21:2 Daca vei cumpara un rob evreu, sa slujeasca sase ani ca rob; dar in al saptelea, sa iasa slobod, fara sa plateasca nimic ca despagubire. Un rob evreu. Un evreu nu trebuia sa fie robul unui alt evreu (Levitic 25,25-55). Totusi, pentru ca sclavia era o institutie universal statornicita, Dumnezeu a ingaduit practicarea ei, insa a cautat sa micsoreze relele care o insoteau. In tarile pagane, robii erau considerati, de obicei, mai mult ca bunuri mobile decat ca oameni. Lucrul acesta era cel mai reprobabil, deoarece sclavia nu insemna in mod necesar nici o lipsa morala sau mintala a unui rob. Adesea robii se dovedeau a fi mai inteligenti si mai capabili decat stapanii lor. Mare parte din cei ce sufereau sclavia fara voie erau fie nascuti robi, fie facuti astfel cu ocazia razboaielor. In felul acesta, sclavia nu era o pedeapsa meritata, ci mult mai o nenorocire nemeritata. Acesti nenorociti nu aveau drepturi politice, ci numai cateva privilegii sociale, cu toate ca adesea erau legati de un stapan care le era inferior in toate privintele. Familiile lor puteau fi oricand desfacute si impartite cu alti stapani. Ei erau obiectul batailor nemiloase, fara despagubire, cu exceptia poate a cazurilor de vatamare serioasa. Lor li se putea cere cea mai grea munca, in ateliere ceva mai bune decat inchisorile, in mine nesanatoase, sau legati la vaslele galerelor pentru o slujire istovitoare de-a lungul anilor fara sfarsit. Spre deosebire, Domnul a ocrotit cu grija drepturile robilor evrei, ba a facut chiar si soarta robilor straini mult mai placuta decat era in alta parte. Tratamentul aspru era in mod categoric interzis (Levitic 25,43). Fata de stapan, sclavul mai era ,,fratele tau” (Deuteronom 15,12; Filimon 16). Ba mai mult, dupa plata pentru partea neexpirata a pretului de vanzare, stapanul era obligat sa-l elibereze pe rob (Levitic 25,48-52). Spiritul acestor legi referitoare la robi este acelasi ca acela enuntat de Pavel in Coloseni 4,1 si exprimat prin trimiterea robului crestin Onisim inapoi la Filimon, stapanul lui crestin (Filimon 8-16). In spirit, legea lui Moise este impotriva sclaviei. Accentuarea demnitatii omului ca fiind facut dupa chipul lui Dumnezeu si recunoasterea descendentei intregului neam omenesc dintr-o singura pereche contin, in principiu, afirmatia oricarui drept al omului (vezi Levitic 25,39-42; 26,11-13). De obicei, izraelitii deveneau ,,robi” in propriul neam prin saracie (Levitic 25,35, 39) si uneori prin crima (Exod 22,3). Uneori, copiii erau vanduti in locul unei datorii (2 Regi 4,1-7). Mai tarziu, ca urmare a razboiului, erau dusi departe ca robi in tari straine (2 Regi 5,2, 3). In al saptelea. Acesta nu se refera la anul sabatic (Exod 23,11; Levitic 25,4), ci la inceputul celui de-al saptelea an, dupa ce omul a devenit rob (Deuteronom 15,12). Cand venea anul jubiliar, robul evreu trebuia sa fie eliberat, indiferent cati ani slujise (Levitic 25,40). Altminteri, robia lui se termina la sfarsitul celui de-al saselea an. Stapanul nu numai ca trebuia sa-i acorde libertatea, ci mai era obligat sa-i dea parte din turma, din arie si din teasc (Deuteronom 15,12-15), pentru ca astfel sa poata incepe viata din nou. Astfel ca, in prima dintre legile civile gasim prevederi binefacatoare al caror spirit umanitar caracterizeaza toata legislatia mozaica. |

Special note for ANDROID SmartPhones
I recommend to download PhoneMe emulator for Android from here.
Especially I recommend phoneME Advanced - Foundation Profile + MIDP High Resolution b168 rev20547 from here, or from here.
Then you have to build your application, to transfer the .jar and .jad files on your mobile phone and run using this nice emulator.
