1 Αυται δε ειναι αι κρισεις, τας οποιας θελεις εκθεσει εμπροσθεν αυτων.

2 Εαν αγορασης δουλον Εβραιον, εξ ετη θελει δουλευσει· εν δε τω εβδομω θελει εξελθει ελευθερος, δωρεαν.

3 Εαν εισηλθε μονος, μονος θελει εξελθει· εαν ειχε γυναικα, τοτε η γυνη αυτου θελει εξελθει μετ' αυτου.

4 Εαν ο κυριος αυτου εδωκεν εις αυτον γυναικα, και εγεννησεν εις αυτον υιους η θυγατερας, η γυνη και τα τεκνα αυτης θελουσιν εισθαι του κυριου αυτης, αυτος δε θελει εξελθει μονος.

5 Αλλ' εαν ο δουλος ειπη φανερα, Αγαπω τον κυριον μου, την γυναικα μου και τα τεκνα μου, δεν θελω εξελθει ελευθερος·

6 τοτε ο κυριος αυτου θελει φερει αυτον προς τους κριτας· και θελει φερει αυτον εις την θυραν η εις τον παραστατην της θυρας, και ο κυριος αυτου θελει τρυπησει το ωτιον αυτου με τρυπητηριον· και θελει δουλευει αυτον διαπαντος.

7 Και εαν τις πωληση την θυγατερα αυτου δια δουλην, δεν θελει εξελθει καθως εξερχονται οι δουλοι.

8 Εαν δεν αρεση εις τον κυριον αυτης, οστις ηρραβωνισθη αυτην εις εαυτον, τοτε θελει απολυτρωσει αυτην· εις ξενον εθνος δεν θελει εχει εξουσιαν να πωληση αυτην, επειδη εφερθη προς αυτην απιστως.

9 Αν ομως ηρραβωνισεν αυτην με τον υιον αυτου, θελει καμει προς αυτην κατα το δικαιωμα των θυγατερων.

10 Εαν λαβη εις εαυτον αλλην, δεν θελει στερησει την τροφην αυτης, τα ενδυματα αυτης, και το προς αυτην χρεος του γαμου.

11 Εαν ομως δεν καμνη εις αυτην τα τρια ταυτα, τοτε θελει εξελθει δωρεαν ανευ αργυριου.

12 Οστις παταξη ανθρωπον, και αποθανη, θελει εξαπαντος θανατωθη·

13 εαν ομως δεν παρεμονευσεν, αλλ' ο Θεος παρεδωκεν αυτον εις την χειρα αυτου, τοτε εγω θελω σοι διορισει τοπον, οπου θελει καταφυγει·

14 εαν δε τις εγερθη κατα του πλησιον αυτου δια να δολοφονηση αυτον, απο του θυσιαστηριου μου θελεις αποσπασει αυτον δια να θανατωθη.

15 Και οστις παταξη τον πατερα αυτου η την μητερα αυτου, θελει εξαπαντος θανατωθη.

16 Και οστις κλεψη ανθρωπον και πωληση αυτον, η εαν ευρεθη εις τας χειρας αυτου, θελει εξαπαντος θανατωθη.

17 Και οστις κακολογη τον πατερα αυτου η την μητερα αυτου, θελει εξαπαντος θανατωθη.

18 Και εαν ανθρωποι λογομαχωσι μετ' αλληλων και ο εις παταξη τον αλλον με λιθον η με γρονθον, και δεν αποθανη αλλα γεινη κλινηρης,

19 εαν σηκωθη και περιπατηση εξω με την βακτηριαν αυτου, τοτε θελει εισθαι ελευθερος ο παταξας· μονον θελει αποζημιωσει αυτον δια την αργιαν αυτου και θελει επιμεληθη την τελειαν θεραπειαν αυτου.

20 Και εαν τις παταξη τον δουλον αυτου η την δουλην αυτου με ραβδον, και αποθανη υπο τας χειρας αυτου, θελει εξαπαντος τιμωρηθη.

21 Αν ομως ζηση μιαν ημεραν η δυο, δεν θελει τιμωρηθη· διοτι ειναι αργυριον αυτου.

22 Εαν μαχωνται ανδρες και παταξωσι γυναικα εγκυον και εξελθη το παιδιον αυτης, δεν συμβη ομως συμφορα· θελει εξαπαντος καμει αποζημιωσιν ο παταξας, οποιαν ο ανηρ της γυναικος επιβαλη εις αυτον· και θελει πληρωσει κατα την αποφασιν των κριτων.

23 Αν ομως συμβη συμφορα, τοτε θελεις δωσει ζωην αντι ζωης,

24 οφθαλμον αντι οφθαλμου, οδοντα αντι οδοντος, χειρα αντι χειρος, ποδα αντι ποδος,

25 καυσιμον αντι καυσιματος, πληγην αντι πληγης, κτυπημα αντι κτυπηματος.

26 Εαν τις παταξη τον οφθαλμον του δουλου αυτου η τον οφθαλμον της δουλης αυτου και τυφλωση αυτον, θελει αφησει αυτον ελευθερον εξ αιτιας του οφθαλμου αυτου.

27 Και εαν εκβαλη τον οδοντα του δουλον αυτου η τον οδοντα της δουλης αυτου, θελει αφησει αυτον ελευθερον εξ αιτιας του οδοντος αυτου.

28 Εαν βους κερατιση ανδρα η γυναικα, και αποθανη, τοτε ο βους θελει λιθοβοληθη με λιθους και δεν θελει τρωγεσθαι το κρεας αυτου· ο κυριος δε του βοος θελει εισθαι αθωος.

