율법과 규율을 인도하고 천사를 통하여 여정을 인도할 거라는 등의 내용이 나오는 출애굽기 23장입니다. 개인적으로 인상적인 것은 에일리언이란 단어가 나왔다는 점입니다. 이방인의 개념으로 서술한 것일 수도 있으나 영어 성경에서 스트레인저나 그 밖의 다른 단어가 아닌 콕 짚어서 에일리언을 넣은 게 의구심이 듭니다.
악행에 동참하지 말라
1. "You shall not spread a false report. You shall not join hands with a wicked man to be a malicious witness.
악인과 손잡고 악의적인 증인이 되지 말라고 합니다.
2. You shall not fall in with the many to do evil, nor shall you bear witness in a lawsuit , siding with the many, so as to pervert justice,
3. nor shall you be partial to a poor man in his lawsuit.
4. "If you meet your enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, you shall bring it back to him.
5. If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying down under its burden, you shall refrain from leaving him with it; you shall rescue it with him.
구구절절 옳은 것만 가르쳐주시네요. 눈에는 눈 이에는 이라고 하지만 그렇다고 원수가 곤란에 빠졌다고 기회를 뺏는 것이 아닌 나름 페어플레이를 요구하시는 것 같습니다.
또 외계인이 나오네
6. " You shall not pervert the justice due to your poor in his lawsuit.
7. Keep far from a false charge, and do not kill the innocent and righteous, for I will not acquit the wicked,
8. And you shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and subverts the cause of those who are in the right.
9. " You shall not oppress a sojourner. You know the heart of a sojourner, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
10. " For six years you shall sow your land and gather in its yield,
11. but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the beasts of the field may eat. You shall do likewise with your vineyard, and with your olive orchard.
12. " Six days you shall do your work, but on the seventh day you shall rest; that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your servant woman, and the alien, may be refreshed.
율법이 계속 진행되는 가운데 뇌물 뇌물을 받지 말고 체류자를 억압하지 말라고 합니다. 그리고 농사도 6년 지낸 후 1년은 놀리라고 하는데요. 이런 것도 다 순환의 원리 땅의 특성을 알고 하는 소리 같네요. 또한, 무엇보다 12절도 인상적입니다. 6일을 일한 후 7일째 쉬라고 하면서 동물과 하녀 등을 쉬게 하면 하인 가족부터 외계인도 리프레쉬하게 될 거라고 하는데요. 한글 성경에는 에일리언을 나그네라고 하였지만 sojourner란 체류자 혹은 나그네 같은 의미가 있는데 별도로 alien이 나온 게 인상적입니다. wayfarer란 단어를 써도 되고 말입니다. stranger도 있고요. 그런데 에일리언은 나그네보다는 그냥 외계인인 거잖아요? 아무래도 체류한 외계인이 있던 것 같지 않나요? 리프레쉬도 충전 회복 같은 의미로 단순 휴식과는 좀 달리 느껴집니다.
천사가 지키게 하겠다고
13. "Pay attention to all that I have said to you, and make no mention of the names of other gods, nor let it be heard on your lips.
14. " There times in the year you shall keep afeast to me.
15. You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. As I commanded you, you shall eat unleavened bread for seven days at the appointed time in the month of Abib, for in if you came out of Egypt. None shall appear before me empty-handed.
16. You shall keep the Feast of Harvest, of the firstfruits of your labor, of what you sow in the field, You shall keep the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in from the field the fruit of your labor.
17. Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord God.
18. " You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with anything leavened, or let the fat of my feast remain until the morning.
19. " The best of the firstfruits of your ground you shall bring into the house of the Lord your God.
" You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.
20. " Behold, I send an angel before you to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared.
21. Pay careful attention to him and obey his voice; do not rebel against him, for he will not pardon your transgression, for my name is in him.
22. " But it you carefully obey his voice and your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.
일종의 제사 규범을 알려준 구절들입니다. 그러한 가운데 천사, angel이란 단어도 인상적입니다. 그전에 엔젤이란 단어가 나왔었는지는 모르겠지만요. 생각해 보면 창세기 때는 지천사가 나왔는데 뭔가 인류가 번성하면서 지천사에서 활동력이 있고 보다 구체적인 미션을 받은 천사가 활약하는 것 같습니다. 대체 천사는 어떤 존재인 걸까요?
서서히 몰아낼 것이다
23. " When my angel goes before you and brings you to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, and I blot them out,
24. you shall not bow down to their gods nor serve them, nor do as they do, but you shall utterly overthrow them and break theirpillars in pieces.
25. You shall serve the Lord your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from among you.
26. None shall miscarry or be barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.
27. I will send my terror before you and will throw into confusion all the people against whom you shall come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
28. And I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites from before you.
29. I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the wild beasts multiply against you.
30. Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased and possess the land.
31. And I will set your border from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, for I will give the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.
32. You shall make no covenant with them and their gods.
33. They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me; for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you."
굴러 들어온 돌이 박힌 돌을 빼내는 전법을 구사하겠다는 것 같습니다. 그러나 곧바로 내치지 않고 서서히 몰아낼 거라고 합니다. 뭔가 대단한 음모가 깃들어 있는 것 같습니다.
