Exodo 20

Студија

   

1 At sinalita ng Dios ang lahat ng salitang ito, na sinasabi,

2 Ako ang Panginoon mong Dios, na naglabas sa iyo sa lupain ng Egipto, sa bahay ng pagkaalipin.

3 Huwag kang magkakaroon ng ibang mga dios sa harap ko.

4 Huwag kang gagawa para sa iyo ng larawang inanyuan o ng kawangis man ng anomang anyong nasa itaas sa langit, o ng nasa ibaba sa lupa, o ng nasa tubig sa ilalim ng lupa:

5 Huwag mong yuyukuran sila, o paglingkuran man sila; sapagka't akong Panginoon mong Dios, ay Dios na mapanibughuin, na aking dinadalaw ang katampalasanan ng mga magulang sa mga anak, hanggang sa ikatlo at ikaapat na salin ng lahi ng mga napopoot sa akin;

6 At pinagpapakitaan ko ng kaawaan ang libolibong umiibig sa akin at tumutupad ng aking mga utos.

7 Huwag mong babanggitin ang pangalan ng Panginoon mong Dios sa walang kabuluhan; sapagka't hindi aariin ng Panginoong walang sala ang bumanggit ng kaniyang pangalan sa walang kabuluhan.

8 Alalahanin mo ang araw ng sabbath upang ipangilin.

9 Anim na araw na gagawa ka at iyong gagawin ang lahat ng iyong gawain.

10 Nguni't ang ikapitong araw ay sabbath sa Panginoon mong Dios: sa araw na iyan ay huwag kang gagawa ng anomang gawa, ikaw, ni ang iyong anak na lalake ni babae, ni ang iyong aliping lalake ni babae, ni ang iyong baka, ni ang iyong tagaibang lupa na nasa loob ng iyong mga pintuang daan:

11 Sapagka't sa anim na araw ay ginawa ng Panginoon ang langit at lupa, ang dagat, at lahat ng nangaroon, at nagpahinga sa ikapitong araw; na ano pa't pinagpala ng Panginoon ang araw ng sabbath, at pinakabanal.

12 Igalang mo ang iyong ama at ang iyong ina: upang ang iyong mga araw ay tumagal sa ibabaw ng lupa na ibinibigay sa iyo ng Panginoon mong Dios.

13 Huwag kang papatay.

14 Huwag kang mangangalunya.

15 Huwag kang magnanakaw.

16 Huwag kang magbibintang sa iyong kapuwa.

17 Huwag mong iimbutin ang bahay ng iyong kapuwa, huwag mong iimbutin ang asawa ng iyong kapuwa, ni ang kaniyang aliping lalake o babae, ni ang kaniyang baka, ni ang kaniyang asno, ni anomang bagay ng iyong kapuwa.

18 At nakikita ng buong bayan ang mga kulog, at ang mga kidlat, at ang tunog ng pakakak at ang bundok na umuusok: at nang makita ng bayan, ay nanginig sila, at tumayo sa malayo.

19 At sinabi nila kay Moises, Magsalita ka sa amin, at aming didinggin: datapuwa't huwag magsalita ang Dios sa amin, baka kami ay mamatay.

20 At sinabi ni Moises sa bayan, Huwag kayong matakot: sapagka't ang Dios ay naparito upang subukin kayo, at upang ang takot sa kaniya ay sumainyo, upang huwag kayong magkasala.

21 At ang bayan ay tumayo sa malayo, at si Moises ay lumapit sa salimuot na kadiliman na kinaroroonan ng Dios.

22 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Ganito mo sasabihin sa mga anak ni Israel: Kayo ang nakakita na ako'y nakipagusap sa inyo mula sa langit.

23 Huwag kayong gagawa ng ibang mga dios na iaagapay sa akin; ng mga dios na pilak, o ng mga dios na ginto, huwag kayong gagawa para sa inyo.

24 Isang dambanang lupa ang inyong gagawin sa akin, at inyong ihahain doon ang inyong mga handog na susunugin, at ang inyong mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan, ang inyong mga tupa, at ang inyong mga baka sa lahat ng dakong aking ipaaalaala ang aking pangalan, ay paparoonan kita at pagpapalain kita.

25 At kung igagawa mo ako ng isang dambanang bato, ay huwag mong itatayong may tapyas: sapagka't kung iyong gamitin ang iyong patalim doon, ay iyong nilapastangan yaon.

26 Ni huwag kang sasampa sa aking dambana sa pamamagitan ng mga baytang, upang ang inyong kahubaran ay huwag malitaw sa ibabaw niyaon.

