1 ALLORA Mosè, co’ figliuoli d’Israele, cantò questo cantico al Signore, e dissero così: Io canterò al Signore, perciocchè egli si è sommamente magnificato; Egli ha traboccato in mare il cavallo, e colui che lo cavalcava.

2 Il Signore è la mia forza e il mio cantico, E mi è stato in salvezza; Quest’è il mio Dio, io lo glorificherò; L’Iddio del padre mio, io l’esalterò.

3 Il Signore è un gran guerriero; Il suo Nome è, il Signore.

4 Egli ha traboccati in mare i carri di Faraone, e il suo esercito; E la scelta de’ suoi capitani è stata sommersa nel mar rosso.

5 Gli abissi li hanno coperti; Essi sono andati a fondo, come una pietra.

6 La tua destra, o Signore, è stata magnificata in forza; La tua destra, o Signore, ha rotto il nemico.

7 E con la tua magnifica grandezza, Tu hai distrutti coloro che s’innalzavano contro a te; Tu hai mandata l’ira tua, Che li ha consumati come stoppia.

8 E, col soffiar delle tue nari, l’acque sono state accumulate; Le correnti si son fermate come un mucchio; Gli abissi si sono assodati nel cuor del mare.

9 Il nemico dicea: Io li perseguirò, io li raggiungerò, Io partirò le spoglie, l’anima mia si sazierà di essi; Io sguainerò la mia spada, la mia mano li sterminerà.

10 Ma tu hai soffiato col tuo vento, e il mare li ha coperti; Essi sono stati affondati come piombo in acque grosse.

11 Chi è pari a te fra gl’iddii, o Signore? Chi è pari a te, magnifico in santità, Reverendo in laudi, facitor di miracoli?

12 Tu hai distesa la tua destra, E la terra li ha tranghiottiti.

13 Tu hai condotto, per la tua benignità, Il popolo che tu hai riscattato; Tu l’hai guidato per la tua forza Verso l’abitacolo della tua santità.

14 I popoli l’hanno inteso, ed hanno tremato; Dolore ha colti gli abitanti della Palestina.

15 Allora sono stati smarriti i principi di Edom; Tremore ha occupati i possenti di Moab; Tutti gli abitanti di Canaan si sono strutti.

16 Spavento e terrore caggia loro addosso; Sieno stupefatti per la grandezza del tuo braccio, come una pietra; Finchè sia passato il tuo popolo, o Signore; Finchè sia passato il popolo che tu hai acquistato.

17 Tu l’introdurrai, e lo pianterai nel Monte della tua eredità; Nel luogo che tu hai preparato per tua stanza, o Signore; Nel Santuario, o Signore, che le tue mani hanno stabilito.

18 Il Signore regnerà in sempiterno.

19 Questo disse Mosè; perciocchè i cavalli di Faraone, co’ suoi carri, e co’ suoi cavalieri, erano entrati nel mare, e il Signore avea fatte ritornar sopra loro le acque del mare; ma i figliuoli d’Israele erano camminati per mezzo il mare per l’asciutto.

20 E Maria profetessa, sorella di Aaronne, prese in mano un tamburo; e tutte le donne uscirono dietro a lei, con tamburi, e con danze.

21 E Maria rispondeva a Mosè e agli altri uomini, dicendo: Cantate al Signore; perciocchè egli si è sommamente magnificato; Egli ha traboccato in mare il cavallo e colui che lo cavalcava.

22 POI Mosè fece partir gl’Israeliti dal mar rosso; ed essi procedettero innanzi verso il deserto di Sur; e camminarono tre giornate nel deserto senza trovar acqua.

23 Poi arrivarono a Mara; e non potevano ber dell’acque di Mara; perciocchè erano amare; perciò a quel luogo fu posto nome Mara.

24 E il popolo mormorò contro a Mosè, dicendo; Che berremo?

25 Ed egli gridò al Signore; e il Signore gli mostrò un legno, il quale egli gittò nell’acque, e l’acque divennero dolci. Quivi ordinò il Signore al popolo statuti e leggi; e quivi ancora lo provò.

26 E disse: Se del tutto tu ubbidisci alla voce del Signore Iddio tuo, e fai ciò che gli piace, e porgi gli orecchi a’ suoi comandamenti, e osservi tutti i suoi statuti; io non ti metterò addosso niuna delle infermità, le quali io ho messe sopra l’Egitto; perciocchè io sono il Signore che ti guarisco d’ogni male.

27 Poi vennero in Elim, e quivi erano dodici fontane d’acqua, e settanta palme; e si accamparono quivi presso all’acque.

   


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

8282. 'With Your right hand, O Jehovah, You break the enemy in pieces' means the effect almighty power has on evils and resulting falsities, whose power is eliminated. This is clear from the meaning of 'Jehovah's right hand' as the Lord's almighty power, dealt with immediately above in 8281; from the meaning of 'breaking in pieces' as eliminating; and from the meaning of 'the enemy' as evils and falsities, since nothing else is meant in the spiritual sense of the Word by those who are enemies, foes, and haters. The reason why the terms enemies, foes, and haters are used, is not that the Lord is an enemy to them or hates them, but because they hate and are hostile towards the Divine. When however they undergo vastation which they themselves bring about, and cast themselves into damnation and into hell, it appears as though the Divine is responsible for what is happening to them. This appearance or illusion is as when someone sees the sun making a circuit each day around our planet and from this supposes that the sun is moving, when in fact the planet is doing so. Or it is as when someone receives a sentence from the king or judge and is punished because he has broken the law, and then supposes that the king or judge is responsible for what he suffers, when in fact he who has broken the law is himself responsible. Or that appearance is as when someone hurls himself into water or fire, or onto an outstretched sword, or an enemy troop, and then supposes that these are responsible for his destruction, when in fact he himself is. The same is so when those immersed in evil raise themselves up against the Divine, and cast themselves into the midst of His presence.

