Deuteronomium 15

1 Každého léta sedmého odpouštěti budeš.

2 Tento pak bude způsob odpuštění, aby odpustil každý věřitel, kterýž rukou svou půjčil to, čehož půjčil bližnímu svému; nebude upomínati bližního svého aneb bratra svého, nebo vyhlášeno jest odpuštění Hospodinovo.

3 Cizozemce upomínati budeš, ale to, což bys měl u bratra svého, propustí ruka tvá.

4 Toliko aby nuzným někdo nebyl příčinou tvou, poněvadž hojně požehná tobě Hospodin v zemi, kterouž Hospodin Bůh tvůj dá tobě v dědictví, abys jí dědičně vládl:

5 Jestliže však pilně poslouchati budeš hlasu Hospodina Boha svého, tak abys hleděl činiti každé přikázaní toto, kteréž já tobě dnes přikazuji.

6 Hospodin zajisté Bůh tvůj požehná tobě, jakož mluvil tobě, tak že budeš moci půjčovati národům mnohým, tobě pak nebude potřeba vypůjčovati; i budeš panovati nad národy mnohými, ale oni nad tebou nebudou panovati.

7 Byl-li by u tebe nuzný někdo z bratří tvých, v některém městě tvém, v zemi tvé, kterouž Hospodin Bůh tvůj dá tobě, nezatvrdíš srdce svého, a nezavřeš ruky své před nuzným bratrem svým:

8 Ale štědře otevřeš jemu ruku svou, a ochotně půjčíš jemu, jakž by mnoho potřeboval toho, v čemž by nouzi měl.

9 Vystříhej se, aby nebylo něco nepravého v srdci tvém, a řekl bys: Blíží se rok sedmý, jenž jest rok odpuštění, a bylo by nešlechetné oko tvé k bratru tvému nuznému, tak že bys neudělil jemu, pročež by volal proti tobě k Hospodinu, a byl by na tobě hřích:

10 Ale ochotně dáš jemu, a nebude srdce tvé neupřímé, když bys dával jemu; nebo tou příčinou požehná tobě Hospodin Bůh tvůj ve všech skutcích tvých a ve všem díle, k kterémuž bys vztáhl ruku svou.

11 Nebo nebudete bez chudých v zemi vaší; protož přikazuji tobě, řka: Abys ochotně otvíral ruku svou bratru svému, chudému svému a nuznému svému v zemi své.

12 Jestliže by prodán byl tobě bratr tvůj Žid aneb Židovka, a sloužil by tobě za šest let, sedmého léta propustíš jej od sebe svobodného.

13 A když jej propustíš svobodného od sebe, nepustíš ho prázdného.

14 Štědře darovati jej budeš dary z dobytka svého, z stodoly a z vinice své; v čemž požehnal tobě Hospodin Bůh tvůj, z toho dáš jemu.

15 A pamatuj, že jsi služebníkem byl v zemi Egyptské, a že tě vykoupil Hospodin Bůh tvůj, protož já to dnes tobě přikazuji.

16 Pakliť by řekl: Nepůjdu od tebe, proto že by tě miloval i dům tvůj, a že mu dobře u tebe,

17 Tedy vezma špici, probodneš ucho jeho na dveřích, a bude u tebe služebníkem na věky. Takž podobně i děvce své učiníš.

18 Nechť není za těžké před očima tvýma, když bys ho svobodného propustil od sebe, nebo dvojnásob více, než ze mzdy nájemník, sloužil tobě šest let; i požehná tobě Hospodin ve všech věcech, kteréž činiti budeš.

19 Všeho prvorozeného, což se narodí z skotů tvých neb z bravů tvých, samce posvětíš Hospodinu Bohu svému. Nebudeš dělati prvorozeným volkem svým, a nebudeš holiti prvorozených ovec svých.

20 Před Hospodinem Bohem svým budeš je jísti na každý rok na místě, kteréž by vyvolil Hospodin, ty i čeled tvá.

21 Pakliť by na něm byla vada, že by kulhavé aneb slepé bylo, aneb mělo by jakoukoli škodlivou vadu, nebudeš ho obětovati Hospodinu Bohu svému.

