Exodus 22

Studie

   

1 Kui varas tabatakse sissemurdmiselt ja lüüakse surnuks, siis tapjal ei ole veresüüd.

2 Aga kui päike oli juba tõusnud, siis on tapjal veresüü. Varas peab tasuma kõik; kui tal midagi ei ole, võib teda ennast müüa varguse pärast.

3 Kui varastatu, olgu härg või eesel või lammas leitakse tema käest elusana, siis ta peab tasuma kahekordselt.

4 Kui keegi söödab ära põllu või viinamäe, laseb karja lahti ja söödab teise põllul, siis ta peab asemele andma parimat oma põllult ja viinamäelt.

5 Kui tuli pääseb lahti ja hakkab kibuvitste külge ning põletab ära nabrad või lõikamata vilja või põllu, siis süütaja peab põlenu eest täielikult tasuma.

6 Kui keegi teisele annab hoiule raha või riistu ja need varastatakse selle kojast, siis peab varas, kui ta leitakse, tasuma kahekordselt.

7 Aga kui varast ei tabata, viidagu koja omanik Jumala ette: kas ta ise ei ole pannud oma kätt ligimese vara külge?

8 Kõigis süütegudes härja, eesli, lamba, riiete ja kõigi kadunud asjade pärast, mida keegi ütleb enese oma olevat, tuleb mõlema asi viia Jumala ette: kelle Jumal süüdi mõistab, see peab teisele tasuma kahekordselt.

9 Kui keegi teisele annab hoiule eesli või härja või lamba või mõne muu looma ja see sureb või saab vigastada või viiakse ära kellegi nägemata,

10 siis peab nende mõlema vahel toimuma vanne Issanda ees: kas ta pole pannud oma kätt teise omandi külge? Omanik peab vandega leppima ja teine ärgu tasugu.

11 Kui see aga tõepoolest on temalt varastatud, siis ta peab omanikule tasuma.

12 Kui see aga tõepoolest on maha murtud, siis ta toogu see tõendiks; mahamurtut ta ei tarvitse tasuda.

13 Kui keegi teiselt laenab looma ja see saab vigastada või sureb, ilma et omanik juures oleks, siis ta peab selle eest temale tasuma.

14 Aga kui omanik juures oli, siis tal ei ole vaja tasuda; kui see oli renditud, siis asendab selle rendihind.

15 Kui keegi võrgutab neitsi, kes ei ole kihlatud, ja magab temaga, siis ta peab mõrsjahinna eest tema enesele naiseks võtma.

16 Aga kui selle isa keeldub teda temale andmast, siis mees vaagigu raha, nagu on mõrsjahind neitsi eest.

17 Sa ei tohi nõida ellu jätta!

18 Igaühte, kes ühtib loomaga, tuleb karistada surmaga!

19 Kes ohverdab jumalatele ja mitte üksnes Issandale, see tuleb hukata!

20 Ära rõhu võõrast ja ära tee temale häda, sest te ise olete olnud võõrad Egiptusemaal!

21 Te ei tohi halvasti kohelda ühtegi lesknaist ega vaeslast!

22 Kui sa neid halvasti kohtled, nii et nad mind appi hüüavad, siis ma kuulen tõesti nende hüüdu,

23 mu viha süttib põlema ja ma tapan teid mõõgaga, nõnda et teie naised jäävad leskedeks ja lapsed orbudeks.

24 Kui sa laenad raha minu rahvale, mõnele, kes on vaene, siis ära ole tema suhtes liigkasuvõtja: te ei tohi temalt kasu võtta!

25 Kui sa oled võtnud pandiks oma ligimese üleriide, siis sa pead selle temale tagasi andma, enne kui päike loojub,

26 sest see ta üleriie on tema ihu ainsaks katteks. Millega ta muidu magaks? Ma kuulen, kui ta mind appi hüüab, sest mina olen halastaja.

27 Sa ei tohi needa Jumalat ja sajatada oma rahva vürsti!

28 Oma külluse ja ülevooluga ära viivita! Sa pead esmasündinu oma poegadest minule andma!

29 Nõndasamuti tee oma veiste, lammaste ja kitsede esmasündinutega: seitse päeva olgu ta oma ema juures, kaheksandal päeval pead ta minule andma.

30 Ja te peate olema minule pühitsetud inimesed: väljal mahamurtu liha te ei tohi süüa, visake see koertele!

9219. 'For I am merciful' means that such help comes wholly from Him, out of mercy. This is clear from the meaning of 'being merciful', since it refers to the Lord, as the truth that help comes wholly from Him. The reason why out of mercy is meant is that everything done by the Lord is an act of mercy. The Lord in His Essential Being (Esse) is Divine Love; and love, when it is shown towards those in a state of wretchedness, is called mercy. Thus His Love as it is shown to the whole human race is called mercy; for the human race is set fast in a state of misery, since the human self or proprium is nothing but evil, 210, 215, 874-876, 987, 1581, 5660, 5786, 8480.

Arcana Coelestia # 875

875. 'The dove found no rest for the sole of its foot' means that no good and truth of faith at all had as yet been able to take root. This is clear from the meaning of 'a dove' as the truth of faith, and also from the meaning of 'rest for the sole of the foot' as taking root. The reason why they cannot take root is stated further on, namely that falsities were still there to overflowing. But nobody can begin to understand what all this means unless he knows how the regeneration of the spiritual man is accomplished.

[2] With this man the cognitions of faith drawn from the Word of the Lord - that is, matters of doctrine drawn from that source, which the Ancient Church had from what had been revealed to the Most Ancient Church - had to be planted in his memory, and in this way the understanding part of his mind received instruction. But as long as falsities dwell there to overflowing, truths of faith cannot take root, even though they have been planted there. They remain solely on the surface, or in the memory. Nor, as stated already, does the ground become suitable until falsities have been so dispersed that they do not reappear.

[3] The ground itself with this person is made ready in the understanding part of his mind, and when it has been made ready good that stems from charity is planted in it by the Lord, and through charity conscience from which he then acts, that is, by means of which the Lord produces in him the good and truth of faith. Thus the Lord separates in this man things belonging to his understanding from those belonging to his will in such a manner that they are in no way united. For if they were united he would inevitably and eternally perish.

[4] With the member of the Most Ancient Church things of the will had been united to those of the understanding, as they are with celestial angels too. But with the member of this Church they were not united, nor are they united with the spiritual man. It still seems as though the good of charity which he does is the product of his will, but that is solely an appearance and illusion. All the good of charity which he does is the Lord's alone, coming not by way of the will but of conscience. If the Lord were to let up only slightly and allow a person to act from his own will, he would, from hatred, revenge, and cruelty, perform evil instead of good.

[5] The same applies to the truth which a spiritual man thinks and speaks. Unless he thought and spoke from conscience, and so from good that is the Lord's, he could no more think and speak what is true than the devil's crew when impersonating angels of light. This is perfectly obvious in the next life. From these considerations it is clear how regeneration is accomplished and what the regeneration of a spiritual man is. It is the separation of the understanding part of his mind from the will part by means of conscience, which is formed by the Lord in that understanding part. What is performed in this manner seemingly springs from his own will, but in fact it does so from the Lord.
