Izlazak 21

Studie

   

1 A ovo su zakoni koje ćeš im postaviti:

2 Ako kupiš roba Jevrejina, šest godina neka ti služi, a sedme nek otide slobodan bez otkupa.

3 Ako bude došao inokosan, neka i otide inokosan; ako li bude imao ženu, neka ide i žena s njim.

4 Ako ga gospodar njegov oženi, i žena mu rodi sinove ili kćeri, žena s decom svojom neka bude gospodaru njegovom, a on neka otide sam.

5 Ako li rob reče tvrdo: Ljubim gospodara svog, ženu svoju i decu svoju, neću da idem da budem slobodan,

6 Onda neka ga dovede gospodar njegov pred sudije i postavi na vratima ili kod dovratka, i onde neka mu gospodar probuši uho šilom, pa neka mu robuje doveka.

7 Ako ko proda kćer svoju da bude robinja, da ne odlazi kao robovi što odlaze.

8 Ako ne bude po volji gospodaru svom, i on je ne uzme za ženu, neka je pusti na otkupe; ali da nema vlasti prodati je u tuđ narod učinivši joj neveru.

9 Ako li je zaruči sinu svom, da joj učini po pravu koje imaju kćeri.

10 Ako li uzme drugu, da joj ne umali hrane ni odela ni zajednice.

11 Ako joj ovo troje ne učini, onda nek otide bez otkupa.

12 Ko udari čoveka, te umre, da se pogubi.

13 Ako li ne bude hteo, nego mu ga Bog dade u ruke, odrediću ti mesto kuda može pobeći.

14 Ako bi ko namerno ustao na bližnjeg svog da ga ubije iz prevare, odvuci ga i od oltara mog da se pogubi.

15 Ko udari oca svog ili mater svoju, da se pogubi.

16 Ko ukrade čoveka i proda ili se nađe u njegovim rukama, da se pogubi.

17 Ko opsuje oca svog ili mater svoju, da se pogubi.

18 Kad se svade ljudi, pa jedan udari drugog kamenom ili pesnicom, ali onaj ne umre nego padne u postelju,

19 Ako se pridigne i izađe o štapu, da ne bude kriv onaj koji je udario, samo dangubu da mu naknadi i svu vidarinu da plati.

20 Ko udari roba svog ili robinju štapom tako da mu umre pod rukom, da je kriv;

21 Ali ako preživi dan ili dva, da nije kriv, jer je njegov novac.

22 Kad se svade ljudi, pa koji od njih udari trudnu ženu tako da izađe iz nje dete, ali se ne dogodi smrt, da plati globu koliko muž ženin reče, a da plati preko sudija;

23 Ako li se dogodi smrt, tada ćeš uzeti život za život,

24 Oko za Oko, zub za zub, ruku za ruku, nogu za nogu,

25 Užeg za užeg, ranu za ranu, modricu za modricu.

26 Ako ko udari po oku roba svog ili robinju svoju, te mu pokvari oko, da ga otpusti slobodnog za oko njegovo.

27 I ako izbije zub robu svom ili robinji svojoj, da ga pusti slobodnog za zub njegov.

28 Ako vo ubode čoveka ili ženu, te umre, da se vo zaspe kamenjem i da se ne jede meso od njega, a gospodar od vola da nije kriv.

29 Ali ako je vo pre bio bodač i gospodar njegov znao za to pa ga nije čuvao, te ubije čoveka ili ženu, vo da se zaspe kamenjem, i gospodar njegov da se pogubi.

30 Ako mu se odredi da se otkupi, neka da otkup za život svoj, koliko mu se odredi.

31 Ako ubode sina ili kćer, da mu bude po istom zakonu.

32 Ako li roba ubode vo ili robinju, da da gospodaru njihovom trideset sikala srebra i vo da se zaspe kamenjem.

33 Ako ko otkrije jamu ili iskopa jamu a ne pokrije, pa upadne vo ili magarac,

34 Da naknadi gospodar od jame i plati novcem gospodaru njihovom, a što je uginulo da je njegovo.

35 Ako vo jednog ubode vola drugom, te pogine, onda da prodadu vola živog i novce da podele, tako i ubijenog vola da podele.

36 Ako li se znalo da je vo pre bio bodač pa ga nije čuvao gospodar njegov, da da vola za vola, a ubijeni neka bude njemu.

