Exodus
21:1 Now these are the judgments.(these
judgments given at the time of the twelve commandments {Exodus
20:1-17} carry on down here through to chapter 24:3; these all were
given before the Mosaic Law).which
you shall set before them.
Exodus
21:2 If you buy an Hebrew
servant, six years he shall serve and in the seventh he shall go out free
for nothing.
Leviticus
25:39-43.
Exodus
21:3 If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself. If he were
married.(original
for 'married' is 'husband', what
does that mean?), then his wife
shall go out with him.
The
word 'marriage' is not in the original. What
then does it mean?
Exodus
21:4,5 If his master have given him a woman and she have born him sons
or daughters, the woman and her children shall be her master's and he shall
go out by himself. And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master,
my wife and my children, I will not go out free.
Exodus
21:6 Then his master shall bring him unto the judges. He shall also
bring him to the door or unto the door post and his master shall bore his
ear through with an aul
and he shall serve him forever.
Exodus
21:7 And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall
not go out as the menservants do.
Far
from intending to indulge elite slave owners, this ancient law was intended
to protect the dignity of women placed in less than ideal circumstances.
In contrast to a modern day playmate easily dispensed with after being
substantially used up, the Mosaic Law stipulated the legal rights of an
impoverished woman who becomes a servant member of a well to do household.
The menservants were free to l;eave after 7 years:.verse
2.
Exodus
21:8 If she please not her master, who has betrothed
her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed. To sell her unto a strange
nation he shall have no power, seeing he has dealt deceitfully with her.
Exodus
21:9 And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with
her after the manner of daughters.
Exodus
21:10,11 If he take him another wife, her food, her raiment and her
duty of marriage.(original
for 'duty of marriage'
is 'cohabitational
rights, 'conjugal
rights'; she still had the right to have sex with him).shall
he not diminish. And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she
go out free without money.
She
was then free to go and find another, without paying for her freedom. See
verses 7-11 here.
Exodus
21:12 He that smites a man so that he die shall be surely put to death.
Numbers
35:29-35 "...Whoso kills any individual human, the murderer
shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses...Moreover you shall take
no satisfaction.(ransom
bribe, atonement, reconciliation).for
the life of a murderer which is guilty of death, but he shall be surely
put to death...the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is
shed therein but by the blood of him that shed it..."
Exodus
21:13 And if a man lie not in wait.(is
not planning to harm another by waiting for opportunity to do harm),
but God deliver him into his hand then I will appoint a place whither he
shall flee.
That
is, you come across this individual again who is always against you and
you end up in a fight killing him, but it wasn't before in your heart to
do so, you are guilty of what's today called manslaughter.
Because of this, there was what's called a 'city of refuge' you could go
to and stay there being safe from those of the family of the one you killed,
who would be out to get you:.Numbers
35:6-28; Deuteronomy 19:2-10;
Joshua
20:2-6.
Exodus
21:14 But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbor, to slay him
with guile.(purposely
trick him into a fight you know you will win by killing him and then take
all his possessions), you shall take him from mine altar,
that he may die.(such
a man is worthless; get rid of such a deceitful and cruel individual).
Exodus
21:15 And he that smites his father or his mother, shall be surely
put to death.
An
unthankful evil child, probably grown up and big enough to take on his
parents to get all their property.
Exodus
21:16 And he that steals a man and sells him.(kidnapping).or
if he be found in his hand.(hadn't
sold him yet but would have), he shall surely be put to death.
Exodus
21:17 And he that curses his father or his mother.(talks
badly about his parents), shall surely be put to death.
Exodus
21:18 And if men strive together and one smite another with a stone
or with his fist
and he die not, but keeps his bed.(incapacitated
for a short while if one man injured another in a quarrel so as to oblige
him to keep his bed, he was free from the liability to a criminal charge
(such as might be based upon Exodus 21:12 above), but he was required to
compensate the latter for the loss of his time, and for the cost of his
healing),
Exodus
21:19 If he rise again and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he
that smote him be quit.(that
is, guiltless;
if one man injured another in a quarrel where the injured one had to recover
in bed, the one causing the injury was free from the liability to a criminal
charge such as would have been required in the case of verse
12 above, but he who caused the injury was made to compensate the injured
individual for the loss of his time and for the cost of his healing),
only he shall pay for the loss of his time and shall cause him to be thoroughly
healed.
Exodus
21:20 And if a man smite his servant or his maid with a rod and he
or she die under his hand, he shall be surely punished.
How
it does not tell us. I guess it would be as others recommend.
