Deuteronomija 22

Studie

   

1 “Jei matytum paklydusį savo brolio jautį ar avį, nenusigręžk, bet nuvesk jį atgal pas savo brolį.

2 Jei gyvulio savininkas gyventų toli ar būtų nepažįstamas, parsivesk jį pas save ir laikyk, kol tavo brolis ieškos jo, ir tu jam sugrąžinsi.

3 Taip pat daryk su asilu, drabužiu ir kiekvienu savo brolio daiktu, kurį radai pamestą: ką rasi, neslėpk, bet grąžink.

4 Jei matysi savo brolio asilą ar jautį, parkritusį ant kelio, nenusigręžk, bet padėk jį pakelti.

5 Moteris nesivilks vyro rūbais, ir vyras­moters; Viešpats bjaurisi tokiais, kurie taip daro.

6 Jei eidamas rastum medyje ar žemėje paukščio lizdą ir tupinčią patelę ant paukščiukų ar kiaušinių, nepasiimk jos kartu su jaunikliais.

7 Leisk nuskristi motinai, pasiimk tik paukščiukus, kad tau gerai sektųsi ir ilgai gyventum.

8 Pasistatęs naują namą, padaryk užtvarą aplink stogą, kad neužtrauktum kraujo ant savo namo, kam nors nukritus nuo jo.

9 Nesėk vynuogyne jokių kitų sėklų, kad jo vaisiai nebūtų suteršti.

10 Neark drauge jaučiu ir asilu.

11 Nedėvėk drabužio, austo iš vilnų ir linų.

12 Pasidaryk kutus prie keturių kampų savo apsiausto, kuriuo apsisiauti.

13 Jei kas vestų žmoną, o vėliau pradėtų jos nekęsti

14 ir ieškotų progos ją atleisti, apšmeiždamas: ‘Aš vedžiau šitą žmoną ir, įėjęs pas ją, radau, kad ji nėra mergaitė’,

15 tada jos tėvas ir motina atneš jos mergystės ženklus pas miesto vyresniuosius prie vartų,

16 ir tėvas sakys: ‘Aš daviau savo dukterį šitam vyrui už žmoną. Jis pradėjo jos neapkęsti

17 ir apšmeižė ją, sakydamas, kad rado, jog mano duktė nebuvo mergaitė. Štai mano dukters nekaltybės įrodymas’. Jie parodys vyresniesiems drabužį.

18 Tada miesto vyresnieji paims vyrą ir nubaus jį.

19 Be to, jis turės sumokėti šimtą šekelių sidabro baudos, kurią atiduos moteriškės tėvui, nes jis apšmeižė Izraelio mergaitę. Ji bus jo žmona, ir jis negalės jos atleisti per visas savo dienas.

20 Bet jei tai tiesa, kad ji nebuvo mergaitė,

21 jie ją atves prie tėvo namų durų, ir miesto vyrai užmuš ją akmenimis, nes ji padarė bjaurų nusikaltimą Izraelyje, paleistuvaudama tėvo namuose. Taip pašalinsi pikta iš Izraelio.

22 Jei vyras būtų sugautas gulint su kito žmona, abu: tiek vyras, tiek moteris, turės mirti. Taip pašalinsi pikta iš Izraelio.

23 Jei mergaitė būtų pažadėta vyrui ir kas nors, sutikęs ją mieste, gulėtų su ja,

24 abu bus užmušti akmenimis už miesto vartų: mergaitė už tai, kad nešaukė, būdama mieste, o vyras, kad pažemino savo artimo žmoną. Taip pašalinsi pikta iš savo žmonių.

25 Jei vyras, sutikęs susižadėjusią mergaitę laukuose, ją išprievartautų, jis vienas bus nubaustas mirtimi.

26 Mergaitei nieko nedarysi, nes ji nepadarė nuodėmės, vertos mirties. Toks nusikaltimas prilygsta žmogžudžio nusikaltimui.

27 Ji buvo laukuose, šaukė, bet nebuvo, kas ją išgelbėtų.

28 Jei vyras, sutikęs nesusižadėjusią mergaitę, pagriebtų ją ir gulėtų su ja, ir jie būtų sugauti,

29 tas vyras sumokės mergaitės tėvui penkiasdešimt šekelių sidabro ir turės ją vesti, nes ją pažemino; jis negalės jos atleisti per visas savo dienas.

30 Nė vienas neves tėvo žmonos ir neatidengs tėvo nuogumo”.

Apocalypse Revealed # 899

899. And twelve gates. This symbolizes all the concepts of truth and goodness by which a person is introduced into the church.

Gates symbolize concepts of truth and goodness from the Word, because a person is introduced into the church by them. For the wall that had the gates symbolizes the Word, as explained just above in no. 898. Moreover we are later told that "the twelve gates were twelve pearls: each gate was of one pearl" (verse 21), and pearls symbolize concepts of truth and goodness (no. 727). Clearly it is by these concepts that people are introduced into the church, as through gates into a city.

