1 μη ιδων τον μοσχον του αδελφου σου η το προβατον αυτου πλανωμενα εν τη οδω υπεριδης αυτα αποστροφη αποστρεψεις αυτα τω αδελφω σου και αποδωσεις αυτω

2 εαν δε μη εγγιζη ο αδελφος σου προς σε μηδε επιστη αυτον συναξεις αυτα ενδον εις την οικιαν σου και εσται μετα σου εως αν ζητηση αυτα ο αδελφος σου και αποδωσεις αυτω

3 ουτως ποιησεις τον ονον αυτου και ουτως ποιησεις το ιματιον αυτου και ουτως ποιησεις κατα πασαν απωλειαν του αδελφου σου οσα εαν αποληται παρ' αυτου και ευρης ου δυνηση υπεριδειν

4 ουκ οψη τον ονον του αδελφου σου η τον μοσχον αυτου πεπτωκοτας εν τη οδω μη υπεριδης αυτους ανιστων αναστησεις μετ' αυτου

5 ουκ εσται σκευη ανδρος επι γυναικι ουδε μη ενδυσηται ανηρ στολην γυναικειαν οτι βδελυγμα κυριω τω θεω σου εστιν πας ποιων ταυτα

6 εαν δε συναντησης νοσσια ορνεων προ προσωπου σου εν τη οδω η επι παντι δενδρει η επι της γης νεοσσοις η ωοις και η μητηρ θαλπη επι των νεοσσων η επι των ωων ου λημψη την μητερα μετα των τεκνων

7 αποστολη αποστελεις την μητερα τα δε παιδια λημψη σεαυτω ινα ευ σοι γενηται και πολυημερος εση

8 εαν δε οικοδομησης οικιαν καινην και ποιησεις στεφανην τω δωματι σου και ου ποιησεις φονον εν τη οικια σου εαν πεση ο πεσων απ' αυτου

9 ου κατασπερεις τον αμπελωνα σου διαφορον ινα μη αγιασθη το γενημα και το σπερμα ο εαν σπειρης μετα του γενηματος του αμπελωνος σου

10 ουκ αροτριασεις εν μοσχω και ονω επι το αυτο

11 ουκ ενδυση κιβδηλον ερια και λινον εν τω αυτω

12 στρεπτα ποιησεις σεαυτω επι των τεσσαρων κρασπεδων των περιβολαιων σου α εαν περιβαλη εν αυτοις

13 εαν δε τις λαβη γυναικα και συνοικηση αυτη και μισηση αυτην

14 και επιθη αυτη προφασιστικους λογους και κατενεγκη αυτης ονομα πονηρον και λεγη την γυναικα ταυτην ειληφα και προσελθων αυτη ουχ ευρηκα αυτης παρθενια

15 και λαβων ο πατηρ της παιδος και η μητηρ εξοισουσιν τα παρθενια της παιδος προς την γερουσιαν επι την πυλην

16 και ερει ο πατηρ της παιδος τη γερουσια την θυγατερα μου ταυτην δεδωκα τω ανθρωπω τουτω γυναικα και μισησας αυτην

17 αυτος νυν επιτιθησιν αυτη προφασιστικους λογους λεγων ουχ ευρηκα τη θυγατρι σου παρθενια και ταυτα τα παρθενια της θυγατρος μου και αναπτυξουσιν το ιματιον εναντιον της γερουσιας της πολεως

18 και λημψεται η γερουσια της πολεως εκεινης τον ανθρωπον εκεινον και παιδευσουσιν αυτον

19 και ζημιωσουσιν αυτον εκατον σικλους και δωσουσιν τω πατρι της νεανιδος οτι εξηνεγκεν ονομα πονηρον επι παρθενον ισραηλιτιν και αυτου εσται γυνη ου δυνησεται εξαποστειλαι αυτην τον απαντα χρονον

20 εαν δε επ' αληθειας γενηται ο λογος ουτος και μη ευρεθη παρθενια τη νεανιδι

21 και εξαξουσιν την νεανιν επι τας θυρας οικου πατρος αυτης και λιθοβολησουσιν αυτην οι ανδρες της πολεως αυτης εν λιθοις και αποθανειται οτι εποιησεν αφροσυνην εν υιοις ισραηλ εκπορνευσαι τον οικον του πατρος αυτης και εξαρεις τον πονηρον εξ υμων αυτων

22 εαν δε ευρεθη ανθρωπος κοιμωμενος μετα γυναικος συνωκισμενης ανδρι αποκτενειτε αμφοτερους τον ανδρα τον κοιμωμενον μετα της γυναικος και την γυναικα και εξαρεις τον πονηρον εξ ισραηλ

23 εαν δε γενηται παις παρθενος μεμνηστευμενη ανδρι και ευρων αυτην ανθρωπος εν πολει κοιμηθη μετ' αυτης

