Deuteronoomia 22

Studie

   

1 Ära vaata pealt, kui su venna härg või lammas on ära eksinud, ja ära jäta seda omapead, vaid vii see kohe tagasi oma vennale!

2 Aga kui su vend ei ole su lähedal või sa ei tunne teda, siis korista see loom enese juurde koju ja see olgu sinu juures, kuni su vend seda nõuab; siis anna see temale tagasi!

3 Ja nõnda talita tema eesliga, ja nõnda talita tema kuuega, ja nõnda talita oma venna iga kadunud asjaga, mis temalt kaob ja mille sa leiad; sa ei tohi ennast kõrvale hoida!

4 Ära vaata pealt, kui su venna eesel või härg lamab teel, ja ära hoidu sellest kõrvale, vaid tõsta see kohe üles koos oma vennaga!

5 Naine ärgu kandku mehe riideid ja mees ärgu pangu selga naise kehakatet, sest igaüks, kes seda teeb, on jäle Issandale, su Jumalale.

6 Kui teel olles juhtub su ette linnupesa mõne puu otsas või maas, poegadega või munadega, ja ema losutab poegade või munade peal, siis ära võta ema koos poegadega,

7 vaid lase ema kohe lahti ja võta pojad enesele, et su käsi hästi käiks ja sa pikendaksid oma päevi!

8 Kui sa ehitad uue koja, siis tee oma katusele käsipuu, et sa ei tõmbaks oma koja peale veresüüd, kui keegi sealt alla kukub.

9 Ära külva oma viinamäele kahesugust vilja, et mitte kõike ei peetaks pühitsetuks: nii seemet, mille oled külvanud, kui viinamäe saaki!

10 Ära künna härja ja eesliga paaris!

11 Ära pane selga riiet, mis on segatud lõimest, villasest ja linasest!

12 Tee enesele tutid oma kuue nelja hõlmatipu külge, millega sa ennast katad!

13 Kui mees võtab naise ja heidab ta juurde, aga pärast vihkab teda

14 ja heidab temale ette häbistavaid asju ning levitab tema kohta halba kuuldust ja ütleb: 'Ma võtsin selle naise, aga kui ma ühtisin temaga, siis ma ei leidnud teda neitsi olevat',

15 siis võtku selle tütarlapse isa ja ema ja toogu tütarlapse neitsipõlve märgid linna vanemate ette väravasse.

16 Ja tütarlapse isa öelgu vanemaile: 'Ma andsin oma tütre naiseks sellele mehele, aga tema vihkab teda.

17 Ja vaata, ta heidab temale ette häbistavaid asju, öeldes: 'Ma ei leidnud su tütart neitsi olevat.' Aga need on ometi mu tütre neitsipõlve märgid!' Ja nad laotagu riie linna vanemate ette!

18 Siis võtku linna vanemad see mees ja karistagu teda!

19 Nad maksustagu teda saja hõbeseekliga, et ta annaks need tütarlapse isale, sellepärast et ta Iisraeli neitsi kohta on levitanud halba kuuldust; ja tütarlaps jäägu tema naiseks, ta ei tohi teda ära saata kogu oma eluaja!

20 Aga kui see kõne on tõsi, neitsipõlve märke ei ole tütarlapselt leitud,

21 siis viidagu tütarlaps oma isakoja ukse ette ja ta linna mehed visaku ta kividega surnuks, sest ta on teinud Iisraelis häbiteo, hoorates oma isakojas. Nõnda kõrvalda kurjus enese keskelt!

22 Kui mees leitakse magamas naisega, kes on teise mehe abielunaine, siis peavad ka nemad mõlemad surema: mees, kes naise juures magas, ja naine. Nõnda kõrvalda kurjus Iisraelist!

23 Kui tütarlaps, kes on neitsi, on mehega kihlatud, aga teine mees kohtab teda linnas ning magab ta juures,

24 siis viige mõlemad välja selle linna värava ette ja visake nad kividega surnuks: tütarlaps selle pärast, et ta linnas ei hüüdnud appi, ja mees selle pärast, et ta oma ligimese naise ära naeris. Nõnda kõrvalda kurjus enese keskelt!

25 Aga kui mees kohtab kihlatud tütarlast väljal, ja mees haarab temast kinni ning magab ta juures, siis peab mees, kes tema juures magas, üksinda surema.

