خروج 23

Studie

   

1 لا تقبل خبرا كاذبا. ولا تضع يدك مع المنافق لتكون شاهد ظلم.

2 لا تتبع الكثيرين الى فعل الشر. ولا تجب في دعوى مائلا وراء الكثيرين للتحريف.

3 ولا تحاب مع المسكين في دعواه.

4 اذا صادفت ثور عدوك او حماره شاردا ترده اليه.

5 اذا رأيت حمار مبغضك واقعا تحت حمله وعدلت عن حلّه فلا بد ان تحل معه.

6 لا تحرّف حق فقيرك في دعواه.

7 ابتعد عن كلام الكذب. ولا تقتل البريء والبار. لاني لا أبرّر المذنب.

8 ولا تأخذ رشوة. لان الرشوة تعمي المبصرين وتعوّج كلام الابرار.

9 ولا تضايق الغريب فانكم عارفون نفس الغريب. لانكم كنتم غرباء في ارض مصر.

10 وست سنين تزرع ارضك وتجمع غلتها.

11 واما في السابعة فتريحها وتتركها ليأكل فقراء شعبك. وفضلتهم تاكلها وحوش البرية. كذلك تفعل بكرمك وزيتونك.

12 ستة ايام تعمل عملك. واما اليوم السابع ففيه تستريح لكي يستريح ثورك وحمارك ويتنفس ابن امتك والغريب.

13 وكل ما قلت لكم احتفظوا به. ولا تذكروا اسم آلهة اخرى ولا يسمع من فمك

14 ثلاث مرات تعيّد لي في السنة.

15 تحفظ عيد الفطير. تاكل فطيرا سبعة ايام كما امرتك في وقت شهر ابيب. لانه فيه خرجت من مصر. ولا يظهروا امامي فارغين.

16 وعيد الحصاد ابكار غلاتك التي تزرع في الحقل. وعيد الجمع في نهاية السنة عندما تجمع غلاتك من الحقل.

17 ثلاث مرات في السنة يظهر جميع ذكورك امام السيد الرب.

18 لا تذبح على خمير دم ذبيحتي. ولا يبيت شحم عيدي الى الغد.

19 اول ابكار ارضك تحضره الى بيت الرب الهك. لا تطبخ جديا بلبن امه

20 ها انا مرسل ملاكا امام وجهك ليحفظك في الطريق وليجيء بك الى المكان الذي اعددته.

21 احترز منه واسمع لصوته ولا تتمرد عليه. لانه لا يصفح عن ذنوبكم لان اسمي فيه.

22 ولكن ان سمعت لصوته وفعلت كل ما اتكلم به اعادي اعداءك واضايق مضايقيك.

23 فان ملاكي يسير امامك ويجيء بك الى الاموريين والحثّيين والفرزّيين والكنعانيين والحوّيين واليبوسيين. فابيدهم.

24 لا تسجد لآلهتهم ولا تعبدها ولا تعمل كاعمالهم. بل تبيدهم وتكسر انصابهم.

25 وتعبدون الرب الهكم. فيبارك خبزك وماءك وأزيل المرض من بينكم.

26 لا تكون مسقطة ولا عاقر في ارضك. واكمّل عدد ايامك.

27 ارسل هيبتي امامك وازعج جميع الشعوب الذين تاتي عليهم واعطيك جميع اعدائك مدبرين.

28 وأرسل امامك الزنابير. فتطرد الحوّيين والكنعانيين والحثّيين من امامك.

29 لا اطردهم من امامك في سنة واحدة لئلا تصير الارض خربة فتكثر عليك وحوش البرية.

30 قليلا قليلا اطردهم من امامك الى ان تثمر وتملك الارض.

31 واجعل تخومك من بحر سوف الى بحر فلسطين ومن البرية الى النهر. فاني ادفع الى ايديكم سكان الارض فتطردهم من امامك.

32 لا تقطع معهم ولا مع آلهتهم عهدا.

33 لا يسكنوا في ارضك لئلا يجعلوك تخطئ اليّ. اذا عبدت آلهتهم فانه يكون لك فخا

9297. Three times in the year shall every male of thine appear before the faces of the Lord Jehovah. That this signifies the continual appearance and presence of the Lord, therefore also His appearance and presence in the truths of faith, is evident from the signification of “three times in the year,” as being what is complete and continual (see n. 4495, 9198); from the signification of “to be seen,” as being appearance and presence (n. 4198, 5975, 6893); from the signification of “a male,” as being the truth of faith (n. 2046, 7838); and from the signification of “the faces,” when said of Jehovah, that is, of the Lord, as being the Divine good of the Divine love, or mercy (n. 222, 223, 5585, 7599); and as the Divine good of the Divine love is Jehovah Himself, that is, the Lord, therefore by “appearing before the faces of the Lord Jehovah” the same is signified as by being seen by the Lord. Moreover, it is the Lord who sees man, and makes Himself present with him, and gives to the man to see Him. Thus man does not see the Lord from himself, but from the Lord with himself.

