1 あなたは偽りのうわさを言いふらしてはならない。あなたは悪人を携えて、悪意のある証人になってはならない。

2 あなたは多数に従って悪をおこなってはならない。あなたは訴訟において、多数に従って片寄り、正義を曲げるような証言をしてはならない。

3 また貧しい人をその訴訟において、曲げてかばってはならない。

4 もし、あなたがの牛または、ろばの迷っているのに会う時は、必ずこれを彼の所に連れて行って、帰さなければならない。

5 もしあなたを憎む者のろばが、その荷物の下に倒れ伏しているのを見る時は、これを見捨てて置かないように気をつけ、必ずその人に手を貸して、これを起さなければならない。

6 あなたは貧しい者の訴訟において、裁判を曲げてはならない。

7 あなたは偽り事に遠ざからなければならない。あなたは罪のない者と正しい者とを殺してはならない。わたしは悪人を義とすることはないからである。

8 あなたは賄賂を取ってはならない。賄賂は人の目をくらまし、正しい者の事件をも曲げさせるからである。

10 あなたは年のあいだ、地に種をまき、その産物を取り入れることができる。

14 あなたは年に三度、わたしのために祭を行わなければならない。

15 あなたは種入れぬパンの祭を守らなければならない。わたしが、あなたに命じたように、アビブ月の定めの時に七のあいだ、種入れぬパンを食べなければならない。それはそのにあなたがエジプトから出たからである。だれも、むなし手でわたしのに出てはならない。

16 また、あなたがにまいて獲た物の勤労の初穂をささげる刈入れの祭と、あなたの勤労の実をから取り入れる年の終りに、取入れの祭を行わなければならない。

21 あなたはそのに慎み、その言葉に聞き従い、彼にそむいてはならない。わたしの名が彼のうちにあるゆえに、彼はあなたがたのとがをゆるさないであろう。

22 しかし、もしあなたが彼の声によく聞き従い、すべてわたしが語ることを行うならば、わたしはあなたのとし、あなたのあだをあだとするであろう。

23 わたしの使はあなたのに行って、あなたをアモリびと、ヘテびと、ペリジびと、カナンびと、ヒビびと、およびエブスびとの所に導き、わたしは彼らを滅ぼすであろう。

24 あなたは彼らの神々を拝んではならない。これに仕えてはならない。また彼らのおこないにならってはならない。あなたは彼らを全く打ち倒し、その石の柱を打ち砕かなければならない。

25 あなたがたのに仕えなければならない。そうすれば、わたしはあなたがたのパンを祝し、あなたがたのうちから病を除き去るであろう。

26 あなたののうちには流産する女もなく、不妊の女もなく、わたしはあなたのの数を満ち足らせるであろう。

27 わたしはあなたの先に、わたしの恐れをつかわし、あなたが行く所の民を、ことごとく打ち敗り、すべてのに、その背をあなたの方へ向けさせるであろう。

28 わたしはまた、くまばちをあなたの先につかわすであろう。これはヒビびと、カナンびと、およびヘテびとをあなたのから追い払うであろう。

29 しかし、わたしは彼らを一年のうちには、あなたのから追い払わないであろう。土地が荒れすたれ、野の獣が増して、あなたを害することのないためである。

30 わたしは徐々に彼らをあなたのから追い払うであろう。あなたは、ついにふえひろがって、この地を継ぐようになるであろう。  

31 わたしは紅からペリシテびとのに至るまでと、荒野からユフラテに至るまでを、あなたの領域とし、この地に住んでいる者をあなたのにわたすであろう。あなたは彼らをあなたのから追い払うであろう。

32 あなたは彼ら、および彼らの神々と契約を結んではならない。

33 彼らはあなたのに住んではならない。彼らがあなたをいざなって、わたしに対して罪を犯させることのないためである。もし、あなたが彼らの仕えるならば、それは必ずあなたのわなとなるであろう」。

