Ponovljeni Zakon 24

Studie

   

1 Kad ko uzme ženu i oženi se s njom, pa se dogodi da mu ona ne bude po volji, što on nađe na njoj šta god ružno, neka joj napiše knjigu raspusnu i da joj u ruke, pa neka je otpusti iz svoje kuće.

2 A ona otišavši iz kuće njegove, ako otide i uda se za drugog,

3 Pa ako ovaj drugi muž omrzne na nju i napiše joj knjigu raspusnu i da joj u ruku, i otpusti je iz svoje kuće, ili ako umre ovaj drugi muž koji se oženi njom,

4 Tada pređašnji muž koji je otpusti ne može je opet uzeti za ženu, pošto se s njega ona skvrnila, jer je gad pred Gospodom. Tako ne daj da se greši zemlja koju ti Gospod Bog tvoj daje u nasledstvo.

5 Ko se skoro bude oženio, neka ne ide na vojsku, i ne nameći na nj nikakav posao; neka bude slobodan u kući svojoj godinu dana i neka se raduje sa ženom svojom koju je doveo.

6 Niko da ne uzima u zalogu žrvanj gornji ni donji, jer bi uzeo dušu u zalogu.

7 Ko se nađe da je ukrao čoveka između braće svoje, sinova Izrailjevih, i trgovao s njim i prodao ga, neka pogine onaj kradljivac; i tako izvadi zlo iz sebe.

8 Čuvaj se bolesti gube, i pazi dobro i čini sve što vas uče Leviti, kao što sam im zapovedio, držite i činite.

9 Opominji se šta je učinio Gospod Bog tvoj Mariji na putu kad iziđoste iz Misira.

10 Kad ti je bližnji tvoj dužan šta mu drago, ne idi u kuću njegovu da mu uzmeš zalog;

11 Nego stoj napolju, a čovek koji ti je dužan neka ti iznese napolje zalog svoj.

12 Ako je siromah, ne spavaj sa zalogom njegovim.

13 Nego mu vrati zalog njegov do zahoda sunčanog, da bi ležeći na svojoj haljini blagosiljao te, a to će ti se primiti u pravdu pred Gospodom Bogom tvojim.

14 Nemoj zaneti najamnika, siromaha i potrebitoga između braće svoje, i došljaka koji je kod tebe u zemlji tvojoj u mestu tvom.

15 Podaj mu najam njegov isti dan, i da ga ne zađe sunce u tebe, jer je siromah i tim dušu drži, da ne bi zavikao na te ka Gospodu, i bilo bi ti greh.

16 Neka ne ginu očevi za sinove ni sinovi za očeve; svaki za svoj greh neka gine.

17 Ne izvrći pravice došljaku ni siroti, i ne uzimaj u zalogu haljine udovici.

18 Nego se opominji da si bio rob u Misiru, i da te je iskupio odande Gospod Bog tvoj; zato ti zapovedam da ovo činiš.

19 Kad žanješ letinu svoju na njivi svojoj, ako zaboraviš koji snop na njivi, ne vraćaj se da ga uzmeš; neka ga došljaku, siroti i udovici, da bi te blagoslovio Gospod Bog tvoj u svakom poslu ruku tvojih.

20 Kad treseš masline svoje, ne zagledaj granu po granu pošto otreseš; neka došljaku siroti i udovici.

21 Kad bereš vinograd svoj, ne pabirči šta obereš; neka došljaku siroti i udovici.

22 I opominji se da si bio rob u zemlji misirskoj; zato ti ja zapovedam da ovo činiš.

Apocalypse Explained # 919

919. (Verse 19) And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the vineyard of the earth. That this signifies that this was done, is evident from what has been just said in the above article.

