Levitski Zakonik 19

1 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

2 Kaži svemu zboru sinova Izrailjevih, i reci im: Budite sveti, jer sam ja svet, Gospod Bog vaš.

3 Svaki da se boji matere svoje i oca svog; i držite subote moje; ja sam Gospod Bog vaš.

4 Ne obraćajte se k idolima, i bogove livene ne gradite sebi; ja sam Gospod Bog vaš.

5 A kad prinosite žrtvu zahvalnu Gospodu, prinosite je drage volje.

6 U koji je dan prinesete, neka se jede, i sutradan; a šta ostane do trećeg dana, neka se ognjem sažeže.

7 A ako bi se šta jelo treći dan, gad je, neće biti ugodna.

8 Ko bi god jeo, nosiće svoje bezakonje, jer oskvrni svetinju Gospodnju; zato će se istrebiti ona duša iz naroda svog.

9 A kad žanjete rod zemlje svoje, nemoj požeti sasvim njivu svoju, niti pabirči po žetvi.

10 Ni vinograd svoj nemoj pabirčiti, i nemoj kupiti zrna koja padnu po vinogradu tvom; nego ostavi siromahu i došljaku. Ja sam Gospod Bog vaš.

11 Ne kradite; ne lažite i ne varajte bližnjeg svog.

12 Ne kunite se imenom mojim krivo; jer ćeš oskvrniti ime Boga svog. Ja sam Gospod.

13 Ne zakidaj bližnjeg svog i ne otimaj mu; plata nadničarova da ne prenoći kod tebe do jutra.

14 Nemoj psovati gluvog, ni pred slepca metati šta da se spotakne; nego se boj Boga svog; ja sam Gospod.

15 Ne činite nepravdu na sudu, ne gledajte što je ko siromah, niti se povodi za bogatim; pravo sudi bližnjemu svom.

16 Ne idi kao opadač po narodu svom, i ne ustaj na krv bližnjeg svog; ja sam Gospod.

17 Nemoj mrzeti na brata svog u srcu svom; slobodno iskaraj bližnjeg svog, i nemoj trpeti greha na njemu.

18 Ne budi osvetljiv, i ne nosi srdnju na sinove naroda svog; nego ljubi bližnjeg svog kao sebe samog; ja sam Gospod.

19 Uredbe moje držite; živinčeta svog ne puštaj na živinče druge vrste; ne zasevaj njive svoje dvojakim semenom, i ne oblači na se haljine od dvojakih stvari.

20 Ako bi ko obležao robinju, koja je isprošena ali nije otkupljena ni oslobođena, oboje da se šibaju, ali da se ne pogube; jer nije bila oslobođena.

21 I neka on prinese Gospodu žrtvu za prestup svoj na vrata šatora od sastanka, ovna za prestup.

22 I neka ga očisti pred Gospodom sveštenik ovnom prinesenim za prestup od greha koji je učinio; i oprostiće mu se greh njegov.

23 A kad dođete u zemlju i nasadite svakojakog voća, obrežite mu okrajak, rod njegov; tri godine neka vam je neobrezano, i ne jedite ga.

24 A četvrte godine neka bude sav rod njegov posvećen u hvalu Gospodu.

25 Pa tek pete godine jedite voće s njega, da bi vam se umnožio rod njegov. Ja sam Gospod Bog vaš.

26 Ništa ne jedite s krvlju. Nemojte vračati, ni gatati po vremenu.

27 Ne strižite kosu svoju ukrug, ni grdite bradu svoju.

28 Za mrtvacem ne režite telo svoje, ni udarajte na se kakve belege. Ja sam Gospod.

29 Nemoj skvrniti kćer svoju puštajući je da se kurva, da se ne bi zemlja prokurvala i napunila se bezakonja.

30 Držite subote moje, i svetinju moju poštujte. Ja sam Gospod.

31 Ne obraćajte se k vračarima i gatarima, niti ih pitajte, da se ne skvrnite o njih. Ja sam Gospod Bog vaš.

32 Pred sedom glavom ustani, i poštuj lice starčevo, i boj se Boga svog. Ja sam Gospod.

33 Ako je u tebe došljak u zemlji vašoj, ne čini mu krivo.

34 Ko je došljak među vama, neka vam bude kao onaj koji se rodio među vama, i ljubite ga kao sebe samog; jer ste i vi bili došljaci u zemlji misirskoj. Ja sam Gospod Bog vaš.

