Éxodo 22

Студија

   

1 Cuando alguno hurtare buey u oveja, y lo degollare o vendiere, por aquel buey pagará cinco bueyes, y por aquella oveja cuatro ovejas.

2 Si el ladrón fuere hallado forzando una casa, y fuere herido y muriere, el que lo hirió no será culpado de su muerte.

3 Si el sol hubiere salido sobre él, el matador será reo de homicidio; el ladrón habrá de restituir cumplidamente; si no tuviere, será vendido por su hurto.

4 Si fuere hallado con el hurto en la mano, sea buey o asno u oveja vivos, pagará el doble.

5 Si alguno hiciere pastar tierra o viña, y metiere su bestia, y comiere la tierra de otro, de lo mejor de su tierra y de lo mejor de su viña pagará.

6 Cuando se prendiere fuego, y al quemar espinas quemare mieses amontonadas o en pie, o campo, el que encendió el fuego pagará lo quemado.

7 Cuando alguno diere a su prójimo plata o alhajas a guardar, y fuere hurtado de la casa de aquel hombre, si el ladrón se hallare, pagará el doble.

8 Si el ladrón no se hallare, entonces el dueño de la casa será presentado a los jueces, para jurar si ha metido su mano en la hacienda de su prójimo.

9 Sobre todo negocio de fraude, sobre buey, sobre asno, sobre oveja, sobre vestido, sobre toda cosa perdida, cuando uno dijere: Esto es mío , la causa de ambos vendrá delante de los jueces; y el que los jueces condenaren, pagará el doble a su prójimo.

10 Si alguno hubiere dado a su prójimo asno, o buey, u oveja, o cualquier otro animal a guardar, y se muriere o se perniquebrare, o fuere llevado sin verlo nadie;

11 juramento del SEÑOR tendrá lugar entre ambos de que no metió su mano a la hacienda de su prójimo; y su dueño lo aceptará, y el otro no pagará.

12 Mas si le hubiere sido hurtado, lo pagará a su dueño.

13 Y si le hubiere sido arrebatado por fiera , le traerá testimonio, y no pagará lo arrebatado.

14 Pero si alguno hubiere tomado prestada bestia de su prójimo, y fuere perniquebrada o muerta, ausente su dueño, la pagará.

15 Si el dueño estaba presente, no la pagará. Si era alquilada, él vendrá por su alquiler.

16 Cuando alguno engañare a alguna virgen que no fuere desposada, y durmiere con ella, deberá dotarla y tomarla por mujer.

17 Si su padre no quisiere dársela, él le pesará plata conforme al dote de las vírgenes.

18 A la hechicera no darás la vida.

19 Cualquiera que cohabitare con bestia, morirá.

20 El que sacrificare a dioses, excepto sólo al SEÑOR, será muerto.

21 Y al extranjero no engañarás, ni angustiarás, porque extranjeros fuisteis vosotros en la tierra de Egipto.

22 A ninguna viuda ni huérfano afligiréis.

23 Que si tú llegas a afligirle, y él a mí clamare, ciertamente oiré yo su clamor;

24 y mi furor se encenderá, y os mataré a cuchillo, y vuestras mujeres serán viudas, y huérfanos vuestros hijos.

25 Si dieres a mi pueblo dinero prestado, al pobre que está contigo, no te portarás con él como logrero, ni le impondrás usura.

26 Si tomares en prenda el vestido de tu prójimo, a puestas del sol se lo volverás;

27 porque sólo aquello es su cubierta, es aquel el vestido para cubrir sus carnes, en el que ha de dormir; y será que cuando él a mí clamare, yo entonces le oiré, porque soy misericordioso.

28 No maldecirás a los jueces, ni maldecirás al príncipe de tu pueblo.

29 No dilatarás la primicia de tu cosecha, ni de tu licor, me darás el primogénito de tus hijos.

30 Así harás con el de tu buey y de tu oveja: siete días estará con su madre, y al octavo día me lo darás.

31 Y habéis de serme varones santos; y no comeréis carne arrebatada de las fieras en el campo; a los perros la echaréis.

9206. 'And your wives will become widows' means that forms of good with them will perish. This is clear from the meaning of 'wives' (mulier) as forms of good, dealt with in 6014, 8337, the reason why they mean forms of good being that the marriage of a man (vir) and a woman (mulier) represents truth and good joined together ('a man' means truth, and 'a woman' good, see 4510, 4823); and from the meaning of 'widows' as those who have good but not truths, and still have a desire for truths, 9198. But those who have no desire for truths are meant here, since the evil who afflict widows are the subject. So it is that 'widows' is used here to mean those with whom forms of good perish.

