2 Mosebok第14章

1 Og Herren talte til Moses og sa:

2 Si til Israels barn at de skal vende om og slå leir foran Pi-Hakirot, mellem Migdol og havet; midt imot Ba'al-Sefon, der skal I slå leir ved havet.

3 Farao vil da si om Israels barn: De farer vill i landet, ørkenen har lukket dem inne.

4 Og jeg vil forherde Faraos hjerte, så han forfølger dem, og jeg vil åpenbare min herlighet på Farao og hele hans hær, og egypterne skal kjenne at jeg er Herren. Og de gjorde så.

5 Da det nu blev meldt kongen i Egypten at folket var flyktet, skiftet Farao og hans tjenere sinn mot folket, og de sa: Hvorledes kunde vi gjøre dette og la Israel dra bort fra vår tjeneste?

6 Så lot han spenne for sin vogn og tok sitt hærfolk med sig.

7 Han tok seks hundre utvalgte vogner og alle de andre vogner i Egypten, og krigsmenn var det på dem alle.

8 For Herren forherdet Faraos, egypterkongens, hjerte, så han forfulgte Israels barn; men Israels barn drog ut med løftet hånd.

9 Så forfulgte egypterne dem og nådde dem igjen da de lå i leir ved havet, alle Faraos vogner og hestfolk og hele hans hær, ved Pi-Hakirot, foran Ba'al-Sefon.

10 Og Farao kom nærmere og nærmere, og da Israels barn så sig om, fikk de se egypterne komme settende efter dem; da kom det stor redsel over Israels barn, og de ropte til Herren.

11 Og de sa til Moses: Var det da ingen graver i Egypten siden du har ført oss hit for å i ørkenen? Hvorfor har du gjort dette mot oss og ført oss ut av Egypten?

12 Var det ikke det vi sa til dig i Egypten: La oss være i fred, vi vil tjene egypterne; det er bedre for oss å tjene egypterne enn å i ørkenen?

13 Da sa Moses til folket: Frykt ikke, stå nu her og se Herrens frelse, som han vil sende eder idag! For som I ser egypterne idag, skal I aldri i evighet se dem mere.

14 Herren skal stride for eder, og I skal være stille.

15 Og Herren sa til Moses: Hvorfor roper du til mig? Si til Israels barn at de skal bryte op!

16 Løft nu du op din stav og rekk ut din hånd over havet og skill det at, og Israels barn skal gå midt igjennem havet på det tørre.

17 Men jeg vil forherde egypternes hjerte, så de setter efter eder; og jeg vil åpenbare min herlighet på Farao og hele hans hær, på hans vogner og hestfolk.

18 Og egypterne skal kjenne at jeg er Herren, når jeg åpenbarer min herlighet på Farao, på hans vogner og hestfolk.

19 Og Guds engel, som gikk foran Israels leir, flyttet sig og gikk bakefter dem; skystøtten, som var foran dem, flyttet sig og stilte sig bak dem,

20 så den kom imellem egypternes leir og Israels leir; på den ene side var den sky og mørke, og på den annen side lyste den op natten; og den ene leir kom ikke inn på den andre hele natten.

21 Da rakte Moses ut sin hånd over havet, og Herren drev havet bort med en sterk østenvind, som blåste hele natten, og han gjorde havet til tørt land, og vannet skiltes at.

22 Og Israels barn gikk midt igjennem havet på det tørre, og vannet stod som en mur på deres høire og på deres venstre side.

23 Og egypterne satte efter og fulgte dem til midt ut i havet, alle Faraos hester, hans vogner og hestfolk.

24 Men ved morgenvaktens tid skuet Herren fra ild- og skystøtten ned på egypternes leir, og han forvirret egypternes leir,

25 og han slo hjulene av deres vogner, så det blev tungt for dem å komme frem. Da sa egypterne: La oss flykte for Israel; for Herren strider for dem imot egypterne.

26 Da sa Herren til Moses: ekk ut din hånd over havet, så skal vannet vende tilbake over egypterne, over deres vogner og deres hestfolk.

