Deuteronômio 26

Studie

   

1 Também, quando tiveres entrado na terra que o Senhor teu Deus te por herança, e a possuíres, e nela habitares,

2 tomarás das primícias de todos os frutos do solo que trouxeres da terra que o senhor teu Deus te , e as porás num cesto, e irás ao lugar que o senhor teu Deus escolher para ali fazer habitar o seu nome.

3 E irás ao sacerdote que naqueles dias estiver de serviço, e lhe dirás: Hoje declaro ao Senhor teu Deus que entrei na terra que o Senhor com juramento prometeu a nossos pais que nos daria.

4 O sacerdote, pois, tomará o cesto da tua mão, e o porá diante do altar do Senhor teu Deus.

5 E perante o Senhor teu Deus dirás: Arameu prestes a perecer era meu pai; e desceu ao Egito com pouca gente, para ali morar; e veio a ser ali uma nação grande, forte e numerosa.

6 Mas os egípcios nos maltrataram e nos afligiram, e nos impuseram uma dura servidão.

7 Então clamamos ao Senhor Deus de nossos pais, e o Senhor ouviu a nossa voz, e atentou para a nossa aflição, o nosso trabalho, e a nossa opressão;

8 e o Senhor nos tirou do Egito com mão forte e braço estendido, com grande espanto, e com sinais e maravilhas;

9 e nos trouxe a este lugar, e nos deu esta terra, terra que mana leite e mel.

10 E eis que agora te trago as primícias dos frutos da terra que tu, ó Senhor, me deste. Então as porás perante o Senhor teu Deus, e o adorarás;

11 e te alegrarás por todo o bem que o Senhor teu Deus te tem dado a ti e à tua casa, tu e o levita, e o estrangeiro que está no meio de ti.

12 Quando acabares de separar todos os dízimos da tua colheita do terceiro ano, que é o ano dos dízimos, -los-ás ao levita, ao estrangeiro, ao órfão e à viúva, para que comam dentro das tuas portas, e se fartem.

13 E dirás perante o Senhor teu Deus: Tirei da minha casa as coisas consagradas, e as dei ao levita, ao estrangeiro, ao órfão e à viúva, conforme todos os teus mandamentos que me tens ordenado; não transgredi nenhum dos teus mandamentos, nem deles me esqueci.

14 Delas não comi no meu luto, nem delas tirei coisa alguma estando eu imundo, nem delas dei para algum morto; ouvi a voz do senhor meu Deus; conforme tudo o que me ordenaste, tenho feito.

15 Olha desde a tua santa habitação, desde o céu, e abençoa o teu povo de Israel, e a terra que nos deste, como juraste a nossos pais, terra que mana leite e mel.

16 Neste dia o Senhor teu Deus te manda observar estes estatutos e preceitos; portanto os guardarás e os observarás com todo o teu coração e com toda a tua alma.

17 Hoje declaraste ao Senhor que ele te será por Deus, e que andarás nos seus caminhos, e guardarás os seus estatutos, os seus mandamentos e os seus preceitos, e darás ouvidos à sua voz.

18 Outrossim, o Senhor hoje te declarou que lhe serás por seu próprio povo, como te tem dito, e que deverás guardar todos os seus mandamentos;

19 para assim te exaltar em honra, em fama e em glória sobre todas as nações que criou; e para que sejas um povo santo ao Senhor teu Deus, como ele disse.

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.
