Levitiko 19

Studie

   

1 Kaj la Eternulo ekparolis al Moseo, dirante:

2 Parolu al la tuta komunumo de la Izraelidoj, kaj diru al ili:Sanktaj estu, cxar sankta estas Mi, la Eternulo, via Dio.

3 CXiu el vi timu sian patrinon kaj sian patron, kaj Miajn sabatojn observu:Mi estas la Eternulo, via Dio.

4 Ne turnu vin al idoloj, kaj diojn fanditajn ne faru al vi:Mi estas la Eternulo, via Dio.

5 Kaj kiam vi bucxos pacoferon al la Eternulo, bucxu gxin, por akiri placxon.

6 En la tago de la oferado gxi estu mangxata kaj en la morgauxa tago; sed tion, kio restis gxis la tria tago, oni forbruligu per fajro.

7 Sed se oni gxin mangxos en la tria tago, gxi estos abomenajxo, gxi ne placxos.

8 Kaj gxia mangxinto portos sur si sian malbonagon, cxar li malhonoris la sanktajxon de la Eternulo; kaj tiu animo ekstermigxos el sia popolo.

9 Kaj kiam vi rikoltos rikoltajxon de via tero, ne rikoltu cxion gxis la rando de via kampo, kaj la restajxon de via rikoltajxo ne forkolektu.

10 Kaj vian vinberejon ne tute senberigu, kaj la falintajn berojn en via vinberejo ne forkolektu; por la malricxulo kaj por la fremdulo restigu ilin:Mi estas la Eternulo, via Dio.

11 Ne sxtelu, kaj ne mensogu, kaj ne trompu unu alian.

12 Kaj ne jxuru per Mia nomo mensoge, malhonorante la nomon de via Dio:Mi estas la Eternulo.

13 Ne premu vian proksimulon kaj ne rabu; la pago por dungito ne noktorestu cxe vi gxis mateno.

14 Ne malbenu surdulon, kaj antaux blindulo ne kusxigu falilon; timu vian Dion:Mi estas la Eternulo.

15 Ne faru maljustajxon en la jugxado, ne estu partia por malricxulo kaj ne estimu potenculon; juste jugxu vian proksimulon.

16 Ne disportu kalumniojn inter via popolo, ne staru kontraux la sango de via proksimulo:Mi estas la Eternulo.

17 Ne malamu vian fraton en via koro; admonu vian proksimulon, por ke vi ne portu sur vi pekon pro li.

18 Ne faru vengxon kaj ne portu koleron kontraux la filoj de via popolo; amu vian proksimulon kiel vin mem:Mi estas la Eternulo.

19 Miajn legxojn observu. Vian bruton ne parigu miksospece, vian kampon ne prisemu miksospece, kaj veston miksospecan el lano kaj lino ne surmetu sur vin.

20 Se viro kusxas kun virino pro semo, kaj sxi estas sklavino, ordonita al viro, sed ankoraux ne elacxetita aux ne ricevinta liberecon, tiam devas esti enketo, sed ili ne mortu, cxar sxi ne estis libera.

21 Li alportu pro sia kulpo al la Eternulo antaux la pordon de la tabernaklo de kunveno virsxafon kiel pekoferon.

22 Kaj la pastro pekliberigos lin per la virsxafo de pekofero antaux la Eternulo koncerne la pekon, kiun li pekis, kaj pardonita estos al li la peko, kiun li pekis.

23 Kaj kiam vi venos en la landon kaj plantos ian arbon mangxodonan, tiam rigardu gxiajn fruktojn kvazaux konsekritaj; dum tri jaroj ili estu por vi kvazaux konsekritaj, ili ne estu mangxataj.

24 En la kvara jaro cxiuj gxiaj fruktoj estu sanktaj, dankoferoj al la Eternulo.

25 Sed en la kvina jaro vi povas mangxi gxiajn fruktojn, kolektante por vi gxiajn produktajxojn:Mi estas la Eternulo, via Dio.

