1 Εαν τις ευρεθη πεφονευμενος εν τη γη, την οποιαν Κυριος ο Θεος σου διδει εις σε δια να κληρονομησης αυτην, πεσμενος εις την πεδιαδα, και ηναι αγνωστον τις εφονευσεν αυτον,

2 τοτε θελουσιν εξελθει οι πρεσβυτεροι σου και οι κριται σου, και θελουσι μετρησει προς τας πολεις τας περιξ του πεφονευμενου·

3 και της πολεως, ητις ειναι η πλησιεστερα εις τον πεφονευμενον, οι πρεσβυτεροι της πολεως εκεινης θελουσι λαβει δαμαλιν, ητις δεν υπεβληθη εις εργασιαν ουδε εσυρεν υπο τον ζυγον·

4 και θελουσι καταβιβασει οι πρεσβυτεροι της πολεως εκεινης την δαμαλιν εις τραχειαν φαραγγα, ητις ουτε γεωργειται ουτε σπειρεται και εκει εν τη φαραγγι θελουσι κοψει τον τραχηλον της δαμαλεως.

5 Και θελουσι πλησιασει οι ιερεις οι υιοι του Λευι· επειδη αυτους εξελεξε Κυριος ο Θεος σου να λειτουργωσιν εις αυτον, και να ευλογωσιν εν τω ονοματι του Κυριου· και κατα τον λογον αυτων θελει κρινεσθαι πασα διαφορα και πασα πληγη·

6 και παντες οι πρεσβυτεροι της πολεως εκεινης, της πλησιεστερας εις τον πεφονευμενον, θελουσι νιψει τας χειρας αυτων επι της δαμαλεως της εσφαγμενης εν τη φαραγγι·

7 και αποκριθεντες θελουσιν ειπει, Αι χειρες ημων δεν εχυσαν το αιμα τουτο, ουδε ειδον οι οφθαλμοι ημων·

8 γενου ιλεως, Κυριε, εις τον λαον σου τον Ισραηλ, τον οποιον ελυτρωσας, και μη βαλης επι τον λαον σου Ισραηλ αιμα αθωον· και θελει συγχωρηθη εις αυτους το αιμα.

9 Ουτω θελεις εξαλειψει εκ μεσου σου το αθωον αιμα, οταν καμης το αρεστον εις τους οφθαλμους του Κυριου.

10 Οταν εξελθης να πολεμησης τους εχθρους σου, και Κυριος ο Θεος σου παραδωση αυτους εις τας χειρας σου, και λαβης εξ αυτων αιχμαλωτους,

11 και ιδης μεταξυ των αιχμαλωτων γυναικα ευειδη και επιθυμησης αυτην, δια να λαβης αυτην εις σεαυτον γυναικα,

12 τοτε θελεις φερει αυτην εις την οικιαν σου, και θελει ξυρισει την κεφαλην αυτης και περιονυχισει τους ονυχας αυτης·

13 και θελει εκδυθη τα ενδυματα της αιχμαλωσιας αυτης επανωθεν αυτης και θελει καθησει εν τη οικια σου και κλαυσει τον πατερα αυτης και την μητερα αυτης ολοκληρον μηνα· και μετα ταυτα θελεις εισελθει προς αυτην, και θελεις εισθαι ανηρ αυτης και εκεινη θελει εισθαι γυνη σου.

14 Και εαν συμβη να μη ευχαριστησαι εις αυτην, τοτε θελεις εξαποστειλει αυτην ελευθεραν· και δεν θελεις πωλησει αυτην δι' αργυριον, δεν θελεις εμπορευθη αυτην, διοτι εταπεινωσας αυτην.

15 Εαν τις εχη δυο γυναικας, την μιαν αγαπωμενην και την αλλην μισουμενην, και γεννησωσιν εις αυτον τεκνα η αγαπωμενη και η μισουμενη, και ο πρωτοτοκος υιος ηναι της μισουμενης,

16 τοτε, καθ' ην ημεραν μοιραζει εις τους υιους αυτου την περιουσιαν αυτου, δεν δυναται να καμη πρωτοτοκον τον υιον της αγαπωμενης, παριδων τον υιον της μισουμενης, τον αληθως πρωτοτοκον·

17 αλλα θελει αναγνωρισει τον υιον της μισουμενης δια πρωτοτοκον, διδων εις αυτον διπλουν μεριδιον εκ παντων των υπαρχοντων αυτου· διοτι ειναι η αρχη της δυναμεως αυτου· εις τουτον ανηκουσι τα πρωτοτοκια.

