Εξοδος πλήθους 22

Studie

   

1 Εαν τις κλεψη βουν η προβατον και σφαξη αυτο η πωληση αυτο, θελει πληρωσει πεντε βοας αντι του βοος και τεσσαρα προβατα αντι του προβατου.

2 Εαν ο κλεπτης ευρεθη καμνων ρηξιν και κτυπηθη και αποθανη, δεν θελει χυθη αιμα δι' αυτον.

3 Εαν ομως ο ηλιος ανατειλη επανω αυτου, θελει χυθη αιμα δι' αυτον· πρεπει να καμη ανταποδοσιν· και αν δεν εχη, θελει πωληθη δια την κλοπην αυτου.

4 Εαν το κλοπιμαιον ευρεθη εις τας χειρας αυτου ζων, ειτε βους ειτε ονος ειτε προβατον, θελει αποδωσει το διπλουν.

5 Εαν τις καταβοσκηση αγρον η αμπελωνα και αφηση το κτηνος αυτου να βοσκηθη εν αγρω ξενου ανθρωπου, θελει καμει ανταποδοσιν εκ του καλητερου του αγρου αυτου και εκ του καλητερου του αμπελωνος αυτου.

6 Εαν εξελθη πυρ και ευρη ακανθας, και καωσι θημωνιαι σιτου η ασταχυα ισταμενα η αγρος, ο αναψας το πυρ θελει εξαπαντος καμει ανταποδοσιν.

7 Εαν τις παραδωση εις τον πλησιον αυτου αργυριον η σκευη δια να φυλαττη αυτα, και κλαπωσιν εκ της οικιας του ανθρωπου, αν ευρεθη ο κλεπτης, θελει αποδωσει το διπλουν·

8 αν ο κλεπτης δεν ευρεθη, τοτε ο κυριος της οικιας θελει φερθη εμπροσθεν των κριτων, δια να εξετασθη αν δεν εβαλε την χειρα αυτου επι τα κτηματα του πλησιον αυτου.

9 Περι παντος ειδους αδικηματος, περι βοος, περι ονου, περι προβατου, περι ενδυματος, περι παντος πραγματος χαμενου, το οποιον αλλος ηθελε διαφιλονεικει οτι ειναι αυτου, η κρισις αμφοτερων θελει ελθει εμπροσθεν των κριτων· και οντινα καταδικασωσιν οι κριται, εκεινος θελει αποδωσει το διπλουν εις τον πλησιον αυτου.

10 Εαν τις παραδωση εις τον πλησιον αυτου ονον η βουν η προβατον η οποιονδηποτε κτηνος, δια να φυλαττη αυτο, και αποθανη η συντριφθη η αρπαχθη χωρις να ιδη τις,

11 ορκος Θεου θελει γεινει ανα μεσον αμφοτερων αυτων, οτι δεν εβαλε την χειρα αυτου επι το κτημα του πλησιον αυτου· και ο κυριος αυτου θελει λαβει αυτο, ο δε αλλος δεν θελει καμει ανταποδοσιν.

12 Εαν ομως εκλεφθη παρ' αυτου, θελει καμει ανταποδοσιν εις τον κυριον αυτου.

13 Εαν εγεινε θηριαλωτον, θελει φερει αυτο δια μαρτυριαν και δεν θελει πληρωσει το θηριαλωτον.

14 Και εαν τις δανεισθη ζωον παρα του πλησιον αυτου, και συντριφθη η αποθανη, ο δε κυριος αυτου δεν ηναι μετ' αυτου, θελει εξαπαντος πληρωσει αυτο.

15 Εαν ομως ο κυριος αυτου ηναι μετ' αυτου, δεν θελει πληρωσει· αν ητο μεμισθωμενον, ηλθε δια τον μισθον αυτου.

16 Και εαν τις απατηση παρθενον μη ηρραβωνισμενην, και κοιμηθη μετ' αυτης, θελει εξαπαντος προικισει αυτην με προικα δια γυναικα εις εαυτον.

17 Εαν ομως ο πατηρ αυτης δεν στεργη να δωση αυτην εις αυτον, αργυριον θελει πληρωσει κατα την προικα των παρθενων.

18 Μαγισσαν δεν θελεις αφησει να ζη.

19 Οστις συνευρεθη με κτηνος, θελει εξαπαντος θανατωθη.

20 Ο θυσιαζων εις θεους, εκτος εις μονον τον Κυριον, θελει εξολοθρευθη.

21 Και ξενον δεν θελεις κακοποιησει ουδε θελεις καταδυναστευσει αυτον· διοτι ξενοι εσταθητε εν τη γη της Αιγυπτου.

22 Ουδεμιαν χηραν η ορφανον δεν θελετε καταθλιψει.

23 Εαν καταθλιψητε αυτους οπωσδηποτε και βοησωσι προς εμε, θελω εξαπαντος εισακουσει της φωνης αυτων,

24 και ο θυμος μου θελει εξαφθη και θελω σας θανατωσει εν μαχαιρα· και αι γυναικες σας θελουσιν εισθαι χηραι και τα τεκνα σας ορφανα.

25 Εαν δανεισης αργυριον εις τον πτωχον γειτονα σου μεταξυ του λαου μου, δεν θελεις φερθη προς αυτον ως τοκιστης, δεν θελεις επιβαλει επ' αυτον τοκον.

