民数记 8

Studie

   

1 耶和华晓谕摩西

2 告诉亚伦:点的时候,都要向台前面发

3 亚伦便这样行。他点台上的,使向前发,是照耶和华所吩咐摩西的

4 台的作法是用子锤出来的,连座带都是锤出来的。摩西制造台,是照耶和华所指示的样式。

5 耶和华晓谕摩西

6 你从以色列人中选出利未人来,洁净他们。

7 洁净他们当这样行:用除弹在他们身上,又叫他们用剃头刀刮全身,洗衣服,洁净自己。

8 然後叫他们取一只公牛犊,并同献的素祭,就是调的细面;你要另取一只公牛犊作赎祭。

9 将利未人奉到会幕前,招聚以色列会众

10 将利未人奉到耶和华面前,以色列人要按在他们头上。

11 亚伦也将他们奉到耶和华面前,为以色列人当作摇祭,使他们好办耶和华的事。

12 利未人要按在那两只牛的上;你要将只作赎祭,只作燔祭,献给耶和华,为利未人赎

13 你也要使利未人站在亚伦和他儿子面前,将他们当作摇祭奉给耶和华

14 这样,你从以色列人中将利未人分别出来,利未人便要归我。

15 利未人要进去办会幕的事,你要洁净他们,将他们当作摇祭奉上;

16 因为他们是从以色列人中全然我的,我拣选他们归我,是代替以色列人中一切头生的。

17 以色列人中一切头生的,连人带牲畜,都是我的。我在埃及击杀一切头生的那,将他们分别为归我。

18 我拣选利未人代替以色列人中一切头生的。

19 我从以色列人中将利未人当作赏赐亚伦和他的儿子,在会幕中办以色列人的事,又为以色列人赎罪,免得他们挨所,有灾殃临到他们中间

20 摩西亚伦,并以色列全会众便向利未人如此行。凡耶和华指着利未人所吩咐摩西的以色列人就向他们这样行。

21 於是利未人洁净自己,除了罪,洗了衣服亚伦将他们当作摇祭奉到耶和华面前,又为他们赎罪,洁净他们。

22 利未人进去,在亚伦和他儿子面前,在会幕中办事。耶和华指着利未人怎样吩咐摩西,以色列人就怎样向他们行了。

23 耶和华晓谕摩西

24 利未人是这样:从二十五岁以外,他们要前任职,办会幕的事。

25 到了五十岁要停工退任,不再办事,

26 只要在会幕里,和他们的弟兄一同伺候,谨守所吩咐的,不再办事了。至於所吩咐利未人的,你要这样向他们行。

Gold

Gold means good, and just as gold was the most precious metal known to ancient mankind so it represents the good of the highest and wisest of the angels. These angels foremostly love the Lord, and because they do they act from that love at all times. So the things they do are from love or as the writings for the new church often say, their acts are "goods of love". This is what gold represents. As soon as God planted the garden of Eden, He created a river in it, to water it. This river went out and branched into four, the first branch mentioned, Pishon, encompassed the "…land of Havilah, where there is gold… and the gold…is good". Another mention of gold comes in Exodus where the Lord is telling Moses how to make the Tabernacle. If you pay attention you will see that inside the tabernacle the main thing you see is gold, the boards of the wall are covered with it and all the furniture is either wood covered completely with gold, or is made of solid gold. Then at the end of the Word the holy city descends from God and it is made of gold, "gold like unto clear glass" good of love that can be clearly and completely understood. And it has its river. This is a promise from the Lord that we can come into a state similar to that of the garden of Eden, if we follow Him so as to come into love for Him, and act from that love.