1. Install a Zip Utility from Android Market.
2. Install a File Manager from Android Market.
3. Download and install PhoneMe, as mentioned above.
4. Build your application by using Download Multilingual Service or Dynamic Download (zip).
5. Copy the zip file into your Android Phone and unzip the content in a folder, and then write down the path to the unzipped files and the name of the .jad file.
6. Launch PhoneMe from your smartphone.
7. Inside PhoneMe, write to the main window the path and the name to the .jad file, above mentioned. Will look something like: file:///mnt/sd/download/BiblePhone.jad and then press enter.
8. The application will be installed, and next a hyperlink will be available below the above mentioned textbox. On this way you can install as many of MIDP application you like on your Android Phone.
How to install the application in Java Mobile enabled phones
It is possible now to have the Holy Scriptures on your mobile phone and to read
it wherever you are due to the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP)
technology in 1.0 and 2.0 versions, developed for Java applications.
A good advice is to try in the beginning the MIDP 1.0 / 128 Kbytes version, and
progressively to advance to MIDP 2.0 and larger volumes (512 Kbytes or more).
The application is available for MIDP 2.0, MIDP 1.0. You have only to select one
table on the field MIDP2.0 or MIDP1.0, according to the desired Bible version.
Then, you shall make a click on the JAR (Java Archive) file in order to obtain
the software to be installed on your mobile phone.
I recommend you to start with STARTER(MIDP1.0old) edition, then to continue with
INTERMEDIATE(MIDP1.0), and in the end, if the mobile phone supports this thing,
to try to install the ADVANCED (MIDP2.0) edition. Also, start with 128 kbytes
volumes, continue with 512 kbytes, and at the end try the version in one file.
There are cases where the mobile phone requires so called JAD (Java Descriptor)
files. These JAD files has to be
uploaded, on this case, together with the desired JAR files(s).
There are different methods to download the applications in your mobile phone as
follows:
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
5. If none from the above cases are valid
Next, we shall examine each case in order to have a successfully installation of
the software.
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
If your have Internet access on your mobile phone (e.g. WAP or GPRS), it is
enough to access
https://biblephone.intercer.net/wap/ from the browser of the mobile phone,
and to access the desired Bible version, and then to make an option about
MIDP1.0 or MIDP2.0, and finally to select the desired module (e.g. one or more).
After the last selection, the desired version will be downloaded on your mobile
phone.
Many phones have only this option for installing JAVA appplications.
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
If you don't have access to Internet directly from your mobile phone, then you
shall have to pass to this step requiring to have infrared ports on your mobile
phone and on the computer.
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to activate the infrared port on the mobile phone and align it with the infrared
port of the computer (preferable laptop).
c. Then a window will appear asking what file you want to send to the mobile
phone. Next, you will select the downloaded JAR file, and after OK, the mobile
phone will ask you if you want to load that file. You say YES and the
application will be downloaded on your mobile phone.
d. Probably, you will be asked by the mobile phone where you want to save it (e.g.
on the games or applications directories). After you made this selection, the
file will be ready to be loaded for run.
The displaying preference can be set inside the application in order to have
larger fonts, full screen display etc.
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
This situation is similar with the infrared case. You have only to activate
Bluetooth access on your mobile phone (check if exists) and on the computer (check
if exists).
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific
mobile phones.
On this case the steps are as follows:
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to set up the wired connection between the mobile phone and the computer. Next,
you will start the synchronization / data transfer application and download the
JAR file in your mobile phone. Surely, you will have to consult the CD of your
mobile phone.
c. By this application you shall transfer into your mobile phone the JAR file in
the games or applications directories. Next, you will have to select for run the
JAR desired file.
5. If none from the above cases are valid
On this unhappy case, I recommend you to find a friend with a laptop having
infrared / Bluetooth capabilities, or to buy a data link cable, or to change
your current model of mobile phone.
Unfortunately, some models of mobile phones require only WAP/GPRS in order to
download and run Java applications.
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones. Therefore check the documentation of them and also the page for specific
models.
Why so many versions? Simple, because not all the mobile phones support the
Bible in one file with MIDP 2.0 (the most advanced for the time being).
