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.

8977. 'If he comes in his body' means truth without delight. This is clear from the meaning of 'body' as truth by itself, thus truth without its delight; for 'body' is used here to mean a slave by himself without a woman, that is, without delight, since a woman linked to a slave is delight joined to truth, as will become evident from what follows below. The situation with this arcanum is that members of the external Church, who were represented by 'Hebrew slaves', are those who learn truth not because of any delight in it, only because it is the truth that is taught by the Church and is the means by which, they believe, they can be saved. This belief is what drives them to learn and know it. These are the ones who are meant in the internal sense by slaves who 'come in their body and go out in their body'. With them no more than the strengthening of truth is accomplished. In the next life such people are at the entrance to heaven and not actually in heaven; they are called skin spirits because they correspond in the Grand Man to the skin, 5553-5559.

[2] But those imbued with truth to which delight has been joined are the ones who are meant here in the internal sense by slaves who come with a woman; for 'woman' means good when 'man' means truth. Here however delight is meant, since this exists in place of good in a member of the external Church. The good which such a person possesses does not spring from a spiritual origin but from a natural origin, for it savours of a delight to do the truth in life and to teach it for the sake of gain or important position, consequently for a selfish reason. This is why the word 'delight' is used and not 'good'. To outward appearance it does indeed seem like good; but because it is natural good, that is, has a worldly origin, not a heavenly one, it is called delight.

[3] Good that springs from a spiritual origin however is meant in the internal sense by the woman whom a master gives to his slave. But it cannot be joined [to truth]; and that was why it was stipulated that when the slave went out the woman was to be the master's, as also were her sons and daughters. For spiritual good is good not for the sake of gain or important positions but for the sake of the Church and the spiritual welfare of the neighbour. Such good cannot be joined to those confined to the outward things of the Church, since it is the genuine good of charity, springing out of love and affection. Those confined to the outward things of the Church cannot have any affection for the truths of faith without putting themselves first and the Church second. Though such people can indeed act in accordance with truths, thus can do good, they do not act from affection but out of obedience. These are the ones who are meant in the internal sense by those who wish to remain slaves forever.

[4] These are the arcana which the internal sense contains in these regulations regarding slaves, which can be grasped only by those imbued with the good of charity, and not at all by those imbued with the truth of faith without that good. The reason why is that those imbued with the good of charity are in the light of heaven, and from that light see things that exist in the light of the world. But those imbued with the truth of faith and not with the good of charity are in the light of the world, from which light things that exist in the light of heaven cannot be seen; for the light of heaven shines above, that is, on an inward level, whereas the light of the world shines below or on an outward level. Things on a lower or more external level can be seen from a higher or more internal one, but not the reverse; for heaven can flow into the world, but not the world into heaven, 3721, 5119, 5259, 5779, 6322.
