Exodus第22章

1 Kui varas tabatakse sissemurdmiselt ja lüüakse surnuks, siis tapjal ei ole veresüüd.

2 Aga kui päike oli juba tõusnud, siis on tapjal veresüü. Varas peab tasuma kõik; kui tal midagi ei ole, võib teda ennast müüa varguse pärast.

3 Kui varastatu, olgu härg või eesel või lammas leitakse tema käest elusana, siis ta peab tasuma kahekordselt.

4 Kui keegi söödab ära põllu või viinamäe, laseb karja lahti ja söödab teise põllul, siis ta peab asemele andma parimat oma põllult ja viinamäelt.

5 Kui tuli pääseb lahti ja hakkab kibuvitste külge ning põletab ära nabrad või lõikamata vilja või põllu, siis süütaja peab põlenu eest täielikult tasuma.

6 Kui keegi teisele annab hoiule raha või riistu ja need varastatakse selle kojast, siis peab varas, kui ta leitakse, tasuma kahekordselt.

7 Aga kui varast ei tabata, viidagu koja omanik Jumala ette: kas ta ise ei ole pannud oma kätt ligimese vara külge?

8 Kõigis süütegudes härja, eesli, lamba, riiete ja kõigi kadunud asjade pärast, mida keegi ütleb enese oma olevat, tuleb mõlema asi viia Jumala ette: kelle Jumal süüdi mõistab, see peab teisele tasuma kahekordselt.

9 Kui keegi teisele annab hoiule eesli või härja või lamba või mõne muu looma ja see sureb või saab vigastada või viiakse ära kellegi nägemata,

10 siis peab nende mõlema vahel toimuma vanne Issanda ees: kas ta pole pannud oma kätt teise omandi külge? Omanik peab vandega leppima ja teine ärgu tasugu.

11 Kui see aga tõepoolest on temalt varastatud, siis ta peab omanikule tasuma.

12 Kui see aga tõepoolest on maha murtud, siis ta toogu see tõendiks; mahamurtut ta ei tarvitse tasuda.

13 Kui keegi teiselt laenab looma ja see saab vigastada või sureb, ilma et omanik juures oleks, siis ta peab selle eest temale tasuma.

14 Aga kui omanik juures oli, siis tal ei ole vaja tasuda; kui see oli renditud, siis asendab selle rendihind.

15 Kui keegi võrgutab neitsi, kes ei ole kihlatud, ja magab temaga, siis ta peab mõrsjahinna eest tema enesele naiseks võtma.

16 Aga kui selle isa keeldub teda temale andmast, siis mees vaagigu raha, nagu on mõrsjahind neitsi eest.

17 Sa ei tohi nõida ellu jätta!

18 Igaühte, kes ühtib loomaga, tuleb karistada surmaga!

19 Kes ohverdab jumalatele ja mitte üksnes Issandale, see tuleb hukata!

20 Ära rõhu võõrast ja ära tee temale häda, sest te ise olete olnud võõrad Egiptusemaal!

21 Te ei tohi halvasti kohelda ühtegi lesknaist ega vaeslast!

22 Kui sa neid halvasti kohtled, nii et nad mind appi hüüavad, siis ma kuulen tõesti nende hüüdu,

23 mu viha süttib põlema ja ma tapan teid mõõgaga, nõnda et teie naised jäävad leskedeks ja lapsed orbudeks.

24 Kui sa laenad raha minu rahvale, mõnele, kes on vaene, siis ära ole tema suhtes liigkasuvõtja: te ei tohi temalt kasu võtta!

25 Kui sa oled võtnud pandiks oma ligimese üleriide, siis sa pead selle temale tagasi andma, enne kui päike loojub,

26 sest see ta üleriie on tema ihu ainsaks katteks. Millega ta muidu magaks? Ma kuulen, kui ta mind appi hüüab, sest mina olen halastaja.

27 Sa ei tohi needa Jumalat ja sajatada oma rahva vürsti!

28 Oma külluse ja ülevooluga ära viivita! Sa pead esmasündinu oma poegadest minule andma!

29 Nõndasamuti tee oma veiste, lammaste ja kitsede esmasündinutega: seitse päeva olgu ta oma ema juures, kaheksandal päeval pead ta minule andma.

