Второзаконие 22

Studie

   

1 Когда увидишь вола брата твоего, или овцу его заблудившихся, не оставляй ихъ, но возврати ихъ брату твоему.

2 Если же не близко будеть къ тебј братъ твой, или ты не знаешь его, то прибери ихъ въ домъ свой, и пусть они будутъ у тебя, пока братъ твой не будетъ искать ихъ, и тогда возврати ему ихъ.

3 Такъ поступай съ осломъ его, такъ поступай съ одеждою его, такъ поступай со всякою потерянною вещію брата твоего, которая будетъ имъ потеряна, и которую ты найдешь; не можно тебј уклоняться отъ сего.

4 Когда увидишь осла брата твоего или вола его, упадшихъ на пути, не оставляй ихъ, но подними ихъ съ нимъ вмјстј.

5 На женщинј не должна быть мужеская одежда и мущина не долженъ одјваться въ женское платье, ибо мерзокъ предъ Господомъ, Богомъ твоимъ, всякой дјлающій сіе.

6 Если попадется тебј на дорогј птичье гнјздо на какомъ-либо деревј, или на землј, и въ немъ птенцы или яица, и мать сидитъ на птенцахъ или на яицахъ, то не бери матери вмјстј съ дјтьми.

7 Мать отпусти, а дјтей возьми себј, чтобы тебј было хорошо, и чтобы продолжились дни твои.

8 Если будешь строить новый домъ, то сдјлай перила около кровли твоей, чтобы не пала кровь на домъ твой, когда кто нибудь упадетъ съ него.

9 Не засјвай виноградника своего разнородными сјменами, чтобы не сдјлать тебј заклятымъ сбора сјмянъ, которыя ты посјешь вмјстј съ плодами виноградника.

10 Не паши на волј и ослј вмјстј.

11 Не надјвай одежды, сдјланной изъ разныхъ веществъ, тканной изъ шерсти и льна вмјстј.

12 Сдјлай себј кисточки на четырехъ краяхъ покрывала твоего, которымъ ты покрываешься.

13 Если кто возьметъ жену и войдетъ къ ней, и послј возненавидитъ ее,

14 и будетъ взводить на нее порочныя дјла, и пуститъ о ней худую молву и скажетъ: я взялъ сію жену, и пришелъ къ ней, и не нашелъ у ней дјвства:

15 то отецъ отроковицы и мать ея пусть возьмутъ и вынесутъ признаки дјвства отроковицы къ старјйшинамъ города къ воротамъ;

16 и отецъ отроковицы скажетъ старјйшинамъ: дочь мою я отдалъ въ жену сему человјку, и онъ возненавидјлъ ее,

17 и вотъ онъ взводитъ на нее порочныя дјла, говоря: я не нашелъ у дочери твоей дјвства, но вотъ признаки дјвства дочери моей; и разстелютъ одежду предъ старјйшинами города.

18 Тогда старјйшины города его пусть возьмутъ мужа и накажутъ его,

19 и возьмутъ съ него пени сто сиклей серебра и отдадутъ отцу отроковицы за то, что онъ пустилъ худую молву о дјвицј Израильской; она же пусть останется его женою, и онъ не долженъ разводиться съ нею во всю жизнь свою.

20 Если же сказанное будетъ истинно, и не найдется дјвства у отроковицы:

21 то отроковицу пусть приведутъ къ дверямъ дома отца ея, и жители города ея побьютъ ее камнями до смерти, поелику она сдјлала срамное дјло среди сыновъ Израиля, блудодјйствовавъ въ домј отца своего; и такимъ образомъ истреби зло изъ среды себя.

22 Если найденъ будетъ кто лежащій съ женою замужнею: то должно предать смерти обоихъ, и мужа лежавшаго съ женщиною, и женщину, и такимъ образомъ истреби зло отъ Израиля.

23 Если будетъ молодая дјвица обручена мужу и кто нибудь другой встрјтится съ нею въ городј, и ляжетъ съ нею:

24 то обоихъ ихъ приведите къ воротамъ того города и побейте ихъ камнями до смерти, отроковицу за то, что она не кричала въ городј, а мущину за то, что онъ опорочилъ жену ближняго своего, и такимъ образомъ истреби зло изъ среды себя.

25 Если же кто въ полј встрјтится съ отроковицею обрученною, и схвативъ ее, ляжетъ съ нею: то должно предать смерти только мужчину лежавшаго съ нею,

26 а отроковицј ничего не дјлай, на отроковицј нјтъ преступленія смертнаго: ибо это тоже, какъ еслибы кто возсталъ на ближняго своего и убилъ его.

27 Ибо онъ встрјтился съ нею въ полј, и хотя отроковица обрученная кричала, но некому было спасти ее.

