Exodus 23

Studie

   

1 Ära levita valekuuldusi! Ära löö kätt õelaga, et sa ei saaks valetunnistajaks!

2 Ära järgne jõugule kurja tegema ja ära kosta riiuasjas jõugu järele paindudes, et sa õigust ei väänaks!

3 Ära ole viletsa kasuks erapoolik tema riiuasjas!

4 Kui sa kohtad oma vihamehe eksinud härga või eeslit, siis vii see temale tagasi!

5 Kui sa näed oma vihamehe eeslit koorma all lamamas, siis ära jäta teda maha, vaid aita ta lahti päästa!

6 Ära vääna su juures oleva vaese õigust tema riiuasjas!

7 Pettusasjast hoia eemale; ja sa ei tohi tappa süütut ega õiget, sest mina ei mõista õigeks ühtki õelat!

8 Ära võta meelehead, sest meelehea pimestab nägijaid ja teeb õigete asjad segaseks!

9 Võõrale ära tee häda: te ju mõistate võõra hinge, sest te ise olete olnud võõrad Egiptusemaal!

10 Kuus aastat külva oma maale ja kogu sellelt saaki,

11 aga seitsmendal jäta see koristamata ja harimata, et su rahva vaesed saaksid sealt süüa; ja mis neist järele jääb, seda söögu metsloomad! Samuti talita ka oma viinamäe ja õlipuudega!

12 Kuus päeva tee oma tööd, aga seitsmendal päeval puhka, et su härg ja eesel kosuksid, ja su teenija poeg ning võõras saaksid hingata!

13 Kõik, mis ma teile olen rääkinud, pidage meeles! Teiste jumalate nimesid ei tohi te nimetada, ärgu seda kuuldagu sinu suust!

14 Kolm korda aastas pead mulle püha pidama!

15 Pea hapnemata leibade püha: seitse päeva söö hapnemata leiba, nõnda nagu ma sind olen käskinud, määratud ajal aabibikuus, sest siis sa tulid Egiptusest välja; aga tühje käsi ei tohi tulla mu palge ette!

16 Ja pea lõikuspüha oma varajase vilja saagile, mille oled külvanud põllule; ja vilja kokkupanemise püha aasta lõpus, kui sa oma saagi põllult koristad!

17 Kolm korda aastas peab kogu su meessugu tulema Issanda Jumala palge ette!

18 Sa ei tohi ohverdada mu tapaohvri verd haput leiba süües, ja mu pühade ohvrirasv ei tohi seista üle öö hommikuni!

19 Parim oma põllu uudseviljast vii Issanda, oma Jumala kotta! Ära keeda kitsetalle ta ema piimas!

20 Vaata, mina läkitan sinu eel ingli sind tee peal hoidma ja sind viima paika, mille ma olen valmistanud.

21 Ole valvel tema ees ja kuula ta häält, ära vihasta teda; sest ta ei andesta teie üleastumist, sellepärast et temas on minu nimi!

22 Aga kui sa tõesti kuulad tema häält ja teed kõike, mida ma käsin, siis ma olen sinu vaenlaste vaenlane ja vastaste vastane.

23 Sest minu ingel läheb sinu eel ja viib sind emorlaste, hettide, perislaste, kaananlaste, hiivlaste ja jebuuslaste juurde ja mina hävitan need.

24 Ära kummarda nende jumalaid ja ära teeni neid! Ja ära tee ka nende rahvaste tegude järgi, vaid kisu maha sootuks nende jumalad ja purusta täiesti nende ebaususambad!

25 Te peate aga teenima Issandat, oma Jumalat, siis ta õnnistab sinu leiba ja vett! Ja ma hoian tõve sinust eemal.

26 Enneaegselt sünnitajat ega sigimatut ei ole su maal. Ja ma teen täielikuks sinu päevade arvu.

27 Ma läkitan sinu eele hirmu ja viin segadusse kõik rahvad, kelle juurde sa tuled, ja teen, et kõik su vaenlased näitavad sulle selga.

28 Ma läkitan sinu eele masenduse, et see ajaks su eest ära hiivlased, kaananlased ja hetid.

29 Ma ei aja neid su eest ära ühe aastaga, et maa ei jääks tühjaks ja sulle ei sigineks metsloomi.

30 Ma ajan nad sinu eest ära vähehaaval, seni kui sa sigined ja pärid maa.

31 Ja ma annan sulle maa-ala Kõrkjamerest vilistite mereni ja kõrbest kuni Frati jõeni, sest ma annan maa elanikud teie kätte ja sina ajad need ära enese eest.