Apocalypse Explained # 209

/ 1232  
  

209. Because thou hast a little power, and hast kept my Word, and hast not denied my name. That this signifies that they have power from the Lord against evils and falsities in proportion as they cause truths from the Word to enter their life and acknowledge the Divine of the Lord in His Human, is evident from the signification of thou hast a little power, as denoting power from the Lord against evils and falsities. And because the subject treated of is those who are in the faith of charity, it is said that they have a little power, of which we shall speak presently. And from the signification of and hast kept my word, as denoting the application of truths from the Word to life; for to keep truths, or precepts signifies not only to know and perceive them, but, also to will and do them; and those who thus will and do cause the truths which they know and perceive from the Word to enter into their life (see also n. 15). And from the signification of and hast not denied my name, as being to acknowledge the Divine of the Lord in His Human, concerning which see above (n. 135).

[2] It must be known, that the two principal things that constitute the church are, to acknowledge the Divine of the Lord in His Human, and to apply truths from the Word to life; nor can any person be in the one, unless he is at the same time in the other. For all truths which enter into the life, are from the Lord, and this with those who acknowledge His Divine in His Human; for the Lord flows into all, both in the heavens and on the earth, from His Divine Human, and not from the Divine separate from the Human, nor from the Human separate from the Divine. Those therefore who in their thought separate the Divine of the Lord from His Human, and look to the Divine of the Father, not as in the Human, but as near it, or above it, thus apart from it, do not receive any influx from the Lord, nor consequently from heaven, for all those who are in the heavens acknowledge the Divine Human of the Lord (concerning which see also the work, Heaven and Hell 2-12, 59-72, 78-86, and 212).

From these considerations it is evident that all truths that enter into a man's life with those who acknowledge the Divine in His Human, that is, who acknowledge the Divine Human, are from the Lord. Truths enter into a man's life when he loves them, thus when he wills them and does them; for he who loves also wills and does. In a word, truths enter into the life, when a man lives according to them from affection. The reason why those truths are from the Lord is, that the Lord flows into a man's love, and so into the truths, and thus makes these enter into his life.

[3] Something shall now be said concerning the power which man has from the Lord against evils and falsities. All the power which angels and men have is from the Lord; and in proportion as they receive the Lord, in the same proportion they have power. He who believes that power against those things is from his proprium is much deceived; for it is evil spirits, conjoined with the hells, that induce evils and thence falsities in man. Those spirits are numerous, and every one of them is conjoined with many hells, in each of which also there are many other spirits, so that no one can avert them from man but the Lord alone, for the Lord alone has power over the hells, and man has no power at all from himself or from his proprium; in proportion, therefore, as man is conjoined to the Lord by love, in the same proportion he has power.

There are two loves that reign in the heavens, and that constitute the heavens - love to the Lord and love towards the neighbour: the former is called celestial love, and the latter spiritual love. Those who are in celestial love have much power or strength, but those who are in spiritual love have little power. And because in what is written to the angel of this church those are treated of who are in love towards the neighbour, or charity, and thence in faith, which love is spiritual love, it is therefore said, Thou hast a little strength.

[4] But it must be known that all the power which angels and men have from the Lord is from the good of love; and because the good of love does not act from itself, but by means of truths, therefore all power is from the good of love by means of truths, and, with those who are spiritual, from the good of charity by means of the truth of faith. For good clothes itself with a quality by means of truths, good without truths having no quality, and where there is no quality there is neither force nor power. It is therefore evident, that all power belongs to good by means of truths, or to charity by means of faith, and none to charity without faith, nor any to faith without charity. This is what is meant by the keys given to Peter; for by Peter is meant, in the spiritual sense, truth from good from the Lord, thus faith from charity; and by the keys given to him is signified power over evils and falsities. These things were said to Peter when he acknowledged the Divine of the Lord in His Human, by which is also meant that power is given to all who acknowledge this, and who from Him are in the good of charity and thence in the truths of faith. This is evident from these words in Matthew: Jesus said to the disciples,

"Whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Then Jesus answering said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona; for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in the heavens. But I say also unto thee, Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens" (16:15-19).

(But concerning Peter and the keys given to him, see what was said above, n. 9; also what is shown in the small work, The Last Judgment 57; and in The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem 122; and that all power is in truth from good which is from the Lord, in the work, Heaven and Hell 228-233, 539; and in Arcana Coelestia 3091, 3387, 3563, 4592, 4933, 6344, 6423, 7518, 7673, 8281, 8304, 9133, 9327, 9410, 10019, 10182.)