18 Εαν τις εχη υιον πεισματωδη και απειθη, οστις δεν υπακουει εις την φωνην του πατρος αυτου η εις την φωνην της μητρος αυτου, και, αφου παιδευσωσιν αυτον, δεν υπακουη εις αυτους,

19 τοτε ο πατηρ αυτου και η μητηρ αυτου θελουσι πιασει αυτον, και θελουσιν εκφερει αυτον προς τους πρεσβυτερους της πολεως αυτου και εις την πυλην του τοπου αυτου·

20 και θελουσιν ειπει προς τους πρεσβυτερους της πολεως αυτου, Ουτος ο υιος ημων ειναι πεισματωδης και απειθης· δεν υπακουει εις την φωνην ημων· ειναι λαιμαργος και μεθυσος·

21 και παντες οι ανθρωποι της πολεως αυτου θελουσι λιθοβολησει αυτον με λιθους, και θελει αποθανει. Και θελεις εξαφανισει το κακον εκ μεσου σου· και πας ο Ισραηλ θελει ακουσει και φοβηθη.

22 Και εαν τις επραξεν αμαρτημα αξιον θανατου και καταδικασθη εις θανατον, και κρεμασης αυτον εις ξυλον,

23 δεν θελει μενει το σωμα αυτου ολην την νυκτα επι του ξυλου, αλλα θελεις εξαπαντος θαψει αυτον την αυτην ημεραν, διοτι ειναι κατηραμενος υπο του Θεου ο κρεμαμενος· δια να μη μολυνης την γην σου, την οποιαν Κυριος ο Θεος σου διδει εις σε κληρονομιαν.

775. "Every vessel of precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble." This symbolically means that these Roman Catholics no longer have these because they do not have any knowledge of the goods and truths in ecclesiastical affairs to which such things correspond.

This statement is similar to the ones explained in nos. 772, 773, and 774 above. The difference is that the valuables here are various forms of knowledge, which are the lowest ones in a person's natural mind. And because they differ in character owing to the essence that lies within them, they are called vessels of precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble. For vessels symbolize forms of knowledge, here forms of knowledge in ecclesiastical affairs. Because various forms of knowledge are the containing vessels of goodness and truth, they are like vessels containing oil or wine.

Forms of knowledge are also found in great variety, and their recipient vessel is the memory. They are of great variety because they contain the interior elements of a person. They are also introduced into the memory either by intellectual deliberation or by hearing or reading them, according to the varying perception then of the rational mind. All of these things are present in forms of knowledge, as is apparent when they are reproduced, which is the case when a person speaks or thinks.

[2] But we will briefly say what vessels of precious wood, bronze, iron and marble symbolize. A vessel of precious wood symbolizes something known as the result of rational goodness and truth. A vessel of bronze symbolizes something known as the result of natural goodness. A vessel of iron symbolizes something known as the result of natural truth. And a vessel of marble symbolizes something known as the result of an appearance of goodness and truth.

That wood symbolizes goodness may be seen just above in no. 774. That precious wood here symbolizes both rational goodness and rational truth is due to the fact that wood symbolizes goodness, and preciousness is predicated of truth. For one variety of goodness is symbolized by the wood of the olive tree, another by the wood of the cedar, of the fig tree, of the fir tree, of the poplar and of the oak.

A vessel of bronze and iron symbolizes something known as the result of natural goodness and truth, because all metals, such as gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, and lead, in the Word symbolize goods and truths. They symbolize because they correspond, and because they correspond they are also found in heaven. For everything in heaven is a correspondent form.

[3] However, this is not the place to confirm from the Word what each kind of metal symbolizes owing to its correspondence. We will cite only some passages to confirm that bronze symbolizes natural goodness, and iron, therefore, natural truth, as can be seen from the following: That the feet of the Son of Man looked like bronze, as though fired in a furnace (Revelation 1:15). That Daniel saw a man whose feet were like the gleam of burnished bronze (Daniel 10:5-6).

That the feet of cherubim were seen sparking as with the gleam of burnished bronze (Ezekiel 1:7). (Feet symbolize something natural, as may be seen in nos. 49, 468, 470, 510.) That an angel appears whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze (Ezekiel 40:3). And that the statue Nebuchadnezzar saw was as to its head golden, as to its breast and arms silver, as to its belly and sides bronze, and as to its legs iron (Daniel 2:32-33). The statue represented the successive states of the church which the ancients called the golden age, silver age, bronze age, and iron age.

Since bronze symbolizes something natural, and the Israelite people were purely natural, therefore the Lord's natural humanity was represented by the bronze serpent, which people bitten by serpents had only to look at to be cured (Numbers 21:6, 8-9).

That bronze symbolizes natural goodness may also be seen in Isaiah 60:17, Jeremiah 15:20-21, Ezekiel 27:13, Deuteronomy 8:7, 9, 33:24-25
