pag-aaral

   

1 Wenn jemand einen Ochsen stiehlt oder ein Stück Kleinvieh, und schlachtet es oder verkauft es, so soll er fünf Ochsen erstatten für den Ochsen und vier Stück Kleinvieh für das Stück. -

2 Wenn der Dieb beim Einbruch betroffen wird, und er wird geschlagen, daß er stirbt, so ist es ihm (d. h. dem Schläger des Diebes; O. so ist seinetwegen, d. h. des Diebes wegen; so auch V. 3) keine Blutschuld;

3 wenn die Sonne über ihm aufgegangen ist, so ist es ihm eine Blutschuld. Er soll gewißlich erstatten; wenn er nichts hat, soll er für seinen Diebstahl verkauft werden.

4 Wenn das Gestohlene lebend in seiner Hand gefunden wird, es sei ein Ochse oder ein Esel oder ein Stück Kleinvieh, soll er das Doppelte erstatten.

5 So jemand ein Feld oder einen Weingarten (O. ein Gartenland) abweiden läßt und er sein Vieh hintreibt, und es weidet auf dem Felde eines anderen, so soll er es vom Besten seines Feldes und vom Besten seines Weingartens erstatten.

6 Wenn Feuer ausbricht und Dornen (d. h. wahrsch. eine Dornenhecke) erreicht, und es wird ein Garbenhaufen verzehrt, oder das stehende Getreide oder das Feld, so soll der gewißlich erstatten, der den Brand angezündet hat.

7 So jemand seinem Nächsten Geld oder Geräte in Verwahrung gibt, und es wird aus dem Hause dieses Mannes gestohlen, wenn der Dieb gefunden wird, so soll er das Doppelte erstatten;

8 wenn der Dieb nicht gefunden wird, so soll der Besitzer des Hauses vor die ichter treten, ob er nicht seine Hand nach der Habe seines Nächsten ausgestreckt hat. -

9 Bei jedem Falle von Veruntreuung betreffs eines Ochsen, eines Esels, eines Stückes Kleinvieh, eines Kleides, betreffs alles Verlorenen, wovon man sagt: "das ist es", soll beider Sache vor die ichter kommen; wen die ichter schuldig sprechen, der soll seinem Nächsten das Doppelte erstatten. -

10 So jemand seinem Nächsten einen Esel oder einen Ochsen oder ein Stück Kleinvieh oder irgend ein Vieh in Verwahrung gibt, und es stirbt oder wird beschädigt oder weggeführt, und niemand sieht es,

11 so soll der Eid Jehovas zwischen ihnen beiden sein, ob er nicht seine Hand nach der Habe seines Nächsten ausgestreckt hat; und sein Besitzer (d. h. des Viehes) soll es annehmen, und jener soll nichts erstatten.

12 Und wenn es ihm wirklich gestohlen worden ist, so soll er es seinem Besitzer erstatten.

13 Wenn es aber zerrissen worden ist, so soll er es als Zeugnis bringen; er soll das Zerrissene nicht erstatten.

14 Und wenn jemand von seinem Nächsten ein Stück Vieh entlehnt, und es wird beschädigt oder stirbt-war sein Besitzer nicht dabei, so soll er es gewißlich erstatten;

15 wenn sein Besitzer dabei war, soll er es nicht erstatten. Wenn es gemietet war, so ist es für seine Miete gekommen.

16 Und so jemand eine Jungfrau betört, die nicht verlobt ist, und liegt bei ihr, so soll er sie gewißlich durch eine Heiratsgabe sich zum Weibe erkaufen.

17 Wenn ihr Vater sich durchaus weigert, sie ihm zu geben, so soll er Geld darwägen nach der Heiratsgabe der Jungfrauen. -

18 Eine Zauberin sollst du nicht leben lassen. -

19 Jeder, der bei einem Vieh liegt, soll gewißlich getötet werden. -

20 Wer den Göttern opfert außer Jehova allein, soll verbannt (S. die Vorrrede) werden.

21 Und den Fremdling sollst du nicht bedrängen und ihn nicht bedrücken, denn Fremdlinge seid ihr im Lande Ägypten gewesen.

