Exodus 21

Სწავლა

   

1 Ja need on seadused, mis sa pead panema nende ette:

2 kui sa ostad sulaseks heebrealase, siis ta teenigu kuus aastat, aga seitsmendal saagu ta vabaks lunamaksuta.

3 Kui ta tuli üksinda, mingu ta ka üksinda; kui ta oli naisemees, mingu naine koos temaga.

4 Kui ta isand andis temale naise ja see sünnitas temale poegi või tütreid, siis naine ja lapsed jäävad isandale, aga tema mingu üksinda.

5 Aga kui sulane ütleb kindla meelega: Ma armastan oma isandat, naist ja lapsi, ma ei taha vabaks saada,

6 siis tema isand viigu ta Jumala ette ja seadku ukse või piitjala juurde: ta isand torgaku tal kõrv naaskliga läbi ja ta teenigu igavesti.

7 Kui keegi müüb oma tütre teenijaks, siis see ei tohi sulaste taoliselt ära minna.

8 Kui ta ei meeldi oma isandale, kes tema on määranud enesele, siis lasku see teda lunastada; aga tal ei ole luba teda müüa võõrale rahvale, kui ta tema hülgab.

9 Aga kui ta määrab tema oma pojale, siis ta peab temale andma tütre õigused.

10 Kui ta võtab enesele veel teise naise, siis ei tohi esimesele vähendada toitu, katet ja abieluõigust.

11 Aga kui ta tema suhtes ei täida neid kolme tingimust, siis ta võib maksuta ära minna, ilma lunarahata.

12 Kes teist inimest lööb, nõnda et see sureb, seda tuleb karistada surmaga!

13 Aga kui ta teda ei ole varitsenud, vaid Jumal on lasknud ta tema kätte sattuda, siis ma määran sulle ühe paiga, kuhu ta võib põgeneda.

14 Aga kui keegi on riivatu oma ligimese vastu, tappes tema kavalusega, siis sa pead tema võtma surmamiseks isegi mu altari eest!

15 Kes lööb oma isa või ema, seda karistatagu surmaga!

16 Kes röövib inimese, kas ta selle müüb või see leitakse tema käest, seda karistatagu surmaga!

17 Kes neab oma isa või ema, seda karistatagu surmaga!

18 Kui mehed riidlevad ja üks lööb teist kivi või tööriistaga, nõnda et teine ei sure, vaid lamab asemel,

19 siis on lööja süüta, kui teine tõuseb üles ja saab õues kepi najal käia; ometi peab ta temale tasuma viidetud aja eest ja hoolitsema, et ta saaks terveks.

20 Kui keegi lööb kepiga oma sulast või teenijat, nõnda et ta tema käe all sureb, siis tuleb teda karistada.

21 Aga kui too jääb veel päevaks või paariks elama, siis ei tule teda karistada, sest too oli ju ostetud tema raha eest.

22 Kui mehed taplevad ja tõukavad lapseootel naist, nõnda et see enneaegselt sünnitab, muud kahju aga ei teki, siis tuleb süüdlast rahaga karistada; nõnda nagu naise mees temalt nõuab, nõnda andku ta seda nurisünnituse pärast.

23 Aga kui tekib kahju, siis tuleb anda hing hinge vastu,

24 silm silma vastu, hammas hamba vastu, käsi käe vastu, jalg jala vastu,

25 põletus põletuse vastu, haav haava vastu, vorp vorbi vastu.

26 Kui keegi lööb oma sulase või teenija silma ja rikub selle, siis ta peab tema silma pärast vabaks laskma.

27 Ja kui ta lööb oma sulasel või teenijal hamba välja, siis ta peab tema hamba pärast vabaks laskma.

28 Kui härg kaevleb surnuks mehe või naise, siis tuleb härg kividega surnuks visata ja tema liha ei tohi süüa, härja omanik aga on süüta.

29 Aga kui seesama härg oli varem kaevleja ja selle omanikku hoiatati juba ammu, ent tema ei takista seda ja härg tapab mehe või naise, siis visatagu härg kividega surnuks ja surmatagu ka ta omanik!

30 Kui temale aga määratakse lunastushind, siis ta peab andma niipalju hinge lunaraha, kui temale määratakse.

31 Kui see härg kaevleb poega või tütart, siis tuleb temaga talitada sellesama seaduse järgi.

32 Kui härg kaevleb sulast või teenijat, siis tuleb nende isandale anda kolmkümmend hõbeseeklit, härg aga visatagu kividega surnuks!

33 Kui keegi jätab kaevu lahti või kaevab kaevu, aga ei kata seda, mille tõttu langeb sinna härg või eesel,

34 siis peab kaevu omanik andma hüvituse; ta tasugu looma omanikule rahas, aga korjus jäägu temale.

35 Kui kellegi härg kaevleb surnuks teise mehe härja, siis tuleb elus härg müüa ja raha pooleks jagada; ka surnud härg tuleb poolitada.

36 Aga kui on teada, et see härg oli juba varem kaevleja ja selle omanik ei ole seda takistanud, siis ta peab selle täiesti asendama: härg härja vastu; aga korjus jäägu temale.

