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。

8306. 'The earth swallowed them' means that as a result simply of His presence damnation and hell befell them. This is clear from the meaning of 'being swallowed by the earth' as damnation and hell, for that swallowing means falling or being cast down into hell. Hell is also positioned deep down below, being furthest away from the Sun of heaven, that is, the Lord, who occupies the highest position there. The distances of positions away from Him are determined by the nature and amount of evils and of falsities arising from them; and this is why heaven is seen above and hell below. The place where those ruled by falsities arising from evil and consequently in a state of damnation are is also seen as a wilderness-land, which is called the land of damnation. Below this land are cast those sent down to hell, 7418, which happens as a result simply of the Lord's presence, 8265. This now explains why 'the earth swallowed them' means damnation and hell, as is also evident in Moses,

Moses said to the assembly regarding Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, If Jehovah does something new, 1 and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them and everything that is theirs, so that they go down alive into hell, you will know that these men have provoked Jehovah. And the earth which was under them was split apart; and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them. And they went down, and all who were theirs, alive into hell. Numbers 16:30-33.
