Tredje Mosebog 19

Studie

   

1 HE EN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

2 Tal til hele Israeliternes Menighed og sig til dem: I skal være hellige, thi jeg HE EN eders Gud er hellig!

3 I skal frygte hver sin Moder og sin Fader, og mine Sabbater skal I holde. Jeg er HE EN eders Gud!

4 Vend eder ikke til Afguderne og gør eder ikke støbte Gudebilleder! Jeg er HE EN eders Gud !

5 Når I ofrer Takoffer til HE EN, skal I ofre det således, at I kan vinde Guds Velbehag.

6 Den Dag, I ofrer det, og Dagen efter må det spises, men hvad der levnes til den tredje Dag, skal opbrændes;

7 spises det den tredje Dag, er det at regne for råddent Kød og vinder ikke Guds Velbehag;

8 den, der spiser deraf, skal undgælde for sin Brøde, thi han vanhelliger det, som var helliget HE EN, og det Menneske skal udryddes af sin Slægt.

9 Når I høster eders Lands Høst, må du ikke høste helt hen til Kanten af din Mark, ej heller må du sanke Efterslætten efter din Høst.

10 Heller ikke må du bolde Efterhøst eller sanke de nedfaldne Bær i din Vingård; til den fattige og den fremmede skal du lade det blive tilbage. Jeg er HE EN eders Gud!

11 I må ikke stjæle, I må ikke lyve, I må ikke bedrage hverandre.

12 I må ikke sværge falsk ved mit Navn, så du vanhelliger din Guds Navn. Jeg er HE EN!

13 Du må intet aftvinge din Næste, du må intet røve; Daglejerens Løn må ikke blive hos dig Natten over.

14 Du må ikke forbande den døve eller lægge Stød for den blindes Fod, du skal frygte din Gud. Jeg er HE EN!

15 I må ikke øve Uret, når I holder ettergang; du må ikke begunstige den ringe, ej heller tage Parti for den store, men du skal dømme din Næste med etfærdighed.

16 Du må ikke gå rundt og bagvaske din Landsmand eller stå din Næste efter Livet. Jeg er HE EN!

17 Du må ikke bære Nag til din Broder i dit Hjerte, men du skal tale din Næste til ette, at du ikke skal pådrage dig Synd for hans Skyld.

18 Du må ikke hævne dig eller gemme på Vrede mod dit Folks Børn, du skal elske din Næste som dig selv. Jeg er HE EN!

19 Hold mine Anordninger! Du må ikke lade to Slags Kvæg parre sig med hinanden; du må ikke så to Slags Sæd i din Mark; og du må ikke bære Klæder, der er vævede af to Slags Garn.

20 Når en Mand har Samleje med en Kvinde, og det er en Trælkvinde, en anden Mands Medhustru, som ikke er løskøbt eller frigivet, så skal Afstraffelse finde Sted; dog skal de ikke lide Døden, thi hun var ikke frigivet.

21 Og han skal bringe sit Skyldoffer for HE EN til Åbenbaringsteltets Indgang, en Skyldoffervæder,

22 og Præsten skal med Skyldoffervæderen skaffe ham Soning for HE ENs Åsyn for den Synd, han har begået, så han finder Tilgivelse for den Synd, han har begået.

23 Når I kommer ind i Landet og planter alskens Frugttræer, skal I lade deres Forhud, den første Frugt, urørt; i tre År skal de være eder uomskårne og må ikke spises;

24 det fjerde År skal al deres Frugt under Høstjubel helliges HE EN;

25 først det femte År må I spise deres Frugt, for at I kan få så meget større Udbytte deraf. Jeg er HE EN eders Gud!

26 I må ikke spise noget med Blodet i. I må ikke give eder af med at tage Varsler og øve Trolddom.

27 I må ikke runde Håret på Tindingerne; og du må ikke studse dit Skæg;

28 I må ikke gøre Indsnit i eders Legeme for de dødes Skyld eller indridse Tegn på eder. Jeg er HE EN!

29 Du må ikke vanhellige din Datter ved at lade hende bedrive Hor, for at ikke Landet skal forfalde til Horeri og fyldes med Utugt.

30 Mine Sabbater skal I bolde, og min Helligdom skal I frygte. Jeg er HE EN!

31 Henvend eder ikke til Genfærd og Sandsigerånder; søg dem ikke, så I gør eder urene ved dem. Jeg er HE EN eders Gud!

32 Du skal rejse dig for de grå Hår og ære Oldingen, og du skal frygte din Gud. Jeg er HE EN!

33 Når en fremmed bor hos dig i eders Land, må I ikke lade ham lide Overlast;

34 som en af eders egne skal I regne den fremmede, der bor hos eder, og du1 skal elske ham som dig selv, thi I var selv fremmede i Ægypten. Jeg et HE EN eders Guld!

