Izlazak 20

Studie

   

1 Onda Bog izgovori sve ove riječi:

2 "Ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj, koji sam te izveo iz zemlje egipatske, iz kuće ropstva.

3 Nemoj imati drugih bogova uz mene.

4 Ne pravi sebi lika ni obličja bilo čega što je gore na nebu, ili dolje na zemlji, ili u vodama pod zemljom.

5 Ne klanjaj im se niti im služi. Jer ja, Jahve, Bog tvoj, Bog sam ljubomoran. Kažnjavam grijeh otaca - onih koji me mrze - na djeci do trećeg i četvrtog koljena,

6 a iskazujem milosrđe tisućama koji me ljube i vrše moje zapovijedi.

7 Ne uzimaj uzalud imena Jahve, Boga svoga, jer Jahve ne oprašta onome koji uzalud izgovara ime njegovo.

8 Sjeti se da svetkuješ dan subotni.

9 Šest dana radi i obavljaj sav svoj posao.

10 A sedmoga je dana subota, počinak posvećen Jahvi, Bogu tvojemu. Tada nikakva posla nemoj raditi: ni ti, ni sin tvoj, ni kći tvoja, ni sluga tvoj, ni sluškinja tvoja, ni živina tvoja, niti došljak koji se nađe unutar tvojih vrata.

11 Ta i Jahve je šest dana stvarao nebo, zemlju i more i sve što je u njima, a sedmoga je dana počinuo. Stoga je Jahve blagoslovio i posvetio dan subotni.

12 Poštuj oca svoga i majku svoju da imadneš dug život na zemlji koju ti da Jahve, Bog tvoj.

13 Ne ubij!

14 Ne učini preljuba!

15 Ne ukradi!

16 Ne svjedoči lažno na bližnjega svoga!

17 Ne poželi kuće bližnjega svoga! Ne poželi žene bližnjega svoga; ni sluge njegova, ni sluškinje njegove, ni vola njegova, ni magarca njegova, niti išta što je bližnjega tvoga!"

18 Sav je puk bio svjedok grmljavine i sijevanja, svi čuše zvuk trube i vidješe kako se brdo dimi: gledali su i tresli se i stajali podalje.

19 Onda rekoše Mojsiju: "Ti nam govori, a mi ćemo slušati. Neka nam Bog ne govori, da ne pomremo!"

20 "Ne bojte se", reče Mojsije narodu. "Bog je došao da vas samo iskuša; da strah pred njim ostane s vama te da ne griješite."

21 Narod ostane podalje, a Mojsije pristupi gustom oblaku gdje se Bog nalazio.

22 "Ovako reci Izraelcima", progovori Jahve Mojsiju. "Sami ste vidjeli da sam s vama govorio s neba.

23 Ne pravite uza me kumira od srebra niti sebi pravite kumira od zlata.

24 Načini mi žrtvenik od zemlje i na njemu mi prinosi svoje žrtve paljenice i žrtve pričesnice, svoju sitnu i svoju krupnu stoku. Na svakome mjestu koje odredim da se moje ime spominje ja ću doći k tebi da te blagoslovim.

25 Ako mi budeš gradio kameni žrtvenik, nemoj ga graditi od klesanoga kamena, jer čim na nj spustiš svoje dlijeto, oskvrnit ćeš ga.

26 Ne uzlazi na moj žrtvenik po stepenicama, da se ne pokaže na njemu golotinja tvoja."

8911. The things that have been stated so far show what the situation is with a person and his life. That is to say, they show that a person is such as his will is, and that he remains such after death since death is not the end to life but the continuation of it. Since therefore a person is such as his will is - because, as has been stated above, the will is the real person - being judged according to one's deeds means being judged according to one's will, since there is no disparity between will and deed. Though external restraints exist - fear of the law, and fear of the loss of position, gain, reputation, or life - to inhibit the deed, the deed is all along in the will, and the will all along in the deed. It is like endeavour and motion. Motion is nothing other than an extension of the endeavour; for as endeavour comes to an end, so does motion. Therefore there is nothing essential within motion apart from endeavour. Learned people know this, for it is a recognized and well-established idea. In the human being endeavour is the will and motion is action; and they are called such in the human being because in him endeavour and motion are living. Being judged according to one's will is the same as being judged according to one's love; it is also the same as being judged according to the ends one has in view in life, as well as being judged according to the way one lives. For a person's will is his love, it is the end he has in view in life, and it is the very life itself within him. The truth of this is clear from the Lord's words which have already been quoted - One who looks at a woman 1 in such a way that he lusts after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Matthew 5:27-28. It is clear also from His saying that killing someone is not only performing that deed but also the desire to perform it, which is meant by being angry and reviling him with insults, Matthew 5:21-22. Furthermore a person is indeed judged according to his deeds; yet no further questions are asked than these - How far did those deeds spring from his will? and What nature did his will give them?
