1 耶和华摩西

2 你晓谕以色列人:你们到了我所赐你们居

3 若愿意从牛群羊群中取牛作火祭,献给耶和华,无论是燔祭是平安祭,为要还特许的愿,或是作甘心祭,或是逢你们节期献的,都要奉给耶和华为馨之祭。

4 那献供物的就要将细面伊法十分之一,并分之一,调和作素祭,献给耶和华

5 无论是燔祭是平安祭,你要为每只绵羊羔,同预备奠祭的酒分之

6 为公绵预备细面伊法十分之,并分之一,调和作素祭,

7 又用酒一分之一作奠祭,献给耶和华为馨之祭。

8 你预备公牛作燔祭,或是作平安祭,为要还特许的愿,或是作平安祭,献给耶和华

9 就要把细面伊法十分之,并,调和作素祭,和公牛一同献上,

10 又用酒半作奠祭,献给耶和华为馨的火祭。

11 献公牛、公绵、绵羔、山羊羔,每只都要这样办理。

12 照你们所预备的数目,按着只数都要这样办理。

13 凡本地人将馨的火祭献给耶和华,都要这样办理。

14 若有外人和你们同居,或有人世世代住在你们中间,愿意将馨的火祭献给耶和华,你们怎样办理,他也要照样办理。

15 至於会众,你们和同居的外人都归例,作为你们世世代永远的定例,在耶和华面前,你们怎样,寄居的也要怎样。

16 你们并与你们同居的外人当有样的条例样的典章。

17 耶和华摩西

18 你晓谕以色列人:你们到了我所领你们进去的那

19 的粮食,就要把举祭献给耶和华

20 你们要用初熟的麦子磨面,做饼当举祭奉献;你们举上,好像举禾场的举祭一样,

21 你们世世代要用初熟的麦子磨面,当举祭献耶和华

22 你们有错误的时候,不守耶和华所晓谕摩西的这一切命令,

23 就是耶和华摩西一切所吩咐你们的,自那日以至你们的世世代

24 若有误行,是会众所不知道的,後来全会众就要将只公牛犊作燔祭,并照典章把素祭和奠祭同献给耶和华为馨之祭,又献只公山羊作赎祭。

25 祭司要为以色列全会众赎,他们就必蒙赦免,因为这是错误。他们又因自己的错误,把供物,就是向耶和华献的火祭和赎祭,一并奉到耶和华面前。

26 以色列全会众和寄居在他们中间的外人就必蒙赦免,因为这罪是百姓误犯的。

27 若有个人误犯了,他就要献岁的母山羊作赎祭。

28 那误行的人犯罪的时候,祭司要在耶和华面前为他赎罪,他就必蒙赦免。

29 以色列中的本地人和寄居在他们中间的外人,若误行了甚麽事,必归样的条例,

30 但那擅敢行事的,无论是本地人是寄居的,他亵渎了耶和华,必从民中剪除。

31 因他藐视耶和华的言语,违背耶和华的命令,那人总要剪除;他的罪孽要归到他身上。

32 以色列人旷野的时候,遇见一个在安息日捡柴。

33 遇见他捡柴的人,就把他带到摩西亚伦并全会众那里,

34 将他收在监内;因为当怎样办他,还没有指明。

35 耶和华吩咐摩西:总要把那;全会众要在外用石头把他打

36 於是全会众将他带到外,用石头他,是照耶和华所吩咐摩西的

37 耶和华晓谕摩西

38 “你吩咐以色列人,叫他们世世代衣服边上作繸子,又在底边的繸子上,

39 你们佩带这繸子,好叫你们见就记念遵行耶和华一切的命令

40 使你们记念遵行我一切的命令,成为圣洁,归与你们的

41 我是耶和华─你们的,曾把你们从埃及领出来,要作你们的。我是耶和华─你们的

9223. '[And] you shall not be slow [to offer] the firstfruits of your grain and the firstfruits of your wine' means that since all the good and the truth of faith come from the Lord they are to be ascribed to Him, not to self. This is clear from the meaning of 'the firstfruits' as those things which must occupy first place, thus which are the chief of them all, dealt with below; from the meaning of 'grain' as the good of the truth of faith, dealt with in 5295, 5410, 5959, and from the meaning of 'wine' as the truth of good, thus the truth of the good of faith, dealt with in 1798, 6377; and from the meaning of 'not being slow', when it has reference to the good and truth of faith, as ascribing from affection, since that which is done not slowly but swiftly is done from love and affection, 7695, 7866. The reason why ascribing to the Lord is meant is that the firstfruits, like the firstborn also, were given to Jehovah, and by Jehovah to Aaron and his seed, 'Jehovah' being used in the Word to mean the Lord, 1736, 2921, 3023, 3035, 5663, 6303, 6945, 6956, 8274, 8864. Consequently since the firstfruits of grain and wine are forms of the good and the truths of faith, the meaning is that they are to be ascribed to the Lord since they come from Him. For the truth that everything composing a person's thought and will flows in, and the truth that all goodness and truth come from the Lord, see 2886-2888, 3142, 3147, 4151, 4249, 5119, 5147, 5150, 5259, 5482, 5649, 5779, 5854, 5893, 6027, 6982, 6985, 6996, 7004, 7055, 7056, 7058, 7270, 7343, 8321, 8685, 8701, 8717, 8728, 8823, 8864, 9110, 9111; and the same truths from experience, 6053-6058, 6189-6215, 6307-6327, 6466-6495, 6598-6626.

