Izlazak 22

Studie

   

1 Ko ukrade vola ili ovcu ili kozu, i zakolje ili proda, da vrati pet volova za jednog vola, a četiri ovce ili koze za jednu ovcu ili kozu.

2 Ako se lupež uhvati gde potkopava, te bude ranjen tako da umre, da ne bude kriv za krv onaj koji ga bude ubio;

3 Ali ako se bude sunce rodilo, da je kriv za krv. A lupež sve da naknadi; ako li ne bi imao, onda da se on proda za svoju krađu.

4 Ako se nađe šta je pokrao u njegovoj ruci živo, bio vo ili magarac ili ovca ili koza, da vrati dvostruko.

5 Ko potre njivu ili vinograd pustivši stoku svoju da pase po tuđoj njivi, da naknadi najboljim sa svoje njive i najboljim iz svog vinograda.

6 Ako izađe vatra i naiđe na trnje, pa izgori stog ili žito koje još stoji ili njiva, da naknadi onaj koji je zapalio.

7 Ako ko da bližnjemu svom novce ili posuđe na ostavu, pa se ukrade iz kuće njegove, ako se nađe lupež, da plati dvojinom;

8 Ako li se ne nađe lupež, onda gospodar od one kuće da stane pred sudije da se zakune da nije posegao rukom svojom na stvar bližnjeg svog.

9 Za svaku stvar za koju bi bila raspra, ili za vola ili za magarca ili za ovcu ili za kozu, ili za haljinu, za svaku stvar izgubljenu, kad ko kaže da je njegova, pred sudije da dođe raspra obojice, pa koga osude sudije, onaj da vrati bližnjemu svom dvojinom.

10 Ako ko da bližnjemu svom da čuva magarca ili vola ili ovcu ili kozu ili kako god živinče, pa ugine ili ohrone, ili ga ko otera a da niko ne vidi,

11 Zakletva Gospodnja neka bude između njih, da nije posegao rukom svojom na stvar bližnjeg svog, i gospodar od stvari neka pristane, a onaj da ne plati.

12 Ako li mu bude ukradeno, neka plati gospodaru njegovom.

13 Ako li ga bude rastrgla zverka da donese od njega svedodžbu, i da ne plati šta je rastrgnuto.

14 Ako ko uzme od bližnjeg svog živinče na poslugu, pa ohrone ili ugine, a gospodar mu ne bude kod njega, da plati.

15 Ako li gospodar bude kod njega, da ne plati. Ako li bude najmljeno, da plati samo najam.

16 Ko bi prevario devojku, koja nije zaručena, te bi spavao s njom, da joj da miraz i uzme je za ženu.

17 A ako mu je otac njen ne bi hteo dati, da da novaca koliko ide u miraz devojci.

18 Veštici ne daj da živi.

19 Ko bi obležao živinče, da se pogubi.

20 Ko žrtvu prinosi bogovima drugim osim jedinog Gospoda, da se istrebi kao prokletnik.

21 Došljaku nemoj činiti krivo niti ga ucveliti, jer ste bili došljaci u zemlji misirskoj.

22 Nemojte ucveliti udovice i sirote.

23 Ako li koju ucveliš u čem god, i poviče k meni, čuću viku njenu,

24 I zapaliće se gnev moj, i pobiću vas mačem, pa će vaše žene biti udovice i vaša deca sirote.

25 Kad daš u zajam novaca narodu mom, siromahu koji je kod tebe, nemoj mu biti kao kamatnik, ne udarajte na nj kamate.

26 Ako uzmeš u zalogu haljinu bližnjemu svom, vrati mu je pre nego sunce zađe;

27 Jer mu je to sve odelo čim zaklanja telo svoje; u čem će spavati? Pa kad poviče k meni, ja ću ga čuti, jer sam milostiv.

28 Nemoj psovati sudije, i starešini naroda svog ne govori ružno.

29 Od letine svoje i od žitkih stvari svojih nemoj se zatezati da prineseš prvine; prvenca između sinova svojih meni da daš.

30 Tako čini s volom svojim i s ovcom i s kozom; sedam dana neka bude s majkom svojom, a osmog dana da ga daš meni.

31 Bićete mi sveti ljudi; mesa u polju rastrgnuta ne jedite, bacite ga psima.

9228. The fact that 'seven' means a whole period from start to finish, thus what is complete, is clear from a large number of places in the Word, as in Isaiah,

The light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, on the day when Jehovah will bind up the hurt 1 of His people. Isaiah 30:26.

