1 καὶ ἀπῆρεν πᾶσα συναγωγὴ υἱῶν ισραηλ ἐκ τῆς ἐρήμου σιν κατὰ παρεμβολὰς αὐτῶν διὰ ῥήματος κυρίου καὶ παρενεβάλοσαν ἐν ραφιδιν οὐκ ἦν δὲ ὕδωρ τῷ λαῷ πιεῖν

2 καὶ ἐλοιδορεῖτο ὁ λαὸς πρὸς μωυσῆν λέγοντες δὸς ἡμῖν ὕδωρ ἵνα πίωμεν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς μωυσῆς τί λοιδορεῖσθέ μοι καὶ τί πειράζετε κύριον

3 ἐδίψησεν δὲ ἐκεῖ ὁ λαὸς ὕδατι καὶ ἐγόγγυζεν ἐκεῖ ὁ λαὸς πρὸς μωυσῆν λέγοντες ἵνα τί τοῦτο ἀνεβίβασας ἡμᾶς ἐξ αἰγύπτου ἀποκτεῖναι ἡμᾶς καὶ τὰ τέκνα ἡμῶν καὶ τὰ κτήνη τῷ δίψει

4 ἐβόησεν δὲ μωυσῆς πρὸς κύριον λέγων τί ποιήσω τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ ἔτι μικρὸν καὶ καταλιθοβολήσουσίν με

5 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν προπορεύου τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου λαβὲ δὲ μετὰ σεαυτοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ τὴν ῥάβδον ἐν ᾗ ἐπάταξας τὸν ποταμόν λαβὲ ἐν τῇ χειρί σου καὶ πορεύσῃ

6 ὅδε ἐγὼ ἕστηκα πρὸ τοῦ σὲ ἐκεῖ ἐπὶ τῆς πέτρας ἐν χωρηβ καὶ πατάξεις τὴν πέτραν καὶ ἐξελεύσεται ἐξ αὐτῆς ὕδωρ καὶ πίεται ὁ λαός μου ἐποίησεν δὲ μωυσῆς οὕτως ἐναντίον τῶν υἱῶν ισραηλ

7 καὶ ἐπωνόμασεν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου πειρασμὸς καὶ λοιδόρησις διὰ τὴν λοιδορίαν τῶν υἱῶν ισραηλ καὶ διὰ τὸ πειράζειν κύριον λέγοντας εἰ ἔστιν κύριος ἐν ἡμῖν ἢ οὔ

8 ἦλθεν δὲ αμαληκ καὶ ἐπολέμει ισραηλ ἐν ραφιδιν

9 εἶπεν δὲ μωυσῆς τῷ ἰησοῦ ἐπίλεξον σεαυτῷ ἄνδρας δυνατοὺς καὶ ἐξελθὼν παράταξαι τῷ αμαληκ αὔριον καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἕστηκα ἐπὶ τῆς κορυφῆς τοῦ βουνοῦ καὶ ἡ ῥάβδος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν τῇ χειρί μου

10 καὶ ἐποίησεν ἰησοῦς καθάπερ εἶπεν αὐτῷ μωυσῆς καὶ ἐξελθὼν παρετάξατο τῷ αμαληκ καὶ μωυσῆς καὶ ααρων καὶ ωρ ἀνέβησαν ἐπὶ τὴν κορυφὴν τοῦ βουνοῦ

11 καὶ ἐγίνετο ὅταν ἐπῆρεν μωυσῆς τὰς χεῖρας κατίσχυεν ισραηλ ὅταν δὲ καθῆκεν τὰς χεῖρας κατίσχυεν αμαληκ

12 αἱ δὲ χεῖρες μωυσῆ βαρεῖαι καὶ λαβόντες λίθον ὑπέθηκαν ὑπ' αὐτόν καὶ ἐκάθητο ἐπ' αὐτοῦ καὶ ααρων καὶ ωρ ἐστήριζον τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ ἐντεῦθεν εἷς καὶ ἐντεῦθεν εἷς καὶ ἐγένοντο αἱ χεῖρες μωυσῆ ἐστηριγμέναι ἕως δυσμῶν ἡλίου

13 καὶ ἐτρέψατο ἰησοῦς τὸν αμαληκ καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν φόνῳ μαχαίρας

14 εἶπεν δὲ κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν κατάγραψον τοῦτο εἰς μνημόσυνον ἐν βιβλίῳ καὶ δὸς εἰς τὰ ὦτα ἰησοῖ ὅτι ἀλοιφῇ ἐξαλείψω τὸ μνημόσυνον αμαληκ ἐκ τῆς ὑπὸ τὸν οὐρανόν

15 καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν μωυσῆς θυσιαστήριον κυρίῳ καὶ ἐπωνόμασεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ κύριός μου καταφυγή

16 ὅτι ἐν χειρὶ κρυφαίᾳ πολεμεῖ κύριος ἐπὶ αμαληκ ἀπὸ γενεῶν εἰς γενεάς

8595. 'And Moses said to Joshua' means a Divine influx into truth that engages in conflict. This is clear from the meaning here of 'saying' as influx, since it passes into truth that engages in conflict, represented by 'Joshua', the reason why this influx is Divine being that 'Moses' represents Divine Truth, that is, truth which goes forth directly from the Lord (this truth, since it is wholly Divine, is what flows into any truth of faith whatever and causes it to be a truth); and from the representation of 'Joshua' as truth that engages in conflict. 'Joshua' clearly represents truth that engages in conflict because he was commanded to fight against Amalek, that is, against falsities arising from interior evil. This is what the truth made militant through an influx of Divine Truth has to fight against. God's truth itself which goes forth directly from the Lord does not engage in conflict but is peaceable, being peace itself, since it goes forth from the Divine Goodness of the Lord's Divine Love. But to become militant it flows in among such angels as have a burning zeal for what is true and good, and when roused by that zeal they go into battle. This is the origin of the truth engaging in conflict that is represented by 'Joshua'.

[2] Because such truth was represented by 'Joshua' he also became the leader of the children of Israel after Moses, led them into the land of Canaan, and fought the nations there. This also explains why, when he came into the land of Canaan, there appeared to him the Angel of Jehovah with his sword drawn in his hand, who called himself Commander of Jehovah's army, Joshua 5:13-15. 'His sword drawn in his hand' means God's truth that engages in conflict, in its power.

'The sword' means truth engaging in conflict, see 2799, 4499; as unceasing conflict against falsities and evils, 8294.

'Hand' means power, 878, 4931-4937, 7518, 8050, 8153.

And by 'the nations' in the land of Canaan are meant the falsities and evils that must be fought against, 8054.
