5 Mose 6

Studie

   

1 Und dies sind die Gebote, (W. das Gebot) die Satzungen und die echte, welche Jehova, euer Gott, geboten hat, euch zu lehren, damit ihr sie tuet in dem Lande, wohin ihr hinüberziehet, um es in Besitz zu nehmen;

2 auf daß du Jehova, deinen Gott, fürchtest alle Tage deines Lebens, um zu beobachten alle seine Satzungen und seine Gebote, die ich dir gebiete, du und dein Sohn und deines Sohnes Sohn, und auf daß sich deine Tage sich verlängern.

3 So höre denn, Israel, und achte darauf, sie zu tun, damit es dir wohlgehe, und ihr euch sehr mehret-so wie Jehova, der Gott deiner Väter, zu dir geredet hat-in einem Lande, das von Milch und Honig fließt!

4 Höre Israel: Jehova, unser Gott, ist ein einziger Jehova! (d. h. einzig und allein derjenige, welchem der Name Jehova zukommt. (Vergl. Sach. 14,9))

5 Und du sollst Jehova, deinen Gott, lieben mit deinem ganzen Herzen und mit deiner ganzen Seele und mit deiner ganzen Kraft.

6 Und diese Worte, die ich dir heute gebiete, sollen auf deinem Herzen sein.

7 Und du sollst sie deinen Kindern einschärfen und davon reden, wenn du in deinem Hause sitzest, und wenn du auf dem Wege gehst, und wenn du dich niederlegst, und wenn du aufstehst.

8 Und du sollst sie zum Zeichen auf deine Hand binden, und sie sollen zu Stirnbändern sein zwischen deinen Augen;

9 und du sollst sie auf die Pfosten deines Hauses und an deine Tore schreiben.

10 Und es soll geschehen, wenn Jehova, dein Gott, dich in das Land bringt, das er deinen Vätern, Abraham, Isaak und Jakob, geschworen hat, dir zu geben: große und gute Städte, die du nicht gebaut hast,

11 und Häuser, voll von allem Gut, die du nicht gefüllt, und gehauene Cisternen, die du nicht gehauen, Weinberge und Olivengärten, die du nicht gepflanzt hast, und du essen und satt werden wirst:

12 so hüte dich, daß du Jehovas nicht vergessest, der dich herausgeführt hat aus dem Lande Ägypten, aus dem Hause der Knechtschaft.

13 Jehova, deinen Gott, sollst du fürchten und ihm dienen, und bei seinem Namen sollst du schwören.

14 Ihr sollt nicht anderen Göttern nachgehen, von den Göttern der Völker, die rings um euch her sind;

15 denn ein eifernder Gott (El) ist Jehova, dein Gott, in deiner Mitte: damit nicht der Zorn Jehovas, deines Gottes, wider dich entbrenne, und er dich vertilge vom Erdboden hinweg.

16 Ihr sollt Jehova, euren Gott, nicht versuchen, wie ihr ihn zu Massa versucht habt.

17 Ihr sollt fleißig beobachten die Gebote Jehovas, eures Gottes, und seine Zeugnisse und seine Satzungen, die er dir geboten hat.

18 Und du sollst tun, was recht und gut ist in den Augen Jehovas, auf daß es dir wohlgehe und du hineinkommest und das gute Land in Besitz nehmest, welches Jehova deinen Vätern zugeschworen hat,

19 indem er alle deine Feinde vor dir ausstößt, so wie Jehova geredet hat.

20 Wenn dein Sohn dich künftig fragt und spricht: Was bedeuten die Zeugnisse und die Satzungen und die echte, welche Jehova, unser Gott, euch geboten hat?

21 so sollst du deinem Sohne sagen: Wir waren Knechte des Pharao in Ägypten, und Jehova hat uns mit starker Hand aus Ägypten herausgeführt;

22 und Jehova tat vor unseren Augen große und verderbenbringende Zeichen und Wunder an Ägypten, an dem Pharao und an seinem ganzen Hause;

23 und uns führte er von dannen heraus, um uns herzubringen, uns das Land zu geben, welches er unseren Vätern zugeschworen hat.