22 V branách svých budeš je jísti, buďto čistý neb nečistý, rovně jako srnu aneb jelena;

23 Toliko krve jeho nebudeš jísti, ale na zem vycedíš ji jako vodu.

Apocalypse Explained #327

327. Saying, Worthy art Thou to open 1 the book and to loose the seals thereof, signifies that the Lord from the Divine Human has omnipotence and omniscience. This is evident from all that precedes; for the subject treated of up to this point is that the Lord from the Divine Human has omnipotence and omniscience, and that judgment, therefore, belongs to Him. That this is meant by "worthy art Thou to open the book and to loose the seals thereof" is clear from the series of the things explained from the beginning of this chapter to the present verse, which I will here present in their order, as follows: "I saw in the right hand of Him that sat upon the throne," signifies the Lord in respect to omnipotence and omniscience n. 297; "a book written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals," signifies the states of the life of all in heaven and on earth altogether hidden (n. 299, 300); "I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a great voice, Who is worthy to open the book and to loose the seals thereof?" signifies exploration whether there is anyone such that he may know and perceive the state of the life of all (n. 302, 303); "no one was able, in heaven nor upon the earth nor under the earth, to open the book," signifies that no one from himself can do this at all n. 304; "behold the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath overcome to open the book and to loose the seven seals thereof," signifies the Lord [as able to do this] because from His own power He subjugated the hells and reduced all things in the heavens to order, and this by Divine good united to Divine truth in His Human (n. 309, 310); "I saw a Lamb standing, having seven horns and seven eyes," signifies the Lord in respect to the Divine Human, that from it He has omnipotence and omniscience (n. 314, 316, 317); "and He came and took the book out of the right hand of Him that sat upon the throne," signifies that these things are from His Divine Human (n. 319). From this it is now clear that here "worthy art Thou to take the book and to loose the seals thereof," signifies that the Lord from the Divine Human has omnipotence and omniscience.

Apocalypse Explained #309

Estudiar este pasaje

  
/ 1232  
  

309. Behold, the Lion hath overcome, signifies that the Lord from His own power subjugated the hells, and reduced all things there and in the heavens to order. This is evident from the signification of "overcoming," when predicated of the Lord, namely, that when He was in the world He subjugated the hells, and reduced all things there and in the heavens to order, and this by temptations admitted into His Human, and then by continual victories (of which see in The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem 293, 294, 301-302). This therefore is signified by "overcoming," when predicated of the Lord; and as the Lord had done these things from His own power, He is called a "Lion;" for "lion" signifies power (See above, n. 278). That the Lord did these things from His own power is known from the Word; but as few are aware of this, I wish to say something respecting it. The Lord did this from the Divine that was in Him from conception; this Divine He had as a man has a soul from his father; and the soul of everyone works by means of the body, for the body is the soul's obedience. The Divine that was in the Lord from conception was His own Divine, which in the Athanasian Creed is said to be equal to the Divine that is there called "the Father;" for it is said that:

As is the Father so also is the Son, infinite, uncreate, eternal, omnipotent, God, Lord, and that neither of them is greatest or least, nor first or last, but altogether equal.

It is also said that:

The Divine and Human of the Lord are not two, but one person, and that as the soul and body make one man, so the Divine and the Human are one Christ.

From this also those who have faith in Athanasius may know that the Lord did these things from His own power, because from His Divine. From this it can clearly be seen what is meant by what the Lord says in John:

The Father that abideth in Me, He doeth the works. Believe Me, that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me (John 14:10-11).

And elsewhere in the same:

Verily I say unto you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, except what He seeth the Father doing; for whatever things He doeth, these also the Son doeth in like manner. As the Father raiseth up the dead and quickeneth them, even so the Son quickeneth whom He will. As the Father hath life in Himself, so also gave He to the Son to have life in Himself (John 5:19, 21, 26).

As the Divine, which the Lord calls "the Father," was His Divine, and not another Divine, it can be seen that whatever He did from the Father, as well as whatever He did from the Human which He calls "the Son," He did from Himself; and thus that He did all things by His own power, since He did them from what was His.
