(续上)而土地不能被偷——人强占土地,土地仍属原主,即便原主已绝望。这里恐怕这些桃金娘枝是从犹太人那里偷来的,所以让外邦人割下,使物主的绝望发生在桃金娘枝还在外邦人手中时,而所有权的转移借着向外邦人购买、交到你们手中而完成——物主之绝望加上所有权之转移,使桃金娘枝成为商人的财物,就不是借过犯成就的诫命。
-
而土地是不能被偷的。
and land is not stolen.
-
当人强占土地时,这土地仍是它原主的财产,即便那原主已经绝望了。
When one seizes land, the land remains the property of its original owner, even if that owner has despaired.
-
在这情形里,恐怕这些桃金娘枝是从犹太人那里偷来的。
In this case, there is concern that these myrtle branches were stolen from Jews.
-
所以,让外邦人割下这些桃金娘枝,使物主的绝望发生在这些桃金娘枝仍在外邦人手中的时候,而所有权的转移,借着它们的买卖与交到你们手中而完成。
Therefore, let the gentiles cut the myrtle branches, so that the despair of the owners will be when the myrtle branches are still in the hands of the gentiles and the change of possession will be accomplished through their purchase and transfer into your hands.
-
物主的绝望与所有权的转移合在一起,会使这些桃金娘枝成为商人的财产,它就不会是一条借着一件过犯而成就的诫命。
The combination of owner’s despair and change of possession will render the myrtle branches the property of the merchants, and it will not be a mitzva fulfilled by means of a transgression.
