1 Se iu sxtelos bovon aux sxafon kaj bucxos gxin aux vendos gxin, tiam li pagu kvin bovojn pro la bovo kaj kvar sxafojn pro la sxafo.

2 Se iu trovos sxtelanton cxe subfosado kaj batos lin kaj tiu mortos, tiam oni ne jugxu lin pro la sango.

3 Sed se lumis super li la suno, tiam oni jugxu lin pro la sango. La sxtelinto pagu kompenson; se li ne havas, tiam oni lin vendu pro lia sxtelo.

4 Se la sxtelitajxo, cxu gxi estas bovo, cxu azeno, cxu sxafo, estos trovita en liaj manoj viva, tiam li kompensu duoble.

5 Se iu difektos kampon aux vinberejon, lasante sian bruton, ke gxi difektu kampon de aliulo, tiam li devas pagi per plejbonajxo el sia kampo kaj per plejbonajxo el sia vinberejo.

6 Se eliros fajro kaj trafos dornojn kaj ekstermos garbojn aux starantan grenon aux kampon, tiam tiu kompensu, kiu kauxzis la brulon.

7 Se iu donos al sia proksimulo monon aux uzatajxojn, por konservi, kaj ili estos sxtelitaj el la domo de tiu homo, tiam, se la sxtelinto estos trovita, li kompensu duoble.

8 Se la sxtelinto ne estos trovita, tiam la mastro de la domo venu al la potenculoj, kaj jxuru, ke li ne etendis sian manon sur la apartenajxon de sia proksimulo.

9 Pri cxiu maljustajxo, cxu gxi estos pri bovo, cxu pri azeno, cxu pri sxafo, cxu pri vesto, pri cxiu perditajxo, pri kiu iu diros, ke gxi estas lia, la afero de ambaux devas esti prezentita al la potenculoj; kiun la potenculoj trovos kulpa, tiu kompensu duoble al sia proksimulo.

10 Se iu donos al sia proksimulo azenon aux bovon aux sxafon aux alian bruton, por konservi, kaj gxi mortos aux estos difektita aux forkaptita, kaj neniu tion vidos,

11 tiam jxuro antaux la Eternulo estu inter ili, ke li ne etendis sian manon sur la apartenajxon de sia proksimulo, kaj gxia mastro gxin prenos kaj li ne kompensos.

12 Sed se oni gxin sxtelos de li, tiam li devas kompensi al gxia mastro.

13 Se gxi estos dissxirita, li prezentu ateston, kaj la dissxiritajxon li ne kompensos.

14 Se iu gxin prenos prunte de sia proksimulo, kaj gxi estos difektita aux mortos dum foresto de sia mastro, tiam li devas kompensi.

15 Se gxia mastro estis apud gxi, tiam li ne devas kompensi. Se gxi estis dungita, li perdis sian dungomonon.

16 Se iu forlogos virgulinon, kiu ne estas fiancxinigita, kaj kusxos kun sxi, tiam li donu al sxi doton kaj prenu sxin al si kiel edzinon.

17 Se sxia patro ne volos doni sxin al li, tiam li pagu tiom da mono, kiom virgulinoj ordinare ricevas dote.

18 Sorcxistinon ne lasu vivi.

19 CXiu, kiu kusxis kun bruto, estu mortigita.

20 Kiu alportas oferojn al dioj, krom al la Eternulo sole, tiu estu ekstermita.

21 Fremdulon ne ofendu, nek premu lin; cxar fremduloj vi estis en la lando Egipta.

22 Vidvinon kaj orfon ne premu.

23 Se vi ilin premos kaj ili krios al Mi, tiam Mi auxdos ilian krion;

24 kaj ekflamos Mia kolero, kaj Mi mortigos vin per glavo, kaj viaj edzinoj estos vidvinoj kaj viaj infanoj estos orfoj.

25 Se vi pruntedonos monon al iu el Mia popolo, al iu malricxulo apud vi, ne estu por li premanto, ne metu sur lin procentojn.

26 Se vi prenos de via proksimulo veston kiel garantiajxon, tiam antaux la subiro de la suno redonu gxin al li;

27 cxar gxi estas lia sola kovro, gxi estas la vesto por lia korpo; en kio li dormos? kaj kiam li krios al Mi, Mi auxdos, cxar Mi estas favorkora.

28 Potenculojn ne malbenu, kaj estron de via popolo ne insultu.

29 Vian abundon kaj sukon ne retenu; la unuenaskiton el viaj filoj vi devas doni al Mi.

30 Tiel same agu kun via bovo kaj via sxafo; sep tagojn gxi restu kun sia patrino, en la oka tago donu gxin al Mi.

31 Estu por Mi sanktaj homoj; kaj viandon, dissxiritan sur la kampo, ne mangxu; al hundo jxetu gxin.

Apocalypse Explained # 28

28. The first-born from the dead. That this signifies from whom is all good in heaven, is evident from the signification of first-born, when said of the Lord, as denoting the Divine good in heaven, thus all good there. The reason why this is signified by first-born, is, because by generations, in general and in particular, are signified spiritual generations, which are those of good and truth, or of love and faith. Therefore, by father, mother, sons, daughters, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law, and sons' sons, are signified the goods and truths which generate, and which are generated, in their order (Arcana Coelestia 10490). For in heaven there are no other nativities; and, this being the case, by first-born is not meant first-born, but the good of heaven and the church, because this is in the chief place. Now, because all good in heaven exists from the Lord, therefore He is called the First-born.

