1 Ja Jumala puhui kaikki nämät sanat, sanoen:

2 (1) Minä (olen) Herra sinun Jumalas; joka sinun Egyptin maalta orjuuden huoneesta ulos vienyt olen.

3 Ei sinun pidä muita jumalia pitämän minun edessäni.

4 Ei sinun pidä tekemän sinulles kuvaa eikä jonkun muotoa, niiden jotka ylhäällä taivaassa ovat, eli niiden, jotka alhaalla ovat maan päällä, eikä niiden, jotka vesissä maan alla ovat.

5 Ei sinun pidä kumartaman niitä, eikä myös palveleman niitä: Sillä minä, Herra sinun Jumalas, olen kiivas Jumala, joka etsiskelen isäin pahat teot lasten päälle, kolmanteen ja neljänteen polveen, jotka minua vihaavat;

6 Ja teen laupiuden monelle tuhannelle, jotka minua rakastavat, ja pitävät minun käskyni.

7 (2) Ei sinun pidä turhaan lausuman sinun Herras Jumalas nimeä; sillä ei Herra pidä sitä rankaisemata, joka hänen nimensä turhaan lausuu.

8 (3) Muista sabbatin päivää, ettäs sen pyhittäisit.

9 Kuusi päivää pitää sinun työtä tekemän ja kaikki askarees toimittaman.

10 Mutta seitsemäntenä päivänä on Herra sinun Jumalas sabbati: silloin ei sinun pidä yhtään työtä tekemän, eikä sinun, eikä sinun poikas, eikä sinun tyttäres, eikä sinun palvelias, eikä sinun piikas, eikä sinun juhtas, eikä sinun muukalaises, joka sinun portissas on.

11 Sillä kuutena päivänä on Herra, taivaan ja maan ja meren tehnyt, ja kaikki mitä niissä ovat, ja lepäsi seitsemäntenä päivänä. Sentähden siunasi Herra sabbatin päivän, ja pyhitti sen.

12 (4) Sinun pitää kunnioittaman isääs ja äitiäs, ettäs kauvan eläisit maan päällä, jonka Herra sinun Jumalas antaa sinulle.

13 (5) Ei sinun pidä tappaman.

14 (6) Ei sinun pidä huorin tekemän.

15 (7) Ei sinun pidä varastaman.

16 (8) Ei sinun pidä väärää todistusta sanoman sinun lähimmäistäs vastaan.

17 (9) Ei sinun pidä pyytämän sinun lähimmäises huonetta. (10) Ei sinun pidä himoitseman sinun lähimmäises emäntää, eikä hänen palveliaansa, eikä piikaansa, eikä hänen härkäänsä, eikä mitään mikä sinun lähimmäises on.

18 Ja kaikki kansa näki pitkäisen jylinän, ja tulen leimaukset, ja basunan helinän, ja vuoren suitsevan: ja koska he sen näkivät, niin he pakenivat ja seisahtuivat taamma.

19 Niin he sanoivat Mosekselle: puhu sinä meidän kanssamme, ja me kuulemme: ja älkään Jumala meidän kanssamme puhuko, ettemme kuolisi.

20 Ja Moses sanoi kansalle: älkäät peljätkö; sillä Jumala on tullut teitä koettelemaan, ja että hänen pelkonsa olis teidän edessänne, ettette syntiä tekisi.

21 Ja kansa seisahtui taamma; mutta Moses meni sen pimeyden tykö, jossa Jumala oli.

22 Ja Herra sanoi Mosekselle: niin sinun pitää Israelin lapsille sanoman: te olette nähneet, että minä olen taivaasta teidän kanssanne puhunut.

23 Ei teidän pidä tekemän epäjumalia minun sivuuni: hopiaisia jumalia, ja kultaisia jumalia ei teidän pidä teillenne tekemän.

24 Tee alttari maasta minulle, jonka päälle sinun pitää polttouhris ja kiitosuhris, sinun lampaas ja karjas uhraaman: mihinkä paikkaan ikänänsä minä säädän minun nimeni muiston, sinne minä tulen sinun tykös, ja siunaan sinua.

25 Ja jos sinä teet minulle kivisen alttarin, niin älä tee sitä vuoltuista kivistä: jos sinä siihen veitses satutat, niin sinä sen saastutat.

