出埃及記第15章

学习

   

1 那時,摩西以色列人耶和華唱歌:我要向耶和華,因他大大戰勝,將和騎的投在中。

2 耶和華是我的力量,我的詩歌,也成了我的拯救。這是我的,我要讚美他,是我父親,我要尊崇他。

3 耶和華是戰士;他的名是耶和華

4 法老的車輛、軍兵,耶和華已拋在中;他特選的軍長都沉於紅

5 水淹沒他們;他們如同石頭墜到深處

6 耶和華阿,你的右手施展能力,顯出榮耀;耶和華阿,你的右手摔碎仇敵。

7 你大發威嚴,推翻那些起來攻擊你的;你發出烈怒如火,燒滅他們像燒碎一樣。

8 你發鼻中的氣,便聚起成堆,大直立如壘,中的深凝結。

9 仇敵:我要追趕,我要追上;我要分擄物,我要在他們身上稱我的心願。我要拔出刀來,親殺滅他們。

10 你叫一吹,就把他們淹沒;他們如鉛沉在大水之中。

11 耶和華阿,眾神之中,誰能像你?誰能像你─至至榮,可頌可畏,施行奇事?

12 伸出右手,便滅他們。

13 你憑慈愛領了你所贖的百姓;你憑能力引他們到了你的所。

14 外邦人見就發顫;疼痛抓非利士居民

15 那時,以東的族長驚惶,摩押的英雄被戰兢抓迦南居民心都消化了。

16 驚駭恐懼臨到他們。耶和華阿,因你膀的大能,他們如石頭寂然不動,等候你的百姓過去,等候你所贖的百姓過去。

17 你要將他們領進去,栽於你產業的上─耶和華阿,就是你為自己所造的處;阿,就是你所建立的聖所。

18 耶和華必作王,直到永永遠遠!

19 法老的馬匹、車輛,和兵下到中,耶和華使回流,淹沒他們;惟有以色列人中走乾地。

20 亞倫的姊姊,女先知米利暗,裡拿著;眾婦女也跟他出去拿跳舞

21 米利暗應聲:你們要歌頌耶和華,因他大大戰勝,將和騎的投在中。

22 摩西以色列人從紅往前行,到了書珥的曠野,在曠野走了不著

23 到了瑪拉,不能那裡的;因為苦,所以那地名瑪拉

24 百姓就向摩西發怨言,:我們甚麼呢?

25 摩西呼求耶和華耶和華指示他一棵。他把丟在裡,就變甜了。耶和華在那裡為他們定了律例、典章,在那裡試驗他們;

26 :你若留意耶和華─你的話,又行我眼中看為正的事,留心我的誡命,守我一切的律例,我就不將所加與埃及人疾病加在你身上,因為我─耶和華是醫治你的。

27 他們到了以琳,在那裡有十二股泉,七十棵棕樹;他們就在那裡的邊安營。

8307. 'In Your mercy You have led this people' means the Divine flowing in among those who have been refraining from evils and consequently receiving good. This is clear from the meaning of 'in mercy leading' as receiving the Divine; and since people receive the Divine when they refrain from evils, the Divine flowing in among them is meant. As regards mercy shown by the Lord, the Lord's mercy remains constantly with every individual person; for the Lord wishes to save all the people there are. But that mercy cannot flow into them until evils have been removed; for evils, and falsities arising from them, stand in the way and hinder it. As soon as evils are removed however, mercy flows in, that is, good flowing from the Lord out of His mercy; and that good is charity and faith. From this it becomes clear that the Lord's mercy is universal, that is, is directed towards all people, and is also particular towards those who refrain from evils.

[2] Refraining from evils is something a person can do by himself, but receiving good is not something he can do by himself. The reason why a person can refrain from evils by himself is that the Lord flows constantly into a person's will with the endeavour to do so, thereby giving him the freedom to desist from evils and also to devote himself to good. The Lord also gives him the ability to understand truth, and if he does not understand, it is because he has no wish to. He has no wish to understand it because of the evil in his life; for falsity defends evil, whereas truth condemns it. So it is that a person cannot be endowed with spiritual good from the Lord, thus cannot be led by mercy, unless he desists from evils.
