学习

   

1 Tito jsou pak soudové, kteréž jim předložíš:

2 Jestliže koupíš k službě Žida, šest let sloužiti bude, a sedmého odejde svobodný darmo.

3 Přišel-li by sám toliko, sám také odejde; pakli měl ženu, vyjde s ním i žena jeho.

4 Jestliže pán jeho dá mu ženu, a ona zrodí jemu syny neb dcery: žena ta i děti její budou pána jeho, on pak sám toliko odejde.

5 Pakli by řekl služebník: Miluji pána svého, manželku svou a syny své, nevyjdu svobodný:

6 Tedy postaví ho pán jeho před soudci, a přivede ho ke dveřím neb k veřeji,a probodne pán jeho ucho jemu špicí; i zůstaneť služebníkem jeho na věky.

7 Když by pak prodal někdo dceru svou, aby byla děvkou, nevyjdeť tak, jako vycházejí služebníci.

8 Nelíbila-li by se pánu svému, kterýž jí sobě ještě nezasnoubil, dopustí ji vyplatiti. Lidu cizímu nebude míti práva prodati ji, poněvadž zhřešil proti ní.

9 Pakli by synu svému ji zasnoubil, učiníť jí tak, jakž obyčej jest činiti dcerám.

10 A dal-li by mu jinou, z stravy její, oděvu jejího, a přívětivosti manželské nic této neujme.

11 Neudělal-li by nic z toho trojího, vyjde darmo bez stříbra.

12 Kdo by ubil člověka, až by od toho umřel, smrtí umře.

13 Když by pak neukládal o bezživotí jeho, než Bůh dal by jej v ruce jeho: tedy uložím tobě místo, do něhož by takový mohl uteci.

14 Pakli by kdo tak pyšně sobě počínal proti bližnímu svému, že by ho lstivě zabil, i od oltáře mého odtrhneš jej, aby umřel.

15 Kdo by otce svého neb matku svou bil, smrtí ať umře.

16 Kdo by pak, ukradna někoho, prodal jej, a nalezen by byl v ruce jeho, smrtí ať umře.

17 I ten, kdož by zlořečil otci svému neb mateři své, smrtí ať umře.

18 Když by se svadili muži, a urazil by který bližního svého kamenem neb pěstí, a ten by neumřel, než složil se na lůži;

19 A potom by povstal a chodil vně o holi své: již nebude vinen ten, kdož urazil; toliko co zatím obmeškal, to jemu nahradí, a na vyhojení jeho naloží.

20 Když by pak ubil kdo služebníka svého neb děvku svou kyjem, tak že by umřel mu v ruce jeho: pomstou pomštěno bude nad takovým.

21 A však jestliže by den neb dva přečkal, neponese pomsty, nebo jej zaplatil.

22 Když by se svadili muži, a urazili ženu těhotnou, tak že by vyšel z ní plod její, však by se zhouba nestala: pokutován bude, jakž by uložil naň muž té ženy, a dá vedlé uznání soudců.

23 Pakliť by smrt přišla, tedy dáš život za život,

24 Oko za Oko, zub za zub, ruku za ruku, nohu za nohu,

25 Spáleninu za spáleninu, ránu za ránu, modřinu za modřinu.

26 Jestliže by kdo urazil služebníka svého v oko, aneb děvku svou v oko, tak že by jej o ně připravil: svobodného jej propustí za oko jeho.

27 Pakli by zub služebníku svému neb zub děvce své vyrazil, svobodného jej propustí za zub jeho.

28 Jestliže by vůl utrkl muže neb ženu, tak že by umřel člověk: ukamenován bude ten vůl, aniž jedeno bude maso jeho, však pán vola toho bez viny bude.

29 Než byl-liť by vůl trkavý prvé, a bylo by to osvědčeno pánu jeho, on pak nezavřel by ho, a v tom zabil by muže neb ženu: vůl ten ukamenován bude, a pán jeho také umře.

30 Pakliť mu bude uloženo, aby se vyplatil: tedy dá výplatu za život svůj, jakážkoli na něj uložena bude.

31 Buď že by syna utrkl, buď dceru, podlé soudu toho stane se jemu.

32 Jestliže by služebníka vůl ztrkal neb děvku, třidceti lotů stříbra dá pánu jeho, a vůl ten bude ukamenován.

33 Kdyby kdo odhradil studnici, a neb vykopal někdo studnici, a zase jí nepřikryl, a vpadl by tam vůl neb osel:

34 Pán té studnice nahradí to, a peníze položí pánu jeho, a což se zabilo, to sobě míti bude.

35 A ustrčil-li by vůl něčí vola sousedova, že byl umřel: tedy prodadí vola toho živého, a podělí se penězi jeho; i s zabitým volem také se rozdělí.

36 Pakli vědíno bylo, že vůl byl trkavý prvé, a nezavřel ho pán jeho: bez výmluvy ať dá vola za vola, a zabitý ať mu zůstane.

Apocalypse Explained#946

学习本章节

  
/1232  
  

946. Because thy judgments have been made manifest. That this signifies that Divine truths are revealed to them, is evident from the signification of judgments, as denoting Divine truths, of which we shall speak presently; and from the signification of being manifested, as denoting to be revealed. That Divine truths are revealed at the end of the church, and that they have been revealed, will be shown in what follows in this chapter, because the subject there treated of is concerning them.

The reason why judgments signify Divine truths is, that the laws of government in the Lord's spiritual kingdom are called judgments; but the laws of government in the Lord's celestial kingdom are called justice. For the laws of government in the Lord's spiritual kingdom are laws from Divine truth, whereas the laws of government in the Lord's celestial kingdom are laws from Divine Good. This is why judgment and justice are mentioned in the following passages in the Word.