26 Ei myös sinun pidä astumilla minun alttarilleni astuman, ettei sinun häpiäs sen päällä paljastettaisi.

Apocalypse Explained # 1012

1012. Verse 17. And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air, signifies the state of the church manifested in regard to all things of thought. This is evident from the signification of "the angel pouring out the vial," as being the state of the church manifested (as above); also from the signification of the "air," as being thought, here everything of thought, because the last state of the church is here described; therefore when this state has been manifested it is said, "It is done," that is, it is consummated. The "air" signifies thought because respiration, which is effected by means of the air, corresponds to thought, which is of the understanding, as the motion of the heart corresponds to affection, which is of the will. That the respiration of the lungs corresponds to thought is clearly evident from the fact that they operate simultaneously and harmoniously, for as man thinks so he breathes. If he thinks quietly he breathes quietly, and reversely if forcibly. If he thinks intensely and interiorly in himself, respiration is gradually arrested and withdrawn. Thus man varies the state of his respiration in accommodation to every state of his thought. The reason of this is that man has two lives, namely, the life of the understanding and the life of the will; and all things of the body correspond to these two lives of the mind. Thus in general the life of the respiration corresponds to the life of the understanding and consequent thought; and the life of the motion of the heart corresponds to the life of the will and the consequent love. These two lives are meant by "soul" and "heart" in the Word, where it is said "with the whole soul and with the whole heart," which signifies with the whole understanding and the whole will, or with every thought which is of faith and with every affection which is of love. This is said to make known that the "air," since respiration is effected by it, signifies thought.

[2] "The last vial was poured out into the air," because all things of man close into his thoughts. For such as a man is as to the church and as to the goods and truths of the church, also as to love, in a word, such as he is as to his spiritual, moral, and civil life, such is he as to thought. This can be perceived especially in the spiritual world. When any angel goes out of his own society into a society not his own his breathing labors, because he is not thinking from a like affection. So, too, when an infernal spirit ascends into an angelic society he comes into distress of breathing, and thus into anguish, or into fantasy, or into blindness of thought; which makes clear that such as a man is such is his thought.

(The Seventh Commandment) 1

[3] In what now follows something shall be said about the seventh commandment, which is, "Thou shalt not kill." In all the commandments of the Decalogue, as in all things of the Word, two internal senses are involved (besides the highest which is a third), one that is next to the letter and is called the spiritual moral sense, another that is more remote and is called the spiritual celestial sense. The nearest sense of this commandment, "Thou shalt not kill," which is the spiritual moral sense, is that one must not hate his brother or neighbor, and thus not defame or slander him; for thus he would injure or kill his reputation and honor, which is the source of his life among his brethren, which is called his civil life, and afterwards he would live in society as one dead, for he would be numbered among the vile and wicked, with whom no one would associate. When this is done from enmity, from hatred, or from revenge, it is murder. Moreover, by many in the world this life is counted and esteemed in equal measure with the life of the body. And before the angels in the heavens he that destroys this life is held to be as guilty as if he had destroyed the bodily life of his brother. For enmity, hatred, and revenge, breathe murder and will it; but they are restrained and curbed by fear of the law, of resistance, and of loss of reputation. And yet these three are endeavors towards murder; and every endeavor is like an act, for it goes forth into act when fear is removed. This is what the Lord teaches in Matthew:

Ye have heard that it was said to them of old, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be liable to the judgment. But I say unto you, that whosoever is angry with his brother rashly shall be liable to the judgment; whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be liable to the council; but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be liable to the Gehenna of fire (Matthew 5:21-26).

This may be seen explained above (n. 693, 746).

[4] But the more remote sense of this commandment, "Thou shalt not kill," which is called the celestial spiritual sense, is that one shall not take away from man the faith and love of God, and thus his spiritual life. This is murder itself, because from this life man is a man, the life of the body serving this life as the instrumental cause serves its principal cause. Moreover, from this spiritual murder moral murder is derived; consequently one who is in the one is also in the other; for he who wills to take away a man's spiritual life is in hatred against him if he cannot take it away, for he hates the faith and love with him, and thus the man himself. These three, namely, spiritual murder, which pertains to faith and love, moral murder, which pertains to reputation and honor, and natural murder, which pertains to the body, follow in a series one from the other, like cause and effect.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. This order of the commandments reverses their usual order against killing and stealing. This order is found in the Septuagint. Elsewhere in treating of the Decalogue (in Arcana Coelestia, Doctrine of Life, and True Christian Religion) the traditional order is followed.
