Kabbalah Keluaran 22:8: Sha'arei Orah

עַֽל־כָּל־דְּבַר־פֶּ֡שַׁע עַל־שׁ֡וֹר עַל־חֲ֠מוֹר עַל־שֶׂ֨ה עַל־שַׂלְמָ֜ה עַל־כָּל־אֲבֵדָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֤ר יֹאמַר֙ כִּי־ה֣וּא זֶ֔ה עַ֚ד הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים יָבֹ֖א דְּבַר־שְׁנֵיהֶ֑ם אֲשֶׁ֤ר יַרְשִׁיעֻן֙ אֱלֹהִ֔ים יְשַׁלֵּ֥ם שְׁנַ֖יִם לְרֵעֵֽהוּ׃ (ס)

Dalam setiap perkara pelanggaran, baik tentang lembu, keledai, domba, pakaian, maupun barang hilang apa pun, yang tentangnya seseorang berkata, “Inilah dia”, perkara kedua belah pihak harus dibawa ke hadapan para hakim. Orang yang dinyatakan bersalah oleh para hakim harus membayar ganti dua kali lipat kepada sesamanya.

Sha'arei Orah

This is what our sages meant when they said,11Talmud Bavli, Rosh HaShanah 11a, and see Rashi there. “All the acts of creation (Ma’aseh Bereishit) were created with their knowledge, with their full stature, and with their reason and consent.” “With their knowledge” – means that they understood what will be with them. “With their full stature” – means that they understood what the size of their body and the form of their limbs would be. “With their reason and consent” – means that they desired and agreed to accept it all upon themselves.

Sha'arei Orah

It therefore is incumbent upon you to contemplate that in a time of judgment, whoever is a judge or has been appointed to preside over the judgment-Din, whether he is an angel or a man, is called God-Elohi”m-אלהי״ם. This is the meaning of the verse,81Exodus 22:8 – See Targum Onkelos there. “The claims of both shall come before the judges-Elohi”m-אלהי״ם, and the one who the judges-Elohi”m-אלהי״ם found guilty, shall pay double to his fellow.” Another verse similarly states,82Exodus 22:27 – See Targum Onkelos there. “You shall not curse a judge-Elohi”m-אלהי״ם,” and it states,83Deuteronomy 1:17 “For judgment is God’s-Elohi”m-אלהי״ם.”
