Deuteronomium 22

Studie

   

1 Jestliže bys uzřel vola aneb dobytče bratra svého, an bloudí, nepomineš jich, ale přivedeš je až k bratru svému.

2 Byť pak nebyl blízký bratr tvůj a neznal bys ho, uvedeš je však do domu svého, a bude u tebe, dokudž by se po něm neptal bratr tvůj, a navrátíš mu je.

3 Tolikéž učiníš s oslem jeho, s oděvem jeho, také i se všelikou věcí ztracenou bratra svého, kteráž by mu zhynula; když bys ji nalezl, nepomineš jí.

4 Vida osla bratra svého aneb vola jeho pod břemenem ležící na cestě, nepomineš jich, ale i hned ho s ním pozdvihneš.

5 Žena nebude nositi oděvu mužského, aniž se obláčeti bude muž v roucho ženské, nebo ohavnost před Hospodinem Bohem tvým jest, kdožkoli činí to.

6 Když bys našel hnízdo ptačí před sebou na cestě, na jakémkoli stromu aneb na zemi, s mladými neb vejci, a matka seděla by na mladých aneb na vejcích: nevezmeš matky s mladými,

7 Ale hned pustíš matku a mladé vezmeš sobě, aby tobě dobře bylo, a abys prodlil dnů svých.

8 Když bys stavěl dům nový, udělej zabradla vůkol střechy své, abys neuvedl viny krve na dům svůj, když by kdo upadl s něho.

9 Neposeješ vinice své směsicí rozličného semene, aby nebyl poškvrněn užitek semene, kteréž jsi vsel, i ovoce vinice.

10 Nebudeš orati volem a oslem spolu.

11 Neoblečeš roucha z rozdílných věcí, z vlny a lnu setkaného.

12 Prýmy zděláš sobě na čtyřech rozích oděvu svého, jímž se odíváš.

13 Když by pojal někdo ženu, a všel by k ní, a potom měl by ji v nenávisti,

14 A dal by příčinu k řečem o ní, v zlou pověst ji obláčeje a mluvě: Ženu tuto vzal jsem, a všed k ní, nenalezl jsem jí pannou:

15 Tedy otec děvečky a matka její vezmouce přinesou znamení panenství děvečky k starším města svého k bráně.

16 A dí otec děvečky k starším: Dceru svou dal jsem muži tomuto za manželku, kterýž ji v nenávisti má.

17 A hle, sám příčinu dal řečem o ní, mluvě: Nenalezl jsem při dceři tvé panenství, a teď hle, znamení panenství dcery mé. I roztáhnou roucho to před staršími města.

18 Tedy starší města toho jmou muže a trestati ho budou,

19 A uloží jemu pokutu sto lotů stříbra, kteréž dají otci děvečky, proto že vynesl zlou pověst proti panně Izraelské. I bude ji míti za manželku, kteréž nebude moci propustiti po všecky dny své.

20 Jináč byla-li by pravá žaloba ta, a nebylo by nalezeno panenství při děvečce:

21 Tedy vyvedou děvečku ke dveřím otce jejího, a uházejí ji lidé města toho kamením, a umře; nebo dopustila se nešlechetnosti v Izraeli, smilnivši v domě otce svého. Tak odejmeš zlé z prostředku sebe.

22 Kdyby kdo postižen byl, že obýval s ženou manželkou cizí, tedy umrou oni oba dva, muž, kterýž obýval s tou ženou, i žena také; i odejmeš zlé z Izraele.

23 Byla-li by děvečka panna zasnoubená muži, a nalezna ji někdo v městě, obýval by s ní:

24 Vyvedete oba dva k bráně města toho, a uházíte je kamením, a umrou, děvečka, proto že nekřičela, jsuci v městě, a muž proto, že ponížil ženy bližního svého; a odejmeš zlé z prostředku svého.

25 Pakli na poli nalezl by muž děvečku zasnoubenou, a násilí jí učině, obýval by s ní: smrtí umře muž ten sám,

26 Děvečce pak nic neučiníš. Nedopustila se hříchu hodného smrti; nebo jakož povstává někdo proti bližnímu svému a morduje život jeho, tak i při této věci.

27 Na poli zajisté nalezl ji; křičela děvečka zasnoubená, a žádný tu nebyl, kdo by ji vysvobodil.

28 Jestliže by nalezl někdo děvečku pannu, kteráž by zasnoubena nebyla, a vezma ji, obýval by s ní, a byli by postiženi:

29 Tedy dá muž ten, kterýž by obýval s ní, otci děvečky padesáte stříbrných, a bude jeho manželka, protože ponížil jí; nebude moci jí propustiti po všecky dny své.

