1 ου παραδεξη ακοην ματαιαν ου συγκαταθηση μετα του αδικου γενεσθαι μαρτυς αδικος

2 ουκ εση μετα πλειονων επι κακια ου προστεθηση μετα πληθους εκκλιναι μετα πλειονων ωστε εκκλιναι κρισιν

3 και πενητα ουκ ελεησεις εν κρισει

4 εαν δε συναντησης τω βοι του εχθρου σου η τω υποζυγιω αυτου πλανωμενοις αποστρεψας αποδωσεις αυτω

5 εαν δε ιδης το υποζυγιον του εχθρου σου πεπτωκος υπο τον γομον αυτου ου παρελευση αυτο αλλα συνεγερεις αυτο μετ' αυτου

6 ου διαστρεψεις κριμα πενητος εν κρισει αυτου

7 απο παντος ρηματος αδικου αποστηση αθωον και δικαιον ουκ αποκτενεις και ου δικαιωσεις τον ασεβη ενεκεν δωρων

8 και δωρα ου λημψη τα γαρ δωρα εκτυφλοι οφθαλμους βλεποντων και λυμαινεται ρηματα δικαια

9 και προσηλυτον ου θλιψετε υμεις γαρ οιδατε την ψυχην του προσηλυτου αυτοι γαρ προσηλυτοι ητε εν γη αιγυπτω

10 εξ ετη σπερεις την γην σου και συναξεις τα γενηματα αυτης

11 τω δε εβδομω αφεσιν ποιησεις και ανησεις αυτην και εδονται οι πτωχοι του εθνους σου τα δε υπολειπομενα εδεται τα αγρια θηρια ουτως ποιησεις τον αμπελωνα σου και τον ελαιωνα σου

12 εξ ημερας ποιησεις τα εργα σου τη δε ημερα τη εβδομη αναπαυσις ινα αναπαυσηται ο βους σου και το υποζυγιον σου και ινα αναψυξη ο υιος της παιδισκης σου και ο προσηλυτος

13 παντα οσα ειρηκα προς υμας φυλαξασθε και ονομα θεων ετερων ουκ αναμνησθησεσθε ουδε μη ακουσθη εκ του στοματος υμων

14 τρεις καιρους του ενιαυτου εορτασατε μοι

15 την εορτην των αζυμων φυλαξασθε ποιειν επτα ημερας εδεσθε αζυμα καθαπερ ενετειλαμην σοι κατα τον καιρον του μηνος των νεων εν γαρ αυτω εξηλθες εξ αιγυπτου ουκ οφθηση ενωπιον μου κενος

16 και εορτην θερισμου πρωτογενηματων ποιησεις των εργων σου ων εαν σπειρης εν τω αγρω σου και εορτην συντελειας επ' εξοδου του ενιαυτου εν τη συναγωγη των εργων σου των εκ του αγρου σου

17 τρεις καιρους του ενιαυτου οφθησεται παν αρσενικον σου ενωπιον κυριου του θεου σου

18 οταν γαρ εκβαλω εθνη απο προσωπου σου και εμπλατυνω τα ορια σου ου θυσεις επι ζυμη αιμα θυσιασματος μου ουδε μη κοιμηθη στεαρ της εορτης μου εως πρωι

19 τας απαρχας των πρωτογενηματων της γης σου εισοισεις εις τον οικον κυριου του θεου σου ουχ εψησεις αρνα εν γαλακτι μητρος αυτου

20 και ιδου εγω αποστελλω τον αγγελον μου προ προσωπου σου ινα φυλαξη σε εν τη οδω οπως εισαγαγη σε εις την γην ην ητοιμασα σοι

21 προσεχε σεαυτω και εισακουε αυτου και μη απειθει αυτω ου γαρ μη υποστειληται σε το γαρ ονομα μου εστιν επ' αυτω

22 εαν ακοη ακουσητε της εμης φωνης και ποιησης παντα οσα αν εντειλωμαι σοι και φυλαξητε την διαθηκην μου εσεσθε μοι λαος περιουσιος απο παντων των εθνων εμη γαρ εστιν πασα η γη υμεις δε εσεσθε μοι βασιλειον ιερατευμα και εθνος αγιον ταυτα τα ρηματα ερεις τοις υιοις ισραηλ εαν ακοη ακουσητε της φωνης μου και ποιησης παντα οσα αν ειπω σοι εχθρευσω τοις εχθροις σου και αντικεισομαι τοις αντικειμενοις σοι

23 πορευσεται γαρ ο αγγελος μου ηγουμενος σου και εισαξει σε προς τον αμορραιον και χετταιον και φερεζαιον και χαναναιον και γεργεσαιον και ευαιον και ιεβουσαιον και εκτριψω αυτους

24 ου προσκυνησεις τοις θεοις αυτων ουδε μη λατρευσης αυτοις ου ποιησεις κατα τα εργα αυτων αλλα καθαιρεσει καθελεις και συντριβων συντριψεις τας στηλας αυτων

25 και λατρευσεις κυριω τω θεω σου και ευλογησω τον αρτον σου και τον οινον σου και το υδωρ σου και αποστρεψω μαλακιαν αφ' υμων

26 ουκ εσται αγονος ουδε στειρα επι της γης σου τον αριθμον των ημερων σου αναπληρωσω

