maastamuutto 22

Studie

   

1 "Jos joku varastaa härän tai lampaan ja teurastaa tahi myy sen, antakoon viisi raavasta yhdestä härästä ja neljä lammasta yhdestä lampaasta.

2 Jos varas tavataan murtautumasta sisälle ja lyödään kuoliaaksi, ei tappaja ole vereen vikapää.

3 Mutta jos aurinko jo oli noussut, niin tappaja on vereen vikapää. Varas maksakoon korvauksen; mutta jos hänellä ei ole mitään, niin myytäköön hänet varastamansa tavaran korvaukseksi.

4 Jos varastettu eläin, olipa se härkä, aasi tai lammas, tavataan hänen hallustaan elävänä, niin korvatkoon sen kaksinkertaisesti.

5 Jos joku turmelee toiselta pellon tai viinitarhan päästämällä siihen karjansa ja syöttämällä sitä toisen pellossa, antakoon korvaukseksi peltonsa tai viinitarhansa parhaimman kasvun.

6 Jos tuli pääsee irti ja tarttuu orjantappuroihin ja jos kuhilaat tai vilja tai pelto palaa, niin korvatkoon vahingon se, joka on kulovalkean sytyttänyt.

7 Jos joku antaa toiselle rahaa tai tavaraa säilytettäväksi ja se varastetaan tämän talosta, niin varas, jos hänet tavataan, korvatkoon sen kaksinkertaisesti.

8 Mutta jos varasta ei tavata, astukoon talon omistaja Jumalan eteen ja vannokoon, ettei hän ole kädellänsä kajonnut toisen omaan.

9 Jokaisessa anastusasiassa, koskipa se härkää tai aasia tai lammasta tai vaatetta tai mitä tahansa kadonnutta, josta joku sanoo: 'Tämä se on', tulkoon kummankin asia Jumalan eteen; ja se, jonka Jumala tuomitsee syylliseksi, korvatkoon toiselle kaksinkertaisesti.

10 Jos joku antaa toiselle aasin tai härän tai lampaan tai minkä eläimen tahansa säilytettäväksi ja se kuolee tai vahingoittuu tai ryöstetään pois kenenkään näkemättä,

11 niin vala Herran edessä ratkaiskoon heidän välillään, onko toinen kädellänsä kajonnut toisen omaan; omistaja hyväksyköön valan, ja toinen olkoon korvauksesta vapaa.

12 Mutta jos se on häneltä varastettu, korvatkoon sen omistajalle.

13 Jos se on raadeltu, tuokoon sen esiin todistukseksi, eikä hänen tarvitse raadeltua korvata.

14 Jos joku lainaa toiselta elukan ja se vahingoittuu tai kuolee eikä sen omistaja ole saapuvilla, korvatkoon sen.

15 Jos sen omistaja on saapuvilla, ei tarvitse korvausta maksaa; jos se oli vuokralla, olkoon vuokra korvauksena.

16 Jos joku viettelee neitsyen, joka ei ole kihlattu, ja makaa hänet, maksakoon hänestä morsiamenhinnan ja ottakoon hänet vaimokseen.

17 Jos isä kieltäytyy antamasta häntä hänelle, maksakoon mies rahassa morsiamenhinnan niinkuin neitsyestä.

18 Velhonaisen älä salli elää.

19 Jokainen, joka sekaantuu eläimeen, rangaistakoon kuolemalla.

20 Joka uhraa muille jumalille kuin Herralle, ainoalle, olkoon vihitty tuhon omaksi.

21 Älä sorra äläkä ahdista muukalaista, sillä te olette itse olleet muukalaisina Egyptin maassa.

22 Älkää sortako leskeä tai orpoa.

23 Sillä jos sinä sorrat heitä ja he huutavat minua avuksensa, niin minä totisesti kuulen heidän huutonsa,

24 ja minun vihani syttyy, ja minä surmaan teidät miekalla, niin että teidän vaimonne joutuvat leskiksi ja lapsenne orvoiksi.

25 Jos lainaat rahaa jollekin minun kansastani, jollekin köyhälle, joka on sinun luonasi, niin älä menettele koronkiskurin tavoin häntä kohtaan. Älkää panko korkoa hänen maksettavakseen.

26 Jos sinä olet lähimmäiseltäsi ottanut pantiksi vaipan, anna se hänelle takaisin, ennenkuin aurinko laskee;

27 sillä se on hänen ainoa peitteensä, johon hän käärii ruumiinsa. Missä hän muutoin makaisi? Ja jos hän huutaa minua avukseen, kuulen minä häntä, sillä minä olen laupias.

