1 και εκαλεσεν μωυσης παντα ισραηλ και ειπεν προς αυτους ακουε ισραηλ τα δικαιωματα και τα κριματα οσα εγω λαλω εν τοις ωσιν υμων εν τη ημερα ταυτη και μαθησεσθε αυτα και φυλαξεσθε ποιειν αυτα

2 κυριος ο θεος υμων διεθετο προς υμας διαθηκην εν χωρηβ

3 ουχι τοις πατρασιν υμων διεθετο κυριος την διαθηκην ταυτην αλλ' η προς υμας υμεις ωδε παντες ζωντες σημερον

4 προσωπον κατα προσωπον ελαλησεν κυριος προς υμας εν τω ορει εκ μεσου του πυρος

5 καγω ειστηκειν ανα μεσον κυριου και υμων εν τω καιρω εκεινω αναγγειλαι υμιν τα ρηματα κυριου οτι εφοβηθητε απο προσωπου του πυρος και ουκ ανεβητε εις το ορος λεγων

6 εγω κυριος ο θεος σου ο εξαγαγων σε εκ γης αιγυπτου εξ οικου δουλειας

7 ουκ εσονται σοι θεοι ετεροι προ προσωπου μου

8 ου ποιησεις σεαυτω ειδωλον ουδε παντος ομοιωμα οσα εν τω ουρανω ανω και οσα εν τη γη κατω και οσα εν τοις υδασιν υποκατω της γης

9 ου προσκυνησεις αυτοις ουδε μη λατρευσης αυτοις οτι εγω ειμι κυριος ο θεος σου θεος ζηλωτης αποδιδους αμαρτιας πατερων επι τεκνα επι τριτην και τεταρτην γενεαν τοις μισουσιν με

10 και ποιων ελεος εις χιλιαδας τοις αγαπωσιν με και τοις φυλασσουσιν τα προσταγματα μου

11 ου λημψη το ονομα κυριου του θεου σου επι ματαιω ου γαρ μη καθαριση κυριος τον λαμβανοντα το ονομα αυτου επι ματαιω

12 φυλαξαι την ημεραν των σαββατων αγιαζειν αυτην ον τροπον ενετειλατο σοι κυριος ο θεος σου

13 εξ ημερας εργα και ποιησεις παντα τα εργα σου

14 τη δε ημερα τη εβδομη σαββατα κυριω τω θεω σου ου ποιησεις εν αυτη παν εργον συ και οι υιοι σου και η θυγατηρ σου ο παις σου και η παιδισκη σου ο βους σου και το υποζυγιον σου και παν κτηνος σου και ο προσηλυτος ο παροικων εν σοι ινα αναπαυσηται ο παις σου και η παιδισκη σου ωσπερ και συ

15 και μνησθηση οτι οικετης ησθα εν γη αιγυπτω και εξηγαγεν σε κυριος ο θεος σου εκειθεν εν χειρι κραταια και εν βραχιονι υψηλω δια τουτο συνεταξεν σοι κυριος ο θεος σου ωστε φυλασσεσθαι την ημεραν των σαββατων και αγιαζειν αυτην

16 τιμα τον πατερα σου και την μητερα σου ον τροπον ενετειλατο σοι κυριος ο θεος σου ινα ευ σοι γενηται και ινα μακροχρονιος γενη επι της γης ης κυριος ο θεος σου διδωσιν σοι

17 ου μοιχευσεις

18 ου φονευσεις

19 ου κλεψεις

20 ου ψευδομαρτυρησεις κατα του πλησιον σου μαρτυριαν ψευδη

21 ουκ επιθυμησεις την γυναικα του πλησιον σου ουκ επιθυμησεις την οικιαν του πλησιον σου ουτε τον αγρον αυτου ουτε τον παιδα αυτου ουτε την παιδισκην αυτου ουτε του βοος αυτου ουτε του υποζυγιου αυτου ουτε παντος κτηνους αυτου ουτε οσα τω πλησιον σου εστιν

22 τα ρηματα ταυτα ελαλησεν κυριος προς πασαν συναγωγην υμων εν τω ορει εκ μεσου του πυρος σκοτος γνοφος θυελλα φωνη μεγαλη και ου προσεθηκεν και εγραψεν αυτα επι δυο πλακας λιθινας και εδωκεν μοι