32 Sa ei tohi teha lepingut nendega ega nende jumalatega!

33 Nemad ei tohi jääda elama su maale, et nad ei mõjustaks sind minu vastu pattu tegema; sest kui sa nende jumalaid teenid, siis saab see sulle püüdepaelaks!'

9290. As I commanded thee. That this signifies in accordance with the laws of order, is evident from the signification of “commanding,” when by the Lord, as being the Divine truth proceeding from Him, for this contains and teaches the commandments of life and of worship. This Divine truth is order itself in the heavens; and truths are the laws of this order (see n. 1728, 1919, 2258, 2447, 5703, 7995, 8700, 8988). From this it is evident that by “as I commanded thee” is signified in accordance with the laws of order.

8700. For the word is too heavy for thee. That this signifies that it is not possible because not in conformity with order, is evident from the signification of “a heavy word,” as being that it is not possible. That “a heavy word” here denotes that it is not possible, is evident from what precedes, namely, that “wearing he would wear away, and the people that were with him,” by which is signified that the truth which has been implanted would perish; and also from what follows, namely, “Thou art not able to do it, thou alone;” and afterward, “If thou do this word, thou shalt be able to stand;” by which is meant impossibility unless a change is made.

[2] That it is not possible because not in conformity with order, is because in the other life everything is possible that is in conformity with order. The Divine truth which proceeds from the Lord is what makes order, and is order itself. Consequently as everything that is according to Divine truth is according to order, it is possible; and as everything that is contrary to Divine truth is contrary to order, it is impossible. That this is the case may appear more evident from examples. It is according to order that they who have lived well shall be saved, and that they who have lived ill shall be condemned. Hence it is impossible that they who have lived well should be sent into hell, and that they who have lived ill should be raised into heaven. Consequently it is impossible that they who are in hell can of the Lord’s pure mercy be brought out therefrom into heaven and be saved; for it is the reception of the Lord’s mercy while they lived in the world through which everyone is saved. They who receive it then are in the other life in the Lord’s mercy, for they are then in the capacity of receiving it there. To give it to others, and in general to everyone at pleasure, provided they have faith, and thus believe that they are cleansed from sins, is impossible, because it is contrary to order, that is, contrary to the Divine which is order.

[3] It is according to order that faith and charity be implanted in freedom and not under compulsion, and that the faith and charity which have been implanted in freedom, endure; but not if they have been implanted under compulsion. The reason is that what is done in freedom is insinuated into the affection, and thus into the will of man, and is therefore appropriated; but not what is done under compulsion. Consequently it is impossible for man to be saved unless, seeing that he has been born in evil, he is allowed to do evil, and to desist from evil. When in this freedom he desists from evil of himself, the affection of truth and good is insinuated by the Lord, whereby he has freedom to receive the things which are of faith and charity, for freedom belongs to the affection. From this it is plain that it is impossible to compel man to salvation. If this could be done, all men in the world would be saved.

[4] It is according to order for all in the other life to be associated together according to the life which they have acquired to themselves in the world; the evil with the evil, and the good with the good. Consequently it is not possible for the evil and the good to be together; neither is it possible for those to be in good who are evil, because good and evil are opposites, and the one destroys the other. For this reason also it is plain that it is not possible for those to be saved who are in hell; thus that it is not possible for salvation to be from mercy alone however a man has lived. They who are in hell and are there tormented, impute the torments there to the Divine, saying that the Divine can take away their torment if He will, because He is omnipotent; but that He will not, and that therefore He is the cause of their torment; for he who can and will not, they say, is the cause. But to take away such torments is impossible, because it is contrary to order; for if they were taken away, the evil would rise up against the good, and would subjugate the angels themselves, and destroy heaven. But the Divine wills nothing but good, namely, the happiness of the good, and for the sake of this, the bridling, and at the same time, the amendment, of the wicked. This being the end-the end of the Divine love and of mercy itself-it is not possible that torments should be taken away from him who is in hell. From these examples it can be seen that everything is impossible which is contrary to order, howsoever it may appear as possible to those who do not know the arcana of heaven.
