学习

   

1 牛或,无论是宰了,是了,他就要以五牛赔一牛,赔一

2 人若遇见挖窟窿,把打了,以至於,就不能为他有流血的罪。

3 太阳已经出来,就为他有流血的罪。贼若被拿,总要赔还。若他一无所有,就要被,顶他所偷的物。

4 若他所偷的,或牛,或,或羊,仍在他下存活,他就要加倍赔还。

5 若在田间或在葡萄园里放牲畜,任凭牲畜上别的田里去吃,就必拿自己田间上好的和葡萄园上好的赔还。

6 若点焚烧荆棘,以致将别人堆积的禾捆,站着的禾稼,或是田园,都烧尽了,那点的必要赔还。

7 若将或家具交付邻舍看守,这物从那的家被去,若把到了,要加倍赔还;

8 不到,那家主必就近审判官,要看看他拿了原主的物件没有。

9 两个人的案件,无论是为甚麽过犯,或是为牛,为,为羊,为衣裳,或是为甚麽失掉之物,有一人:这是我的,两造就要将案件禀告审判官,审判官定谁有罪,谁就要加倍赔还。

10 若将,或牛,或羊,或别的牲畜,交付邻舍守,牲畜,或受伤,或被赶去,无见,

11 那看守的人要凭着耶和华起誓,里未曾拿邻舍的物,本就要罢休,看守的人不必赔还。

12 牲畜若从看守的那里被去,他就要赔还本主;

13 若被野兽撕碎,看守的要带来当作证据,所撕的不必赔还。

14 若向邻舍甚麽,所的或受伤,或,本主没有同在一处,总要赔还;

15 若本主同在一处,他就不必赔还;若是雇的,也不必赔还,本是为雇价的。

16 若引诱没有受聘的处女,与他行淫,他总要交出聘礼,娶他为妻。

17 若女子的父亲决不肯将女子他,他就要按处女的聘礼,交出来。

18 行邪术的女人,不可容他存活。

19 凡与淫合的,总要把他治

20 祭祀别,不单单祭祀耶和华的,那人必要灭绝。

21 不可亏负寄居的,也不可欺压他,因为你们在埃及也作过寄居的。

22 不可苦待寡妇和孤儿

23 若是苦待他们一点,他们向我一哀求,我总要他们的哀声,

24 并要发烈怒,用刀杀你们,使你们的妻子为寡妇,儿女为孤儿

25 我民中有贫穷人与你同住,你若给他,不可如放债的向他取利。

26 你即或拿邻舍的衣服作当头,必在日落以先归还他;

27 因他只有这一件当盖头,是他盖身的衣服,若是没有,他拿甚麽睡觉呢?他哀求我,我就应允,因为我是有恩惠的。

28 不可毁谤;也不可毁谤你百姓的官长。

29 你要从你庄稼中的谷和酒瓶中滴出来的酒拿来献上,不可迟延。你要将头生的儿子归我。

30 你牛头生的,也要这样;当跟着母,第八要归我。

31 你要在我面前为圣洁的人。因此,田间被野兽撕裂牲畜的,你们不可,要丢给

9208. Verses 25-27 If you lend silver to My people, to the needy one with you, you shall not be like a money-lender to him; you shall not charge him interest. If you ever take your companion's clothing as a pledge you shall restore it to him even at the going in of the sun. For this is his only covering; it is his clothing for his skin, in which he may sleep; and it shall be, when he cries out to Me, that I shall hear, for I am merciful.

'If you lend silver to My people, to the needy one with you' means giving instruction to those who have no knowledge of truth and still have a desire to learn it. 'You shall not be like a money-lender' means that it must be done in a spirit of charity. 'You shall not charge him interest' means that therefore it must not be done for the sake of gain to be acquired from it. 'If you ever take your companion's clothing as a pledge' means if factual knowledge of truth is dispersed by illusions that are a product of sensory impressions. 'You shall restore it to him even at the going in of the sun' means that it is to be restored before the arrival of a state of shade induced by delights belonging to external kinds of love. 'For this is his only covering' means because sensory impressions lie on a level below more internal things. 'It is his clothing for his skin' means that they also clothe relatively external things. 'In which he may sleep' means resting on them. 'When he cries out to Me' means pleading to the Lord. 'I shall hear' means help. 'For I am merciful' means that such help comes wholly from Him, out of mercy.
