出埃及记第14章

《圣经》出埃及记-第14章

出14:1 耶和华晓谕摩西说：

†[吕]永恒主对摩西亚伦说：

†[思]上主训示梅瑟说：“

†[当代]上帝对摩西说：

†[新译]耶和华告诉摩西说：

†[Wlb]耶和华谕摩西曰、

†[Xdv]上主对摩西说：

†[Kjv]And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

†[Nkjv]Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

†[BBE]And the Lord said to Moses,

†[GNT] Then the Lord said to Moses,

†[NIV]Then the Lord said to Moses,

出14:2 “你吩咐以色列人转回，安营在比哈希录前，密夺和海的中间，对着巴力洗分，靠近海边安营。 (串)民33:7,8|耶44:1

†[吕]“你要吩咐以色列人转变方向，在比哈希录东面、密夺与海之间，在巴力洗分、东面扎营；你要对着巴力洗分、靠着海边扎营。

†[思]你吩咐以色列子民转回，在米革多耳及海之间的丕哈希洛特前，面对巴耳责丰安营，即在巴耳责丰之前，靠近海边安营。

†[当代]“你吩咐以色列人改变行程，往红海和密夺之间的比哈希录扎营。

†[新译]“你要吩咐以色列人转回过来，在比哈希录前，密夺和海之间安营；你们要在巴力洗分前，对着巴力洗分，靠近海边的地方安营。

†[Wlb]命以色列人旋返、在密夺与海间之比哈希录境、巴力洗分前、建营于相近之海滨、

†[Xdv]“你去告诉以色列人向后转，在密夺和红海之间，靠近巴力洗分的比哈希录前面扎营。

†[Kjv]Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.

†[Nkjv]"Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn and camp before Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, opposite Baal Zephon; you shall camp before it by the sea.

†[BBE]Give orders to the children of Israel to go back and put up their tents before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, in front of Baal-zephon, opposite to which you are to put up your tents by the sea.

†[GNT] "Tell the Israelites to turn back and camp in front of Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the Red Sea, near Baal Zephon.

†[NIV]Tell the Israelites to turn back and encamp near Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. They are to encamp by the sea, directly opposite Baal Zephon.

本会注释　　转回，安营。迄今以色列人是朝东南方向前进。再走一天的路程就会远远地跨过埃及的东部边境。但上帝却下令改变方向。这条命令对于他们来说似乎是非常奇怪和无法解释的。他们要向西南方向前进，很快就来到红海，把他们和目的地分隔开来。尽管圣经相当详细地描述了下一个宿营地的地理位置，但所提到的地名没有一个得到确认。比哈希录显然是一个埃及地名，但其含义和地理位置仍无法确定。
　　密夺和海中间。密夺的意思是“塔”和“堡垒”。无疑指埃及东部边境的若干地方（见民33:7；耶44:1；46:14；结29:10；30:6）。这些“密夺”可能不是城市，而是构成边防体系的要塞（见@出13:20@注释）。
　　对着巴力洗分。虽然巴力洗分也可以指一个迦南的神，但该地点却不为人知。它的意思是“北方的主”或“巴力”。这是一个在埃及纪念碑和迦南北部的碑文中都提到的神。一份腓尼基的文献称他为埃及三角洲大斐奈城（圣经中的答比匿，现在的德芬内废丘，Tel Defenneh）的主神。巴力洗分的地名可能来自这个迦南的神；在城中有该神的神庙，东部旷野的人都来敬拜他。
　　如此准确的地理描写是《摩西五经》所特有的。它首先说明比哈希录本身不是很有名的；其次说明《出埃及记》的作者非常熟悉那里的地理。后来的作者都没有如此细节的地理描写。

出14:3 法老必说：‘以色列人在地中绕迷了，旷野把他们困住了。’ (串)出13:18

†[吕]法老就会说到以色列人的事、说：‘以色列人在此地中绕迷了；旷野把他们困住了。’

†[思]如此，法朗必然以为以色列子民在国境内迷了路，旷野困住了他们。

†[当代]法老必定以为你们走迷了路，被困在荒野里面。

†[新译]法老必论到以色列人的事，说：‘他们在这地走迷了路，旷野把他们困住了。’

†[Wlb]法老必谓以色列族迷于途、困于野、

†[Xdv]埃及王会以为以色列人在陆地上迷路，被沙漠封住了。

†[Kjv]For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.

†[Nkjv]For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, "They are bewildered by the land; the wilderness has closed them in.'

†[BBE]And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are wandering without direction, they are shut in by the waste land.

†[GNT] The king will think that the Israelites are wandering around in the country and are closed in by the desert.

†[NIV]Pharaoh will think, 'The Israelites are wandering around the land in confusion, hemmed in by the desert.'

本会注释　　本段解释了上帝带领以色列人走这条异常路线的目的（见第2节注释）。在人看来，这一路线是十分荒谬的。迦南位于埃及的东北面，可是当他们到达埃及的东部边境时，云柱却引导他们朝西南方向前进。所以当法老得知以色列人走一条奇怪的路线时，自然会认为他们迷了路，在埃及东部的旷野里飘流。逃脱现在是根本不可能的。上帝安排这样的局面，是为了使埃及和周围的国家能学会敬畏和尊重祂的名（见第4节）。

出14:4 我要使法老的心刚硬，他要追赶他们，我便在法老和他全军身上得荣耀；埃及人就知道我是耶和华。”于是以色列人这样行了。 (串)出4:21|本章17罗9:22,23|出7:5,17

†[吕]我要使法老的心硬强，他就会追赶众民，我便可以在法老和他的全军身上得到荣耀，埃及人就知道我乃是永恒主。”于是以色列人就这样行。

†[思]我要使法郎心硬，在后面追赶他们，这样我将在法郎和他全军身上，大显神能，使埃及人知道我是上主。”以色列子民就照样作了。

†[当代]我要再一次叫法老的心刚硬，使他派兵追赶你们。我要藉著法老和埃及军兵的遭遇彰显我的荣耀，好叫埃及人知道我是耶和华。”于是，民众就照样行了。

†[新译]我要使法老的心刚硬，他就必追赶他们；这样，我就可以在法老身上和他的全军身上得到荣耀，埃及人就必知道我是耶和华。”于是以色列人就这样行了。

†[Wlb]我必使之刚愎厥心、追袭于后、我将获荣于法老、及其军旅、俾埃及人知我为耶和华、以色列人遂如是行、

†[Xdv]我要使他的心刚硬，出来追赶你们。那时我要战胜埃及王和他的军队，他们就会尊敬我，知道我是上主。”以色列人照所吩咐的做了。

†[Kjv]And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD. And they did so.

