利未记 10

Studie

   

1 亚伦的儿子拿答、亚比户各拿自己的香炉,盛上,加上香,在耶和华面前献上凡,是耶和华没有吩咐他们的,

2 就有耶和华面前出来,把他们烧灭,他们就耶和华面前。

3 於是摩西亚伦:这就是耶和华:我在亲近我的人中要显为;在众民面前,我要得荣耀。亚伦就默默不言。

4 摩西召了亚伦叔父乌薛的儿子米沙利、以利撒反来,对他们:上前来,把你们的亲属从所前抬到外。

5 於是二人上前来,把他们穿着袍子抬到外,是照摩西所吩咐的。

6 摩西亚伦和他儿子以利亚撒、以他玛:不可蓬散发,也不可撕裂衣裳,免得你们亡,又免得耶和华向会众发怒;只要你们的弟兄以色列全家为耶和华所发的火哀哭。

7 你们也不可出会幕,恐怕你们亡,因为耶和华的在你们的身上。他们就照摩西的行了。

8 耶和华晓谕亚伦

9 你和你儿子进会幕的时候,清酒、浓酒都不可,免得你们亡;这要作你们世世代永远的定例。

10 使你们可以将的、俗的,洁净的、不洁净的,分别出来;

11 又使你们可以将耶和华摩西晓谕以色列人的一切律例教训他们。

12 摩西亚伦和他下的儿子以利亚撒、以他玛:你们献给耶和华火祭中所的素祭,要在旁不带酵而,因为是至的。

13 你们要在圣处;因为在献给耶和华的火祭中,这是你的分和你儿子的分;所吩咐我的本是这样。

14 所摇的胸,所举的腿,你们要在洁净地方。你和你的儿女都要同;因为这些是从以色列人平安祭中你,当你的分和你儿子的分。

15 所举的腿,所摇的胸,他们要与火祭的脂油一同带来当摇祭,在耶和华面前摇一摇;这要归你和你儿子,当作永得的分,都是照耶和华所吩咐的。

16 当下摩西急切的寻找作赎祭的公山羊,谁知已经焚烧了,便向亚伦下的儿子以利亚撒、以他玛发怒,

17 这赎祭既是至的,了你们,为要你们担当会众的孽,在耶和华面前为他们赎,你们为何没有在呢?

18 看哪,这祭牲的血并没有拿到所里去,你们本当照我所吩咐的,在所里这祭肉。

19 亚伦摩西今天他们在耶和华面前献上赎祭和燔祭,我又遇见这样的灾,若今天吃了祭,耶和华岂能看为美呢?

20 摩西见这话,便以为美。

9375. 'Nadab and Abihu' means teachings derived from both senses. This is clear from the fact that they were Aaron's sons; therefore when the Word is meant by 'Aaron', teachings are meant by 'his sons', teachings derived from the inward sense of the Word being meant by the older son, and teachings derived from the outward sense of it by the younger. Teachings derived from the inward sense of the Word and teachings derived from the outward sense of the Word make one with each other; for people alert to what lies on an inward level are aware also of what lies on an outward level. The Lord's Church exists everywhere on an inward level and on an outward level. The Church on an inward level resides in the heart, the Church on an outward level resides on the lips; that is, the inward Church resides in the will, the outward in action. When the inward level in a person makes one with the outward what resides in the heart then lies also on the lips, or what resides in the will then lies in action. Or what amounts to the same thing, what lies on the lips is then the heart speaking, and what lies in action is then the will acting, without any disagreement between the inward and the outward. Thus it is also faith speaking and love or charity acting, that is, it is the Lord, who is the Source of faith and charity, speaking and acting.

[2] Since Nadab and Abihu, Aaron's sons, represented teachings derived from the Word, they were therefore killed when they introduced worship based on teachings different from those derived from the Word. This was represented by the following incident involving them, recorded in Moses,

Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu each took his censer and put fire in it, onto which they placed incense, and in so doing offered to Jehovah foreign 1 fire, which He had not commanded them. Therefore fire went out from before Jehovah and devoured them, so that they died before Jehovah. And Moses said to Aaron, This is what Jehovah spoke, saying, In those who are near Me 2 I will be sanctified. Leviticus 10:1-3.

