Deuteronomio 24

Studie

   

1 Cuando alguno tomare mujer y se casare con ella, si después no le agradare por haber hallado en ella alguna cosa torpe, le escribirá carta de repudio, y se la entregará en su mano, y la despedirá de su casa.

2 Y salida de su casa, podrá ir y casarse con otro varón.

3 Y si la aborreciere el postrer varón, y le escribiere carta de repudio, y se la entregare en su mano, y la despidiere de su casa; o si muriere el postrer varón que la tomó para sí por mujer,

4 no podrá su primer marido, que la despidió, volverla a tomar para que sea su mujer, después que fue inmunda; porque es abominación delante del SEÑOR, y no contaminarás la tierra que el SEÑOR tu Dios te da por heredad.

5 Cuando tomare alguno mujer nueva, no saldrá a la guerra, ni en ninguna cosa se le ocupará; libre estará en su casa por un año, para alegrar a su mujer que tomó.

6 No tomarás en prenda la muela de molino , ni la de abajo ni la de arriba, porque sería prendar la vida.

7 Cuando fuere hallado alguno que haya hurtado persona de sus hermanos los hijos de Israel, y hubiere mercadeado con ella, o la hubiere vendido, el tal ladrón morirá, y quitarás el mal de en medio de ti.

8 Guárdate de llaga de lepra, guardando diligentemente, y haciendo según todo lo que os enseñaren los sacerdotes levitas; cuidaréis de hacer como les he mandado.

9 Acuérdate de lo que hizo el SEÑOR tu Dios a María en el camino, después que salisteis de Egipto.

10 Cuando dieres a tu prójimo alguna cosa prestada, no entrarás en su casa para tomarle prenda.

11 Fuera estarás, y el hombre a quien prestaste, te sacará afuera la prenda.

12 Y si fuere hombre pobre, no duermas con su prenda.

13 Sin falta le devolverás la prenda cuando el sol se ponga, para que duerma en su ropa, y te bendiga; y te será justicia delante del SEÑOR tu Dios.

14 No hagas violencia al jornalero pobre y menesteroso, así de tus hermanos como de tus extranjeros que están en tu tierra en tus ciudades.

15 En su día le darás su jornal, y el sol no se pondrá sobre él; pues es pobre, y con él sustenta su vida; para que no clame contra ti al SEÑOR, y sea en ti pecado.

16 Los padres no morirán por los hijos, ni los hijos por los padres; cada uno morirá por su pecado.

17 No torcerás el derecho del extranjero ni del huérfano; ni tomarás por prenda la ropa de la viuda;

18 mas acuérdate que fuiste siervo en Egipto, y de allí te rescató el SEÑOR tu Dios; por tanto, yo te mando que hagas esto.

19 Cuando segares tu mies en tu tierra, y olvidares alguna gavilla en el campo, no volverás a tomarla; del extranjero, o del huérfano, o de la viuda será; para que te bendiga el SEÑOR tu Dios en toda obra de tus manos.

20 Cuando sacudieres tus olivas, no recorrerás las ramas tras ti; del extranjero, del huérfano, y de la viuda será.

21 Cuando vendimiares tu viña, no rebuscarás tras ti; del extranjero, del huérfano, y de la viuda será.

22 Y acuérdate que fuiste siervo en tierra de Egipto; por tanto, yo te mando que hagas esto.

5136. 'Out of the land of the Hebrews' means from the Church; that is to say, evil caused celestial things to be alienated from it. This is clear from the meaning of 'the land of the Hebrews' as the Church, 'the land of the Hebrews' being in this case the land of Canaan, for this was the place from which Joseph was taken away. The reason why in the Word 'the land of Canaan' means the Church is that the Church had existed there since most ancient times, first the Most Ancient Church, which came before the Flood; then the Ancient Church, which came after the Flood; after that the second Ancient Church, which is called the Hebrew Church; and at length the Jewish Church. So that the Jewish Church might be established there Abram was commanded to move from Syria to that land, where he received the promise that the land would be given as an inheritance to his descendants. This explains why in the Word 'land' or 'earth' means the Church, and 'the whole land' - an expression found in various places - the universal Church, and why 'a new heaven and a new earth' means a new Church, internal and external.

[2] The reason the Church existed there continuously since most ancient times was that the member of the Most Ancient Church, who was celestial, was the kind of person who saw within every single object in the world and on earth something representative of the Lord's kingdom. Worldly and earthly objects were the means that enabled him to think about heavenly realities. This was where all the representatives and meaningful signs known subsequently in the Ancient Church had their origin, for these had been gathered together by the people meant by 'Enoch', and preserved for the use of others descended from them, 519, 521, 2896. This was how it came about that each specific place, and also each specific mountain or river in the land of Canaan, where the most ancient people lived, came to be representative, as did all the surrounding kingdoms. Now because the Word could not be written unless representatives and meaningful signs were used, including those connected with places, those consecutive dispensations of the Church were to that end kept in existence in the land of Canaan. But after the Lord's Coming the Church was transferred elsewhere because representatives were now done away with. From all this it is evident that the land of Canaan, called the land of the Hebrews here, means the Church.

[3] But see what has been presented already on these matters - in the following places:

The Most Ancient Church, the one before the Flood, existed in the land of Canaan, 567, 3686, 4447, 4454.

Part of the Ancient Church, the Church after the Flood, existed there, 3686, 4447.

The second Ancient Church, called the Hebrew Church, also existed there, 4516, 4517.

Abram was therefore commanded to go there, and the land was given to his descendants, 3686, 4447.

Consequently the land of Canaan represented the Lord's kingdom, 1607, 3038, 3481, 3705, 4240, 4447.

This explains why in the Word 'the land' means the Church, 566, 662, 1066, 1067, 1262, 1413, 1607, 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118 (end), 3355, 4447, 4535.

4191. 'And Jacob said to his brothers' means people who perform works that are inherently good. This is clear from the representation of 'Jacob' as the Lord's Divine Natural, dealt with already, and from the meaning of 'brothers' as goods, dealt with in 3815, 4121, in this case people performing works that are inherently good, who, as shown above in 4189, are the gentiles. For all who are governed by good are joined to the Lord's Divine, and because they are joined to Him they are called 'brothers' by the Lord, as in Mark,

Jesus looking around on those who were sitting around Him said, Behold My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of God is My brother, and My sister, and My mother. Mark 3:31, 34-35.

Every joining together is effected through love and charity, as anyone may recognize, for a joining together spiritually is nothing other than love and charity. Love to the Lord, it is evident, causes one to be joined to Him; and so does charity towards the neighbour, as is clear from the Lord's words in Matthew,

Insofar as you did it to one of the least of these My brothers you did it to Me. Matthew 25:40.

This refers to charitable works.
