1 Ei sinun pidä uskoman valheita; ettäs auttaisit jumalatointa, ja tulisit vääräksi todistajaksi.

2 Ei sinun pidä joukkoa seuraaman pahuuteen, eikä myös vastaaman oikeuden edessä niin että sinä poikkeat joukon jälkeen pois oikeutta vääntämään.

3 Ei sinun pidä kaunisteleman köyhää, hänen asiassansa.

4 Koska sinä kohtaat vihollises härjän eli aasin eksyksissä niin sinun pitää johdattaman sen hänelle jällensä.

5 Koskas näet vihollises aasin makaavan kuorman alla, kavahda, ettes häntä jättäisi; vaan sinun pitää kaiketi auttaman häntä.

6 Ei sinun pidä kääntelemän sinun köyhäs oikeutta hänen asiassansa.

7 Ja ole kaukana vääristä asioista. Viatointa ja hurskasta ei sinun pidä tappaman; sillä en minä pidä jumalatointa hurskaana.

8 Ei sinun pidä lahjoja ottaman; sillä lahjat sokaisevat näkeväiset, ja kääntävät hurskasten asiat.

9 Ei teidän pidä solvaiseman muukalaisia; sillä te tiedätte muukalaisen sydämen, että te myös itse olette olleet muukalaiset Egyptin maalla.

10 Kuusi vuotta pitää sinun kylvämän sinun maas, ja kokooman sen tulon.

11 Vaan seitsemäntenä vuonna pitää sinun sen levolle jättämän, että köyhät sinun kansastas siitä syödä saisivat. Ja mitä jää, sen metsän pedot syökään. Niin pitää myös sinun tekemän viinamäkes ja öljymäkes kanssa.

12 Kuusi päivää pitää sinun työtäs tekemän, mutta seitsemäntenä päivänä pitää sinun lepäämän: että sinun härkäs ja aasis saisivat levätä, ja sinun piikas poika ja muukalainen sais itsensä virvottaa.

13 Kaikki ne mitkä minä olen teille sanonut, pitää teidän pitämän. Ja vierasten jumalain nimeä ei pidä teidän muistaman, ja sinun suustas ei pidä ne kuuluman.

14 Kolmasti vuodessa pitää sinun minulle juhlaa pitämän.

15 Happamattoman leivän juhlan pitää sinun pitämän, niin että sinä seitsemän päivää syöt happamatointa leipää, niinkuin minä sinulle käskenyt olen, määrättynä aikana sillä kuulla Abib. Sillä että sillä ajalla olet sinä lähtenyt Egyptistä; mutta älä tule tyhjin käsin minun eteeni.

16 Ja sen juhlan, koskas ensin rupeet pellolta korjaamaan, mitäs siihen kylvänyt olet. Ja korjaamisen juhlan, vuoden lopussa, koska sinä työs kedolta korjannut olet.

17 Kolmasti vuodessa pitää kaikki sinun miesväkes tuleman Herran Jumalan eteen.

18 Ei sinun pidä uhraaman minun uhrini verta happaman taikinan kanssa; ja minun juhlani lihavuus ei pidä ylitse yön jäämän huomeneksi.

19 Uutista ensimäisestä sinun maas hedelmästä pitää sinun tuoman sinun Herras Jumalas huoneesen. Ei sinun pidä keittämän vohlaa emänsä rieskassa.

20 Katso, minä lähetän enkelin sinun edelles varjelemaan sinua tiellä, ja johdattamaan sinun siihen paikkaan, jonka minä olen valmistanut.

21 Pidä vaari itsestäs hänen kasvoinsa edessä ja kuule hänen äänensä, älä hänen mieltänsä pahoita; sillä ei hän jätä rankaisemata teidän ylitsekäymistänne: sillä minun nimeni on hänessä.

22 Vaan jos sinä ahkerasti kuulet hänen äänensä, ja teet kaikki mitä minä sinulle käsken, niin minä olen sinun vihollistes vihollinen, ja sinun vainoojais vainooja.

23 Sillä minun enkelini käy sinun edelläs, ja johdattaa sinun Amorilaisten, Hetiläisten, Pheresiläisten, Kanaanealaisten, Heviläisten, ja Jebusilaisten tykö, ja minä hävitän heitä.

24 Niin ei sinun pidä kumartaman heidän jumaliansa, eikä myös heitä palveleman, eikä heidän tekoinsa jälkeen tekemän; mutta sinun pitää heidän epäjumalansa heittämän pois, ja lyömän heidän kuvansa rikki.

25 Mutta Herraa teidän Jumalaanne pitää teidän palveleman, niin hän siunaa sinun leipäs ja sinun vetes: ja minä otan sinulta pois kaikki sairaudet.

26 Ei yksikään kesken synnyttäväinen eikä hedelmätöin pidä oleman sinun maassas; ja minä tahdon täyttää sinun päiväs luvun.

27 Minä lähetän minun pelkoni sinun edelles, ja hukutan kaiken kansan, jonka tykö sinä menet: ja saatan kaikki sinun vihollises pakoon sinun edestäs.

28 Minä lähetän hörhöläiset sinun edelles, jotka pitää ajaman pois sinun edestäs Heviläiset, Kanaanealaiset ja Hetiläiset.

29 En minä heitä aja ulos yhtenä vuonna sinun edestäs, ettei maa autiaksi tulisi, eikä metsän pedot enenisi sinua vastaan.

30 Vähittäin minä heitä ajan ulos sinun edestäs, siihenasti ettäs kasvat ja omistat maan.

31 Ja minä panen sinun maas rajat Punaisesta merestä niin Philistealaisten mereen asti, ja korvesta niin virtaan asti: sillä minä annan maan asuvaiset sinun kätees, ajaakses heitä ulos edestäs.

