1 "Nämä ovat ne oikeudet, jotka sinun tulee asettaa heidän eteensä:

2 Jos sinä ostat hebrealaisen orjan, niin hän palvelkoon kuusi vuotta, mutta seitsemäntenä hän pääsköön vapaaksi maksutta.

3 Jos hän on tullut yksinäisenä, niin yksinäisenä lähteköönkin; mutta jos hän oli nainut, niin lähteköön vaimo hänen kanssaan.

4 Jos hänen isäntänsä on antanut hänelle vaimon, ja tämä on synnyttänyt hänelle poikia tai tyttäriä, niin vaimo lapsinensa jääköön isännän omaksi, ja hän lähteköön yksinään.

5 Mutta jos orja vakuuttaa: 'Minä rakastan isäntääni, vaimoani ja lapsiani enkä tahdo päästä vapaaksi',

6 niin hänen isäntänsä vieköön hänet Jumalan eteen ja asettakoon hänet ovea tai pihtipieltä vasten, ja hänen isäntänsä lävistäköön hänen korvansa naskalilla, ja hän olkoon hänen orjansa ainiaan.

7 Jos joku myy tyttärensä orjaksi, älköön tämä pääskö vapaaksi, niinkuin miesorjat pääsevät.

8 Jos hän ei miellytä isäntäänsä, sitten kuin tämä jo on määrännyt hänet itsellensä, niin tämä sallikoon lunastaa hänet pois. Vieraaseen kansaan älköön hänellä olko valtaa häntä myydä, kun hän hänet hylkää.

9 Mutta jos hän määrää hänet pojallensa, niin antakoon hänen nauttia tyttärien oikeutta.

10 Jos hän ottaa itselleen toisen vaimon, niin älköön vähentäkö ensimmäiseltä tämän ravintoa, vaatetusta ja aviollista oikeutta.

11 Jos hän ei tee hänelle näitä kolmea, niin lähteköön vaimo pois maksutta ja rahakorvauksetta.

12 Joka lyö ihmistä, niin että tämä kuolee, se rangaistakoon kuolemalla.

13 Mutta jos hän ei ole tehnyt sitä murha-aikeessa, vaan Jumala on sallinut sen vahingon tapahtua hänen kätensä kautta, niin minä määrään sinulle paikan, johon hän voi paeta.

14 Mutta jos joku menettelee niin rikollisesti lähimmäistänsä kohtaan, että tappaa hänet kavalasti, on sinun otettava hänet minun alttarinikin luota surmattavaksi.

15 Joka lyö isäänsä tai äitiänsä, se rangaistakoon kuolemalla.

16 Joka varastaa ihmisen ja joko myy hänet tahi pitää häntä hallussansa, se rangaistakoon kuolemalla.

17 Joka kiroaa isäänsä tai äitiänsä, se rangaistakoon kuolemalla.

18 Jos miehet riitelevät keskenänsä ja toinen lyö toista kivellä tai nyrkillä, mutta tämä ei kuole, vaan joutuu vuoteen omaksi,

19 niin olkoon, jos hän tointuu ja voi mennä ulos sauvaansa nojaten, lyöjä vapaa rangaistuksesta; korvatkoon ainoastaan hänen sairastamisaikansa ja pitäköön huolta hänen paranemisestaan.

20 Jos joku lyö orjaansa tai orjatartaan sauvalla, niin että tämä kuolee hänen käsiinsä, niin häntä rangaistakoon.

21 Mutta jos se elää päivän tai kaksi, niin älköön lyöjää rangaistako, sillä se on hänen omaa rahaansa.

22 Jos miehet tappelevat keskenänsä ja loukkaavat raskasta vaimoa, niin että hän synnyttää kesken, mutta vahinkoa ei tapahdu, niin sakotettakoon syyllistä vaimon miehen vaatimuksen ja riidanratkaisijain harkinnan mukaan.

23 Mutta jos vahinko tapahtuu, niin annettakoon henki hengestä,

24 silmä silmästä, hammas hampaasta, käsi kädestä, jalka jalasta,

25 palovamma palovammasta, haava haavasta, mustelma mustelmasta.

