Исход 23

1 Не внимай пустому слуху, не давай руки твоей нечестивому, чтоббыть свидетелем неправды.

2 Не следуй за большинством на зло, и не решай тяжбы, отступая по большинству от правды;

3 и бедному не потворствуй в тяжбе его.

4 Если найдешь вола врага твоего, или осла его заблудившегося, приведи его к нему;

5 если увидишь осла врага твоего упавшим под ношею своею, то не оставляй его; развьючь вместе с ним.

6 Не суди превратно тяжбы бедного твоего.

7 Удаляйся от неправды и не умерщвляй невинного и правого, ибо Я неоправдаю беззаконника.

8 Даров не принимай, ибо дары слепыми делают зрячих и превращают дело правых.

9 Пришельца не обижай: вы знаете душу пришельца, потому что сами былипришельцами в земле Египетской.

10 Шесть лет засевай землю твою и собирай произведения ее,

11 а в седьмой оставляй ее в покое, чтобы питались убогие из твоего народа, а остатками после них питались звери полевые; так же поступай с виноградником твоим и с маслиною твоею.

12 Шесть дней делай дела твои, а в седьмой день покойся, чтобы отдохнул вол твой и осел твой и успокоился сын рабы твоей и пришлец.

13 Соблюдайте все, что Я сказал вам, и имени других богов не упоминайте; да не слышится оно из уст твоих.

14 Три раза в году празднуй Мне:

15 наблюдай праздник опресноков: семь дней ешь пресный хлеб, как Я повелел тебе, в назначенное время месяца Авива, ибо в оном ты вышел из Египта; и пусть не являются пред лице Мое с пустыми руками;

16 наблюдай и праздник жатвы первых плодов труда твоего, какие ты сеял на поле, и праздник собирания плодов в конце года, когда уберешь с поля работу твою.

17 Три раза в году должен являться весь мужеский полтвой пред лице Владыки, Господа.

18 не изливай крови жертвы Моей на квасное, и тук от праздничной жертвы Моей не должен оставаться до утра.

19 Начатки плодов земли твоей приноси в дом Господа, Бога твоего. Невари козленка в молоке матери его.

20 Вот, Я посылаю пред тобою Ангела хранить тебя на пути и ввести тебя в то место, которое Я приготовил.

21 блюди себя пред лицем Его и слушай гласа Его; не упорствуй противНего, потому что Он не простит греха вашего, ибо имя Мое в Нем.

22 Если ты будешь слушать гласа Его и исполнять все, что скажу, то врагом буду врагов твоих и противником противников твоих.

23 Когда пойдет пред тобою Ангел Мой и поведет тебя к Аморреям, Хеттеям, Ферезеям, Хананеям, Евеям и Иевусеям, и истреблю их:

24 то не поклоняйся богам их, и не служи им, и не подражай делам их,но сокруши их и разрушь столбы их:

25 служите Господу, Богу вашему, и Он благословит хлеб твой и водутвою; и отвращу от вас болезни.

26 Не будет преждевременно рождающих и бесплодных в земле твоей; число дней твоих сделаю полным.

27 Ужас Мой пошлю пред тобою, и в смущение приведу всякий народ, к которому ты придешь, и буду обращать к тебетыл всех врагов твоих;

28 пошлю пред тобою шершней, и они погонят от лица твоего Евеев,Хананеев и Хеттеев;

29 не выгоню их от лица твоего в один год, чтобы земля не сделалась пуста и не умножились против тебя звери полевые:

30 мало-помалу буду прогонять их от тебя, доколе ты не размножишься и не возьмешь во владение земли сей.

31 Проведу пределы твои от моря Чермного до моря Филистимского и от пустыни до реки; ибо предам в руки ваши жителей сей земли, и прогонишь их от лица твоего;

32 не заключай союза ни с ними, ни с богами их;

33 не должны они жить в земле твоей, чтобы они не ввели тебя в грех против Меня; ибо если ты будешь служить богам их, то это будет тебе сетью.

