利未記 3

Studie

   

1 人獻供物為平安祭(平安:或作酬恩;下同),若是從牛群中獻,無論是公的是母的,必用沒有殘疾的獻在耶和華面前。

2 他要按在供物的上,宰於會幕口。亞倫子孫作祭司的,要把血灑在的周圍。

3 從平安祭中,將火祭獻給耶和華,也要把蓋臟的脂油和臟上所有的脂油,

4 並兩個腰子和腰子上的脂油,就是靠腰兩旁的脂油,與上的網子和腰子,一概取下。

5 亞倫的子孫要把這些燒在的燔祭上,就是在的柴上,是獻與耶和華為馨祭。

6 人向耶和華獻供物為平安祭,若是從羊群中獻,無論是公的是母的,必用沒有殘疾的。

7 若獻一隻羊羔為供物,必在耶和華面前獻上,

8 並要按在供物的上,宰於會幕前。亞倫的子孫要把血灑在的周圍。

9 從平安祭中,將火祭獻給耶和華,其中的脂油和整肥尾巴都要在靠近脊骨處取下,並要把蓋臟的脂油和臟上所有的脂油,

10 兩個腰子和腰子上的脂油,就是靠腰兩旁的脂油,並上的網子和腰子,一概取下。

11 祭司要在上焚燒,是獻給耶和華為食物的火祭。

12 人的供物若是山羊,必在耶和華面前獻上。

13 要按在山羊上,宰於會幕前。亞倫的子孫要把血灑在的周圍,

14 又把蓋臟的脂油和臟上所有的脂油,兩個腰子和腰子上的脂油,就是靠腰兩旁的脂油,並肝上的網子和腰子,一概取下,獻給耶和華為火祭。

15 a

16 祭司要在上焚燒,作為馨火祭的食物。脂油都是耶和華的

17 在你們一切的處,脂油和血都不可;這要成為你們世世代永遠的定例。

Aaron

The Third Plague of Egypt, by William de Brailes, illustrates the flies, or gnats, rising from the dust.

This page from Walters manuscript W.106 depicts a scene from Exodus, in which God rained plagues upon Egypt. After plagues of blood and frogs, Pharaoh hardened his heart again and would not let the Israelites leave Egypt. God told Moses to tell Aaron to stretch forth his rod and strike the dust of the earth that it may become gnats throughout the land of Egypt. Here, Moses, horned (a sign of his encounter with divinity), carries the rod, while Aaron, wearing the miter of a priest, stands behind him. The gnats arise en masse out of the dust from which they were made and attack Pharaoh, seated and crowned, and his retinue.

Aaron was the brother of Moses. He symbolizes two things, at different stages of the story.

During the first part of the exodus, when he was Moses' spokesperson, Moses represents the Word as it truly is, as it is understood in heaven, while Aaron represents the Word in its external sense, as it is understood by people in the world. This is why Aaron talks for Moses, and the Lord says of him "he shall be as a mouth for you, and you shall be to him as God." (Exodus 4:16)

Later, after the Tabernacle was built and he was inaugurated as high priest (see Leviticus 8,9), Aaron represents the Lord as to the Divine Good, and Moses represents the Lord as to the Divine Truth.

In Exodus 28:1, Aaron signifies the conjunction of Divine Good with Divine Truth in the Divine Human of the Lord. (Arcana Coelestia 9806, 9936)

In Exodus 32:1, Aaron represents the external of the Word, of the church, and of worship, separate from the internal. (Arcana Coelestia 10397)

In Exodus 4:14, before he was initiated into the priesthood, Aaron represents the doctrine of good and truth. (Arcana Coelestia 6998)