26 Ne mangxu kun sango; ne auxguru kaj ne antauxdiru sorcxe.

27 Ne cxirkauxtondu la flankojn de via kapo kaj ne fordifektu la flankojn de via barbo.

28 Entrancxojn pro mortinto ne faru sur via korpo kaj skribon enpikitan ne faru sur vi:Mi estas la Eternulo.

29 Ne senhonorigu vian filinon, prostituante sxin; por ke la lando ne farigxu prostituista kaj por ke la lando ne plenigxu de malcxasteco.

30 Miajn sabatojn gardu kaj Mian sanktejon respektu:Mi estas la Eternulo.

31 Ne turnu vin al magiistoj nek al sorcxistoj, ne provu malpurigxi per ili:Mi estas la Eternulo, via Dio.

32 Antaux grizulo starigxu, kaj respektu la vizagxon de maljunulo, kaj timu vian Dion:Mi estas la Eternulo.

33 Kaj se eklogxos cxe vi fremdulo en via lando, ne premu lin.

34 Kiel indigxeno el inter vi estu por vi la fremdulo, kiu eklogxis cxe vi, kaj amu lin kiel vin mem, cxar fremduloj vi estis en la lando Egipta:Mi estas la Eternulo, via Dio.

35 Ne faru maljustajxon en la jugxo, en la mezuro, en la peso, en la amplekso.

36 Pesilo gxusta, peziloj gxustaj, efo gxusta, kaj hino gxusta estu cxe vi:Mi estas la Eternulo, via Dio, kiu elkondukis vin el la lando Egipta.

37 Kaj observu cxiujn Miajn legxojn kaj cxiujn Miajn decidojn kaj plenumu ilin:Mi estas la Eternulo.

Apocalypse Explained # 946

/ 1232  
  

946. For Thy judgments have been made manifest, signifies that Divine truths have been revealed to them. This is evident from the signification of "judgments," as being Divine truths (of which presently); also from the signification of "made manifest," as being to be revealed. That Divine truths are revealed at the end of the church, and that they have been revealed, will be shown in what follows in this chapter, because this is there treated of. "Judgments" signify Divine truths because the laws of government in the Lord's spiritual kingdom are called "judgments;" while the laws of government in His celestial kingdom are called "justice." For the laws of government in the Lord's spiritual kingdom are laws from the Divine truth; while the laws of government in the Lord's celestial kingdom are laws from the Divine good. This is why "judgment" and "justice" are mentioned in the Word, in the following passages. In Isaiah:

Of peace there shall be no end upon the throne of David, to establish it, and to uphold it in judgment and in justice from henceforth and to eternity (Isaiah 9:7).

This is said of the Lord and His kingdom. His spiritual kingdom is signified by "the throne of David;" and because this kingdom is in Divine truths from Divine good it is said, "in judgment and in justice."

In Jeremiah:

I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and He shall reign King, and He shall act intelligently, and shall do judgment and justice (Jeremiah 23:5).

This, too, is said of the Lord, and of His spiritual kingdom. And as this kingdom is in Divine truths from Divine good it is said, "He shall reign king, and shall act intelligently, and He shall do judgment and justice." The Lord is called "King," from Divine truth; and as Divine truth is also Divine intelligence it is said that "He shall act intelligently." And as the Divine truth is from the Divine good it is said that "He shall do judgment and justice."

[2] In Isaiah:

Jehovah is exalted, for He dwelleth on high, He hath filled Zion with judgment and justice (Isaiah 33:5).

"Zion" means heaven and the church, where the Lord reigns by the Divine truth; and as all the Divine truth is from the Divine good it is said, "He hath filled Zion with judgment and justice."

In Jeremiah:

I Jehovah doing judgment and justice in the earth; for in these things I am well pleased (Jeremiah 9:24).

Here, too, "judgment and justice" signify the Divine truth from the Divine good.

In Isaiah:

They ask of me the judgments of justice, they long for an approach unto God (5 Isaiah 58:2).

