Izlazak 23

Estude

   

1 Ne iznosi lažnih glasova; ne pristaj s bezbožnikom da svedočiš krivo.

2 Ne idi za množinom na zlo, i ne govori na sudu povodeći se za većim brojem da se izvrne pravda.

3 Siromahu u parnici njegovoj ne gledaj što je siromah.

4 Ako naiđeš na vola neprijatelja svog ili na magarca njegovog, gde je zalutao, odvedi ga k njemu.

5 Ako vidiš gde je nenavidniku tvom pao magarac pod teretom svojim, nemoj da ga ostaviš, nego mu pomozi.

6 Nemoj izvrnuti pravde siromahu svom u parnici njegovoj.

7 Reči lažne kloni se, i bezazlenog i pravog nemoj ubiti, jer neću opravdati bezbožnika.

8 Ne uzimaj poklona, jer poklon zaslepljuje okate i izvrće reči pravima.

9 Došljake ne cveli, jer vi znate kakva je duša došljaku, jer ste bili došljaci u zemlji misirskoj.

10 Šest godina zasejavaj zemlju svoju i sabiraj rod njen;

11 A sedme godine ostavi je neka počine, da jedu siromasi naroda tvog, a šta iza njih ostane neka jedu zveri poljske; tako radi i s vinogradom svojim i s maslinikom svojim.

12 Šest dana radi poslove svoje, a u sedmi dan počini, da se odmori vo tvoj i magarac tvoj, i da odahne sin robinje tvoje i došljak.

13 Držite se svega što sam vam kazao. Ne pominjite imena bogova tuđih, i da se ne čuje iz usta vaših.

14 Tri puta preko godine svetkuj mi:

15 Praznik presnih hlebova drži; sedam dana jedi hlebove presne, kao što sam ti zapovedio, na vreme, meseca Aviva, jer si tada izašao iz Misira; i niko da ne izađe preda me prazan;

16 I praznik žetve prvina od truda tvog što poseješ u polju svom; i praznik berbe na svršetku svake godine, kad sabereš trud svoj s njive.

17 Tri puta preko godine sve muškinje tvoje da izlazi pred Gospoda Boga.

18 Krv od žrtve moje ne prinosi uz hlebove kisele, i pretilina praznika mog da ne prenoći do jutra.

19 Prvine od prvog roda zemlje svoje donesi u kuću Gospoda Boga svog; nemoj kuvati jagnjeta u mleku majke njegove.

20 Evo, ja šaljem anđela svog pred tobom da te čuva na putu, i da te odvede na mesto koje sam ti pripravio.

21 Čuvaj ga se, i slušaj ga, nemoj da ga rasrdiš, jer vam neće oprostiti greh, jer je moje ime u njemu.

22 Nego ako ga dobro uzaslušaš i ustvoriš sve što kažem, ja ću biti neprijatelj tvojim neprijateljima i protivnik tvojim protivnicima.

23 Jer će anđeo moj ići pred tobom i odvešće te u zemlju amorejsku i hetejsku i ferezejsku i hananejsku i jevejsku i jevusejsku, i ja ću ih istrebiti.

24 Nemoj se klanjati bogovima njihovim niti im služiti, ni činiti šta oni čine, nego ih sasvim obori i likove njihove sasvim izlomi.

25 I služite Gospodu Bogu svom, i On će blagosloviti hleb tvoj i vodu tvoju; i ukloniću bolest između vas.

26 Neće biti pometkinje ni nerotkinje u zemlji tvojoj; i broj dana tvojih napuniću.

27 Pustiću strah svoj pred tobom, i uplašiću svaki narod na koji dođeš, i obratiću k tebi pleći svih neprijatelja tvojih.

28 Poslaću i stršljene pred tobom, da teraju Jeveje, Hananeje i Heteje ispred tebe.

29 Neću ih oterati ispred tebe za jednu godinu, da ne opusti zemlja i da se zverje poljsko ne namnoži na tebe.

30 Pomalo ću ih odgoniti ispred tebe dokle se ne namnožiš i zauzmeš zemlju.

31 I postaviću međe tvoje od mora crvenog do mora filistejskog i od pustinje do reke; jer ću vama u ruke dati one koji žive u onoj zemlji da ih oteraš ispred sebe.

32 Nemoj hvatati vere s njima ni s bogovima njihovim.

33 Neka ne sede u zemlji tvojoj, da te ne navrate da se ogrešiš o mene, jer bi služio bogovima njihovim, i to bi ti bila zamka.

9261. Keep thee far from the word of a lie. That this signifies an aversion for the falsity of evil, is evident from the signification of “a lie,” as being falsity from evil (see n. 8908, 9248). The reason why there is signified falsity from evil is that this falsity must be kept far away, because it derives its essence from evil; and evil and good are opposites; for evil is from hell, and good is from heaven, and there it is from the Lord. But falsity not derived from evil, which is the falsity of ignorance, is not of such a nature (see n. 1679, 2863, 4551, 4552, 4729, 4736, 6359, 7272, 7574, 8149, 8311, 8318, 9258). And from the signification of “keeping far away,” as being to feel aversion for. That “removal far away” denotes aversion, originates from the removals of this kind which appear in the spiritual world, in that they are according to dissimilarities, differences, and aversions, in respect to the things of spiritual life. For those who appear there in one place are in a like state of the affections and of the derivative thoughts; but as soon as they are at variance, they are separated and go far away from one another; and this according to the degree of their variance. This comes to pass because in the spiritual world both spaces and times are states, and therefore distances are differences of states. Nevertheless, before the external sight, states appear there as spaces, and their differences as distances. (That spaces and distances, and also times, are states, see n. 1273-1277, 1376-1382, 2625, 3356, 3387, 3404, 3638-3641, 4321, 4882, 7381, 9104; but that nevertheless there are appearances of spaces and distances, which originate from changes of state in the interiors, n. 5605.) From this it is now evident that in the internal sense “removal far away” denotes aversion.

1356. That by “Terah” is signified idolatrous worship, may be seen from the derivations spoken of from the twentieth verse to this place. This Second Ancient Church degenerated from a kind of internal worship, and was so adulterated that at last it became idolatrous; as churches are wont to do, in that from internal things they go to external, and finally terminate in mere external things, internal things being blotted out. That such was the case with this church, insomuch that a great part of them did not acknowledge Jehovah as God, but worshiped other gods, is evident in Joshua:

Joshua said unto all the people, Thus hath said Jehovah the God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt of old time beyond the river, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor; and they served other gods. Now therefore fear Jehovah, and serve Him in integrity and in truth; and put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the river, and in Egypt, and serve ye Jehovah. And if it be evil in your eyes to serve Jehovah, choose ye this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods that your fathers served, that were beyond the river, or the gods of the Amorites (Joshua 24:2, 14-15).

Here it is very plain that Terah, Abram, and Nahor were idolaters.

[2] That Nahor was a nation in which there was idolatrous worship, is also evident from Laban the Syrian, who dwelt in the city of Nahor, and worshiped the images or teraphim which Rachel carried away (Genesis 24:10; 31:19, 26, 32, 34). And that there was one god of Abraham, another god of Nahor, and another of their father, that is, of Terah, is evident from Genesis 31:53. It is also plainly stated by Moses concerning Abram, that Jehovah was not known to him:

I Jehovah appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, in God Shaddai, but by My name Jehovah I was not known to them (Exodus 6:3).

From all this it is evident how much this church fell away among this nation into the idolatrous worship which is here signified by Terah; and because it is signified by Terah, it is also signified by Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