32 Ei sinun pidä liittoa tekemän heidän kanssansa, eikä heidän jumalainsa kanssa.

33 Ei heidän pidä asuman sinun maassas, ettei he kehoittaisi sinua syntiä tekemään minua vastaan, niin ettäs palvelet heidän jumaliansa, sillä se on sinulle paulaksi.

9294. 'And the feast of the harvest of the firstfruits of [your] labours, which you have sown in the field' means worship of the Lord and thanksgiving on account of the implanting of truth in that good. This is clear from the meaning of 'the feast' as worship of the Lord and thanksgiving, dealt with above in 9286, 9287; from the meaning of 'the harvest' as truth when it becomes fruitful, thus its implantation in good; from the meaning of 'the firstfruits (or the beginnings) of labours' as the things which come at the end of instruction and at the start of life, dealt with below; from the meaning of 'sowing' as giving instruction, dealt with in 9272; and from the meaning of 'the field' as the Church in respect of good, and so the Church's good, dealt with in 2971, 3500, 3766, 7502, 9139, 9141. From these meanings it is evident that 'the feast of the harvest of the firstfruits of labours, which you have sown in the field' means worship of the Lord and thanksgiving because truth has been planted in good.

[2] The fact that these things are meant by this second feast is clear from what has been stated above in 9286, namely that three feasts were established on account of people's deliverance from damnation, thus on account of their regeneration since it is through regeneration that a person is delivered from hell and brought to heaven. On this account the first feast, which was called the feast of unleavened bread, means purification from falsities; this second feast therefore means the planting of truth in good; and the third feast the implantation of good. For when a person is being regenerated he is first purified from falsities that arise from the evil of self-love and love of the world. That purification is accomplished by his being taught about evil, hell, and damnation, also about good, heaven, and eternal happiness, as a result of which he allows himself to be held back from evil deeds, intentions, and thoughts. When the ground has been prepared in that way, the truths of faith are sown in it, for they are not received before that. But the truths that are sown must be planted in good, for they have no ground anywhere else nor can they take root anywhere else. They are planted in good when a person wills truth, loves it, and does it. This state of regeneration or deliverance from damnation is meant by this feast, which is called 'the feast of the harvest of the firstfruits of labours', for 'the harvest' means truths when productive of good.

[3] When truths have been planted in good a person is no longer led by the Lord by means of truths but by means of good. This comes about when he wills good and does good from love and affection, that is, from charity. This state of regeneration or deliverance from damnation is meant by the third feast, which is called the feast of ingathering.

[4] These three feasts were also called the feast of Passover, the feast of weeks, and the feast of tabernacles; regarding these, see Exodus 34:18-22; Leviticus 23:1-end; Deuteronomy 16:1-end. By these three feasts the same things were represented as by the children of Israel being brought out of the land of Egypt, by their being brought into the land of Canaan, and by their dwelling in it. By the children of Israel being brought out of the land of Egypt the same thing was represented as by the first feast, called the Passover. This may be seen to be so from what has been shown regarding the Passover in 7093(end), 7867, 7995. For the bringing out of the children of Israel, on account of which that feast was established, meant the deliverance of those belonging to the spiritual Church from falsities by which they were molested, 7240, 7317, 9197.

[5] By the children of Israel being brought into the land of Canaan the same thing, namely the planting of truth in good, was represented as by this second feast, which was called 'the feast of the harvest of the firstfruits of labours' and also 'the feast of weeks'. For 'the land of Canaan' is the Church in respect of good, and so the Church's good, 1607, 3038, 3481, 3686, 3705, 4240, 4447, 4517, 5136, 6516, and 'the children of Israel' - in the abstract, without envisaging actual persons - are spiritual truths, 5414, 5879, 5951.

[6] By the dwelling of the children of Israel in the land of Canaan the same thing, namely the implantation of good and so life in heaven, was represented as by the third feast, which was called 'the feast of ingathering' of the fruits of the earth, and of ingathering from the threshing-floor and the press, also 'the feast of tabernacles'.

From all this it is now evident why three feasts were established, namely for the reason that the human race, which wishes to receive new life from the Lord, is brought out of hell and into heaven, which is accomplished by the Lord through His Coming into the world.

Genesis第34章

学习

   

1 Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.

2 Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her. He took her, lay with her, and humbled her.

3 His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady.

4 Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, "Get me this young lady as a wife."

5 Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter; and his sons were with his livestock in the field. Jacob held his peace until they came.

6 Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to talk with him.

7 The sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it. The men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had done folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter; a which thing ought not to be done.

8 Hamor talked with them, saying, "The soul of my son, Shechem, longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.

9 Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.

10 You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it."

11 Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, "Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you will tell me I will give.

12 Ask me a great amount for a dowry, and I will give whatever you ask of me, but give me the young lady as a wife."

13 The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit, and spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,

14 and said to them, "We can't do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach to us.

15 Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised;

16 then will we give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.

17 But if you will not listen to us, to be circumcised, then we will take our sister, and we will be gone."

18 Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.

19 The young man didn't wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter, and he was honored above all the house of his father.

20 Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with the men of their city, saying,

21 "These men are peaceful with us. Therefore let them live in the land and trade in it. For behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.

22 Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people, if every male among us is circumcised, as they are circumcised.

23 Won't their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let us give our consent to them, and they will dwell with us."

24 All who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor, and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.

25 It happened on the third day, when they were sore, that two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword, came upon the unsuspecting city, and killed all the males.

26 They killed Hamor and Shechem, his son, with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went away.

27 Jacob's sons came on the dead, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.

28 They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, that which was in the city, that which was in the field,

29 and all their wealth. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was in the house.

30 Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. They will gather themselves together against me and strike me, and I will be destroyed, I and my house."

31 They said, "Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?"