Exodus
21:21 Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two.(didn't
die), he shall not be punished, for he is his money.(the
'slave master' is the one from whom the slave's money comes from).
Exodus
21:22,23 If men strive and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit
depart from her and yet no mischief follow, he shall be surely punished,
according as the woman's husband will lay upon him and he shall pay as
the judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then you shall give life
for life.
More
clearly and accurately as the NIV translation has it 'If men who
are fighting hit a pregnant women by chance and she gives birth prematurely
and there is no other serious injury (akin to placing one on their deathbed),
the offender must be fined whatever the woman's husband demands and the
court allows. But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for
life'; in other words, if the woman or the child should die, the appropriate
punishment under this
Old
Testament law would be death. Hotheads
need to learn not to be.
Exodus
21:24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot..(*)
Be
careful how you are around others, to cause no harm in any way.
Exodus
21:32 If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant, he shall
give unto their master thirty shekels of silver and the ox shall be stoned.
Exodus
22:1 If a man shall steal an ox or a sheep and kill it or sell it,
he shall restore five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep.
Exodus
22:2,3 If a thief be found breaking in.(at
night).and be smitten that he
die, there shall no blood be shed for him.(that
is, the one defending himself and his property shall not be accounted as
being guilty for killing him). But, if the sun be risen upon
him.(the
one who was breaking in), there shall be blood shed for him.(that
is, he was caught in the act and therefor guilty), for he
should make full restitution. If he have nothing, then he shall be sold
for his theft.(receive
a penalty of being made to be of service to others for some time determined
to be a fitting correction).
Barnes
Notes: If a thief, in breaking into a dwelling in the night, was
slain, the individual who slew him did not incur the guilt of blood, but
if the same occurred in daylight, the slayer was guilty in accordance with
Exodus
21:12. The distinction may have been based on the fact that in the
light of day there was a fair chance of identifying and apprehending the
thief. Lesson is:.Titus
2:12 "...Teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we
should live soberly, righteously and godly in this present world.".Know
what is right and stick to it.
Exodus
22:4-9 If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it
be ox or ass or sheep, he shall restore double. If a man shall cause a
field or vineyard to be eaten and shall put in his beast and shall feed
in another man's field, of the best of his own field and of the best of
his own vineyard, shall he make restitution. If fire break out and catch
in thorns so that the stacks of corn or the standing corn or the field
be consumed therewith, he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
If a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep and it
be stolen out of the man's house, if the thief be found, let him pay double.
If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be brought
unto the judges, to see whether he have put his hand unto his neighbour's
goods. For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep,
for raiment
or for any manner of lost thing, which another challenges to be his, the
cause of both parties shall come before the judges and whom the judges
shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbour.
"No
blood shall be shed for him".Clarke's
Commentary:."If
a thief was found breaking into a house in the night, one could
kill him, but not if the sun had risen, for then he might be known and
taken and the restitution
made which is mentioned in the succeeding verse."
You couldn't
use excuses to kill someone, such as if you didn't like him or could see
some advantage for you if he was not around.
Exodus
22:10-12 If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass or an ox or a sheep
or any beast, to keep and it die or be hurt or driven away, no man seeing
it, then shall an oath of the Lord be between them both, that he has not
put his hand unto his neighbour's goods and the owner of it shall accept
thereof and he shall not make it good. And if it be stolen from him, he
shall make restitution
unto the owner thereof. If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it
for witness
and he shall not make good that which was torn.
Exodus 22:14-18 And if a man borrow ought of his
neighbour and it be hurt or die, the owner thereof being not with it, he
shall surely make it good. But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall
not make it good. If it be an hired thing, it came for his hire. And if
a man entice a maid that is not betrothed and lie with her, he shall surely
endow her to be his wife. If her father utterly refuse to give her unto
him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
Exodus
22:14-18 And if a man borrow ought of his neighbour and it be hurt
or die, the owner thereof being not with it, he shall surely make it good.(example,
you borrow a car from someone and while driving it, one of the ball joints
or whatever, breaks; fix it). But if the owner thereof be with it,
he shall not make it good. If it be an hired thing, it came for his hire.(if
you paid for a rental and something breaks, you don't pay to have it fixed,
it's the responsibility of the loaner, not of he who borrows
it). And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed
and lie with her, he shall surely endow
her to be his wife. If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him,
he shall pay money according to the dowry
of virgins.
Exodus
22:18 You shalt not suffer a witch to live.
Exodus
22:19 Whosoever lies with a beast shall surely be put to death.