29 Εαν ομως ο βους ητο κερατιστης απο προτερον, και εγεινε διαμαρτυρια εις τον κυριον αυτου και δεν εφυλαξεν αυτον, εαν θανατωση ανδρα η γυναικα, ο βους θελει λιθοβοληθη και ακομη ο κυριος αυτου θελει θανατωθη.

30 Εαν επιβληθη εις αυτον τιμη εξαγορασεως, θελει δωσει δια την εξαγορασιν της ζωης αυτου οσα ηθελον επιβληθη εις αυτον.

31 Ειτε υιον κερατιση, ειτε θυγατερα κερατιση, κατα την κρισιν ταυτην θελει γεινει εις αυτον.

32 Εαν ο βους κερατιση δουλον η δουλην, θελει δωσει εις τον κυριον αυτων τριακοντα σικλους αργυριου· ο δε βους θελει λιθοβοληθη.

33 Και εαν τις ανοιξη λακκον η εαν τις σκαψη λακκον και δεν σκεπαση αυτον, και πεση εις αυτον βους η ονος,

34 ο κυριος του λακκου θελει καμει αποζημιωσιν, αργυριον θελει αποδωσει εις τον κυριον αυτων· το δε θανατωθεν θελει εισθαι αυτου.

35 Και εαν ο βους τινος κερατιση τον βουν του πλησιον αυτου και θανατωθη, τοτε θελουσι πωλησει τον ζωντα βουν, και θελουσι μοιρασθη το αργυριον αυτου και τον θανατωθεντα ομοιως θελουσι μοιρασθη.

36 Εαν ομως ηναι γνωστον οτι ο βους ητο κερατιστης απο προτερον, και ο κυριος αυτου δεν εφυλαξεν αυτον, θελει εξαπαντος πληρωσει βουν αντι βοος· ο δε θανατωθεις θελει εισθαι αυτου.

9086. 'And an ox or an ass falls into it' means, which perverts good or truth in the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'falling' as perverting, dealt with below; from the meaning of 'an ox' as an affection for evil in the natural, thus evil there, dealt with above in 9065; and from the meaning of 'an ass' as truth in the natural, dealt with in 2781, 5492, 5741, 7024, 8078. The fact that 'falling into a pit' - when these words refer to good and truth in the natural, which are meant by 'an ox and an ass' - means perverting is evident from the contents of the next verse. These describe amendment made through truth, which can be accomplished with forms of good or truths that have been perverted, but not with those which have been wiped out. For when good or truth is perverted it still remains, but is misrepresented. 'Falling' also means slipping through error.

[2] Because this was meant by 'falling into a pit', the Lord therefore said,

Which of you, having an ass or an ox that has fallen into a well, will not immediately pull it out on the sabbath day? Luke 14:5.

The Lord said this when He healed someone with dropsy on the sabbath day. In that Church the sabbath day was the holiest because it was a sign of the heavenly marriage, which is the joining together of goodness and truth from the Lord, 8495, 8510. This explains why healings were performed by the Lord on the sabbath day; for healing implied the healing of spiritual life, and dropsy implied the perversion of truth and good, so that the healing of perverted truth implied amendment and restoration. All the Lord's miracles implied and were signs of states of the Church, 8364, as is true of all Divine miracles in general, 7337. So it is then that the Lord said, 'Which of you, having an ass or an ox that has fallen into a well, will not immediately pull it out on the sabbath day?' by which in the spiritual sense what has just been stated was meant. For whatever the Lord spoke He spoke from the Divine; and since it came from the Divine every detail has an internal sense within it, 9049, 9063 (end). 'A well' in what He said is similar in meaning to 'a pit', namely falsity, 1688. And since 'a pit' means falsity the Lord also said, when talking about the falsities of the Church,

When the blind leads the blind both fall into a pit. Matthew 15:14.

'The blind' is someone with wrong ideas, and 'falling into a pit' means perverting truth. These words were used to make a comparison; but all comparisons in the Word were drawn from among objects used as signs of spiritual things, 3579, 8989.

[3] There are people who believe that the Divine holiness which the Word contains lies hidden on a level no higher than the meaning apparent in the letter. Such people's vision of holiness in these words spoken by the Lord and in everything else in the Word arises solely from their belief that everything there is Divinely inspired, and that the things which no one can explain are arcana known only to God. But people who do not share that belief spurn the Word, solely because of its style, which is in appearance less polished than a style adopted to conform to the spirit of the age, such as that adopted by very many ancient and modern authors. But let these people know that Divine holiness lies in each and every detail of the Word. It consists however in this, that each and every detail has the Lord as its subject, also His kingdom and Church. All its details are extremely holy because they are Divine, received from the Lord, and so hold eternal life within them, as accords with the Lord's words in John,

The words that I speak to you, they are spirit and they are life. John 6:63.

But the things that are Divine and holy are clearly visible to angels in heaven because they do not understand the Word in a natural way according to the literal sense, only in a spiritual way according to the internal sense. The latter sense could also be understood by people in the world if they were to lead an angelic life, that is to say, a life of faith and love. The things contained in the internal sense of the Word are one and the same as those which the genuine teachings of the Church present. Those which the genuine teachings of the Church present are the Lord, faith in Him, love to Him, and a love of the good that comes from Him, which love is charity towards the neighbour, 6709, 6710, 8123. Those who lead this angelic life, and no others at all, are enlightened by the Lord and see the holy things of the Word; see Preface to Genesis 18.
