利未記 2

Studie

   

1 若有人獻素祭為供物給耶和華,要用細麵澆上,加上乳香,

2 亞倫子孫作祭司的那裡;祭司就要從細麵中取出一把來,並取些和所有的乳,然後要把所取的這些作為紀念,燒在上,是獻與耶和華為馨的火祭。

3 素祭所的要歸給亞倫和他的子孫;這是獻與耶和華的火祭中為至的。

4 若用爐中烤的物為素祭,就要用調無酵細麵餅,或是抹無酵薄餅。

5 若用鐵鏊上做的物為素祭,就要用調無酵細麵,

6 分成塊子,澆上;這是素祭。

7 若用煎盤做的物為素祭,就要用與細麵作成。

8 要把這些東西做的素祭耶和華面前,並奉給祭司,前。

9 祭司要從素祭中取出作為紀念的,燒在上,是獻與耶和華為馨的火祭。

10 素祭所的要歸給亞倫和他的子孫。這是獻與耶和華的火祭中為至的。

11 凡獻給耶和華的素祭都不可有;因為你們不可燒一點、一點蜜當作火祭獻給耶和華

12 這些物要獻給耶和華作為初熟的供物,只是不可在上獻為馨的祭。

13 凡獻為素祭的供物都要用調和,在素祭上不可缺了你立約的。一切的供物都要配而獻。

14 若向耶和華獻初熟之物為素祭,要獻上烘了的禾穗子,就是軋了的新穗子,當作初熟之物的素祭。

15 並要抹上,加上乳香;這是素祭。

16 祭司要把其中作為紀念的,就是一些軋了的禾穗子和一些,並所有的乳香,都焚燒,是向耶和華獻的火祭。

Oil

  
jug of oil and olives

Oil -- typically olive oil -- symbolizes the good that comes from celestial love. Celestial love is love of the Lord, the highest and purest love we can have. The good of celestial love is the desire to be good springing from celestial love: Wanting to do the Lord's will because you love Him. That's not a state many reach, even in heaven, but it's a beautiful goal. This representation makes sense based on the idea that the sun -- the source of all natural light and heat, and thus all natural life -- represents the Lord, the source of all spiritual light, heat and life. Burning oil was the most pure fire available in Biblical times, thus the closest representation of the sun people could create.