Exodus 22:20 He that sacrifices unto any God,
save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
Exodus
22:20 He that sacrifices unto any God.(and
they had tons of them
back then), save
unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed.(or
more correctly, 'is headed in the way
of destruction').
Exodus
22:21 You shall neither vex
a stranger nor oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Exodus
22:22 You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child.
Exodus
22:23 If you afflict them in any way and they cry at all unto me, I
will surely hear their cry.
All
these and more laws (how
many more?) were of the Mosaic Law of
the Old
Testament, which is now done
away, superceded
now by the two great laws
Christ came to reveal for humanity, but they are still principles
that should be followed when interacting
with others; why?
Exodus
22:24 And my wrath shall wax
hot and I will kill you with the sword and your wives shall be widows and
your children fatherless.
Exodus
22:25 If you lend money to any of my people that is poor by you, you
shall not be to him as an usurer, neither shall you lay upon him usury.
Exodus 22:26-27 If you at all take thy neighbour's
raiment to pledge, you shall deliver it unto him by the time the sun goes
down, for that is his covering only it is his raiment for his skin. Wherein
shall he sleep? And it shall come to pass, when he cries unto me, that
I will hear, for I am gracious.
Exodus
22:26-27 If you at all take thy neighbour's raiment
to pledge.(you borrowed
some cloths from him for some reason), you shall deliver it unto
him by the time the sun goes down, for that is his covering only.(Deuteronomy
24:13), it is his raiment for his skin. Wherein shall he sleep?.(comprised
with Clarke's
Commentary:."...a
sort of coarse blanket, about six yards long and five or six feet broad,
which an Arab always carries with him and on which he sleeps at night,
it being his only substitute for a bed. As the fashions in the east scarcely
ever change, it is very likely that the raiment of the Israelites was precisely
the same with that of the modern Arabs, who live in the very same desert
in which the Hebrews were when this law was given. How necessary it was
to restore the this to a poor man before the going down of the sun, when
it gets cold in the deserts.").And
it shall come to pass, when he cries unto me, that I will hear, for I am
gracious.
Exodus
22:28 You shall not revile
the gods, nor curse the ruler of your people.(why?.Romans
13:1-8).
Word
'gods' is known to mean either the family
of the Creator and/or those
the Creator has placed in authority here on Earth. JFB
Commentary: 'gods' is a word which several times in this chapter
is rendered 'judges' or magistrates.
In other words,
the family of the Creator is a family of high
consciousness, so only do those things of high consciousness to be
in it.
Exodus
22:29 You shalt not delay to offer the first of your ripe fruits and
of your liquors; the firstborn of your sons shall
you give unto me.
Exodus
22:30-31 Likewise shall you do with your oxen and with your sheep.
Seven days it shall be with his dam and on the eighth day you shalt give
it to me. And you shall be holy men unto me. Neither shall you eat any
flesh that is torn of beasts in the field. You shall cast it to the dogs.
Exodus
23:1 You shalt not raise a false report. Put not your hand with the
wicked to be an unrighteous.witness.
Don't
be in unity with
others who would gladly
hide evil with falsehoods.
The liars in life today, one
example.
Exodus 23:2 You shall not follow a multitude to do
evil.(avoid
going with the crowd if heading away from God); neither shall
you speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment.
Exodus
23:2 You shall not follow a multitude to do evil.(avoid
the crowd that wants to hurt others and do mischief:.Matthew
15:14); neither shall you speak in a cause to decline after
many to wrest
judgment.
Don't join
in with the thinking of others to slant.information
against another, thus disgracing
their own characters:.Leviticus
19:15 "You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment. You shall not respect
the person of the poor.(means
to 'not lift yourself up against'; would have been better translated 'don't
disrespect another because they may be poor'),
nor honour the person of the mighty, but in righteousness shall you judge
your neighbour."
Exodus
23:3 Neither shall you countenance.(original
is 'honor', that is, do not regard
the state of either
the rich or of the poor to pervert
your judgment;
saying to the rich 'yes, I can help you' or putting
off the poor because he can't pay you).a
poor man in his cause.
Exodus
23:4 If you meet your enemy's ox
or his ass going
astray,
you shall surely bring it back to him again.
Exodus
23:5 If thou see the ass of him that hates you lying under his burden.(had
a heavy load that was hard for the donkey
to carry).and would forbear
to help him, you shall surely help.
Exodus
23:6 Thou shalt not wrest
the judgment of thy poor in his cause.(twist
it around to make it look worse
than it is).