28 Если кто нибудь встрјтится съ дјвицею необрученпою, и возьметъ ее, и ляжетъ съ нею, и застанутъ ихъ:

29 то лежавшій съ нею долженъ дать отцу отроковицы пятьдесятъ сиклей серебра, а она пусть будетъ его женою, потому что онъ опорочилъ ее; во всю жизнь свою онъ не долженъ разводиться съ нею.

30 Никто не долженъ брать жены отца своего, и открывать край одежды отца своего.

10669. 'In ploughing and harvesting you shall rest' means so far as the implanting of truth in good and the reception of that truth are concerned. This is clear from the meaning of 'ploughing' as the implanting of truth in good, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'harvesting' as the reception of truth in good. 'Harvesting' has this meaning because 'standing grain' means truth in the process of being conceived, 9146, and 'an ear' means truth, the container [of good], while 'wheat' or 'barley' in the ear means good, receiving and also received by [truth]. What should be understood at present however is that human labour involved in this kind of harvesting will cease, since it says, 'In ploughing and harvesting you shall rest'. For by 'rest' on the sabbath day the second state of regeneration is meant, when a person experiences peace, abides in heaven, and is led by the Lord, at which stage those things are brought about without labour or effort on man's part.

'Harvest' means the reception of truth by good, see 9295.

'The sabbath' means a state of peace, when a person is led by the Lord, in the places referred to in 10668.

[2] The reason why 'ploughing' means the implanting of truth in good is that the Church in respect of good, thus also the Church's good, is meant by 'the field', and the truth of faith by 'the seed' that is sown in it.

'The field' means the Church in respect of good, see 2971, 3196, 3310, 3317, 7502, 9139, 9141, 9295.

'Seed' means the truth of faith, 1940, 3310, 3373, 3671, 6158.

[3] Reference is made very many times in the Word to earth or land, ground, field, seedtime, harvest, standing grain, threshing-floor, grain, wheat, and barley; and in those places they mean the kinds of things that are involved in the establishment of the Church and that are involved in the regeneration of a person who is in the Church, thus the kinds of things that are connected with the truth of faith and the good of love which constitute the Church. The reason why those kinds of things are meant lies in correspondence; for all things on this planet, including those in its vegetable kingdom, correspond to spiritual realities that exist in heaven, as is plainly evident from the things which appear there. For in heaven newly ploughed fields, open ones, gardens of flowers, fields ready to be harvested, land planted with trees, and similar things such as exist on earth are seen; and it is well known to those who are there that the realities composing heaven, thus those composing the Church, are what appear before their eyes in this kind of way.

[4] A person reading the Word thinks that such things there are no more than metaphors. But they should be seen to be real correspondences, as with the following in Isaiah,

Listen and hear my voice. Is it all day that the ploughman will plough to sow? That he will open and harrow his ground? When he has levelled its surface 1 does he not scatter the black cummin and sow the cummin? So [the reaper] stores away the measured wheat, the designated barley, and his appointed spelt. So He trains him for judgement, his God teaches him. Isaiah 28:23-26.

These things look like metaphors, but they are real correspondences, which serve to describe the reformation and regeneration of a member of the Church; and this is why it goes on to say, 'So He trains him for judgement, his God teaches him'. 'Training him for judgement' means endowing him with intelligence, for 'judgement' means an intelligent understanding of truth, 2235, and 'teaching him', when done by God, means endowing him with wisdom. From this it may be seen what 'ploughing', 'harrowing', 'scattering the black cummin', 'sowing the cummin', and 'storing away wheat, barley, and spelt' mean, namely this: 'Ploughing' means implanting truth in good; 'harrowing' setting those things in order; 'black cummin' and 'cummin' factual knowledge, this being what a person acquires first, in order that he may receive intelligence; 'wheat' the good of love in the internal man, see 3941, 7605; 'barley' the good of love in the external man, 7602; and 'spelt' the truth which goes with that good, 7605.

[5] Correspondence, not the use of metaphor, gives 'ploughing' its meaning as the first phase of the Church in general and also in particular with each person who is being regenerated or becoming an embodiment of the Church, as is evident from the following words in Moses,

You shall not sow your vineyard with mixed seed. You shall not plough with an ox and an ass together. You shall not wear a garment made of wool and flax mixed together 2 . Deuteronomy 22:9-11.

These words imply that states of goodness and truth are not to be mixed up one with another. For 'vineyard' means the Church in respect of truth, whereas 'field' means the Church in respect of good. 'Ploughing with an ox' means making ready by means of good, 'ploughing with an ass' doing so by means of truth; and 'wool' too means good, whereas 'flax' means truth. The situation is this: Those in the Lord's celestial kingdom live in a state of good, whereas those in His spiritual kingdom live in a state of truth; those who live in one state cannot do so in the other. Can anyone fail to see that those words serve to mean a higher level of things? If they did not do so what harm would there be in sowing a vineyard with mixed seed, ploughing with an ox and ass together, or wearing a garment made of wool and flax mixed together?
