Esodo 21

1 OR queste sono le leggi giudiciali, le quali tu proporrai loro:

2 Quando tu avrai comperato un servo Ebreo, servati egli sei anni; ma al settimo anno vadasene franco, senza pagar nulla.

3 Se egli è venuto sol col suo corpo, vadasene col suo corpo; se egli avea moglie, vadasene la sua moglie con lui.

4 Se il suo signore gli ha data moglie, la quale gli abbia partoriti figliuoli o figliuole; quella moglie, e i figliuoli di essa, sieno del signore; e vadasene egli col suo corpo.

5 Ma se pure il servo dice: Io amo il mio signore, la mia moglie, e i miei figliuoli; io non me ne voglio andar franco;

6 faccialo il suo signore comparire davanti a’ giudici; poi faccialo appressare all’uscio, o allo stipite della porta, e forigli l’orecchio con una lesina; e servagli colui in perpetuo.

7 E quando alcuno avrà venduta la sua figliuola per serva, non esca ella di casa, come i servi ne escono.

8 Se ella dispiace al suo signore, a cui il padre l’avrà sposata, facciala quello franca; non abbia podestà di venderla a un popolo straniero, dopo averle rotta la fede.

9 E se egli la fa sposare al suo figliuolo, facciale secondo la ragion delle fanciulle.

10 Se egli gliene prende un’altra, non tolgale il nutrimento, nè il vestire, nè la coabitazione.

11 E se egli non le fa queste tre cose, vadasene ella gratuitamente, senza pagar danari alcuni.

12 Chi avrà percosso un uomo, sì che egli ne muoia, del tutto sia fatto morire.

13 Ma, quant’è a colui che non l’avrà appostato, anzi Iddio glielo avrà fatto scontrar nelle mani, io ti costituirò un luogo, al quale colui rifugga.

14 Ma, quando alcuno per temerità avrà macchinato contro al suo prossimo, per ucciderlo con inganno, trallo fuori, eziandio d’appresso al mio altare, perchè muoia.

15 Chi avrà battuto suo padre, o sua madre, del tutto sia fatto morire.

16 Parimente, chi avrà rubata una persona, o sia che l’abbia venduta, o che gli sia trovata in mano, del tutto sia fatto morire.

17 Ed anche, chi avrà maledetto suo padre, o sua madre, del tutto sia fatto morire.

18 E quando alcuni contenderanno insieme, e l’uno avrà percosso l’altro con pietra, o col pugno, onde egli non muoia, ma giaccia in letto;

19 se egli si rileva, e cammina fuori in sul suo bastone, colui che l’avrà percosso sia assolto; sol gli paghi ciò ch’egli è stato a bada, e lo faccia medicare fino a compiuta guarigione.

20 E quando alcuno avrà percosso il suo servo, o la sua serva, con un bastone, sì che gli muoia sotto la mano, facciasene del tutto punizione.

21 Ma se pur campa un giorno, o due, non facciasene punizione; perciocchè è suo danaro.

22 E quando alcuni, contendendo insieme, avranno percossa una donna gravida, sì che il parto n’esca fuori, ma pur non vi sarà caso di morte; sia colui che l’avrà percossa condannato ad ammenda, secondo che il marito della donna gl’imporrà; e paghila per autorità de’ giudici.

23 Ma, se vi è caso di morte, metti vita per vita;

24 occhio per occhio, dente per dente, mano per mano, piè per piè;

25 arsura per arsura, ferita per ferita, lividore per lividore.

26 E quando alcuno avrà percosso l’occhio del suo servo, o l’occhio della sua serva, e l’avrà guasto; lascilo andar franco per lo suo occhio.

27 Parimente, se ha fatto cadere un dente al suo servo o alla sua serva, lascilo andar franco per lo suo dente.

28 E quando un bue avrà cozzato un uomo o una donna, sì che ne muoia, del tutto sia quel bue lapidato, e non mangisene la carne; e il padrone del bue sia assolto.

29 Ma se il bue per addietro è stato uso di cozzare, e ciò è stato protestato al padron di esso, ed egli non l’ha guardato, e il bue ha ucciso un uomo o una donna, sia il bue lapidato, e anche facciasi morire il padron di esso.

30 Se gli è imposto alcun prezzo di riscatto, paghi il riscatto della sua vita, interamente come gli sarà imposto.

31 Se il bue cozza un figliuolo o una figliuola, facciaglisi secondo questa legge.

32 Se il bue cozza un servo o una serva, paghi il padron del bue trenta sicli di argento al padrone di esso, e sia lapidato il bue.

33 E, se alcuno scuopre una fossa; ovvero, avendo cavata una fossa, non la ricuopre, e vi cade dentro bue od asino;

34 ristorine il danno il padron della fossa, pagandone i danari al padron del bue o dell’asino; e il morto sia suo.

35 E se il bue d’alcuno urta il bue del prossimo di esso, dì che muoia, vendano essi il bue vivo, e partiscanne i danari per metà; partiscano eziandio il morto.