9057. 'Blow for blow' means if anything of affection in the understanding is wiped out or injured. This is clear from the meaning of 'blow' as the wiping out or injuring of affection in the understanding, that is, of affection for truth. 'Blow' is expressed in the original language by a word that means a bruise resulting from a gathering of blood or corrupted blood; and 'blood' in the internal sense is the truth of faith derived from the good of love and in the contrary sense truth that has been falsified and rendered profane, 4735, 6978, 7317, 7326. 'A blow' therefore is truth that has been injured or wiped out. 'Blows' or 'plagues' 1 have the same meaning in Revelation 9:20; 11:6; 13:12; 15:1, 6, 8; 16:21; 18:8; also in Jeremiah 30:12, 14, 17; Ezekiel 7:2; Zechariah 14:12-15; Psalms 38:5; and in Luke 10:30-35, where it speaks about the one who fell among thieves, who inflicted blows on him, and left him half dead, and about a Samaritan who bandaged his blows, poured in oil and wine, lifted him onto his own animal, and brought him to an inn.

[2] A person with an understanding of the internal sense of the Word can know why the Lord said that a Samaritan bandaged the victim's blows, poured in oil and wine, and set him on his own animal. In the internal sense 'a Samaritan' means someone with an affection for truth; 'bandaging blows' means healing that affection when it has been injured; 'pouring in oil and wine' means introducing the good of love and the good of faith; and 'lifting onto his animal' means supporting with his own power of understanding. Thus those words were used to describe charity towards the neighbour, in a natural way for the benefit of people in the world and in a spiritual way for the benefit of angels in heaven - in a natural way in the sense of the letter, and in a spiritual way in the internal sense. The reason why 'a Samaritan' is someone with an affection for truth is that in the Word 'Samaria' means that affection. For the meaning of 'oil' as the good of love, see 886, 3728, 4582; of 'wine' as the good of faith, 1798, 6377; of 'an animal' as the power of understanding, 2761, 2762, 2781, 3217, 5321, 5741, 6125, 6401, 6534, 7024, 8146, 8148. The Lord spoke in this manner, but few understand it; for they think that such details were mentioned by Him merely in order to make up some story that was a parable. But in that case they would not be words from God. Words from God all hold within themselves such things as tell of the Lord, of heaven, and of the Church, in every tiny detail, see above in 9049 (end).

Arcana Coelestia # 8146

8146. 'And he harnessed his chariot' means doctrine championing falsity that belongs to separated faith in general. This is clear from the meaning of 'chariot' as doctrine, dealt with in 2760, 5321, 5945, in this case doctrine championing falsity that belongs to separated faith, since the chariot is Pharaoh's and 'Pharaoh' represents the falsities that belong to separated faith. For those who subscribe to faith separated from charity and at the same time lead a life of evil are inevitably steeped in falsities, 8094.

[2] The descriptions that follow on from here refer to the gathering together of all the falsities arising from evil that existed with people who subscribed to faith separated from charity and led a life of evil. Descriptions prior to this have dealt with the vastation of the truths of faith that exist with those people, and with the eventual reduction of those people to a condition which is such that they are steeped in utter falsities arising from evil, and so are lost in damnation. The present chapter now deals with their being cast down into hell, for being cast down into hell follows damnation. What happens in this state - a state in which people are cast down into hell - is as follows: When they are going to be cast down all the falsities that exist with them are first gathered together (which is accomplished by the opening up of all the hells with which they have had contact) and then are poured into them. As a result those people have around them dense masses of falsities arising from evil, which appear as waters to those looking on from outside, 8137, 8138; they are vapours emanating from their life. When they are engulfed by those dense masses they are in hell. When the falsities arising from evil are gathered into one and poured into them the purpose is that those people may become surrounded by the kinds of things that have come to be part of their life, and after that may be confined within them. The type of evil, together with the falsity arising from it, then mark them and their hell off from other hells.

[3] Because of the subject here - the gathering together of all the falsities arising from evil that existed with those people - references are made so many times in this chapter to Pharaoh's chariot, his horses, horsemen, army, and people; for these mean all the powers of falsity that reside with those people. Such references are,

He harnessed his chariot, and took his people with him. Verse 6.

He took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt. Verse 7.

And the Egyptians pursued them, all Pharaoh's chariot-horses, and his horsemen, and his army. Verse 9.

I will be glorified in Pharaoh, and in all his army, in his chariots, and in his horsemen. Verse 17, and similarly verse 18.

And the Egyptians pursued, and came after them, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. Verse 23.

Jehovah took off the wheels of their chariots. Verse 25.

Let the waters return onto the Egyptians, onto their chariots, and onto their horsemen. Verse 26.

The waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even all Pharaoh's army. Verse 28.

These references to them occur so many times because falsities arising from evil - their being gathered together and poured into those people - are the subject. The things referred to so many times mean all the powers of falsity arising from evil. 'Pharaoh' and 'the Egyptians' are the people themselves who are steeped in falsities arising from evil; 'the chariots' are doctrinal teachings that uphold falsity; 'the horses' are false factual knowledge belonging to a perverted understanding; 'the horsemen' are reasonings resting on that knowledge; and 'the army' and 'the people' are the falsities themselves.
