1 Hazug hírt ne hordj; ne fogj kezet a gonoszszal, hogy hamis tanú [ne] légy.

2 Ne indulj a sokaság után a gonoszra, és peres ügyben ne vallj a sokasággal tartva, annak elfordítására.

3 Szegénynek se kedvezz az õ peres ügyében.

4 Ha elõltalálod ellenséged eltévedt ökrét vagy szamarát: hajtsd vissza néki.

5 Ha látod, hogy annak a szamara, a ki téged gyûlöl, a teher alatt fekszik, vigyázz, rajta ne hagyd; oldd le azt õ vele együtt.

6 A te szegényednek igazságát el ne fordítsd az õ perében.

7 A hazug beszédtõl távol tartsd magad, és az ártatlant s az igazat meg ne öld; mert én nem adok igazat a gonosznak.

8 Ajándékot el ne végy: mert az ajándék megvakítja a szemeseket, és elfordítja az igazak ügyét.

9 A jövevényt ne nyomorgasd; hiszen ti ismeritek a jövevény életét, mivelhogy jövevények voltatok Égyiptom földén.

10 Hat esztendeig vesd be a te földedet és takard be annak termését;

11 A hetedikben pedig pihentesd azt, és hagyd úgy, hogy egyék meg a te néped szegényei; a mi pedig ezektõl megmarad, egye meg a mezei vad. E képen cselekedjél szõlõddel és olajfáddal is.

12 Hat napon át végezd dolgaidat, a hetedik napon pedig nyúgodjál, hogy nyúgodjék a te ökröd és szamarad, és megpihenjen a te szolgálód fia és a jövevény.

13 Mindazt, a mit néktek mondtam, megtartsátok, és idegen istenek nevét ne emlegessétek; ne hallassék az a te szádból.

14 Háromszor szentelj nékem innepet esztendõnként.

15 A kovásztalan kenyér innepét tartsd meg; hét nap egyél kovásztalan kenyeret, a mint megparancsoltam néked, az Abib hónap ideje alatt; mert akkor jöttél ki Égyiptomból: és üres [kézzel senki] se jelenjék meg színem elõtt.

16 És az aratás innepét, munkád zsengéjét, a melyet elvetettél a mezõn; és a takarodás innepét az esztendõ végén, a mikor termésedet betakarítod a mezõrõl.

17 Esztendõnként háromszor jelenjék meg minden férfiad az Úr Isten színe elõtt.

18 Ne ontsd ki az én áldozatom vérét kovászos kenyér mellett, és ünnepi [áldozatom] kövére meg ne maradjon reggelig.

19 A te földed zsengéjének elsejét vidd el a te Uradnak Istenednek házába. Ne fõzd meg a gödölyét az õ anyjának tejében.

20 Ímé én Angyalt bocsátok el te elõtted, hogy megõrízzen téged az útban, és bevigyen téged arra a helyre, a melyet elkészítettem.

21 Vigyázz magadra elõtte, és hallgass az õ szavára; meg ne bosszantsd õt, mert nem szenvedi el a ti gonoszságaitokat; mert az én nevem van õ benne.

22 Mert ha hallgatándasz az õ szavára; és mindazt megcselekedénded, a mit mondok: akkor ellensége lészek a te ellenségeidnek, és szorongatom a te szorongatóidat.

23 Mert az én Angyalom te elõtted megyen és beviszen téged az Emoreusok, Khitteusok, Perizeusok, Kananeusok, Khivveusok és Jebuzeusok közé, és kiirtom azokat.

24 Ne imádd azoknak isteneit és ne tiszteld azokat, és ne cselekedjél az õ cselekedeteik szerint; hanem inkább döntögesd le azokat és tördeld össze bálványaikat.

25 És szolgáljátok az Urat a ti Istenteket, akkor megáldja a te kenyeredet és vizedet; és eltávolítom ti közûletek a nyavalyát.

26 El sem vetél, meddõ sem lesz a te földeden [semmi]; napjaid számát teljessé teszem.

27 Az én rettentésemet bocsátom el elõtted, és minden népet megrettentek, a mely közé mégy, és minden ellenségedet elfutamtatom elõtted.

28 Darazsat is bocsátok el elõtted, és kiûzi elõled a Khivveust, Kananeust és Khitteust.

29 De nem egy esztendõben ûzöm õt ki elõled, hogy a föld pusztává ne legyen, és meg ne sokasodjék ellened a mezei vad.

30 Lassan-lassan ûzöm õt ki elõled, míg megszaporodol és bírhatod a földet.

31 És határodat a veres tengertõl a Filiszteusok tengeréig vetem, és a pusztától fogva a folyóvízig: mert kezeitekbe adom annak a földnek lakosait, és kiûzöd azokat elõled.

32 Ne köss szövetséget se azokkal, se az õ isteneikkel.

33 Ne lakjanak a te földeden, hogy bûnbe ne ejtsenek téged ellenem: mert ha az õ isteneiket szolgálnád, vesztedre lenne az néked.

9306. Take heed of his face. That this signifies holy fear, is evident from the signification of “taking heed of the face,” when said of the Lord, who is here meant by “the angel,” as being to be afraid lest He be angry on account of evils, or lest He be provoked on account of transgressions; as follows. To fear these things is holy fear (concerning which see above, n. 2826, 3718, 3719, 5459, 5534, 7280, 7788, 8816, 8925). It is said “take heed of his face,” because by the “face” is signified the interior things that belong to the life, thus those of the thought and affection, and especially those of the faith and the love. The reason is that the face has been formed according to the image of man’s interior things, in order that those which are of the internal man may appear in the external man; thus that those which are of the spiritual world may appear before the sight in the natural world, and so affect the neighbor. That the face exhibits in a visible form, or as it were in a mirror, the things which the man thinks and loves, is known. (That such are the faces of the sincere, and especially of angels, see n. 1999, 2434, 3527, 3573, 4066, 4326, 4796-4799, 5102, 5695, 6604, 8248-8250.)

