学习

   

1 Da sang Mose und die Kinder Israel dies Lied dem HERRN und sprachen: Ich will dem HERRN singen; denn er hat eine herrliche Tat getan: Roß und Wagen hat er ins Meer gestürzt.

2 Der HERR ist meine Stärke und Lobgesang und ist mein Heil. Das ist mein Gott, ich will ihn preisen; er ist meines Vaters Gott, ich will ihn erheben.

3 Der HERR ist der rechte Kriegsmann. HERR ist sein Name.

4 Die Wagen Pharaos und seine Macht warf er ins Meer, seine auserwählten Hauptleute versanken im Schilfmeer.

5 Die Tiefe hat sie bedeckt, sie fielen zu Grund wie die Steine.

6 HERR, deine rechte Hand tut große Wunder; HERR, deine rechte Hand hat die Feinde zerschlagen.

7 Und mit deiner großen HERRLIchkeit hast du deine Widerwärtigen gestürzt; denn da du deinen Grimm ausließest, verzehrte er sie wie Stoppeln.

8 Durch dein Blasen taten sich die Wasser auf, und die Fluten stunden auf Haufen; die Tiefe wallete voneinander mitten im Meer.

9 Der Feind gedachte: Ich will ihnen nachjagen und erhaschen und den Raub austeilen und meinen Mut an ihnen kühlen; ich will mein Schwert ausziehen, und meine Hand soll sie verderben.

10 Da ließest du deinen Wind blasen, und das Meer bedeckte sie, und sanken unter wie Blei im mächtigen Wasser.

11 HERR, wer ist dir gleich unter den Göttern? Wer ist dir gleich, der so mächtig, heilig, schrecklich, löblich und wundertätig sei?

12 Da du deine rechte Hand ausrecktest, verschlang sie die Erde.

13 Du hast geleitet durch deine Barmherzigkeit dein Volk, das du erlöset hast, und hast sie geführet durch deine Stärke zu deiner heiligen Wohnung.

14 Da das die Völker höreten, erbebeten sie; Angst kam die Philister an;

15 da erschraken die Fürsten Edoms; Zittern kam die Gewaltigen Moabs an; alle Einwohner Kanaans wurden feig.

16 Laß über sie fallen Erschrecken und Furcht durch deinen großen Arm, daß sie erstarren wie die Steine, bis dein Volk, HERR, hindurchkomme, bis das Volk hindurchkomme, das du erworben hast.

17 Bringe sie hinein und pflanze sie auf dem Berge deines Erbteils, den du, HERR, dir zur Wohnung gemacht hast, zu deinem Heiligtum, HERR, das deine Hand bereitet hat.

18 Der HERR wird König sein immer und ewig.

19 Denn Pharao zog hinein ins Meer mit Rossen und Wagen und Reitern, und der HERR ließ das Meer wieder über sie fallen. Aber die Kinder Israel gingen trocken mitten durchs Meer.

20 Und Mirjam, die Prophetin, Aarons Schwester, nahm eine Pauke in ihre Hand; und alle Weiber folgten ihr nach hinaus mit Pauken am Reigen.

21 Und Mirjam sang ihnen vor: Lasset uns dem HERRN singen; denn er hat eine herrliche Tat getan, Mann und Roß hat er ins Meer gestürzt.

22 Mose ließ die Kinder Israel ziehen vom Schilfmeer hinaus zu der Wüste Sur. Und sie wanderten drei Tage in der Wüste, daß sie kein Wasser fanden.

23 Da kamen sie gen Mara; aber sie konnten des Wassers zu Mara nicht trinken, denn es war fast bitter. Daher hieß man den Ort Mara.

24 Da murrete das Volk wider Mose und sprach: Was sollen wir trinken?

25 Er schrie zu dem HERRN; und der HERR weisete ihm einen Baum, den tat er ins Wasser; da ward es süß. Daselbst stellete er ihnen ein Gesetz und ein Recht und versuchte sie

26 und sprach: Wirst du der Stimme des HERRN, deines Gottes, gehorchen und tun, was recht ist vor ihm, und zu Ohren fassen seine Gebote und halten alle seine Gesetze, so will ich der Krankheit keine auf dich legen, die ich auf Ägypten gelegt habe; denn ich bin der HERR, dein Arzt.

27 Und sie kamen nach Elim, da waren zwölf Wasserbrunnen und siebenzig Palmbäume; und lagerten sich daselbst ans Wasser.

8278. 'The depths have covered them' means that falsities resulting from evil desires have overwhelmed them. This is clear from the meaning of 'the depths' as falsities which exist as a result of evil desires. In the Word 'depths' is used to mean waters and large amounts of waters in deep places, 'waters' in the good sense meaning truths and in the contrary sense falsities, 739, 790, 2702, 3058, 3424, 4976, 5668, and deep places' meaning the hells. So it is that 'depths' means falsities resulting from evil desires, as well as meaning the hells. The fact that 'depths' is used in the Word to mean waters in deep places and to mean large amounts of waters is clear in Ezekiel,

The waters caused the cedar to grow, the depth made it high, so that it went with its rivers around the place of its planting, and he sent out his lines of water to all the trees of the field. Ezekiel 31:4.

In David,

He split the rocks in the wilderness, and caused them to drink the great depths. He brought streams out of the rock and caused waters to descend as streams. Psalms 78:15-16.

