出埃及记 21

Studie

   

1 你在百姓面前所要立的典章是这样:

2 你若买希伯来人作奴仆,他必服事你年;第七年他可以自由,白白的出去。

3 他若孤身就可以孤身去;他若有妻,他的妻就可以同他出去。

4 人若妻子妻子他生了儿子女儿妻子和儿女要归人,他要独自出去。

5 倘或奴仆明:我我的人和我的妻子儿女,不愿意自由出去。

6 他的人就要带他到审判官(审判官或作:;下同)那里,又要带他到前,靠框,用锥子穿他的耳朵,他就永远服事人。

7 女儿作婢女,婢女不可像仆那样出去。

8 人选定他归自己,若不喜欢他,就要许他赎身;人既然用诡诈待他,就没有权柄给外邦人。

9 主人若选定他给自己的儿子,就当待他如同女儿

10 若另娶一个,那女子的吃食、衣服,并好合的事,仍不可减少。

11 若不向他行这样,他就可以不用赎,白白的出去。

12 以致打的,必要把他治

13 人若不是埋伏着杀人,乃是交在他中,我就设下一个地方,他可以往那里逃跑

14 若任意用诡计杀了他的邻舍,就是逃到我的那里,也当捉去把他治

15 打父母的,必要把他治

16 拐带口,或是把了,或是留在他下,必要把他治

17 咒骂父母的,必要把他治

18 若彼此相争,这个用石头或是拳头打那个,尚且不至於,不过躺卧在

19 若再能起来扶杖而出,那打他的可算无罪;但要将他耽误的工夫用钱赔补,并要将他全然医好。

20 若用棍子打奴仆或婢女,立时在他的,他必要受刑。

21 若过一两才死,就可以不受刑,因为是用买的。

22 人若彼此争斗,伤害有孕的妇人,甚至坠胎,随後却无别害,那伤害他的,总要按妇人的丈夫所要的,照审判官所断的,受罚。

23 若有别害,就要以命偿命,

24 以眼还眼,以,以,以

25 以烙还烙,以伤还伤,以打还打。

26 若打坏了他奴仆或是婢女的一只眼,就要因他的眼放他去得以自由。

27 若打掉了他奴仆或是婢女的一个,就要因他的放他去得以自由。

28 牛若触男人或是女人,总要用石头打那牛,却不可他的;牛的主可算无罪。

29 倘若那牛素来是触的,有报告了牛主,他竟不把牛拴着,以致把男人或是女人,就要用石头打那牛,牛主也必治

30 若罚他赎命的价银,他必照所罚的赎他的命。

31 牛无论触了人的儿子或是女儿,必照这例办理。

32 牛若触了奴仆或是婢女,必将三十舍客勒他们的人,也要用石头把牛打死。

33 若敞着井口,或井不遮盖,有牛或掉在里头,

34 井主要拿赔还本主人,牲畜要归自己。

35 的牛若伤了那的牛,以至於,他们要了活牛,平分价值,也要平分牛。

36 人若知道这牛素来是触人的,主人竟不把牛拴着,他必要以牛还牛,牛要归自己。

8998. 'He shall have no power to sell her to a foreign people' means that it must not pass to those who are not of the Church's faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'the foreigner' as those outside the Church, thus those who are not of the Church's faith, dealt with in 2049, 2115, 7996; and from the meaning of 'selling' as alienating, dealt with immediately above in 8997. The implications of this are that those born within the Church and imbued since early childhood with the fundamental truths taught by the Church ought not to enter into marriages with those who are outside the Church and have therefore been imbued with ideas such as are not the Church's. The reason why is that they are in no way joined to one another in the spiritual world; for in that world everyone's association with others is determined by his good and from this by his truth. And since such are in no way joined together in the spiritual world, they ought not to be on earth; for essentially a marriage consists of one human mind and inclination joined to another's, which derive spiritual life from the truths and forms of the good of faith and charity. Therefore also in heaven marriages on earth between people of different religions are thought to be detestable, and especially those between members of the Church and people outside the Church. This also was the reason why the Jewish and Israelite nation was forbidden to contract marriages with the nations [in Canaan], Deuteronomy 7:3-4, and why fornicating with them was utterly detestable, Numbers 25:1-9.

[2] This is made even more plainly evident by the origin of conjugial love; that is, it springs from the marriage of goodness and truth, 2727-2759. Descending from this marriage, conjugial love is heaven itself within someone. But this is destroyed when the hearts and faith of two married to each other are not alike. This then is the reason why a female slave from among the daughters of Israel, that is, from the Church, was not to be sold to a foreign people, that is, to those outside the Church. For the latter would then betroth her, that is, be joined to her, and in so doing would profane things of the Church, which explains why doing such a thing to her is called 'acting treacherously'.
