Исход 15

1 Пою Іеговј: ибо Онъ высоко превознесся, Коня и всадника его ввергнулъ въ море.

2 Богъ, хвала моя, и пјснь, и сдјлался моимъ Спасителемъ; Онъ Богъ мой, и прославлю Его; Богъ отца моего, и превознесу Его.

3 Іегова мужъ брани, Іегова имя Ему.

4 Колесницы Фараоновы и силу его ввергнулъ Онъ въ море, и избранные военачальники его погрязли въ морј Чермномъ,

5 Бездны покрыли ихъ; Они пошли въ глубину, какъ камень.

6 Десница Твоя, Іегова, прославилась силою; Десница Твоя, Іегова, сразила врага.

7 Превосходствомъ величія Твоего Ты низложилъ возставшихъ противъ Тебя. Ты пустилъ ярость Твою, и она попалила ихъ, какъ солому.

8 Отъ гнјвнаго дуновенія Твоего восхолмились воды, Влага стала горою, Огустјли пучины въ сердцј моря.

9 Врагъ сказалъ: погонюсь, настигну, раздјлю добычу; Насытится ими душа моя, Обнажу мечъ мой, Истребитъ ихъ рука моя.

10 Ты дунулъ духомъ Твоимъ, покрыло ихъ море. Они погрузились, какъ свинецъ, въ сильныхъ водахъ.

11 Кто какъ Ты, Іегова, между богами? Кто, какъ Ты, величественъ святостію: Досточтимъ хвалами, Творецъ чудесъ?

12 Ты простеръ десницу Твою; Земля пожрала ихъ.

13 Ты ведешь милостію Твоею народъ сей, Тобою избавленный. Провождаешь силою Твоею въ жилище святыни Твоей.

14 Народы слышатъ, трепещутъ: Ужасъ объялъ жителей Палестины,

15 Мятутся князи Эдомовы, вождей Моавитскихъ объялъ трепетъ, Уныли всј жители Ханана.

16 Страхъ и ужасъ напалъ на нихъ, Отъ величія мышцы Твоей они онјмјли, какъ камень, Тогда какъ проходитъ народъ Твой, Іегова, Тогда какъ проходитъ народъ сей, Тобою пріобрјтенный.

17 Ты введешь его и насадишь его на горј наслјдія Твоего, На мјстј, которое Ты содјлалъ Себј жилищемъ, Іегова, Во святнлищј, которое создали руки Твои, Господи.

18 Іегова будетъ царствовать во вјкъ и въ вјчность.

19 Ибо вошли кони Фараоновы съ колесницами его и съ всадниками его въ море, но Іегова обратилъ на нихъ воды морскія; а сыны Израилевы прошли по сушј среди моря.

20 И взяла Маріамъ пророчица, сестра Ааронова, въ руку свою тимпанъ, и въ слјдъ ея шли всј женщины съ тимпанами и съ ликованіемъ.

21 И воспјла Маріамъ въ соотвјтствіе сынамъ Израилевымъ: Пойте Іеговј, ибо Онъ высоко превознесся, Коня и всадника его ввергнулъ въ море.

22 Потомъ повелъ Моисей Израиля отъ Чермнаго моря, и они вступили въ пустыню Суръ; и шли три дня пустынею, и не находили воды.

23 Пришли въ Мерру; и не могли пить воды въ Меррј, ибо она была горька: отъ сего и наречено тому мјсту имя: Мерра.

24 И возропталъ народъ на Моисея, говоря: что намъ пить?

25 Моисей возопилъ ко Іеговј, и показалъ ему Іегова дерево, которое онъ бросилъ въ воду. и вода сдјлаласъ сладкою. Тамъ Богъ далъ народу уставъ и законъ, и тамъ испытывалъ его,

26 и сказалъ: если ты будешь постоянно слушать гласа Іеговы, Бога твоего, и поступать праведно предъ очами Его и внимать заповјди Его, и соблюдешь всј уставы Его; то не наведу на тебя ни одной изъ болјзней, кои навелъ Я на Египтянъ, ибо Я Іегова врачъ твой.

