Jezekilj 20

Studie

   

1 A sedme godine, petog meseca, dana desetog, dođoše neki od starešina Izrailjevih da upitaju Gospoda, i sedoše preda mnom.

2 I dođe mi reč Gospodnja govoreći:

3 Sine čovečji, kaži starešinama Izrailjevim i reci im: Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Dođoste li da me pitate? Tako ja živ bio, nećete me pitati, govori Gospod Gospod.

4 Hoćeš li da im sudiš? Hoćeš li da im sudiš? Sine čovečji. Pokaži im gadove otaca njihovih.

5 I reci im: Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Kog dana izabrah Izrailja i podigoh ruku svoju semenu doma Jakovljevog, i pokazah im se u zemlji misirskoj, i podigoh im ruku svoju govoreći: Ja sam Gospod Bog vaš;

6 Onog dana podigoh im ruku svoju da ću ih odvesti iz zemlje misirske u zemlju koju sam pronašao za njih, gde teče mleko i med, koja je dika svim zemljama.

7 I rekoh im: Odbacite svaki gadove ispred svojih očiju, i nemojte se skvrniti o gadne bogove misirske, ja sam Gospod Bog vaš.

8 Ali se odvrgoše od mene, i ne hteše me poslušati, nijedan ih ne odbaci gadova ispred očiju svojih, i gadnih bogova misirskih ne ostaviše; zato rekoh da ću izliti jarost svoju na njih da izvršim gnev svoj na njima usred zemlje misirske.

9 Ali imena svog radi, da se ne oskvrni pred onim narodima među kojima behu, pred kojima im se pokazah, učinih da ih izvedem iz zemlje misirske.

10 I izvedoh ih iz zemlje misirske, i dovedoh ih u pustinju.

11 I dadoh im uredbe svoje, i objavih im zakone svoje, koje ko vrši, živ će biti kroz njih.

12 I subote svoje dadoh im da su znak između mene i njih da bi znali da sam ja Gospod koji ih posvećujem.

13 Ali se odvrže od mene dom Izrailjev u pustinji; ne hodiše po mojim uredbama, i zakone moje odbaciše, koje ko vrši živi kroz njih, i subote moje grdno oskvrniše; zato rekoh da ću izliti gnev svoj na njih u pustinji da ih istrebim.

14 Ali učinih, imena svog radi, da se ne oskvrni pred narodima pred kojima ih izvedoh.

15 I ja im još podigoh ruku svoju u pustinji da ih neću odvesti u zemlju koju im dadoh, gde teče mleko i med, koja je dika svim zemljama;

16 Jer odbaciše moje zakone i po uredbama mojim ne hodiše, i subote moje oskvrniše, jer srce njihovo iđaše za gadnim bogovima njihovim.

17 Ali ih požali oko moje, te ih ne istrebih, i ne zatrh ih u pustinji.

18 Nego rekoh sinovima njihovim u pustinji: Ne idite po uredbama otaca svojih i ne držite njihove zakone, i ne skvrnite se gadnim bogovima njihovim.

19 Ja sam Gospod Bog vaš, po mojim uredbama hodite, i moje zakone držite i izvršujte;

20 I subote moje svetkujte da su znak između mene i vas, da znate da sam ja Gospod Bog vaš.

21 Ali se odvrgoše od mene i sinovi, ne hodiše po mojim uredbama, i zakone moje ne držaše da ih izvršuju, koje ko vrši živi kroz njih; subote moje oskvrniše; zato rekoh da ću izliti jarost svoju na njih i navršiti gnev svoj na njima u pustinji.

22 Ali povratih ruku svoju i učinih imena svog radi da se ne oskvrni pred narodima pred kojima ih izvedoh.

23 I ja im još podigoh ruku svoju u pustinji da ću ih rasejati po narodima i razasuti po zemljama.

24 Jer zakone moje ne izvršavaše i uredbe moje odbaciše i subote moje oskvrniše, i oči im gledahu za gadnim bogovima otaca njihovih.

25 Zato im i ja dadoh uredbe ne dobre i zakone kroz koje neće živeti.

26 I oskvrnih ih darovima njihovim što propuštahu kroz oganj sve što otvori matericu, da ih potrem, da poznadu da sam ja Gospod.

27 Zato govori domu Izrailjevom, sine čovečji, i kaži im: Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Još me i ovim ružiše oci vaši čineći mi bezakonje:

28 Kad ih odvedoh u zemlju, za koju podigoh ruku svoju da ću im je dati, gde god videše visok hum i drvo granato, onde prinosiše svoje žrtve i stavljaše svoje dare, kojima dražahu, i metaše mirise svoje ugodne, i onde liše nalive svoje.