9261. 'You shall keep yourself well away from the word of a lie' means detesting falsity that arises from evil. This is clear from the meaning of 'a lie' as falsity arising from evil, dealt with in 8908, 9248, falsity arising from evil being meant since it is the falsity people should keep well away from because it derives its essential nature from evil, and evil and good are contrary to each other because evil comes from hell and good comes from heaven, where it is received from the Lord (but falsity which does not arise from evil, being falsity due to lack of knowledge, is not the same, see 1679, 2863, 4551, 4552, 4729, 4736, 6359, 7272, 7574, 8149, 8311, 8318 (end), 9258); and from the meaning of 'keeping oneself well away from' as detesting. The origin of this meaning of 'keeping well away from' as detesting lies with things seen in the spiritual world, where people's differences, disagreements, and detestations in regard to aspects of spiritual life keep them apart from one another. For in that world people seen together in the same place are in a like state in regard to their feelings and consequently their thoughts. But as soon as there is disagreement among them they are separated and kept apart from one another, as far away as the degree of disagreement determines. This is what happens because in the spiritual world extensions of space, like periods of time, are states also, and therefore distances are differences between states. Nevertheless states manifest themselves visually there as extensions of space, and the differences between them as distances. Regarding extensions of space and distances, and also periods of time, that they are states, see 1273-1277, 1376-1381, 2625, 3356, 3387, 3404, 3638-3641, 4321, 4882, 7381, 9104. Yet nevertheless there appear to be extensions of space and distances, but such appearances are the direct product of the changes of the state which things on more internal levels undergo, 5605. From all this it is now evident that 'keeping well away from' in the internal sense means detesting.

2625. 'At the appointed time' means when the Rational was such that it was receptive. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'time'. There are two things which appear to be indispensable while a person lives in the world because they exist as essential elements of the natural order - those two things being space and time. Living in the world or natural order therefore is living in space and time. But these two cease to have any existence in the next life. They do, it is true, appear to exist to some extent in the world of spirits, the reason for this being that spirits recently arrived from life in the body bring with them mental pictures of natural things. But subsequently they perceive that space and time do not exist in that life but states instead, and that states in the next life correspond to extensions of space and of time within the natural order - states in respect to Being corresponding to those of space, and in respect to Manifestation to those of time. Regarding space or place, see 1274, 1379, 1380, 1382.

[2] From this anyone may see what kind of mental pictures a person is able to have while in the world or natural order regarding things which belong to the next life and about many arcana of faith. He may see that such a person is unwilling to believe those things unless he can take them in by means of objects that exist in the world, indeed by sensory evidence. For he cannot do other than suppose that if he were to divest himself of his mental pictures that have been formed from space and time, more so to divest himself of space and time themselves, he would cease to be anything at all and so would have nothing left to him from which he could perceive with his senses or have thoughts of anything apart from that which was unintelligible to him. But in actual fact quite the reverse is the case: the life of angels is such that it is the wisest and happiest of all.

[3] This is the reason why people's ages mentioned in the Word do not in the internal sense mean ages but states, so that in this verse 'old age' does not mean old age. Nor does any number mean a number but some specific state, as in the case of 'a hundred years' mentioned further on. From this it now becomes clear that 'the appointed time' means the state when the rational was such that it was receptive.

[4] As regards the specific teaching presented here - that the Divine Rational received being and was given manifestation from the Lord's Divine spiritual united to His Divine celestial, when the days had been completed for him to cast off the human and when the Rational was such that it was receptive (meant in the internal sense by 'Sarah conceived and bore to Abraham a son in his old age, at the appointed time') - the following needs to be known:

The human has its beginnings in the inmost part of the rational, see 2106, 2194. The Lord advanced gradually towards the union of the Human Essence with the Divine Essence, and of the Divine Essence with the Human Essence, 1864, 2033, 2523.

He did so by His own power, 1921, 2025, 2026, 2083, through continuing temptations and repeated victories, 1690, 1737, 1813, and through receiving revelations repeatedly from His own Divine, 1616, 2500, till at length He cast out the whole human from the mother, 1414, 1444, 2574.

And in this way He made His Human - as to the Rational - Divine, as taught by the things that occur in this verse.

From all this it is evident how the explanation 'when the days had been completed for Him to cast off the human and when the Rational was such that it was receptive' is to be understood.

[5] Some idea of this matter may be had from what happens to people who are being regenerated. The celestial things of love, and the spiritual things of faith, are instilled into them by the Lord not all at once but gradually; and when by means of those things a person's rational has become such that it is able to be receptive, he is for the first time becoming regenerate, mostly by means of temptations in which he overcomes. While these experiences are taking place the days are being completed to cast off the old man and put on the new. Regarding man's regeneration, see 677, 679, 711, 848, 986, 1555, 2475.