30 Nevezme žádný manželky otce svého, a neodkryje podolka otce svého.

9274. 'And in the seventh you shall let it rest, and let it lie fallow' means the second state, when the member of the Church is governed by good, and so enjoys peace and serenity. This is clear from the meaning of 'the seventh year' or 'the sabbath' as the time when a person is governed by good and is led by the Lord through good, dealt with in 8495, 8510, 8890, 8893; from the meaning of 'letting the land rest', or not sowing it, as not being led by truths as before; and from the meaning of 'letting it lie fallow' as enjoying peace and serenity. Also, the sabbath was representative of a state of peace in which [goodness and truth] are joined together, see 8494; for letting the land rest and lie fallow represented the rest, serenity, and peace enjoyed by those who are governed by good received from the Lord. Regarding the two states of a person who is being regenerated and coming to have the Church within him, the first being a time when he is led by the truths of faith towards the good of charity, and the second being a time when he is governed by the good of charity, see 7923, 7992, 8505, 8506, 8512, 8513, 8516, 8539, 8643, 8648, 8658, 8685, 8690, 8701, 8772, 9139, 9224, 9227, 9230.

[2] These two states of a person who is being regenerated and coming to have the Church within him have not been known up to now, the chief reason for this being that members of the Church have not drawn a clear distinction between truth and good, nor therefore between faith and charity. Another reason is that they have had no clear idea of the two powers of mind a person has - the understanding and the will - nor any clear idea that the function of the understanding is to see truths and forms of good, and that of the will to be stirred by affection for them and to love them. Consequently it was not possible for them to know that the first state of a person who is being regenerated consists in learning truths and seeing them, and the second state in willing and loving them, and that a person has made them his own only when he desires and loves those he has learned and seen. For the will is the person's true self, and the understanding is its servant. Had people known these things they could then have known and come to see clearly that a person who is being regenerated is endowed by the Lord with both a new understanding and a new will, and that unless he is endowed with both he is not a new person; for understanding is no more than the seeing of things that a person desires and loves, and so is simply a servant, as has been stated. And if people had known this they could consequently have known that the first state of a person who is being regenerated consists in being led by means of truths towards good, and the second state in being led by means of good. They could have known that in this second state order is turned around, that the person is now led by the Lord, and that therefore the person is now in heaven and so enjoys peace and serenity.

[3] This state is what is meant by the seventh day, by the seventh year, and also by a jubilee - which are the sabbath, and the sabbath of sabbaths - and by the land's resting in those years, in keeping with the following in Moses,

Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in its produce; but in the seventh year there shall be a sabbath of sabbaths for the land, a sabbath to Jehovah. You shall not sow your field, and you shall not prune your vineyard. What grows of its own accord of your harvest you shall not reap. Leviticus 25:3-5.

And in reference to a jubilee,

In the year of a jubilee you shall not sow, nor shall you reap what grows of its own accord, nor shall you harvest the unattended 1 vines. Leviticus 25:11, 12.

The person who does not know anything about those two states cannot know either about very many things contained in the Word; for in the Word, especially the prophetical part, the first state is depicted clearly and so is the second. Indeed that person cannot understand the internal sense of the Word, nor even much that is contained in its literal sense, such as the following predictions by the Lord regarding the final period of the Church at the present day, which is there called 'the close of the age', in Matthew,

Then let those who are in Judea flee into the mountains; let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house; and let him who is in the field not return to take his clothes. Matthew 24:16-18.

And in Luke,

On that day, whoever will be on the housetop with his vessels in the house, let him not come down to take them away; and whoever is in the field, let him likewise not return to the things behind him. Remember Lot's wife. Luke 17:31-32.

The second state is described in these places, together with a warning not to go back from it to the first, see 3650-3655, 5895 (end), 5897 (end), 8505, 8506, 8510, 8512, 8516.

[4] The fact that those states are distinct and separate from each other is also implied by the following words in Moses,

When you build 2 a new house you shall make a parapet for your roof. You shall not sow your vineyard and your field with mixed seed. You shall not plough with an ox and an ass together. You shall not wear a garment made of wool and flax mixed together. 3 Deuteronomy 22:8-11; Leviticus 19:19.

These laws serve to mean that anyone who is in the state of truth, that is, in the first state, cannot be in the state of good, that is, in the second state, nor vice versa, the reason being that one state is the inverse of the other. For in the first state a person looks from the world to heaven, but in the second from heaven to the world. In the first state truths come from the world by way of the understanding into the will, where they become forms of good because they are loved. But in the second state the forms of good so created come from heaven by way of the will into the understanding, where they appear in the form of faith. This faith is saving faith, because it comes out of the good of love, that is, comes from the Lord by way of the good of love; for this faith is charity in outward form.
