5 Mose 6

Studie

   

1 Dies sind aber die Gesetze und Gebote und Rechte, die euch der HERR, euer Gott, geboten hat, daß ihr sie lernen und tun sollt in dem Lande, dahin ihr ziehet, es einzunehmen,

2 daß du den HERRN, deinen Gott, fürchtest und haltest alle seine Rechte und Gebote, die ich dir gebiete, du und deine Kinder und deine Kindeskinder, alle eure Lebtage, auf daß ihr lange lebt.

3 Israel, du sollst hören und behalten, daß du es tust, daß dir's wohl gehe und du sehr vermehrt werdest, wie der HERR, deiner Väter Gott, dir verheißen hat ein Land, darin Milch und Honig fließt.

4 Höre, Israel, der HERR, unser Gott, ist ein einiger HERR.

5 Und du sollst den HERRN, deinen Gott, liebhaben von ganzem Herzen, von ganzer Seele, von allem Vermögen.

6 Und diese Worte, die ich dir heute gebiete, sollst du zu Herzen nehmen

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

8 und sollst sie binden zum Zeichen auf deine Hand, und sollen dir ein Denkmal vor deinen Augen sein,

9 und sollst sie über deines Hauses Pfosten schreiben und an die Tore.

10 Wenn dich nun der HERR, dein Gott, in das Land bringen wird, das er deinen Vätern Abraham, Isaak und Jakob geschworen hat dir zu geben, große und feine Städte, die du nicht gebaut hast,

11 und Häuser, alles Guts voll, die du nicht gefüllt hast und ausgehauene Brunnen, die du nicht ausgehauen hast, und Weinberge und Ölberge, die du nicht gepflanzt hast, daß du essest und satt werdest;

12 so hüte dich, daß du nicht des HERRN vergessest, der dich aus Ägyptenland, aus dem Diensthaus, geführt hat;

13 sondern du den HERRN, deinen Gott, fürchten und ihm dienen und bei seinem Namen schwören.

14 Und sollst nicht andern Göttern nachfolgen der Völker, die um euch her sind

15 denn der HERR, dein Gott, ist ein eifriger Gott unter dir, daß nicht der Zorn des HERRN, deines Gottes, über dich ergrimme und vertilge dich von der Erde.

16 Ihr sollt den HERRN, euren Gott, nicht versuchen, wie ihr ihn versuchtet zu Massa,

17 sondern sollt halten die Gebote des HERRN, eures Gottes, und seine Zeugnisse und Rechte, die er geboten hat,

18 daß du tust, was recht und gut ist vor den Augen des HERRN, auf daß dir's wohl gehe und du hineinkommest und einnehmest das gute Land, das der HERR geschworen hat deinen Vätern,

19 daß er verjage alle deine Feinde vor dir, wie der HERR geredet hat.

20 Wenn dich aber dein Sohn heute oder morgen fragen wird und sagen: Was sind das für Zeugnisse, Gebote und Rechte, die euch der HERR, unser Gott, geboten hat?

21 so sollst du deinem Sohn sagen: Wir waren Knechte des Pharao in Ägypten, und der HERR führte uns aus Ägypten mit mächtiger Hand,

22 und der HERR tat große und böse Zeichen und Wunder an Ägypten und Pharao und allem seinem Hause vor unsern Augen

23 und führte uns von dannen, auf daß er uns einführte und gäbe uns das Land, das er unsern Vätern geschworen hatte;

24 und der HERR hat uns geboten, zu tun nach allen diesen Rechten, daß wir den HERRN, unsern Gott, fürchten, auf daß es uns wohl gehe alle unsre Lebtage, wie es geht heutigestages;

25 und es wird unsre Gerechtigkeit sein vor dem HERRN, unserm Gott, so wir tun und halten alle diese Gebote, 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.
