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。

8370. 'And they encamped there beside the waters' means that after temptation the truths of faith were arranged into order by the good of love. This is clear from the meaning of 'encamping' as an arrangement of truth and good into order, dealt with in 8103 (end), 8130, 8131, 8155; and from the meaning of 'the waters' as the truths of faith, dealt with in 2702, 3058, 3424, 4976, 5668. The reason why 'they encamped there beside the waters' means that the truths of faith were arranged into order by means of the good of love is that 'camp' means truths and forms of good, 8193, 8196, and 'encamping' an arrangement of them, while 'beside the waters' means in keeping with truths that come from God. The expression 'the good of love' is used because every arrangement of truths into order is effected through the good of love; for truths arrange themselves under good and accord with it, making with good one body so to speak in the image of the person in whom they exist. The expression 'in the image of the person in whom they exist' is used because the image of a person's spirit - which, being his internal man, is the person's true self - is fashioned altogether according to the ordering and arrangement of truths by good residing with him. This is why when angels come to be present the sphere of the good of love ripples out from them and impinges on the affections of those who are present; and the truths of faith shine from their faces. In the spiritual world these kinds of things are apparent and clearly perceived. The arranging into order is said to take place after temptation because although forms of good and truths are instilled into a person through temptations they are not arranged into order until the temptations have finished. For a state of temptation is one of turmoil, whereas the state after temptation is peaceful; and when there is peace the arranging into order takes place. Therefore temptations are also followed by a feeling of pleasure as a result of enlightenment from truth and by a feeling of delight as a result of an affection for good, dealt with just above in 8367.