23 και εγενετο ως ηκουσατε την φωνην εκ μεσου του πυρος και το ορος εκαιετο πυρι και προσηλθετε προς με παντες οι ηγουμενοι των φυλων υμων και η γερουσια υμων

24 και ελεγετε ιδου εδειξεν ημιν κυριος ο θεος ημων την δοξαν αυτου και την φωνην αυτου ηκουσαμεν εκ μεσου του πυρος εν τη ημερα ταυτη ειδομεν οτι λαλησει ο θεος προς ανθρωπον και ζησεται

25 και νυν μη αποθανωμεν οτι εξαναλωσει ημας το πυρ το μεγα τουτο εαν προσθωμεθα ημεις ακουσαι την φωνην κυριου του θεου ημων ετι και αποθανουμεθα

26 τις γαρ σαρξ ητις ηκουσεν φωνην θεου ζωντος λαλουντος εκ μεσου του πυρος ως ημεις και ζησεται

27 προσελθε συ και ακουσον οσα εαν ειπη κυριος ο θεος ημων και συ λαλησεις προς ημας παντα οσα αν λαληση κυριος ο θεος ημων προς σε και ακουσομεθα και ποιησομεν

28 και ηκουσεν κυριος την φωνην των λογων υμων λαλουντων προς με και ειπεν κυριος προς με ηκουσα την φωνην των λογων του λαου τουτου οσα ελαλησαν προς σε ορθως παντα οσα ελαλησαν

29 τις δωσει ουτως ειναι την καρδιαν αυτων εν αυτοις ωστε φοβεισθαι με και φυλασσεσθαι τας εντολας μου πασας τας ημερας ινα ευ η αυτοις και τοις υιοις αυτων δι' αιωνος

30 βαδισον ειπον αυτοις αποστραφητε υμεις εις τους οικους υμων

31 συ δε αυτου στηθι μετ' εμου και λαλησω προς σε τας εντολας και τα δικαιωματα και τα κριματα οσα διδαξεις αυτους και ποιειτωσαν εν τη γη ην εγω διδωμι αυτοις εν κληρω

32 και φυλαξεσθε ποιειν ον τροπον ενετειλατο σοι κυριος ο θεος σου ουκ εκκλινειτε εις δεξια ουδε εις αριστερα

33 κατα πασαν την οδον ην ενετειλατο σοι κυριος ο θεος σου πορευεσθαι εν αυτη οπως καταπαυση σε και ευ σοι η και μακροημερευσητε επι της γης ης κληρονομησετε

946. For Thy judgments have been made manifest, signifies that Divine truths have been revealed to them. This is evident from the signification of "judgments," as being Divine truths (of which presently); also from the signification of "made manifest," as being to be revealed. That Divine truths are revealed at the end of the church, and that they have been revealed, will be shown in what follows in this chapter, because this is there treated of. "Judgments" signify Divine truths because the laws of government in the Lord's spiritual kingdom are called "judgments;" while the laws of government in His celestial kingdom are called "justice." For the laws of government in the Lord's spiritual kingdom are laws from the Divine truth; while the laws of government in the Lord's celestial kingdom are laws from the Divine good. This is why "judgment" and "justice" are mentioned in the Word, in the following passages. In Isaiah:

Of peace there shall be no end upon the throne of David, to establish it, and to uphold it in judgment and in justice from henceforth and to eternity (Isaiah 9:7).

This is said of the Lord and His kingdom. His spiritual kingdom is signified by "the throne of David;" and because this kingdom is in Divine truths from Divine good it is said, "in judgment and in justice."

In Jeremiah:

I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and He shall reign King, and He shall act intelligently, and shall do judgment and justice (Jeremiah 23:5).

This, too, is said of the Lord, and of His spiritual kingdom. And as this kingdom is in Divine truths from Divine good it is said, "He shall reign king, and shall act intelligently, and He shall do judgment and justice." The Lord is called "King," from Divine truth; and as Divine truth is also Divine intelligence it is said that "He shall act intelligently." And as the Divine truth is from the Divine good it is said that "He shall do judgment and justice."

[2] In Isaiah:

Jehovah is exalted, for He dwelleth on high, He hath filled Zion with judgment and justice (Isaiah 33:5).

"Zion" means heaven and the church, where the Lord reigns by the Divine truth; and as all the Divine truth is from the Divine good it is said, "He hath filled Zion with judgment and justice."