27 И пришли въ Елимъ; тамъ было двјнадцать источниковъ водныхъ и семьдесятъ финиковыхъ деревъ; и тамъ при водахъ расположились станомъ.

5215. 'And scorched by an east wind' means full of evil desires. This is clear from the meaning of 'being scorched by an east wind' as being consumed by the fire of evil desires. For an east wind' and the east' in the genuine sense mean love to the Lord and love towards the neighbour, lot, 1250, 3249, 3708, 3762, and therefore in the contrary sense self-love and love of the world, and so cravings and evil desires since these spring from those loves. The word 'fire' is used to refer to such desires for the reason dealt with in 5071, and therefore 'being scorched' is used also.

[2] There are two sources of heat, as there are also two sources of light, the one source of heat being the sun of this world, the other source of heat being the sun of heaven, which is the Lord. It is a well known fact that the sun of this world pours out heat into its own world and onto everything there, but it is a less well known fact that the sun of heaven pours out heat into the whole of heaven. Yet this too may become an equally well known fact if one reflects merely on the heat which exists intrinsically in the human being but which has nothing in common with the heat of the world, that is, if one reflects on what is called vital heat. From this one could know that this heat is of a different nature from the world's heat. That is to say, the former is a living heat but the latter is not at all a living one; also the former, being a living one, fires a person interiorly, namely his will and understanding, imparting to him desires and loves, and affections too. This also explains why desires, loves and affections are spiritual forms of heat, and are also called such. The fact that they are forms of heat is quite evident, for heat is radiated from all parts of the bodies of live persons, even where it is intensely cold. More than that, when desires and affections, that is, when loves, increase, the body grows correspondingly warmer. This kind of heat is what is meant in the Word by 'heat', 'fire', and 'flame'; in the genuine sense celestial and spiritual love is meant, in the contrary sense bodily and earthly love. From this it becomes clear that here 'being scorched by an east wind' means being consumed by the fire of evil desires, and that when used in reference to known facts meant by 'heads' that are 'thin', facts full of evil desires are meant.

[3] 'The east wind' means the blasts of evil desires and of derivative false notions, as is clear from places in the Word where that wind is mentioned, for example, in David,

He caused an east wind to blow 1 in the heavens, and by His power He brought forth the south wind; and He caused flesh to rain onto them like the dust, winged birds like the sand of the sea. Psalms 78:26-27.

'The flesh' which that wind brought meant cravings, and 'winged birds' resulting false notions, as is evident in Numbers 11:31-35, where it is said that the name of the place where the people were struck down for eating flesh was called 'the graves of craving, for there they buried the people who had the craving'.

[4] In Ezekiel,

Behold, the vine that was planted, will it thrive? When the east wind strikes it, will it not wither completely? It will wither on the small spaces where it began to grow. Ezekiel 17:10.

And in the same prophet,

The vine has been plucked up in anger, it has been cast down onto the ground, and the east wind has dried its fruit. They have been plucked out and have withered, each rod of its strength; fire has consumed each one. For fire has gone out from a rod of its branches and has consumed its fruit, so that there is no rod of strength in it, a sceptre for dominion. Ezekiel 19:12, 14.

Here 'the east wind' stands for the blasts of evil desires. In Isaiah,

He gave thought to His rough wind, on the day of the east wind. Isaiah 17:8.

[5] In Hosea,

An east wind will come, Jehovah's wind rising up from the desert, and his spring will become dry, and his fountain dried up. It will strip his treasury of every precious vessel. Hosea 13:15.

Here also 'an east wind' stands for blasts of evil desires. Similarly in Jeremiah,

Like an east wind I will scatter them before the enemy. Jeremiah 18:17.

[6] In David,

By means of an east wind You will shatter the ships of Tarshish. Psalms 48:7.

In Isaiah,

You have forsaken Your people, the house of Jacob, because they have been filled from the east wind, and they are diviners like the Philistines. Isaiah 2:6.

In Hosea,

Ephraim feeds the wind, and pursues the east wind. All the day long he multiplies lies and devastation. Hosea 11:1.