27 Så rakte Moses ut sin hånd over havet, og da det led mot morgenen, vendte havet tilbake til sitt vanlige leie, og egypterne flyktet like mot det; og Herren styrtet egypterne midt ut i havet.

28 Vannet vendte tilbake og skjulte vognene og hestfolket i hele Faraos hær, som var kommet efter dem ut i havet; det blev ikke en eneste tilbake av dem.

29 Men Israels barn gikk på det tørre midt igjennem havet, og vannet stod som en mur på deres høire og på deres venstre side.

30 Således frelste Herren den dag Israel av egypternes hånd, og Israelegypterne ligge døde på havstranden.

31 Og da Israel så den veldige gjerning Herren hadde gjort med egypterne, da fryktet folket Herren; og de trodde på Herren og på hans tjener Moses.

8232. 'Not so much as one of them remained' means every single one. This is clear without explanation.

The subject in this verse has been the plunging or casting into hell of those who were steeped in falsities arising from evil. But few know what being plunged and cast into hell may be. They imagine that it is being cast down into some place where the devil and his crew are, and that these torment people there. But that is not the situation. When people there are cast into hell, it is nothing other than their being completely choked by utter falsities arising from the evil which ruled them when they were in the world. When they are completely choked by them there they are in hell. The actual evils and falsities in which those people are now immersed are what torment them. But the torment is not due to any grief they feel because they have done evil in the past but because - since doing evil is the delight of their life - they cannot do it in the present; for when they do evil there they suffer punishment and torment at the hands of those to whom they do it. What motivates them chiefly when they do evil to one another is a desire to exercise control, in order to place others in subjection to themselves, which, if others do not allow themselves to be placed in subjection, they accomplish by a thousand methods of punishment and torment. But control there, which they constantly strive to possess, passes by turns from one to another, which means that those who have punished and tormented others are then themselves punished and tormented by others. And this goes on until at length the fear of punishment serves to cool their ardour. From all this one may now see where hell originates and what hell is. Nor is hell fire anything other than the cravings of self-love, which inflame and torment, 6314, 7324, 7575.

Exodus第14章

学习

   

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2 "Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall encamp opposite it by the sea.

3 Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, 'They are entangled in the land. The wilderness has shut them in.'

4 I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will follow after them; and I will get honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies; and the Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh." They did so.

5 It was told the king of Egypt that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed towards the people, and they said, "What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?"

6 He prepared his chariot, and took his army with him;

7 and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over all of them.

8 Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel; for the children of Israel went out with a high hand.

9 The Egyptians pursued after them: all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and his army; and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baal Zephon.

10 When Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were very afraid. The children of Israel cried out to Yahweh.

11 They said to Moses, "Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us this way, to bring us forth out of Egypt?

12 Isn't this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, 'Leave us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians?' For it were better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness."

13 Moses said to the people, "Don't be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will work for you today: for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you shall never see them again.

14 Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still."

15 Yahweh said to Moses, "Why do you cry to me? Speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward.

16 Lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go into the midst of the sea on dry ground.

17 I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them: and I will get myself honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.

18 The Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have gotten myself honor over Pharaoh, over his chariots, and over his horsemen."

19 The angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them, and stood behind them.

20 It came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud and the darkness, yet gave it light by night: and the one didn't come near the other all the night.

21 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and Yahweh caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

22 The children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.

23 The Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the midst of the sea: all of Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

24 It happened in the morning watch, that Yahweh looked out on the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and confused the Egyptian army.

25 He took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians said, "Let's flee from the face of Israel, for Yahweh fights for them against the Egyptians!"

26 Yahweh said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen."

27 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it. Yahweh overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

28 The waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even all Pharaoh's army that went in after them into the sea. There remained not so much as one of them.

29 But the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.

30 Thus Yahweh saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.

31 Israel saw the great work which Yahweh did to the Egyptians, and the people feared Yahweh; and they believed in Yahweh, and in his servant Moses.