27 και τον φοβον αποστελω ηγουμενον σου και εκστησω παντα τα εθνη εις ους συ εισπορευη εις αυτους και δωσω παντας τους υπεναντιους σου φυγαδας

28 και αποστελω τας σφηκιας προτερας σου και εκβαλει τους αμορραιους και τους ευαιους και τους χαναναιους και τους χετταιους απο σου

29 ουκ εκβαλω αυτους εν ενιαυτω ενι ινα μη γενηται η γη ερημος και πολλα γενηται επι σε τα θηρια της γης

30 κατα μικρον μικρον εκβαλω αυτους απο σου εως αν αυξηθης και κληρονομησης την γην

31 και θησω τα ορια σου απο της ερυθρας θαλασσης εως της θαλασσης της φυλιστιιμ και απο της ερημου εως του μεγαλου ποταμου ευφρατου και παραδωσω εις τας χειρας υμων τους εγκαθημενους εν τη γη και εκβαλω αυτους απο σου

32 ου συγκαταθηση αυτοις και τοις θεοις αυτων διαθηκην

33 και ουκ εγκαθησονται εν τη γη σου ινα μη αμαρτειν σε ποιησωσιν προς με εαν γαρ δουλευσης τοις θεοις αυτων ουτοι εσονται σοι προσκομμα

9323. 'And He will bless your bread and your water' means the increase of the good of love and of the truth of faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'being blessed by Jehovah' as being made fruitful in forms of good and being multiplied in truths, dealt with in 2846, 3406, 4981, 6091, 6099, 8939, thus an increase in the kinds of things that belong to love and faith; from the meaning of 'bread' as the good of love, dealt with in 276, 680, 2165, 2177, 3478, 3735, 3813, 4211, 4217, 4735, 4976, 6118, 8410; and from the meaning of 'water' as the truth of faith, dealt with in 680, 739, 2702, 3058, 3424, 4976, 5668, 6346, 7307, 8568. Since 'bread' meant all the good of love and 'water' all the truth of faith in their entirety, and since 'being blessed by Jehovah' means every increase in them, people in the ancient Churches were accustomed to express the wish, May Jehovah bless [your] bread and water. It was also common to speak of 'bread and water' when all natural food and drink were to be expressed and all spiritual goodness and truth to be understood; for the latter are what nourish spiritual life, just as the former nourish natural life, 4976.

[2] Such goodness and truth are meant by 'bread and water' in the following places: In Isaiah,

Behold, Jehovah Zebaoth is taking away from Jerusalem and Judah the whole staff of bread, and the whole staff of water. Isaiah 3:1.

'The staff of bread' stands for power and life provided by good, 'the staff of water' for power and life provided by truth. In Ezekiel,

Behold, I am breaking the staff of bread in Jerusalem, so that they may eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and drink water by measure and with dismay; that they may be in want of bread and water, and will be dismayed with one another, 1 and waste away on account of their iniquity. Ezekiel 4:16-17.

'Being in want of bread and water' means being deprived of the good of love and of the truth of faith, as is plainly evident since it says 'that they will be dismayed with one with another, and waste away on account of iniquity'.

[3] The like occurs again in the same prophet,

They will eat their bread with anxiety, and drink their water with dismay, so that her land may be devastated of its fullness, on account of the violence of all who dwell in it. Ezekiel 12:19.

In Amos,

Behold, the days are going to come, in which I will send a famine on the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but for hearing the words of Jehovah. Amos 8:11.

In the first Book of Kings,

The man of God said to Jeroboam, If you were to give me half your house, I would not go in with you; nor would I eat bread nor drink water in this place. For Jehovah had so commanded, saying, You shall not eat bread, nor drink water, nor return by the way you came. But a prophet from Bethel said to him that he had been told by Jehovah that he was to eat bread and drink water with him (he was lying). 2 And he went back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water. For that reason he was torn to pieces by a lion. 1 Kings 13:8-9, 16-19, 24.

His refusal to eat bread or drink water with Jeroboam was a sign of his abhorrence of the good there and also of the truth, because they had been rendered profane. For Jeroboam had profaned the altar and all the holy things of worship, as is evident from the historical descriptions at this point in the Word.

[4] A lack of spiritual goodness and truth was meant by the absence of rain for three and a half years when Ahab was king, resulting in a lack of bread and of water, during which time Elijah went to a widow in Zarephath and asked her for a little water in a vessel so that he might drink, and a piece of bread so that he might eat, 1 Kings 17, 18. For 'bread' meant all the good of the Church, and 'water' all the truth of the Church, as stated above. Since such things in those times were representative for the reason that only something representative of the Church existed among those people, and since things of a representative nature were used therefore in the composition of the Word, including the historical section, goodness and truth laid waste was accordingly represented by the lack of bread and water. And because 'bread' meant all the good of love in its entirety, therefore also the sacrifices were referred to as 'bread', 2165, and therefore also the Lord calls Himself 'the bread which comes down from heaven', John 6:48, 50-51; for the Lord is the Good itself of Love.

脚注:

1. literally, will be desolated a man and his brother

2. i.e. the prophet from Bethel was lying when he told the man of God that God had commanded him (that prophet) to bring the man of God to his house