'The wind' here stands for false notions, and 'the east wind' for evil desires. Something similar is also meant in the internal sense by 'an east wind' by means of which 'locusts were brought forth' and by means of which 'the locusts were cast into the sea', 2 Exodus 10:13, 19, and also by means of which 'the waters of the sea Suph' were divided, Exodus 14:21.

Imibhalo yaphansi:

1. literally, set out

2. According to Exodus 10:19 a west wind cast the locusts into the sea.

1 The second lot came out for Simeon, even for the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families. Their inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Judah.

2 They had for their inheritance Beersheba (or Sheba), Moladah,

3 Hazar Shual, Balah, Ezem,

6 Beth Lebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities with their villages;

7 Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan; four cities with their villages;

8 and all the villages that were around these cities to Baalath Beer, Ramah of the South. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families.

9 Out of the part of the children of Judah was the inheritance of the children of Simeon; for the portion of the children of Judah was too much for them. Therefore the children of Simeon had inheritance in the midst of their inheritance.

10 The third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families. The border of their inheritance was to Sarid.

11 Their border went up westward, even to Maralah, and reached to Dabbesheth. It reached to the brook that is before Jokneam.

12 It turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrise to the border of Chisloth Tabor. It went out to Daberath, and went up to Japhia.

13 From there it passed along eastward to Gath Hepher, to Ethkazin; and it went out at Rimmon which stretches to Neah.

14 The border turned around it on the north to Hannathon; and it ended at the valley of Iphtah El;

15 Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages.

16 This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.

17 The fourth lot came out for Issachar, even for the children of Issachar according to their families.

18 Their border was to Jezreel, Chesulloth, Shunem,

19 Hapharaim, Shion, Anaharath,

20 Rabbith, Kishion, Ebez,

21 Remeth, Engannim, En Haddah, and Beth Pazzez.

22 The border reached to Tabor, Shahazumah, and Beth Shemesh. Their border ended at the Jordan: sixteen cities with their villages.

23 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar according to their families, the cities with their villages.

24 The fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families.

25 Their border was Helkath, Hali, Beten, Achshaph,

26 Allammelech, Amad, Mishal. It reached to Carmel westward, and to Shihorlibnath.

27 It turned toward the sunrise to Beth Dagon, and reached to Zebulun, and to the valley of Iphtah El northward to Beth Emek and Neiel. It went out to Cabul on the left hand,

28 and Ebron, Rehob, Hammon, and Kanah, even to great Sidon.

29 The border turned to Ramah, to the fortified city of Tyre; and the border turned to Hosah. It ended at the sea by the region of Achzib;

30 Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty-two cities with their villages.

31 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages.

32 The sixth lot came out for the children of Naphtali, even for the children of Naphtali according to their families.

33 Their border was from Heleph, from the oak in Zaanannim, Adaminekeb, and Jabneel, to Lakkum. It ended at the Jordan.

34 The border turned westward to Aznoth Tabor, and went out from there to Hukkok. It reached to Zebulun on the south, and reached to Asher on the west, and to Judah at the Jordan toward the sunrise.

35 The fortified cities were Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Chinnereth,

36 Adamah, Ramah, Hazor,

37 Kedesh, Edrei, En Hazor,

38 Iron, Migdal El, Horem, Beth Anath, and Beth Shemesh; nineteen cities with their villages.

39 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their families, the cities with their villages.

40 The seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families.

41 The border of their inheritance was Zorah, Eshtaol, Irshemesh,

42 Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah,

43 Elon, Timnah, Ekron,

44 Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Baalath,

45 Jehud, Bene Berak, Gath Rimmon,

46 Me Jarkon, and Rakkon, with the border over against Joppa.

47 The border of the children of Dan went out beyond them; for the children of Dan went up and fought against Leshem, and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and lived therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father.

48 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.

49 So they made an end of distributing the land for inheritance by its borders. The children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun in the midst of them.

50 According to the commandment of Yahweh, they gave him the city which he asked, even Timnathserah in the hill country of Ephraim; and he built the city, and lived there.

51 These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance by lot in Shiloh before Yahweh, at the door of the Tent of Meeting. So they made an end of dividing the land.
