出埃及记第14章

学习

   

1 耶和华晓谕摩西

2 你吩咐以色列人回,安营在比哈希录前,密夺和的中间,对着巴力洗分,靠近边安营。

3 法老以色列人中绕迷了,旷野把他们困住了。

4 我要使法老的刚硬,他要追赶他们,我便在法老和他全军身上得荣耀;埃及人知道我是耶和华。於是以色列人这样行了。

5 有人告诉埃及:百姓逃跑法老和他的臣仆就向百姓变心,我们以色列人去,不再服事我们,这做的是甚麽事呢?

6 法老就预备他的车辆,带领军兵同去,

7 并带着辆特选的车和埃及所有的车,每辆都有车兵长。

8 耶和华使埃及法老的刚硬,他就追赶以色列人,因为以色列人是昂然无惧地出埃及

9 埃及人追赶他们,法老一切的马匹、车辆、兵,与军兵就在边上,靠近比哈希录,对着巴洗分,在他们安营的地方追上了。

10 法老临近的时候,以色列人举目看见埃及人赶来,就甚惧,向耶和华哀求。

11 他们对摩西:难道在埃及没有坟地,你把我们带来旷野麽?你为甚麽这样待我们,将我们埃及领出来呢?

12 我们埃及岂没有对你说过,不要搅扰我们,容我们服事埃及人麽?因为服事埃及人旷野

13 摩西对百姓:不要惧,只管站住!耶和华今天向你们所要施行的救恩。因为,你们今天见的埃及人永远不再见了。

14 耶和华必为你们争战;你们只管静默,不要作声。

15 耶和华摩西:你为甚麽向我哀求呢?你吩咐以色列人往前走。

16 你举伸杖,把水分开。以色列人要下中走乾地。

17 我要使埃及人刚硬,他们就跟着下去。我要在法老和他的全军、车辆、马兵上得荣耀。

18 我在法老和他的车辆、马兵上得荣耀的时候,埃及人知道我是耶和华了。

19 以色列前行走的使者,转到他们边去;也从他们前边转到他们边立住。

20 埃及以色列中间有柱,一边黑暗,一边发光,终夜两下不得相近。

21 摩西伸杖,耶和华便用大东,使一夜退去,便分开,就成了乾地。

22 以色列人中走乾地,在他们的左右作了垣。

23 埃及人追赶他们,法老一切的马匹、车辆,和兵都跟着下到中。

24 到了晨更的时候,耶和华中向埃及的军兵观看,使埃及的军兵混乱了;

25 又使他们的车轮脱落难以行走,以致埃及人我们以色列人面前逃跑罢!因耶和华为他们攻击我们

26 耶和华摩西:你向伸杖,叫仍合在埃及人并他们的车辆、马兵身上。

27 摩西就向伸杖,到了天一亮,水仍旧复原。埃及人避水逃跑的时候,耶和华把他们推翻在中,

28 就回流,淹没了车辆和马兵。那些跟着以色列人下法老的全军,连个也没有剩下。

29 以色列人却在中走乾地;在他们的左右作了垣。

30 当日,耶和华这样拯以色列人脱离埃及人以色列人埃及人尸都在边了。

31 以色列人耶和华埃及人所行的事,就敬畏耶和华,又信服他和他的仆人摩西

4936. On several occasions spirits have appeared holding rods, who, I was told, were magicians. They are in front, a long way off on the right, deeply within caverns. Magicians who have been more malevolent ones are hidden more deeply than the rest within them. They seem to themselves to have rods, and by means of delusions they also produce many more kinds of rods, believing that they can use these to perform miracles. For they imagine that these rods have power within them, and they imagine this because the right hand and the arm, which by correspondence are embodiments of strength and power, support themselves on those rods. This has made it evident to me why people of old assigned rods to magicians, for the gentiles of old received this idea from the representative Ancient Church, in which rods, like the hand, meant power, see 4876. And because these meant power Moses was commanded, when miracles were performed, to stretch out his rod or his hand, Exodus 4:17, 20; 8:5-20; 9:23; 10:3-21; 14:21, 26-27; 17:5-6, 11-12; Numbers 20:7-10.

Exodus第8章:5-20

学习

      

5 Yahweh said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Stretch forth your hand with your rod over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.'"

6 Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.

7 The magicians did the same thing with their enchantments, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.

8 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, "Entreat Yahweh, that he take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to Yahweh."

9 Moses said to Pharaoh, "I give you the honor of setting the time that I should pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, and remain in the river only."

10 He said, "Tomorrow." He said, "Be it according to your word, that you may know that there is none like Yahweh our God.

11 The frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people. They shall remain in the river only."

12 Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to Yahweh concerning the frogs which he had brought on Pharaoh.

13 Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields.

14 They gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.

15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart, and didn't listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken.

16 Yahweh said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.'"

17 They did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were lice on man, and on animal; all the dust of the earth became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

18 The magicians tried with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they couldn't. There were lice on man, and on animal.

19 Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, "This is the finger of God:" and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he didn't listen to them; as Yahweh had spoken.

20 Yahweh said to Moses, "Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; behold, he comes forth to the water; and tell him, 'This is what Yahweh says, "Let my people go, that they may serve me.
