1 Jestliže by kdo ukradl vola aneb dobytče, a zabil by je neb prodal: pět volů navrátí za toho vola, a čtvero dobytčat za to dobytče.

2 (Jestliže by zloděj zastižen byl při podkopávání a ubit jsa, umřel by: ten, kdo ho ranil, nebude vinen smrtí.

3 Pakli by to ve dne učinil, smrtí vinen bude.) Bez prodlévání ať navrátí; pakli nemá co, prodán bude pro zlodějství své.

4 Jestliže nalezena bude v rukou jeho krádež, buď vůl, neb osel, buď dobytče ještě živé, dvénásobně navrátí.

5 Jestliže by kdo spásl pole neb vinici, a vpustil hovado své, aby se páslo na cizím poli: což nejlepšího má na poli svém neb vinici své, tím tu škodu nahradí.

6 Vyšel-li by oheň, a chytilo by se trní, a shořel by stoh neb stojaté obilí neb pole: nahradí ten, kdož zapálil, to, což shořelo.

7 Kdyby někdo dal schovati bližnímu svému peníze neb nádoby, a bylo by ukradeno z domu muže toho, jestliže nalezen bude zloděj, dvojnásobně navrátí.

8 Pakli nebude zloděj nalezen, tedy postaven bude pán domu toho před soudce, a přisáhne, že nevztáhl ruky své na věc bližního svého.

9 O všelijakou věc, o niž by byla nesnáz, buď o vola neb osla, dobytče neb roucho, pro všelikou věc ztracenou, když by kdo pravil, že to jest: před soudce přijde pře obou dvou; ten, kohož oni vinného usoudí, dvojnásobně navrátí bližnímu svému.

10 Jestliže by kdo dal bližnímu svému k chování osla neb vola, neb dobytče a jakékoli hovado, a umřelo by neb ochromělo, neb zajato bylo, že žádný neviděl:

11 Přísaha Hospodinova vkročí mezi oba, že nevztáhl ruky své k věci bližního svého; a přijme jej v tom pán věci té, a onen nebude povinen navraceti.

12 Pakli by krádeží vzato bylo od něho, navrátiti zase má pánu jeho.

13 Pakli by udáveno bylo, postaví svědka a nebude povinen upláceti toho, což udáveno jest.

14 Kdyby pak někdo vypůjčil něčeho od bližního svého, a ochromělo by aneb umřelo v nepřítomnosti pána jeho, bez výmluvy navrátí zase.

15 Pakli by pán jeho byl s ním, není povinen platiti, poněvadž bylo za peníze najaté, a přišlo za mzdu svou.

16 Jestliže by kdo namluvil pannu, kteráž není zasnoubena, a spal by s ní: dáť jí věno, a vezme ji sobě za manželku.

17 Pakli by otec její nikoli nechtěl jí dáti jemu, odváží stříbra podlé obyčeje věna panenského.

18 Čarodějnici nedáš živu býti.

19 Kdo by koli scházel se s hovadem, smrtí ať umře.

20 Kdo by obětoval bohům, kromě samému Hospodinu, jako proklatý vyhlazen bude.

21 Příchozímu neučiníš křivdy, aniž utiskneš ho; nebo příchozí byli jste v zemi Egyptské.

22 Žádné vdovy neb sirotka trápiti nebudete.

23 Pakli bez lítosti trápiti je budete, a oni by volali ke mně, vězte, že vyslyším křik jejich.

24 A rozhněvá se prchlivost má, i zbiji vás mečem; a budou ženy vaše vdovy a děti vaši sirotci.

25 Půjčíš-li peněz lidu mému chudému, kterýž jest s tebou: nebudeš jemu jako lichevník, aniž ho lichvou obtížíš.

26 Pakli v základu vezmeš roucho bližního svého, do západu slunce jemu je navrátíš.

27 Nebo ten jediný má oděv, to jest roucho, jímž přikrývá tělo své, a na němž spí. Když bude volati ke mně, tedy uslyším, nebo jsem milosrdný.

