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:

1Exodus 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 21

Studie

   

1 "Now these are the ordinances which you shall set before them.

2 "If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years and in the seventh he shall go out free without paying anything.

3 If he comes in by himself, he shall go out by himself. If he is married, then his wife shall go out with him.

4 If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.

5 But if the servant shall plainly say, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children. I will not go out free;'

6 then his master shall bring him to God, and shall bring him to the door or to the doorpost, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him for ever.

7 "If a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she shall not go out as the male servants do.

8 If she doesn't please her master, who has married her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt deceitfully with her.

9 If he marries her to his son, he shall deal with her as a daughter.

10 If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marital rights.

11 If he doesn't do these three things for her, she may go free without paying any money.

12 "One who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death,

13 but not if it is unintentional, but God allows it to happen: then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.

14 If a man schemes and comes presumptuously on his neighbor to kill him, you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.

15 "Anyone who attacks his father or his mother shall be surely put to death.

16 "Anyone who kidnaps someone and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

17 "Anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.

18 "If men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he doesn't die, but is confined to bed;

19 if he rises again and walks around with his staff, then he who struck him shall be cleared: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall provide for his healing until he is thoroughly healed.

20 "If a man strikes his servant or his maid with a rod, and he dies under his hand, he shall surely be punished.

21 Notwithstanding, if he gets up after a day or two, he shall not be punished, for he is his property.

22 "If men fight and hurt a pregnant woman so that she gives birth prematurely, and yet no harm follows, he shall be surely fined as much as the woman's husband demands and the judges allow.

23 But if any harm follows, then you must take life for life,

24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

25 burning for burning, wound for wound, and bruise for bruise.

26 "If a man strikes his servant's eye, or his maid's eye, and destroys it, he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.

27 If he strikes out his male servant's tooth, or his female servant's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.

28 "If a bull gores a man or a woman to death, the bull shall surely be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the bull shall not be held responsible.

29 But if the bull had a habit of goring in the past, and it has been testified to its owner, and he has not kept it in, but it has killed a man or a woman, the bull shall be stoned, and its owner shall also be put to death.

30 If a ransom is laid on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is laid on him.

31 Whether it has gored a son or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.

32 If the bull gores a male servant or a female servant, thirty shekels of silver shall be given to their master, and the ox shall be stoned.

33 "If a man opens a pit, or if a man digs a pit and doesn't cover it, and a bull or a donkey falls into it,

34 the owner of the pit shall make it good. He shall give money to its owner, and the dead animal shall be his.

35 "If one man's bull injures another's, so that it dies, then they shall sell the live bull, and divide its price; and they shall also divide the dead animal.

36 Or if it is known that the bull was in the habit of goring in the past, and its owner has not kept it in, he shall surely pay bull for bull, and the dead animal shall be his own.