29 I rekoh im: Šta je visina, na koju idete? I opet se zove visina do danas.

30 Zato reci domu Izrailjevom: Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Ne skvrnite li se na putu otaca svojih? I za gadovima njihovim ne kurvate li se?

31 I prinoseći dare svoje, provodeći sinove svoje kroz oganj ne skvrnite li se o sve gadne bogove svoje do danas, i mene li ćete pitati, dome Izrailjev? Tako ja živ bio, govori Gospod Gospod, nećete me pitati.

32 A šta mislite, neće biti nikako, što govorite: Bićemo kao narodi, kao plemena po zemljama, služeći drvetu i kamenu.

33 Tako ja bio živ, govori Gospod Gospod, rukom krepkom i mišicom podignutom i izlivenim gnevom carovaću nad vama.

34 I izvešću vas iz naroda, i sabraću vas iz zemalja po kojima ste rasejani, rukom krepkom i mišicom podignutom i izlivenim gnevom.

35 I odvešću vas u pustinju tih naroda, i onde ću se suditi s vama licem k licu.

36 Kako sam se sudio s ocima vašim u pustinji zemlje misirske, tako ću se suditi s vama, govori Gospod Gospod.

37 I propustiću vas ispod štapa i dovesti vas u sveze zavetne.

38 I odlučiću između vas odmetnike i koji odustaju mene; izvešću ih iz zemlje gde su došljaci, ali neće ući u zemlju Izrailjevu, i poznaćete da sam ja Gospod.

39 Vi, dakle, dome Izrailjev, ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Idite, služite svaki gadnim bogovima svojim i u napredak, kad nećete da me slušate; ali imena mog svetog ne skvrnite više darovima svojim i gadnim bogovima svojim.

40 Jer na mojoj gori svetoj, na visokoj gori Izrailjevoj, govori Gospod Gospod, onde će mi služiti sav dom Izrailjev, koliko ih god bude u zemlji, onde će mi biti mili i onde ću iskati prinose vaše i prvine od darova vaših sa svim svetim stvarima vašim.

41 Mili ćete mi biti s ugodnim mirisom, kad vas izvedem iz naroda i saberem vas iz zemalja u koje ste rasejani; i biću posvećen u vama pred narodima.

42 I poznaćete da sam ja Gospod kad vas dovedem u zemlju Izrailjevu, u zemlju za koju podigoh ruku svoju da ću je dati ocima vašim.

43 I onde ćete se opomenuti puteva svojih i svih dela svojih, kojima se oskvrniste, i sami ćete sebi biti mrski za sva zla svoja koja činiste.

44 I poznaćete da sam ja Gospod kad vam učinim radi imena svog; ne po vašim zlim putevima niti po opakim delima vašim, dome Izrailjev, govori Gospod Gospod.

9223. '[And] you shall not be slow [to offer] the firstfruits of your grain and the firstfruits of your wine' means that since all the good and the truth of faith come from the Lord they are to be ascribed to Him, not to self. This is clear from the meaning of 'the firstfruits' as those things which must occupy first place, thus which are the chief of them all, dealt with below; from the meaning of 'grain' as the good of the truth of faith, dealt with in 5295, 5410, 5959, and from the meaning of 'wine' as the truth of good, thus the truth of the good of faith, dealt with in 1798, 6377; and from the meaning of 'not being slow', when it has reference to the good and truth of faith, as ascribing from affection, since that which is done not slowly but swiftly is done from love and affection, 7695, 7866. The reason why ascribing to the Lord is meant is that the firstfruits, like the firstborn also, were given to Jehovah, and by Jehovah to Aaron and his seed, 'Jehovah' being used in the Word to mean the Lord, 1736, 2921, 3023, 3035, 5663, 6303, 6945, 6956, 8274, 8864. Consequently since the firstfruits of grain and wine are forms of the good and the truths of faith, the meaning is that they are to be ascribed to the Lord since they come from Him. For the truth that everything composing a person's thought and will flows in, and the truth that all goodness and truth come from the Lord, see 2886-2888, 3142, 3147, 4151, 4249, 5119, 5147, 5150, 5259, 5482, 5649, 5779, 5854, 5893, 6027, 6982, 6985, 6996, 7004, 7055, 7056, 7058, 7270, 7343, 8321, 8685, 8701, 8717, 8728, 8823, 8864, 9110, 9111; and the same truths from experience, 6053-6058, 6189-6215, 6307-6327, 6466-6495, 6598-6626.

