利未记 5

Studie

   

1 若有人见发誓的声音(或作:若有人见叫人发誓的声音),他本是见证,却不把所见的、所知道的说出来,这就是罪;他要担当他的罪孽。

2 或是有人摸了不洁的物,无论是不洁的死,是不洁的死畜,是不洁的死虫,他却不知道,因此成了不洁,就有了罪。

3 或是他摸了别人的污秽,无论是染了甚麽污秽,他却不知道,一知道了就有了罪。

4 或是有人嘴里冒失发誓,要行恶,要行善,无论人在甚麽事上冒失发誓,他却不知道知道了就要在这其中的件上有了罪。

5 他有了罪的时候,就要承认所犯的罪,

6 并要因所犯的,把他的赎愆祭牲─就是羊群中的母,或是一只羔,或是一只山羊─牵到耶和华面前为赎祭。至於他的,祭司要为他赎了。

7 他的力量若不够献只羊羔,就要因所犯的,把两只斑鸠或是两只雏鸽耶和华面前为赎愆祭:只作赎祭,只作燔祭。

8 把这些到祭司那里,祭司就要先把那赎祭献上,从鸟的颈项上揪下来,只是不可把鸟撕断,

9 也把些赎祭牲的血弹在的旁边,剩下的血要流在的脚那里;这是赎祭。

10 他要照例献第二只为燔祭。至於他所犯的,祭司要为他赎了,他必蒙赦免。

11 他的力量若不够献两只斑鸠或是两只雏鸽,就要因所犯的供物来,就是细面伊法十分之一为赎祭;不可加上,也不可加上乳香,因为是赎祭。

12 他要把供物到祭司那里,祭司要取出自己的一把作为纪念,按献给耶和华火祭的条例烧在上;这是赎祭。

13 至於他在这几件事中所犯的祭司要为他赎了,他必蒙赦免。剩下的面都归与祭司,和素祭样。

14 耶和华晓谕摩西

15 人若在耶和华的物上误犯了罪,有了过犯,就要照你所估的,按所的舍客勒子,将赎愆祭牲─就是羊群中一只没有残疾的公绵─牵到耶和华面前为赎愆祭;

16 并且他因在物上的差错要偿还,另外加五分之一,都祭司。祭司要用赎愆祭的公绵为他赎罪,他必蒙赦免。

17 若有人犯罪,行了耶和华所吩咐不可行的甚麽事,他虽然不知道,还是有了罪,就要担当他的罪孽;

18 也要照你所估定的价,从羊群中牵一只没有残疾的公绵,给祭司作赎愆祭。至於他误行的那错事,祭司要为他赎罪,他必蒙赦免。

19 这是赎愆祭,因他在耶和华面前实在有了罪。

Apocalypse Explained # 79

/ 1232  
  

79. And he laid his right hand upon me. That this signifies life from Him, is evident from the signification of right hand, when said of the Lord, as being life from Him (concerning this see above, n. 72). The reason why this signifies life from the Lord, is, that it follows immediately after the words, "I fell at his feet as dead." And, moreover, by touching with the hand, is signified to communicate and transfer to another that which belongs to oneself, and also to receive from another and to communicate and transfer to another what belongs to oneself, when said of the Lord, as in this passage, denotes life, such as is communicated to those who are in a state of enlightenment, and see and hear such things as are in heaven. This also was the case with John; for he was in such a state of enlightenment when he saw and heard the things described in the Apocalypse.

[2] The reason why to touch with the hand denotes to communicate, and to transfer to another, is, because all the power of man is transferred from the body into the hands; therefore, what the mind wills that the body should do, the arms and hands perform accordingly. Hence it is that by arms and hands in the Word is signified power (as may be seen, Arcana Coelestia 878, 3091, 4931-4937. 7673, 10019); this power, however, is natural power, and communication thereby is the exertion of the forces of the body; but spiritual power is to will the good of another, and, as much as possible, to be willing to transfer to another what belongs to oneself. This power is signified by hand in the spiritual sense, and its communication and translation by touching with the hand.