†[Nkjv]Then I will harden Pharaoh's heart, so that he will pursue them; and I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD." And they did so.

†[BBE]And I will make Pharaoh's heart hard, and he will come after them and I will be honoured over Pharaoh and all his army, so that the Egyptians may see that I am the Lord. And they did so.

†[GNT] I will make him stubborn, and he will pursue you, and my victory over the king and his army will bring me honor. Then the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord." The Israelites did as they were told.

†[NIV]And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will pursue them. But I will gain glory for myself through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord ." So the Israelites did this.

本会注释　　见@出4:21@注释。

出14:5 有人告诉埃及王说：“百姓逃跑。”法老和他的臣仆就向百姓变心，说：“我们容以色列人去，不再服事我们，这做的是什么事呢？” (串)诗105:25

†[吕]有人告诉埃及王说：“以色列民逃走了。”法老和他臣仆对以色列民的心就变了；他们说：“我们让以色列人走、不再服事我们，我们作了这事什么缘故呢？”

†[思]有人报告埃及王说：那百姓逃走了。法郎和他的臣仆对那百姓变了心，说：“我们放走以色列人，不再给我们服役，这是作的什么事？”

†[当代]有人向埃及王报信，说以色列民众走了三天还没有回埃及的打算，并且还愈走愈远，法老和他的官员便改变了主意，说：“我们怎么可以让以色列人就这样离开我们，不再服事我们呢？”

†[新译]有人告诉埃及王说：“以色列人逃走了。”法老和他的臣仆对以色列人的心就改变了，他们说：“我们让以色列人离开，不再服事我们，我们作了什么事呢？”

†[Wlb]或以民遁告埃及王、法老与群臣乃变厥心、曰、奚为释以色列族、俾不服役于我、

†[Xdv]埃及王听到报告，知道以色列人已经逃走，他和他的臣仆改变了主意，说：“我们为什么那么呢？我们让以色列人逃脱，失掉了一群奴隶！”

†[Kjv]And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?

†[Nkjv]Now it was told the king of Egypt that the people had fled, and the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people; and they said, "Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?"

†[BBE]And word came to Pharaoh of the flight of the people: and the feeling of Pharaoh and of his servants about the people was changed, and they said, Why have we let Israel go, so that they will do no more work for us?

†[GNT] When the king of Egypt was told that the people had escaped, he and his officials changed their minds and said, "What have we done? We have let the Israelites escape, and we have lost them as our slaves!"

†[NIV]When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds about them and said, "What have we done? We have let the Israelites go and have lost their services!"

本会注释　　法老原先的批准显然只限于在埃及东部旷野三天的路程。当以色列人急剧穿越旷野向红海前进时，法老就出兵追赶（《先祖与先知》第283页）。受苦后的暂短平息使他从第十灾的恐惧中恢复过来。他此时后悔当初的草率之举。当长子死后再也没有灾难发生时，埃及人可能以为希伯来上帝的能力已经到头了。他们以为自己又一次掌握了局面，控制了自己的国土。大批劳动力的丧失将危害国家的经济，并给留下来的人带来困难。

出14:6 法老就预备他的车辆，带领军兵同去， (串)出15:4赛31:1

†[吕]法老就套上车辆，带着兵丁一同去，

†[思]法郎遂命人准备他的车，亲自率领兵士，

†[当代]说完了法老便立刻吩咐人预备战车，

†[新译]法老就预备他的马车，带着他的人民一同去，

†[Wlb]遂备其车、率军偕往、

†[Xdv]于是埃及王登上战车，召集军队。

†[Kjv]And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:

†[Nkjv]So he made ready his chariot and took his people with him.

†[BBE]So he had his war-carriage made ready and took his people with him:

†[GNT] The king got his war chariot and his army ready.

†[NIV]So he had his chariot made ready and took his army with him.

出14:7 并带着六百辆特选的车和埃及所有的车，每辆都有车兵长。

†[吕]并带着六百辆特选的车、和埃及所有的车，都有军官在车上。

†[思]还带了六百辆精良战车和埃及所有的战车，每辆车上都有战士驾驶。

†[当代]由他亲自率领著一队六百人的精锐战车部队，还有其他由埃及官兵驾御的战车，一鼓作气地追赶以色列人。

†[新译]并且带着六百辆特选的马车和埃及所有的马车，每辆马车上都有马车长。

†[Wlb]并率特简之车六百乘、及通国之车、各有车长、

†[Xdv]他带着所有的战车出发，包括六百辆最精选的战车，由军官指挥。

†[Kjv]And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.

†[Nkjv]Also, he took six hundred choice chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt with captains over every one of them.

†[BBE]And he took six hundred carriages, all the carriages of Egypt, and captains over all of them.

†[GNT] He set out with all his chariots, including the six hundred finest, commanded by their officers.

†[NIV]He took six hundred of the best chariots, along with all the other chariots of Egypt, with officers over all of them.

本会注释　　六百辆特选的车。从第十八王朝开始，战车就成了埃及标准的军事装备。从那时起，国王总是驾着战车前往战场。有两辆第十八王朝的王室战车保存到今天，使我们可以充分了解它们的结构。它们的后面是敞开的，有一个半圆形的木制立板，周围有一个带着优美曲线的边框。边框与立板垂直，约有70厘米高。战车有两个轮子和一个辕杆。战车是用两匹小马来拉的。一辆车上通常有两个人，一名战士和一名御车人。
　　军兵长。该词在希伯来语和其他闪族语言中均意为“第三者”，在这里可能指“战车上的第三个人”。该词在亚述指驾车人。但在希伯来语中，该词似乎与“杰出的勇士”同义（参王下9:25等）。埃及战车通常只有两个人，所以这里的“军兵长”应当指“杰出的勇士”。六百辆特选的战车及其乘员可能都属于国王的卫队，随时准备参加追击以色列人这样的行动。

出14:8 耶和华使埃及王法老的心刚硬，他就追赶以色列人，因为以色列人是昂然无惧地出埃及。 (串)民33:3出6:1;13:3,9,10申26:8

†[吕]永恒主使埃及王法老的心硬强，法老就追赶以色列人，以色列人却以（或译：靠着上帝）高举的手出来了。

†[思]上主使埃及王法郎心硬，在后面追赶以色列子民；当以色列子民大胆前行的时候，

†[当代]上帝使法老的心刚硬，不甘心让以色列人昂然无惧地离开埃及；

†[新译]耶和华使埃及王法老的心刚硬，法老就追赶以色列人；因为以色列是靠着耶和华高举的手出来的。

†[Wlb]耶和华使埃及王法老刚愎厥心、追袭以色列人、以色列人毅然而出、

†[Xdv]上主使埃及王的心刚硬，出来追赶以色列人，因为他们昂然无惧（或译：在上主的保护下）地离开了埃及。

†[Kjv]And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand.

