Eliro 22

Studie

   

1 Se iu sxtelos bovon aux sxafon kaj bucxos gxin aux vendos gxin, tiam li pagu kvin bovojn pro la bovo kaj kvar sxafojn pro la sxafo.

2 Se iu trovos sxtelanton cxe subfosado kaj batos lin kaj tiu mortos, tiam oni ne jugxu lin pro la sango.

3 Sed se lumis super li la suno, tiam oni jugxu lin pro la sango. La sxtelinto pagu kompenson; se li ne havas, tiam oni lin vendu pro lia sxtelo.

4 Se la sxtelitajxo, cxu gxi estas bovo, cxu azeno, cxu sxafo, estos trovita en liaj manoj viva, tiam li kompensu duoble.

5 Se iu difektos kampon aux vinberejon, lasante sian bruton, ke gxi difektu kampon de aliulo, tiam li devas pagi per plejbonajxo el sia kampo kaj per plejbonajxo el sia vinberejo.

6 Se eliros fajro kaj trafos dornojn kaj ekstermos garbojn aux starantan grenon aux kampon, tiam tiu kompensu, kiu kauxzis la brulon.

7 Se iu donos al sia proksimulo monon aux uzatajxojn, por konservi, kaj ili estos sxtelitaj el la domo de tiu homo, tiam, se la sxtelinto estos trovita, li kompensu duoble.

8 Se la sxtelinto ne estos trovita, tiam la mastro de la domo venu al la potenculoj, kaj jxuru, ke li ne etendis sian manon sur la apartenajxon de sia proksimulo.

9 Pri cxiu maljustajxo, cxu gxi estos pri bovo, cxu pri azeno, cxu pri sxafo, cxu pri vesto, pri cxiu perditajxo, pri kiu iu diros, ke gxi estas lia, la afero de ambaux devas esti prezentita al la potenculoj; kiun la potenculoj trovos kulpa, tiu kompensu duoble al sia proksimulo.

10 Se iu donos al sia proksimulo azenon aux bovon aux sxafon aux alian bruton, por konservi, kaj gxi mortos aux estos difektita aux forkaptita, kaj neniu tion vidos,

11 tiam jxuro antaux la Eternulo estu inter ili, ke li ne etendis sian manon sur la apartenajxon de sia proksimulo, kaj gxia mastro gxin prenos kaj li ne kompensos.

12 Sed se oni gxin sxtelos de li, tiam li devas kompensi al gxia mastro.

13 Se gxi estos dissxirita, li prezentu ateston, kaj la dissxiritajxon li ne kompensos.

14 Se iu gxin prenos prunte de sia proksimulo, kaj gxi estos difektita aux mortos dum foresto de sia mastro, tiam li devas kompensi.

15 Se gxia mastro estis apud gxi, tiam li ne devas kompensi. Se gxi estis dungita, li perdis sian dungomonon.

16 Se iu forlogos virgulinon, kiu ne estas fiancxinigita, kaj kusxos kun sxi, tiam li donu al sxi doton kaj prenu sxin al si kiel edzinon.

17 Se sxia patro ne volos doni sxin al li, tiam li pagu tiom da mono, kiom virgulinoj ordinare ricevas dote.

18 Sorcxistinon ne lasu vivi.

19 CXiu, kiu kusxis kun bruto, estu mortigita.

20 Kiu alportas oferojn al dioj, krom al la Eternulo sole, tiu estu ekstermita.

21 Fremdulon ne ofendu, nek premu lin; cxar fremduloj vi estis en la lando Egipta.

22 Vidvinon kaj orfon ne premu.

23 Se vi ilin premos kaj ili krios al Mi, tiam Mi auxdos ilian krion;

24 kaj ekflamos Mia kolero, kaj Mi mortigos vin per glavo, kaj viaj edzinoj estos vidvinoj kaj viaj infanoj estos orfoj.

25 Se vi pruntedonos monon al iu el Mia popolo, al iu malricxulo apud vi, ne estu por li premanto, ne metu sur lin procentojn.

26 Se vi prenos de via proksimulo veston kiel garantiajxon, tiam antaux la subiro de la suno redonu gxin al li;

27 cxar gxi estas lia sola kovro, gxi estas la vesto por lia korpo; en kio li dormos? kaj kiam li krios al Mi, Mi auxdos, cxar Mi estas favorkora.

28 Potenculojn ne malbenu, kaj estron de via popolo ne insultu.

29 Vian abundon kaj sukon ne retenu; la unuenaskiton el viaj filoj vi devas doni al Mi.

30 Tiel same agu kun via bovo kaj via sxafo; sep tagojn gxi restu kun sia patrino, en la oka tago donu gxin al Mi.

31 Estu por Mi sanktaj homoj; kaj viandon, dissxiritan sur la kampo, ne mangxu; al hundo jxetu gxin.

9133. 'If the theft is certainly found in his hand' means if any truth or good is left by means of which restoration can be made. This is clear from the meaning of 'certainly being found' - when it refers to good or truth that has been taken away, meant by 'the theft' - as being left; from the meaning of 'in his hand' as in his power ('hand' means power, see 878, 3387, 4931-4937, 5327, 5328, 5544, 6947, 7011, 7188, 7189, 7518, 7673, 8050, 8153, 8281; and the fact that 'in his hand' also means what resides with him will be seen below); and from the meaning of 'the theft' as the good or truth that has been taken away, dealt with in 9125. From all this it is evident that 'if the theft is certainly found in his hand' means if any good or truth is left. The reason why by means of which restoration can be made is also meant is that restoration for the good or truth that has been taken away is the subject in the present verse. The situation is that when a general affection for good remains there is always something left by means of which restoration can be made to replace some particular form of good that has been taken away; for it is on the general form of good that particular forms of it and particular truths depend, see