35 Ne činite nepravde u sudu, ni merom za dužinu, ni merom za težinu, ni merom za stvari koje se sipaju.

36 Merila neka su vam prava, kamenje pravo, efa prava, in prav. Ja sam Gospod Bog vaš, koji sam vas izveo iz zemlje misirske.

37 Držite, dakle, sve uredbe moje i sve zakone moje, i vršite ih. Ja sam Gospod.

474. Then the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his hand to heaven and swore by Him who lives forever and ever. (10:6; 10:6) This symbolizes an attestation and testification of the Lord on His own authority.

The angel standing on the sea and on the land means the Lord (no. 470). Lifting up the hand to heaven symbolizes an attestation, here that there should be no more time (verse 6). Swearing symbolizes a testification, here that in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel the mystery of God would be concluded (verse 7). He who lives forever and ever means the Lord, as in Revelation 1:18; 4:9-10, and 5:14 above, and in Daniel 4:34. That the Lord swears on His own authority will be seen shortly.

It is apparent from this that the statement, "Then the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his hand to heaven and swore by Him who lives forever and ever," symbolizes an attestation and testification of the Lord on His own authority.

[2] That Jehovah swears or testifies on His own authority is clear from the following passages:

I have sworn by Myself; a word has gone out of My mouth (which) shall not return... (Isaiah 45:23)

I swear by Myself... that this house shall become a desolation. (Jeremiah 22:5)

Jehovah... has sworn by His soul. (Jeremiah 51:14, Amos 6:8)

...Jehovah has sworn by His holiness. (Amos 4:2)

Jehovah has sworn by His right hand and by the arm of His strength. (Isaiah 62:8)

Behold, I have sworn by My great name... (Jeremiah 44:26)

That Jehovah, which is to say, the Lord, swore by Himself or on His own authority means, symbolically, that Divine truth attests; for the Lord is Divine truth itself, and this attests of itself and on its own authority.

In addition to these passages, that Jehovah swore may be seen in Isaiah 14:24; 54:9, Psalms 89:3, 35; 95:11; 110:4; 132:11.

We are told that Jehovah swore because the church established with the children of Israel was a representational church, and the conjunction of the Lord with the church was represented by a covenant, like one made between two parties who swear to their compact. Therefore, because an oath was a part of any covenant, we are told that Jehovah swore. Still, this does not mean that He swore, but that Divine truth attests to something.

[3] That an oath was a part of any covenant is apparent from the following:

I swore an oath to you and entered into a covenant with you, so that you became Mine... (Ezekiel 16:8)

...to remember His covenant, the oath which He swore... (Luke 1:72-73; cf. Psalms 105:9, Jeremiah 11:5; 32:22, Deuteronomy 1:34; 10:11; 11:9, 21; 26:3, 15; 31:20; 34:4)

Because the covenant was representative of the conjunction of the Lord with the church, and reciprocally of the church with the Lord, and because an oath was a part of any covenant and was to be sworn on the ground of the truth in it, being sworn thus also in appeal to that truth, therefore the children of Israel were permitted to swear by Jehovah, and so in appeal to Divine truth (Exodus 20:7, Leviticus 19:12, Deuteronomy 6:13; 10:20, Isaiah 48:1; 65:16, Jeremiah 4:2, Zechariah 5:4).

After the representative constituents of the church were abrogated, however, the Lord also abrogated oaths to covenants (Matthew 5:33-37; 23:16-22).
