Исход 22

Studie

   

1 Если кто украдетъ вола или овцу, и заколетъ, или продастъ его: то пять воловъ заплатитъ за вола, и четыре овцы за овцу.

2 Если кто застанетъ вора подкапывающаго, и ударитъ, и убьетъ: то кровь не вмјнится ему.

3 Но если взошло надъ нимъ солнце: то вмјнится ему кровь. Укравшій долженъ заплатить; а если нечјмъ, то пусть продадутъ его для уплаты за украденное имъ.

4 Если украденное найдется у него въ рукахъ въ цјлости, волъ ли то, или оселъ, или овца: пусть заплатитъ вдвое.

5 Если кто потравитъ поле, или виноградникъ, пустивъ скотъ свой пастись на чужомъ полј; пусть отдастъ лучшее изъ поля своего, и лучшее изъ виноградника своего.

6 Если огонь пойдетъ и найдетъ терніе, и выжжетъ копны, или жатву, или поле: то долженъ заплатить кто произвелъ сей пожаръ.

7 Если отдастъ кто серебро, или вещи другому на сохраненіе, и онј украдены будутъ изъ дома его: то, буде найдутъ вора, онъ заплатитъ вдвое.

8 А буде не найдутъ вора: пусть хозяинъ дома придетъ предъ Бога, и поклянется, не простеръ ли руки на собственность ближняго своего.

9 О всякой вещи спорной, о волј, объ ослј, объ овцј, объ одеждј, о всякой вещи потерянной, о которой скажутъ, что она такая-то, дјло обоихъ должно быть представлено предъ Бога. Кого обвинитъ Богъ: тотъ заплатитъ ближнему своему вдвое.

10 Если кто отдастъ ближнему своему осла, или вола, или овцу, или какую другую скотину на сбереженіе, а она умретъ, или потерпитъ вредъ, или уведена будетъ, такъ что никто сего не увидитъ:

11 клятва Іеговы да будетъ между обоими въ томъ, что взявшій не простеръ руки своей на собственность ближняго своего; и хозяинъ приметъ, а тотъ не будетъ платить.

12 А если украдена будетъ у него: то заплатитъ хозяину ея.

13 Если же она будетъ звјремъ растерзана: то пусть представитъ тому доказательство. За растерзанную онъ не платитъ.

14 Если кто выпроситъ у ближяяго своего скотину, и она потерпитъ вредъ, или умретъ, и это не при хозяинј: то заплатитъ.

15 Если же это при хозяинј: то не платитъ. Если она взята была внаймы за деньги, то пусть и пойдетъ за ту цјну.

16 Если обольститъ кто дјвицу не обрученную, и преспитъ съ нею: пусть дастъ ей вјно, и возметъ ее себј въ жену.

17 А если отецъ не согласится выдать ее за него: пусть заплатитъ столько серебра, сколько полагается на вјно дјвицамъ.

18 Ворожеи не оставляй въ живыхъ.

19 Всякій скотоложникъ да будетъ преданъ смерти.

20 Приносящій жертву богамъ, кромј единаго Іеговы, да будетъ преданъ заклятію.

21 Пришельца не притјсняй и не угнетай его: ибо вы сами были пришельцами въ землј Египетской.

22 Ни вдовы, ни сироты не притјсняйте.

23 Если же ты притјснишь ихъ: то, когда они возопіютъ ко Мнј, Я услышу вопль ихъ;

24 и воспламенится гнјвъ Мой, и убью васъ мечемъ, и будутъ жены ваши вдовами, и дјти ваши сиротами.

25 Если дашь серебро взаймы бјдному изъ народа Моего: то не поступай съ нимъ, какъ ростовщикъ, не требуй отъ него роста.

26 Если возмешь въ залогъ одежду, ближняго твоего: до захожденія солнца возврати ему оную.

27 Ибо она есть единственный покровъ у него; она одјяніе тјла его; въ чемъ будетъ онъ спать? Итакъ когда онъ возопіетъ ко мнј: Я услышу; ибо Я милосердъ.

28 Бога не хули, и начальника въ народј твоемъ не проклинай.

29 Не медля приноситъ Мнј начатки отъ гумна твоего, и отъ точила твоего; дай Мнј первенца изъ сыновъ твоихъ.

30 Тоже дјлай съ воломъ твоимъ, и съ овцою твоею. Семь дней пусть они будутъ при матери своей, а въ осьмый день отдай ихъ Мнј.

31 Будьте у Меня людьми святыми, и мяса растерзаннаго въ полј не јшьте; псамъ бросайте его.

4433. 'And he took her, and lay with her, and ravished her' means that there was no other way in which it could be joined to the affection for truth meant by the sons of Jacob, her brothers. This is clear from the meaning of 'taking her, lying with her, and ravishing her' as being joined together, though not in the rightful way, which is through betrothal. But the meaning these words carry, that there was no other way in which they could be joined together, cannot be seen by anyone unless he knows the fuller implications of them. Interior truth received from the Ancients, which is meant by 'Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite', is the truth which among the Ancients had served the internal dimension of the Church, and so had been the internal dimension of their statutes, judgements, and laws, in short of their religious observances and the like. Those truths were their matters of doctrine on which they based their lives, which were in fact matters of doctrine concerning charity; for in ancient times those who belonged to the genuine Church had no other kind of doctrine. These same truths may be called, in relation to doctrine, the interior truths of faith, but in relation to life, goods. If a Church was to be established among the nation descended from Jacob it was necessary for them to be introduced into those truths and goods. For unless internal things are present within external ones, that is, unless people have internal things in mind when involved with external ones - and unless at the same time they feel an affection for internal things or at least unless they feel an affection for external things on account of internal ones, nothing of the Church is there. Internal things constitute the Church, for the Lord is present within these; that is to say, spiritual and celestial things originating in Him are present within them.

[2] But the nation descended from Jacob, that is, the Israelitish and Jewish nation, was unable to be introduced in the rightful way which is through betrothal, for the reason that their external worship did not correspond [to anything internal]. For they received from their fore-fathers - from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob - the worship established by Eber, which was different externally from the worship of the Ancient Church, see 1238, 1241, 1343, 2180. And because that worship was different, interior truths which existed among the Ancients were not able to be joined to it in the rightful way through betrothal, only in the way described in this chapter. This enables one to understand what is involved in the assertion that there was no other way in which it could be joined to the affection for truth meant by 'the sons of Jacob, Dinah's brothers'.

[3] But although a joining together could have been effected in this way, in accordance with the law, also known to the Ancients, which is set out in Exodus 22:16; Deuteronomy 22:28-29, the character of that nation was nevertheless such that it would by no means allow any joining of interior truth received from the Ancients to the external forms of worship that existed among the descendants of Jacob, 4281, 4290, 4293, 4307, 4314, 4316, 4317. Among that nation therefore no Church could be established, but instead merely that which was a representative of the Church, see 4281, 4288, 4307. The character of that nation, which was such that it was not only unable to receive interior truths but also completely annihilated them among themselves, is represented in this chapter by the sons of Jacob answering Shechem and Hamor deceitfully, verse 13; and after that by Simeon and Levi's 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 the slain and plundering the city, and taking away the flocks, the herds, and whatever there was in the city, in the field, and in the houses, verses 27-29. This shows what is meant by the prophetical utterances of Jacob, who by then was Israel,

Simeon and Levi are brothers; instruments of violence are their swords. Into their secret place let my soul not come; in their congregation let not my glory be united; for in their anger they killed a man, and in their pleasure they hamstrung an ox. Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce, and their fury, for it is severe. I will divide them in Jacob, and will scatter them in Israel. Genesis 49:5-7.
