Левит 19

Дослідження

   

1 И сказал Господь Моисею, говоря:

2 объяви всему обществу сынов Израилевых и скажи им: святы будьте,ибо свят Я Господь, Бог ваш.

3 Бойтесь каждый матери своей и отца своего и субботы Мои храните. ЯГосподь, Бог ваш.

4 Не обращайтесь к идолам и богов литых не делайте себе. Я Господь,Бог ваш.

5 Когда будете приносить Господу жертву мирную, топриносите ее, чтобы приобрести себе благоволение:

6 в день жертвоприношения вашего и на другой день должно есть ее, а оставшееся к третьему дню должно сжечь на огне;

7 если же кто станет есть ее на третий день, это гнусно, это не будет благоприятно;

8 кто станет есть ее, тот понесет на себе грех, ибо оносквернил святыню Господню, и истребится душа та из народа своего.

9 Когда будете жать жатву на земле вашей, не дожинай до края поля твоего, и оставшегося от жатвы твоей не подбирай,

10 и виноградника твоего не обирай дочиста, и попадавших ягод в винограднике не подбирай; оставь это бедному и пришельцу. Я Господь, Бог ваш.

11 Не крадите, не лгите и не обманывайте друг друга.

12 Не клянитесь именем Моим во лжи, и не бесчести имени Бога твоего.Я Господь.

13 Не обижай ближнего твоего и не грабительствуй. Плата наемнику не должна оставаться у тебя до утра.

14 Не злословь глухого и пред слепым не клади ничего, чтобы преткнуться ему; бойся Бога твоего. Я Господь.

15 Не делайте неправды на суде; не будь лицеприятен к нищему и неугождай лицу великого; по правде суди ближнего твоего.

16 Не ходи переносчиком в народе твоем и не восставай на жизнь ближнего твоего. Я Господь.

17 Не враждуй на брата твоего в сердце твоем; обличи ближнего твоего, и не понесешь за него греха.

18 Не мсти и не имей злобы на сынов народа твоего, но люби ближнего твоего, как самого себя. Я Господь.

19 Уставы Мои соблюдайте; скота твоего не своди с иною породою; поля твоего не засевай двумя родами семян ; в одежду изразнородных нитей, из шерсти и льна, не одевайся.

20 Если кто переспит с женщиною, а она раба, обрученная мужу, но еще не выкупленная, или свобода еще не дана ей, то должно наказать их, но не смертью, потому что она несвободная:

21 пусть приведет он Господу ко входу скинии собрания жертву повинности, овна в жертву повинности своей;

22 и очистит его священник овном повинности пред Господом от греха,которым он согрешил, и прощен будет ему грех, которым он согрешил.

23 Когда придете в землю, которую Господь Бог даст вам , и посадите какое-либо плодовое дерево, то плоды его почитайте за необрезанные: три года должно почитать их за необрезанные, не должноесть их;

24 а в четвертый год все плоды его должны быть посвящены для празднеств Господних;

25 в пятый же год вы можете есть плоды его и собирать себе все произведения его. Я Господь, Бог ваш.

26 Не ешьте с кровью; не ворожите и не гадайте.

27 Не стригите головы вашей кругом, и не порти края бороды твоей.

28 Ради умершего не делайте нарезов на теле вашем и не накалывайтена себе письмен. Я Господь.

29 Не оскверняй дочери твоей, допуская ее до блуда,чтобы не блудодействовала земля и не наполнилась земля развратом.

30 Субботы Мои храните и святилище Мое чтите. Я Господь.

31 Не обращайтесь к вызывающим мертвых, и к волшебникам не ходите, и не доводите себя до осквернения от них. Я Господь, Бог ваш.

32 Пред лицем седого вставай и почитай лице старца, и бойся Бога твоего. Я Господь.

33 Когда поселится пришлец в земле вашей, не притесняйте его:

34 пришлец, поселившийся у вас, да будет для вас то же, что туземец ваш; люби его, как себя; ибо и вы былипришельцами в земле Египетской. Я Господь, Бог ваш.

35 Не делайте неправды в суде, в мере, в весе и в измерении:

36 да будут у вас весы верные, гири верные, ефа верная и гин верный.Я Господь, Бог ваш, Который вывел вас из земли Египетской.

37 Соблюдайте все уставы Мои и все законы Мои и исполняйте их. Я Господь.

6524. 'The elders of his house' means the things that would accord with good. This is clear from the meaning of 'the elders' as the chief characteristics of wisdom, thus things that accord with good, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'house' as good, dealt with in 2559, 3652, 3720, 4982. The reason why 'elders' means the chief characteristics of wisdom is that in the Word 'old people' means those who are wise, and - in a sense detached from persons - wisdom. Since 'the twelve tribes of Israel' meant all truths and forms of good in their entirety, they had princes and also elders set over them. 'Princes' meant the leading truths constituting intelligence, and 'elders' the chief characteristics of wisdom, thus those of good.

[2] For the meaning of 'princes' as the leading truths constituting intelligence, see 1482, 2089, 5044. But as regards the meaning of 'elders' as the chief characteristics of wisdom, and of 'old people' as wisdom, this is evident from the following places: In David,

They will extol Jehovah in the congregation of the people, and in the assembly of the old they will praise Him. Psalms 107:32.

'The congregation of the people' stands for those who are ruled by truths constituting intelligence, since 'congregation' is used with reference to truths, 6355, as also is 'people', 1259, 1260, 2928, 3295, 3581; 'the assembly of the old' stands for those who are ruled by good, which belongs to wisdom since wisdom is concerned with life, thus with what is good, whereas intelligence is concerned with knowing, thus with what is true, 1555. In the same author,

I am wiser than the old, because I have kept Your commands. Psalms 119:100.