9255. 'When you meet your enemy's ox or his ass going astray' means unauthentic good and unauthentic truth with those who are outside the Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'enemy' as those outside the Church, who are the subject below; from the meaning of 'ox' as the external man's good, and from the meaning of 'ass' as the external man's truth, both dealt with in 2781, 9135 - but unauthentic good and truth, such as exists with those outside the Church, who are meant by 'enemy'. The reason why those outside the Church are meant by 'enemy' is that they have a different idea of what the good and truth of faith are, because they do not possess the Word and therefore do not know anything about the Lord or about Christian faith and charity that come from the Lord alone. Consequently their truth of faith is not authentic, neither is their good of charity. Therefore also they do not live together in the next life with those who belong to the Church but are separated from them. All in the next life are formed into communities according to their good and the truth flowing from it, for these are what compose spiritual life and link people together.

[2] However, those in heaven do not regard people outside the Church as enemies; rather they teach them and bring them to Christian good, which is also welcomed by those of them who in the world have led dutiful and obedient lives, in some kind of charity towards one another that is prescribed by their religion. But the sense of the letter of the Word calls them 'enemies' on account of their lack of spiritual agreement, which is, as has been stated, their different idea of what the truth of faith and the good of charity are. See what has been shown from experience regarding the state and condition in the next life of nations outside the Church, in 2589-2604, 2861, 2863, 4190, 4197. The requirement to regard these very people as friends, and to teach and correct them, is the meaning in the internal sense of the words you shall surely bring it back, which the next paragraph deals with.

[3] Only this needs to be added here, that in the Word various kinds of beasts mean affections and inclinations such as the human being shares in common with beasts, and in the spiritual sense affections for goodness and truth, internal and external, see 45, 46, 142, 143, 246, 714, 715, 776, 2179, 2180, 2781, 3218, 3519, 5198, 9090; and that beasts were therefore used in sacrifices in accordance with their spiritual meaning, 1823, 2180, 2805, 2807, 2830, 3519. Consequently this law of personal conduct stating that an enemy's oxen and asses going astray should be brought back to him means in the spiritual sense such things as are characteristic of the Church, thus such as are feelings of mutual love or charity towards those whose ideas are different from the Church's truths.

4190. 'And Jacob took a stone and erected it as a pillar' means a like truth and worship based on this. This is clear from the meaning of 'a stone' as truth, dealt with in 643, 1298, 3720, and from the meaning of 'a pillar' as worship based on it, that is, on truth, dealt with in 3727, from which paragraphs it is evident that these words mean a like truth and worship based on this. The expression 'a like truth' is used, that is, truth as it exists among gentiles, because although gentiles do not know anything about the Word or as a consequence about the Lord, they still have the same external truths as Christians, such as these: One should worship God with due reverence, keep religious festivals, and honour one's parents; one should not steal, commit adultery, or kill; also, one should not covet what belongs to another. Thus gentiles have the same kind of truths as are included in the Ten Commandments and are also the standards of behaviour set within the Church. The wise among them act in conformity not only with the external but also with the internal form which those same commandments take, for they think that the kinds of things which are forbidden are not only contrary to their religion but also contrary to the common good and so to the internal obligation which they owe to other people, and that as a consequence such actions are contrary to charity. And they think in this way even though they have little knowledge of what faith is. In their obscurity they possess a kind of conscience against which they are unwilling to act, indeed against which some are incapable of acting. From this it becomes clear that the Lord governs their interiors which are in obscurity, and in so doing imparts to them an ability to receive interior truths, which they also do receive in the next life - see what has been shown concerning gentiles in 2589-2604.

[2] I have been allowed to talk on several occasions to Christians in the next life about the state and fortune of gentiles outside the Church - that they accept the truths and goods of faith more easily than do Christians who have not lived according to the Lord's commandments, and that Christians think of gentiles in a heartless fashion. That is to say, they think that all outside the Church stand condemned, a way of thinking based on the established rule that outside the Lord there is no salvation. I have told the Christians to whom I have been speaking that this rule is true, but that gentiles who have led charitable lives with one another and who, moved by some kind of conscience, have done what is just and fair, receive faith and acknowledge the Lord more easily in the next life than those who are inside the Church and have not led charitable lives. I have gone on to say that Christians are subject to falsity when they believe that heaven is theirs alone because they have the Book of the Word, written down on paper but not in their hearts, and also when they know the Lord but do not believe that He is Divine as to His Human, indeed when they do not acknowledge Him, as to His second Essence which they term the human nature, as any more than an ordinary human being. Therefore, left to themselves and their own ideas they do not even adore Him. So it is they themselves who are outside the Lord, and for whom there is no salvation.