35 Når I holder ettergang, må I ikke øve Uret ved Længdemål, Vægt eller ummål;

36 Vægtskåle, der vejer rigtigt, Lodder, der holder Vægt, Efa og Hin, der holder Mål, skal I have. Jeg er HE EN eders Gud, som førte eder ud af Ægypten!

37 Hold alle mine Anordninger og Lovbud og gør efter dem. Jeg er HE EN!

9857. 'And you shall make a breastplate of judgement' means that which has regard to Divine Truth shining forth from Divine Good. This is clear from the meaning of 'a breastplate' as Divine Truth shining forth from the Lord's Divine Good within last and lowest things, dealt with in 9823. It is called 'a breastplate of judgement' because it gave answers, and through these Divine Truth was revealed; furthermore Divine Truth, and therefore doctrinal teachings and a life in accord with them, is meant in the Word by 'judgement'. This then is why this breastplate is referred to as 'the breastplate of judgement', and also further on in this chapter as 'the judgement', in verse 30 - 'Aaron shall carry the judgement of the children of Israel over his heart before Jehovah continually'. And when Joshua was chosen to be leader of the people, it says that he was to stand before Eleazar the priest, who would inquire for him by the judgement of the Urim before Jehovah, Numbers 27:21.

[2] 'Judgement' means Divine Truth and intelligence springing from It, as a consequence of which it means religious teachings and a life in accord with them. This is clear from a large number of places in the Word, such as the following: In Isaiah,

The vineyard of Jehovah Zebaoth is the house of Israel. He looked for judgement, but behold, festering; for righteousness, but behold, a cry. Isaiah 5:7.

'Looking for judgement' means intelligence springing from Divine Truth, and a life in accord with the commandments. In the same prophet,

On the throne there sat in truthfulness, in the tabernacle of David, one who judges and seeks judgement. Isaiah 16:5.

This refers to the Lord's Coming. 'The throne' on which He is going to sit means Divine Truth that emanates from Him, and consequently means the spiritual kingdom, see 2129, 5313, 6397, 8625, 9039. 'Judging judgement' means teaching Divine Truth, and 'seeking judgement' people's acceptance of it.

[3] In the same prophet,

On that day Jehovah will be a tiara of beauty for the remnant of His people, and a spirit of judgement to him who sits in judgement. Isaiah 28:5-6.

'A tiara of beauty', when these words have reference to Jehovah, that is, the Lord, means Divine Intelligence, see above in 9827; and 'a spirit of judgement' means wisdom that springs from Divine Truth, 9818. 'To him who sits in judgement' means one who informs people about or teaches Divine Truth. In the same prophet,

Jehovah has filled Zion with judgement and righteousness. Isaiah 33:5.

'Zion' stands for the celestial Church, 'being filled with judgement' for intelligence that springs from Divine Truth, and 'being filled with righteousness' for wisdom that comes from Divine Good.

[4] In the same prophet,

Who has directed the Spirit of Jehovah? With whom did He deliberate, that He might make Him intelligent, and instruct Him in the way of judgement, and teach Him knowledge, and show Him the way of intelligence? Isaiah 40:13-14.

'The Spirit of Jehovah' means Divine Truth, 9818. 'Instructing Him in the way of judgement' self-evidently means making him knowledgeable, intelligent, and wise. In Jeremiah,

The stork in the sky knows her appointed times, but Jehovah's people do not know the judgement of Jehovah. How can you say, We are wise, and the law of Jehovah is with us? Jeremiah 8:7-8.

'Not knowing the judgement of Jehovah' stands for ignorance of Divine Truth, the source of wisdom; and this is why it says, 'How can you say, We are wise?'

[5] In the same prophet,

Woe to him who builds his house without righteousness, and his upper rooms without judgement! Jeremiah 22:13.

'Building upper rooms without judgement' stands for absorbing ideas that are not true. In Hosea,

I will betroth you to Me forever in righteousness and in judgement, and I will betroth you to Me in truth. Hosea 2:19-20.

'Betrothing in judgement' stands for joining by means of Divine Truth, thus by means of faith and the life of faith. In Amos,

Let judgement flow like water, and righteousness like a mighty torrent. Amos 5:24.

In the same prophet,

You have turned judgement into poison and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood. Amos 6:12.

Here also 'judgement' stands for intelligence that springs from Divine Truth, and for a life based on this.

[6] In Zephaniah,

Jehovah in the morning will bring His judgement to light. Zephaniah 3:5.