†[Nkjv]And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the children of Israel; and the children of Israel went out with boldness.

†[BBE]And the Lord made the heart of Pharaoh hard, and he went after the children of Israel: for the children of Israel had gone out without fear.

†[GNT] The Lord made the king stubborn, and he pursued the Israelites, who were leaving triumphantly.

†[NIV]The Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, so that he pursued the Israelites, who were marching out boldly.

本会注释　　耶和华使……刚硬。这件重要的事实一共提到三次（第4, 8, 17节），与法老追赶以色列人有关（见出4:21注释）。
　　昂然无惧地。就是胜过追赶的埃及人。该词还出现在民33:3中。

出14:9 埃及人追赶他们，法老一切的马匹、车辆、马兵，与军兵就在海边上，靠近比哈希录，对着巴力洗分，在他们安营的地方追上了。 (串)出15:9书24:6

†[吕]埃及人追赶他们；法老一切的马匹、车辆、和他的马兵跟军队、就在海边上靠近比哈希录、巴力洗分前面、他们扎营的地方，赶上了他们。

†[思]埃及人在后面追赶他们，法郎所有的车马、骑士和步兵就在靠近丕哈希洛特，巴耳责丰对面，以色列子民安营的地方赶上了。

†[当代]因此，埃及大军便倾巢而出，大军浩浩荡荡沿著海边猛追，终于在比哈希录附近的巴力洗分追上了正在那里安营的以色列人。

†[新译]埃及人追赶他们，法老所有的马匹、战车和他的马兵与军队，就在海边，靠近比哈希录，对着巴力洗分他们安营的地方追上了他们。

†[Wlb]埃及人众、法老之车马军旅追之、及于濒海建营之处、近比哈希录、在巴力洗分前、

†[Xdv]埃及的军队，包括战马、战车，和骑兵，一直追赶以色列人，到了红海边境他们扎营的地方；那地方靠近比哈希录和巴力洗分。

†[Kjv]But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.

†[Nkjv]So the Egyptians pursued them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen and his army, and overtook them camping by the sea beside Pi Hahiroth, before Baal Zephon.

†[BBE]But the Egyptians went after them, all the horses and carriages of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them in their tents by the sea, by Pihahiroth, before Baal-zephon.

†[GNT] The Egyptian army, with all the horses, chariots, and drivers, pursued them and caught up with them where they were camped by the Red Sea near Pi Hahiroth and Baal Zephon.

†[NIV]The Egyptians-all Pharaoh's horses and chariots, horsemen and troops-pursued the Israelites and overtook them as they camped by the sea near Pi Hahiroth, opposite Baal Zephon.

本会注释　　马兵。埃及当时还没有骑兵，虽然在一个小纪念碑上有过一个骑手的形象。所以“马兵”应理解为驾御战车的人。这样就与当时那里纪念碑相吻合了。因为这些纪念碑描绘埃及只有两种部队，战车和步兵。
　　在他们安营的地方追上了。不知法老赶上以色列人是他们刚在红海边安好营时，还是他们已经在那里驻扎了一天或更长的时间。虽然法老是在以色列人离开后过了一段时间才开始追赶的，但他能够以比以色列人快得多的速度跨越泰尼斯（兰塞）到红海西北岸120多公里的路程。这至少要花两天的时间，大约相当于以色列人从以倘出发穿越旷野所需的时间（见第5节注释）。有关埃及人逼近时所发生事件的描述，似乎暗示以色列人刚刚安下营来，就发现埃及人追赶他们（第9,10节；《先祖与先知》第284页）。

出14:10 法老临近的时候，以色列人举目看见埃及人赶来，就甚惧怕，向耶和华哀求。 (串)书24:7尼9:9

†[吕]法老越走越近的时候，以色列人一举目，看见埃及人前进着赶来，就极其惧怕；向永恒主哀叫，

†[思]当法郎来近的时候，以色列子民举目，看见埃及人赶来，都十分恐怖，向上主哀号，

†[当代]以色列人看见军队步步逼近，便非常害怕，呼求上帝的帮助。

†[新译]法老走近的时候，以色列人举目观看，看见埃及人正追赶过来，就非常惧怕，向耶和华呼求。

†[Wlb]法老相去伊迩、以色列族举目、见埃及人追袭其后、惧甚、呼吁耶和华、

†[Xdv]以色列人一看见埃及王和他的军队赶上他们，非常恐惧，就向上主求救。

†[Kjv]And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.

†[Nkjv]And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them. So they were very afraid, and the children of Israel cried out to the LORD.

†[BBE]And when Pharaoh came near, the children of Israel, lifting up their eyes, saw the Egyptians coming after them, and were full of fear; and their cry went up to God.

†[GNT] When the Israelites saw the king and his army marching against them, they were terrified and cried out to the Lord for help.

†[NIV]As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up, and there were the Egyptians, marching after them. They were terrified and cried out to the Lord .

