Moshe starts saying \u05d0\u05b7\u05dc-\u05ea\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05e8\u05b8\u05d0\u05d5\u05bc <span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\"><em>\u201cdo not fear\u201d<\/em><\/span> and then tells the people to simply \u05d4\u05b4\u05ea\u05b0\u05d9\u05b7\u05e6\u05bc\u05b0\u05d1\u05d5\u05bc \u05d5\u05bc\u05e8\u05b0\u05d0\u05d5\u05bc \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea-\u05d9\u05b0\u05e9\u05c1\u05d5\u05bc\u05e2\u05b7\u05ea \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 <span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\"><em>\u201cstand and see the salvation of the Lord.\u201d<\/em><\/span> What this means is that the people were to trust in God and do nothing and watch Him work on their behalf for His glory. Moshe makes this clear in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sefaria.org\/Exodus.14.14?lang=bi&amp;aliyot=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shemot \/ Exodus 14:14<\/a> saying, \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05d5\u05b9\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d9\u05b4\u05dc\u05bc\u05b8\u05d7\u05b5\u05dd \u05dc\u05b8\u05db\u05b6\u05dd \u05d5\u05b0\u05d0\u05b7\u05ea\u05bc\u05b6\u05dd \u05ea\u05bc\u05b7\u05d7\u05b2\u05e8\u05b4\u05e9\u05c1\u05d5\u05bc\u05df <em><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">\u201cthe Lord will fight for you, and you keep silent.\u201d<\/span><\/em> This means that the people were not to complain about their situation, but to keep quiet and wait upon the Lord. Rashi interprets these verses to say the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Rashi on Shemot \/ Exodus 14:14 Part 1<br><\/strong>\u05d9\u05b4\u05dc\u05bc\u05b8\u05d7\u05b5\u05dd \u05dc\u05b8\u05db\u05b6\u05dd means He will fight on your behalf; similar is (v. 25) \u201cFor the Lord fighteth for them (\u05dc\u05d4\u05dd)\u201d; so too, (Job. 13:8) \u201cwill ye contend for God (\u05dc\u05d0\u05dc)?\u201d and thus, too, (Genesis 24:7) \u201cand who spoke on my behalf (\u05dc\u05d9)\u201d, and so, too, (Judges 6:31) \u201cWill ye plead for Baal (\u05dc\u05d1\u05e2\u05dc)?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Rashi looks at the words \u05d9\u05b4\u05dc\u05bc\u05b8\u05d7\u05b5\u05dd \u05dc\u05b8\u05db\u05b6\u05dd and interprets this as the Lord fighting on behalf of the people. Other examples are given from Job, Bereshit \/ Genesis, and Judges, speaking of how the Lord continued to fight for His people throughout history. Rashi\u2019s point is one should remain silent, we are weak, powerless to contend for God, and this is paralleled to <em><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">Judges 6:31 But Joash replied to the hostile crowd around him, \u201cAre you going to plead Baal\u2019s cause? Are you trying to save him? Whoever fights for him shall be put to death by morning! If Baal really is a god, he can defend himself when someone breaks down his altar.\u201d (NASB)<\/span><\/em> What these things are teaching us are how we are to remain silent and not accuse God of our situation, as in this case they were blaming Moshe and God as being guilty of taking them out of slavery to die. Moshe is emphasizing that it is the Lord God Almighty who will fight on their behalf. It is also interesting how <span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\"><em>Or ChaChaim on Shemot \/ Exodus 14:14, Part 1<\/em><\/span> interprets these verses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Or HaChaim on Shemot \/ Exodus 14:14 Part 1<br><\/strong>\u05d4\u05f3 \u05d9\u05dc\u05d7\u05dd \u05dc\u05db\u05dd, \u201cG\u2019d will fight on your behalf, etc.\u201d Inasmuch as the reason the Israelites had been frightened had been that they saw themselves confronting celestial forces, G\u2019d tells them that the most powerful celestial force, He Himself, will fight on their behalf. When G\u2019d is involved personally, even a thousand celestial forces equal to the guardian angel of Egypt are nothing to be afraid of.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>What is interesting about the Jewish commentary on these verses is how these verses are interpreted as Israel fighting against celestial forces. The way this is interpreted, sounds like they are discussing how Israel is fighting against spiritual forces as opposed to physical forces, it was not just the Egyptian army the God was warring against. This sounds a lot like something Paul was writing in Ephesians. If we read through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Ephesians%206&amp;version=NASB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ephesians chapter 6<\/a>, Paul is drawing in many Torah concepts into his teaching beginning with children obeying their parents, etc. Paul is teaching right out of the Torah according to Ephesians 6. Paul also writes according to <span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\"><em>Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. 6:13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 6:14 Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness. (NASB)<\/em><\/span> Doesn\u2019t this sound exactly how Moshe is speaking to the people to remain faithful, and how the rabbis are interpreting the meaning of Moshe\u2019s statements? This does appear to be what Moshe is emphasizing to the people here and the rabbis are interpreting these Scriptures in parallel fashion to what Paul is saying, that Israel is not simply warring against the Egyptian army, but also the celestial forces, as the commentary puts it, against the guardian angel of Egypt, a demonic force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scriptures that we are looking at for this

Thus the one did not come near the other all night. 14:21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord swept the sea back by a strong east wind all night and turned the sea into dry land, so the waters were divided. 14:22 The sons of Israel went through the midst of the sea on the dry land, and the waters were like a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. 14:23 Then the Egyptians took up the pursuit, and all Pharaoh\u2019s horses, his chariots and his horsemen went in after them into the midst of the sea. 14:24 At the morning watch, the Lord looked down on the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud and brought the army of the Egyptians into confusion. 14:25 He caused their chariot wheels to swerve, and He made them drive with difficulty; so the Egyptians said, \u2018Let us flee from Israel, for the Lord is fighting for them against the Egyptians.\u2019 14:26 Then the Lord said to Moses, \u2018Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may come back over the Egyptians, over their chariots and their horsemen.\u2019 14:27 So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its normal state at daybreak, while the Egyptians were fleeing right into it; then the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 14:28 The waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even Pharaoh\u2019s entire army that had gone into the sea after them; not even one of them remained. 14:29 But the sons of Israel walked on dry land through the midst of the sea, and the waters were like a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. 14:30 Thus the Lord saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. 14:31 When Israel saw the great power which the Lord had used against the Egyptians, the people feared the Lord, and they believed in the Lord and in His servant Moses.

The Lord God Almighty is the one who brings salvation, deliverance, and redemption. The message being given to us is how the Lord God was miraculously delivering His people even though they were just as guilty before God as the Egyptians as having worshiped idols, etc. It is within these Torah centric principles that we find Yeshua the Messiah doing what he did according to the NT account. In Yeshua, we see the Lord God Almighty working to save our souls, to deliver us, and to redeem us, just as our Father in heaven had delivered His people here in Parashat Beshalach. We are told the Lord God sent His son to do the work that was needed on our behalf (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=John+3%3A16&amp;version=NASB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John 3:16<\/a>) by laying down his life in place of ours. This is the same principle that we are reading here in the Torah, as there is nothing we can do on our own, all that we do, all that we have is due to God dwelling in our hearts and lives, for His glory! These are the things that Yeshua meant when he said according to <span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\"><em>Luke 24:44 He said to them, \u201cThis is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.\u201d (NASB)<\/em><\/span> The Torah text explains to us the reasons Yeshua had to come, and he did so even though we are guilty, as guilty as the Egyptians, but God has shown us great mercy!