'Bringing judgement to light' stands for revealing Divine Truth. In Moses,

All the ways of Jehovah are judgement. Deuteronomy 32:4.

In David,

O Jehovah, Your truth reaches up to the skies, Your righteousness is like the mountains of God, Your judgements [like] the great abyss. Psalms 36:5-6.

In the same author,

Jehovah will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgement as the noonday. Psalms 37:6.

In the same author,

Hear my voice according to Your mercy; O Jehovah, revive me according to Your judgements. Psalms 119:149.

In these places 'judgement' and 'judgements' stand for Divine Truth.

[7] In Luke,

Woe to you Pharisees! You pass by the judgement and the love of God. These you ought to have done. Luke 11:42.

'Passing by the judgement of God' stands for shunning Divine Truth, and 'passing by the love of God' for shunning Divine Good and a life inspired by them both. The fact that this life is also meant accounts for their being told, These you ought to have done. In Isaiah,

Jehovah Zebaoth will be exalted in judgement, and God will be made holy in righteousness. Isaiah 5:16.

In the same author,

... upon the throne of David to establish the kingdom in judgement and in righteousness, from now and even for evermore. Isaiah 9:7.

In the same author,

Give counsel, execute judgement, set your shade like the night in the middle of the day. Isaiah 16:3.

'Executing judgement' stands for acting in accordance with God's truth.

[8] In Jeremiah,

I will raise up for David a righteous branch, who will execute judgement and righteousness in the land. Jeremiah 23:5; 33:15.

In Ezekiel,

If a man has been righteous, one who has executed judgement and righteousness ... [if he] walks in My statutes, and keeps My judgements, to execute truth, he is righteous; he will surely live. Ezekiel 18:5, 9.

In Zephaniah,

Seek Jehovah, O all the meek of the earth, who have executed His judgement. Zephaniah 2:3.

'Executing God's judgement' stands for carrying out Divine Truth or acting in accord with it. In Isaiah,

I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth judgement to the nations. He will not quench nor will He break until He has set judgement on the earth. Isaiah 42:1, 4.

This refers to the Lord. 'Bringing forth judgement to the nations' and 'setting judgement on the earth' stand for teaching Divine Truth and establishing it in the Church.

[9] In the same prophet,

Law will go out from Me, and I will raise up My judgement to be the light of peoples. Isaiah 51:4.

'Judgement' stands for Divine Truth, 'to be the light of peoples' for to bring enlightenment. In John,

For judgement I came 1 into this world, that those who do not see may see, but those who see may become blind. John 9:39.

'Coming into the world for judgement' stands for coming to reveal Divine Truth, which gives people vision if the Lord is the source of their wisdom, but makes them blind if they themselves are the source of it and on account of this are reputed to be learned.

[10] In Jeremiah,

Swear by the living Jehovah, in truth, in judgement, and in righteousness. Jeremiah 4:2.

In the same prophet,

There is none judging judgement for healthiness; you have no restorative medicaments. Jeremiah 30:13.

In David,

Righteousness and judgement are the support of Your throne; mercy and truth will stand firm before Your face. Psalms 89:14.

'Righteousness' stands for the good that belongs to mercy, and 'judgement' for the truth that belongs to faith, which is why the expression 'mercy and truth' is also used. In Ezekiel,

Jerusalem has changed My judgements into wickedness more than the nations, and My statutes more than the lands. Therefore I will execute in you [My] judgements in the eyes of the nations, and I will scatter all your remnant. Ezekiel 5:6-8, 10, 15.

'Changing judgements' stands for altering truths as they exist in the civic state, these truths being meant by 'judgements' when 'statutes' are also mentioned, see 8972. But 'executing judgements' means passing judgement that points to death, which is damnation, or to life, which is salvation. Salvation or damnation is also meant by 'judgement' when the expression 'day of judgement' or 'hour of judgement' is used, for example in Matthew 11:22, 24; 12:36, 41-42; Luke 10:14; 11:31-32; John 5:28-29; Revelation 14:7; 18:10. The same thing is also meant by 'judgement' when judgement-making is referred to, for example in Matthew 5:21-22; 7:1-2; 23:14, 33; John 5:24, 26-27; 7:24; 8:15-16; 12:31, 47-48; Luke 6:37; 12:13-14, 56-57; 19:21-22; 20:47; 22:30; Mark 12:40; Isaiah 3:14; 41:1; Jeremiah 25:31; 48:21; Joel 3:12; Psalms 7:7-8; 9:4, 7-8; Leviticus 19:15; Deuteronomy 1:16-17; 25:1; Revelation 17:1; 18:10; 20:12-13.