本会注释　　就甚惧怕。在人来看，他们的境况非常绝望。东面被海阻隔，南面被崎岖的山岭拦住，西面被多山的旷野包围，北面又有埃及人在追赶，他们可能认为根本逃不掉了。况且他们既没有武装，也没有战斗的准备。最后，他们还没有学会信靠上帝的能力和保护。
　　向耶和华哀求。如果他们祈祷伴随着信心的话，第11节就不会留下他们对摩西的怨言了。有些注释家认为以色列人中虔诚的人向上帝哀求（第10节），不敬虔的人则对摩西发怨言（第11节）。

出14:11 他们对摩西说：“难道在埃及没有坟地，你把我们带来死在旷野吗？你为什么这样待我们，将我们从埃及领出来呢？ (串)出16:3;17:3

†[吕]对摩西说：“难道在埃及没有坟墓，你得把我们带来，死在旷野么？你为什么这样待我们，将我们从埃及领出来呢？

†[思]也向梅瑟说：“你带我们死在旷野，难道埃及没有坟墓吗？你为什么这样待我们，将我们从埃及领出来？

†[当代]他们哭著埋怨摩西说：“难道埃及没有坟地，要你带我们出来死在这里吗？为什么要带我们离开埃及呢？

†[新译]他们对摩西说：“难道埃及没有坟墓，你要把我们带来死在旷野吗？你为什么这样待我们，把我们从埃及领出来呢？

†[Wlb]谓摩西曰、岂以埃及无冢地、而导我出、使亡于野乎、曷待我如是、俾我去埃及耶、

†[Xdv]他们对摩西说：“难道我们在埃及没有葬身的地方吗？为什么把我们带到旷野送死？你把我们领出埃及；你看，你做了什么好事！

†[Kjv]And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?

†[Nkjv]Then they said to Moses, "Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you so dealt with us, to bring us up out of Egypt?

†[BBE]And they said to Moses, Was there no resting-place for the dead in Egypt, that you have taken us away to come to our death in the waste land? why have you taken us out of Egypt?

†[GNT] They said to Moses, "Weren't there any graves in Egypt? Did you have to bring us out here in the desert to die? Look what you have done by bringing us out of Egypt!

†[NIV]They said to Moses, "Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt?

本会注释　　人们总是喜欢在遭遇困难的时候埋怨他人。于是摩西成了他们发泄的对象。他们说，他作为领袖不应该把他们领到这么危险的境地。云柱岂不是把他们领进这个无路可逃的陷阱吗？他们反唇相讥道：埃及作为一个充满陵墓之国度，难道不能为他们提供坟墓吗？

出14:12 我们在埃及岂没有对你说过，不要搅扰我们，容我们服事埃及人吗？因为服事埃及人比死在旷野还好。”

†[吕]我们在埃及岂没有对你说过：‘不要管我们，容我们去服事埃及人’么？‘服事埃及人、比死在旷野还好呀！’”

†[思]我们在埃及不是对你说过这话：不要扰乱我们，我们甘愿服侍埃及人，服侍埃及人比死在旷野还好啊！”

†[当代]我们不是对你说过：让我们留在埃及继续服事埃及人吗？服事埃及人总比死在这里好啊！”

†[新译]我们在埃及的时候，不是对你说过：‘不要管我们，我们要服事埃及人’这话吗？因为服事埃及人比死在旷野还好。”

†[Wlb]我在埃及时、岂不曰、任我为埃及人服役、与其死于旷野、宁服役于埃及人、

†[Xdv]我们不是在离开之前就告诉过你这事会发生吗？我们告诉过你别管我们的事，让我们在埃及作奴隶好了。作奴隶总比死在旷野强！”

†[Kjv]Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.

†[Nkjv]Is this not the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, "Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians'? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness."

†[BBE]Did we not say to you in Egypt, Let us be as we are, working for the Egyptians? for it is better to be the servants of the Egyptians than to come to our death in the waste land.

†[GNT] Didn't we tell you before we left that this would happen? We told you to leave us alone and let us go on being slaves of the Egyptians. It would be better to be slaves there than to die here in the desert."

†[NIV]Didn't we say to you in Egypt, 'Leave us alone; let us serve the Egyptians'? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert!"

本会注释　　我们在埃及岂没有对你说过。百姓对摩西是夸大其辞的。他们只是在摩西第一次与法老见面以后压迫加重时才埋怨摩西的（出5:21），而他们开头是很乐意接受他建议的（出4:31）。在离开埃及时，他们是自愿服从了他的指示的。
　　比……还好。当死亡与为奴是唯一的选择时，人们往往会选择为奴而不是死亡。一个习惯于为奴隶、并缺乏独立传统的民族，还没有上升到自由人所达到的勇敢程度，这是不足为奇的。

出14:13 摩西对百姓说：“不要惧怕，只管站住！看耶和华今天向你们所要施行的救恩。因为，你们今天所看见的埃及人必永远不再看见了。 (串)代下20:15,17赛41:10,13,14

†[吕]摩西对人民说：“不要惧怕，只管站住，看永恒主今天向你们所要施行的拯救；因为你们今天所看见的埃及人，你们再也永远看不见了。

†[思]梅瑟向百姓说：“你们不要害怕，站着别动，观看上主今天给你们施的救恩，因为你们所见的埃及人，永远再见不到了。

†[当代]摩西安慰民众说：“你们不用害怕，你们就站在这里看著上帝用什么奇妙的方法解救你们吧！此后，你们再也见不到现在来追赶你们的埃及人了。

†[新译]摩西对人民说：“不要惧怕，要站着，观看耶和华今天为你们施行的拯救；因为你们今天看见的埃及人，必永远不再看见了。

†[Wlb]摩西曰、毋惧、可立而观耶和华今日为尔所施之拯救、盖是日所见之埃及人、后必不复见也、

†[Xdv]摩西回答：“不要怕！要站稳。今天你们要看见上主怎样救你们！你们再也不会看见这些埃及人了。

†[Kjv]And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.

†[Nkjv]And Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.

†[BBE]But Moses said, Keep where you are and have no fear; now you will see the salvation of the Lord which he will give you today; for the Egyptians whom you see today you will never see again.

†[GNT] Moses answered, "Don't be afraid! Stand your ground, and you will see what the Lord will do to save you today; you will never see these Egyptians again.

†[NIV]Moses answered the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again.