22 Keine Witwe und Waise sollt ihr bedrücken.

23 Wenn du sie irgend bedrückst, so werde ich, wenn sie irgendwie zu mir schreit, ihr Geschrei gewißlich erhören;

24 und mein Zorn wird entbrennen, und ich werde euch mit dem Schwerte töten, und eure Weiber sollen Witwen und eure Kinder Waisen werden. -

25 Wenn du meinem Volke, dem Armen bei dir, Geld leihst, so sollst du ihm nicht sein wie ein Gläubiger; (Eig. jemand, der um Zins Geld ausleiht) ihr sollt ihm keinen Zins auferlegen. -

26 Wenn du irgend deines Nächsten Mantel (Eig. Obergewand, das als Decke benutzt wurde. Vergl. die Anm. zu Kap. 12,34; 5. Mose 22,30) zum Pfande nimmst, so sollst du ihm denselben zurückgeben, ehe die Sonne untergeht;

27 denn es ist seine einzige Decke, sein Kleid für seine Haut; worin soll er liegen? Und es wird geschehen, wenn er zu mir schreit, so werde ich ihn erhören, denn ich bin gnädig. -

28 Die ichter sollst du nicht lästern, und einem Fürsten deines Volkes sollst du nicht fluchen.

29 Mit der Fülle deines Getreides und dem Ausfluß deiner Kelter (W. mit deiner Fülle und deinem Ausfluß) sollst du nicht zögern. Den erstgeborenen deiner Söhne sollst du mir geben.

30 Desgleichen sollst du mit deinem Ochsen tun und mit deinem Kleinvieh; sieben Tage soll es bei seiner Mutter sein, am achten Tage sollst du es mir geben. -

31 Und heilige Männer sollt ihr mir sein, und Fleisch, das auf dem Felde zerrissen worden ist, sollt ihr nicht essen; ihr sollt es den Hunden vorwerfen.

9174. And when a man shall borrow from his companion. That this signifies truth and good from another stock, is evident from the signification of “borrowing,” as being to receive truth from some other source than one’s self, and thus truth from another stock. “Borrowing” has this signification because in the spiritual world there are no other goods that are asked from others, and given, than those which are of intelligence and wisdom. There are indeed many other things offered to view, nay, things innumerable, but they are appearances arising from those things which are of intelligence and wisdom. From this it is evident that “to borrow” denotes to be instructed by another, and thus to receive truths, or knowledges of truth and good, from some other source than one’s self. How this is shall be further explained. A man is said to receive truths from himself when he infers them from the truths he has with him. In this case he conjoins them with those he formerly possessed. But in doing this he admits only those truths which agree together under the same good; for it is good that disposes truths into series and connects them together. Good is like the soul in man, and truths are like those things with which the soul clothes itself, and by means of which it acts. It is well known that each and all things in man live from his soul; and so also do the truths of faith live from the good of love to the Lord and of love toward the neighbor. If this good is not the soul of a man, but the good of the love of self or the love of the world, then the man is not a man, but a wild beast, and in the other life in the light of heaven he also appears as a wild beast; though in his own light, which at the approach of the light of heaven becomes thick darkness, he appears as a man. It is, however, to be understood that the Lord disposes truths into order in accordance with the good of the man’s life.

[2] A man is said to receive truths from some other source, when he is instructed by another; and if these truths do not agree together under the good in which he is, they are indeed stored up in his memory among memory-knowledges; but they do not become his—that is, of his faith—because they are of another stock. These are the truths which are treated of in this verse and the following one.

[3] When “borrowing” and “lending” are mentioned in the Word, there is signified to be instructed and to instruct from the affection of charity; as in Matthew:

Give to everyone that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away (Matthew 5:42);

it is evident that “asking” here does not mean asking, for it is said, “Give to everyone that asketh”; and that neither by “borrowing” is meant borrowing; for if a person were to give to everyone that asketh, and also to everyone that would borrow, he would be stripped of all his goods. But as the Lord spoke from the Divine, by “asking,” and “wishing to borrow;” and by giving and receiving a loan, is meant the communication of heavenly goods, which are those of the knowledges of good and truth; for in regard to such a communication the fact is that the more an angel gives to another from the affection of charity, the more there flows in with him of the general good from heaven, that is, from the the Lord, (n. 6478). Thus by “giving to him that asketh,” an angel is not deprived of goods, but is enriched with them. The case is the same with a man, when he does good to another from the affection of charity; but charity consists in giving to the good, and it is not charity to give to the evil what they ask and desire (n. 8120); according to these words in David:

The wicked borroweth, and restoreth not; but the righteous showeth mercy and giveth (Psalms 37:21).