28 Jumalaa älä herjaa, ja kansasi ruhtinasta älä kiroa.

29 Älä viivyttele antamasta antia vilja-ja mehusatosi runsaudesta. Esikoinen pojistasi anna minulle.

30 Samoin tee raavaittesi ja lampaittesi ensiksisyntyneelle. Seitsemän päivää se olkoon emänsä kanssa; kahdeksantena päivänä anna se minulle.

31 Ja te olkaa minulle pyhä kansa. Älkää syökö kedolla raadellun eläimen lihaa, vaan heittäkää se koirille."

9199. 'Or orphan' means those who possess truth but not as yet good, and still have a desire for good. This is clear from the meaning of 'orphan' as those who possess truth and have a desire for good. Such people are meant by 'orphans' because sons bereft of father and mother, that is, those deprived of interior goodness and truth, are orphans. For 'father' in the Word means interior good, and 'mother' truth joined to that good, 5581; but 'sons' means truths derived from them. For the meaning of 'sons' as truths, see 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2813, 3373, 6583. The fact that sons and not daughters are meant here by 'orphans' is evident from verse 24 below, where it says, And your sons will be orphans. The reason why sons who are orphans are those who desire good is that the Lord then stands in place of their father, according to the following words in David,

A father of the orphans, and a judge of the widows, is God in the habitation of His holiness. Psalms 68:5.

[2] 'Orphans' are those who have received instruction in the Church's truths of faith which come from the Word, and who are then led by means of those truths to good. This is also evident from the Lord's words in John,

I will ask the Father to give you another Paraclete, to remain with you forever, the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, because He remains with you and is among you. I will not leave you orphans, I will come to you. These things I have spoken to you, while I remain with you; but the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, He will teach you all things. John 14:16-18, 24-26.

[3] Every detail of these verses makes it clear that those are 'orphans' who possess truths and have a desire for good. 'The Paraclete' is used to mean Divine Truth, which the Lord was when He was in the world and which has emanated from Him ever since He glorified His Human and went away from the world. Therefore He says that He will send the Paraclete and that He Himself will come. 'Sending the Paraclete' means enlightening and instructing them in the truths of faith, and 'coming to them' means leading them on to good. This is why He says, I will not leave you orphans. As has been stated, 'the Paraclete' is used to mean Divine Truth, which the Lord was when He was in the world and which has emanated from Him ever since He glorified His Human and went away from the world. This was something the Lord taught plainly several times; yet those who identify persons in the Godhead and not essences united into one do not grasp it. For the explanation of the Word and the understanding of it by a person depend on the ideas he already has. The same applies to places where the Lord says that He is in the Father, and the Father is in Him; that the Father and He are One; also that all that is His is the Father's, and all that is the Father's is His, John 10:30; 14:1-11, 20; 16:15; 17:11.

[4] But let these truths stated above receive further explanation.

The Paraclete is used to mean Divine Truth

This is evident from the Lord's actual words; for the Paraclete is called 'the Spirit of truth' by Him, and also He says, 'the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, will teach you all things'.

The Lord was Divine Truth when He was in the world

This too is evident from the Lord's words there; for He says that He will send 'another Paraclete' (that is, another in place of Himself), who will be the Spirit of truth, and - referring to Himself - that they know Him 'because He remains with you and is among you'. He also says, I tell you the truth. If I do not go away the Paraclete will not come to you; but if I go away I will send Him to you, John 16:7. Another place, John 7:39, states, 'This He said concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not yet glorified'. And other places again state that He is the way and the truth, John 14:6; also that He is the Word, that God is the Word, and that the Word became flesh, John 1:1-3, 14, 'the Word' being Divine Truth. For more about the Lord's being Divine Truth when He was in the world, see 3195, 4687, 4727, 6716, 6864, 7499, 8127, 8724.

[5] Divine Truth has emanated from the Lord ever since He glorified His Human and went away from the world This too is evident from the Lord's words, 'When I go away I will send the Spirit of truth to you' ('sending' means going out and emanating from, 2397, 4710), and also 'When He comes He will guide you into all truth; 1 for He will not speak from Himself, but whatever He hears He will speak. He will glorify Me, for He will receive from what is Mine and declare it to you', John 16:7, 13-15.

When the Lord went away from the world His Human became Divine Good as well as Divine Truth, see 3704, 3712, 3737, 3969, 4577, 5704, 6864, 7014, 7499, 8241, 8724, 8760, 9167. And since then Divine Truth has emanated from Divine Good, which He Himself is, as the light of all creation emanates from the sun, 3636, 3643, 3969, 5704, 7083, 8127. The references listed above in 9194 may be added to these.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. The Latin means He will teach you in all truth but the Greek means He will guide you into all truth, which Swedenborg has in other places where he quotes this verse.