[2] The firstfruits that were to be offered to the Lord were the firstfruits of the harvest and the firstfruits of vintage, 1 also the firstfruits of shearing, and the firstfruits of fruit too. The firstfruits of the harvest were parched and fresh ears of grain, also a sheaf that was to be waved, and afterwards products of the threshing-floor, which were cakes, while the firstfruits of vintage were the firstfruits of wine, must, and oil. In addition to these there were the firstfruits of shearing the flock, and also the firstfruits of fruit, which were offered in a basket. In addition also all the firstborn were offered to the Lord, though the firstborn of human beings were redeemed, as also were the firstborn of animals that were not offered in sacrifices, such as those of asses, mules, horses, and the like. Firstfruits and firstborn were offered to Jehovah and were given by Jehovah to Aaron and his seed because Aaron and his sons, who served in the office of high priest, represented the Lord. In the present verse 'the firstfruits of grain and of wine' is used to mean all the firstfruits of harvest and vintage that have been referred to immediately above. For the words used in the original language are 'the fullness of grain' and 'the tear of wine', 'fullness' being the harvest when it has ripened and also been gathered in, and 'tears' drops of fluid that trickle down.

[3] What was represented specifically by firstfruits - for all the religious laws and practices which the Lord commanded the children of Israel represented internal aspects of the Church - becomes clear when the particular products whose firstfruits were offered are considered in the internal sense. 'Grain' means the good of faith and 'wine' the truth of faith, as may be seen in the places referred to above. Giving firstfruits to Jehovah was a sign that the ascription of every good and truth of faith to the Lord and not to self was the first thing of the Church. Ascribing them to the Lord consists in knowing, acknowledging, and believing that they spring from the Lord and in no way at all from self; for as shown above, faith comes entirely from the Lord. The reason why 'the firstfruits' have this meaning is that firstfruits were offerings and gifts which were thanksgivings for the fruits of the earth. They were the acknowledgement of blessings from Jehovah, that is, from the Lord, and therefore the acknowledgement that all things came from Him. In the internal sense they are the acknowledgement [that He is the Source] of every good and truth of faith, which are meant by harvest, grain, oil, must, wine, wool, and fruit, whose firstfruits were given. Regarding these 'firstfruits', see Exodus 23:19; 34:26; Leviticus 23:10-11, 20; Numbers 15:19-21; 18:12-13; Deuteronomy 18:4; 26:1-11; and 'firstfruits' have a similar meaning in Ezekiel 20:40 and Micah 7:1-2.

Exodus 22

Studie

   

1 "If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and kills it, or sells it; he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.

2 If the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt of bloodshed for him.

3 If the sun has risen on him, guilt of bloodshed shall be for him; he shall make restitution. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

4 If the stolen property is found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, donkey, or sheep, he shall pay double.

5 "If a man causes a field or vineyard to be eaten, and lets his animal loose, and it grazes in another man's field, he shall make restitution from the best of his own field, and from the best of his own vineyard.

6 "If fire breaks out, and catches in thorns so that the shocks of grain, or the standing grain, or the field are consumed; he who kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.

7 "If a man delivers to his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it is stolen out of the man's house; if the thief is found, he shall pay double.

8 If the thief isn't found, then the master of the house shall come near to God, to find out if he hasn't put his hand to his neighbor's goods.

9 For every matter of trespass, whether it be for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any kind of lost thing, about which one says, 'This is mine,' the cause of both parties shall come before God. He whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbor.

10 "If a man delivers to his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies or is injured, or driven away, no man seeing it;

11 the oath of Yahweh shall be between them both, whether he hasn't put his hand to his neighbor's goods; and its owner shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.

12 But if it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to its owner.

13 If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it for evidence. He shall not make good that which was torn.

14 "If a man borrows anything of his neighbor's, and it is injured, or dies, its owner not being with it, he shall surely make restitution.

15 If its owner is with it, he shall not make it good. If it is a leased thing, it came for its lease.

16 "If a man entices a virgin who isn't pledged to be married, and lies with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife.

17 If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

18 "You shall not allow a sorceress to live.

19 "Whoever has sex with an animal shall surely be put to death.

20 "He who sacrifices to any god, except to Yahweh only, shall be utterly destroyed.

21 "You shall not wrong an alien, neither shall you oppress him, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

22 "You shall not take advantage of any widow or fatherless child.

23 If you take advantage of them at all, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;

24 and my wrath will grow hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

25 "If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor; neither shall you charge him interest.

26 If you take your neighbor's garment as collateral, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down,

27 for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What would he sleep in? It will happen, when he cries to me, that I will hear, for I am gracious.

28 "You shall not blaspheme God, nor curse a ruler of your people.

29 "You shall not delay to offer from your harvest and from the outflow of your presses. "You shall give the firstborn of your sons to me.

30 You shall do likewise with your cattle and with your sheep. Seven days it shall be with its mother, then on the eighth day you shall give it to me.

31 "You shall be holy men to me, therefore you shall not eat any flesh that is torn by animals in the field. You shall cast it to the dogs.
