1 και ταυτα τα δικαιωματα α παραθησεις ενωπιον αυτων

2 εαν κτηση παιδα εβραιον εξ ετη δουλευσει σοι τω δε εβδομω ετει απελευσεται ελευθερος δωρεαν

3 εαν αυτος μονος εισελθη και μονος εξελευσεται εαν δε γυνη συνεισελθη μετ' αυτου εξελευσεται και η γυνη μετ' αυτου

4 εαν δε ο κυριος δω αυτω γυναικα και τεκη αυτω υιους η θυγατερας η γυνη και τα παιδια εσται τω κυριω αυτου αυτος δε μονος εξελευσεται

5 εαν δε αποκριθεις ειπη ο παις ηγαπηκα τον κυριον μου και την γυναικα και τα παιδια ουκ αποτρεχω ελευθερος

6 προσαξει αυτον ο κυριος αυτου προς το κριτηριον του θεου και τοτε προσαξει αυτον επι την θυραν επι τον σταθμον και τρυπησει αυτου ο κυριος το ους τω οπητιω και δουλευσει αυτω εις τον αιωνα

7 εαν δε τις αποδωται την εαυτου θυγατερα οικετιν ουκ απελευσεται ωσπερ αποτρεχουσιν αι δουλαι

8 εαν μη ευαρεστηση τω κυριω αυτης ην αυτω καθωμολογησατο απολυτρωσει αυτην εθνει δε αλλοτριω ου κυριος εστιν πωλειν αυτην οτι ηθετησεν εν αυτη

9 εαν δε τω υιω καθομολογησηται αυτην κατα το δικαιωμα των θυγατερων ποιησει αυτη

10 εαν δε αλλην λαβη εαυτω τα δεοντα και τον ιματισμον και την ομιλιαν αυτης ουκ αποστερησει

11 εαν δε τα τρια ταυτα μη ποιηση αυτη εξελευσεται δωρεαν ανευ αργυριου

12 εαν δε παταξη τις τινα και αποθανη θανατω θανατουσθω

13 ο δε ουχ εκων αλλα ο θεος παρεδωκεν εις τας χειρας αυτου δωσω σοι τοπον ου φευξεται εκει ο φονευσας

14 εαν δε τις επιθηται τω πλησιον αποκτειναι αυτον δολω και καταφυγη απο του θυσιαστηριου μου λημψη αυτον θανατωσαι

15 ος τυπτει πατερα αυτου η μητερα αυτου θανατω θανατουσθω

16 ο κακολογων πατερα αυτου η μητερα αυτου τελευτησει θανατω

17 ος εαν κλεψη τις τινα των υιων ισραηλ και καταδυναστευσας αυτον αποδωται και ευρεθη εν αυτω θανατω τελευτατω

18 εαν δε λοιδορωνται δυο ανδρες και παταξη τις τον πλησιον λιθω η πυγμη και μη αποθανη κατακλιθη δε επι την κοιτην

19 εαν εξαναστας ο ανθρωπος περιπατηση εξω επι ραβδου αθωος εσται ο παταξας πλην της αργιας αυτου αποτεισει και τα ιατρεια

20 εαν δε τις παταξη τον παιδα αυτου η την παιδισκην αυτου εν ραβδω και αποθανη υπο τας χειρας αυτου δικη εκδικηθητω

21 εαν δε διαβιωση ημεραν μιαν η δυο ουκ εκδικηθησεται το γαρ αργυριον αυτου εστιν

22 εαν δε μαχωνται δυο ανδρες και παταξωσιν γυναικα εν γαστρι εχουσαν και εξελθη το παιδιον αυτης μη εξεικονισμενον επιζημιον ζημιωθησεται καθοτι αν επιβαλη ο ανηρ της γυναικος δωσει μετα αξιωματος

23 εαν δε εξεικονισμενον ην δωσει ψυχην αντι ψυχης

24 οφθαλμον αντι οφθαλμου οδοντα αντι οδοντος χειρα αντι χειρος ποδα αντι ποδος

25 κατακαυμα αντι κατακαυματος τραυμα αντι τραυματος μωλωπα αντι μωλωπος

26 εαν δε τις παταξη τον οφθαλμον του οικετου αυτου η τον οφθαλμον της θεραπαινης αυτου και εκτυφλωση ελευθερους εξαποστελει αυτους αντι του οφθαλμου αυτων

