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.

9034. 'And when a man strikes his male slave or his female slave [with a rod]' means if anyone within the Church mistreats a factual truth or an affection for it from his own power. This is clear from the meaning of 'striking' as mistreating, for 'striking' refers to inflicting any kind of hurt; from the meaning of 'a man', here a man from among the children of Israel, as a member of the Church and therefore one in possession of spiritual truth, which is truth derived from the Word and contained in the teachings and belief of the Church, dealt with in 6426, 6637, 6862, 6868, 7035, 7062, 7198, 7201, 7215, 7223, 7957, 8234, 8805; from the meaning of 'male slave' as factual truth, which is truth belonging to the Word, as stated in its literal sense, dealt with below; from the meaning of 'a female slave' as a natural affection, thus an affection for known facts, since these reside in the natural, dealt with in 1895, 2567, 3835, 3849, 8993, 8994; and from the meaning of 'a rod' as the power of the natural, dealt with in 4876, 4936, 6947, 7011, 7026, at this point a person's own power, since it is speaking in regard to a slave who had been bought. From all this it is evident that 'when a man strikes his male slave or his female slave' means if anyone within the Church mistreats a factual truth in the Word or an affection for it.

[2] The reason why 'a male slave' means truth belonging to the literal sense of the Word is that in general 'a slave' means lower or more external things, because these things serve higher or more internal ones, 2541, 5161, 5164, 5936, 7143. From this general meaning 'a slave' means the natural, because this serves the spiritual, 3019, 3020, 5305, 7998; and following on from this it means factual truth belonging to the literal sense of the Word, for this truth serves spiritual truth belonging to the internal sense. Truth belonging to the internal sense of the Word is the same as genuine truth contained in the teachings that compose the Church's faith.

[3] In what way truth belonging to the literal sense of the Word serves spiritual truth must be stated briefly. A member of the Church first of all learns truth from the literal sense of the Word. This is general truth suited to the understanding of the external man, who dwells in natural light. That truth is received by an external route, which is that of hearing, and is stored in the external man's memory, where there are also various pieces of knowledge gained from the world, 2469-2494. Later on matters stored in this memory come under the vision or gaze of the internal man, who sees things in the light of heaven. The internal man selects and summons from among them truths that are in agreement with the good which flows in from the Lord by way of the soul and which the person has accepted. There the Lord joins the truths to the good. The truths joined in that way in the internal man are called spiritual truths, and the good to which the truths have been joined is called spiritual good. This good, given form by the truths, constitutes the person's spiritual life. The actual truths there are called the truths of faith, and the good is called the good of charity. The good in which the truths have been implanted in that way is the Church with that person.

[4] From all this one may see how truths belonging to the literal sense of the Word serve to give form to spiritual truths, in general to give form to faith and charity which compose spiritual life - life which consists in being fired by an affection for truths because they lead to good, then by an affection for the good that the truths lead to, and finally by an affection for truths that flow from that good.
