráel fiai ezt az éneket az Úrnak, és szólának mondván: Éneklek az Úrnak, mert fenséges õ, lovat lovasával tengerbe vetett.

2 Erõsségem az Úr és énekem, szabadítómmá lõn nekem; ez az én Istenem, õt dicsérem, atyámnak Istene, õt magasztalom.

3 Vitéz harczos az Úr; az õ neve Jehova.

4 A Faraónak szekereit és seregét tengerbe vetette, s válogatott harczosai belefúltak a veres tengerbe.

5 Elborították õket a hullámok, kõ módjára merültek a mélységbe.

6 Jobbod, Uram, erõ által dicsõül, jobbod, Uram, ellenséget összetör.

7 Fenséged nagyságával zúzod össze támadóid, kibocsátod haragod s megemészti az õket mint tarlót.

8 Orrod lehelletétõl feltorlódtak a vizek. És a futó habok fal módjára megálltak; a mélységes vizek megmerevültek a tenger szívében.

9 Az ellenség monda: Ûzöm, utólérem õket, zsákmányt osztok, bosszúm töltöm rajtok. Kardomat kirántom, s kiirtja õket karom.

10 Leheltél lehelleteddel s tenger borítá be õket: elmerültek, mint az ólom a nagy vizekben.

11 Kicsoda az istenek közt olyan, mint te Uram? Kicsoda olyan, mint te, szentséggel dicsõ, félelemmel dícsérendõ és csudatévõ?

12 Kinyújtottad jobbkezedet, és elnyelé õket a föld.

13 Kegyelmeddel vezérled te megváltott népedet, hatalmaddal viszed be te szent lakóhelyedre.

14 Meghallják ezt a népek és megrendülnek; Filisztea lakóit reszketés fogja el.

15 Akkor megháborodának Edom fejedelmei, Moáb hatalmasait rettegés szállja meg, elcsügged a Kanaán egész lakossága.

16 Félelem és aggodalom lepi meg õket; karod hatalmától elnémulnak mint a kõ, míg átvonul néped, Uram! Míg átvonul a nép, a te szerzeményed.

17 Beviszed s megtelepíted õket örökséged hegyén, melyet Uram, lakhelyûl magadnak készítél, szentségedbe Uram, melyet kezed építe.

18 Az Úr uralkodik mind örökkön örökké.

19 Mert bémenének a Faraó lovai, szekereivel és lovasaival együtt a tengerbe, és az Úr visszafordítá reájok a tenger vizét; Izráel fiai pedig szárazon jártak a tenger közepén.

20 Akkor Miriám prófétaasszony, Áronnak nénje dobot võn kezébe, és kimenének utánna mind az asszonyok dobokkal és tánczolva.

21 És felele nékik Miriám: Énekeljetek az Úrnak, mert fenséges õ, lovat lovasával tengerbe vetett.

22 Ennekutánna elindítá Mózes az Izráelt a veres tengertõl, és menének Súr puszta felé; három napig menének a pusztában és nem találának vizet.

23 És eljutának Márába, de nem ihatják vala a vizet Márában, mivelhogy keserû vala. Azért is nevezék nevét Márának.

24 És zúgolódik vala a nép Mózes ellen, mondván: Mit igyunk?

25 Ez pedig az Úrhoz kiálta, és mutata néki az Úr egy fát és beveté azt a vízbe, és a víz megédesedék. Ott ada néki rendtartást és törvényt és ott megkísérté.

26 És monda: Ha a te Uradnak Istenednek szavára hûségesen hallgatsz és azt cselekeszed, a mi kedves az õ szemei elõtt és figyelmezel az õ parancsolataira és megtartod minden rendelését: egyet sem bocsátok reád ama betegségek közül, a melyeket Égyiptomra bocsátottam, mert én vagyok az Úr, a te gyógyítód.

27 És jutának Élimbe, és ott tizenkét forrás vala és hetven pálmafa; és tábort ütének ott a vizek mellett.

10262. 'A hin' means how far things are joined together. This is clear from the meaning of 'a hin' - which was a liquid measure, at this point a measure of oil - as the extent to which things are joined together. 'Oil' means the Lord's celestial Divine Good, which is the essential power that binds all things together in heaven; consequently the measure of the oil means how far things are joined together, and the fullness of their being joined together. The reason why the Lord's celestial Divine Good is the essential power that binds all things together is that it is the essential being (ipsum esse) of the life that all things have. For that Divine Good imparts life to all things through the Divine Truth emanating from itself; and it imparts life in accordance with the specific character of whatever receives it. Angels are recipients; so too are people in the world. The truths and forms of good they have form their specific character, and this conditions the reception that takes place within them, and so conditions any joining together.

[2] Two measures which were used for sacred purposes are mentioned in the Word; one was for liquids, which was called the hin, the other was for dry substances, which was called the ephah. The hin served to measure oil and wine, and the ephah to measure flour and fine flour. The hin, used for oil and wine, was divided into four, whereas the ephah was divided into ten. The reason why the hin was divided into four was in order that it might mean that which binds things together; for 'four' means a joining together. But the reason why the ephah was divided into ten was in order that it might mean reception, the nature of which was indicated by the numbers; for 'ten' means much, all, and what is complete.