26 Εαν λαβης ενεχυρον το ενδυμα του πλησιον σου, θελεις επιστρεψει αυτο προς αυτον πριν δυση ο ηλιος·

27 διοτι τουτο μονον ειναι το σκεπασμα αυτου, τουτο το ενδυμα του δερματος αυτου· με τι θελει κοιμηθη; και οταν βοηση προς εμε, θελω εισακουσει· διοτι εγω ειμαι ελεημων.

28 Δεν θελεις κακολογησει κριτας, ουδε θελεις καταρασθη αρχοντα του λαου σου.

29 Τας απαρχας του αλωνιου σου και του ληνου σου δεν θελεις καθυστερησει· τον πρωτοτοκον σου εκ των υιων σου θελεις δωσει εις εμε·

30 ομοιως θελεις καμει δια τον βουν σου και δια το προβατον σου· επτα ημερας θελει εισθαι μετα της μητρος αυτου, την ογδοην ημεραν θελεις δωσει αυτο εις εμε.

31 Και ανδρες αγιοι θελετε εισθαι εις εμε· και κρεας θηριαλωτον εν τω αγρω δεν θελετε φαγει· εις τον σκυλον θελετε ριψει αυτο.

9207. 'And your sons orphans' means that at the same time truths will do so, that is to say, will perish. This is clear from the meaning of 'orphans' as those who possess truth but not as yet good, and still have a desire for good, dealt with in 9199, at this point those who have truth but no desire for good, thus those with whom truths perish; for it is speaking about evil people whose sons will become orphans. The fact that truths perish with those who have no desire for good is evident from what has been stated immediately above in 9206 regarding goodness and truth when joined together. But something further must be stated regarding that joining together. Truths that have been joined to good always hold within them a desire to do good, and at the same time to be joined more closely to good by doing it. Or what amounts to the same thing, those who possess truths always have a desire to do good and to join it thereby to their truths. People therefore who think that they are in possession of truths but who have no desire to do good do not in fact possess truths; that is, they have no belief in them, however much they imagine they do have.

[2] Their condition is portrayed by the Lord when He speaks of 'salt', in Matthew,

You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt is tasteless, by what will it be made salty? It no longer has any use, except to be thrown outdoors and trodden down by people. Matthew 5:13-14.

The Lord says these things to the disciples and to the people. By 'the salt of the earth' He means the Church's truth that has a desire for good, and by 'tasteless salt' He means truth devoid of any desire for good. The fact that such truth is worthless is portrayed by the idea of salt which has become tasteless and no longer has any use, except to be thrown outdoors and trodden down by people. Having a desire for good means having a desire to do good and thereby be joined to good.

[3] In Mark,

Everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be salted with salt. Salt is good; but if the salt becomes tasteless, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and seek 1 peace with one another. Mark 9:49-50.

'Being salted with fire' means good that has a desire for truth, and 'being salted with salt' truth that has a desire for good. 'Tasteless salt' is truth devoid of any desire for good; 'having salt in oneself' means possessing that desire.

[4] In Luke,

Any of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be My disciple. Salt is good; but if the salt is made tasteless, by what will it be seasoned? It is fit neither for the land nor for the dunghill; people throw it outdoors. Luke 14:33-35.

Here 'salt' in a similar way stands for truth that has a desire for good, and 'tasteless salt' for truth that is devoid of any desire for good, 'unfit for the land or for the dunghill' standing for its total inability to serve any use, good or bad. People possessing such truth are called the lukewarm, as is evident from the words immediately before, stating that a person cannot be the Lord's disciple if he does not renounce all his possessions, that is, if he does not love the Lord above all things. For those loving the Lord and also themselves equally are the ones who are called the lukewarm and who are unfit to serve any use, good or bad.

[5] In Moses,

Every offering of your minchah shall be salted with salt; you shall not leave the salt of the covenant of your God off your minchah. 2 On all your offerings you shall offer salt. Leviticus 2:13.

Salt in every offering was a sign that truth's desire for good and good's desire for truth should be present in all worship. This also explains why this salt is called 'the salt of God's covenant'; for 'a covenant' is a joining together, 665, 666, 1023, 1038, 1864, 1996, 2003, 2021, 2037, 6804, 8767, 8778, and 'salt' is the desire for the joining together.

[6] When each desires to be joined to the other, that is, good to truth and truth to good, they look towards each other. But when truth tears itself away from good, they turn away from each other and look backwards or behind themselves. This is what is meant in Luke by Lot's wife who had become a pillar of salt,

Whoever will be on the housetop with his vessels in the house, let him not come down to take them away; and whoever is in the field likewise, let him not return to the things behind him. Remember Lot's wife. Luke 17:31-32.

This means looking behind oneself or backwards, see 3652, 5895 (end), 5897, 7857, 7923, 8505, 8506, 8510, 8516.

[7] One reason why 'salt' means the desire truth possesses is that salt renders land fertile and makes food tasteful, and another reason is that salt contains a fiery property and at the same time a conjunctive power, even as truth contains a burning desire for good and at the same time a conjunctive power. 'A pillar of salt' is a separation from truth, for 'salt' in the contrary sense means truth that has been destroyed and laid waste, as in Zephaniah 2:9; Ezekiel 47:11; Jeremiah 17:6; Psalms 107:33-34; Deuteronomy 29:23; Judges 9:45; 2 Kings 2:19-22.

These matters have been introduced so that people may know what truth's desire for good is, and what good's desire for truth is, meant by 'orphan' and 'widow'.
