Exodus 22:11
Arcana Coelestia # 9123
9123. Exodus 22
2. 1 If a thief is caught digging through 2 and is struck, and he dies, there shall be no bloodguilt for him. 3
3. If the sun has risen on him, there shall be bloodguilt for him - [the thief] must surely make repayment; if he has nothing, he shall be sold for his theft.
4. If the theft is certainly found in his hand, whether it is ox or ass, or member of the flock, 4 [and they are] alive, he shall repay double.
5. When a man devastates a field or a vineyard, sending in his beast of burden and causing devastation 5 in another's field, he shall make repayment from the best of his own field or from the best of his own vineyard.
6. When fire breaks out and catches hold of thorns, and a stack of grain is consumed, or standing grain, or a field, the one kindling what is kindled shall surely make repayment.
7. When a man delivers to his companion silver or vessels for safe keeping, and it is taken away by theft out of the man's house, if the thief is caught he shall repay double.
8. If the thief is not caught, the master of the house shall be brought to God 6 [to see] whether or not he has put his hand into his companion's property. 7
9. For every matter of transgression - [whether it is] for an ox, for an ass, for a member of the flock, for clothing, [or] for anything that is lost, about which one says, This is it - the case 8 of both parties shall come even to God, 6 and the one whom God condemns 9 shall repay double to his companion.
10. When a man delivers to his companion an ass, or an ox, or a member of the flock, or any beast for safe keeping, and it dies or is broken, 10 or is led away captive, and no one sees it,
11. An oath of Jehovah shall be between them both, [to see] whether or not its owner has put his hand into his companion's property 7 and taken it; and [the other man] shall not make repayment.
12. But if it has indeed been taken away from him by theft, he shall make repayment to its owner.
13. If it has been torn to pieces, he shall bring it [as] witness; 11 he shall not make repayment for what has been torn.
14. And when a man borrows something from his companion, and it is broken 10 or dies, its owner not being with it, he shall surely make repayment.
15. If its owner is with it, he shall not make repayment; if he is a hired servant he shall come in his hire.
16. When a man persuades a virgin who is not betrothed and lies with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
17. If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay silver according to the dowry of virgins.
18. A sorceress you shall not keep alive.
19. Anyone lying with a beast shall surely die.
20. He who sacrifices to the gods shall be utterly destroyed - except to Jehovah alone.
21. And a sojourner you shall not afflict and shall not oppress, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
22. Any widow or orphan you shall not afflict.
23. If you do indeed afflict him, and if he surely cries out to Me, I will surely hear his cry.
24. And My anger will blaze up, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives will become widows, and your sons orphans.
25. If you lend silver to My people, to the needy one with you, you shall not be like a money-lender to him; you shall not charge him interest.
26. If you ever take your companion's clothing as a pledge you shall restore it to him even at the going in of the sun.
27. For this is his only covering; it is his clothing for his skin, in which he may sleep; and it shall be, when he cries out to Me, that I shall hear, for I am merciful.
28. You shall not revile God, and you shall not curse a governor of your people.
29. You shall not be slow [to offer] the firstfruits of your grain and the firstfruits of your wine. The firstborn of your sons you shall give to Me.
30. You shall do the same with your oxen, [and] with your flock. Seven days it shall be with its mother; on the eighth day you shall give it to Me.
31. And men of holiness shall you be to Me. And you shall not eat flesh torn in the field; you shall throw it to the dogs. 12
CONTENTS
The internal sense of this chapter deals with different ways in which harm is done to the truth of faith and the good of charity, and with making amends and undertaking restoration for them. It also deals with the help that should be offered if they are wiped out. Later on the chapter deals with instruction in the truths of faith, and finally with a person's state of life when the good of charity is present in him.
Poznámky pod čarou:
1. Exodus 22:1 in English versions of the Scriptures is Exodus 21:37 in Hebrew and Latin Bibles.
2. i.e. breaking into a house at night by making a hole in its walls
3. literally, there shall not be bloods for him
4. literally, from ox even to ass, even to member of the flock
5. literally, and sends in his beast of burden and devastates
6. i.e. the judges
7. literally, work
8. literally, word or matter
9. The verb here in the Latin and in the Hebrew is plural. The subject of the verb in the Latin is singular (Deus); but the Hebrew word (Elohim), though plural in form and therefore sometimes used to mean gods, is more often the proper name God. In this particular instance Elohim is taken to mean the judges, i.e. those who act on behalf of God.
10. i.e. is injured
11. The Latin means he shall bring the witness (i.e. evidence) to him but the Hebrew seems to mean he shall bring it [as] witness.
12. literally, a dog
Exodus 22
1
"If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and kills it, or sells it; he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
2
If the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt of bloodshed for him.
3
If the sun has risen on him, guilt of bloodshed shall be for him; he shall make restitution. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
4
If the stolen property is found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, donkey, or sheep, he shall pay double.
5
"If a man causes a field or vineyard to be eaten, and lets his animal loose, and it grazes in another man's field, he shall make restitution from the best of his own field, and from the best of his own vineyard.
6
"If fire breaks out, and catches in thorns so that the shocks of grain, or the standing grain, or the field are consumed; he who kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
7
"If a man delivers to his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it is stolen out of the man's house; if the thief is found, he shall pay double.
8
If the thief isn't found, then the master of the house shall come near to God, to find out if he hasn't put his hand to his neighbor's goods.
9
For every matter of trespass, whether it be for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any kind of lost thing, about which one says, 'This is mine,' the cause of both parties shall come before God. He whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbor.
10
"If a man delivers to his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies or is injured, or driven away, no man seeing it;
11
the oath of Yahweh shall be between them both, whether he hasn't put his hand to his neighbor's goods; and its owner shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.
12
But if it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to its owner.
13
If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it for evidence. He shall not make good that which was torn.
14
"If a man borrows anything of his neighbor's, and it is injured, or dies, its owner not being with it, he shall surely make restitution.
15
If its owner is with it, he shall not make it good. If it is a leased thing, it came for its lease.
16
"If a man entices a virgin who isn't pledged to be married, and lies with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife.
17
If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
18
"You shall not allow a sorceress to live.
19
"Whoever has sex with an animal shall surely be put to death.
20
"He who sacrifices to any god, except to Yahweh only, shall be utterly destroyed.
21
"You shall not wrong an alien, neither shall you oppress him, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.
22
"You shall not take advantage of any widow or fatherless child.
23
If you take advantage of them at all, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;
24
and my wrath will grow hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
25
"If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor; neither shall you charge him interest.
26
If you take your neighbor's garment as collateral, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down,
27
for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What would he sleep in? It will happen, when he cries to me, that I will hear, for I am gracious.
28
"You shall not blaspheme God, nor curse a ruler of your people.
29
"You shall not delay to offer from your harvest and from the outflow of your presses. "You shall give the firstborn of your sons to me.
30
You shall do likewise with your cattle and with your sheep. Seven days it shall be with its mother, then on the eighth day you shall give it to me.
31
"You shall be holy men to me, therefore you shall not eat any flesh that is torn by animals in the field. You shall cast it to the dogs.