本会注释　　不要惧怕。希伯来人的恐惧是可以理解的，然而摩西高贵的勇气和信心却更令人惊叹。自从他胆怯地与耶和华争辩以来（出4:1,10,13；5:22,23），身上确实发生了很大的变化。虽然他可能只是模糊地理解上帝将“在法老和他全军身上得荣耀”（第4节）的话，仍保持冷静，相信一切都会好起来的。他劝百姓耐心等候耶和华的拯救，反映了他自己平静的信心。他们显然没有别的选择。摩西不知道上帝将如何实现祂的旨意。但他在埃及与上帝合作的经验使他确信，不论前景多么渺茫，祂都能拯救祂的百姓。摩西因他的同胞表显得如此小信而感到难过（《先祖与先知》第284页）。
　　埃及人。就是法老的大军。指他们只能在红海岸边看见他们敌人的尸体（第30节）。

出14:14 耶和华必为你们争战；你们只管静默，不要作声。” (串)申1:30;3:22;20:4书10:14;23:3尼4:20|赛30:15

†[吕]永恒主必为你们争战；你们呢，不要作声。”

出14:15 耶和华对摩西说：“你为什么向我哀求呢？你吩咐以色列人往前走。

†[吕]永恒主对摩西说：“你为什么向我哀叫呢？要吩咐以色列人往前行。

†[思]上主向梅瑟说：“你为什么向我哀号，吩咐以色列子民起营前行。

†[当代]上帝对摩西说：“不用再向我求了，吩咐民众往前走吧。

†[新译]耶和华对摩西说：“你为什么向我呼求呢？吩咐以色列人往前走。

†[Wlb]耶和华谕摩西曰、胡为吁我、当命以色列人前往、

†[Xdv]上主对摩西说：“你为什么向我哀求呢？你吩咐以色列人，往前走就是了。

†[Kjv]And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:

†[Nkjv]And the LORD said to Moses, "Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward.

†[BBE]And the Lord said to Moses, Why are you crying out to me? give the children of Israel the order to go forward.

怀爱伦注释　　基督的手使海水退去──基督大能的手使红海的水退去，水在他们的左右像做成一道墙垣。这样，祂作了一道干地穿过海，而以色列民便下海走干地。（1899.155号手稿）
本会注释　　耶和华的话暗示摩西曾向祂求助，可能将百姓的怨言摆在祂面前。上帝这些话并不是责备他，而是劝他采取果断的行动。

出14:16 你举手向海伸杖，把水分开。以色列人要下海中走干地。 (串)出7:19

†[吕]你举起你的手杖，向海伸手，使海裂开，好让以色列人到海中去、像走旱地。

†[思]你举起棍杖，把你的手伸到海上，分开海水，叫以色列子民在海中乾地上走过。

†[当代]你举手向海伸出手杖，海水便会两面分开，以色列人就可以从中间的干地走过去。

†[新译]你要把你的杖举起来，向海伸手，把海分开，叫以色列人下到海中走干地。

†[Wlb]尔其举杖、伸手指海、令其中判、以色列民入海履陆、

†[Xdv]举起你的杖，向海伸去。海水会分开，以色列人就能在干地上走过去。

†[Kjv]But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.

†[Nkjv]But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.

†[BBE]And let your rod be lifted up and your hand stretched out over the sea, and it will be parted in two; and the children of Israel will go through on dry land.

†[GNT] Lift up your walking stick and hold it out over the sea. The water will divide, and the Israelites will be able to walk through the sea on dry ground.

†[NIV]Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground.

本会注释　　当耶和华施行拯救的时候时，以色列人并不是无所事事的。他们要往前走，以见证上帝的大能。祂本可以使红海分开而不需要摩西的协助，假如说举杖也算为协助的话。上帝再次选择借着摩西做工，为要使百姓可以更充分地信任为他们所任命的领袖。不论何时何地，上帝总是要充分利用献身的人来完成祂在地上的工作。

出14:17 我要使埃及人的心刚硬，他们就跟着下去。我要在法老和他的全军、车辆、马兵上得荣耀。 (串)本章4

†[吕]我呢，你看吧，我要使埃及人的心硬强，他们就会跟着下去；我必在法老身上、在他的全军、车辆、和马兵上得到荣耀。

†[思]你看，我要使埃及人的心硬，在后面追赶以色列子民；这样我好在法郎和他全军，战车和骑兵身上，大显神能。

†[当代]我要使埃及军队紧紧地追赶你们，并且跟著你们走进海底。我要藉著法老全军彰显我的威荣；

†[新译]看哪，我要使埃及人的心刚硬，他们就必跟着以色列人下去；这样，我必在法老和他的全军身上，以及他的马车和马兵身上得到荣耀。

†[Wlb]我必使埃及人刚愎厥心、追入于海、我将因法老、及其军旅车骑而获荣焉、

†[Xdv]我要使埃及人顽固，因此他们要进到海里追赶你们。但是我要胜过埃及王、他的军队、战车，和骑兵，他们就会尊敬我。

†[Kjv]And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.

†[Nkjv]And I indeed will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them. So I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, his chariots, and his horsemen.

†[BBE]And I will make the heart of the Egyptians hard, and they will go in after them: and I will be honoured over Pharaoh and over his army, his war-carriages, and his horsemen.

†[GNT] I will make the Egyptians so stubborn that they will go in after them, and I will gain honor by my victory over the king, his army, his chariots, and his drivers.

†[NIV]I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them. And I will gain glory through Pharaoh and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen.

本会注释　　我要使埃及人的心刚硬。圣经只在这里说上帝使埃及人的心刚硬，显然与祂使法老的心刚硬的意义相同（见出4:21注释）。他们听从法老的话，就与他的罪有份（参启18:4）。埃及人无疑希望收回失去的财物，并对任何拒绝的人采取血腥的报复（出12:35；15:9）。在这种情形下，他们的本性变得冷酷无情。
　　他们就跟着下去。基于以前经验的理智，本应使埃及人谨慎行事，不致冒险跟随希伯来人下海。愚蠢和残忍使他们铤而走险（见罗1:21,22）。那些故意离弃上帝圣灵引导的人，通常都是卤莽的。他们既不考虑刚刚受到的上帝惩罚，又被盲目的自信冲昏了头脑，他们顽抗以色列的上帝到底（见帖后2:9-12；启17:14；19:19；20:7-9）。

出14:18 我在法老和他的车辆、马兵上得荣耀的时候，埃及人就知道我是耶和华了。” (串)出7:5,17

†[吕]我在法老身上、在他的车辆和马兵上获得荣耀的时候，埃及人就知道我乃是永恒主。”

†[思]我向法郎，向他的战车和骑兵大显神能的时候，埃及人将会知道我是上主。”

†[当代]那时，他们就认识我是耶和华了。”

†[新译]我在法老身上，以及他的马车和马兵身上得到荣耀的时候，埃及人就知道我是耶和华。”

†[Wlb]我既获荣于法老、及其车骑、则埃及人始知我为耶和华、

†[Xdv]我击败他们的时候，他们就知道我是上主。”

†[Kjv]And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.

†[Nkjv]Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gained honor for Myself over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen."

