Izlazak 23

Studie

   

1 Ne iznosi lažnih glasova; ne pristaj s bezbožnikom da svedočiš krivo.

2 Ne idi za množinom na zlo, i ne govori na sudu povodeći se za većim brojem da se izvrne pravda.

3 Siromahu u parnici njegovoj ne gledaj što je siromah.

4 Ako naiđeš na vola neprijatelja svog ili na magarca njegovog, gde je zalutao, odvedi ga k njemu.

5 Ako vidiš gde je nenavidniku tvom pao magarac pod teretom svojim, nemoj da ga ostaviš, nego mu pomozi.

6 Nemoj izvrnuti pravde siromahu svom u parnici njegovoj.

7 Reči lažne kloni se, i bezazlenog i pravog nemoj ubiti, jer neću opravdati bezbožnika.

8 Ne uzimaj poklona, jer poklon zaslepljuje okate i izvrće reči pravima.

9 Došljake ne cveli, jer vi znate kakva je duša došljaku, jer ste bili došljaci u zemlji misirskoj.

10 Šest godina zasejavaj zemlju svoju i sabiraj rod njen;

11 A sedme godine ostavi je neka počine, da jedu siromasi naroda tvog, a šta iza njih ostane neka jedu zveri poljske; tako radi i s vinogradom svojim i s maslinikom svojim.

12 Šest dana radi poslove svoje, a u sedmi dan počini, da se odmori vo tvoj i magarac tvoj, i da odahne sin robinje tvoje i došljak.

13 Držite se svega što sam vam kazao. Ne pominjite imena bogova tuđih, i da se ne čuje iz usta vaših.

14 Tri puta preko godine svetkuj mi:

15 Praznik presnih hlebova drži; sedam dana jedi hlebove presne, kao što sam ti zapovedio, na vreme, meseca Aviva, jer si tada izašao iz Misira; i niko da ne izađe preda me prazan;

16 I praznik žetve prvina od truda tvog što poseješ u polju svom; i praznik berbe na svršetku svake godine, kad sabereš trud svoj s njive.

17 Tri puta preko godine sve muškinje tvoje da izlazi pred Gospoda Boga.

18 Krv od žrtve moje ne prinosi uz hlebove kisele, i pretilina praznika mog da ne prenoći do jutra.

19 Prvine od prvog roda zemlje svoje donesi u kuću Gospoda Boga svog; nemoj kuvati jagnjeta u mleku majke njegove.

20 Evo, ja šaljem anđela svog pred tobom da te čuva na putu, i da te odvede na mesto koje sam ti pripravio.

21 Čuvaj ga se, i slušaj ga, nemoj da ga rasrdiš, jer vam neće oprostiti greh, jer je moje ime u njemu.

22 Nego ako ga dobro uzaslušaš i ustvoriš sve što kažem, ja ću biti neprijatelj tvojim neprijateljima i protivnik tvojim protivnicima.

23 Jer će anđeo moj ići pred tobom i odvešće te u zemlju amorejsku i hetejsku i ferezejsku i hananejsku i jevejsku i jevusejsku, i ja ću ih istrebiti.

24 Nemoj se klanjati bogovima njihovim niti im služiti, ni činiti šta oni čine, nego ih sasvim obori i likove njihove sasvim izlomi.

25 I služite Gospodu Bogu svom, i On će blagosloviti hleb tvoj i vodu tvoju; i ukloniću bolest između vas.

26 Neće biti pometkinje ni nerotkinje u zemlji tvojoj; i broj dana tvojih napuniću.

27 Pustiću strah svoj pred tobom, i uplašiću svaki narod na koji dođeš, i obratiću k tebi pleći svih neprijatelja tvojih.

28 Poslaću i stršljene pred tobom, da teraju Jeveje, Hananeje i Heteje ispred tebe.

29 Neću ih oterati ispred tebe za jednu godinu, da ne opusti zemlja i da se zverje poljsko ne namnoži na tebe.

30 Pomalo ću ih odgoniti ispred tebe dokle se ne namnožiš i zauzmeš zemlju.

31 I postaviću međe tvoje od mora crvenog do mora filistejskog i od pustinje do reke; jer ću vama u ruke dati one koji žive u onoj zemlji da ih oteraš ispred sebe.