27 εαν δε τον οδοντα του οικετου η τον οδοντα της θεραπαινης αυτου εκκοψη ελευθερους εξαποστελει αυτους αντι του οδοντος αυτων

28 εαν δε κερατιση ταυρος ανδρα η γυναικα και αποθανη λιθοις λιθοβοληθησεται ο ταυρος και ου βρωθησεται τα κρεα αυτου ο δε κυριος του ταυρου αθωος εσται

29 εαν δε ο ταυρος κερατιστης η προ της εχθες και προ της τριτης και διαμαρτυρωνται τω κυριω αυτου και μη αφανιση αυτον ανελη δε ανδρα η γυναικα ο ταυρος λιθοβοληθησεται και ο κυριος αυτου προσαποθανειται

30 εαν δε λυτρα επιβληθη αυτω δωσει λυτρα της ψυχης αυτου οσα εαν επιβαλωσιν αυτω

31 εαν δε υιον η θυγατερα κερατιση κατα το δικαιωμα τουτο ποιησουσιν αυτω

32 εαν δε παιδα κερατιση ο ταυρος η παιδισκην αργυριου τριακοντα διδραχμα δωσει τω κυριω αυτων και ο ταυρος λιθοβοληθησεται

33 εαν δε τις ανοιξη λακκον η λατομηση λακκον και μη καλυψη αυτον και εμπεση εκει μοσχος η ονος

34 ο κυριος του λακκου αποτεισει αργυριον δωσει τω κυριω αυτων το δε τετελευτηκος αυτω εσται

35 εαν δε κερατιση τινος ταυρος τον ταυρον του πλησιον και τελευτηση αποδωσονται τον ταυρον τον ζωντα και διελουνται το αργυριον αυτου και τον ταυρον τον τεθνηκοτα διελουνται

36 εαν δε γνωριζηται ο ταυρος οτι κερατιστης εστιν προ της εχθες και προ της τριτης ημερας και διαμεμαρτυρημενοι ωσιν τω κυριω αυτου και μη αφανιση αυτον αποτεισει ταυρον αντι ταυρου ο δε τετελευτηκως αυτω εσται

37 εαν δε τις κλεψη μοσχον η προβατον και σφαξη αυτο η αποδωται πεντε μοσχους αποτεισει αντι του μοσχου και τεσσαρα προβατα αντι του προβατου

9034. And when a man shall smite his manservant, or his maidservant, with a rod. That this signifies if anyone within the church ill-treats the truth of memory, or its affection, from his own power, is evident from the signification of “smiting,” as being to ill-treat, for “smiting” is predicated of any injury whatsoever; from the signification of “a man” [vir], here a man of the sons of Israel, as being one who is of the church, and who consequently is in spiritual truth, which is the truth of the doctrine of faith of the church from the Word (see n. 6426, 6637, 6862, 6868, 7035, 7062, 7198, 7201, 7215, 7223, 7957, 8234, 8805); from the signification of a “manservant,” as being memory-truth, which is the truth of the Word, but of its literal sense (of which below); from the signification of a “maidservant,” as being natural affection, thus the affection of memory knowledges, because these are in the natural (n. 1895, 2567, 3835, 3849, 8993, 8994); and from the signification of a “rod,” as being natural power (n. 4876, 4936, 6947, 7011, 7026), here, one’s own power, because the manservant of whom it is said, was bought. From this it is plain that by the words, “if a man shall smite his manservant, or his maidservant,” is signified if anyone within the church ill-treats the memory-truth of the Word, or its affection.

[2] The reason why a “manservant” denotes the truth of the literal sense of the Word, is that by a “servant” in general are signified lower or exterior things, because these serve higher or interior things (n. 2541, 5161, 5164, 5936, 7143); consequently by a “servant” is signified the natural, because this serves the spiritual (n. 3019, 3020, 5305, 7998), consequently memory-truth, which belongs to the literal sense of the Word, for this serves spiritual truth, which belongs to the internal sense. The truth of the internal sense of the Word is the same as the genuine truth of the doctrine of faith of the church.

