1 Ja kogu Iisraeli laste kogudus läks liikvele Siini kõrbest, peatuspaigast teise Issanda käsu järgi; ja nad lõid leeri üles Refidimi, aga seal ei olnud rahval vett juua.

2 Siis rahvas riidles Moosesega ja ütles: 'Andke meile vett juua!' Aga Mooses vastas neile: 'Miks te riidlete minuga? Miks te kiusate Issandat?'

3 Ent rahval oli veejanu ja rahvas nurises Moosese vastu ning ütles: 'Mispärast sa tõid meid Egiptusest siia, mind ja minu lapsi ning mu karja janusse surema?'

4 Siis Mooses hüüdis Issanda poole, öeldes: 'Mis ma pean selle rahvaga tegema? Vähe puudub, et nad viskavad mind kividega surnuks!'

5 Ja Issand ütles Moosesele: 'Mine edasi rahva ees ja võta enesega mõningad Iisraeli vanemaist! Võta kätte oma kepp, millega sa lõid Niiluse jõge, ja mine!

6 Vaata, mina seisan seal su ees Hoorebi kaljul. Löö kaljut, siis tuleb sellest vesi välja ja rahvas saab juua!' Ja Mooses tegi nõnda Iisraeli vanemate nähes.

7 Ja ta pani sellele paigale nimeks Massa ja Meriba, Iisraeli laste riiu pärast, ja et nad olid Issandat kiusanud, öeldes: 'Ons Issand meie keskel või ei ole?'

8 Siis tulid amalekid ja sõdisid Iisraeli vastu Refidimis.

9 Ja Mooses ütles Joosuale: 'Vali meile mehi ja mine sõdi homme amalekkide vastu! Mina seisan kõrgendiku tipus, Jumala kepp käes.'

10 Ja Joosua tegi, nagu Mooses temale ütles, ning sõdis amalekkide vastu; ja Mooses, Aaron ja Huur läksid kõrgendiku tippu.

11 Ja sündis, et niikaua kui Mooses hoidis oma käe ülal, oli Iisrael võidukas, aga kui ta laskis oma käe vajuda, oli Amalek võidukas.

12 Aga kui Moosese käed väsisid, siis nad võtsid kivi, asetasid selle temale alla ja ta istus selle peale ning Aaron ja Huur toetasid tema käsi, üks siitpoolt ja teine sealtpoolt; siis ta käed seisid kindlalt kuni päikeseloojakuni.

13 Ja Joosua võitis mõõgateraga Amaleki ning tema rahva.

14 Ja Issand ütles Moosesele: 'Kirjuta see meenutuseks raamatusse ja pane Joosuale kõrva taha, et ma pühin Amaleki mälestuse taeva alt sootuks!'

15 Siis Mooses ehitas altari ning pani sellele nimeks 'Minu lipp Issand'.

16 Ja ta ütles: 'Et käsi on olnud Issanda trooni poole, on Issandal sõda Amaleki vastu põlvest põlve!'

8667. Verses 8-11 And Moses told his father-in-law all that Jehovah had done to Pharaoh and the Egyptians for Israel's sake, all the distress that had come upon them on the way, and how Jehovah had rescued them. And Jethro rejoiced over all the good which Jehovah had done for Israel, who had rescued them from the hand of the Egyptians. And Jethro said, Blessed be Jehovah, who has rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of Pharaoh, who has rescued His people from under the hand of the Egyptians. Now I know that Jehovah is greater than all gods, for this reason, that they behaved proudly over them.

'And Moses told his father-in-law all that Jehovah had done to Pharaoh and the Egyptians' means perception at this time from God's truth 1 regarding the power of the Lord's Divine Human against those who were steeped in falsities and engaged in molestation. 'For Israel's sake' means for those belonging to the spiritual Church. 'All the distress that had come upon them on the way' means the toil in temptations. 'And how Jehovah had rescued them' means deliverance by the Lord's Divine aid. 'And Jethro rejoiced over all the good which Jehovah had done for Israel' means the state of Divine Good when all things go well. 'Who had rescued them from the hand of the Egyptians' means because of their deliverance from attack by the molesters. 'And Jethro said, Blessed be Jehovah' means that the Lord is the source of all Good 2 . 'Who has rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of Pharaoh' means deliverance from attack by the molesters. 'Who has rescued His people from under the hand of the Egyptians' means mercy towards those governed by the good of truth and guided by the truth of good. 'Now I know that Jehovah is greater than all gods' means the Lord, that there is no God besides Him. 'For this reason, that they behaved proudly over them' means because of the endeavour and the force used to exercise control over those belonging to the Church.

Фусноте:

1. i.e. perception resulting from the influx of that truth into Divine Good

2. Reading quod a Domino omne bonum (that the Lord is the source of everything good), as in 8674, for Divinum Bonum (Divine Good). In his rough draft of 8674 Swedenborg first wrote Divinum Bonum, then amended to what appears in the printed edition.