'Foreign fire in the censer' means teachings derived from a source other than the Word. For 'fire' means the good of love and 'incense' the truth of faith rising from it, and the good of love and the truth of faith are the realities which go to make teachings derived from the Word. From this it is evident why they were devoured by fire 'from before Jehovah'. 'Being sanctified through those who are near' means with those who are joined to the Lord through the good of love and the truth of faith derived from the Word. For the meaning of 'fire' as the good of heavenly love, see 934, 4906, 5071 (end), 5215, 6314, 6832, 6834, 6849, 7324, 7852, 9055; and the meaning of 'incense' as faith rising from the good of love will be shown elsewhere.

934. 'Cold' means the absence of love, that is, of charity and faith, 'heat' or 'fire' the presence of love or of charity and faith. This becomes clear from the following places in the Word: In John, in the letter to the Church at Laodicea,

I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot! But because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot I will spew you out of My mouth. Revelation 7:15, 16.

Here 'cold' stands for no charity, 'hot' for much. In Isaiah,

Thus said Jehovah, I will be still and I will behold in My place; like clear heat on the light, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. Isaiah 18:4.

The subject here is a new Church that is to be founded. 'Heat on the light' and 'the heat of harvest' stand for love and charity. In the same prophet,

Jehovah's fire is in Zion, and His furnace in Jerusalem. Isaiah 3:9.

'Fire' stands for love. Concerning the cherubim seen by Ezekiel,

As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches, moving between the living creatures. And the five was bright and out of the fire went forth lightning. Ezekiel 1:13.

[2] And concerning the Lord in the same prophet,

Above the firmament that was above the heads of the cherubim, in appearance like a sapphire stone, there was the likeness of a throne, and above the likeness of a throne, there was a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it above. And I saw as it were the shape of fiery coals, as the shape of fire, within it round about, from the appearance of His loins upwards. And from the appearance of His loins and downwards I saw as it were the appearance of fire, whose brightness was round about it. Ezekiel 1:26-27; 8:2.

Here 'fire' stands for love. In Daniel,

The Ancient of Days was seated. His throne was flames of fire, its wheels were burning fire. A stream of fire issued and came forth from before Him, a thousand thousands served Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. Daniel 7:9-10.

'Fire' stands for the Lord's love. In Zechariah,

I will be to her, said Jehovah, a wall of fire round about. Zechariah 2:5.

This refers to the New Jerusalem. In David,

Jehovah makes winds His messengers, and flaming fire His ministers. Psalms 104:4.

'Flaming fire' stands for that which is celestial-spiritual.

[3] Because 'fire' meant love, fire also became a representative of the Lord. This is clear from 'the five on the altar of burnt offering that was to be kept burning all the time', Leviticus 6:9, 12-13, representing the Lord's mercy. For this reason 'before Aaron entered the place of atonement he had to burn incense with fire taken from the altar of burnt offering', Leviticus 16:12-14. And also, to signify that worship was acceptable to the Lord, 'fire was sent down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering', as in Leviticus 9:24, and elsewhere. In the Word 'fire' also means self-love and its attendant desire. With that love heavenly love can never agree; consequently it is also said that Aaron's two sons were devoured by fire because they employed strange fire, Leviticus 10:1-2. 'Strange fire' means all self-love and love of the world, and every desire accompanying those loves. In addition heavenly love seems to wicked people like nothing else than a burning and devouring fire; and this is why in the Word devouring fire is attributed to the Lord. The fire on Mount Sinai, for example, which represented the Lord's love or mercy, was perceived by the people as a consuming fire, as a consequence of which they told Moses not to make them hear the voice of Jehovah God, or see the great Fire lest they died, Deuteronomy 18:16. This is how the Lord's love or mercy appears to people engulfed in the fire of self-love and love of the world.