24 εξαξετε αμφοτερους επι την πυλην της πολεως αυτων και λιθοβοληθησονται εν λιθοις και αποθανουνται την νεανιν οτι ουκ εβοησεν εν τη πολει και τον ανθρωπον οτι εταπεινωσεν την γυναικα του πλησιον και εξαρεις τον πονηρον εξ υμων αυτων

25 εαν δε εν πεδιω ευρη ανθρωπος την παιδα την μεμνηστευμενην και βιασαμενος κοιμηθη μετ' αυτης αποκτενειτε τον ανθρωπον τον κοιμωμενον μετ' αυτης μονον

26 και τη νεανιδι ου ποιησετε ουδεν ουκ εστιν τη νεανιδι αμαρτημα θανατου οτι ως ει τις επαναστη ανθρωπος επι τον πλησιον και φονευση αυτου ψυχην ουτως το πραγμα τουτο

27 οτι εν τω αγρω ευρεν αυτην εβοησεν η νεανις η μεμνηστευμενη και ο βοηθησων ουκ ην αυτη

28 εαν δε τις ευρη την παιδα την παρθενον ητις ου μεμνηστευται και βιασαμενος κοιμηθη μετ' αυτης και ευρεθη

29 δωσει ο ανθρωπος ο κοιμηθεις μετ' αυτης τω πατρι της νεανιδος πεντηκοντα διδραχμα αργυριου και αυτου εσται γυνη ανθ' ων εταπεινωσεν αυτην ου δυνησεται εξαποστειλαι αυτην τον απαντα χρονον

4433. And he took her, and lay with her, and forced her. That this signifies that in no other way could this truth be conjoined with the affection of the truth signified by the sons of Jacob her brothers, is evident from the signification of “taking her, lying with her, and forcing her,” as being to be conjoined, but not in a lawful way, as is done by betrothal. That by these words is signified that in no other way could it be conjoined, cannot be seen unless it is known how the case is. The interior truth from the ancients which is signified by “Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite” is that truth which had been the internal of the church among the ancients, thus which was the internal in their statutes, judgments, and laws: in a word, in their rituals and the like. These truths were their doctrinal things according to which they lived, and indeed doctrinal things of charity; for in the ancient time those who were of the genuine church had no other doctrinal things. Relatively to doctrine the same may be called interior truths of faith, but goods relatively to life. If any church were to be instituted with the nation sprung from Jacob, it was necessary that they should be initiated into these truths and goods; for unless there are internal things within external ones, that is, unless men think of internal things when they are in external ones, and unless they are at the same time affected by the internal things, or at least unless they are affected by external things for the sake of internal things, there is not anything of the church. For internal things make the church, because in these is the Lord; for in these are the spiritual and celestial things which are from Him.

[2] But the nation sprung from Jacob, that is, the Israelitish and Jewish nation, could not be initiated into these internal things in the lawful way which is effected by betrothal, for the reason that their external worship did not correspond. For from their fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, they received the worship instituted by Eber, which was different in its externals from the worship of the Ancient Church, as may be seen above (n. 1238, 1241, 1343, 2180). And because their worship was different, the interior truths that existed among the ancients could not be conjoined with it in the lawful manner, by betrothal, but in the way here described. From this it may be understood what is meant by saying that “in no other way could this truth be conjoined with the affection of the truth signified by the sons of Jacob, Dinah’s brothers.”

[3] But although the conjunction could be effected in this manner, according to a law also known to the ancients (see Exodus 22:15; Deuteronomy 22:28-29), still that nation was of such a character that they would by no means suffer any conjunction of the interior truth that was from the ancients with the externals of worship that existed among the descendants of Jacob (see n. 4281, 4290, 4293, 4307, 4314, 4316, 4317). For this reason there could not be any church instituted with that nation, but instead of it only the representative of a church (see n. 4281, 4288, 4307). That this nation was of such a character that not only was it impossible for them to receive interior truths, but that they also completely extinguished them in themselves, is here represented by the sons of Jacob answering Shechem and Hamor in fraud (verse 13); and then by Simeon and Leviticus smiting the city with the edge of the sword, and killing Shechem and Hamor (verses 25-26); and by the rest of the sons coming upon those who were pierced, and pillaging the city, and carrying away the flocks, the herds, and whatever was in the city, in the field, and in the house (verses 27-29). From this it is evident what is signified by the prophecy of Jacob, then Israel:

Simeon and Leviticus are brethren, instruments of violence are their swords; let not my soul come into their secret, let not my glory be united in their congregation; because in their anger they slew a man, and in their pleasure they unstrung an ox; cursed be their anger because it was vehement, and their fury because it was grievous; I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel (Genesis 49:5-7).
