出埃及记第15章

学习

   

1 那时,摩西以色列人耶和华唱歌:我要向耶和华,因他大大战胜,将和骑的投在中。

2 耶和华是我的力量,我的诗歌,也成了我的拯救。这是我的,我要赞美他,是我父亲,我要尊崇他。

3 耶和华是战士;他的名是耶和华

4 法老的车辆、军兵,耶和华已抛在中;他特选的军长都沉於红

5 水淹没他们;他们如同石头坠到深处

6 耶和华阿,你的右手施展能力,显出荣耀;耶和华阿,你的右手摔碎仇敌。

7 你大发威严,推翻那些起来攻击你的;你发出烈怒如火,烧灭他们像烧碎一样。

8 你发鼻中的气,便聚起成堆,大直立如垒,中的深凝结。

9 仇敌:我要追赶,我要追上;我要分掳物,我要在他们身上称我的心愿。我要拔出刀来,亲杀灭他们。

10 你叫一吹,就把他们淹没;他们如铅沉在大水之中。

11 耶和华阿,众神之中,谁能像你?谁能像你─至至荣,可颂可畏,施行奇事?

12 伸出右手,便灭他们。

13 你凭慈爱领了你所赎的百姓;你凭能力引他们到了你的所。

14 外邦人见就发颤;疼痛抓非利士居民

15 那时,以东的族长惊惶,摩押的英雄被战兢抓迦南居民心都消化了。

16 惊骇恐惧临到他们。耶和华阿,因你膀的大能,他们如石头寂然不动,等候你的百姓过去,等候你所赎的百姓过去。

17 你要将他们领进去,栽於你产业的上─耶和华阿,就是你为自己所造的处;阿,就是你所建立的圣所。

18 耶和华必作王,直到永永远远!

19 法老的马匹、车辆,和兵下到中,耶和华使回流,淹没他们;惟有以色列人中走乾地。

20 亚伦的姊姊,女先知米利暗,里拿着;众妇女也跟他出去拿跳舞

21 米利暗应声:你们要歌颂耶和华,因他大大战胜,将和骑的投在中。

22 摩西以色列人从红往前行,到了书珥的旷野,在旷野走了不着

23 到了玛拉,不能那里的;因为苦,所以那地名玛拉

24 百姓就向摩西发怨言,:我们甚麽呢?

25 摩西呼求耶和华耶和华指示他一棵。他把丢在里,就变甜了。耶和华在那里为他们定了律例、典章,在那里试验他们;

26 :你若留意耶和华─你的话,又行我眼中看为正的事,留心我的诫命,守我一切的律例,我就不将所加与埃及人疾病加在你身上,因为我─耶和华是医治你的。

27 他们到了以琳,在那里有十二股泉,七十棵棕树;他们就在那里的边安营。

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.
