Deuteronomy 23

Étudier

   

1 ου λημψεται ανθρωπος την γυναικα του πατρος αυτου και ουκ αποκαλυψει συγκαλυμμα του πατρος αυτου

2 ουκ εισελευσεται θλαδιας και αποκεκομμενος εις εκκλησιαν κυριου

3 ουκ εισελευσεται εκ πορνης εις εκκλησιαν κυριου

4 ουκ εισελευσεται αμμανιτης και μωαβιτης εις εκκλησιαν κυριου και εως δεκατης γενεας ουκ εισελευσεται εις εκκλησιαν κυριου και εως εις τον αιωνα

5 παρα το μη συναντησαι αυτους υμιν μετα αρτων και υδατος εν τη οδω εκπορευομενων υμων εξ αιγυπτου και οτι εμισθωσαντο επι σε τον βαλααμ υιον βεωρ εκ της μεσοποταμιας καταρασασθαι σε

6 και ουκ ηθελησεν κυριος ο θεος σου εισακουσαι του βαλααμ και μετεστρεψεν κυριος ο θεος σου τας καταρας εις ευλογιαν οτι ηγαπησεν σε κυριος ο θεος σου

7 ου προσαγορευσεις ειρηνικα αυτοις και συμφεροντα αυτοις πασας τας ημερας σου εις τον αιωνα

8 ου βδελυξη ιδουμαιον οτι αδελφος σου εστιν ου βδελυξη αιγυπτιον οτι παροικος εγενου εν τη γη αυτου

9 υιοι εαν γενηθωσιν αυτοις γενεα τριτη εισελευσονται εις εκκλησιαν κυριου

10 εαν δε εξελθης παρεμβαλειν επι τους εχθρους σου και φυλαξη απο παντος ρηματος πονηρου

11 εαν η εν σοι ανθρωπος ος ουκ εσται καθαρος εκ ρυσεως αυτου νυκτος και εξελευσεται εξω της παρεμβολης και ουκ εισελευσεται εις την παρεμβολην

12 και εσται το προς εσπεραν λουσεται το σωμα αυτου υδατι και δεδυκοτος ηλιου εισελευσεται εις την παρεμβολην

13 και τοπος εσται σοι εξω της παρεμβολης και εξελευση εκει εξω

14 και πασσαλος εσται σοι επι της ζωνης σου και εσται οταν διακαθιζανης εξω και ορυξεις εν αυτω και επαγαγων καλυψεις την ασχημοσυνην σου εν αυτω

15 οτι κυριος ο θεος σου εμπεριπατει εν τη παρεμβολη σου εξελεσθαι σε και παραδουναι τον εχθρον σου προ προσωπου σου και εσται η παρεμβολη σου αγια και ουκ οφθησεται εν σοι ασχημοσυνη πραγματος και αποστρεψει απο σου

16 ου παραδωσεις παιδα τω κυριω αυτου ος προστεθειται σοι παρα του κυριου αυτου

17 μετα σου κατοικησει εν υμιν κατοικησει εν παντι τοπω ου εαν αρεση αυτω ου θλιψεις αυτον

18 ουκ εσται πορνη απο θυγατερων ισραηλ και ουκ εσται πορνευων απο υιων ισραηλ ουκ εσται τελεσφορος απο θυγατερων ισραηλ και ουκ εσται τελισκομενος απο υιων ισραηλ

19 ου προσοισεις μισθωμα πορνης ουδε αλλαγμα κυνος εις τον οικον κυριου του θεου σου προς πασαν ευχην οτι βδελυγμα κυριω τω θεω σου εστιν και αμφοτερα

20 ουκ εκτοκιεις τω αδελφω σου τοκον αργυριου και τοκον βρωματων και τοκον παντος πραγματος ου αν εκδανεισης

21 τω αλλοτριω εκτοκιεις τω δε αδελφω σου ουκ εκτοκιεις ινα ευλογηση σε κυριος ο θεος σου εν πασι τοις εργοις σου επι της γης εις ην εισπορευη εκει κληρονομησαι αυτην

22 εαν δε ευξη ευχην κυριω τω θεω σου ου χρονιεις αποδουναι αυτην οτι εκζητων εκζητησει κυριος ο θεος σου παρα σου και εσται εν σοι αμαρια

23 εαν δε μη θελης ευξασθαι ουκ εστιν εν σοι αμαρτια

24 τα εκπορευομενα δια των χειλεων σου φυλαξη και ποιησεις ον τροπον ευξω κυριω τω θεω σου δομα ο ελαλησας τω στοματι σου

25 εαν δε εισελθης εις αμητον του πλησιον σου και συλλεξεις εν ταις χερσιν σου σταχυς και δρεπανον ου μη επιβαλης επι τον αμητον του πλησιον σου

26 εαν δε εισελθης εις τον αμπελωνα του πλησιον σου φαγη σταφυλην οσον ψυχην σου εμπλησθηναι εις δε αγγος ουκ εμβαλεις

Arcana Coelestia #9211

Étudier ce passage

  
/ 10837  
  

9211. 'You shall not charge him interest' means that therefore it must not be done for the sake of gain to be acquired from it. This is clear from the meaning of 'charging someone interest' as doing good for the sake of gain, dealt with immediately above in 9210, at this point not doing it for the sake of gain since it says 'you shall not charge him interest'. From this law about increase and interest the situation with the laws the Israelite people had which were called 'judgements' can be seen. That is, it can be seen that they came to an end along with the sacrifices and every other ritual observance, when the Lord came into the world and disclosed the more internal things within acts of worship, and in general the more internal things of the Word. The more internal things within that law are that good done to the neighbour should come from the heart, and that people should believe that there is no merit at all in deeds which spring from self, only in deeds which spring from the Lord present with them. For only the Lord has earned merit, and only He is righteousness; and when a person believes this he does not attach any merit or reward at all to deeds springing from self but ascribes all good deeds to the Lord. And since the Lord in His Divine mercy is the real doer of that good the person ascribes everything to mercy alone. So it is also that one who is led by the Lord has no thought whatever of reward, and yet from the heart does good to the neighbour.

[2] These are the more internal things from which the law among the Israelite and Jewish nation about lending things at interest comes down. When therefore a person is acquainted with those more internal things that law comes to an end along with the others like it which were referred to as judgements. For the Israelite and Jewish nation was confined to the outward forms that represented internal things. Consequently that law was binding on that nation then, but it is not binding on Christians, to whom the more internal things have been revealed by the Lord. Those who belong to the Church at the present day see this to be so, and this is why laws that have to do with charging interest are altogether different at the present day. Even so, the holiness of that law does not therefore come to an end, as though this part of the Word has been abrogated; for its holiness remains by virtue of the more internal things it holds within it. These more internal holy things continue to stir angels' affections when this part of the Word is read. But let people beware of thinking that the laws of life such as are contained in the Ten Commandments and elsewhere throughout the Old Testament have been abrogated; for those laws have been firmly established in an inward as well as an outward form, because the two are inseparable.