24 Und Jehova hat uns geboten, alle diese Satzungen zu tun, Jehova, unseren Gott, zu fürchten, uns zum Guten alle Tage, daß er uns am Leben erhalte, wie es an diesem Tage ist.

25 Und es wird unsere Gerechtigkeit sein, wenn wir darauf achten, dieses ganze Gebot vor Jehova, unserem Gott, zu tun, so wie er uns geboten hat.

8972. Verse 1 And these are the judgements which you shall set before them means those more external truths such as must exist in a civic state where the Church is representative, which flow from the internal truths belonging to order in heaven. The fact that these things are meant by 'the judgements that were to be set before the children of Israel' is clear from the meaning of 'judgements' as truths, dealt with in 2235, 6397, 7206, 8685, 8695. The reason why 'judgements' are truths is that all judgement is effected by means of truths; therefore 'executing judgement' in the Word means executing truth, that is, judging in accordance with truths. But the plural 'judgements' means civil laws, thus those more external truths such as exist in a civic state. The words 'where the Church is representative' are added because these truths contain and embody within themselves the truths that belong to order in heaven, as may be recognized from the internal sense of them.

[2] The laws which the Lord delivered to the children of Israel and commanded them to keep were divided into commandments, judgements, and statutes. The term 'commandments' was given to those which were laws of life, 'judgements' to those which were laws of the civic state, and 'statutes' to those which were laws of worship. As regards judgements specifically, they are the kinds of laws that are contained in the present chapter and also some that follow. They served as laws in a Church in which inner realities, those of heaven and of the Church, were represented by outward things; but they do not serve as laws in a Church in which inner realities are no longer represented by outward things, as in the Christian Church. The reason for this is that inner realities have been revealed to people of this Church, and therefore inner realities are the channel through which contact is made with heaven, not outward things, as had been the situation before the Christian Church. Here is the reason why members of the Christian Church are not bound to adhere to the outward requirements of the laws called judgements and statutes, only to the inward ones. Holiness still remains within them because they hold holy truths within them, as also does every single command in the Word regarding the sacrifices. Although these are no longer prescriptive laws they remain holy constituents of the Word because of the Divine realities which they hold within themselves and which they represented. For when they are read by a Christian the Divine realities which are held within them and which were represented by them are discerned in heaven. They fill the angels with holiness, and at the same time the reader too through influx from the angels, especially if the reader himself is thinking at the same time about the Divine realities within them. From this it is evident that even the Old Testament Word is extremely holy.

[3] The fact that the laws which the Lord delivered to the children of Israel and commanded them to keep were divided into commandments that were laws of life, judgements that were laws of the civic state, and statutes that were laws of worship, is evident in Moses,

Jehovah said to Moses, Go, say to them, Go back into your tents. But you, stand here with Me, that I may tell you all the commandments, and statutes, and judgements which you shall teach them, so that they may do them. Deuteronomy 5:30-31.

In the same author,

Furthermore these are the commandments, statutes, and judgements which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you. Deuteronomy 6:1.

In the same author,

Therefore you shall keep the commandments and the statutes and the judgments which I am commanding you today, to do them. Deuteronomy 7:11.

In David,

If his sons forsake My law and do not walk in My judgements, if they profane My statutes and do not keep My commandments, I will visit their transgression with the rod. Psalms 89:30-32.

[4] Furthermore all the laws, in that they were those of a representative Church, were generally called judgements and statutes, as in Moses,

Now therefore, O Israel, hear the statutes and the judgements which I will teach you, that you may do them. What great nation [is there] that has righteous statutes and judgements, like all this law which I will set before you today? Deuteronomy 4:1, 8; 5:1.

In Ezekiel.

Jerusalem has changed My judgements into wickedness more than the nations, and My statutes more than the lands that are around her; for they have repudiated My judgements, and have not walked in My statutes. Ezekiel 5:6-7.

In the same prophet,

Let him 1 walk in My statutes and keep My judgements - to do the truth. Ezekiel 18:9.

In addition to these there are many other places, such as Leviticus 18:5; 19:37; 20:22; 25:18; 26:15; Deuteronomy 26:17; Ezekiel 11:12, 20; 20:11, 13, 25; 37:24.
