2 Mózes 22

Étudier

   

1 Ha valaki ökröt vagy bárányt lop, és levágja vagy eladja azt: öt barmot fizessen egy ökörért, és négy juhot egy bárányért.

2 Ha ház-fölverésen kapják a tolvajt, és [úgy] megverik, hogy meghal, nincs vérbûn miatta.

3 Ha reá sütött a nap, vérbûn van miatta: fizessen; ha nincs néki: adassék el tolvajságáért.

4 Ha elevenen kapják kezében a lopott jószágot, akár ökör, akár szamár, akár juh: két annyit fizessen érette.

5 Ha valaki mezõt vagy szõlõt étet le, úgy hogy barmát elereszti, és az a más mezején legel: mezejének javából és szõlõjének javából fizesse meg a kárt.

6 Ha tûz támad, és tövisbe kap, és megég az asztag, vagy a lábon álló gabona, vagy a mezõ: fizesse meg a kárt, a ki a tüzet gyujtotta.

7 Ha valaki pénzt vagy edényeket ád felebarátjának megõrzés végett, és ellopják annak a férfiúnak házából: ha megtalálják a tolvajt, fizessen kétannyit.

8 Ha nem találják meg a tolvajt, a ház urát vigyék a bírák eleibe: hogy nem nyújtotta-é ki kezét az õ felebarátja vagyonára.

9 Akármi bûn dolgában, akár ökör, akár szamár, akár juh, akár ruha, akármi elveszett jószág az, a mirõl azt mondja: ez az; mindkettõjük ügye a bírák eleibe menjen, és a kit a bírák bûnösnek mondanak, fizessen két annyit az õ felebarátjának.

10 Ha valaki szamarat, vagy ökröt, vagy bárányt, vagy akármiféle barmot ád az õ felebarátja gondviselése alá, és az elhull, vagy megsérül, vagy elhajtatik, úgy hogy senki sem látta:

11 Az Úrra való esküvés legyen kettejök közt, hogy nem nyújtotta-é ki kezét felebarátja vagyonára; és ezt fogadja el annak ura, és az semmit se fizessen.

12 Ha pedig ellopták tõle: megfizesse az urának.

13 Ha széttépetett, hozza el azt bizonyságul; a széttépettet nem fizeti meg.

14 Ha pedig valaki kölcsön kér az õ felebarátjától, és az megsérül vagy elhull urának távollétében: fizesse meg a kárt.

15 Ha ura vele van, nem fizet; ha bérbe adatott, bérébe megy.

16 Ha valaki hajadont csábít el, a ki nincs eljegyezve, és vele hál: jegyajándékkal jegyezze azt el magának feleségül.

17 Ha annak atyja nem akarja azt néki adni: annyi pénzt adjon, a mennyi a hajadonok jegyajándéka.

18 Varázsló asszonyt ne hagyj életben.

19 A ki barommal közösül, halállal lakoljon.

20 A ki isteneknek áldozik, nem csupán az Úrnak, megölettessék.

21 A jövevényen ne hatalmaskodjál, és ne nyomorgasd azt, mert jövevények voltatok Égyiptom földén.

22 Egy özvegyet vagy árvát se nyomorítsatok meg.

23 Ha nyomorgatod azt, és hozzám kiált, meghallgatom az õ kiáltását.

24 És felgerjed haragom, és megöllek titeket fegyverrel, és a ti feleségeitek özvegyekké lésznek, a ti fiaitok pedig árvákká.

25 Ha pénzt adsz kölcsön az én népemnek, a szegénynek a ki veled van; ne légy hozzá olyan, mint a hitelezõ; ne vessetek reá uzsorát.

26 Ha zálogba veszed a te felebarátod felsõ ruháját: naplemente elõtt visszaadd azt néki:

27 Mert egyetlen takarója, testének ruhája az: miben háljon? Bizony, ha én hozzám kiált, meghallgatom; mert én irgalmas vagyok.