26 Tütarlapsele aga ära tee midagi, tütarlapsel ei ole surma väärt pattu, sest nagu keegi kipub kallale oma ligimesele ja võtab temalt hinge, nõnda on see lugu,

27 sest ta kohtas teda väljal, kihlatud tütarlaps hüüdis appi, aga tal ei olnud päästjat.

28 Kui mees kohtab tütarlast, kes on neitsi, aga kes ei ole kihlatud, ja võtab ta kinni ning magab tema juures ja nad tabatakse,

29 siis peab mees, kes magas ta juures, andma tütarlapse isale viiskümmend hõbeseeklit, ja tütarlaps saagu tema naiseks, sellepärast et ta on tema ära naernud; ta ei tohi teda ära saata kogu oma eluaja!

9470. 'And wool of she-goats' means the good from this, that is to say, from the good of mutual love. The reason why 'wool of she-goats' means this good is that 'a she-goat' means the good of innocence in the external or natural man, 3519, 7840, and therefore 'wool' means the truth belonging to that good. However, since not truth but good is meant, the original language does not actually say 'wool of she-goats', only 'she-goats', as is also the case in other places, such as in the following words in Exodus,

All the skilled 1 women brought what they had spun, violet, purple, twice-dyed scarlet, [and] fine linen thread; and all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun she-goats. Exodus 35:25-26.

'Spinning she-goats' stands for producing things woven from the wool of she-goats.

[2] The fact that 'wool' means truth from a celestial origin, which in itself is good, is clear from places in the Word where the actual word is used, as in Hosea,

[Their mother has committed whoredom.] She said, I will go after my lovers, those giving me my bread and my water, my wool and my linen. Therefore I will return and take back My grain in its season, and I will snatch away My wool and My linen. Hosea 2:5, 9.

This refers to a corrupted Church, meant here by 'mother'. 'The lovers' with whom she is said to have committed whoredom are those who pervert forms of good and truths. 'Bread' and 'water' mean internal forms of the good of love, and the internal truths of faith; 'wool' and 'flax' mean external ones.

[3] In Daniel,

I saw until thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days was seated. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of His head like pure wool. Daniel 7:9.

This refers to the Church laid waste so far as every truth of faith was concerned, and then restored by the Lord, its having been completely laid waste being meant in the words 'thrones were placed'. 'The Ancient of Days' is the Lord in respect of celestial good as this existed in the Most Ancient Church, which was a celestial Church. In the Word that good is called 'ancient', its external truth being meant by clothing which was 'white as snow', and its external good by hair of the head which was 'like pure wool'. Similar words occur in John,

... in the midst of the seven lampstands one like the Son of Man. His head and hair were white, like white wool, like snow. Revelation 1:13-14.

[4] This kind of truth, being in itself good because it is the outward form of celestial good, is again meant by 'wool' in Ezekiel,

Damascus was your merchant in the wine of Helbon and the wool of Zachar. 2 Ezekiel 27:18.

And in Isaiah,

Though your sins are like twice-dyed, they will be as white as snow. Though they are as red as scarlet, they will be as wool. Isaiah 1:18.

[5] Because Aaron's garments represented the kinds of realities that belong to the Lord's spiritual kingdom, thus the spiritual realities that belong to truth, his 'holy garments' were made of linen and not of wool. For 'linen' is spiritual truth, whereas 'wool' is celestial truth, which in comparison is good. On this account it says in Ezekiel,

The priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, when they enter the gates of the inner court they shall put on the linen garments, and no wool shall come upon them. The linen turbans shall be on their heads, the linen undergarments shall be over their loins. Ezekiel 44:17-18.

The fact that Aaron's garments were made not of wool but of linen is clear from Leviticus 16:4, 32.

[6] From all this it becomes clear that 'linen' means spiritual truth, which is the truth of the good of faith, whereas 'wool' means celestial truth, which is the truth of the good of love. And since those endued with the latter kind of truth cannot be endued with the former, because the two are as different as the light of the sun is from the light of the stars, it was laid down that no one should wear a garment made of wool and linen mixed together, Deuteronomy 22:10-11. The fact that between what is celestial and what is spiritual there is such a difference, and that both cannot be together in one and the same person, see the places referred to in 9277.