In Jeremiah:

I Jehovah doing judgment and justice in the earth; for in these things I am well pleased (Jeremiah 9:24).

Here, too, "judgment and justice" signify the Divine truth from the Divine good.

In Isaiah:

They ask of me the judgments of justice, they long for an approach unto God (5 Isaiah 58:2).

The "judgments of justice" are Divine truths from the Divine good, as are "judgment and justice;" for the spiritual sense conjoins things that the sense of the letter separates.

In Hosea:

I will betroth thee unto Me forever; and I will betroth thee unto Me in justice and in judgment and in mercy and in truth (Hosea 2:19, 20).

This treats of the Lord's celestial kingdom, which consists of those who are in love to the Lord; and as the Lord's conjunction with such is comparatively like the conjunction of a husband with a wife, for so does the good of love conjoin, it is said, "I will betroth thee unto Me in justice and in judgment," "justice" being put here in the first place, and "judgment" in the second, because those who are in the good of love to the Lord are also in truths; for they see truths from good. As "justice" is predicated of good, and "judgment" of truth, it is also said, "in mercy and in truth," "mercy" belonging to good, because it is of love.

[3] In David:

Jehovah is in the heavens. Thy justice is like the mountains of God, and Thy judgments are like the great deep (Psalms 36:5-6).

"Justice" is predicated of the Divine good, and is therefore compared to "the mountains of God;" for "mountains of God" signify the goods of love (See above, n. 405, 510, 850); and "judgments" are predicated of Divine truths, and are therefore compared to "the great deep;" for "the great deep" signifies the Divine truth. From this it can now be seen that "judgments" signify Divine truths.

[4] In many passages in the Word, "judgments," "commandments," and "statutes" are mentioned; and "judgments" there signify civil laws, "commandments" the laws of spiritual life, and "statutes" the laws of worship. That "judgments" signify civil laws, is evident from Exodus (21, 22, 23), where the things commanded are called "judgments" because according to them the judges gave judgments in the gates of the city; nevertheless they signify Divine truths, such as are in the Lord's spiritual kingdom in the heavens, for they contain these in the spiritual sense; as can be (Arcana Coelestia 8971-9103) seen (Arcana Coelestia 9124-9231) from (Arcana Coelestia 9247-9348) the explanation of them in the Arcana Coelestia 8971-9103, 9124-9231, 9247-9348). That the laws given to the sons of Israel were called "judgments, "commandments," and "statutes," can be seen from the following passages.

In Moses:

I will speak unto thee all the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them (Deuteronomy 5:31).

In the same:

These are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you (Deuteronomy 6:1).

In the same:

Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them (Deuteronomy 7:11).

In David:

If his sons forsake My law and walk not in My judgments, if they profane My statutes and keep not My commandments, then will I visit their transgression with the rod (Psalms 89:30-32).

So in many other places, as Leviticus 18:5; 19:37; 20:22; 25:18; 26:15; Deuteronomy 4:1; 5:1, 6, 7; 17:19; 26:17; Ezekiel 5:6, 7; 11:12, 20; 18:9; 20:11, 13, 25; 37:24. In these passages "commandments" mean the laws of life, especially those contained in the Decalogue, which are therefore called the Ten Commandments; while "statutes" mean the laws of worship which related especially to sacrifices and holy ministrations; and "judgments" mean civil laws; and as these laws were representative of spiritual laws, they signify such Divine truths as are in the Lord's spiritual kingdom in the heavens.

[5] It follows from this that when man shuns and turns away from evils as sins and is raised up into heaven by the Lord, he is no longer in what is his own (proprium), but in the Lord, and thus he thinks and wills goods. Again, since man acts as he thinks and wills, for every act of man proceeds from the thought of his will, it follows that when he shuns and turns away from evils, he does goods from the Lord and not from self; and this is why shunning evils is doing goods. The goods that a man then does are meant by good works; and good works in their whole complex are meant by charity. Man cannot be reformed unless he thinks, wills, and does as if from himself, since that which is done as if by the man himself is conjoined to him and remains with him, while that which is not done by the man as if from himself, not being received in any life of sense, flows through like ether; and this is why the Lord wills that man should not only shun and turn away from evils as if of himself, but should also think, will, and do as if of himself, and yet acknowledge in heart, that all these things are from the Lord. This he must acknowledge because it is the truth.
