1 και ταυτα τα δικαιωματα α παραθησεις ενωπιον αυτων

2 εαν κτηση παιδα εβραιον εξ ετη δουλευσει σοι τω δε εβδομω ετει απελευσεται ελευθερος δωρεαν

3 εαν αυτος μονος εισελθη και μονος εξελευσεται εαν δε γυνη συνεισελθη μετ' αυτου εξελευσεται και η γυνη μετ' αυτου

4 εαν δε ο κυριος δω αυτω γυναικα και τεκη αυτω υιους η θυγατερας η γυνη και τα παιδια εσται τω κυριω αυτου αυτος δε μονος εξελευσεται

5 εαν δε αποκριθεις ειπη ο παις ηγαπηκα τον κυριον μου και την γυναικα και τα παιδια ουκ αποτρεχω ελευθερος

6 προσαξει αυτον ο κυριος αυτου προς το κριτηριον του θεου και τοτε προσαξει αυτον επι την θυραν επι τον σταθμον και τρυπησει αυτου ο κυριος το ους τω οπητιω και δουλευσει αυτω εις τον αιωνα

7 εαν δε τις αποδωται την εαυτου θυγατερα οικετιν ουκ απελευσεται ωσπερ αποτρεχουσιν αι δουλαι

8 εαν μη ευαρεστηση τω κυριω αυτης ην αυτω καθωμολογησατο απολυτρωσει αυτην εθνει δε αλλοτριω ου κυριος εστιν πωλειν αυτην οτι ηθετησεν εν αυτη

9 εαν δε τω υιω καθομολογησηται αυτην κατα το δικαιωμα των θυγατερων ποιησει αυτη

10 εαν δε αλλην λαβη εαυτω τα δεοντα και τον ιματισμον και την ομιλιαν αυτης ουκ αποστερησει

11 εαν δε τα τρια ταυτα μη ποιηση αυτη εξελευσεται δωρεαν ανευ αργυριου

12 εαν δε παταξη τις τινα και αποθανη θανατω θανατουσθω

13 ο δε ουχ εκων αλλα ο θεος παρεδωκεν εις τας χειρας αυτου δωσω σοι τοπον ου φευξεται εκει ο φονευσας

14 εαν δε τις επιθηται τω πλησιον αποκτειναι αυτον δολω και καταφυγη απο του θυσιαστηριου μου λημψη αυτον θανατωσαι

15 ος τυπτει πατερα αυτου η μητερα αυτου θανατω θανατουσθω

16 ο κακολογων πατερα αυτου η μητερα αυτου τελευτησει θανατω

17 ος εαν κλεψη τις τινα των υιων ισραηλ και καταδυναστευσας αυτον αποδωται και ευρεθη εν αυτω θανατω τελευτατω

18 εαν δε λοιδορωνται δυο ανδρες και παταξη τις τον πλησιον λιθω η πυγμη και μη αποθανη κατακλιθη δε επι την κοιτην

19 εαν εξαναστας ο ανθρωπος περιπατηση εξω επι ραβδου αθωος εσται ο παταξας πλην της αργιας αυτου αποτεισει και τα ιατρεια

20 εαν δε τις παταξη τον παιδα αυτου η την παιδισκην αυτου εν ραβδω και αποθανη υπο τας χειρας αυτου δικη εκδικηθητω

21 εαν δε διαβιωση ημεραν μιαν η δυο ουκ εκδικηθησεται το γαρ αργυριον αυτου εστιν

22 εαν δε μαχωνται δυο ανδρες και παταξωσιν γυναικα εν γαστρι εχουσαν και εξελθη το παιδιον αυτης μη εξεικονισμενον επιζημιον ζημιωθησεται καθοτι αν επιβαλη ο ανηρ της γυναικος δωσει μετα αξιωματος

23 εαν δε εξεικονισμενον ην δωσει ψυχην αντι ψυχης

24 οφθαλμον αντι οφθαλμου οδοντα αντι οδοντος χειρα αντι χειρος ποδα αντι ποδος

25 κατακαυμα αντι κατακαυματος τραυμα αντι τραυματος μωλωπα αντι μωλωπος

26 εαν δε τις παταξη τον οφθαλμον του οικετου αυτου η τον οφθαλμον της θεραπαινης αυτου και εκτυφλωση ελευθερους εξαποστελει αυτους αντι του οφθαλμου αυτων

