5 Mose 14

Проучване

   

1 Ihr seid Kinder des HERRN, eures Gottes; ihr sollt euch nicht Male stechen noch kahl scheren über den Augen über einem Toten.

2 Denn du bist ein heilig Volk dem HERRN, deinem Gott, und der HERR hat dich erwählet, daß du sein Eigentum seiest aus allen Völkern, die auf Erden sind.

3 Du sollst keinen Greuel essen.

4 Dies ist aber das Tier, das ihr essen sollt: Ochsen, Schafe, Ziegen,

5 Hirsch, Rehe, Büffel, Steinbock, Tendeln, Urochs und Elen

6 und alles Tier, das seine Klauen spaltet und wiederkäuet, sollt ihr essen.

7 Das sollt ihr aber nicht essen, das wiederkäuet und die Klauen nicht spaltet. Das Kamel, der Hase und Kaninchen, die da wiederkäuen und doch die Klauen nicht spalten, sollen euch unrein sein.

8 Das Schwein, ob es wohl die Klauen spaltet, so wiederkäuet es doch nicht, soll euch unrein sein. Ihres Fleisches sollt ihr nicht essen und ihr Aas sollt ihr nicht anrühren.

9 Das ist, das ihr essen sollt von allem, das in Wassern ist: alles, was Floßfedern und Schuppen hat, sollt ihr essen.

10 Was aber keine Floßfedern noch Schuppen hat, sollt ihr nicht essen; denn es ist euch unrein.

11 Alle reinen Vögel esset.

12 Das sind sie aber, die ihr nicht essen sollt: der Adler, der Habicht, der Fischaar;

13 der Taucher, der Weihe, der Geier mit seiner Art

14 und alle Raben mit ihrer Art,

15 der Strauß, die Nachteule, der Kuckuck, der Sperber mit seiner Art,

16 das Käuzlein, der Uhu, die Fledermaus,

17 die Rohrdommel, der Storch, der Schwan,

18 der Reiher, der Häher mit seiner Art, der Wiedehopf, die Schwalbe;

19 und alles Gevögel, das kreucht, soll euch unrein sein, und sollt es nicht essen.

20 Das reine Gevögel sollt ihr essen.

21 Ihr sollt kein Aas essen; dem Fremdling in deinem Tor magst du es geben, daß er's esse, oder verkaufe es einem Fremden; denn du bist ein heilig Volk dem HERRN, deinem Gott. Du sollst das Böcklein nicht kochen, weil es noch seine Mutter säuget.

22 Du sollst alle Jahr den Zehnten absondern alles Einkommens deiner Saat, das aus deinem Acker kommt;

23 und sollst es essen vor dem HERRN, deinem Gott, an dem Ort, den er erwählet, daß sein Name daselbst wohne, nämlich vom Zehnten deines Getreides, deines Mosts, deines Öls und der Erstgeburt deiner Rinder und deiner Schafe, auf daß du lernest fürchten den HERRN, deinen Gott, dein Leben lang.

24 Wenn aber des Weges dir zu viel ist, daß du solches nicht hintragen kannst, darum daß der Ort dir zu ferne ist, den der HERR, dein Gott, erwählet hat, daß er seinen Namen daselbst wohnen lasse (denn der HERR, dein, Gott, hat dich gesegnet),

25 so gib's um Geld und fasse das Geld in deine Hand und gehe an den Ort, den der HERR, dein Gott, erwählet hat,

26 und gib das Geld um alles, was deine Seele gelüstet, es sei um Rinder, Schafe, Wein, starken Trank oder um alles, das deine Seele wünschet. Und iß daselbst vor dem HERRN, deinem Gott, und sei fröhlich, du und dein Haus

27 und der Levit, der in deinem Tor ist; du sollst ihn nicht verlassen, denn er hat kein Teil noch Erbe mit dir.

28 Über drei Jahre sollst du aussondern alle Zehnten deines Einkommens desselben Jahrs und sollst es lassen in deinem Tor.

29 So soll kommen der Levit, der kein Teil noch Erbe mit dir hat, und der Fremdling und der Waise und die Witwe, die in deinem Tor sind, und essen und sich sättigen, auf daß dich der HERR, dein Gott, segne in allen Werken deiner Hand, die du tust.

In Genesis 24:10, 64, this signifies in general worldly knowledge in the natural man. (Arcana Coelestia 3046, 4104)

In Jeremiah 49:32, this signifies memory-knowledges used to confirm truths or falsities. (Apocalypse Explained 417[7])

A camel (Matthew 22:24) signifies scientific knowledge.

4104. 'And set his sons and his womenfolk on camels' means a raising up of truths and of affections for these, and the arrangement of them within things that are general. This is clear from the meaning of 'sons' as truths, dealt with in 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2623; from the meaning of 'womenfolk', who in this case are Rachel and Leah, and also their servant-girls, as affections for truth, for cognitions, and for facts, dealt with already; and from the meaning of 'camels' as general facts within the natural, dealt with in 3048, 3071, 3143, 3145.

