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。

8293. 'My soul will be filled' means delight. This is clear without explanation. The words 'my soul will be filled' are used because the chief delight of those in hell lies in doing harm to others, in some cases for no reason other than the delight gained in doing it, in other cases with a view to turning them into slaves, whom they then wish to treat cruelly. The fact that this kind of delight exists in the next life with people who lead a life of evil can be believed by scarcely anyone, including even those people themselves. For as long as they are in the world they are constrained by fears - of legal punishments, as well as of loss of position, wealth, reputation, and also life. These fears cause them at that time to refrain from evil deeds in their outward behaviour, as a result of which they imagine that they are not the kind of people they really are. But when they are released from having to think about possible loss of life, wealth, position, and reputation, as happens in the next life, and they are left to their own evil, the delight to do harm, which has lain hidden in the will and has emerged as often as they could remove those fears, reveals itself. That delight now constitutes their life, a life that is the life of hell.
