Deuteronomio 21

Studie

   

1 Se estos trovita mortigito sur la tero, kiun la Eternulo, via Dio, donas al vi kiel posedajxon, kusxanta sur la kampo, kaj oni ne scios, kiu lin mortigis:

2 tiam eliru viaj plejagxuloj kaj viaj jugxistoj, kaj ili mezuru gxis la urboj, kiuj trovigxas cxirkauxe de la mortigito.

3 Kaj kiu urbo estos plej proksime de la mortigito, ties plejagxuloj prenu bovidinon, per kiu oni ne laboris kaj kiu ne portis jugon;

4 kaj la plejagxuloj de tiu urbo forkonduku la bovidinon al valo kun fluanta akvo, valo, kiu ne estas plugita nek prisemita, kaj ili rompu tie la kolon de la bovidino en la valo;

5 kaj aliru la pastroj, idoj de Levi (cxar ilin elektis la Eternulo, via Dio, por servi al Li kaj por beni en la nomo de la Eternulo, kaj laux ilia diro devas esti decidata cxiu disputo kaj cxiu difekto);

6 kaj cxiuj plejagxuloj de tiu urbo, kiuj estos la plej proksimaj de la mortigito, lavu siajn manojn super la bovidino, al kiu oni rompis la kolon en la valo,

7 kaj ili sciigu kaj diru:Niaj manoj ne versxis cxi tiun sangon, kaj niaj okuloj ne vidis;

8 pekliberigu Vian popolon Izrael, kiun Vi liberigis, ho Eternulo, kaj ne kalkulu sangon senkulpan inter Via popolo Izrael. Kaj estos pardonita al ili la sango.

9 Kaj vi elvisxu el inter vi la sangon de senkulpulo, por ke vi faru placxantajxon antaux la Eternulo.

10 Kiam vi eliros en militon kontraux viajn malamikojn, kaj la Eternulo, via Dio, transdonos ilin en viajn manojn, kaj vi prenos de ili kaptitojn,

11 kaj vi vidos inter la kaptitoj virinon belaspektan kaj ekamos sxin kaj prenos sxin al vi kiel edzinon:

12 tiam venigu sxin internen de via domo, kaj sxi pritondu sian kapon kaj pritrancxu siajn ungojn,

13 kaj sxi deprenu de si siajn vestojn de kaptiteco, kaj sxi logxu en via domo, kaj sxi priploru sian patron kaj sian patrinon en la dauxro de unu monato; kaj post tio vi povas eniri al sxi kaj farigxi sxia edzo, kaj sxi estos por vi edzino.

14 Kaj se sxi ne placxos al vi, tiam forliberigu sxin, kien sxi volas; sed ne vendu sxin pro mono, ne premu sxin per via forto, pro tio, ke vi humiligis sxin.

15 Se viro havos du edzinojn, unu amatan kaj duan ne amatan, kaj ili naskos al li filojn, la amata kaj la ne amata, kaj la filo unuenaskita estos de la ne amata:

16 tiam cxe la disdono de sia havo al la filoj li ne povas doni unuaecon al la filo de la amata antaux la filo de la ne amata, la unuenaskito;

17 sed la unuenaskiton, la filon de la ne amata, li devas estkonfesi, por doni al li duoblan parton el cxio, kio trovigxas cxe li; cxar li estas la unua frukto de lia forto, li havas la rajton de unuenaskiteco.

18 Se iu havos filon obstinan kaj malobean, kiu ne auxskultas la vocxon de sia patro nek la vocxon de sia patrino, kaj ili punadis lin, sed li ne auxskultas ilin:

19 tiam lia patro kaj lia patrino prenu lin kaj alkonduku lin al la plejagxuloj de lia urbo kaj al la pordego de lia logxoloko;

20 kaj ili diru al la plejagxuloj de lia urbo:CXi tiu nia filo estas obstina kaj malobea, li ne auxskultas nian vocxon, li estas mangxegemulo kaj drinkemulo.

21 Tiam cxiuj homoj de lia urbo prijxetu lin per sxtonoj, ke li mortu; tiel ekstermu la malbonon el inter vi, kaj cxiuj Izraelidoj auxdos kaj ektimos.

22 Se iu farigxos kulpa pri peko, kiu meritas morton, kaj li estos mortigita kaj vi pendigos lin sur arbo:

23 tiam lia kadavro ne devas resti dum la nokto sur la arbo, sed vi devas lin enterigi en la sama tago; cxar pendigito estas malbenita antaux Dio; kaj ne makulu vian teron, kiun la Eternulo, via Dio, donas al vi kiel posedajxon.