27 εαν δε τον οδοντα του οικετου η τον οδοντα της θεραπαινης αυτου εκκοψη ελευθερους εξαποστελει αυτους αντι του οδοντος αυτων

28 εαν δε κερατιση ταυρος ανδρα η γυναικα και αποθανη λιθοις λιθοβοληθησεται ο ταυρος και ου βρωθησεται τα κρεα αυτου ο δε κυριος του ταυρου αθωος εσται

29 εαν δε ο ταυρος κερατιστης η προ της εχθες και προ της τριτης και διαμαρτυρωνται τω κυριω αυτου και μη αφανιση αυτον ανελη δε ανδρα η γυναικα ο ταυρος λιθοβοληθησεται και ο κυριος αυτου προσαποθανειται

30 εαν δε λυτρα επιβληθη αυτω δωσει λυτρα της ψυχης αυτου οσα εαν επιβαλωσιν αυτω

31 εαν δε υιον η θυγατερα κερατιση κατα το δικαιωμα τουτο ποιησουσιν αυτω

32 εαν δε παιδα κερατιση ο ταυρος η παιδισκην αργυριου τριακοντα διδραχμα δωσει τω κυριω αυτων και ο ταυρος λιθοβοληθησεται

33 εαν δε τις ανοιξη λακκον η λατομηση λακκον και μη καλυψη αυτον και εμπεση εκει μοσχος η ονος

34 ο κυριος του λακκου αποτεισει αργυριον δωσει τω κυριω αυτων το δε τετελευτηκος αυτω εσται

35 εαν δε κερατιση τινος ταυρος τον ταυρον του πλησιον και τελευτηση αποδωσονται τον ταυρον τον ζωντα και διελουνται το αργυριον αυτου και τον ταυρον τον τεθνηκοτα διελουνται

36 εαν δε γνωριζηται ο ταυρος οτι κερατιστης εστιν προ της εχθες και προ της τριτης ημερας και διαμεμαρτυρημενοι ωσιν τω κυριω αυτου και μη αφανιση αυτον αποτεισει ταυρον αντι ταυρου ο δε τετελευτηκως αυτω εσται

37 εαν δε τις κλεψη μοσχον η προβατον και σφαξη αυτο η αποδωται πεντε μοσχους αποτεισει αντι του μοσχου και τεσσαρα προβατα αντι του προβατου

9086. 'And an ox or an ass falls into it' means, which perverts good or truth in the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'falling' as perverting, dealt with below; from the meaning of 'an ox' as an affection for evil in the natural, thus evil there, dealt with above in 9065; and from the meaning of 'an ass' as truth in the natural, dealt with in 2781, 5492, 5741, 7024, 8078. The fact that 'falling into a pit' - when these words refer to good and truth in the natural, which are meant by 'an ox and an ass' - means perverting is evident from the contents of the next verse. These describe amendment made through truth, which can be accomplished with forms of good or truths that have been perverted, but not with those which have been wiped out. For when good or truth is perverted it still remains, but is misrepresented. 'Falling' also means slipping through error.

[2] Because this was meant by 'falling into a pit', the Lord therefore said,

Which of you, having an ass or an ox that has fallen into a well, will not immediately pull it out on the sabbath day? Luke 14:5.

The Lord said this when He healed someone with dropsy on the sabbath day. In that Church the sabbath day was the holiest because it was a sign of the heavenly marriage, which is the joining together of goodness and truth from the Lord, 8495, 8510. This explains why healings were performed by the Lord on the sabbath day; for healing implied the healing of spiritual life, and dropsy implied the perversion of truth and good, so that the healing of perverted truth implied amendment and restoration. All the Lord's miracles implied and were signs of states of the Church, 8364, as is true of all Divine miracles in general, 7337. So it is then that the Lord said, 'Which of you, having an ass or an ox that has fallen into a well, will not immediately pull it out on the sabbath day?' by which in the spiritual sense what has just been stated was meant. For whatever the Lord spoke He spoke from the Divine; and since it came from the Divine every detail has an internal sense within it, 9049, 9063 (end). 'A well' in what He said is similar in meaning to 'a pit', namely falsity, 1688. And since 'a pit' means falsity the Lord also said, when talking about the falsities of the Church,

When the blind leads the blind both fall into a pit. Matthew 15:14.