And in Luke:

If ye lend to them from whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? Rather love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hope for nothing again; then shall your reward be great, and ye shall be the sons of the Highest (Luke 6:34-35).

[4] Here also by “lending” is meant doing good from the affection of charity, and thus communicating the goods of heaven; and also the goods of the world, but the latter for the sake of the former as the end in view. The affection of charity consists in communicating goods without any recompense as the end in view; but there is no affection of charity in communicating goods for the sake of recompense as the end in view (n. 2373, 2400, 3816, 3956, 4943, 6388-6390, 6392, 6393, 6478, 8002). The affection of charity consists in loving one’s enemies, and in benefiting the evil; but enemies are loved and are benefited when they are instructed, and also when they are corrected by suitable means (n. 8121).

[5] The exercise of charity is also signified by “lending,” in Moses:

If thou shalt obey the voice of Jehovah, and shalt observe to do His commandments, thou shalt lend to many peoples, but thou shalt not borrow (Deuteronomy 28:1, (Deuteronomy 28:1) 12);

“to lend to many peoples” denotes to abound in the goods of intelligence and wisdom, and to communicate them to others out of this abundance; and not to be in need of the goods of others, because all things are given him by the Lord. So in David:

A good man who hath mercy and lendeth, will maintain his words in judgment; for he will never be moved (Psalms 112:5-6);

by “having mercy and lending” is described the state of those who are in genuine charity. In like manner, Psalm 37:21; and other passages.

2 If the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt of bloodshed for him.

3 If the sun has risen on him, guilt of bloodshed shall be for him; he shall make restitution. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

4 If the stolen property is found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, donkey, or sheep, he shall pay double.

5 "If a man causes a field or vineyard to be eaten, and lets his animal loose, and it grazes in another man's field, he shall make restitution from the best of his own field, and from the best of his own vineyard.

6 "If fire breaks out, and catches in thorns so that the shocks of grain, or the standing grain, or the field are consumed; he who kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.

7 "If a man delivers to his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it is stolen out of the man's house; if the thief is found, he shall pay double.

8 If the thief isn't found, then the master of the house shall come near to God, to find out if he hasn't put his hand to his neighbor's goods.

9 For every matter of trespass, whether it be for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any kind of lost thing, about which one says, 'This is mine,' the cause of both parties shall come before God. He whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbor.

10 "If a man delivers to his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies or is injured, or driven away, no man seeing it;

11 the oath of Yahweh shall be between them both, whether he hasn't put his hand to his neighbor's goods; and its owner shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.

12 But if it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to its owner.

13 If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it for evidence. He shall not make good that which was torn.

14 "If a man borrows anything of his neighbor's, and it is injured, or dies, its owner not being with it, he shall surely make restitution.

15 If its owner is with it, he shall not make it good. If it is a leased thing, it came for its lease.

16 "If a man entices a virgin who isn't pledged to be married, and lies with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife.

17 If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

19 "Whoever has sex with an animal shall surely be put to death.

22 "You shall not take advantage of any widow or fatherless child.

23 If you take advantage of them at all, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;

24 and my wrath will grow hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

25 "If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor; neither shall you charge him interest.

26 If you take your neighbor's garment as collateral, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down,

27 for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What would he sleep in? It will happen, when he cries to me, that I will hear, for I am gracious.

28 "You shall not blaspheme God, nor curse a ruler of your people.

29 "You shall not delay to offer from your harvest and from the outflow of your presses. "You shall give the firstborn of your sons to me.

30 You shall do likewise with your cattle and with your sheep. Seven days it shall be with its mother, then on the eighth day you shall give it to me.

31 "You shall be holy men to me, therefore you shall not eat any flesh that is torn by animals in the field. You shall cast it to the dogs.