Wherefore in the original tongue “the face” is a general term employed to describe the affections which exist and appear in a man, such as gratitude, favor, benevolence, help, kindness; and also as unmercifulness, anger, revenge; consequently in that tongue “the face,” taken with what it is joined to, means “near to,” “with,” “before,” “for the sake of,” and also “against;” thus whatever is in oneself, from oneself, for oneself, and against oneself; for as before said, the face is the man himself, or that which is in the man and shows itself.

[2] From all this it can be known what is signified by the “face of Jehovah,” or by the “face of the angel,” by whom is here signified the Lord as to His Divine Human; namely, the Divine good of the Divine love, and the Divine truth from this Divine good; for these are in Jehovah or the Lord, and they are from Him; nay, they are Himself (n. 222, 223, 5585). From this it is evident what is signified by the “faces of Jehovah” in the benediction:

Jehovah make His faces to shine upon thee, and be merciful unto thee; Jehovah lift up His faces unto thee, and give thee peace (Numbers 6:25-26).

God be merciful unto us, and bless us, and cause His faces to shine upon us (Psalms 67:1).

In like manner in Psalms 80:3, 7, (Psalms 80:7)19; 119:135; Daniel 19:17 and elsewhere.

[3] Hence it is that the Lord as to the Divine Human is called “the angel of the faces of Jehovah” in Isaiah:

I will make mention of the mercies of Jehovah. He will recompense them according to His mercies, and according to the multitude of His mercies; and He became their Savior; and the angel of His faces saved them, because of His love, and because of His pity (Isaiah 63:7-9).

That the Lord as to the Divine Human is called “the angel of the faces of Jehovah” is because the Divine Human is the Divine Itself in face, that is, in form, as the Lord also teaches in John:

If ye had known Me, ye had known My Father also; and from henceforth ye have known Him, and have seen Him. Philip said, Show us the Father. Jesus said unto him, Am I so long time with you, and hast thou not known Me, Philip? He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father. I am in the Father, and the Father in Me. Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me (John 14:7-11).

[4] By “the face of Jehovah” or the Lord is also signified anger, vengeance, punishment, and evil, for the reason that from the common idea that all things are from God the simple believe that evil also is from Him, especially the evil of punishment; and therefore in accordance with this common idea, and also according to the appearance, anger, vengeance, punishment, and evil are attributed to Jehovah or the Lord; when yet these are not from the Lord, but from man (on which subject see n. 1861, 2447, 5798, 6071, 6832, 6991, 6997, 7533, 7632, 7877, 7926, 8197, 8227, 8228, 8282, 8483, 8632, 8875, 9128). Such is the signification here of “take heed of his face, provoke him not, for he will not endure your transgression.” And also in Leviticus:

Whosoever shall eat any blood, I will set My faces against the soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from the midst of his people (Leviticus 17:10).

I have set my faces against the city for evil, and not for good (Jeremiah 21:10).

The face of Jehovah is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth (Psalms 34:16).

4326. There was heard a sound as of muttered thunder that flowed down from on high above the occiput, and continued around the whole of that region. I wondered who they were, and was told that they were those who relate to the general involuntary sense, and was told further that they could well perceive a man’s thoughts, but are not willing to expose and utter them-like the cerebellum, which perceives all that the cerebrum does, but does not publish it. When their manifest operation into all the province of the occiput had ceased, it was shown how far their operation extended. It was first determined into the whole face, then withdrew itself toward the left side of the face, and at last toward the ear on that side; by which was signified what was the nature of the operation of the general involuntary sense from the earliest times with men on this earth, and how it advanced.

[2] Influx from the cerebellum insinuates itself especially into the face, as is evident from the fact that the animus has been inscribed on the face, and the affections appear in the face, and this for the most part without the man’s will-such as fear, reverence, shame, various kind of gladness, and also of sadness, besides many other things, which are thereby made known to another in such manner that it is known from the face what affections are in the man, and what changes of animus and of mind. These things come from the cerebellum through its fibers, when there is no simulation within. It was thus shown that in the earliest times, or with the most ancient people, the general sense had possession of the whole face, and successively after those times only of the left side of it, and at last in still later times it emptied itself away from the face, so that at this day there is scarcely any general involuntary sense left in the face. The right side of the face together with the right eye corresponds to the affection of good, and the left to the affection of truth, the region where the ear is corresponding to obedience alone without affection.

[3] For with the most ancient people, whose age was called the Golden Age, because they were in a certain state of perfection or wholeness, and lived in love to the Lord and in mutual love as angels live, all the involuntary of the cerebellum was manifest in the face, and they did not at all know how to present anything in the countenance other than exactly as heaven flowed into their involuntary conatus or endeavors and thence into the will. But with the ancients, whose age was called the Silver Age, because they were in a state of truth, and thence in charity toward the neighbor, the involuntary of the cerebellum was not manifest in the right side of the face, but only in the left. But with their posterity, whose time was called the Iron Age, because they lived not in the affection of truth, but in obedience to truth, the involuntary was no longer manifest in the face, but betook itself to the region around the left ear. I have been instructed that the fibers of the cerebellum have thus changed their efflux into the face, and that instead of them fibers from the cerebrum have been transferred thither, which now control those which are from the cerebellum, and this from an endeavor to form the expressions of the face according to the behests of man’s own will, all of which is from the cerebrum. It does not appear to man that these things are so, but they are plainly manifest to the angels from the influx of heaven and from correspondence.