[2] How it is to be understood that there is also a continual appearance and presence of the Lord in the truths of faith, shall be briefly told. The presence of the Lord with a man is in the good in him, because good makes his life; but not truth, except insofar as it is from good. From this it is that (as before said, n. 9296) the dwelling place of the Lord with a man is in the good of innocence; and therefore when a man has been regenerated, the Lord is present with him not only in good, but also in truths which are from good; for the truths then have life from good, and are the good in a form, by means of which the quality of the good can be perceived. These are the truths that make the new understanding of the man, which makes a one with his new will. For, as before said, all things bear relation to truth and to good, and the understanding of man is allotted to truths, but the will to the good from which are the truths. From this it is evident how it is to be understood that the appearance and presence of the Lord are then also in the truths of faith. These are the things which are signified by “three times in the year shall every male appear before the faces of the Lord Jehovah.” It is said that “the male” shall appear, because by a “male” is signified the truth of faith; and therefore it is said “before the faces of the Lord Jehovah,” for the reason that by “Jehovah” is signified the Divine being, and by “Lord” the Divine coming-forth from being; consequently the being in man is good, and the coming-forth from this truth.

[3] It is said in the church that faith is from the Lord; but be it known that the faith which is from charity is from the Lord, but not the faith which is separate from charity; for this latter faith is from man’s own, and is called “persuasive faith” (of which i (9363-9369) n the Doctrine of Charity and Faith before the next chapter). A man is able to know whether the faith in him is from the Lord or from himself; one who is affected by truths merely for the sake of a reputation for learning, in order that he may gain honors and wealth, and not for the sake of the good use of life, is in persuasive faith, which is from himself, and not from the Lord.

[4] In the truth of faith there are theoretical matters and practical ones; and he who regards the theoretical for the sake of the practical, and who sees the former in the latter, and who thus from both conjoined regards the good use of life, and is affected by both for the sake of this end, is in faith from the Lord. The reason is that the use of life, being the end, with him is good, and all things are formed according to the use of life; and the truths of faith are that by which the formation is effected. That this is so, is very manifest from those who are in the other life. All there, without exception, are reduced to the state of their good, or to the state of their evil, and thus to the use of their life, which had been their end, that is, which they had loved above all things, and which consequently had been the very delight of their life. All are reduced to this. The truths or falsities which had made a one with this use, remain, and more besides are adopted which conjoin themselves with the former, and complete the use, and cause the use to appear in its own real form. From this it is that spirits and angels are forms of their use; evil spirits forms of evil use, and these are in hell; good spirits or angels forms of good use, and these are in heaven. From this also it is that the quality of spirits is known the moment they are present; their truths of faith are known from their faces and the beauty of these in respect to their form; and the good itself, which is the use, from the fire of love therein which gives life to the beauty; and also from the sphere which surges from them. From all this it is again evident what is the presence of the Lord in the truths of faith.

Exodus 23

Studie

   

1 "You shall not spread a false report. Don't join your hand with the wicked to be a malicious witness.

2 "You shall not follow a crowd to do evil; neither shall you testify in court to side with a multitude to pervert justice;

3 neither shall you favor a poor man in his cause.

4 "If you meet your enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.

5 If you see the donkey of him who hates you fallen down under his burden, don't leave him, you shall surely help him with it.

6 "You shall not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits.

7 "Keep far from a false charge, and don't kill the innocent and righteous: for I will not justify the wicked.

8 "You shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds those who have sight and perverts the words of the righteous.

9 "You shall not oppress an alien, for you know the heart of an alien, since you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

10 "For six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in its increase,

11 but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the animal of the field shall eat. In the same way, you shall deal with your vineyard and with your olive grove.

12 "Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your handmaid, and the alien may be refreshed.

13 "Be careful to do all things that I have said to you; and don't invoke the name of other gods, neither let them be heard out of your mouth.

14 "You shall observe a feast to me three times a year.

15 You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it you came out from Egypt), and no one shall appear before me empty.

16 And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you sow in the field: and the feast of harvest, at the end of the year, when you gather in your labors out of the field.

17 Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord Yahweh.

18 "You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread, neither shall the fat of my feast remain all night until the morning.

19 The first of the first fruits of your ground you shall bring into the house of Yahweh your God. "You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.

20 "Behold, I send an angel before you, to keep you by the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.

21 Pay attention to him, and listen to his voice. Don't provoke him, for he will not pardon your disobedience, for my name is in him.

22 But if you indeed listen to his voice, and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.

23 For my angel shall go before you, and bring you in to the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I will cut them off.

24 You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor follow their practices, but you shall utterly overthrow them and demolish their pillars.

25 You shall serve Yahweh your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from your midst.

26 No one will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will fulfill the number of your days.

27 I will send my terror before you, and will confuse all the people to whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.

28 I will send the hornet before you, which will drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before you.

29 I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the animals of the field multiply against you.

30 Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased and inherit the land.

31 I will set your border from the Red Sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.

32 You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

33 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me, for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you."
