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。

8753. 'They came to the wilderness of Sinai' means, they entered a state of good in which the truths of faith were to be implanted. This is clear from the meaning of 'the wilderness of Sinai' as a state of good in which the truths of faith are to be implanted. Here 'wilderness' is good in which truths have not as yet been implanted, and 'Sinai' is actual truths. For 'wilderness' has a number of meanings, 3900, in general what is uninhabited and uncultivated, 2708, so that in the spiritual sense it means good which as yet has no truths in it; for good without truths is spiritually uncultivated. Consequently 'wilderness' means a new will which has not as yet been formed by means of the truths of faith, 8457.

[2] As regards 'Mount Sinai', in the highest sense it means Divine Truth emanating from Divine Good, Divine Good being meant by 'mountain' and Divine Truth by 'Sinai'. In the internal sense it means the truth of faith springing from good, in this instance the truth of faith that is to be implanted in good since the Law had not as yet been declared from there. The reason why 'Mount Sinai' has these meanings is that the Law was declared from there by the Lord, and the Law is Divine Truth emanating from Divine Good, and also is the truth of faith springing from good, 6752, 7463, 8695. This explains why the children of Israel encamped in the wilderness beside this mountain; for not only the Ten Commandments, which are the Law in a restricted sense, were declared from there, but also all the statutes of the Church, which, being representative, held within themselves the spiritual and celestial truths and forms of good of the Lord's kingdom. The fact that the Law was declared from that mountain is clear from Chapter Exodus 20 below; and the fact that the statutes of the Church were as well is clear from Exodus 21 and following chapters; and Leviticus 7:37-38; 27:34. 'Sinai' has the same meaning in David,

O God, when You went out before Your people, when You marched in the wilderness, the earth trembled; the heavens also dropped [rain] before God. This Sinai [trembled] before God. the God of Israel. You cause a rain of blessings to drop down, O God. Psalms 68:7-9.

Here 'Sinai' stands for truth which springs from good, for these are meant by 'the heavens dropped [rain] before God' and by 'God dropped a rain of blessings'.

[3] In the Book of Judges,

O Jehovah, when You went forth from Seir, when You set out from the field of the earth trembled, the heavens also dropped, the clouds indeed dropped water, the mountains flowed down before Jehovah, Sinai itself before Jehovah God of Israel. In the days of Shamgar, son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the roads ceased to be, and those who went along by pathways kept to twisting roads; the streets in Israel ceased to be. They ceased until I, Deborah, arose, until I arose a mother in Israel. Judges 5:4-7.

Here also 'Sinai' stands for the Law or Divine Truth emanating from Divine Good, from which the truths of faith were implanted in the good of faith, those truths also being meant by 'the heavens dropped, and the clouds dropped water'. A lack of the truths of faith and the perversion of them is meant by 'the roads ceased to be, and those who went along by pathways kept to twisting roads', truths being meant by 'roads' or 'ways', 'pathways', and 'streets', see 627, 2333, 3123, 3477. For the theme of this prophetic song, which is the Song of Deborah and Barak, is the perversion of the Church's truth and the renewal of it.

[4] In Moses,

Jehovah came from Sinai, He dawned from Seir upon them; He shone from Mount Paran, and came out of myriads of holiness. From His right hand came a fiery law for them. Deuteronomy 33:2.

Here the children of Jacob are blessed by Moses before his death. He begins the prophetic utterance in his blessing with Jehovah came from Sinai, and in this instance 'Sinai' means the truths of faith in their entirety. The reason why he begins with these words is that all the truths and forms of the good of faith are meant by 'the children of Jacob', 3858, 3862, 3926, 3939, 6335, and in a similar way by 'the children of Israel', 5414, 5951, 5879.