28 A bírákat ne szidalmazd, és néped fejedelmét ne átkozd.

29 Gabonáddal és boroddal ne késlekedjél; fiaid elsõszülöttét nékem add.

30 Hasonlóképen cselekedjél ökröddel, juhoddal; hét napig legyen az õ anyjával, a nyolczadik napon nékem add azt.

31 És szent emberek legyetek én elõttem; a mezõn széttépett húst meg ne egyétek; az ebnek vessétek azt.

9155. '[To see] whether or not he has put his hand into his companion's property' means whether it has entered into that good. This is clear from the meaning of 'whether or not he has put his hand' as whether good has made them subject to its own control and power; and from the meaning of 'into his companion's property' as truth and factual knowledge that have been taken away, for the silver and vessels, which have been delivered to someone for safe keeping but have been taken away, are what 'companion's property' refers to. For the meaning of 'silver and vessels' as truths and factual knowledge, see above in 9149. From this it is evident that 'whether or not the master of the house has put his hand into his companion's property' means whether good has made truths and factual knowledge subject to its own control and power - the truths and factual knowledge that have been taken away - thus whether these had previously entered into good, according to what has been shown immediately above in 9154. For the meaning of 'hand' as power, see 878, 3387, 4931-4937, 5296, 6292, 7188, 7189, 7518, 7673, 8153, and for 'in the hand' as that which resides with and within someone, 9133.

Arcana Coelestia #9154

Étudier ce passage

9154. 'The master of the house shall be brought to God' means enquiring of good. This is clear from the meaning of 'being brought to God' as being brought forward for enquiry to be made, dealt with below in 9160; and from the meaning of 'the master of the house' as good which is enquired of. The reason why 'the master of the house' means good is that the subject is truths and factual knowledge that have been taken away from the memory, meant by 'the silver and the vessels which were delivered to someone for safe keeping but were taken away by theft', 9149, 9150. Since those truths and factual knowledge belong to good and exist in good 'the master of the house', to whom the objects belong and with whom they reside, means good. Good is called 'the master' because truths and factual knowledge belong to good as their master, and good is also called 'the house' because truths and factual knowledge exist within good as their house. For the meaning of 'the house' as good, and the fact that truths reside in that house, see 3652, where the Lord's words in Matthew are explained,

Let him who is on the roof of the house not go down to take anything out of the house. Matthew 24:17.

[2] The implications of this - that good should be enquired of regarding truths and factual knowledge that have been taken away from the memory - are that the good present with a person is that which receives all truths into itself. For good receives its specific quality from truths; and in the measure that truths have good within them and also around them they have life. This is like a fibre or like a vessel in a living creature. In the measure that the fibre has spirit 1 in it and in the measure that the vessel has blood in it they have life; and a blood vessel likewise has life in the measure that it has around itself fibres with spirit in them. A similar situation exists with truth and good. Truth without good is like a fibre without spirit, and like a vein or an artery without blood, the nature of which anyone can see, namely something devoid of life and so devoid of any use within a living creature. The situation is similar when faith is devoid of charity. Since good receives its specific quality from truths, as has been stated, good also receives its form from them; for where there is form, specific quality is present, and where there is no form no specific quality is present. Again it is like the situation with spirit and blood in a living creature. Spirit is circumscribed by its fibres and so receives form through them, while blood receives form through its vessels. From all this it is evident that truth without good has no life in it, and that good without truth possesses no specific quality, consequently that faith without charity is not faith that is alive. By faith here faith composed of truth is meant, and by charity life consisting of good.

[3] All this shows how to understand the explanation that if truths and factual knowledge have been taken away, enquiry should be made of good. That is to say, it shows that when a person is governed by good, that is, by an affection for doing good, he recollects all the truths that have entered into good, but when he turns away from good the truths disappear, for falsity arising from evil is that which takes them away as if by theft. But truths that have disappeared are recollected once again when a person comes back to an affection for good or for truth through the life he leads. Anyone who stops to reflect can recognize the truth of this from his own experience and from what takes place with others. All this makes plain what is meant by enquiring of good regarding truths and factual knowledge that have been taken away from a person's memory or mind.