2252. That 'perhaps there may be fifty righteous persons in the midst of the city' means that the truths may be full of goods is clear from the meaning of 'fifty' as full, from the meaning of 'righteous' as good, dealt with in 612, 2235, from [the meaning] of 'midst' as that which is within, 1074, and from [the meaning] of 'the city' as truth, 402. Thus 'fifty righteous persons in the midst of the city' in the internal sense means that the truths may be full of goods. That this meaning exists within these words cannot be seen by anyone from the letter, for the historical details of the literal sense lead the mind in an altogether different direction or to think in a different way; but that these words are nevertheless perceived according to that meaning by those who possess the internal sense, I know for certain. Moreover the actual numbers mentioned, such as fifty here, and forty-five, forty, thirty, twenty, and ten in what follows, are never perceived as numbers by those who possess the internal sense but as real things or as states, as shown in 482, 487, 575, 647, 648, 755, 813, 1963, 1988, 2075.

[2] Indeed the ancients also used numbers to mark off one from another the states of their Church; and the nature of such numbers worked out by them becomes clear from the meaning of the numbers in the paragraphs that have just been mentioned. The meaning possessed by numbers was received by those people from the representatives which manifest themselves in the world of spirits. There when anything appears as that which is numbered, it does not mean something defined by means of numbers but means some real thing or else a state, as becomes clear from what has been presented in 2129, 2130, and also in 2089, regarding 'twelve' meaning all things of faith. It is similar with the numbers that now follow. This shows what the nature of the Word is in the internal sense.

[3] The reason 'fifty' means that which is full is that it is the number which comes after seven times seven, or forty-nine, and so marks the completion of the latter number. This explains why in the representative Church the feast of the seven sabbaths 1 was held on the fiftieth day, and why a jubilee was held in the fiftieth year. Regarding the feast of the seven sabbaths the following is said in Moses,

You shall count for yourselves from the day after the sabbath; from the day you bring the sheaf of the wave-offering, seven sabbaths shall there be complete. Until the day after the seventh sabbath you shall count fifty days, and offer a new gift to Jehovah. Leviticus 23:15-16.

Regarding the jubilee in the same book,

You shall count for yourself seven sabbaths of years, seven times seven years, and you shall have a time of seven sabbaths of years, forty-nine years. And you shall sanctify the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty in the land to all its inhabitants; it shall be a jubilee for you. Leviticus 25:8, 10.

From this it is evident that 'the fiftieth' means that which marks the full completion of the sabbaths.

[4] What is more, whenever 'fifty' is mentioned in the Word it means that which is full, as in the case of the numbering of the Levites aged thirty years and over up to fifty years of age, Numbers 4:23, 35, 39, 43, 47; 8:25. Here 'fifty' stands for the full or final state of that period of ministerial service. A man found lying with a young woman who was a virgin had to give to the young woman's father fifty pieces of silver, and she had to be his wife; nor could he divorce her, Deuteronomy 22:29. Here 'fifty pieces of silver' stands for a full fine and a full recompense. David's giving to Araunah fifty pieces of silver for the threshing-floor, where he built an altar to Jehovah, 2 Samuel 24:24, stands for a full price and a full payment. Absalom's making ready for himself a chariot and horses, and his having fifty men running before him, 2 Samuel 15:1, and Adonijah's likewise having chariots and horsemen, and fifty men running before him, 1 Kings 1:5, stand for their full dignity and majesty. For these people received from the ancients certain numbers which were representative and carried spiritual meanings and which were observed by them. Those numbers were also commanded in their religious observances, though the majority of the people did not know what was meant by them.

[5] In the same way, because 'fifty' means that which is full and this number was also representative, as has been stated, the same thing is meant in the Lord's parable concerning the steward, who said to the man owing oil,

How much do you owe my master? He said, A hundred baths of oil. Then he said to him, Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty. Luke 16:5-6.

'Fifty' stands for the full discharge of the debt. Being a number it does indeed seem to imply nothing more than a number, when in fact in the internal sense this number is used in every case to mean that which is full, as also in Haggai,

One came to the winevat to draw fifty measures from the winevat, and there were only twenty. Haggai 2:16.

This means that instead of a full amount there was not much. 'Fifty' would not have been mentioned in the prophet if it had not carried this meaning.