Courts,
judges, attorneys, the legal
but not lawful system, is adept
at twisting things around in taking advantage of you. See David
Straight Utah 1 at 1hour, 15 minutes in approximately.
Exodus
23:7 Keep yourself far from a false matter and the innocent and righteous
won't be out to slay you, for I will not justify the wicked.
God
will allow the automatic law of 'you reap
what you sow' to affect you; you've sown negativity
and will reap the same; one must make a decision and take action toward
change in order to be in alignment
with God.
Exodus
23:8 And you shall take no gift.(no
bribefrom
someone who wants to use you to their selfish advantage),
for the gift blinds the wise and perverts
the words of the righteous.
Gets
one's mind off of doing the best for all concerned and onto collusion
for selfish reasons. If you start doing this, you're taking steps into
the dark side. We reap what
we have sown.
Exodus 23:9 Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger,
for you know the heart of a stranger, seeing you were strangers in the
land of Egypt.
Exodus
23:9 Also thou shalt not oppress.(original
also has 'squeeze').a
stranger.(one not of
your club, church, etc., that is you, for example, charge him more for
your, say, roofing job than you would those in your little group; this
is stupidity,
not realizing
that all is of
God, all
is one and you fail to realize {Matthew
25:40 "...Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these
my brethren, you have done it unto me."} the
law
of compensation), for you know the heart of a stranger, seeing
you were strangers in
the land of Egypt.
Exodus
23:10,11 And six years you shall sow your land and shall gather in
the fruits thereof, but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie
still, that the poor of your people may eat.(that
is, plant on it and take for themselves what they planted).and
what they leave, the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner you
shalt deal with thy vineyard and with your oliveyard.
Exodus
23:12 Six days you shalt do thy work.(original
is 'your deeds', the things you do; doesn't mean to work your ass off six
days a week; six days to do your thing and then rest).and
on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest
and the son of thy handmaid and the stranger, may be refreshed.
Exodus
23:15 You shall keep the feast
of unleavened bread. You shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as
I commanded you, in the time appointed of the month Abib.(seventh
month of the year in the Hebrew calendar, corresponding to Nisan which
is the seventh month of the year in the Judean calendar).for
in it you came out from Egypt and none shall appear before me empty.
Exodus
23:16 And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which
you have sown in the field and the feast of ingathering, which is in the
end of the year, when you have gathered in your labours out of the field.
Exodus
23:22,23 But if you shall indeed obey his voice and do all that I speak,
then I will be an enemy unto your enemies and an adversary unto your adversaries.
For mine Angel shall go before you and bring you in unto the Amorites
and the Hittites.and
the Perizzites and the
Canaanites,
the Hivites and the Jebusites
and I will cut them off.
Exodus
23:24 You shall not bow down to their Gods, nor serve them, nor do
after their works, but you shall utterly overthrow them and quite break
down their images.
Exodus
23:25 And you shall serve the Lord your God and he shall bless your
bread and your water and I will take sickness away from the midst of you.
Exodus
23:26 There shall nothing cast their young.(you'll
have a full and healthful birth of children),
nor be barren, in your land. The number of your days I will fulfil.
Exodus
23:27 I will send terror before you and will destroy all the people
to whom you shall come across that are against you and I will make all
your enemies turn their backs unto you.
Exodus
23:29 I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the
land become desolate and the beast of the field multiply against you.
Exodus
23:30 By little and little I will drive them out from before you until
you be increased and inherit the land.
Exodus
24:1,2 And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the Lord, you and Aaron,
Nadab and Abihu and seventy of the elders of Israel and worship you afar
off. But only Moses alone shall come near God, they shall not come nigh,
neither shall the people go up with him.
Exodus
24:3 And Moses came and told the
people all the words of the God and all the judgments.
And all the people answered with one voice.(they
agreed).and said, All the
words which the Lord has said will we do.
Exodus
19:7,8; Deuteronomy 5:22-33,
but this didn't last long at all:.Numbers
15:31; Judges 2:20-23;
Jeremiah
44:16,17.
Exodus
24:4 And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord and rose up early in
the morning and builded an altar under the hill and twelve pillars, according
to the
twelve tribes of Israel.
Exodus
24:5,6 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered
burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the Lord.
And Moses took half of the blood and put it in basons and half of the blood
he sprinkled on the altar.
Exodus
24:7 And he took the book of the covenant and read in the audience
of the people and they said, All that the Lord has said will we do and
be obedient.(original
for word 'obedient' is 'listen and follow').