26 Jos joku lyö orjaansa tai orjatartansa silmään ja turmelee sen, niin päästäköön hänet vapaaksi silmän tähden.

27 Ja jos hän lyö orjaltaan tai orjattareltaan hampaan suusta, niin päästäköön hänet vapaaksi hampaan tähden.

28 Jos härkä puskee miehen tai naisen kuoliaaksi, niin härkä kivitettäköön, älköönkä sen lihaa syötäkö; mutta härän omistaja olkoon vapaa rangaistuksesta.

29 Mutta jos härkä on ennenkin puskenut ja sen isäntää on varoitettu eikä hän ole sitä vartioinut, ja jos se tappaa miehen tai naisen, niin härkä kivitettäköön, ja myös sen isäntä rangaistakoon kuolemalla.

30 Mutta jos hänelle määrätään lunastusmaksu, niin maksakoon henkensä lunnaiksi niin paljon, kuin hänelle määrätään.

31 Jos se puskee pojan tai tytön, niin meneteltäköön saman lain mukaan.

32 Jos härkä puskee orjan tai orjattaren, niin maksakoon sen omistaja pusketun isännälle kolmekymmentä hopeasekeliä, ja härkä kivitettäköön.

33 Jos joku jättää kaivon auki tahi kaivaa kaivon eikä peitä sitä, ja härkä tai aasi putoaa siihen,

34 niin kaivon omistaja korvatkoon isännälle sen rahassa; mutta kuollut eläin olkoon hänen.

35 Jos jonkun härkä puskee toisen härän kuoliaaksi, niin myykööt elävän härän ja jakakoot sen hinnan, ja myös kuolleen jakakoot keskenään.

36 Jos taas oli tunnettua, että se härkä ennenkin oli puskenut eikä sen isäntä ollut sitä vartioinut, niin antakoon härän härästä, mutta kuollut olkoon hänen."

8974. 'When you buy a Hebrew slave' means those within the Church who are imbued with the truths of religious teachings and not with the good that accords with those truths. This is clear from the meaning of 'buying' as acquiring to oneself and making one's own, dealt with in 4397, 5374, 5397, 5406, 5410, 5426, 7999; and from the meaning of 'a Hebrew slave' as those within the Church who are imbued with the truths of religious teachings and not with the goodness of life that accords with those truths. For 'a slave' or 'a servant' has reference to those who are imbued with truth and not with complementary good, and in general to truth in relation to good, 3409. And 'Hebrew' has reference to things connected with the Church and to those connected with some servitude; for its reference to things connected with the Church, see 5136, 5236, 6675, 6684, and for its reference to those connected with some servitude, 1703, 1741, 5013.

Since the regulations that come next refer to male slaves and female slaves from the children of Israel, what they hold within them in the internal sense must be stated. Anyone can see that they contain the arcana of heaven, since they were declared and commanded by Jehovah on Mount Sinai to Moses orally, and since they follow very soon after the words of the Ten Commandments. Without such arcana they would be no more than civil and criminal laws like those of other nations on earth, which do not have any arcanum of heaven within them. But the arcana they contain are not evident except to angels in heaven. Consequently they do not become evident to people in the world except through the internal sense, because this sense teaches the way in which angels perceive the Word, and therefore teaches the arcana which the Word holds within itself. What those arcana are, and the nature of them, will be evident below from the explanation of specific details.

[2] So that a person may have a general idea of those things, a brief statement is needed to show what 'Hebrew slaves' in particular means in the internal sense. In the spiritual Church, which the children of Israel represented, there are two kinds of people. There are those who are imbued with the truth of faith but not with the complementary goodness of life, and there are those who are imbued with the good of charity and with the complementary truth of faith. Those imbued with the good of charity and complementary truth of faith constitute the truest part of the Church, being members of the internal Church. In the internal sense of the Word they are those called 'the children of Israel'. They are intrinsically free, because they are imbued with good; for those who are led by the Lord through good are free, 892, 905, 2870-2893. Those however who are imbued with the truth of faith and not with the complementary goodness of life are members of the external spiritual Church. These are the ones who are meant in the internal sense of the Word by 'Hebrew slaves'. The reason why these people are represented by slaves or servants is that relatively the things which belong to the external Church are nothing other than a body of servants. The same applies also to the relationship of the truth of faith-to the good of charity; for the truth of faith acts like a servant to lead a member of the Church into the good of charity.