8981. 'If his master has given him a woman' means good attached by the spiritual to truth during conflict. This is clear from the meaning of 'master' here as the spiritual, for 'master' in this instance is used to refer to one who is a member of the children of Israel, and by 'the children of Israel' those who are true members of the spiritual Church are meant, that is, who do good from love and affection, or what amounts to the same thing, from charity (regarding 'the children of Israel', that they are members of the spiritual Church, see 6426, 6862, 6868, 7035, 7062, 7198, 7201, 7215, 7223, 7957, 8234, 8805, which being so, they mean in the abstract sense spiritual truths and forms of good, 5414, 5801, 5803, 5806, 5812, 5817, 5819, 5826, 5833, 5879), so that 'master' here means the spiritual; and from the meaning of 'giving him a woman' as attaching good to truth, for 'giving', when said in regard to a woman, means attaching. And 'the slave' is someone who is imbued with the truth of religious teachings and not with complementary good, 8974, while 'the woman' is delight, 8980, but at this point good, because this is given or attached to that truth by the spiritual. Everything is called good that comes from the spiritual, since the spiritual itself is the good of charity. For the meaning of 'woman' as good, see 915, 2517, 4823, 6014, 8337. During conflict is meant because it says that if his master had given him a woman she was to be the master's after the servitude. From this it is evident that the woman was the slave's during servitude but not after it thus during conflict but not after conflict; for servitude lasting six years means labour and conflict, 8975.

[2] Is there anyone who cannot see that this regulation holds an arcanum which no one can know unless it is disclosed to him? For in its outward form it appears contrary to God's justice, that when a slave goes out of servitude the woman who has been given to him should remain the master's, when yet a woman should be her husband's forever. There are many other apparent injustices like these which Jehovah commanded the children of Israel, such as that they were to ask from the Egyptians vessels of gold and silver, and clothes, and in so doing were to plunder them, besides other similar actions, dealt with in their individual places. But although those regulations in their outward form appear, as has been stated, contrary to God's justice, they are not really so; for they rise out of the laws of Divine order in heaven, and these are perfect laws of justice. But those laws cannot be seen unless the internal sense is used to disengage them from the sense of the letter. The law that this regulation rises out of is this: Spiritual good cannot be joined to those who are confined since early childhood to the external things of the Church; it can only be linked to them for as long as they undergo conflict, after which it departs.

[3] To bring this whole matter out into the open, for it is an arcanum, it must be discussed briefly. There are people who - although they have from early childhood thought little about eternal life, and so about the welfare of their soul, and have thought instead about worldly life and its prosperity - have nevertheless led a morally good life and have also believed the truths taught by their Church. When they reach maturer age there is no other way in which they can be reformed than by the linking of spiritual good during conflict. They do not however retain that good but merely use it to strengthen the truths they have been taught. The reason for this is that in their life before then such people have surrendered themselves to worldly kinds of love, and when these have become deeply rooted they do not allow spiritual good to be joined to truth; for those kinds of love are totally repugnant to this good. Nevertheless spiritual good can take hold in those people's thinking when those kinds of love subside, as happens during anxiety, misfortunes, or sicknesses, and the like. At this time an affection to do good from charity enters in; but that affection merely serves to strengthen and root more deeply the truths they have been taught. It cannot however be joined to truth. The reason why is that this charitable affection entering in fills only the understanding part of the mind. It does not pass into the will part of it, and what does not pass into the will is not adopted by or accordingly joined to truth. For goodness and truth with a person come to be joined together when truth passes into the will, consequently when the person wills it and because he wills it does it. Then, for the first time, truth becomes good, or what amounts to the same thing, faith becomes charity.

[4] This cannot come about with those who have from early childhood surrendered themselves to worldly kinds of love and yet have been imbued with truth taught by their Church. For the will part of their mind is occupied by such love, which is the complete opposite of spiritual good and repels it. They allow it into solely the understanding part of their mind, that is, into their thought, when those kinds of love have become dormant, which happens, as stated above, during a state of sickness or misfortune, or during anxiety, consequently during labour and some conflict. This is the arcanum that lies concealed within this regulation; and since the regulation was for that reason representative of the law of Divine order regarding those imbued with the truth of religious teachings and not with the complementary good, in the representative Church it was in keeping with God's justice, even in its outward form.

7957. 'Both you and the children of Israel' means together with their truth from God, and with truth that leads to good and truth which springs from good. This is clear from the representation of 'Moses' as the truth from God, dealt with just above in 7955; and from the representation of 'the children of Israel' as those belonging to the spiritual Church, dealt with often, thus those guided by truth that leads to good and by truth which springs from good. For the spiritual Church differs from the celestial Church in that it is brought to the good of charity by means of the truth of faith, which being so it considers truth to be the essential thing. Initial contact with that good for them is effected through truth, for truth teaches them what they ought to do; and when they do that truth it is called good. This good, once they have been brought in contact with it, becomes the standpoint from which they see truths, that show them further how to act. From this it is evident that whether you say those belonging to the spiritual Church or those guided by truth through Which good is done, and by truth seen from the standpoint of good, it amounts to the same thing.