From these considerations it is evident that, by the Lord, who is there called the Son of man, laying His right hand upon John, when he lay as dead, is signified, that He communicated and transferred to him life from Himself (concerning which, see above).

[3] To touch, and to touch with the hand, has a similar signification in many passages in the Word, as in the following. In Daniel:

The Lord, who there appeared to him as a man clothed in linen, whose aspect was as the appearance of lightning, and His eyes as torches of fire, and His feet as the brightness of polished brass, touched him; restored him to his station; set him upon his knees; touched his lips, and opened his mouth; and again touched him, and strengthened him (10:4 to the end).

In Jeremiah:

"Jehovah put forth his hand and touched my mouth, and said, I give my words into thy mouth" (1:9).

And in Matthew:

Jesus put forth His and to the leper "and touched him, saying, I will, be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed" (8:3).

In the same:

Jesus saw Peter's wife's mother sick of a fever "and he touched her hand, and the fever left her" (8:14, 15).

In the same:

Jesus touched the eyes of two blind men and their eyes were opened (9:29).

In the same:

"While Peter was speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed the disciples, and behold a voice out of the cloud which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. And when the disciples heard it, they fell upon their face, and were sore afraid. Then Jesus came near and touched them, and said, Arise, be not afraid" (17:5-7).

In Luke:

Jesus came and touched the bier of the dead man, and said, "Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. Then he that was dead sat up, and began to speak" (7:14, 15).

In the same:

Jesus touched the ear of the deaf man, and healed him (22:51).

In Mark:

"They brought young children to him, that he should touch them. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them" (10:13, 16).

In the same:

They brought unto Jesus those that were sick "that they might touch the hem of his garment; and as many as touched were made whole" (Matthew 14:35, 36).

In Luke:

"A woman having an issue of blood, touched the border of Jesus' garment; and immediately her issue of blood stanched. Jesus said, Some one hath touched me, for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me" (8:43, 44, 46).

[4] Because by the touching and laying on of hands, is signified to communicate and transfer to another what is one's own, therefore from ancient times it has been customary in the churches to lay hands upon the heads of those who were inaugurated and blessed, as Moses was commanded to do in the case of Joshua (Numbers 27:18-23; Deuteronomy 34:9). Since all things among the sons of Israel were representative and significative of spiritual things, so also was the touch; therefore those were sanctified who touched what was holy, and those were polluted who touched what was unclean, for the touch signified communication and transference from one to another, and reception from one by another; as is evident from the following passages in Moses: whosoever shall touch the tent of the assembly, the ark of the testimony, the table and all its vessels, the lampstand and its vessels, the altar of incense, the altar of burnt offering and all its vessels, and the laver and its foot, shall be holy (Exodus 30:26-29). Whatsoever touched the altar should be holy (Exodus 29:37). Every thing which touched the remainder of the meat-offering, and the remainder of the flesh from the sacrifices, should be holy (Leviticus 6:11-20).

"Whosoever touched a dead body, and purified not himself, defiled the tabernacle of Jehovah; therefore that soul should be cut off from Israel. Whosoever touched one that was slain with a sword in the open fields, or a bone of a man, or a grave, should be unclean seven days. He that toucheth the waters of separation, shall be unclean until even. Whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean until even" (Numbers 19:11, 13, 16, 21, 22).

He who toucheth unclean beasts, and unclean creeping things, shall be unclean; everything upon which they shall fall shall be unclean, whether a vessel of wood, raiment, water, an earthen vessel, food, drink, an oven, except a fountain, pit, a receptacle of waters, shall be unclean (Leviticus 11:31-36). Besides other places, as Leviticus 5:2, 3; 7:21; 11:37, 38; 15:1 to the end; 22:4; Numbers 16:26; Isaiah 52:11; Lamentations 4:14, 15; Hosea 4:2, 3; Haggai 2:12, 13, 14.
