Levitiko 20

Studie

   

1 Kaj la Eternulo ekparolis al Moseo, dirante:

2 Al la Izraelidoj diru:CXiu el la Izraelidoj, kaj el la fremduloj, kiuj logxas inter la Izraelidoj, kiu donos iun el siaj idoj al Molehx, mortu; la popolo de la lando mortigu lin per sxtonoj.

3 Mi turnos Mian vizagxon kontraux tiun homon, kaj Mi ekstermos lin el inter lia popolo pro tio, ke el siaj idoj li donis al Molehx, por malpurigi Mian sanktejon kaj malhonori Mian sanktan nomon.

4 Kaj se la popolo de la lando kovros siajn okulojn for de tiu homo, kiam li donos iun el siaj idoj al Molehx, kaj ne mortigos lin:

5 tiam Mi turnos Mian vizagxon kontraux tiun homon kaj kontraux lian familion, kaj Mi ekstermos lin, kaj cxiujn, kiuj malcxastos, imitante lin en la malcxastado por Molehx, el inter ilia popolo.

6 Kaj se iu animo sin turnos al magiistoj kaj sorcxistoj, por malcxasti sub ilia gvido, tiam Mi turnos Mian vizagxon kontraux tiun animon kaj ekstermos gxin el inter gxia popolo.

7 Sanktigu vin kaj estu sanktaj, cxar Mi estas la Eternulo, via Dio.

8 Kaj observu Miajn legxojn kaj plenumu ilin:Mi estas la Eternulo, kiu sanktigas vin.

9 CXiu, kiu malbenas sian patron aux sian patrinon, estu mortigita:sian patron kaj sian patrinon li malbenis, lia sango estu sur li.

10 Kaj se iu adultis kun edzinigita virino, se iu adultis kun la edzino de sia proksimulo, estu mortigitaj la adultinto kaj la adultintino.

11 Kaj se iu kusxis kun la edzino de sia patro, li malkovris la nudecon de sia patro; ambaux ili estu mortigitaj, ilia sango estu sur ili.

12 Kaj se iu kusxis kun sia bofilino, ili ambaux estu mortigitaj:abomenajxon ili faris, ilia sango estu sur ili.

13 Kaj se iu kusxis kun viro kiel kun virino, abomenajxon ili ambaux faris:ili estu mortigitaj, ilia sango estu sur ili.

14 Kaj se iu prenis virinon kaj sxian patrinon, tio estas malcxastegeco:per fajro oni forbruligu lin kaj ilin, por ke ne estu malcxasteco inter vi.

15 Kaj se iu kusxis kun bruto, li estu mortigita, kaj ankaux la bruton mortigu.

16 Kaj se virino alproksimigxis al ia bruto, por sekskunigxi kun gxi, tiam mortigu la virinon kaj la bruton:ili estu mortigitaj, ilia sango estu sur ili.

17 Kaj se iu prenis sian fratinon, filinon de sia patro aux filinon de sia patrino, kaj li vidis sxian nudecon kaj sxi vidis lian nudecon, tio estas maldecajxo; kaj ili devas esti ekstermitaj antaux la okuloj de sia popolo:la nudecon de sia fratino li malkovris, li portu sian pekon.

18 Kaj se iu kusxis kun virino dum sxia malsano kaj malkovris sxian nudecon, li vidatigis sxian elfluejon kaj sxi malkovris la elfluejon de sia sango:ili ambaux estu ekstermitaj el inter sia popolo.

19 Kaj la nudecon de la fratino de via patrino kaj de la fratino de via patro ne malkovru; cxar li nudigis sian korpoparencinon, ili portu sian pekon.

20 Kaj se iu kusxis kun sia onklino, li malkovris la nudecon de sia onklo:ili portu sian pekon, ili mortos seninfanaj.

21 Kaj se iu prenis la edzinon de sia frato, tio estas malpurajxo:la nudecon de sia frato li malkovris, seninfanaj ili estos.

22 Kaj observu cxiujn Miajn legxojn kaj cxiujn Miajn decidojn kaj plenumu ilin, por ke ne eljxetu vin la lando, en kiun Mi kondukas vin, por tie logxi.

23 Kaj ne agu laux la legxoj de la popolo, kiun Mi forpelas de antaux vi, cxar cxion cxi tion ili faris kaj Mi ekabomenis ilin.

24 Kaj Mi diris al vi:Vi heredos ilian landon, kaj Mi gxin donos al vi, por ke vi posedu gxin, la landon, en kiu fluas lakto kaj mielo. Mi estas la Eternulo, via Dio, kiu distingis vin el inter la popoloj.

25 Kaj faru diferencon inter bruto pura kaj malpura kaj inter birdo malpura kaj pura; kaj ne malpurigu viajn animojn per bruto kaj per birdo, kaj per cxio, kio movigxas sur la tero, kion Mi apartigis por vi, ke vi rigardu ilin kiel malpurajn.

26 Kaj estu antaux Mi sanktaj, cxar sankta estas Mi, la Eternulo, kaj Mi apartigis vin el inter la popoloj, por ke vi estu Miaj.

27 Kaj viro aux virino, se ili estos magiistoj aux sorcxistoj, estu mortigitaj; per sxtonoj oni ilin mortigu, ilia sango estu sur ili.

Apocalypse Explained # 946

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.