In Moses,

... a good land, a land of rivers of water, springs, and depths gushing out of valley and mountain. Deuteronomy 8:7.

In these places 'depths' stands for waters in large amounts; and waters in large amounts or 'depths' stands for the truths of faith in abundance. 'Causing them to drink great depths from the rock' stands for the truths of faith never failing, for 'rock' is faith derived from the Lord, thus the Lord in respect of faith. 'Depths gushing out of valley and mountain' stands for the truths of faith coming out of love. This also explains why the blessings of Joseph included the blessings of the deep Lying beneath, Genesis 49:25; Deuteronomy 33:13

[2] The fact that 'the depths' 1 means falsities resulting from evil desires as well as meaning the hells is clear in Isaiah,

Awake as in the days of antiquity, the generations of long ago. Do You not dry up the sea, the waters of the great deep, and make the deep places of the sea a road, in order that the redeemed may go across? Isaiah 51:9-11.

In the same prophet,

... Jehovah who divided the waters before them, who led them through the depths; as a horse in the wilderness they did not stumble. Isaiah 63:12-14.

In Ezekiel,

Thus said the Lord Jehovih, When I make you a city laid desolate, like the cities that are not inhabited, when I shall cause the deep to come up against you, and many waters have covered you ... Ezekiel 26:19.

In John,

I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth. To him was given the key of the pit of the abyss; and he opened the pit of the abyss. Revelation 9:1-2, 11.

In the same author,

The beast that comes up from the abyss will make 2 war with them. Revelation 11:7.

Yet again in the same author,

The beast that you saw was, and is not, and will come up out of the abyss and go away to perdition. Revelation 17:8.

In these places 'the depths', 'the deep', or 'the abyss' stands for the hells, and so also for the falsities resulting from evil desires, since these desires exist in the hells and constitute them.

[3] Since these things are meant by 'the depths', temptations are also meant by them, for temptations are brought about by falsities and evils which the hells have introduced. This further meaning occurs in Jonah,

The waters surrounded me, even to [my] soul, the deep closed around me. Jonah 2:5. In David,

Deep is calling to deep at the noise of Your waterspouts; all Your breakers and Your waves have passed over me. Psalms 42:7.

You who have shown me many severe troubles, 3 turn back and revive me, and cause me to turn back and come up from the depths of the earth. Psalms 71:20.

脚注:

1. In the quotations that follow the same Latin word is rendered variously - the depths, the deep, or the abyss.

2. Reading faciet (will make), which Swedenborg has in his rough draft and also in another place where he quotes this verse, for fecit (has made)

3. literally, many and evil distresses

Arcana Coelestia#3424

3424. 'Isaac's servants dug in the valley and found there a well of living water' means the Word as regards the literal sense, which holds the internal sense within it. This is clear from the meaning of 'digging in the valley' as investigating lower down to discover where truths are, for 'digging' is investigating, and 'a valley' is that which is lower down, 1723, 3417; and from the meaning of 'a well of living water' as the Word in which Divine truths are present, thus the Word as regards the literal sense which holds the internal sense within it. It is well known that the Word is called 'a spring', in particular 'a spring of living waters'. The reason why the Word is also called 'a well' is that in relation to its other senses the sense of the letter is like a well, and that where spiritual people are concerned the Word is not a spring but a well, see 2702, 3096. Since a valley is that which is lower down, or what amounts to the same, that which is more external, and it was in the valley that the spring was found; and since the literal sense is the lower or more external sense of the Word, it is the literal sense that is therefore meant. But because that sense holds the internal sense, that is, the heavenly and Divine sense, its waters are for that reason called 'living', as also were the waters which went out under the threshold of the new house in Ezekiel,

And it will happen, that every wild creature that creeps, wherever the river comes to, is living; and there will be very many fish, for those waters go there, and become fresh; and everything is living where the river goes. Ezekiel 47:8-9.

Here 'the river' is the Word, 'the waters which cause everything to live' are the Divine Truths within it, 'fish' are facts, 40, 991.

[2] The Lord teaches that the Word of the Lord is such that it gives life to him who is thirsty, that is, to one who desires life, and that it is a spring whose waters are living, in John,

Jesus said to the woman from Samaria at Jacob's well, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, Give Me a drink, you would ask from Him, and He would give you living water. He who drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst, but the water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up into eternal life. John 4:10, 14.

The reason why the Word is living and therefore confers life is that in its highest sense the subject is the Lord, while in the inmost sense it is His kingdom in which the Lord is everything. And this being so it is life itself which the Word contains and which flows into the minds of those who read the Word devoutly. This is why the Lord, in regard to the Word which comes from Himself, calls Himself 'a spring of water welling up into eternal life'; see also 2702.

[3] The fact that the Word of the Lord is called 'a well' in addition to 'a spring' is clear in Moses,

Israel sang the song: Spring up, O well! Answer to it! The well which the princes dug, which the chiefs of the people dug out, as directed by the Lawgiver, 1 with their staves. Numbers 21:17-18.

These words were sung at the place Beer, that is, the place of the well. In this case 'a well' means the Word which existed with the Ancient Church, as is evident from what has been said previously about the Word in 2897. 'The princes' means the first and foremost truths of which [the Word] consists - 'princes' being first and foremost truths, see 1482, 2089 - 'nobles of the people' lower truths such as those present in the literal sense, 1259, 1260, 2928, 3295. 'The Lawgiver' is clearly the Lord, 'staves' the powers which those truths possessed.