36 Ma, se è notorio che quel bue per addietro fosse uso di cozzare, e il padrone di esso non l’ha guardato, restituisca egli del tutto bue per bue; ma il morto sia suo.

   


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

9026. 'And he does not die' means, and it is not wiped out. This is clear from the meaning of 'dying' as ceasing to be such, dealt with in 494, 6587, 6593, and therefore as being wiped out, at this point not being wiped out. Since the internal sense deals here with the agreement of the truths of faith with things stated in the literal sense of the Word, and since things stated in the literal sense of the Word cannot be wiped out, being truths on the lowest level of order, no reference is made here to a man who is struck and as a result dies, only to a man who is struck but does not as a result die. For things stated in the literal sense of the Word can, it is true, be weakened but they cannot be wiped out; and also after they have been weakened they can be separated, and then be restored by the use of explanations. This is what is meant by the regulations regarding a man who, having been struck by a companion, rises up and walks on his staff.

[2] A person who probes into the inner contents of the Word can see that there was some hidden reason - a reason beyond human understanding unless this is enlightened by the light of heaven - why the Lord stipulated that the striker should be guiltless if the one who had been struck rose from his bed and walked outside on his staff; and especially why the Lord stipulated that no vengeance should be taken on someone if he strikes his slave but the slave does not die within a day or two, because he is his silver (in spite of the fact that it is the taking of human being's life, for one who is a slave is still a human being). But the hidden reason why the Lord made these stipulations is not evident except with the aid of the internal sense, in which the Church's truths derived from the Word are the subject. What can happen to these truths is similar, for by a man quarrelling with and striking his companion, and also by a man striking his male or female slave, are meant the kinds of things to which those actions correspond in the spiritual sense, which are being explained here. Among the Israelite nation it was a representative Church that was established, that is, a Church in which the inner realities of heaven and the Church were to be represented by means of outward things. Therefore things were stipulated, indeed commanded, such as would cease to have any validity as laws once the Lord had disclosed and revealed the inner realities of the Church. Since then people have been required to lead an inward life, which is a life of faith and charity, as well as an outward life shaped by inner realities.

Exodus 21

Студија

   

1 "Now these are the ordinances which you shall set before them.

2 "If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years and in the seventh he shall go out free without paying anything.

3 If he comes in by himself, he shall go out by himself. If he is married, then his wife shall go out with him.

4 If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.

5 But if the servant shall plainly say, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children. I will not go out free;'

6 then his master shall bring him to God, and shall bring him to the door or to the doorpost, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him for ever.

7 "If a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she shall not go out as the male servants do.

8 If she doesn't please her master, who has married her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt deceitfully with her.

9 If he marries her to his son, he shall deal with her as a daughter.

10 If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marital rights.

11 If he doesn't do these three things for her, she may go free without paying any money.

12 "One who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death,

13 but not if it is unintentional, but God allows it to happen: then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.

14 If a man schemes and comes presumptuously on his neighbor to kill him, you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.

15 "Anyone who attacks his father or his mother shall be surely put to death.

16 "Anyone who kidnaps someone and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

17 "Anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.

18 "If men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he doesn't die, but is confined to bed;

19 if he rises again and walks around with his staff, then he who struck him shall be cleared: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall provide for his healing until he is thoroughly healed.

20 "If a man strikes his servant or his maid with a rod, and he dies under his hand, he shall surely be punished.

21 Notwithstanding, if he gets up after a day or two, he shall not be punished, for he is his property.

22 "If men fight and hurt a pregnant woman so that she gives birth prematurely, and yet no harm follows, he shall be surely fined as much as the woman's husband demands and the judges allow.

23 But if any harm follows, then you must take life for life,

24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

25 burning for burning, wound for wound, and bruise for bruise.

26 "If a man strikes his servant's eye, or his maid's eye, and destroys it, he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.

27 If he strikes out his male servant's tooth, or his female servant's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.

28 "If a bull gores a man or a woman to death, the bull shall surely be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the bull shall not be held responsible.

29 But if the bull had a habit of goring in the past, and it has been testified to its owner, and he has not kept it in, but it has killed a man or a woman, the bull shall be stoned, and its owner shall also be put to death.

30 If a ransom is laid on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is laid on him.

31 Whether it has gored a son or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.

32 If the bull gores a male servant or a female servant, thirty shekels of silver shall be given to their master, and the ox shall be stoned.

33 "If a man opens a pit, or if a man digs a pit and doesn't cover it, and a bull or a donkey falls into it,

34 the owner of the pit shall make it good. He shall give money to its owner, and the dead animal shall be his.

35 "If one man's bull injures another's, so that it dies, then they shall sell the live bull, and divide its price; and they shall also divide the dead animal.

36 Or if it is known that the bull was in the habit of goring in the past, and its owner has not kept it in, he shall surely pay bull for bull, and the dead animal shall be his own.
