Shemot 23

Studie

   

1 לא תשא שמע שוא אל תשת ידך עם רשע להית עד חמס׃

2 לא תהיה אחרי רבים לרעת ולא תענה על רב לנטת אחרי רבים להטת׃

3 ודל לא תהדר בריבו׃

4 כי תפגע שור איבך או חמרו תעה השב תשיבנו לו׃

5 כי תראה חמור שנאך רבץ תחת משאו וחדלת מעזב לו עזב תעזב עמו׃

6 לא תטה משפט אבינך בריבו׃

7 מדבר שקר תרחק ונקי וצדיק אל תהרג כי לא אצדיק רשע׃

8 ושחד לא תקח כי השחד יעור פקחים ויסלף דברי צדיקים׃

9 וגר לא תלחץ ואתם ידעתם את נפש הגר כי גרים הייתם בארץ מצרים׃

10 ושש שנים תזרע את ארצך ואספת את תבואתה׃

11 והשביעת תשמטנה ונטשתה ואכלו אביני עמך ויתרם תאכל חית השדה כן תעשה לכרמך לזיתך׃

12 ששת ימים תעשה מעשיך וביום השביעי תשבת למען ינוח שורך וחמרך וינפש בן אמתך והגר׃

13 ובכל אשר אמרתי אליכם תשמרו ושם אלהים אחרים לא תזכירו לא ישמע על פיך׃

14 שלש רגלים תחג לי בשנה׃

15 את חג המצות תשמר שבעת ימים תאכל מצות כאשר צויתך למועד חדש האביב כי בו יצאת ממצרים ולא יראו פני ריקם׃

16 וחג הקציר בכורי מעשיך אשר תזרע בשדה וחג האסף בצאת השנה באספך את מעשיך מן השדה׃

17 שלש פעמים בשנה יראה כל זכורך אל פני האדן יהוה׃

18 לא תזבח על חמץ דם זבחי ולא ילין חלב חגי עד בקר׃

19 ראשית בכורי אדמתך תביא בית יהוה אלהיך לא תבשל גדי בחלב אמו׃

20 הנה אנכי שלח מלאך לפניך לשמרך בדרך ולהביאך אל המקום אשר הכנתי׃

21 השמר מפניו ושמע בקלו אל תמר בו כי לא ישא לפשעכם כי שמי בקרבו׃

22 כי אם שמע תשמע בקלו ועשית כל אשר אדבר ואיבתי את איביך וצרתי את צרריך׃

23 כי ילך מלאכי לפניך והביאך אל האמרי והחתי והפרזי והכנעני החוי והיבוסי והכחדתיו׃

24 לא תשתחוה לאלהיהם ולא תעבדם ולא תעשה כמעשיהם כי הרס תהרסם ושבר תשבר מצבתיהם׃

25 ועבדתם את יהוה אלהיכם וברך את לחמך ואת מימיך והסרתי מחלה מקרבך׃

26 לא תהיה משכלה ועקרה בארצך את מספר ימיך אמלא׃

27 את אימתי אשלח לפניך והמתי את כל העם אשר תבא בהם ונתתי את כל איביך אליך ערף׃

28 ושלחתי את הצרעה לפניך וגרשה את החוי את הכנעני ואת החתי מלפניך׃

29 לא אגרשנו מפניך בשנה אחת פן תהיה הארץ שממה ורבה עליך חית השדה׃

30 מעט מעט אגרשנו מפניך עד אשר תפרה ונחלת את הארץ׃

31 ושתי את גבלך מים סוף ועד ים פלשתים וממדבר עד הנהר כי אתן בידכם את ישבי הארץ וגרשתמו מפניך׃

