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.

9228. The fact that 'seven' means a whole period from start to finish, thus what is complete, is clear from a large number of places in the Word, as in Isaiah,

The light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, on the day when Jehovah will bind up the hurt 1 of His people. Isaiah 30:26.

This refers to the salvation of faithful believers and their intelligence and wisdom in the Lord's kingdom. 'The moon' is faith received from the Lord, thus belief in the Lord, and 'the sun' is love derived from the Lord, thus love to the Lord, 30-38, 1521, 1529-1531, 2441, 2495, 3636, 3643, 4060, 4321 (end), 4696, 5377, 7078, 7083, 7171, 8644. 'The light of the sun will be sevenfold, as the light of seven days' means a complete state of intelligence and wisdom because of love to and belief in the Lord.

[2] In Ezekiel,

The inhabitants of the cities of Israel will go out, and they will set alight and burn the weapons, both shield and buckler, together with bow and arrows, and hand-staff, and spear; they will set fire to them for seven years, that they may not bring wood from the field nor cut down any from the forests. And they will cleanse the land in seven months. Ezekiel 39:9-10, 12.

This refers to the destruction of falsity. 'The weapons' that are listed here are falsities used by those who are evil to fight against the Church's truths. 'Setting fire to them for seven years' means complete destruction brought about by the desires of self-love and love of the world. 'In order that they may bring no wood from the field or cut down any from the forests' means when no good at all survives, neither in the internal man nor in the external. 'Cleansing the land in seven months' means the complete restoration of goodness and truth within the Church. It has been shown in very many places that 'weapons' are truths fighting against falsities, and in the contrary sense falsities fighting against truths; that 'bow and arrows' means teachings that present truth, and in the contrary sense teachings that present falsity; that 'hand-staff' means the power of truth, and in the contrary sense the power of falsity; that 'setting alight and burning' means laying waste through the desires of self-love and love of the world; that 'wood from the field' means the Church's forms of interior good, and 'wood from the forests' factual knowledge of goodness and truth; and that 'the land' means the Church. Anyone can see that different things are meant here from those which present themselves in the letter, as when it says that they will burn the weapons, and set them alight for seven years, in order that they may bring no wood from the field or cut down any from the forests. People do indeed know that things of a holy and Divine nature are meant, because the Word is holy and comes from God. But they cannot by any means know which things of a holy and Divine nature are contained in these words unless they know what the meaning is of 'weapons', 'seven years' and 'seven months', 'wood from the field' and 'wood from the forests'. From this it is evident that without knowledge gained from the internal sense those prophetic utterances are completely unintelligible.

[3] In David,

Seven times in the day I praise You over the judgements of Your righteousness. Psalms 119:164.

In the same author,

Repay [our] neighbours sevenfold into their bosom. Psalms 79:12.

'Sevenfold' means completely. The meaning is similar in Moses, where it says that they would be punished sevenfold if they went against commandments and statutes, Leviticus 26:18, 21, 24, 28. Anyone who does not know that 'seven' means a whole period from start to finish, and therefore what is complete, will suppose that 'seven weeks' in Daniel means seven lengths of time,

Know and perceive that from the going forth of the Word to restore and to build Jerusalem until the Messiah, the Prince, there will be seven weeks. Daniel 9:25.

But 'seven weeks until the Messiah, the Prince' means what is said of the Lord, namely that He will come in the fullness of time, so that 'seven weeks' means a whole period. From this it is evident that the seven spirits before God's throne, Revelation 1:4, the book sealed with seven seals, Revelation 5:1, and the seven angels holding 'the seven bowls, which are the seven last plagues, Revelation 15:1, 6-7; 21:9, do not mean seven spirits, seven seals, or seven angels, bowls, and plagues, but all things even to completeness. The statement in 1 Samuel 2:5 that the barren has borne seven in like manner does not mean seven but a great amount, even to a complete amount.

[4] Because 'seven' had this meaning it was stipulated that a priest at his initiation should wear the garments for seven days, Exodus 29:30; that his hands should be filled for seven days, 2 Exodus 29:35; that the altar should be sanctified for seven days, Exodus 29:37; and that those initiated into the priesthood should not depart from the tent [of meeting] for seven days, Leviticus 8:33-34. So too with the reference to the unclean spirit going out of a person and returning with seven others, Matthew 12:43-45; Luke 11:26; also where it says that if a brother sins seven times in a day and is seven times converted he is to be forgiven, Luke 17:4; and that the heart of Nebuchadnezzar was changed from [that of] a human being and the heart of a beast was given to him while seven times passed by, Daniel 4:15, 25, 32. For the same reasons also Job's friends sat down with him on the earth seven days and seven nights and spoke nothing to him, Job 2:13. Seventy in a similar way means that which is complete, see 6508, as also does a week, 2044, 3845. From all this it now becomes clear that 'the eighth day' means the initial phase of the following state.