'The old' plainly stands for one who is wise. Likewise in Job,

In the old there is wisdom, in length of days intelligence. Job 12:12.

In Moses,

You shall rise before grey hair and respect the face of an old person. Leviticus 19:32.

This command was given because 'old people' represented wisdom.

[3] In John,

On the thrones I saw twenty-four elders seated, clad in white garments, who had on their heads crowns of gold. Revelation 4:4.

'Elders' stands for aspects of wisdom, thus of good. That these are meant by the elders is evident from the description of the elders - they sat on thrones, were clad in white garments, and had crowns of gold on their heads. 'Thrones' are truths constituting intelligence which are derived from good belonging to wisdom, 5313. 'White garments' has a similar meaning, 'garments' being truths, 1073, 4545, 4763, 5248, 5954, and 'white' that which has reference to truth, 3301, 5319. 'Crowns of gold on their heads' are forms of the good of wisdom; for 'gold' is the good of love, 113, 1551, 1552, 5658, and 'head' is the celestial, the seat of wisdom, 4938, 4939, 5328, 6436. Those who are in the third or inmost heaven, thus who are nearest the Lord, are called the wise, whereas those in the middle or second heaven, thus who are not as near the Lord, are called intelligent.

[4] In the same book,

All the angels stood around the throne, and the elders, and the four living creatures. Revelation 7:11.

Again 'the elders' stands for aspects of wisdom, as it does in the following places: In Isaiah,

The boy will uplift himself against the old man, and the despised against the honourable. Isaiah 7:5.

In the same prophet,

Jehovah Zebaoth will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before His elders, glory. Isaiah 24:23.

In Jeremiah,

My priests and my elders breathed their last in the city, for they sought food for themselves, with which they would renew their soul. Lamentations 1:19.

In the same prophet,

Her king and her princes are among the nations; the law is no more. The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground, they become silent. Lamentations 2:9-10.

In the same prophet,

They have ravished women in Zion, virgins in the cities of Judah. Princes have been hung up by their hands, the faces of the old men have not been honoured, the elders have ceased from the gate. Lamentations 5:11-12, 14.

In Ezekiel,

Misery will come upon misery, and rumour will be upon rumour. Therefore they will seek a vision from the prophet, but the law has perished from the priest, and counsel from the elders. The king will mourn, and the prince will be wrapped in stupidity. Ezekiel 7:26-27.

In Zechariah,

Old men and women will again dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and each one with his staff in his hand because of great age. 1 Zechariah 8:4.

So that 'the elders' might represent things that constitute wisdom, some of Moses' spirit was taken and imparted to them, by which they prophesied, Numbers 11:16 and following verses.

In the contrary sense 'elders' stands for the things that are the opposites of the aspects of wisdom, Ezekiel 8:11-12.

2928. 'To the people of the land, to the sons of Heth' means by those who belonged to the [new] spiritual Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'the people' as those who are governed by truths, and so those who are spiritual, dealt with in 1259, 1260; from the meaning of 'the land' as the Church dealt with in 662, 1066, 1068, 1262, 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118 (end); and from the meaning of 'the sons of Heth' as those who belonged to the new spiritual Church, dealt with above in 2913. The expression 'the people of the land' is used in various places in the Word when the subject is Israel and Jerusalem, and by those people is meant in the internal sense the spiritual Church or those who belong to the spiritual Church, for Israel and Jerusalem are used to mean that Church. When Judah and Zion are the subject however the expression 'the nation' is used. 'The nation' means the celestial Church, for Judah and Zion are used to mean that Church.

[2] That the expression 'the people of the land' is used when Israel and Jerusalem, and so when the spiritual Church are the subject, is clear from many places in the Word, as in Ezekiel,

Say to the people of the land, Thus says the Lord Jehovih to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to the land of Israel, They will eat their bread in sorrow, and drink their waters in vastation, that her land may be devastated. The inhabited cities will be vastated and the land made desolate. Ezekiel 12:19-20.

Here in the internal sense 'Jerusalem' and 'the land of Israel' stand for the spiritual Church, 'bread' and 'waters' for charity and faith, or good and truth. 'The land' stands for the Church itself which as regards good is said to be 'vastated' and as regards truth to be 'made desolate'.

[3] In the same prophet,

The house of Israel will bury Gog and his multitude so that they will cleanse the land in seven months, and all the people of the land will bury them. Ezekiel 39:11-13.

'Gog' stands for external worship separated from internal, which is idolatrous, 1151. 'The house of Israel' stands for the spiritual Church as regards good, 'the people of the land' as regards truth, 'the land' for the Church itself. The reason 'the land' is the Church is that 'the land of Canaan' represented the Lord's kingdom and so the Church, since the Lord's kingdom on earth is the Church.

[4] In the same prophet,

All the people of the land will give 1 this thruma (oblation) to the prince of Israel. And the prince will prepare for himself on that day, and for all the people of the land a young bull for a sin offering. The people of the land will bow down at the door of the gate on the sabbaths and at new moons. And the people of the land will enter at the appointed feasts. Ezekiel 45:16, 22; 46:3, 9.

This refers to the New Jerusalem, that is, to the Lord's spiritual kingdom, whose subjects are here called 'the people of the land'. 'The prince' is Divine truth coming from the Lord. The expression 'the sons of Heth' is used because 'sons' means truths, see 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2623.

[5] The reason why truths are attributable to those who are spiritual is that these people are introduced to good by way of truths, that is, to charity by way of faith. And because the good they do is done from an affection for truth - for they do not know otherwise than that it is good because they have been taught that it is - their conscience too is founded on these truths of faith, see 1155, 1577, 2046, 2088, 2184, 2507, 2715, 2716, 2718.