†[BBE]And the Egyptians will see that I am the Lord, when I get honour over Pharaoh and his war-carriages and his horsemen.

†[GNT] When I defeat them, the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord."

†[NIV]The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I gain glory through Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen."

出14:19 在以色列营前行走上帝的使者，转到他们后边去；云柱也从他们前边转到他们后边立住。 (串)出23:20;32:34民20:16赛63:9

†[吕]在以色列营前面行走的上帝使者、转到他们的后边去；云柱也从他们前面转去立在他们的后边，

†[思]在以色列大队前面走的天主的使者，就转到他们后面走，云柱也从他们前面转到他们后面停下，

†[当代]这时候，那在民众前头领路的上帝的使者退到民众后面去，云柱也随著移到后面，停在以色列人和埃及军队的中间，

†[新译]在以色列营前行走的　神的使者，转到他们后面去；云柱也从他们前面转过去，立在他们后面。

†[Wlb]上帝之使昔行于以色列营前、今移于后、云柱亦离其前、而立于后、

†[Xdv]原先在以色列大队前面的上帝的天使，现在转过来殿后；云柱也转到后面，

†[Kjv]And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:

†[Nkjv]And the Angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them.

†[BBE]Then the angel of God, who had been before the tents of Israel, took his place at their back; and the pillar of cloud, moving from before them, came to rest at their back:

†[GNT] The angel of God, who had been in front of the army of Israel, moved and went to the rear. The pillar of cloud also moved until it was

†[NIV]Then the angel of God, who had been traveling in front of Israel's army, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved from in front and stood behind them,

本会注释　　在云柱中显现的神在第24节和出13:21中称为“耶和华”，在这里却称为“上帝的使者”（见《先祖与先知》第366页）。同样，那在烧着的荆棘中向摩西显现的主也被称为“上帝”和“耶和华的使者”（出3:2-6）。

出14:20 在埃及营和以色列营中间有云柱，一边黑暗，一边发光，终夜两下不得相近。

†[吕]来在埃及营和以色列营中间。一边是云是黑暗：一边照亮着黑夜；终夜彼此不能相近。

†[思]即来到埃及军营和以色列军营中间；那一夜云柱一面发黑，一面发光，这样整夜军队彼此不能接近。

†[当代]到了晚上，云柱变为火柱，一面黑暗，一面有光，有光的一面照耀著以色列民众，埃及人却落在黑暗里，因此，埃及人整夜也没有办法走近以色列人。

†[新译]云柱来到埃及营和以色列营中间；云柱一边是黑暗的，一边却光照着黑夜。这样整夜彼此都不能接近。

†[Wlb]在埃及以色列二营之间、有云有暗、夕则发光、彼此终夜不相近、

†[Xdv]隔开了埃及人和以色列人。云使埃及人陷入黑暗中，却照明了以色列人，因此整个晚上，埃及的军队无法接近以色列人。

†[Kjv]And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.

†[Nkjv]So it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness to the one, and it gave light by night to the other, so that the one did not come near the other all that night.

†[BBE]And it came between the army of Egypt and the army of Israel; and there was a dark cloud between them, and they went on through the night; but the one army came no nearer to the other all the night.

†[GNT] between the Egyptians and the Israelites. The cloud made it dark for the Egyptians, but gave light to the people of Israel, and so the armies could not come near each other all night.

†[NIV]coming between the armies of Egypt and Israel. Throughout the night the cloud brought darkness to the one side and light to the other side; so neither went near the other all night long.

本会注释　　在……中间有。埃及人显然在结束了一整天的长途行军后到达了以色列人的营地附近（《先祖与先知》第287页）。云柱象一堵无法穿透的迷雾之墙从海中席卷而来，隔在追兵与被追赶者之间，迫使追兵止步。埃及人确信希伯来人无法逃脱，决定把攻击推到次日（第23,24节；《证言》卷四第24页；《先祖与先知》第287页）。
　　云柱，一边黑暗，一边发光。参《先祖与先知》第287页。夜幕急速降临，加深了云柱无法穿透的黑暗。同时在以色列人一边，云柱像光明的火把照亮了全营，使他们行军的准备象在白天一样方便。羊群可以聚在一起，驮重物的牲口也可以牵来装货，各支派和家族都可以按照行军的队列排好（见《先祖与先知》第281页）。他们单等出发的信号。

出14:21 摩西向海伸杖，耶和华便用大东风，使海水一夜退去，水便分开，海就成了干地。 (串)民9:11诗74:13;78:13赛63:12|书4:23诗66:6;106:9

†[吕]摩西向海伸手，永恒主便终夜用极强的东风使海退去；他使海成了旱地；水也裂开了。

†[思]梅瑟向海伸手，上主就用极强的东风，一夜之间把海水刮退，使海底成为乾地。水分开以后，

†[当代]摩西向海伸杖，上帝便用强烈的东风把海水分开，水向两边堆成两道水墙，形成中间一条通道；东风整夜地吹刮，海床也就干了。

†[新译]摩西向海伸手，耶和华就用极强的东风，一夜之间使海水退去；他使海变成干地，海水也分开了。

†[Wlb]摩西伸手指海、耶和华令东风大作、海水一夜退流、海遂为陆、水判于中、

†[Xdv]摩西向海伸出手的时候，上主掀起了一阵强烈的东风，把海水吹退。吹了一夜，把海底变成了干地。水就分开，好像两堵墙；

†[Kjv]And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

†[Nkjv]Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided.

†[BBE]And when Moses' hand was stretched out over the sea, the Lord with a strong east wind made the sea go back all night, and the waters were parted in two and the sea became dry land.

†[GNT] Moses held out his hand over the sea, and the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind. It blew all night and turned the sea into dry land. The water was divided,

†[NIV]Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided,

本会注释　　“东风”的原文可以指从东南到东北之间任何方向的风，因为希伯来人用专门的术语来指四方。即使到现在，苏伊士湾的退潮仍会被强烈的东北风所加强。据报道，在苏伊士运河建成以前，苏伊士城以北的海湾退潮时，往往被强烈的东北风吹成了旱地。结果，人可以骑马或徒步穿越海湾。但被东风所加强的退潮并不能解释本节所写海变干地的现象，因为在这时海水会被吹向南边，而不会象圣经中所说的朝两个不同的方向分开。海水这样的分开只有借着神迹才能实现（见《先祖与先知》第287页）。以色列人过红海的具体地点不详。

出14:22 以色列人下海中走干地，水在他们的左右作了墙垣。 (串)本章29出15:19来11:29

†[吕]以色列人下海中、在乾地上走；水在他们左右两边就像墙一样。

†[思]以色列子民便在海中乾地上走过，水在他们左右好像墙壁。

†[当代]因此，以色列人虽然在海中走过，但脚下踏的却是干地。海水就像两道墙，立在他们左右两边。

†[新译]以色列人下到海中走干地，水在他们的左右作了墙垣。

†[Wlb]以色列人入海履陆、左右水为壁垒、

†[Xdv]以色列人走在干地上，过了海。

†[Kjv]And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.