920, 1040, 1316, 4269, 4325 (end), 4329, 4345, 4383, 5208, 6115, 7131. The reason why 'in his hand' is whatever resides with him is that 'the hand' means power, and whatever is within a person's power resides with him, and what is not in his power does not reside with him. This also is the reason why 'hand', especially 'right hand', is used to mean the person himself. From all this one may see what is meant by 'sitting on the right hand of the Father' when said of the Lord, that He is everything residing with the Father, and so is the Father Himself. The same thing is meant in the Lord's teaching in John 14:8-11; 17:10-11, about His being in the Father, and the Father in Him, and about all things that are His being the Father's, and all that are the Father's being His.

Arcana Coelestia # 3387

3387. 'For he was afraid to say, My wife, [thinking,] The men of the place may perhaps kill me on account of Rebekah' means that it was impossible for Divine Truths themselves to be disclosed, and so for Divine Good to be received. This is clear from the meaning of 'being afraid to say' as an inability to disclose; from the meaning of 'wife', who is Rebekah here, as the Lord's Divine Rational in respect to Divine Truth, dealt with in 3012, 3013, 3077; from the meaning of 'killing me' as good not being received, for 'Isaac', to whom 'me' refers here, represents the Divine Good of the Lord's Rational, 3012, 3194, 3210 - good being said 'to be killed' or to perish when it is not received, for it ceases to exist with that person; and from the meaning of 'the men of the place' as people who possess matters of doctrine concerning faith, dealt with just above in 3385. From these meanings it is now evident what the internal sense of these words is, namely: If Divine truths themselves were disclosed they would not be received by those who possess matters of doctrine concerning faith because those truths go beyond the whole range of their rational grasp of things, and so go beyond the whole of their faith, and as a consequence of this no good at all could flow in from the Lord. For good from the Lord, or Divine good, cannot flow in except into truths, for truths are the vessels for good, as shown many times.

[2] Truths or appearances of truth are given to a person to enable Divine Good to develop the understanding part of his mind, and so the person himself, for truths exist to the end that good may flow in. Indeed without vessels or receptacles good has nowhere to go, for it can find no condition answering to itself. Where no truths exist therefore, that is, where they have not been received, neither does any rational or human good exist; and as a consequence the person does not possess any spiritual life. Therefore, so that a person may nevertheless possess truths, and from these receive spiritual life, appearances of truth are given, to everyone according to his ability to grasp them; and these appearances are acknowledged as truths because they have the capacity to hold Divine things within them.

[3] So that it may be known what appearances are and that they are what serve a person as Divine truths, let the following be used by way of illustration: If man were told that in heaven angels have no concept of place, and so no concept of distance, but that instead they have concepts of state, he could not possibly grasp it, for he would suppose from this that nothing distinct and separate existed but that everything was fused together, that is to say, all the angels were together in a single place. Yet everything there is so distinct and separate that nothing could ever be more so. Places, distances, and intervals of space which exist in the natural order exist in heaven as states, see 3356. From this it is evident that all the things that are stated in the Word about places and intervals of space between objects, also ideas that are formed from these and expressed through them, are appearances of truth; and unless everything were stated by means of those appearances it would in no way be received and would as a consequence be scarcely anything; for the concept of space and time is present in almost every single detail of a person's thought as long as he is in the world, that is, living within space and time.

[4] The fact that the Word speaks according to appearances involving space is clear from almost every single part of it, as in Matthew,

Jesus said, How is it that David says, The Lord [said] to my Lord, Sit at My right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool? Matthew 22:43-44.

Here the expression 'sitting at the right hand' is derived from the concept of place and so according to the appearance - when in fact it is a state of the Lord's Divine power which is described by that expression. In the same gospel,

Jesus said, Hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of power and coming on the clouds of heaven. Matthew 26:64.

Here similarly 'sitting at the right hand' and also 'coming on clouds' are expressions derived from men's concept of place, whereas the concept angels have is one of the state of the Lord's power. In Mark,

The sons of Zebedee said to Jesus, Grant us to sit in Your glory, one on Your right hand and the other on Your left. Jesus replied, To sit at My right hand and at My left is not Mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared. Mark 10:37, 40.

From this it is evident what kind of concept the disciples had of the Lord's kingdom, that is to say, one that involved sitting on the right hand and on the left. Such being the concept they had of it the Lord also replied to them in a way they could understand and so by an appearance that could be seen by them.

[5] In David,

Like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, he rejoices as a mighty man to run the course. From the end of the heavens is His going forth, and His circuit to the ends of them. Psalms 19:5-6.

This refers to the Lord, the state of whose Divine power is described by means of such things as belong to space. In Isaiah,

How you have fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the dawn! You said in your heart, I will go up into the heavens, above the stars of God 1 I will raise my throne. I will go up above the heights of the clouds. Isaiah 14:12-14.

'Falling from heaven', 'going up the heavens', 'raising a throne above the stars of God', 'going up above the heights of the clouds' are all expressions derived from the concept and appearance of space or a place, and are used to describe self-love profaning holy things. Since celestial and spiritual things are presented to man by means of and according to visual objects like these, heaven too is therefore described as being on high when in fact it is not on high but in that which is internal, 450, 1380, 2148.
