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。

8983. 'The woman and her children shall be her master's' means that the good attached by the spiritual to truth, and the truths and the forms of good derived from that good, must not be assigned to truth as its own. This is clear from the meaning of 'the woman' as spiritual good attached to truth during conflict, dealt with above in 8981; from the meaning of 'the children' as derived truths and forms of good, dealt with immediately above in 8982; and from the meaning of 'shall be her master's' as that they must belong to the spiritual from which they spring, and not to truth. For 'the master' is the spiritual, 8981, and 'the slave' is truth without complementary good, 8974, which is why those things must not be assigned to this truth. 'Man and woman' in the internal sense means good and truth joined together; for marriage on earth represents the heavenly marriage, which is that of good and truth, and also conjugial love corresponds to this marriage, 2727-2759, 2803.

[2] But between a slave and a woman provided by his master there is no marriage, only a coupling together like that of man and concubine; and this coupling does not correspond to the heavenly marriage. Therefore also it is dissolved when the slave goes out; for then the woman and children become the master's. The reason why their relationship is only a coupling is that the truth represented by 'the slave' exists in the external man, while the good represented by 'the woman' exists in the internal man; and the good belonging to the internal man cannot be joined to the truth belonging to the external man unless a joining together has taken place first in the internal man. Till then they cannot be joined together because the slave represents the merely external man, which does not possess compatible good and cannot have such assigned to it. What has been stated about human regeneration in 3321, 3469, 3493, 3573, 3616, 3882, 4353, shows how impossible it is for the good of the internal man to be joined to the truth of the external man unless a joining together has taken place first in the internal man; for regeneration involves the joining together of goodness and truth.