'The blind' is someone with wrong ideas, and 'falling into a pit' means perverting truth. These words were used to make a comparison; but all comparisons in the Word were drawn from among objects used as signs of spiritual things, 3579, 8989.

[3] There are people who believe that the Divine holiness which the Word contains lies hidden on a level no higher than the meaning apparent in the letter. Such people's vision of holiness in these words spoken by the Lord and in everything else in the Word arises solely from their belief that everything there is Divinely inspired, and that the things which no one can explain are arcana known only to God. But people who do not share that belief spurn the Word, solely because of its style, which is in appearance less polished than a style adopted to conform to the spirit of the age, such as that adopted by very many ancient and modern authors. But let these people know that Divine holiness lies in each and every detail of the Word. It consists however in this, that each and every detail has the Lord as its subject, also His kingdom and Church. All its details are extremely holy because they are Divine, received from the Lord, and so hold eternal life within them, as accords with the Lord's words in John,

The words that I speak to you, they are spirit and they are life. John 6:63.

But the things that are Divine and holy are clearly visible to angels in heaven because they do not understand the Word in a natural way according to the literal sense, only in a spiritual way according to the internal sense. The latter sense could also be understood by people in the world if they were to lead an angelic life, that is to say, a life of faith and love. The things contained in the internal sense of the Word are one and the same as those which the genuine teachings of the Church present. Those which the genuine teachings of the Church present are the Lord, faith in Him, love to Him, and a love of the good that comes from Him, which love is charity towards the neighbour, 6709, 6710, 8123. Those who lead this angelic life, and no others at all, are enlightened by the Lord and see the holy things of the Word; see Preface to Genesis 18.

Genesis第19章

1 The two angels came to Sodom at evening. Lot sat in the gate of Sodom. Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them. He bowed himself with his face to the earth,

2 and he said, "See now, my lords, please turn aside into your servant's house, stay all night, wash your feet, and you can rise up early, and go on your way." They said, "No, but we will stay in the street all night."

3 He urged them greatly, and they came in with him, and entered into his house. He made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.

4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter.

5 They called to Lot, and said to him, "Where are the men who came in to you this night? Bring them out to us, that we may have sex with them."

6 Lot went out to them to the door, and shut the door after him.

7 He said, "Please, my brothers, don't act so wickedly.

8 See now, I have two virgin daughters. Please let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them what seems good to you. Only don't do anything to these men, because they have come under the shadow of my roof."

9 They said, "Stand back!" Then they said, "This one fellow came in to live as a foreigner, and he appoints himself a judge. Now will we deal worse with you, than with them!" They pressed hard on the man Lot, and drew near to break the door.

10 But the men put forth their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.

11 They struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

12 The men said to Lot, "Do you have anybody else here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whoever you have in the city, bring them out of the place:

13 for we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before Yahweh that Yahweh has sent us to destroy it."

14 Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters, and said, "Get up! Get out of this place, for Yahweh will destroy the city." But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking.

15 When the morning came, then the angels hurried Lot, saying, "Get up! Take your wife, and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city."

16 But he lingered; and the men grabbed his hand, his wife's hand, and his two daughters' hands, Yahweh being merciful to him; and they took him out, and set him outside of the city.

17 It came to pass, when they had taken them out, that he said, "Escape for your life! Don't look behind you, and don't stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be consumed!"

18 Lot said to them, "Oh, not so, my lord.

19 See now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your loving kindness, which you have shown to me in saving my life. I can't escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and I die.

20 See now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape there (isn't it a little one?), and my soul will live."

21 He said to him, "Behold, I have granted your request concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.

22 Hurry, escape there, for I can't do anything until you get there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.

23 The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.

24 Then Yahweh rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulfur and fire from Yahweh out of the sky.

25 He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground.

26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

27 Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Yahweh.

28 He looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and looked, and saw that the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.

29 It happened, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.

30 Lot went up out of Zoar, and lived in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to live in Zoar. He lived in a cave with his two daughters.

31 The firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us in the way of all the earth.

32 Come, let's make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve our father's seed."

33 They made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. He didn't know when she lay down, nor when she arose.

34 It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, "Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine again, tonight. You go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve our father's seed."

35 They made their father drink wine that night also. The younger went and lay with him. He didn't know when she lay down, nor when she got up.

36 Thus both of Lot's daughters were with child by their father.

37 The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.

38 The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben Ammi. He is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.
