Deuteronomio 25

1 QUANDO vi sarà lite fra alcuni, ed essi verranno in giudicio, giudichinli i Giudici, e giustifichino il giusto, e condannino il reo.

2 E se il reo ha meritato d’esser battuto, faccialo il giudice gittare in terra, e battere in sua presenza, secondo il merito del suo misfatto, a certo numero di battiture.

3 Facciagli dare quaranta battiture, e non più; che talora, se continuasse a fargli dare una gran battitura oltre a questo numero, il tuo fratello non fosse avvilito nel tuo cospetto.

4 Non metter la museruola in bocca al bue, mentre trebbia.

5 QUANDO alcuni fratelli dimoreranno insieme, e un d’essi morrà senza figliuoli, non maritisi la moglie del morto fuori ad un uomo strano; il suo cognato venga da lei, e prendasela per moglie, e sposila per ragion di cognato.

6 E il primogenito ch’ella partorirà, nasca a nome del fratello morto del marito; acciocchè il suo nome non sia spento in Israele.

7 E se non aggrada a quell’uomo di prender la sua cognata, vada la sua cognata alla porta, agli Anziani, e dica: Il mio cognato ricusa di suscitar nome al suo fratello in Israele; egli non vuole sposarmi per ragion di cognato.

8 Allora gli Anziani della sua città lo chiamino, e parlino a lui; e s’egli, presentatosi, dice: E’ non mi aggrada di prenderla;

9 accostiglisi la sua cognata, nel cospetto degli Anziani, e traggagli del piè il suo calzamento, e sputigli nel viso. Poi protesti, e dica: Così sarà fatto all’uomo che non edificherà la casa del suo fratello.

10 E gli sarà posto nome in Israele: La casa dello scalzato.

11 Quando alcuni contenderanno insieme l’un contro all’altro, e la moglie dell’uno si accosterà per liberare il suo marito dalla man di colui che lo percuote, e stenderà la mano, e lo prenderà per le sue vergogne, mozzale la mano;

12 l’occhio tuo non le perdoni.

13 NON aver nel tuo sacchetto peso e peso; grande e piccolo.

14 Non avere in casa efa ed efa; grande e piccolo.

15 Abbi peso intiero e giusto; e parimente efa intiero e giusto; acciocchè i tuoi giorni sieno prolungati sopra la terra che il Signore Iddio tuo ti .

16 Perciocchè chiunque fa cotali cose, chiunque fa iniquità, è in abbominio al Signore Iddio tuo.

17 RICORDATI di ciò che ti fece Amalec nel cammino, dopo che voi foste usciti di Egitto;

18 come egli ti venne ad incontrare nel cammino, e alla coda percosse tutte le persone deboli che venivano dietro a te, essendo tu stanco e affaticato; e non temette Iddio.

19 Perciò, quando il Signore Iddio tuo ti avrà data requie da tutti i tuoi nemici d’ogn’intorno, nel paese che il Signore Iddio tuo ti in eredità per possederlo; spegni la memoria di Amalec disotto al cielo; non dimenticarlo.

   


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.

9437. 'And Moses was in the mountain forty days and forty nights' means the instructions given and influx in their completeness. This is clear from the meaning of 'forty' as completeness. 'Forty' means completeness because 'four' means that which is complete, 9103, as similarly does 'ten', 3107, 4638, and forty is the product of four multiplied by ten. For compound numbers have a meaning similar to the simple numbers of which they are the product, 5291, 5335, 5708, 7973; and all numbers in the Word mean spiritual realities, see 575, 3252, 4264, 4495, 4670, 5265, 6175. All this goes to explain why Moses was in the mountain forty days and forty nights. The fact that 'forty' here means the instructions given and the influx in their completeness is evident from Chapters 25-32 which come next, recording the instructions Moses received, that is, instructions regarding the ark, Aaron, the urim and thummim, and sacrifices. The reason why influx in its completeness is also meant is that at that time Moses began to represent the outward holiness of the Word, which acted as the intermediary between the Lord and the people, and mediation is accomplished by means of influx through that holiness into the representative existing among that people, 9419.

[2] It was because 'forty' represented completeness that Moses remained on Mount Sinai forty days and forty nights not only this time but also on another occasion, Exodus 34:28; Deuteronomy 9:18, 25; 10:10. For the same reason the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness forty years until, as it says in Numbers 14:33-34; 32:13, all that generation had been consumed; Jonah told the Ninevites that their city would be overturned after forty days, Jonah 3:4; the prophet was commanded to lie on his right side and bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days, Ezekiel 4:6; it says regarding Egypt that it would be made completely desolate for forty years, after which they would be gathered from the peoples, Ezekiel 29:11-13; and the earth was rained on forty days and forty nights, so that it was inundated with the flood, Genesis 7:4, 12, 17. From all this it is evident why the wicked person was to receive forty blows, Deuteronomy 25:3, for 'forty blows' meant the punishment in its completeness. It is also evident what should be understood in the prophecy of Deborah and Barak when it says that no shield or spear was seen among the forty thousand of Israel, Judges 5:8, 'among the forty thousand of Israel' meaning among them all. It is in addition evident why the temple built by Solomon was forty cubits long, 1 Kings 6:17, as was the new temple, according to Ezekiel 41:2; for in the highest sense 'the temple' means the Lord, and in the internal sense heaven and the Church, so that 'forty' means completeness in respect of representation. And it has a like meaning in other places.

Exodus 24

Studimi

   

1 He said to Moses, "Come up to Yahweh, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship from a distance.

2 Moses alone shall come near to Yahweh, but they shall not come near, neither shall the people go up with him."

3 Moses came and told the people all the words of Yahweh, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, "All the words which Yahweh has spoken will we do."

4 Moses wrote all the words of Yahweh, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

5 He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to Yahweh.

6 Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

7 He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, "All that Yahweh has spoken will we do, and be obedient."

8 Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, "Look, this is the blood of the covenant, which Yahweh has made with you concerning all these words."

9 Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.

10 They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies for clearness.

11 He didn't lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.

12 Yahweh said to Moses, "Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the tables of stone with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach them."

13 Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God's Mountain.

14 He said to the elders, "Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can go to them."

15 Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

16 The glory of Yahweh settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

17 The appearance of the glory of Yahweh was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.

18 Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
