申命记 24

Studie

   

1 若娶妻以後,见他有甚麽不合理的事,不喜悦他,就可以休书交在他中,打发他离开夫家。

2 离开夫家以後,可以去嫁别

3 後夫若恨恶他,休书交在他中,打发他离开夫家,或是娶他为妻的後夫死了

4 打发他去的前夫不可在妇人玷污之再娶他为妻,因为这是耶和华所憎恶的;不可使耶和华─你所赐为业之被玷污了。

5 “新娶妻之,不可从军出征,也不可托他办理什么公事,可以在家清闲年,

6 不可拿人的全盘磨石或是上磨石作当头,因为这是拿人的命作当头。

7 若遇见拐带以色列中的一个弟兄,当奴才待他,或是了他,那拐带的就必治。这样,便将那恶从你们中间除掉。

8 在大麻风的灾病上,你们要谨慎,照祭司利未人一切所指教你们的留意遵行。我怎样吩咐他们,你们要怎样遵行。

9 当记念出埃及後,在上,耶和华─你向米利暗所行的事。

10 给邻舍,不拘是甚麽,不可进他家拿他的当头。

11 要站在外面,等那向你贷的把当头拿出来交给你。

12 他若是穷,你不可留他的当头过夜。

13 日落的时候,总要把当头还他,使他用那件衣服盖着睡觉,他就为你祝福;这在耶和华─你面前就是你的了。

14 困苦穷乏的雇工,无论是你的弟兄或是在你城里寄居的,你不可欺负他。

15 要当日他工价,不可等到日落─因为他穷苦,把心放在工价上─恐怕他因你求告耶和华,罪便归你了。

16 不可因子杀父,也不可因父杀子;凡被杀的都为本身的罪。

17 你不可向寄居的和孤儿屈枉正直,也不可拿寡妇的衣裳作当头。

18 要记念你在埃及作过奴仆。耶和华─你的从那里将你救赎,所以我吩咐你这样行。

19 你在田间收割庄稼,若忘下一,不可回去再取,要留给寄居的与孤儿寡妇。这样,耶和华─你必在你里所办的一切事上赐福与你。

20 你打橄榄树,枝上剩下的,不可再打;要留给寄居的与孤儿寡妇。

21 你摘葡萄园的葡萄,所剩下的,不可再摘;要留给寄居的与孤儿寡妇。

22 你也要记念你在埃及作过奴仆,所以我吩咐你这样行。

9200. 'You shall not afflict' means that they are not to be defrauded of them. This is clear from the meaning of 'afflicting', when it has reference to those who wish to receive instruction in truths and to be led to good, as defrauding, in this instance as not defrauding them since it says 'you shall not afflict'. Various places in the Word mention these three together, the sojourner, the orphan, and the widow, for example in David,

Jehovah who guards the sojourner, [and upholds] the orphan and the widow. Psalms 146:7-9.

In Jeremiah,

Do not defraud the sojourner, the orphan, and the widow. Jeremiah 22:3.

In Ezekiel,

In you they have dealt with the sojourner by means of acts of oppression; in you they have defrauded the orphan and the widow. Ezekiel 22:6-7.

In Moses,

Do not turn aside the judgement of the sojourner, the orphan, and the widow. Deuteronomy 24:17; 27:19.

In the same author,

What remains in fields, olivegroves, and vineyards shall be for the sojourner, the orphan, and the widow. Deuteronomy 24:19-22; 26:12-13.

In the same author,

Jehovah executes judgement for the orphan and the widow, and loves the sojourner. Deuteronomy 10:18.

The three are similarly mentioned together in the present chapter,

A sojourner you shall not afflict and shall not oppress; any widow or orphan you shall not afflict.

When these three are mentioned together in this way they present for the angels a single meaning, namely that among people in the Church good and truth should be joined together as true order requires; that is, they should be joined in a reciprocal manner - truth to good, and good to truth. For the sojourner is used to mean those who wish to receive instruction in things of the Church, widows to mean good joined to truth, and orphans truth joined to good; that is, they are joined together in a reciprocal manner. It is similar with all other things mentioned in the Word. When the internal sense of those things is explained they seem to be diffuse; but with the angels they combine and present one entire meaning, indeed one complete idea.
