出埃及記 20

Studie

   

1 吩咐這一切的

2 我是耶和華─你的,曾將你從埃及為奴之家領出來。

3 除了我以外,你不可有別的

4 不可為自己雕刻偶像,也不可做甚麼形像彷彿上,和中的百物。

5 不可跪拜那些像,也不可事奉他,因為我耶和華─你的是忌邪的。恨我的,我必追討他的罪,自父及子,直到四代;

6 我、守我誡命的,我必向他們發慈愛,直到代。

7 不可妄稱耶和華─你的名;因為妄稱耶和華名的,耶和華必不以他為無罪。

8 當記念安息日,守為日。

9 日要勞碌做你一切的工,

10 但第七日是向耶和華─你當守的安息日。這一日你和你的兒女、僕婢、牲畜,並你城裡寄居的客旅,無論何工都不可做;

11 因為日之內,耶和華,和其中的萬物,第七日便安息,所以耶和華賜福與安息日,定為日。

12 當孝敬父母,使你的日子在耶和華─你所賜你的地上得以長久。

13 不可殺人。

14 不可姦淫。

15 不可盜。

16 不可作假見證陷害人。

17 不可貪戀人的房屋;也不可貪戀人的妻子、僕婢、牛,並他一切所有的。

18 眾百姓見轟、閃電、角聲、上冒煙,就都發顫,遠遠的站立

19 摩西:求你和我們說話我們;不要我們說話,恐怕我們亡。

20 摩西對百姓:不要懼;因為降臨是要試驗你們,叫你們時常敬畏他,不致犯罪。

21 於是百姓遠遠地站立摩西就挨所在的幽暗之中。

22 耶和華摩西:你要向以色列人這樣:你們自己見我從上和你們話了。

23 你們不可做甚麼像與我相配,不可為自己做像。

24 你要為我築土,在上面以牛獻為燔祭和平安祭。凡記下我名的地方,我必到那裡賜福給你。

25 你若為我築一座,不可用鑿成的石頭,因你在上頭一動家具,就把污穢了。

26 你上我的,不可用臺階,免得露出你的下體來。

Steal

  

In a natural sense, the commandment 'Thou shalt not steal,' in Exodus 20:15, means, according to the letter, not stealing, robbing, or committing piracy in peace time, and in general, not secretly depriving anyone of his goods, or under any pretext. It also extends to all pretense, illegitimate gain, unreasonable loans, and extortion. It can also refer to tax, tariff or debt fraud. Workmen break this commandment in doing their work unfaithfully and dishonestly, as do merchants who deceive with their product, either in weight, measure, or accounting, officers depriving soldiers of wages, judges ruling for friends, bribes, relationship, affinity, and other ways of perverting the laws or legal cases, and so deprive others of their rightful possessions. In a spiritual sense, stealing means depriving others of the truths of their faith with falsity and heresy. Priests ministering only for the sake of gain, or worldly honor, and teach as they see fit or can see from the Word as untrue, are spiritual thieves, since they take the means of salvation, which are the truths of faith, away from people. In several passages of the Word, these priests are even called thieves. In a celestial sense, thieves mean people who take divine power away from the Lord, and claim His merit and righteousness themselves. These people may outwardly worship God, but still do not trust or even believe in Him, but only themselves.