'Four' means a joining together, see 8877, 9601, 9674, 10136, 10137.

'Ten' means much, all, and what is complete, as 'a hundred' does, 1988, 3107, 4400, 4638, 8468, 8540, 9745, 10253.

[3] The fact that the hin was used for the oil and wine in the sacrifices, and was divided into four, whereas the ephah was used for the flour and fine flour, which were for the minchah in the sacrifices, and that it was divided into ten, becomes clear in Exodus 29:40; Leviticus 5:11; 23:13; Numbers 15:3-10; 28:5, 7, 14. From these verses it is evident that 'a hin' means the extent to which things are joined together, and 'an ephah' the amount of reception. Furthermore the oil served to bind the fine flour together, and the fine flour to receive the oil; for a minchah consisted of oil and fine flour.

[4] In addition there were other measures that were used for ordinary purposes, both for dry substances and for liquids. The measures for dry substances were called the homer and the omer, and the measures for liquids the cor and the bath. A homer contained ten ephahs, and an ephah ten omers, whereas a cor contained ten baths, and a bath ten smaller parts; regarding all these, see Exodus 16:36; Ezekiel 45:11, 13, 24.

[5] But where the new temple is dealt with in Ezekiel a different division of the ephah and the bath occurs. There the ephah and the bath are divided not into ten but into six, and the hin corresponds to the ephah, as is evident in the same prophet, in Ezekiel 45:13-14, 24; 46:5, 7, 11, 14. The reason for this is that in those places the subject is not celestial good and its ability to bind things together, but spiritual good and its ability to do so; and the numbers 'twelve', 'six', and 'three' have their correspondence in the spiritual kingdom, because they mean all and, when used in reference to truths and forms of good, mean all aspects of truth and good in their entirety. The fact that these are meant by 'twelve', see 3272, 3858, 3913, 7973, also by 'six', 3960(end), 7973, 8148, 10217; and in like manner 'three', by which from beginning to end, thus what is complete, is meant, and - in respect of real things - all, 2788, 4495, 5159, 7715, 9825, 10127. The reason why these numbers imply similar things is that larger numbers are similar in meaning to the simple ones which when multiplied produce them, 5291, 5335, 5708, 7973.

[6] Since 'a hin' also means how far something is joined to spiritual truth, a third part of a hin of oil was taken for the minchah in the sacrifices of a ram, and a third part of wine for the drink offering, Numbers 15:6-7; for spiritual good is meant by 'a ram', 2830, 9991. From all this it is again plainly evident that numbers are used in the Word to mean real things. What other reason could there be for the numbers used so often in Moses, Ezekiel, and elsewhere to specify amounts and measures?

893. Verse 13 And it happened in the six hundred and first year, at the beginning, on the first of the month, that the waters dried up from over the earth, and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and saw out, and behold, the face 1 of the ground was dry.

'It happened in the six hundred and first year' means a finishing point. 'At the beginning, on the first of the month' means a starting point. 'The waters dried up from over the earth' means that falsities were not at that time apparent. 'And Noah removed the covering of the ark, and saw out' means the light, once falsities had been removed, shed by the truths of faith, which he acknowledged and in which he had faith. 'And behold, the face 1 of the ground was dry' means regeneration.

Bilješke:

1. literally, the faces

[893a] 1 That 'it happened in the six hundred and first year means a finishing point is clear from the meaning of the number six hundred, dealt with at Chapter 7:6, in 737, as a beginning, and in particular in that verse as the beginning of temptation. The end of it is specified by the same number, with a whole year having now passed by. It took place therefore at the end of a year, and this also is why the words are added 'at the beginning, on the first of the month', meaning a starting point. In the Word any complete period is specified either by a day, or a week, or a month, or a year, and even by a hundred or a thousand years - for example, 'the days' mentioned in Genesis 1, which meant stages in the regeneration of the member of the Most Ancient Church. For in the internal sense day and year mean nothing else than a period of time; and meaning a period of time they also mean a state. Consequently a year stands in the Word for a period of time and for a state, as in Isaiah,

To proclaim the year of Jehovah's good pleasure, and the day of vengeance for our God; to comfort all who mourn. Isaiah 61:2.

This refers to the Lord's Coming. In the same prophet,

The day of vengeance was in My heart, and the year of My redeemed had come. Isaiah 63:4.

Here too 'day' and 'year' stand for a period of time and for a state. In Habakkuk,

Your work, O Jehovah, in the midst of the years make it live, in the midst of the years do You make it known. Habakkuk 3:2.

Here 'years' stands for a period of time and for a state. In David,

'You are God Himself, and Your years have no end. Psalms 102:27.

This statement, in which 'years' stands for periods of time, means that time does not exist with God. The same applies in the present verse where 'the year' of the flood in no way means any one particular year but a period of time that is not determined by a specific number of years. At the same time it means a state. See what has been said already about 'years' in 482, 487, 488, 493.
