Exodus第20章

1 Ja Jumal kõneles kõik need sõnad, öeldes:

2 'Mina olen Issand, sinu Jumal, kes sind tõi välja Egiptusemaalt, orjusekojast.

3 Sul ei tohi olla muid jumalaid minu palge kõrval!

4 Sa ei tohi enesele teha kuju ega mingisugust pilti sellest, mis on ülal taevas, ega sellest, mis on all maa peal, ega sellest, mis on maa all vees!

5 Sa ei tohi neid kummardada ega neid teenida, sest mina, Issand, sinu Jumal, olen püha vihaga Jumal, kes vanemate süü nuhtleb laste kätte kolmanda ja neljanda põlveni neile, kes mind vihkavad,

6 aga kes heldust osutab tuhandeile neile, kes mind armastavad ja mu käske peavad!

7 Sa ei tohi Issanda, oma Jumala nime asjata suhu võtta, sest Issand ei jäta seda nuhtlemata, kes tema nime asjata suhu võtab!

8 Pea meeles, et sa pead hingamispäeva pühitsema!

9 Kuus päeva tee tööd ja toimeta kõiki oma talitusi,

10 aga seitsmes päev on Issanda, sinu Jumala hingamispäev. Siis sa ei tohi toimetada ühtegi talitust, ei sa ise ega su poeg ja tütar, ega su sulane ja teenija, ega su veoloom ega võõras, kes su väravais on!

11 Sest kuue päevaga tegi Issand taeva ja maa, mere ja kõik, mis neis on, ja ta hingas seitsmendal päeval: seepärast Issand õnnistas hingamispäeva ja pühitses selle.

12 Sa pead oma isa ja ema austama, et su elupäevi pikendataks sellel maal, mille Issand, su Jumal, sulle annab!

13 Sa ei tohi tappa!

14 Sa ei tohi abielu rikkuda!

15 Sa ei tohi varastada!

16 Sa ei tohi tunnistada oma ligimese vastu valetunnistajana!

17 Sa ei tohi himustada oma ligimese koda! Sa ei tohi himustada oma ligimese naist, sulast ega teenijat, härga ega eeslit ega midagi, mis su ligimese päralt on!'

18 Ja kogu rahvas kuulis ja nägi müristamist, tuleleeke, sarvehäält ja mäe suitsemist. Kui rahvas seda nägi, siis ta vabises ja jäi eemale seisma.

19 Ja nad ütlesid Moosesele: 'Räägi sina meiega, siis me kuulame! Ainult ärgu Jumal meiega rääkigu, et me ei sureks!'

20 Aga Mooses vastas rahvale: 'Ärge kartke, sest Jumal on tulnud teid katsuma, et teil oleks tema kartus silme ees, selleks et te pattu ei teeks!'

21 Ja rahvas püsis eemal; aga Mooses ligines pimedusele, kus oli Jumal.

22 Ja Issand ütles Moosesele: 'Ütle Iisraeli lastele nõnda: Te nägite, et ma taevast teiega rääkisin.

23 Minu kõrvale ei tohi te midagi teha: te ei tohi enestele teha hõbe- ja kuldjumalaid!

24 Tee mulle mullast altar ja ohverda selle peal oma põletus- ja tänuohvreid, oma lambaid, kitsi ja veiseid! Kõigis paigus, kus ma käsin oma nime kuulutada, tulen ma sinu juurde ja õnnistan sind.

25 Aga kui sa teed mulle kivialtari, siis ära ehita seda tahutud kividest, sest peitliga raiudes sa rüvetad selle!

26 Ja ära astu mu altari juurde üles astmeid mööda, et su ihu selle ees ei paljastuks!

9024. 'And when men quarrel' means contention among them regarding truths. This is clear from the meaning of 'quarrelling' as contending, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'men' as those who have intelligence and are guided by truths, and in the abstract sense intellectual concepts, and truths, dealt with in 3134, 9007. Consequently 'quarrelling by men' means contention regarding truths that takes place among those belonging to the Church, and in the abstract sense such contention taking place within oneself. For in the spiritual sense 'quarrelling' is contention regarding such things as are the concern of the Church, therefore regarding matters of faith. Nothing other than this is meant in the Word by 'quarrelling', because the Word is spiritual and deals with spiritual matters, that is, with those which have to do with the Lord, His kingdom in heaven, and His kingdom on earth, which is the Church. The fact that 'quarrelling' in the Word means contention regarding truths, and in general contention in support of truths against falsities, as well as defence against and deliverance from falsities, is evident from the following places:

[2] In Jeremiah,

A clamour is coming even to the end of the earth, because Jehovah's quarrel is against the nations. Judgement will come in with all flesh; He will hand the wicked over to the sword. Behold, evil will go out from nation to nation, and a great tempest will be raised up from the sides of the earth. Jeremiah 25:31-32.

In these prophetic statements a perverted state of the Church is described. 'A clamour' is contention in support of falsities against truths and in support of evils against forms of good, 'the earth' being the Church. 'Jehovah's quarrel is against the nations' is contention by the Lord in support of truths against falsities, and in support of forms of good against evils, thus also defence, 'the nations' being falsities and evils. 'The sword' is falsity engaged in conflict and conquering, 'a great tempest' is falsity reigning, and 'the sides of the earth' are the place where falsities arising from evil burst out.

[3] In the same prophet,

Jehovah will act for them in their quarrel 1 , that He may give rest to the land. Jeremiah 50:34.

'Acting for them in their quarrel' stands for defending truths against falsities and delivering, 'the land' standing for the Church, which has 'rest' when it is governed by good and consequently guided by truths. In the same prophet,

O Lord, You have acted for my soul in its quarrels, 2 You have delivered my life. Lamentations 3:58.

'Acting for the soul in its quarrels' stands for defending and delivering from falsities. In David,

Act for me in my a, quarrel 3 and redeem me; give me life according to Your word. Psalms 119:154.

Here also 'acting in the quarrel' stands for delivering from falsities. In Micah,

Quarrel with the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice. Micah 6:1.

'Quarrelling with the mountains' stands for contending and defending against the haughty, and also against the evils of self-love. 'The hills which will hear the voice' are the humble and those who have charity. In Isaiah,

I will not quarrel eternally, nor will I be angry forever. Isaiah 57:16.

'Quarrelling' stands for contending against falsities. In Hosea, Jehovah has a quarrel wit Judah. Hosea 12:2

Here the meaning is similar. There are other places in addition to these.

脚注:

1. literally, will quarrel their quarrel, i.e. will plead their cause

2. literally, You have quarrelled my soul's quarrels

3. literally, Quarrel my quarrel