The "judgments of justice" are Divine truths from the Divine good, as are "judgment and justice;" for the spiritual sense conjoins things that the sense of the letter separates.

In Hosea:

I will betroth thee unto Me forever; and I will betroth thee unto Me in justice and in judgment and in mercy and in truth (Hosea 2:19, 20).

This treats of the Lord's celestial kingdom, which consists of those who are in love to the Lord; and as the Lord's conjunction with such is comparatively like the conjunction of a husband with a wife, for so does the good of love conjoin, it is said, "I will betroth thee unto Me in justice and in judgment," "justice" being put here in the first place, and "judgment" in the second, because those who are in the good of love to the Lord are also in truths; for they see truths from good. As "justice" is predicated of good, and "judgment" of truth, it is also said, "in mercy and in truth," "mercy" belonging to good, because it is of love.

[3] In David:

Jehovah is in the heavens. Thy justice is like the mountains of God, and Thy judgments are like the great deep (Psalms 36:5-6).

"Justice" is predicated of the Divine good, and is therefore compared to "the mountains of God;" for "mountains of God" signify the goods of love (See above, n. 405, 510, 850); and "judgments" are predicated of Divine truths, and are therefore compared to "the great deep;" for "the great deep" signifies the Divine truth. From this it can now be seen that "judgments" signify Divine truths.

[4] In many passages in the Word, "judgments," "commandments," and "statutes" are mentioned; and "judgments" there signify civil laws, "commandments" the laws of spiritual life, and "statutes" the laws of worship. That "judgments" signify civil laws, is evident from Exodus (21, 22, 23), where the things commanded are called "judgments" because according to them the judges gave judgments in the gates of the city; nevertheless they signify Divine truths, such as are in the Lord's spiritual kingdom in the heavens, for they contain these in the spiritual sense; as can be (Arcana Coelestia 8971-9103) seen (Arcana Coelestia 9124-9231) from (Arcana Coelestia 9247-9348) the explanation of them in the Arcana Coelestia 8971-9103, 9124-9231, 9247-9348). That the laws given to the sons of Israel were called "judgments, "commandments," and "statutes," can be seen from the following passages.

In Moses:

I will speak unto thee all the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them (Deuteronomy 5:31).

In the same:

These are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you (Deuteronomy 6:1).

In the same:

Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them (Deuteronomy 7:11).

In David:

If his sons forsake My law and walk not in My judgments, if they profane My statutes and keep not My commandments, then will I visit their transgression with the rod (Psalms 89:30-32).

So in many other places, as Leviticus 18:5; 19:37; 20:22; 25:18; 26:15; Deuteronomy 4:1; 5:1, 6, 7; 17:19; 26:17; Ezekiel 5:6, 7; 11:12, 20; 18:9; 20:11, 13, 25; 37:24. In these passages "commandments" mean the laws of life, especially those contained in the Decalogue, which are therefore called the Ten Commandments; while "statutes" mean the laws of worship which related especially to sacrifices and holy ministrations; and "judgments" mean civil laws; and as these laws were representative of spiritual laws, they signify such Divine truths as are in the Lord's spiritual kingdom in the heavens.

[5] It follows from this that when man shuns and turns away from evils as sins and is raised up into heaven by the Lord, he is no longer in what is his own (proprium), but in the Lord, and thus he thinks and wills goods. Again, since man acts as he thinks and wills, for every act of man proceeds from the thought of his will, it follows that when he shuns and turns away from evils, he does goods from the Lord and not from self; and this is why shunning evils is doing goods. The goods that a man then does are meant by good works; and good works in their whole complex are meant by charity. Man cannot be reformed unless he thinks, wills, and does as if from himself, since that which is done as if by the man himself is conjoined to him and remains with him, while that which is not done by the man as if from himself, not being received in any life of sense, flows through like ether; and this is why the Lord wills that man should not only shun and turn away from evils as if of himself, but should also think, will, and do as if of himself, and yet acknowledge in heart, that all these things are from the Lord. This he must acknowledge because it is the truth.
