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.

9281. And the son of thy handmaid, and the sojourner, may take breath. That this signifies the state of life of those outside the church who are in truths and goods, is evident from the signification of “the son of a handmaid,” as being those who are in the affection of external truth; for by “a son” is signified truth (see n. 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2623, 2813, 3373, 3704, 4257), and by “a handmaid” is signified external affection (n. 1895, 2567, 3835, 3849, 7780, 8993); and from the signification of “a sojourner,” as being those who wish to be instructed in the truths and goods of the church (n. 1463, 8007, 8013, 9196). That by “the son of a handmaid,” and “a sojourner,” are here signified those who are outside the church, is because in the preceding portion of this verse those who are within the church were treated of; and for this reason those who are without the church are meant by the “sons of a handmaid,” and those who have not been born within the church by “sojourners;” because the former are of a lower descent, and the latter are of a different lineage. And from the signification of “breathing,” as being the state of life in respect to the truths and goods of faith. The reason why “breathing” signifies this state of life, is that the lungs, whose office it is to breathe, correspond to the life of faith from charity, which is spiritual life (n. 97, 1119, 3351, 3635, 3883-3896, 9229).

[2] Man has an outward and an inward breathing; the outward breathing is from the world, but the inward is from heaven. When a man dies, the outward breathing ceases; but the inward breathing, which during his life in the world is tacit and imperceptible to him, continues. This breathing is altogether according to the affection of truth, thus according to the life of his faith. But those who are in no faith, as is the case with those who are in hell, do not draw their breathing from within, but from without, thus in a contrary manner; and therefore when they approach an angelic society, where there is breathing from within, they begin to be suffocated, and become like images of death (n. 3894). Therefore they cast themselves down headlong into their hell, where they resume their former breathing, which is contrary to that of heaven.

[3] As the breathing corresponds to the life of faith, therefore the life of faith is also signified by the “soul” [anima] (n. 9050), from “animation,” which denotes the breathing; and therefore also the breath is called the “spirit,” as in the expressions “drawing the breath” [spiritus], and “letting out the breath” [spiritus]. From this also in the original tongue, “spirits” are so called from the wind, and in the Word are compared to “the wind;” as in John:

The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, or whither it goeth: so is everyone that is born of the Spirit (John 3:8).

From this also it is evident what is signified by its being said that after His resurrection the Lord, when speaking with His disciples, “breathed on them, and said unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit” (John 20:22).
