Leviticus 18

Studie

   

1 Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens :

2 Loquere filiis Israël, et dices ad eos : Ego Dominus Deus vester :

3 juxta consuetudinem terræ Ægypti, in qua habitastis, non facietis : et juxta morem regionis Chanaan, ad quam ego introducturus sum vos, non agetis, nec in legitimis eorum ambulabitis.

4 Facietis judicia mea, et præcepta mea servabitis, et ambulabitis in eis. Ego Dominus Deus vester.

5 Custodite leges meas atque judicia, quæ faciens homo, vivet in eis. Ego Dominus.

6 Omnis homo ad proximam sanguinis sui non accedet, ut revelet turpitudinem ejus. Ego Dominus.

7 Turpitudinem patris tui, Turpitudinem matris tuæ non discooperies : mater tua est : non revelabis Turpitudinem ejus.

8 Turpitudinem uxoris patris tui non discooperies : turpitudo enim patris tui est.

9 Turpitudinem sororis tuæ ex patre sive ex matre, quæ domi vel foris genita est, non revelabis.

10 Turpitudinem filiæ filii tui vel neptis ex filia non revelabis : quia turpitudo tua est.

11 Turpitudinem filiæ uxoris patris tui, quam peperit patri tuo, et est soror tua, non revelabis.

12 Turpitudinem sororis patris tui non discooperies : quia caro est patris tui.

13 Turpitudinem sororis matris tuæ non revelabis, eo quod caro sit matris tuæ.

14 Turpitudinem patrui tui non revelabis, nec accedes ad uxorem ejus, quæ tibi affinitate conjungitur.

15 Turpitudinem nurus tuæ non revelabis, quia uxor filii tui est : nec discooperies ignominiam ejus.

16 Turpitudinem uxoris fratris tui non revelabis : quia turpitudo fratris tui est.

17 Turpitudinem uxoris tuæ et filiæ ejus non revelabis. Filiam filii ejus, et filiam filiæ illius non sumes, ut reveles ignominiam ejus : quia caro illius sunt, et talis coitus incestus est.

18 Sororem uxoris tuæ in pellicatum illius non accipies, nec revelabis turpitudinem ejus adhuc illa vivente.

19 Ad mulierem quæ patitur menstrua non accedes, nec revelabis fœditatem ejus.

20 Cum uxore proximi tui non coibis, nec seminis commistione maculaberis.

21 De semine tuo non dabis ut consecretur idolo Moloch, nec pollues nomen Dei tui. Ego Dominus.

22 Cum masculo non commiscearis coitu femineo, quia abominatio est.

23 Cum omni pecore non coibis, nec maculaberis cum eo. Mulier non succumbet jumento, nec miscebitur ei, quia scelus est.

24 Nec polluamini in omnibus his quibus contaminatæ sunt universæ gentes, quas ego ejiciam ante conspectum vestrum,

25 et quibus polluta est terra : cujus ego scelera visitabo, ut evomat habitatores suos.

26 Custodite legitima mea atque judicia, et non faciatis ex omnibus abominationibus istis, tam indigena quam colonus qui peregrinantur apud vos.

27 Omnes enim execrationes istas fecerunt accolæ terræ qui fuerunt ante vos, et polluerunt eam.

28 Cavete ergo ne et vos similiter evomat, cum paria feceritis, sicut evomuit gentem, quæ fuit ante vos.

29 Omnis anima, quæ fecerit de abominationibus his quippiam, peribit de medio populi sui.

30 Custodite mandata mea. Nolite facere quæ fecerunt hi qui fuerunt ante vos, et ne polluamini in eis. Ego Dominus Deus vester.

Apocalypse Explained # 1006

/ 1232  
  

1006. Happy is he that is awake, signifies the happy state of those who look to the Lord. This is evident from the signification of "happy," as being to be in a happy state; also from the signification of "being awake," as being to acquire for oneself spiritual life (See n. 187; and this is acquired by man's looking to the Lord, because the Lord is Life itself, and from Him alone is life eternal. When a man is in life from the Lord he is in wakefulness; but when he is in life from himself he is asleep; or what is the same, when a man is in spiritual life he is in wakefulness, but when he is in natural life separated from the spiritual he is asleep; and what a man then sees is like what he sees in a dream. To live this life is meant also by "sleeping and slumbering" in the Word (as in Matthew 13:25; 25:5, 6; Mark 4:26, 27; 13:36; Isaiah 5:27; Jeremiah 51:39, 57; Psalms 13:4; 76:7 elsewhere). This makes clear what is signified by "being awake."

(Continuation respecting the Sixth Commandment)

[2] But it is to be known that adulteries are more and less infernal and abominable. The adulteries that spring from more grievous evils and their falsities are more grievous, and those from the milder evils and their falsities are milder; for adulteries correspond to adulterations of good and consequent falsifications of truth; adulterations of good are in themselves evils, and falsifications of truth are in themselves falsities. According to correspondences with these the hells are arranged into genera and species. There are cadaverous hells for those whose delights were the violations of wives; there are excrementitious hells for those whose delights were the debauching of virgins; there are direful, slimy hells for those whose delights were varieties and changes of harlots; for others there are filthy hells. There are sodomitic hells for those who were in evils from a love of ruling over others from mere delight in ruling, and who were in no delight of use.

[3] From those who have separated faith from good works both in doctrine and in life there exhale adulteries like that of a son with a mother or a mother-in-law; from those who have studied the Word only for the sake of glory, and not for the sake of spiritual uses, there exhale adulteries like that of a father with a daughter-in-law; from those who believe that sins are remitted by the Holy Supper, and not by repentance of life, there exhale adulteries like that of a brother with a sister; from those who altogether deny the Divine, there exhale heinous things with beasts; and so on. Such hells are for them because of the correspondence with the adulterations or defilements of good and truth.
