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!

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.