†[Nkjv]So 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.

†[BBE]And the children of Israel went through the sea on dry land: and the waters were a wall on their right side and on their left.

†[GNT] and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on both sides.

†[NIV]and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left.

本会注释　　我们不知道“干地”两边海水的深度。也不知道海水的形态像垂直的“墙垣”，还是喻指以色列人“左右”受到保护。这两种解释都可以（见第21节；《先祖与先知》第287页），但前一种解释可能更好一些（《证言》卷四第24,25页）。

出14:23 埃及人追赶他们，法老一切的马匹、车辆，和马兵都跟着下到海中。

†[吕]埃及人直追赶着：法老所有的马匹和车辆马兵、都跟着以色列人下海中去。

†[思]随后埃及人也赶来，法郎所有的马、战车和骑兵，都跟着他们来到海中。

†[当代]法老的军兵赶到，还追到海床上来。

†[新译]埃及人追赶过来，法老所有的马匹、马车和马兵，都跟着以色列人下到海中去。

†[Wlb]埃及人众、法老之车骑、尽皆追袭其后、而入于海、

†[Xdv]埃及人追赶他们，连战马、战车，和骑兵都进到海里。

†[Kjv]And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

†[Nkjv]And the Egyptians pursued and went after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

†[BBE]Then the Egyptians went after them into the middle of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses and his war-carriages and his horsemen.

†[GNT] The Egyptians pursued them and went after them into the sea with all their horses, chariots, and drivers.

†[NIV]The Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh's horses and chariots and horsemen followed them into the sea.

怀爱伦注释　　埃及人尝试追赶以色列人──当埃及全军“法老的马匹、车辆和马兵”都在海中央时，耶和华对摩西说：“你向海伸杖”以色列人都走过了干地，而只听见埃及军追赶的喊声，当摩西向海伸杖，那像高大墙垣之防护的海水仍旧复原。于是埃及的全军连一个也不能逃脱。他们所有的人都因决意行走他们自己的道路而拒绝上帝的道路以致遭到灭亡。这就是他们尝试追赶的后果。（1906.35号手稿）
本会注释　　最后一个以色列人离开红海西岸以后，云柱也跟着过去，使埃及人看见希伯来人已经逃脱。埃及人立刻向海边前进。他们发现通道还是干的，就急忙进去追赶。当埃及全军都进入海里以后，就发现云柱变成了火柱，以及他们自己已身处险境（《证言》卷一第265页；《证言》卷四第25页）。

出14:24 到了晨更的时候，耶和华从云火柱中向埃及的军兵观看，使埃及的军兵混乱了；

†[吕]晨更时候，永恒主在火柱云柱中往下眺望埃及人的营，就使埃及人的营溃乱了。

†[思]到了晨时末更，上主在火柱和云柱上，窥探埃及军队，使埃及的军队混乱。

†[当代]到了破晓时分，上帝从云柱火柱中观看埃及的军队，又扰乱他们的队伍。

†[新译]到了晨更的时候，耶和华透过云柱火柱向下观看埃及人的军兵，并且使埃及人的军兵大起混乱。

†[Wlb]昧爽、耶和华自火云柱中、俯视埃及军旅、乱其行伍、

†[Xdv]在破晓时分，上主从火柱和云柱中观看埃及军队，使他们发生混乱。

†[Kjv]And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,

†[Nkjv]Now it came to pass, in the morning watch, that the LORD looked down upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He troubled the army of the Egyptians.

†[BBE]And in the morning watch, the Lord, looking out on the armies of the Egyptians from the pillar of fire and cloud, sent trouble on the army of the Egyptians;

†[GNT] Just before dawn the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud at the Egyptian army and threw them into a panic.

†[NIV]During the last watch of the night the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion.

本会注释　　晨更。希伯来人的“晨更”从凌晨三点直到日出。这时的日出是在早晨5:45。
　　耶和华……观看。诗77:17-19生动地描写了这个情节。一场倾盆大雨伴随着雷轰闪电。在红海河床上追赶的埃及人看见两边堆积起来的海水，一定非常恐惧（又见约瑟弗斯《上古史》ii.16.3）。

出14:25 又使他们的车轮脱落，难以行走，以致埃及人说：“我们从以色列人面前逃跑吧！因耶和华为他们攻击我们了。”

†[吕]又缠住他们的车轮（或译：使他们的车轮脱落），使车行走重难，以致埃及人说：“我们从以色列人面前逃跑吧；因为永恒主为他们争战、攻打埃及人了。”

†[思]又使他们的车轮脱落，难以行走，以致埃及人说：“我们由以色列人前逃走罢！因为上主替他们作战，攻击埃及人。”

†[当代]祂使战车的轮子脱落，以致他们难以前行。于是，埃及人说：“我们还是逃命吧，因为上帝在他们那一边，要对付我们啊！”

†[新译]又使他们的车轮脱落，行驶困难，因此埃及人说：“我们从以色列人面前逃跑吧，因为耶和华为他们争战，攻击埃及人了。”

†[Wlb]脱其车轮、使之难行、埃及人曰、耶和华为以色列族而攻我、我其避之而遁、

†[Xdv]他使埃及战车的轮子陷在泥里，不能转动。埃及人说：“上主帮助以色列人攻打我们。我们赶快逃吧！”

†[Kjv]And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.

†[Nkjv]And He took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, "Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians."

†[BBE]And made the wheels of their war-carriages stiff, so that they had hard work driving them: so the Egyptians said, Let us go in flight from before the face of Israel, for the Lord is fighting for them against the Egyptians.

†[GNT] He made the wheels of their chariots get stuck, so that they moved with great difficulty. The Egyptians said, "The Lord is fighting for the Israelites against us. Let's get out of here!"