30 Ja te peate olema minule pühitsetud inimesed: väljal mahamurtu liha te ei tohi süüa, visake see koertele!

9207. 'And your sons orphans' means that at the same time truths will do so, that is to say, will perish. This is clear from the meaning of 'orphans' as those who possess truth but not as yet good, and still have a desire for good, dealt with in 9199, at this point those who have truth but no desire for good, thus those with whom truths perish; for it is speaking about evil people whose sons will become orphans. The fact that truths perish with those who have no desire for good is evident from what has been stated immediately above in 9206 regarding goodness and truth when joined together. But something further must be stated regarding that joining together. Truths that have been joined to good always hold within them a desire to do good, and at the same time to be joined more closely to good by doing it. Or what amounts to the same thing, those who possess truths always have a desire to do good and to join it thereby to their truths. People therefore who think that they are in possession of truths but who have no desire to do good do not in fact possess truths; that is, they have no belief in them, however much they imagine they do have.

[2] Their condition is portrayed by the Lord when He speaks of 'salt', in Matthew,

You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt is tasteless, by what will it be made salty? It no longer has any use, except to be thrown outdoors and trodden down by people. Matthew 5:13-14.

The Lord says these things to the disciples and to the people. By 'the salt of the earth' He means the Church's truth that has a desire for good, and by 'tasteless salt' He means truth devoid of any desire for good. The fact that such truth is worthless is portrayed by the idea of salt which has become tasteless and no longer has any use, except to be thrown outdoors and trodden down by people. Having a desire for good means having a desire to do good and thereby be joined to good.

[3] In Mark,

Everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be salted with salt. Salt is good; but if the salt becomes tasteless, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and seek 1 peace with one another. Mark 9:49-50.

'Being salted with fire' means good that has a desire for truth, and 'being salted with salt' truth that has a desire for good. 'Tasteless salt' is truth devoid of any desire for good; 'having salt in oneself' means possessing that desire.

[4] In Luke,

Any of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be My disciple. Salt is good; but if the salt is made tasteless, by what will it be seasoned? It is fit neither for the land nor for the dunghill; people throw it outdoors. Luke 14:33-35.

Here 'salt' in a similar way stands for truth that has a desire for good, and 'tasteless salt' for truth that is devoid of any desire for good, 'unfit for the land or for the dunghill' standing for its total inability to serve any use, good or bad. People possessing such truth are called the lukewarm, as is evident from the words immediately before, stating that a person cannot be the Lord's disciple if he does not renounce all his possessions, that is, if he does not love the Lord above all things. For those loving the Lord and also themselves equally are the ones who are called the lukewarm and who are unfit to serve any use, good or bad.

[5] In Moses,

Every offering of your minchah shall be salted with salt; you shall not leave the salt of the covenant of your God off your minchah. 2 On all your offerings you shall offer salt. Leviticus 2:13.

Salt in every offering was a sign that truth's desire for good and good's desire for truth should be present in all worship. This also explains why this salt is called 'the salt of God's covenant'; for 'a covenant' is a joining together, 665, 666, 1023, 1038, 1864, 1996, 2003, 2021, 2037, 6804, 8767, 8778, and 'salt' is the desire for the joining together.

[6] When each desires to be joined to the other, that is, good to truth and truth to good, they look towards each other. But when truth tears itself away from good, they turn away from each other and look backwards or behind themselves. This is what is meant in Luke by Lot's wife who had become a pillar of salt,

Whoever will be on the housetop with his vessels in the house, let him not come down to take them away; and whoever is in the field likewise, let him not return to the things behind him. Remember Lot's wife. Luke 17:31-32.

This means looking behind oneself or backwards, see 3652, 5895 (end), 5897, 7857, 7923, 8505, 8506, 8510, 8516.

[7] One reason why 'salt' means the desire truth possesses is that salt renders land fertile and makes food tasteful, and another reason is that salt contains a fiery property and at the same time a conjunctive power, even as truth contains a burning desire for good and at the same time a conjunctive power. 'A pillar of salt' is a separation from truth, for 'salt' in the contrary sense means truth that has been destroyed and laid waste, as in Zephaniah 2:9; Ezekiel 47:11; Jeremiah 17:6; Psalms 107:33-34; Deuteronomy 29:23; Judges 9:45; 2 Kings 2:19-22.

These matters have been introduced so that people may know what truth's desire for good is, and what good's desire for truth is, meant by 'orphan' and 'widow'.
