Deuteronomija 21

공부

   

1 “Jei žemėje, kurią Viešpats, tavo Dievas, tau duoda, būtų rastas užmušto žmogaus lavonas, bet nesurastas kaltininkas,

2 vyresnieji ir teisėjai išmatuos atstumus nuo užmuštojo ligi aplinkinių miestų.

3 Artimiausio miesto vyresnieji pasiims iš kaimenės telyčią, nekinkytą į jungą,

4 nuves ją į apleistą slėnį, kuris nebuvo suartas nė apsėtas, ir čia perpjaus jai gerklę.

5 Po to ateis Levio sūnūs, kunigai, kuriuos Viešpats, tavo Dievas, išsirinko Jam tarnauti ir Jo vardu laiminti, kurių žodžiu yra išsprendžiamas kiekvienas ginčas,

6 ir miesto, nuo kurio arčiausia iki nužudytojo, vyresnieji plaus savo rankas virš telyčios, papjautos slėnyje,

7 ir sakys: ‘Mūsų rankos nepraliejo šito kraujo ir mūsų akys nematė.

8 Viešpatie, pasigailėk savo tautos, Izraelio, kurią atpirkai, ir neįskaityk jai nekalto kraujo’. Ir jie bus apvalyti nuo kraujo.

9 Taip pašalinsi nekaltai pralietą kraują tarp savųjų darydamas, kas teisu Viešpaties akyse.

10 Kai kovosi su priešu, ir Viešpats, tavo Dievas, atiduos juos į tavo rankas, ir tu paimsi juos į nelaisvę,

11 jei tarp belaisvių pamatysi gražią moterį, kurią panorėsi vesti,

12 parsivesk ją į savo namus. Ji nusiskus plaukus, nusipjaustys nagus,

13 nusivilks belaisvės drabužius ir gyvens tavo namuose, apraudodama savo tėvą ir motiną visą mėnesį. Po to gali įeiti pas ją ir būti jos vyras, o ji bus tavo žmona.

14 Jei ji tau nebepatiks, atleisi ją, bet negalėsi jos parduoti arba paversti verge, nes ją pažeminai.

15 Jei vyras turėtų dvi žmonas, vieną mylimą, o antrą­nemylimą, ir, joms pagimdžius vaikų, nemylimosios sūnus būtų pirmagimis,

16 norėdamas padalinti savo sūnums palikimą, jis negalės mylimosios sūnaus padaryti pirmagimio ir duoti jam pirmenybę nemylimosios sūnaus vietoje.

17 Jis pripažins nemylimosios sūnų pirmagimiu ir jam duos dvigubą dalį, nes tas yra jo pajėgumo pradžia ir jam priklauso pirmagimio teisė.

18 Jei sūnus būtų tėvams nepaklusnus, priešgina ir užsispyręs, jei jis nekreiptų dėmesio į pabaudimą,

19 tėvai nuves jį pas miesto vyresniuosius prie miesto vartų

20 ir sakys miesto vyresniesiems: ‘Šitas mūsų sūnus yra neklusnus, priešgina ir užsispyręs, lėbauja ir girtauja’.

21 Miesto gyventojai užmuš jį akmenimis. Taip bus pašalinta pikta iš jūsų, kad visas Izraelis, tai girdėdamas, bijotų.

22 Jei žmogus padarys nuodėmę, vertą mirties, ir tu nužudysi jį pakardamas,

23 jo kūno nepalik ant medžio per naktį, palaidok jį tą pačią dieną. Dievo prakeiktas tas, kuris kabo ant medžio. Nesutepk savo žemės, kurią Viešpats, tavo Dievas, tau duoda paveldėti”.

899. And twelve gates. This symbolizes all the concepts of truth and goodness by which a person is introduced into the church.

Gates symbolize concepts of truth and goodness from the Word, because a person is introduced into the church by them. For the wall that had the gates symbolizes the Word, as explained just above in no. 898. Moreover we are later told that "the twelve gates were twelve pearls: each gate was of one pearl" (verse 21), and pearls symbolize concepts of truth and goodness (no. 727). Clearly it is by these concepts that people are introduced into the church, as through gates into a city.

That the number twelve symbolizes all people may be seen in no. 348 above.

Gates symbolize concepts of truth and goodness also in the following places:

I will... lay your foundations in sapphires; I will make your pinnacles of garnets, and your gates carbuncle-stones. 1 (Isaiah 54:11-12)

Jehovah loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God! (Psalms 87:2-3)

Enter through His gates with confession... Confess Him, bless His name. (Psalms 100:4)

Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem! Jerusalem is built as a city that holds fast together. (Psalms 122:2-3)

Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem! ...For He has strengthened the bars of your gates; He has blessed your children in your midst. (Psalms 147:12-13)

...that I may recount all Your praises in the gates of the daughter of Zion. (Psalms 9:14)

Open the gates, that a righteous nation which keeps its fealties may enter in. (Isaiah 26:2)

...raise your voice... that they may enter the gate of the princes. (Isaiah 13:2)

Blessed are those who do His commandments... and enter through the gates into the city. (Revelation 22:14)

Lift up your heads, O you gates... that the King of glory may come in. (Psalms 24:7, 9)

The roads to Zion mourn... All her gates are desolate; her priests groan... (Lamentations 1:4)

Judah mourned, and her gates have been made to languish. (Jeremiah 14:2)

Jehovah has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion... Her gates have sunk into the ground. (Lamentations 2:8-9)

...who make a man to sin against the Word, and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate... (Isaiah 29:21)

They chose new gods; then he began to attack the gates. (Judges 5:8)

And so on elsewhere, as in Isaiah 3:25-26; 14:31; 22:7; 24:12; 28:6; 62:10; Jeremiah 1:15; 15:7; 31:38, 40; Micah 2:13; Nahum 3:13; Judges 5:11.

Since gates symbolize introductory truths, which are concepts from the Word, therefore the elders of the city used to sit as judges at the gates, as is apparent from Deuteronomy 21:18-21; 22:15; Lamentations 5:14; Amos 5:12, 15; Zechariah 8:16.

각주:

1. A name variously applied in former times to precious stones of a red or fiery color.

Apocalypse Revealed #727

727. And pearls. This symbolizes the concepts of goodness and truth contained in the Word among Roman Catholics.

In the spiritual sense pearls symbolize concepts of both celestial and spiritual goodness and truth that come from the Word, in particular from its literal meaning; and because pearls symbolize those concepts, therefore they are mentioned after purple and scarlet and after gold and precious stones.

These concepts are symbolized by pearls also in the following passages:

...the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it. (Matthew 13:45-46)

The pearl here symbolizes a concept of the Lord.

The twelve gates (in the wall of the New Jerusalem) were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. (Revelation 21:21)

The gates of the New Jerusalem symbolize entrance into the New Church, and the entrance is made possible by concepts of goodness and truth from the Word.

Do not... cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and... tear you in pieces. (Matthew 7:6)

Swine symbolize people who care only for worldly wealth, and not for spiritual wealth, namely for concepts of goodness and truth from the Word.

Because Babylon symbolizes a religion that has cast out all concepts of goodness and truth from the Word, we are told concerning it:

The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over (Babylon), because no one buys their merchandise...: merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones, and pearls... (Revelation 18:11-12)