[2] Anyone who does not have some knowledge of representations and correspondences is incapable of believing that the words 'he set his sons and his womenfolk on camels' mean such things. To him they seem too remote to incorporate and contain within them that which is spiritual; for he thinks about sons, womenfolk, and camels. But the angels, who see and perceive all such things in a spiritual manner, do not think of sons but of truths when 'sons' are mentioned; they do not think of womenfolk but of affections for truth, cognitions, and facts when 'womenfolk' are mentioned; nor do they think of camels but of things that are general within the natural when these are mentioned. For such is the correspondence between the one thing and the other, and such is the way in which angels think. And what is remarkable, it is also the way in which the internal spiritual man thinks while living in the body, though the external man is totally unaware of it. For the same reason when a person who has been regenerated dies he enters into a similar manner of thinking and is able to think with and talk to angels. And this he does without being taught to do so, something that would never have been possible if his interior thought had not been such. The fact that it is such is due to the correspondence of natural things with spiritual. From this it may be seen that although the literal sense of the Word is natural it nevertheless contains spiritual things within it, and in every single part, that is, it contains the kind of things that belong to thought and therefore to interior or spiritual language, such as angels employ.

[3] With regard to the raising up of truths and of the affections for these, and the arrangement of them within things that are general, truths and affections are raised up when the things of eternal life and of the Lord's kingdom are thought to be more important than those of life in the body and of the kingdom of this world. When a person acknowledges the former to be first and foremost, and the latter to be secondary and subordinate, the truths he knows and his affections for them are raised up. For as is his acknowledgement so in the same measure is that person conveyed into the light of heaven, which light holds intelligence and wisdom within it, and so also in the same measure do things belonging to the light of this world become for him images and so to speak mirrors in which he sees the things belonging to the light of heaven. The contrary takes place when he thinks the things of the life of the body and of the kingdom of this world to be more important than those of eternal life and of the Lord's kingdom. He does this when he believes that the latter do not exist because he does not see them and because nobody has come from there and given an account of them - or if he does believe that they may exist, nothing worse will happen to him than to others - and in so believing confirms himself in these ideas, leads a worldly life, and despises charity and faith altogether. With such a person truths and the affections for them are not raised up but are either smothered, or rejected, or perverted. For he dwells in natural light into which no heavenly light at all flows in. This shows what is meant by a raising up of truths and of affections for them.

[4] As for the arrangement of these truths and affections within things that are general, this is the inevitable consequence; for insofar as a person thinks heavenly things are more important than worldly ones, things within his natural are arranged into an order in keeping with the state of heaven. As a result they are seen in the natural, as has been stated, as images and mirrors of heavenly things, for they are representatives that correspond. It is the ends in view which effect the arranging, that is, the Lord effects it by means of the ends which the person has in view. For there are three things which follow in order ends, causes, and effects. Ends bring about causes, and by means of causes bring about effects. As is the nature of the ends therefore so is that of the emanating causes, and from these that of the effects. Ends constitute the inmost things with man; causes constitute the intermediate things and are called the intermediate ends; and effects constitute the ultimate things and are called the ultimate ends. Effects also constitute the things which are termed general. From this one may see what is meant by an arrangement within things that are general, namely this: When anyone has the things of eternal life and of the Lord's kingdom as his end in view, then all intermediate ends, which are causes, and all ultimate ends, which are effects, are arranged in accordance with the end itself. And this is situated within the natural because that is where effects reside, or what amounts to the same, where things that are general reside.

[5] Every adult person possessing any judgement at all can recognize, if he gives the matter any consideration, that he is living in two kingdoms, the spiritual kingdom and the natural one. He can recognize that the spiritual kingdom is interior and the natural exterior, and consequently that he is able to think one more important than the other, that is, to have one rather than the other in view, and therefore that with him the one which he has as his end in view or makes more important is predominant. If therefore he has the spiritual kingdom, that is, the things which constitute that kingdom, as his end and thinks the spiritual kingdom more important than the natural one, then he acknowledges as being first and foremost love to the Lord and charity towards the neighbour, and consequently all ideas that reinforce love and charity, and are called the truths of faith; for these belong to that kingdom. When this is the situation in a person, everything within his natural is distributed and arranged in keeping with the things of that kingdom so as to be subservient and obedient. But when he has the natural kingdom, that is, the things that exist there, as his end in view, and makes that more important, he annihilates all love to the Lord and charity towards the neighbour, and all faith. Indeed he goes so far as to set no value at all on these things, but makes love of the world and self-love, and the things which go with these, all important. When this is the case everything within his natural is arranged in keeping with those ends, and so is entirely at odds with the things of heaven. In this way he brings about hell within himself. Having something as the end in view consists in loving it, for every end exists as the object of a person's love because that which he loves he has as his end in view.