32 לא תכרת להם ולאלהיהם ברית׃

33 לא ישבו בארצך פן יחטיאו אתך לי כי תעבד את אלהיהם כי יהיה לך למוקש׃

9254. Verses 4-9. When thou shalt meet thine enemy’s ox, or his ass, going astray, bringing back thou shall bring it back to him. When thou shalt see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to remove it for him, removing thou shalt remove it with him. Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy needy in his cause. Keep thee far from the word of a lie; and the innocent and the righteous slay thou not; for I will not justify the wicked. And thou shalt not take a present, because a present blindeth those who have their eyes open, and perverteth the words of the righteous. And a sojourner shalt thou not oppress; for ye know the soul of a sojourner, seeing that ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt. “When thou shalt meet thine enemy’s ox, or his ass, going astray,” signifies good not genuine and truth not genuine, with those who are outside the church; “bringing back thou shalt bring it back to him,” signifies instruction and amendment; “when thou shalt see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden,” signifies falsity not agreeing with the good of the church, by reason of which they are about to perish; “and wouldest forbear to remove it for him,” signifies no reception of truth; “removing thou shalt remove it with him,” signifies nevertheless encouragement, and effort toward amendment; “thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy needy in his cause,” signifies no destruction of the scanty truth with those who are in ignorance; “keep thee far from the word of a lie,” signifies an aversion for the falsity of evil; “and the innocent and the righteous slay thou not,” signifies an aversion for destroying interior and exterior good; “for I will not justify the wicked,” signifies that such malignity is contrary to the Divine righteousness; “and thou shalt not take a present,” signifies an aversion for any self-advantage whatever; “because a present blindeth those who have their eyes open,” signifies that matters of self-advantage cause truths not to appear; “and perverteth the words of the righteous,” signifies so that [matters of self-advantage] appear like truths of good; “and a sojourner shalt thou not oppress,” signifies that those who long to be instructed in the truths of the church must not be infested with evils of life; “for ye know the soul of a sojourner,” signifies their longing and their life; “seeing that ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt,” signifies that they were protected from falsities and evils when infested by the infernals.

Exodus 23

Studie

   

1 "You shall not spread a false report. Don't join your hand with the wicked to be a malicious witness.

2 "You shall not follow a crowd to do evil; neither shall you testify in court to side with a multitude to pervert justice;

3 neither shall you favor a poor man in his cause.

4 "If you meet your enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.

5 If you see the donkey of him who hates you fallen down under his burden, don't leave him, you shall surely help him with it.

6 "You shall not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits.

7 "Keep far from a false charge, and don't kill the innocent and righteous: for I will not justify the wicked.

8 "You shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds those who have sight and perverts the words of the righteous.

9 "You shall not oppress an alien, for you know the heart of an alien, since you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

10 "For six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in its increase,

11 but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the animal of the field shall eat. In the same way, you shall deal with your vineyard and with your olive grove.

12 "Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your handmaid, and the alien may be refreshed.

13 "Be careful to do all things that I have said to you; and don't invoke the name of other gods, neither let them be heard out of your mouth.

14 "You shall observe a feast to me three times a year.

15 You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it you came out from Egypt), and no one shall appear before me empty.

16 And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you sow in the field: and the feast of harvest, at the end of the year, when you gather in your labors out of the field.

17 Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord Yahweh.

18 "You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread, neither shall the fat of my feast remain all night until the morning.

19 The first of the first fruits of your ground you shall bring into the house of Yahweh your God. "You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.

20 "Behold, I send an angel before you, to keep you by the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.

21 Pay attention to him, and listen to his voice. Don't provoke him, for he will not pardon your disobedience, for my name is in him.

22 But if you indeed listen to his voice, and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.

23 For my angel shall go before you, and bring you in to the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I will cut them off.

24 You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor follow their practices, but you shall utterly overthrow them and demolish their pillars.

25 You shall serve Yahweh your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from your midst.

26 No one will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will fulfill the number of your days.

27 I will send my terror before you, and will confuse all the people to whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.

28 I will send the hornet before you, which will drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before you.

29 I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the animals of the field multiply against you.

30 Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased and inherit the land.

31 I will set your border from the Red Sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.

32 You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

33 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me, for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you."