[2] The reason why He is called the first-born from the dead, is because, when He rose from the dead, He made His Human Divine Good by union with the Divine which was in Him from conception. This is why He is called the first-born from the dead; and why He says of Himself in David,

"I will make him the first-born, higher than the kings of the earth" (Psalm 89:27).

What is meant by His being higher than the kings of the earth, will be seen in the subsequent article. (That the Lord, when He departed out of the world, made His Human Divine Good, may be seen, Arcana Coelestia 3194, 3210, 6864, 7499, 8724, 9199, 10076, thus that He came forth from the Father and returned to the Father, n. 3194, 3210; and that after the union, the Divine truth, which is the Comforter, the Spirit of truth, goes forth from Him, n. 3704, 3712, 3969, 4577, 5704, 7499, 8127, 8241, 9199, 9398, 9407. But this mystery may be seen more fully explained in the small work, The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem 293-295; and in the passages from Arcana Coelestia there cited, n. 303-305.)

Since the Lord as to His Divine Human is called the first-born, because all good goes forth from Him, therefore all the first-born in the Israelitish church were holy to Jehovah; and therefore also the Levites were taken in the place of all the first-born in Israel. For by the sons of Levi were represented those of the church who are in the good of charity. On this account, also, a double portion of the inheritance fell to the first-born. All this, because the first-born signified good from the Lord, and, in the highest sense, the Lord Himself as to the Divine Human, from which all good comes; for all the things commanded in the Israelitish church were representative of spiritual and celestial Divine things.

[3] That all the first-born in the Israelitish church were holy to Jehovah is evident from Moses, in the following passages:

"Sanctify unto me all the first-born, whatsoever openeth the womb among the sons of Israel, in man and in beast; it is mine" (Exodus 13:2).

"Thou shalt cause to pass over unto Jehovah all that openeth the womb, and every firstling that cometh of a beast as many as thou hast, the males shall be Jehovah's" (13:12).

"Thou shalt not delay the first fruits of thy produce, and the first fruits of thy wine; the first-born of thy sons shalt thou give unto me. Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen and with thy sheep; seven days it shall be with its dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me. And ye shall be men of holiness unto me" (Exodus 22:29-31).

The reason why they were to give also the first-born of beasts, was, because these also were representative; on which account, also, they were made use of in burnt-offerings and sacrifices. (What the various beasts in these services represented, may be seen, Arcana Coelestia 1823, 3519, 9280, 10042.) The Levites were accepted in place of all the first-born in Israel (concerning which, see Numbers 3:12, 13, 41, 45; 8:15-19), because, as observed above, the sons of Levi represented, and thence signified, the good of charity, and Levi, in the highest sense, represented the Lord as to that good (as may be seen, n. 3875, 3877, 4497, 4502, 4503, 10017). The reason why a double portion of the inheritance fell to the first-born (Deuteronomy 21:17), was, because a double portion signified the good of love (n. 720, 1686, 5194, 8423).

9090. 'And when a man's ox inflicts a blow on [his] companion's ox' means two truths with dissimilar affections, and the affection with one injures that with the other. This is clear from the meaning of 'inflicting a blow' as injuring truth, dealt with above in 9057; from the meaning of 'an ox' as an affection for good, and in the contrary sense an affection for evil in the natural, also dealt with above, in 9065; and from the meaning of 'a man' as truth, dealt with in 9034, so that 'man' and 'companion' mean two truths. The reason why dissimilar affections are what are meant is that they are oxen, by which affections are meant, that injure each other. For things which are dissimilar injure each other, but not those which are not dissimilar.

[2] Those unacquainted with the nature of representatives and correspondences may be astonished to learn that 'an ox', being a beast, can mean an affection for good or an affection for evil present with a person But let them know that all beasts mean such things as belong to some affection or inclination. This is very well known in the spiritual world, for various kinds of beasts frequently make their appearance there, such as oxen' young bulls, cows, horses, mules, asses, sheep, she-goats, kids, and lambs; also evil beasts, such as tigers, panthers, bears, dogs, pigs, and serpents, as well as beasts seen nowhere on our planet; and in addition various kinds of birds.

[3] The idea that such creatures make their appearance there lies far beyond the belief of those who suppose that nothing exists apart from what they see with their bodily eyes. But these same people also refuse to believe in the existence of spirits or angels, even more so in the idea that they appear to themselves as persons, see one another, talk to one another, and touch one another. Their incredulity is due to their thinking so much on the level of the senses and the body that they suppose their bodies alone are living. This is why, as has been stated, the idea of such creatures lies far beyond their belief. But I have not only seen such sights thousands of times; I have also been told where the creatures I have seen come from, and what they are signs of. I have also accordingly been told that, when presented visually in animal forms, affections for good in the natural appear as harmless oxen, and affections for evil as harmful oxen, and that all other affections are presented in the forms of other animals. So it is that different kinds of beasts are the signs of the various kinds of affections in a person to which they correspond. But regarding these matters see what has been shown already in 142, 143, 246, 714-716, 719, 1823, 2179, 2180, 2781, 2805, 2807, 2830, 3218, 3519, 5198, 7523.