[3] In addition it should be recognized that those who think that the all of the Church, thus the all of salvation, consists in the truth of faith and not in the good of charity, and also those who do good solely in a spirit of obedience and not out of love and affection, cannot be regenerated in the way that those people are who are imbued with the good of charity, that is, who do good out of love and affection. They can, it is true, be reformed, but not regenerated. The reformation of them is the subject in the internal sense at this point, in the laws regarding male slaves and female slaves. The arcana of that reformation are not known to anyone at the present day, the reason being that almost everywhere within the Church people are ignorant of what difference the truth of faith can make to salvation, and what difference the good of charity can make. Indeed people are ignorant of what charity is, and also that charity and faith must be married to each other if anything of the Church is to come into being in a person; for the marriage of goodness and truth constitutes the Church itself, because it is heaven within a person, 2173, 2618, 2728, 2729, 2803, 3132, 3155, 4434, 4823, 5194, 5502, 6179.

1 Of the blue, purple, and scarlet, they made finely worked garments, for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

2 He made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen.

3 They beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, in the purple, in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, the work of the skillful workman.

4 They made shoulder straps for it, joined together. At the two ends it was joined together.

5 The skillfully woven band that was on it, with which to fasten it on, was of the same piece, like its work; of gold, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

6 They worked the onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold, engraved with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the children of Israel.

7 He put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

8 He made the breastplate, the work of a skillful workman, like the work of the ephod; of gold, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen.

9 It was square. They made the breastplate double. Its length was a span, and its breadth a span, being double.

10 They set in it four rows of stones. A row of ruby, topaz, and beryl was the first row;

11 and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald;

12 and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

13 and the fourth row, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in gold settings.

14 The stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, everyone according to his name, for the twelve tribes.

15 They made on the breastplate chains like cords, of braided work of pure gold.

16 They made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

17 They put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.

18 The other two ends of the two braided chains they put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod, in its front.

19 They made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its edge, which was toward the side of the ephod inward.

20 They made two rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulder straps of the ephod underneath, in its front, close by its coupling, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.

21 They bound the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not come loose from the ephod, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

22 He made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.

23 The opening of the robe in its midst was like the opening of a coat of mail, with a binding around its opening, that it should not be torn.

24 They made on the skirts of the robe pomegranates of blue, purple, scarlet, and twined linen.

25 They made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates around the skirts of the robe, between the pomegranates;

26 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, around the skirts of the robe, to minister in, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

27 They made the coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,

28 and the turban of fine linen, and the linen headbands of fine linen, and the linen breeches of fine twined linen,

29 and the sash of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, the work of the embroiderer, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

30 They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote on it a writing, like the engravings of a signet: "holy TO YAHWEH."

31 They tied to it a lace of blue, to fasten it on the turban above, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

32 Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting was finished. The children of Israel did according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses; so they did.

33 They brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent, with all its furniture, its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets,

34 the covering of rams' skins dyed red, the covering of sea cow hides, the veil of the screen,

35 the ark of the testimony with its poles, the mercy seat,

36 the table, all its vessels, the show bread,

37 the pure lampstand, its lamps, even the lamps to be set in order, all its vessels, the oil for the light,

38 the golden altar, the anointing oil, the sweet incense, the screen for the door of the Tent,

39 the bronze altar, its grating of brass, its poles, all of its vessels, the basin and its base,

40 the hangings of the court, its pillars, its sockets, the screen for the gate of the court, its cords, its pins, all the instruments of the service of the tabernacle, for the Tent of Meeting,

41 the finely worked garments for ministering in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.

42 According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did all the work.

43 Moses saw all the work, and behold, they had done it as Yahweh had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.