[2] The situation is that the good of people who have good but no desire for truth is not real good, because truths are what make good real good. For good receives its specific quality from truths, see 9154. Good joined to truth is what is meant by spiritual good; therefore when truth perishes with a person, so too does good, and conversely when good perishes, so too does truth. For the bond between them is severed and dissolved, see 3804, 4149, 4301, 4302, 5835, 6917, 7835, 8349, 8356. Consequently good is recognized from this, that it has a desire and an affection for truth for the sake of good and useful service, thus for life's sake. Regarded in itself, the actual desire or affection for truth for life's sake is an affection for being joined to it. It is like food or bread that desires water or wine for the sake of combining with it; for combined with each other they provide nourishment. It is also like heat and light. Light combined with heat causes all things on the planet to spring forth and grow up; but if the combination is dissolved that which has sprung forth and grown up dies.

[3] As it is with good, so it is with all delight, pleasantness, sweetness, agreement, and harmony; these joys are such not of themselves but by virtue of the things they hold within them. Good and truth joined together make them such and determine their specific character. But what it is within them that has connection with good and what with truth is something that people who have understanding may recognize if they ponder on the matter; for everything whatever in the world, and everything whatever in heaven, thus in the whole of creation, has connection with good and with truth. Everything that has sprung forth from them has connection with both at the same time, thus with both joined together. This explains why all things were likened by the ancients to marriages, see 54, 55, 1432, 5194, 7022, and why every detail of the Word has the marriage of goodness and truth within it, 683, 793, 801, 2516, 2712, 4138 (end), 5138, 5502, 6343, 7945, 8339 (end).

8339. 'With timbrels and with dances' means praise from joy and gladness. This is clear from the meaning of 'timbrel' as that which has regard to an affection for spiritual good, or to the good of truth, and means the delight or joy belonging to it, dealt with just above in 8337; and from the meaning of 'dance' as that which has regard to an affection for spiritual truth, and means the delightful feeling or gladness belonging to it, dealt with below. In ancient times not only musical instruments and singing served to bear witness to gladness of heart but also dancing. Joyful feelings in the heart or interior things erupted into various activities in the body, such as singing and also dancing. Since in ancient times the glad feelings excelling all others were spiritual ones, that is, feelings springing from affections belonging to spiritual kinds of love, which were affections for goodness and truth, people were allowed, when they engaged in singing and musical harmony, to dance as well and so in dancing also to bear witness to their joy. This explains why 'dancing' is mentioned in the Word, meaning the glad feelings that belong to affections for truth, or to faith grounded in good or charity, as in Jeremiah,

Again you will adorn your timbrels, 1 and will go forth in the dance of the merrymakers. Their life 2 will become like a watered garden, and they will not sorrow any more. Then will the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old together. Jeremiah 31:4, 12-13.

In the same prophet,

The joy of our heart has ceased 3 , our dance has been turned into mourning. Lamentations 5:15

In David,

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing. Psalms 30:11.

In the same author,

Let them praise His name in dancing, with timbrel and harp let them make melody to Him. Psalms 149:3; 150:4.

Also the gentiles played and danced when they worshipped their gods, as is clear in Exodus 32:6, 19.

[2] The words 'joy and gladness' are used because 'joy' in the Word has reference to good and 'gladness' to truth. This is why 'joy' and 'gladness' are mentioned many times in the Word both together, as in Isaiah,

Behold, joy and gladness consist in slaying oxen ... Isaiah 22:13.

In the same prophet,

They will obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing will flee away. Isaiah 35:10.

In the same prophet, Joy and gladness will be found in Zion, confession and the voice of song. Isaiah 51:3, 11.

In Jeremiah,

The voice of joy and the voice of gladness, and the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride. Jeremiah 33:11.

In Zechariah,

The fast of the tenth [month] will be to the house of Judah one of joy and gladness. Zechariah 8:19.

In David,

You shall cause me to hear joy and gladness. Psalms 51:8.

In these places both are mentioned because 'joy' has reference to good and 'gladness' to truth; if this were not so the use of one word would have been sufficient. This holy way of speaking is used in the Word in order that the heavenly marriage, that is, the marriage of goodness and truth, might be present in every detail there, 683, 793, 801, 2173, 2516, 2712, 4138 (end), 5138, 5502, 7945.