In Isaiah:

"There shall be no end to peace upon the throne of David, to establish it, and to uphold it in judgment and justice from now and for ever" (9:7).

This speaks of the Lord and His kingdom. His spiritual kingdom is signified by the throne of David; and because this kingdom is in Divine truths from the Divine Good, it is said, in "judgment and justice."

In Jeremiah:

"I will raise up to David a just shoot, and he shall reign a king, and he shall act intelligently, and shall execute judgment and justice" (23:5).

These words also are spoken of the Lord, and of His spiritual kingdom. And since this kingdom is in Divine truths from the Divine Good, it is said that He shall reign a King, and shall act intelligently, and that He shall execute judgment and justice. The Lord is called King from Divine truth. And whereas Divine truth is also Divine intelligence, it is said that He shall act intelligently. And because Divine truth is from the Divine Good, it is said that He shall execute judgment and justice.

[2] In Isaiah:

"Jehovah shall be exalted; for he dwelleth on high; he hath filled Zion with judgment and justice" (33:5).

By Zion is meant heaven and the church, where the Lord reigns by Divine truth. And because all Divine truth is from Divine Good, it is said, "He hath filled Zion with judgment and justice."

In Jeremiah:

"I Jehovah, doing justice and judgment in the earth; for in these I am well pleased" (9:24).

Here also by judgment and justice is signified Divine truth from the Divine Good.

In Isaiah:

"They shall ask of me the judgments of justice; they shall desire to draw near unto God" (58:2).

The judgments of justice are Divine truths from the Divine Good. Similarly judgment and justice; for the spiritual sense conjoins those things the sense of the letter separates.

In Hosea:

"I will betroth thee to me for ever; and I will betroth thee to me in justice and judgment, and in mercy and in truth" (2:19, 20).

The subject there treated of is the celestial kingdom of the Lord, which consists of those who are in love to the Lord. And because the Lord's conjunction with them is comparatively like the conjunction of a husband with a wife - for the good of love so conjoins - therefore it is said, I will betroth thee to me in justice and judgment. And justice is mentioned in the first place, and judgment in the second, because those who are in the good of love to the Lord are also in truths; for they see them from good. Because justice is said of good, and judgment of truth, therefore it is also said, in mercy and in truth; mercy being also said of good, because it is of love.

[3] In David:

"Jehovah is in the heavens; thy justice as the mountains of God, and thy judgments as a great abyss" (Psalm 36:5, 6).

Justice is said of Divine Good, therefore it is compared to the mountains of God; for by mountains of God are signified the goods of love; see above (n. 405, 510, 850). And judgments are said of Divine truths, therefore they are compared to a great abyss; for by a great abyss is signified Divine truth. From these things it is now evident that by judgments are signified Divine truths.

[4] In many passages in the Word, judgments, precepts, and statutes are mentioned. And by judgments are there signified civil laws; by precepts the laws of spiritual life; and by statutes the laws of worship. That by judgments are signified civil laws, is clear from Exodus (Exodus 21, 22, 23), where the things that are there commanded are called judgments; because from them judgments were given by judges in the gates of the city. But still they signify Divine truths, such as are in the Lord's spiritual kingdom in the heavens, for they contain them in the spiritual sense, as is evident from the explanation in Arcana Coelestia (n. 8971-9103, 9124-9231, 9247-9348).

That the laws with the sons of Israel were called judgments, precepts, and statutes, is clear from the following passages:-

In Moses:

"I will speak unto thee all the precepts, the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them" (Deuteronomy 5:31).

In the same:

"These are the precepts, the statutes, and the judgments, which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you" (Deuteronomy 6:1).

In the same:

"Therefore, thou shalt keep the precepts, the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them" (Deuteronomy 7:11).

In David:

"If his sons forsake my law and walk not in my judgments; if they profane my statutes, and keep not my precepts, I will visit their prevarication with a rod" (Psalm 89:30-32),

besides frequently elsewhere:

As Leviticus 18:5; 19:37; 20:22; 25:18; 26:15; Deuteronomy 4:1; 5:1, 6, 7; 17:19; 26:17; Ezekiel 5:6, 7; 11:12, 20; 18:9; 20:11, 13, 25; 37:24.

By precepts in these passages are meant the laws of life, especially those in the Decalogue, which are therefore called the Ten Precepts. But by the statutes are meant the laws of worship, which principally related to sacrifices, and the ministry of holy things. And by judgments are meant civil laws, which, because representative of spiritual laws, were therefore significative of Divine truths, such as those in the Lord's spiritual kingdom in the heavens.

Continuation:-

[5] When, therefore, a man shuns and turns away from evils as sins, and is raised into heaven by the Lord, it follows that he is no longer in his proprium, but in the Lord, and that consequently he thinks and wills goods. Now because a man thinks and wills, so also does he act; for every action of a man proceeds from the thought of his will, therefore again it follows, that when a man shuns and turns away from evils, he does goods, not from himself, but from the Lord. Therefore to shun evils is to do goods. The goods which a man then does are meant by good works; and good works in their whole extent are meant by charity.

Because a man cannot be reformed unless he thinks, wills, and acts as of himself, that which he does as of himself is conjoined to him, and remains with him. Because that which a man does as of himself receives no life, but flows through like ether, therefore the Lord wills that a man should not only shun and turn away from evils as of himself, but should also think, will, and act as of himself, yet still acknowledge in heart, that all these things are from the Lord. This he will acknowledge because it is the truth.