28 Soudcům nebudeš utrhati, a knížeti lidu svého zlořečiti nebudeš.

29 Z hojnosti obilí, a tekutých věcí svých neobmeškáš prvotin obětovati. Prvorozeného z synů svých mně dáš.

30 Tak učiníš s volem svým a s dobytkem svým: Sedm dní bude s matkou svou, dne pak osmého mně je dáš.

31 Lid svatý budete mi, a nebudete jísti masa z udáveného na poli; psu je vržete.

Apocalypse Explained#865

865. These were redeemed from among men, being the first-fruits unto God and unto the Lamb. That this signifies those in the New Church who are received by the Lord, is evident from the signification of those who are redeemed by the Lord, as denoting those who receive instruction from the Word, especially respecting the Lord, and who live according to it; respecting which see above (n. 860). These are also called the redeemed of the Lord; and these are the redeemed who are regenerated by the Lord; and these are they who follow the Lord, that is, are led by Him, of whom we have just treated above. And the same appears from the signification of the first-fruits of God and the Lamb, as denoting those who have given themselves to the Lord, and are adopted by Him. That these are those who belong to the New Church, is evident from this consideration, that they are called the first-fruits to God and to the Lamb. For those who are received therein, acknowledge the Lord's Divine Human, and live according to His precepts. No others, are received in the New Church, called the New Jerusalem, because those who do not believe it, and so live, are not in agreement with the life of heaven, neither with the light there, nor with the heat; for the light there is Divine truth, from which come all intelligence and wisdom; and the heat there is Divine good, from which come all love and charity. All man's affection and thought therefrom is not only within him, and constitutes his life, but is also external to him, and constitutes the sphere of his life. This is why heaven is divided into societies according to the varieties of affections and thoughts therefrom. Unless therefore the affections and the thoughts therefrom are spiritual, and are formed solely from the acknowledgment of the Lord, and from a life according to His precepts, they cannot be admitted into any society of heaven, for they are repugnant thereto. This is the reason that those who do not acknowledge the Lord's Divine Human, and do not live according to His precepts in the Word, cannot be in association with the angels of heaven. That this is the case, has been made plain to me from much experience. There were some who had thought of the Lord only as of another man, and had lived in the faith of the present day, which is a faith of the thought merely, without any good of life. But because they believed that nothing more was necessary to life eternal than to be admitted into heaven, therefore, according to their wish, they were admitted into some society; but as soon as the light of heaven struck their eyes with its lustre, their sight and also their understanding began to be entirely obscured and became stupefied. And when the heat of heaven came upon them, they began to be tormented in a direful manner, and as to the head and limbs to writhe like serpents. Therefore they cast themselves downwards, swearing that to enter heaven was hell to them, unless they were in the light and heat of heaven; and that they did not know that every one has heaven from love and thence faith, or from a life according to the Lord's precepts in the Word, and from faith in the Lord, and not in any way from faith without the life of faith, which is charity.

[2] It shall now be stated in a few words what first-fruits in the Word signify. They signify the same as the first-begotten; but the latter term is used of animals, and first-fruits of vegetables. Thus the first-begotten are what are born first, and first-fruits are from the first things produced; and both signify the spiritual good first formed, which is essentially truth from good from the Lord. The origin of this is as follows. There are two minds in man, natural and spiritual. From the natural mind alone nothing but evil is produced, and the falsity therefrom; but as soon as the spiritual mind is opened, then good is produced, and the truth therefrom; this which is first produced is meant by the first-begotten and by the first-fruits. Now because nothing born and produced from the spiritual mind is from man but from the Lord, therefore those things were sanctified to Jehovah, that is, to the Lord, because they were His, and consequently holy. And because that which is born or produced first, signifies all the things that follow in a series - as a leader the people, and a shepherd the flock - therefore by the first-begotten and the first-fruits being given to the Lord was signified that all other things were also His.

[3] But in order that this may be more clearly understood, it must be known, that the merely natural mind is formed according to the idea or image of the world, but the spiritual mind according to the idea or image of heaven; and that the spiritual mind is opened to no one, except by the acknowledgment of the Divine of the Lord, and by a life according to His precepts; and that previous to this, no good and truth are produced. But as soon as the spiritual mind is opened, then they are produced therefrom from the Lord. Therefore the first that is produced is called holy, and signifies that all things afterwards produced are also holy. From these things, it is evident that the opening of the womb or matrix signifies the opening of the spiritual mind. That this is the signification is seen also from correspondence; for the womb corresponds to the good of celestial love; concerning which correspondence see above (n. 710), and in the Arcana Coelestia 4918, 5050-5062).

[4] Since the things now mentioned were signified by the first-fruits; and since the things of harvest, as wheat, barley, and the rest, signified the goods and truths of heaven and the church; also wool, and the clean and useful beasts, therefore, of the latter the first-begotten were given to the Lord, and of the former the first-fruits. And because the high priest represented the Lord as to His priesthood, which is the good of love, therefore they were given to that priest. And consequently everything produced from corn, wine, and oil was sanctified.

But concerning those first-fruits, see the statutes for the sons of Israel in the law of Moses; as, for example, the first of the fruits of all the corn, oil, wine, and the fruit of the tree; also of the fleece, and the first-begotten of the flock and the herd; and that they were given as holy to Jehovah, and by Jehovah to Aaron, and after him to the high priest.

(Exodus 22:29; Numbers 13:20; 15:17-22; 18:8-20; Deuteronomy 18:4; 26:1, to the end).

And concerning the feast of the first-fruits of harvest, and of the first-fruits of bread

(Exodus 23:14, 15, 16, 19, 26; Leviticus 23:9-15, 20-25 Numbers 28:26, to the end; and elsewhere).

From these things it is now evident, that by first-fruits to God and to the Lamb are meant those who will belong to the New Church, called the New Jerusalem, who acknowledge the Lord's Divine Human, and live a life of love, that is, a life according to the Lord's precepts in the Word. For in the case of these and no others is the spiritual mind opened; no others, therefore, are led of the Lord, or follow Him whithersoever He goeth.

That by God and the Lamb in the Apocalypse, is meant the Lord as to the Divine itself, and at the same time as to the Divine Human, may be seen above (n. 297, 314, 343, 460, 482).