[3] How the truth of the literal sense of the Word serves spiritual truth, shall be briefly told. The man of the church first learns truth from the literal sense of the Word, which is general truth accommodated to the apprehension of the external man, who is in natural light. This truth is received by an external way, that is, by hearing, and is stored up in the memory of the external man, where are also various memory-knowledges derived from the world (n. 2469-2494). Afterward the things stored up in this memory are subjected to the sight or view of the internal man, who sees from the light of heaven. The internal man calls forth therefrom by selection the truths which agree with the good which flows in from the Lord by the way of the soul, and which the man had received. There the Lord conjoins these truths with good. The truths which are thus conjoined in the internal man are called “spiritual truths,” and the good with which the truths are conjoined is called “spiritual good.” This good, formed by means of truths, is what makes the spiritual life of man. The truths themselves there are called “the truths of faith,” and the good is called “the good of charity.” The good in which truths have thus been implanted is the church with man.

[4] From this it is plain in what manner the truths of the literal sense of the Word serve for the formation of spiritual truths, in general for the formation of faith and of charity, which make the spiritual life; which life consists in being affected with truths for the sake of good, and in being affected with good from truths, and finally in being affected with truths from good.

Genesis 41

Estude

   

1 It happened at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and behold, he stood by the river.

2 Behold, there came up out of the river seven cattle, sleek and fat, and they fed in the marsh grass.

3 Behold, seven other cattle came up after them out of the river, ugly and thin, and stood by the other cattle on the brink of the river.

4 The ugly and thin cattle ate up the seven sleek and fat cattle. So Pharaoh awoke.

5 He slept and dreamed a second time: and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good.

6 Behold, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.

7 The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy and full ears. Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.

8 It happened in the morning that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all of Egypt's magicians and wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.

9 Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, "I remember my faults today.

10 Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker.

11 We dreamed a dream in one night, I and he. We dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.

12 There was with us there a young man, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard, and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams. To each man according to his dream he interpreted.

13 It happened, as he interpreted to us, so it was: he restored me to my office, and he hanged him."

14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. He shaved himself, changed his clothing, and came in to Pharaoh.

15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said of you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it."

16 Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, "It isn't in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace."

17 Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, "In my dream, behold, I stood on the brink of the river:

18 and behold, there came up out of the river seven cattle, fat and sleek. They fed in the marsh grass,

19 and behold, seven other cattle came up after them, poor and very ugly and thin, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for ugliness.

20 The thin and ugly cattle ate up the first seven fat cattle,

21 and when they had eaten them up, it couldn't be known that they had eaten them, but they were still ugly, as at the beginning. So I awoke.

22 I saw in my dream, and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, full and good:

23 and behold, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.

24 The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me."

25 Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh.

26 The seven good cattle are seven years; and the seven good heads of grain are seven years. The dream is one.

27 The seven thin and ugly cattle that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind; they will be seven years of famine.

28 That is the thing which I spoke to Pharaoh. What God is about to do he has shown to Pharaoh.

29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt.

30 There will arise after them seven years of famine, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land,

31 and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous.

32 The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

33 "Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a discreet and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.

34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt's produce in the seven plenteous years.

35 Let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.

36 The food will be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt; that the land not perish through the famine."

37 The thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.

38 Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?"

39 Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Because God has shown you all of this, there is none so discreet and wise as you.

40 You shall be over my house, and according to your word will all my people be ruled. Only in the throne I will be greater than you."

41 Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt."

42 Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck,

43 and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had. They cried before him, "Bow the knee!" He set him over all the land of Egypt.

44 Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I am Pharaoh, and without you shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt."

45 Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-Paneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On as a wife. Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.

46 Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.

47 In the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth abundantly.

48 He gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was around every city, he laid up in the same.

49 Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, for it was without number.

50 To Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.

51 Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, "For," he said, "God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house."

52 The name of the second, he called Ephraim: "For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction."

53 The seven years of plenty, that were in the land of Egypt, came to an end.

54 The seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

55 When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, "Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do."

56 The famine was over all the surface of the earth. Joseph opened all the store houses, and sold to the Egyptians. The famine was severe in the land of Egypt.

57 All countries came into Egypt, to Joseph, to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
