Brojevi 5

Studie

   

1 I reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

2 Zapovedi sinovima Izrailjevim neka isteraju iz logora sve gubave i sve kojima teče seme i sve koji su se oskvrnili o mrtvaca,

3 Bio čovek ili žena, isterajte, iza logora isterajte ih, da ne skvrne logora onima među kojima nastavam.

4 I učiniše tako sinovi Izrailjevi, i isteraše ih iz logora, kako Gospod kaza Mojsiju, tako učiniše sinovi Izrailjevi.

5 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

6 Reci sinovima Izrailjevim: Čovek ili žena kad učini kakav greh ljudski, te zgreši Gospodu, i bude ona duša kriva,

7 Tada neka priznadu greh koji su učinili, i ko je kriv neka vrati celo čim je kriv i nek dometne odozgo peti deo i da onome kome je skrivio.

8 I ako onaj nema nikoga kome bi pripala naknada za štetu, neka se da Gospodu i neka bude svešteniku osim ovna za očišćenje kojim će ga očistiti.

9 Tako i svaki prinos između svih stvari koje posvećuju sinovi Izrailjevi i donose svešteniku, njegov neka bude;

10 I šta god ko posveti, neka je njegovo, i šta god ko da svešteniku, neka je njegovo.

11 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

12 Kaži sinovima Izrailjevim i reci im: Čija bi žena zastranila te bi mu zgrešila,

13 I drugi bi je obležao, a muž njen ne bi znao, nego bi ona zatajila da se oskvrnila, i ne bi bilo svedoka na nju, niti bi se zatekla,

14 A njemu bi došla sumnja ljubavna, te bi iz ljubavi sumnjao na svoju ženu, a ona bi bila oskvrnjena; ili bi mu došla sumnja ljubavna te bi iz ljubavi sumnjao na svoju ženu, a ona ne bi bila oskvrnjena,

15 Onda neka muž dovede ženu svoju k svešteniku, i neka donese za nju prinos njen, deseti deo efe brašna ječmenog, ali neka ga ne polije uljem i neka ne metne na nj kada, jer je prinos za sumnju ljubavnu, dar za spomen da se spomene greh;

16 I neka je sveštenik privede i postavi pred Gospodom.

17 I neka uzme sveštenik svete vode u sud zemljani; i praha s poda u šatoru neka uzme i uspe u vodu.

18 I postavivši sveštenik ženu pred Gospodom neka joj otkrije glavu i metne joj na ruke dar za spomen koji je dar za sumnju ljubavnu; a sveštenik neka drži u ruci svojoj gorku vodu, koja nosi prokletstvo.

19 I neka sveštenik zakune ženu, i reče joj: Ako nije niko spavao s tobom, i ako nisi zastranila od muža svog na nečistotu, neka ti ne bude ništa od ove vode gorke, koja nosi prokletstvo.

20 Ako li si zastranila od muža svog i oskvrnila se, i kogod drugi osim muža tvog spavao s tobom,

21 Tada sveštenik zaklinjući ženu neka je prokune i reče ženi: Da te Gospod postavi za uklin i za kletvu u narodu tvom učinivši da ti bedro spadne a trbuh oteče.

22 I neka ti ova voda prokleta uđe u creva da ti oteče trbuh i da ti bedro spadne. A žena neka reče: Amin, amin.

23 Tada neka napiše sveštenik te kletve u knjigu, i neka ih spere vodom gorkom.

24 I neka da ženi da se napije gorke vode proklete da uđe u nju voda prokleta i bude gorka.

25 I neka uzme sveštenik iz ruku ženi dar za sumnju ljubavnu, i obrne dar pred Gospodom i prinese ga na oltaru.

26 I neka uzme sveštenik u šaku od dara njenog spomen, i zapali na oltaru, pa onda neka da ženi vodu da popije.

27 A kad joj da vodu da pije, ako se bude oskvrnila i učinila neveru mužu svom, onda će ući voda prokleta u nju i postaće gorka, i trbuh će joj oteći i spasti bedro, i ona će žena postati uklin u narodu svom.

28 Ako li se ne bude oskvrnila žena, nego bude čista, neće joj biti ništa i imaće dece.

29 Ovo je zakon za sumnju ljubavnu, kad žena zastrani od muža svog i oskvrni se;

30 Ili kad kome dođe sumnja ljubavna te posumnja iz ljubavi na ženu svoju i postavi je pred Gospodom i svrši joj sveštenik sve po ovom zakonu.

31 I muž da je prost od greha, ali žena da nosi svoje bezakonje.

Apocalypse Explained # 547

547. And to them it was given that they should not kill them. - That this signifies that they should not be deprived of the faculty of understanding truth and of perceiving good, is clear from the signification of men, as denoting the understanding of truth and the perception of good (see above, n. 546); and from the signification of killing them, as denoting to destroy as to spiritual life, concerning which see above (n. 315); but in the present case, to deprive of the faculty of understanding truth and perceiving good. This is here signified by killing men, because every man is born into the faculty of understanding truth and perceiving good; for this faculty is the very spiritual power by which every man is differentiated from beasts. This faculty man never destroys, for if he were to destroy it, he would be no longer a man but a beast. It appears indeed as though the sensual man, who is in the falsities of evil, has destroyed it, because he neither understands truth nor perceives good when reading the Word or when hearing it from others, but still he has not destroyed the faculty itself of understanding and perceiving, but only the understanding of truth and the perception of good, so long as he is in the falsities in which he has confirmed himself from evil; for then he is averse from hearing truth, which he appears, as it were, not to be able to understand; but if the persuasion of the falsity which thus hinders be removed, he then, as a spiritual-rational man, understands and perceives that truth is truth, and that good is good.

[2] That this is the case, I have been permitted to learn by much experience. For there were many of the infernal crew, who had confirmed themselves in falsities against truths, and in evils against goods, who thence became of such a character, that they did not desire to hear anything of truth, much less to understand it, and of these therefore others formed an opinion that they could not understand truth. But the same spirits, when the persuasion of the falsity was removed from them, came into the power and faculty of understanding truth, equally as those who were in the understanding of truth and in the perception of good; but presently, having relapsed into their former state, they seemed again as though they could not understand truth, indeed they were exceedingly indignant at having understood, saying then, that nevertheless it was not truth. For affection which is of the will is the cause of all the understanding that pertains to man, the very life of the understanding being therefrom. Consider whether anyone can think without affection, and whether the affection be not the very life of the thought, consequently the life of the understanding. By affection is meant the affection which is of love, or love in its continuity. From these things it is evident that man can indeed destroy the understanding of truth and the perception of good, which is effected by the falsities of evil, but that still he does not, on that account, destroy the faculty of understanding truth and of perceiving good, since, if he destroyed that, he would no longer be a man, the human itself consisting in this faculty. It is by virtue of this faculty, that man lives after death, and then appears as a man; for the Divine is conjoined with that faculty. Hence it is, that although man, as to his twin lives, which are the life of his understanding and the life of his will, is averse to the Divine, yet by virtue of his ability to understand truth and to perceive good, he has conjunction with the Divine, and thence lives to eternity. From these things, then, it is clear, that by its being given to the locusts not to kill men, is signified, that still they should not be deprived of the faculty of understanding truth and of perceiving good.