That the number twelve symbolizes all people may be seen in no. 348 above.

Gates symbolize concepts of truth and goodness also in the following places:

I will... lay your foundations in sapphires; I will make your pinnacles of garnets, and your gates carbuncle-stones. 1 (Isaiah 54:11-12)

Jehovah loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God! (Psalms 87:2-3)

Enter through His gates with confession... Confess Him, bless His name. (Psalms 100:4)

Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem! Jerusalem is built as a city that holds fast together. (Psalms 122:2-3)

Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem! ...For He has strengthened the bars of your gates; He has blessed your children in your midst. (Psalms 147:12-13)

...that I may recount all Your praises in the gates of the daughter of Zion. (Psalms 9:14)

Open the gates, that a righteous nation which keeps its fealties may enter in. (Isaiah 26:2)

...raise your voice... that they may enter the gate of the princes. (Isaiah 13:2)

Blessed are those who do His commandments... and enter through the gates into the city. (Revelation 22:14)

Lift up your heads, O you gates... that the King of glory may come in. (Psalms 24:7, 9)

The roads to Zion mourn... All her gates are desolate; her priests groan... (Lamentations 1:4)

Judah mourned, and her gates have been made to languish. (Jeremiah 14:2)

Jehovah has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion... Her gates have sunk into the ground. (Lamentations 2:8-9)

...who make a man to sin against the Word, and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate... (Isaiah 29:21)

They chose new gods; then he began to attack the gates. (Judges 5:8)

And so on elsewhere, as in Isaiah 3:25-26; 14:31; 22:7; 24:12; 28:6; 62:10; Jeremiah 1:15; 15:7; 31:38, 40; Micah 2:13; Nahum 3:13; Judges 5:11.

Since gates symbolize introductory truths, which are concepts from the Word, therefore the elders of the city used to sit as judges at the gates, as is apparent from Deuteronomy 21:18-21; 22:15; Lamentations 5:14; Amos 5:12, 15; Zechariah 8:16.

Lamentations 1

Studie

1 How the city sits solitary, that was full of people! She has become as a widow, who was great among the nations! She who was a princess among the provinces is become tributary!

2 She weeps bitterly in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks; among all her lovers she has none to comfort her: All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; they are become her enemies.

3 Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude; she dwells among the nations, she finds no rest: all her persecutors overtook her within the straits.

4 The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn assembly; all her gates are desolate, her priests do sigh: her virgins are afflicted, and she herself is in bitterness.

5 Her adversaries are become the head, her enemies prosper; for Yahweh has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her young children are gone into captivity before the adversary.

6 From the daughter of Zion all her majesty is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, they are gone without strength before the pursuer.

7 Jerusalem remembers in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that were from the days of old: when her people fell into the hand of the adversary, and none did help her, The adversaries saw her, they did mock at her desolations.

8 Jerusalem has grievously sinned; therefore she is become as an unclean thing; all who honored her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yes, she sighs, and turns backward.

9 Her filthiness was in her skirts; she didn't remember her latter end; therefore is she come down wonderfully; she has no comforter: see, Yahweh, my affliction; for the enemy has magnified himself.

10 The adversary has spread out his hand on all her pleasant things: for she has seen that the nations are entered into her sanctuary, concerning whom you commanded that they should not enter into your assembly.

11 All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for food to refresh the soul: look, Yahweh, and see; for I am become abject.

12 Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look, and see if there be any sorrow like my sorrow, which is brought on me, With which Yahweh has afflicted [me] in the day of his fierce anger.

13 From on high has he sent fire into my bones, and it prevails against them; He has spread a net for my feet, he has turned me back: He has made me desolate and faint all the day.

14 The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand; They are knit together, they are come up on my neck; he has made my strength to fail: The Lord has delivered me into their hands, against whom I am not able to stand.

15 The Lord has set at nothing all my mighty men in the midst of me; He has called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men: The Lord has trodden as in a winepress the virgin daughter of Judah.

16 For these things I weep; my eye, my eye runs down with water; Because the comforter who should refresh my soul is far from me: My children are desolate, because the enemy has prevailed.

17 Zion spreads forth her hands; there is none to comfort her; Yahweh has commanded concerning Jacob, that those who are around him should be his adversaries: Jerusalem is among them as an unclean thing.

18 Yahweh is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: Please hear all you peoples, and see my sorrow: My virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.

19 I called for my lovers, [but] they deceived me: My priests and my elders gave up the spirit in the city, While they sought them food to refresh their souls.

20 See, Yahweh; for I am in distress; my heart is troubled; My heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled: Abroad the sword bereaves, at home there is as death.

21 They have heard that I sigh; there is none to comfort me; All my enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that you have done it: You will bring the day that you have proclaimed, and they shall be like me.

22 Let all their wickedness come before you; Do to them, as you have done to me for all my transgressions: For my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.