†[NIV]He made the wheels of their chariots come off so that they had difficulty driving. And the Egyptians said, "Let's get away from the Israelites! The Lord is fighting for them against Egypt."

怀爱伦注释　　法老亡在红海之中──这国王使自己的刚硬他从不信的第一步走向另一步，及至全国的头生孩子……是每一家中的骄傲──都降卑了。在这事以后，他急忙与他的军兵跟随以色列人，他设法要将从那大能者所拯救的人索回，但他乃是在攻击那比任何人的权力更大之权力的一位，于是他与他的全军都消灭在红海的大水之中。（1901.126号手稿）
本会注释　　使他们的车轮脱落。可能指轮子陷在沙子里直到车轴，要花费很大的力气才拉出来，但没走多远就又陷进去了。七十士译本等说上帝“阻塞他们的车轮”。埃及依然能驾御他们的战车，但“难以行走”。暗示车轮虽然没有丧失，却不能正常运转（见《证言》卷四第25页）。
　　耶和华……攻击。神奇的黑暗先把他们与以色列人隔开（第20节），过红海的通道神秘地敞开，猛烈的暴风雨，以及最后难以行走，使愚钝的埃及人认识到，希伯来人的上帝一直在帮助祂的百姓，并有效地阻止他们的前进。他们知道一意孤行肯定会失败，就开始撤退。

出14:26 耶和华对摩西说：“你向海伸杖，叫水仍合在埃及人并他们的车辆、马兵身上。”

†[吕]永恒主对摩西说：“你向海伸手，叫水回到埃及人身上、到他们的车辆和马兵身上。”

†[思]上主对梅瑟说：“向海伸出你的手，使水回流到埃及人、他们的战车和骑兵身上。”

†[当代]以色列民众都登岸以后，上帝便对摩西说：“你再向海伸杖，使海水复合，淹没埃及的军队。”

†[新译]耶和华对摩西说：“你要向海伸手，使水回流到埃及人身上，流到他们的战车和马兵身上。”

†[Wlb]耶和华谕摩西曰、伸手指海、使水反淹埃及人、及其车骑、

†[Xdv]上主对摩西说：“向海伸出手来，使水合拢，淹没埃及人和他们的战车、骑兵。”

†[Kjv]And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.

†[Nkjv]Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen."

†[BBE]And the Lord said to Moses, Let your hand be stretched out over the sea, and the waters will come back again on the Egyptians, and on their war-carriages and on their horsemen.

†[GNT] The Lord said to Moses, "Hold out your hand over the sea, and the water will come back over the Egyptians and their chariots and drivers."

†[NIV]Then the Lord said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may flow back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen."

出14:27 摩西就向海伸杖，到了天一亮，海水仍旧复原。埃及人避水逃跑的时候，耶和华把他们推翻在海中， (串)书4:18

†[吕]摩西就向海伸手；天快亮时候，海水回到原流的分量；埃及人逆流逃跑，永恒主把埃及人都抖在海中。

†[思]到了天亮，梅瑟向海伸手，海水流回原处；埃及人迎着水逃跑的时候，上主将他们投入海中。

†[当代]就在天刚亮的时候，摩西向海再次伸杖，海水就立时复合了，那时埃及人正纷纷向岸上逃命，上帝却把他们推回海中，淹死在海里。

†[新译]摩西就向海伸手，到了天亮的时候，海水流回原处；埃及人逆流逃跑的时候，耶和华就把他们投在海中。

†[Wlb]摩西伸手指海、及旦、水复反如故、埃及人趋而避之、耶和华投之于海、

†[Xdv]于是摩西向海伸手；天亮的时候，水又恢复了原状。埃及人想从水里逃命，但是上主把他们赶回海里。

†[Kjv]And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

†[Nkjv]And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea returned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

†[BBE]And when Moses' hand was stretched out over the sea, at dawn the sea came flowing back, meeting the Egyptians in their flight, and the Lord sent destruction on the Egyptians in the middle of the sea.

†[GNT] So Moses held out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the water returned to its normal level. The Egyptians tried to escape from the water, but the Lord threw them into the sea.

†[NIV]Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea went back to its place. The Egyptians were fleeing toward it, and the Lord swept them into the sea.

本会注释　　摩西再次向海伸杖。东风止息了。海水也合上了（见第21节）。海水的复合和通道的敞开似乎都是风吹的结果（见出15:10）。强西风取代了第21节的东风突然刮了起来，可能加剧了这一过程。埃及人逃跑时，被两边涌来的巨浪所淹没。

出14:28 水就回流，淹没了车辆和马兵。那些跟着以色列人下海法老的全军，连一个也没有剩下。 (串)出15:5申11:4诗78:53;106:11

†[NIV]The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen-the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea. Not one of them survived.

本会注释　　法老的全军。就是进入海中追赶希伯来人的人。一些注释家推断，法老的部分军队可能留在西岸没有被淹没。“车辆、马兵、全军”的说法并不支持许多注释家所认为的只有战车进入海中而步兵留在后边的观点。怀爱伦似乎暗示埃及人全军覆没（《先祖与先知》第287页；《证言》卷一第265页）。

本会注释　　约瑟弗斯（《上古史》ii.16.6）说，以色列人过红海以后，开始刮起了西风（见第27节注释）。这样的风加上水流，会使淹死的埃及人漂到东岸。根据约瑟弗斯的说法，摩西因此而为以色列人获得了武器装备。

本会注释　　是上帝安排引导以色列人过红海，为了在百姓的心中树立起对祂的尊敬和信心。但对耶和华的信心是与对祂的代表摩西的信心密不可分的。因此，这个神迹是借着摩西施行的。以色列人在信心上还是婴孩，需要神迹和上帝的显现。他们的信心是随着眼见而来的，并且建立在眼见之上。但我们的主却宣布说，那些“没有看见就信的有福了”（约20:29）。不断依赖眼见的信心是绝非完美的。以色列人就是这样。如果我们不了解以色列人以后的历史，就会认为他们从今以后一定会欢喜快乐继续他们的行程，不论有多大的危险也将全心全意地信靠上帝，再也不会表现出不信。但事实正好相反。我们发现他们不断地对上帝和摩西表示不满，向他们发怨言，藐视他们的勉言。我们为以色列人的背信弃义感到奇怪，但我们不要轻易责备他们的愚钝。如果我们相信上帝，也是单凭肉眼所见的上帝旨意和手段，我们肯定也不比他们好。