32 Nemoj hvatati vere s njima ni s bogovima njihovim.

33 Neka ne sede u zemlji tvojoj, da te ne navrate da se ogrešiš o mene, jer bi služio bogovima njihovim, i to bi ti bila zamka.

2913. 'And spoke to the sons of Heth, saying' means those with whom a new spiritual Church was to exist. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'Heth' and of Hittite. Many were the nations inhabiting the land of Canaan who are mentioned one by one in various places in the Word, among them the Hittites, see Genesis 15:20; Exodus 3:8, 17; 13:5; 23:23; Deuteronomy 7:1; 20:17; Joshua 3:10; 11:1, 3; 12:8; 24:11; 1 Kings 9:20; and elsewhere. Most of them belonged to the Ancient Church which was spread through many lands, including the land of Canaan, see 1238, 2385. All who belonged to that Church acknowledged charity as the chief thing, and everything they taught was about charity or life. People who cultivated teachings about faith were called Canaanites and were separate from the rest of the inhabitants in the land of Canaan, Numbers 13:29 - see 1062, 1063, 1076.

[2] The Hittites belonged among those in the land of Canaan who were more acceptable. This is also made clear by the fact that Abraham, and subsequently Isaac and Jacob, dwelt among them and had a burial-place there, and also by the fact that they treated Abraham with greatest respect, as is quite clear from what is recorded about them in this chapter, especially verses 5-6, 10-11, 14-15. Since they were an upright nation they therefore represent and mean the spiritual Church, or the truth of the Church. But it happened that like all the others who belonged to the Ancient Church the Hittites fell away in the course of time from charity or good that goes with faith; and this explains why later on they mean the falsity of the Church, as in Ezekiel 16:3, 45, and elsewhere. Yet the Hittites did belong among those who were more honourable, as may be seen from the fact that David had Hittites with him, such as Ahimelech, 1 Samuel 26:6, and Uriah, who was a Hittite, 2 Samuel 11:3, 6, 17, 21 - by whose wife Bathsheba David begot Solomon, 2 Samuel 12:24. 'Heth' means exterior cognitions that have regard to life and which constitute the external truths of the spiritual Church, 1 see 1203.

[3] The subject in the present verse is a new Church which the Lord establishes when the previous one breathes its last, and in the verses which follow the subject is the reception of faith among those people. The subject is not some particular Church among the sons of Heth but in general the re-establishment by the Lord of a spiritual Church after its predecessor fades away and approaches its end. The sons of Heth are simply those who represent and carry a spiritual meaning. Please see what has been stated already about Churches in the following places:

In course of time a Church goes into decline and decay, 494, 501, 1327, 2422.

It departs from charity, and brings forth evils and falsities, 1834, 1835.

At that point the Church is said to be vastated and made desolate, 407-411, 2243.

The Church is established among gentiles; the reason why, 1366.

Within a Church undergoing vastation something of the Church is always preserved as a nucleus, 468, 637, 931, 2422.

If the Church did not exist in the world the human race would perish, ibid.

The Church is like the heart and lungs in that vast body, of which every member of the human race is a part, 637, 931, 2054, 2853.

The nature of the spiritual Church, 765, 2669.

Charity constitutes the Church, not faith separated from charity, 809, 916.

If all possessed charity the Church would be one even though they differ in matters of doctrine and in forms of worship, 1285, 1316, 1798, 1799, 1834, 1844, 2385.

All people on earth who belong to the Lord's Church, though they are scattered throughout the entire world, still so to speak make a single whole, as is the case in heaven, 2853.

Every Church is internal and external, and both together constitute a single Church, 409, 1083, 1098, 1100, 1242.

The external Church is valueless if there is no internal Church, 1795.

The Church is compared to the rise and the setting of the sun, to the seasons of the year, and also to the periods of the day, 1837.

The Last Judgement is the final period of the Church, 900, 931, 1850, 2117, 2118.