That vineyard signifies the spiritual church is evident from the passages in the Word, where vineyard is mentioned:

As in Isaiah 1:8; 3:14; 5:1-10; 16:10; 36:17; 37:30; 65:21; Jeremiah 12:10; 32:15; 35:7, 9; 39:10; Ezekiel 28:26; Hosea 2:15; Amos 4:9; 5:11, 17; 9:14; Micah 1:6; Zephaniah 1:13; 1 Sam. 8:14, 15; Psalm 107:37; Matthew 20:1-8; 21:28, 38-41; Mark 12:1-9; Luke 13:6, 7; 20:9-16. And concerning a vine, see John 15:1-12.

Besides, in the historical parts of the Word. From which it is clearly evident that by a vineyard the church is meant; see also above (n. 376, 403, 638, 918), where many passages in which vineyard is mentioned are explained.

From the signification of vineyard it is evident, that by gathering the vintage, is signified to collect for uses those things that are to be serviceable to the understanding, and to impart intelligence and wisdom; and, in the opposite sense, to devastate the church as to spiritual good, and consequently as to the affection and understanding of truth. In this opposite sense, vintage and to gather the vintage are mentioned when there are no longer any clusters or grapes remaining; which, in the spiritual sense, signifies that all spiritual good, and thence all truth which in itself is truth, is destroyed; and this is chiefly effected in the church by falsifications of the Word. Also when evil of life corrupts all good, and then the falsity of doctrine perverts all truth; this is described also by devastators and thieves. That, therefore, by gathering the vintage is signified devastation, is evident from the following passages.

[2] In Isaiah:

"A cry over the wine in the streets; all joy shall be commingled; the gladness of the earth shall be banished. The remainder in the city shall be wasteness, and the gate shall be smitten even to devastation. For so shall it be in the midst of the earth, as the shaking of the olive tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done" (24:11, 12, 13).

By these words mourning over the devastation of the church as to celestial good, and as to spiritual good, is described; which, in its essence, is truth from celestial good. Devastation is compared to the shaking of an olive tree, and to the gleanings when the vintage is done; but the particulars of this passage may be seen explained above (n. 313, 638).

[3] In the same:

"Ye confident daughters in your ears perceive my word; year upon year shall ye be moved, ye confident; for the vintage is ended, the gathering shall not come" (32:9, 10).

By confident daughters are signified those in the church who love falsities more than truths. That truths with them are successively diminished and in every state, is signified by being moved year upon year. The devastation of all truth even till there is nothing remaining, is signified by the vintage being ended, and the gathering not coming.

[4] In Jeremiah:

"Upon thy fruits of autumn, and upon thy vintage, hath the spoiler fallen, whence gladness is gathered and joy out of Carmel" (48:32, 33).

By the fruits of autumn are signified the goods of the church, by the vintage are signified the truths thereof; for bread, which is there meant by the fruit of autumn, signifies the good of the church, and wine, which is of the vintage, signifies the truth thereof. By the spoiler who fell upon them, is signified evil and falsity therefrom. That the delight of spiritual and celestial love, which is the very joy of the heart, is about to perish, is signified by gladness and joy being gathered out of Carmel.

[5] In Micah:

"Woe is me! I am become as the gatherings of the summer, as the gleanings of the vintage: not a cluster to eat: my soul desireth the first-fruit" (7:1).

As the gleanings of the vintage, not a cluster to eat, signifies the devastation of the church being such that there is no longer any good and truth. The rest may be seen explained in the article just preceding.

In Jeremiah:

"If the grape-gatherers come to thee, they will not leave any gleanings: if thieves in the night, they will destroy sufficiency" (49:9).

In Obadiah:

"If thieves come to thee, if destroyers by night, when thou shalt be cut off, will they not steal till they have enough? if the grape-gatherers come to thee, will they leave any clusters?" (vers. 4, 5).

By the grape-gatherers are signified falsities, and by thieves evils, which devastate the truths and goods of the church. But by destroyers are signified both falsities and evils. By their not leaving any clusters, is signified there not being any goods because there are no truths. But by gathering the vintage, is signified to gather for uses such things especially as are to be serviceable to the understanding,

In Jeremiah 6:9; Leviticus 19:10; 26:5; Deuteronomy 20:6, 7; 24:21.