This refers to the salvation of faithful believers and their intelligence and wisdom in the Lord's kingdom. 'The moon' is faith received from the Lord, thus belief in the Lord, and 'the sun' is love derived from the Lord, thus love to the Lord, 30-38, 1521, 1529-1531, 2441, 2495, 3636, 3643, 4060, 4321 (end), 4696, 5377, 7078, 7083, 7171, 8644. 'The light of the sun will be sevenfold, as the light of seven days' means a complete state of intelligence and wisdom because of love to and belief in the Lord.

[2] In Ezekiel,

The inhabitants of the cities of Israel will go out, and they will set alight and burn the weapons, both shield and buckler, together with bow and arrows, and hand-staff, and spear; they will set fire to them for seven years, that they may not bring wood from the field nor cut down any from the forests. And they will cleanse the land in seven months. Ezekiel 39:9-10, 12.

This refers to the destruction of falsity. 'The weapons' that are listed here are falsities used by those who are evil to fight against the Church's truths. 'Setting fire to them for seven years' means complete destruction brought about by the desires of self-love and love of the world. 'In order that they may bring no wood from the field or cut down any from the forests' means when no good at all survives, neither in the internal man nor in the external. 'Cleansing the land in seven months' means the complete restoration of goodness and truth within the Church. It has been shown in very many places that 'weapons' are truths fighting against falsities, and in the contrary sense falsities fighting against truths; that 'bow and arrows' means teachings that present truth, and in the contrary sense teachings that present falsity; that 'hand-staff' means the power of truth, and in the contrary sense the power of falsity; that 'setting alight and burning' means laying waste through the desires of self-love and love of the world; that 'wood from the field' means the Church's forms of interior good, and 'wood from the forests' factual knowledge of goodness and truth; and that 'the land' means the Church. Anyone can see that different things are meant here from those which present themselves in the letter, as when it says that they will burn the weapons, and set them alight for seven years, in order that they may bring no wood from the field or cut down any from the forests. People do indeed know that things of a holy and Divine nature are meant, because the Word is holy and comes from God. But they cannot by any means know which things of a holy and Divine nature are contained in these words unless they know what the meaning is of 'weapons', 'seven years' and 'seven months', 'wood from the field' and 'wood from the forests'. From this it is evident that without knowledge gained from the internal sense those prophetic utterances are completely unintelligible.

[3] In David,

Seven times in the day I praise You over the judgements of Your righteousness. Psalms 119:164.

In the same author,

Repay [our] neighbours sevenfold into their bosom. Psalms 79:12.

'Sevenfold' means completely. The meaning is similar in Moses, where it says that they would be punished sevenfold if they went against commandments and statutes, Leviticus 26:18, 21, 24, 28. Anyone who does not know that 'seven' means a whole period from start to finish, and therefore what is complete, will suppose that 'seven weeks' in Daniel means seven lengths of time,

Know and perceive that from the going forth of the Word to restore and to build Jerusalem until the Messiah, the Prince, there will be seven weeks. Daniel 9:25.

But 'seven weeks until the Messiah, the Prince' means what is said of the Lord, namely that He will come in the fullness of time, so that 'seven weeks' means a whole period. From this it is evident that the seven spirits before God's throne, Revelation 1:4, the book sealed with seven seals, Revelation 5:1, and the seven angels holding 'the seven bowls, which are the seven last plagues, Revelation 15:1, 6-7; 21:9, do not mean seven spirits, seven seals, or seven angels, bowls, and plagues, but all things even to completeness. The statement in 1 Samuel 2:5 that the barren has borne seven in like manner does not mean seven but a great amount, even to a complete amount.

[4] Because 'seven' had this meaning it was stipulated that a priest at his initiation should wear the garments for seven days, Exodus 29:30; that his hands should be filled for seven days, 2 Exodus 29:35; that the altar should be sanctified for seven days, Exodus 29:37; and that those initiated into the priesthood should not depart from the tent [of meeting] for seven days, Leviticus 8:33-34. So too with the reference to the unclean spirit going out of a person and returning with seven others, Matthew 12:43-45; Luke 11:26; also where it says that if a brother sins seven times in a day and is seven times converted he is to be forgiven, Luke 17:4; and that the heart of Nebuchadnezzar was changed from [that of] a human being and the heart of a beast was given to him while seven times passed by, Daniel 4:15, 25, 32. For the same reasons also Job's friends sat down with him on the earth seven days and seven nights and spoke nothing to him, Job 2:13. Seventy in a similar way means that which is complete, see 6508, as also does a week, 2044, 3845. From all this it now becomes clear that 'the eighth day' means the initial phase of the following state.