Exodus
24:8 And Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people and said,
Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has made with you concerning
all these words.
Exodus
24:9 Then went up Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu and seventy of the
elders of Israel.
Exodus
24:10 And they saw the God of Israel and there was under his feet as
it were a paved work of a sapphire stone.(was
this some sort of spacecraft having landed on the mountain?.Genesis
15:17).and as it were the
body of heaven in his clearness.
Exodus
24:11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his
hand. Also they saw God and did eat and drink.
Could
have been an angel. Why?.Exodus
33:20.
Exodus
24:12 And the Lord said unto Moses,
Come up to me into the
mount and be there. And I will give you tables of stone and a law and
commandments which I have written.(written
on the stones:.Exodus
31:18), that you may teach them.
The
Creator wanted the people to be taught principles to bring them up higher
in thinking. People on Earth need
to learn things.
Exodus
24:13 And Moses rose up. And his
minister Joshua and
Moses went up into the mount of God.
Exodus
24:14 And he said unto the elders, Tarry you here for us, until we
come again unto you and behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. If any man
have any matters to do, let him come unto them.
Exodus
24:15-18 And Moses went up into the mount and a cloud covered the mount.
And the glory of the Lord abode upon mount
Sinai and the cloud covered it six days and the seventh day he called
unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud. And the sight of the glory of
the Lord was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of
the children of Israel.(who
were looking up from the bottom). And Moses went into the
midst of the cloud and gat him up into the mount and Moses was in the mount
forty days and forty nights.
Exodus 25:1-4 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering. Of every
man that gives it willingly with his heart you shall take my offering.
And this is the offering which you shall take of them; gold and silver
and brass, And blue and purple and scarlet and fine linen and goats' hair,
Exodus
25:1-4 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children
of Israel, that they bring me an offering. Of every man that gives it willingly
with his heart.(not
that God ever needed anything from man and God always
knows everything, but still
learns as life goes along; it was the people, by their own reaction
to an offering, could be see how he is; as today one needs willingness
to contribute
himself to the tabernacle
of the Creator inside us and
that is the high consciousness realm).you
shall take my offering. And this is the offering which you shall take of
them; gold and silver and brass, And blue and purple and scarlet and fine
linen and goats' hair,
Exodus
25:5 And rams' skins dyed red and badgers' skins and shittim wood,
Exodus
25:6,7 Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil and for sweet incense,
Onyx stones and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate.
Exodus
25:8 And let them make me a sanctuary.(a
sacred
place, a holy place;.Dictionary
of Theology:."this
was that part of the tabernacle that was called the most
holy place, into which the high priest entered only
once a year, on the great day of atonement").that
I may dwell among them.
God's
holy place was always preferred
to be is in the hearts of
those of high consciousness, both in the Old and New Testaments:.Isaiah
57:15.
Exodus
25:9 According to all that I show you, after the pattern of the tabernacle
and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall you make
it.
This
was some older tabernacle Moses would have been aware of that wasn't existing
at this time of building this new one.
Exodus
25:10 And they shall make an ark
of shittim wood. Two cubits and
a half shall be the length thereof and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof
and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
Exodus
25:11-15 And you shall overlay it with pure gold, within and without
shall you overlay it and shall make upon it a crown of gold round about.
And you shall cast four rings of gold for it and put them in the four corners
thereof and two rings shall be in the one side of it and two rings in the
other side of it. And you shall make staves of shittim wood and overlay
them with gold. And you shall put the staves into the rings by the sides
of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them. The staves shall be in
the rings of the ark. They shall not be taken from it.
Exodus
25:16 And you shall put into the
ark the testimony.(Numbers
17:10).which I shall give
you.
Exodus
25:17 And you shall make a mercy seat of pure gold. Two cubits
and a half shall be the length thereof and a cubit and a half the breadth
thereof.
Exodus
25:18-21 And you shall make two cherubims
of gold, of beaten work shall you make them, in the two ends of the mercy
seat. And make one cherub on the one end and the other cherub on the other
end. Even of the mercy seat shall you make the cherubims on the two ends
thereof. And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering
the mercy seat with their wings and their faces shall look one to another,
toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be. And you shall
put the mercy seat above upon the ark and in the ark you shall put the
testimony that I shall give you.
Exodus
25:22 And there I will meet with you and I will commune with you from
above the
mercy seat, from
between the two cherubims
which are upon the ark
of the testimony, of all things which I will give you in commandment
unto the children of Israel.
Exodus
25:23 You shall also make a table of shittim
wood. Two cubits
