인간의 가치 평가와 모든 것을 회수하겠다 레위기 27장

레위기 마지막 장인 27장은 서약과 헌신 그리고 회수에 관한 이야기를 하고 있습니다. 여태 볼 수 없던 매우 계산적인 느낌이 드는데요. 창조주가 이성 감성 쏙 빼고 철저히 가치로만 계산을 하려는 흔적이 역력합니다. 헌신 필수, 그리고 일한 것 중 첫째는 다 내꺼, 십일조 안 하면 킬 당한다, 뭐 그런 내용 같습니다.

 

 

 

인간의 가치 평가에 관하여

 

1. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2. "Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, If anyone makes a special vow to the Lord involving the valuation of persons, 

3. then the valuation of a male from twenty years old up to sixty years old shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

4.If the person is a female, the valuation shall be thirty shekels.

5. If the person is from five years old up to twenty years old, the valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels.

6. If the person is from a month old up to five years old, the valuation shall be for a male five shekels of silver, and for a female the valuation shall be three shekels of silver.

7. And if the person is sixty years old or over, then the valuation for a male shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels.

 

 

8. And if someone is too poor to pay the valuation, then he shall be made to stand before the priest, and the priest shall value him; the priest shall value him according to what the vower can afford.

 

북한 김정은에게 최초로 위원장 호칭을 쓰라고 발언한 종북주의자 유시민은 참으로 이상한 사람 같습니다. 이 자가 나이 60이 되면 뇌가 썩는다고 했었죠. 지는 그 나이 될 줄 몰랐던 것인지, 실제 지도 그 나이가 되니 뇌가 썩은 것 같긴 합니다. 레위기 27장은 인간의 가치 평가에 관해서 나오고 있는데요. 이런 평을 하는 것을 보면 창조주는 동물이나 인간이나 동급 취급한 것은 아닌가 싶습니다.

 

하긴 외계에서 오신 분이니 차이를 못 느끼셨을 수도 있겠죠. 아무튼 창조주는 사람에 대해 특별히 평가를 해야 한다면 20세에서 60세까지의 남성은  50 세켈, 여성은 30세 켈로 차별을 두셨네요. 그리고 그 밑으로는 가격이 떨어지는데요. 20세에서 60세까지가 가장 일하기 좋은 나이란 건 불변인가 봅니다.

 

 그렇게 값을 매기고

 

 

 

9. "If the vow is an animal that may be offered as an offering to the Lord, all of it that he gives to the Lord is holy.

10. He shall not exchange it or make a substitute for it, good for bad, or bad for good; and if he does in fact substitute one animal for another, then both it and the substitute shall be holy.

11. And if it is any unclean animal that may not be offered as an offering to the Lord, then he shall stand the animal before the priest,

12. and the priest shall value it as either good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall be.

13. But if he wishes to redeem it, he shall add a fifth to the valuation.

 

창조주는 그렇게 인간과 동물의 값을 매기고 하나님께 바치는 동물 값 등 각종 물품에 대한 값이 매겨지는 과정을 설명합니다.

 

 매우 계산적인 과정

 

14. "When a man dedicates his house as a holy gift to the Lord, the priest shall value it as either good or bad; as the priest values it so tit shal lstand.

15. And if the donor wishes to redeem his house, he shall add a fifth to the valuation priece, and it shall be his.

 

 

 

16. "If a man dedicates to the Lord part of the land that is his possession, then the valuation shall be in proportion to its seed. A homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

17. If he dedicates his field from the year of jubilee, the valuation shall stand, 

18. but if he dedicates his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall calculate the price according to the years that remain until the year of jubilee, and a deduction shall be made from the valuation.

19. And if he who dedicates the field wishes to redeem it, then he shall add a fifth to its valuation price, and it shall remain his.

20. But if he does not wish to redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.

21. But the field, when it is released in the jubilee, shall be a holy gift to the Lord, like a field that has been devoted. The priest shall be in possession of it.

22. If he dedicates to the Lord a field that he has bought, which is not a part of his possession, 

23. then the priest shall calculate the amount of the valuation for it up to the year of jubilee, and the man shall give the valuation on that day as a holy gift to the Lord.

24. In the year of jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, to whom the land belongs as a possession.

25. Every valuation shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall make a shekel.

 

뭔가 눈대중의 시대에서 정교한 숫자의 시대를 맞이한 것인지, 창조주는 작정하고 철저하게 계산적으로 굴려고 하신 듯합니다. 창조주에게 바칠 몫부터 해서 십일조는 물론이거니와 밭의 경작품, 창조주에게 바칠 물품 등 가치와 가격이 매겨집니다.

 

 

 동물의 첫 째는 주님의 것

 

 

 

26. "But a firstborn of animals, which as a firstborn belongs to the Lord, no man may dedicate; whether ox or sheep, it is the Lord's.

27. And if it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back at the valuation, and add afifth to it; or, if it is not redeemed, it shall be sold at the valuation.

 

28. "But no devoted thing that a man devotes to the Lord, of anything that he has, whether man or beast, or of his inherited field, shall be sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to the Lord.

29. No one devoted, who is to be devoted for destruction from mankind, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.

 

 30. "Every tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the Lord's; it is holy to the Lord.

31. If a man wishes to redeem some of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to it.

32. And every tithe of herds and flocks, every tenth animal of all that pass under the herdsman's staff, shall be holy to the Lord.

33. One shall not differentiate between good or bad, neither shall he make a substitute for it; and if he does substitute for it, then both it and the substitute shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed."

 

 34. These are the commandments that the Lord commanded Moses for the people of Israel on Mount Sinai.

 

 

헌신하지 않은 사람은 죽임을 당할 거라고 합니다. 십일조를 반드시 갖다 바치라고 하는데요. 창조주가 일종의 인간을 다스리는 방식을 달리 생각하고 계획하신 것도 있지만, 통치에서 지배로 전략을 바꾼 것 같긴 합니다. 아무튼, 좀 무섭습니다.