8281. 'Your right hand, O Jehovah, has been made large in strength' means that the Lord's almighty power has been displayed. This is clear from the meaning of 'Jehovah's right hand' as almighty power, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'has been magnified with strength' as has been displayed, for Divine power is displayed by the strength magnifying it. The reason why 'Jehovah's right hand' means almighty power is that in the Word 'hand' means power, and so 'right hand' means exceedingly great power. Therefore when the expressions 'hand' or 'right hand' are used in reference to Jehovah, Divine power or almighty power is meant. For the meaning of the expressions 'hand' and 'right hand' as power, see 878, 4931-4937, 6292, 6947, 7188, 7189, 7518, and as almighty power, when they are used in reference to Jehovah, 3387, 7518, 7673, 8050, 8069, 8153.

[2] The fact that 'Jehovah's right hand' means Divine power or almighty power is also clear from the following places in the Word: In Matthew,

Jesus said, Hereafter you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven. Matthew 26:64; Mark 14:62.

In Luke,

Hereafter the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God. Luke 22:69.

Also in David,

Jehovah said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies as Your foot-stool. You are a priest for ever after the manner of Melchizedek. The Lord is at Your right hand; He struck kings in the day of [His] anger. Psalms 110:1, 4-5; Matthew 22:43-44.

Anyone who does not know that the expression 'right hand', when used in reference to Jehovah, means almighty power will gather no other idea from these the Lord's words than that the Lord will sit on His Father's right hand and have dominion in the way that one sitting on a king's right hand on earth has. But the internal sense shows what one should understand in those places by 'sitting at the right hand', namely God's almighty power. Hence also the expressions 'sitting at the right hand of power' and 'at the right hand of the power of God'.

[3] The Lord is plainly the One who possesses that almighty power, for the words quoted above refer to the Lord, and 'Lord' in David is used to mean the Lord in respect of Divine Truth, as also is 'Son of Man' in the Gospels, since Divine Truth is that which possesses almighty power, received from Divine Good.

Divine Truth possesses almighty power, see 6948, 8200.

In general power belongs to truth derived from good, 3091, 3563, 4931, 6344, 6423.

'Hand' therefore has reference to truth, 3091, 4931.

'The Son of Man' is Divine Truth emanating from the Lord, 2159, 2803, 2813, 3704.

[4] Divine power or almighty power is meant by 'right hand' in the following places also: In David,

Now I know that Jehovah saves His anointed. Let Him answer 1 Him in heaven through the mighty acts of His saving right hand. 2 Psalms 20:6.

In the same author,

O Jehovah, look from heaven and see, and visit this vine and the twig which Your right hand has planted, upon the son [whom] You have made strong for Yourself. Psalms 80:14-15

In the same author,

You have an arm with power; strong is Your hand, Your right hand will be lifted up. Psalms 89:13.

In the same author,

My strength and song is Jah; He has become my salvation. The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; the right hand of Jehovah has done a mighty deed, the right hand of Jehovah has been exalted, the right hand of Jehovah has done a mighty deed. Psalms 118:14-16.

[5] In these places 'the right hand of Jehovah' stands for almighty power, and in the highest sense for the Lord in respect of Divine Truth. This may be seen more plainly elsewhere in David,

Let Your hand, O Jehovah, be for the man of Your right hand, for the son of man [whom] You have made strong for Yourself. Psalms 80:17.

'The man of Jehovah's right hand' and 'the son of man' stand for the Lord in respect of Divine Truth. In the same author,

You drove out the nations with Your hand. They did not gain possession of the land by their own sword, and their arm did not save them, but Your right hand, and Your arm, and the light of Your face. Psalms 44:2-3.

'The light' of Jehovah's face is Divine Truth derived from Divine Good, so too is His 'right hand' and 'arm'. And in Isaiah,

God 3 has sworn by His right hand, and by His mighty arm. 4 Isaiah 62:8.

Here also 'God's right hand' and 'His mighty arm' stand for the Lord in respect of Divine Truth, for Jehovah or the Lord swears by none except Himself, 2842, that is, only by Divine Truth, since He is that Truth because it emanates from Him.

[6] Here is the reason why various places in the Word call the Lord not only 'the right hand of Jehovah' and 'the arm of Jehovah' but also His 'strength' by which He breaks enemies in pieces, and His 'hammer' too, as in Jeremiah 51:19-21, and following verses. The Lord also came into the world, became Divine Truth there, and subsequently became Divine Good from which Divine Truth flowed, in order to shut all falsities and evils up in hell, gather together all forms of good and truths into heaven, and there arrange them into Divine order.

From all this it is now clear that 'the right hand of Jehovah' in the Word means almighty power, which the Divine possesses through Divine Truth. This is where the meaning of 'right hand' as exceedingly great power has its origin; for those in the Grand Man, which is heaven, who correlate with the shoulders, arms, and hands are those who are made powerful by truth springing from good, that is, by faith springing from love, 4931-4937, 7518.