[2] The firstfruits that were to be offered to the Lord were the firstfruits of the harvest and the firstfruits of vintage, 1 also the firstfruits of shearing, and the firstfruits of fruit too. The firstfruits of the harvest were parched and fresh ears of grain, also a sheaf that was to be waved, and afterwards products of the threshing-floor, which were cakes, while the firstfruits of vintage were the firstfruits of wine, must, and oil. In addition to these there were the firstfruits of shearing the flock, and also the firstfruits of fruit, which were offered in a basket. In addition also all the firstborn were offered to the Lord, though the firstborn of human beings were redeemed, as also were the firstborn of animals that were not offered in sacrifices, such as those of asses, mules, horses, and the like. Firstfruits and firstborn were offered to Jehovah and were given by Jehovah to Aaron and his seed because Aaron and his sons, who served in the office of high priest, represented the Lord. In the present verse 'the firstfruits of grain and of wine' is used to mean all the firstfruits of harvest and vintage that have been referred to immediately above. For the words used in the original language are 'the fullness of grain' and 'the tear of wine', 'fullness' being the harvest when it has ripened and also been gathered in, and 'tears' drops of fluid that trickle down.

[3] What was represented specifically by firstfruits - for all the religious laws and practices which the Lord commanded the children of Israel represented internal aspects of the Church - becomes clear when the particular products whose firstfruits were offered are considered in the internal sense. 'Grain' means the good of faith and 'wine' the truth of faith, as may be seen in the places referred to above. Giving firstfruits to Jehovah was a sign that the ascription of every good and truth of faith to the Lord and not to self was the first thing of the Church. Ascribing them to the Lord consists in knowing, acknowledging, and believing that they spring from the Lord and in no way at all from self; for as shown above, faith comes entirely from the Lord. The reason why 'the firstfruits' have this meaning is that firstfruits were offerings and gifts which were thanksgivings for the fruits of the earth. They were the acknowledgement of blessings from Jehovah, that is, from the Lord, and therefore the acknowledgement that all things came from Him. In the internal sense they are the acknowledgement [that He is the Source] of every good and truth of faith, which are meant by harvest, grain, oil, must, wine, wool, and fruit, whose firstfruits were given. Regarding these 'firstfruits', see Exodus 23:19; 34:26; Leviticus 23:10-11, 20; Numbers 15:19-21; 18:12-13; Deuteronomy 18:4; 26:1-11; and 'firstfruits' have a similar meaning in Ezekiel 20:40 and Micah 7:1-2.
