利未記 4

Studie

   

1 耶和華摩西

2 你曉諭以色列人:若有人在耶和華所吩咐不可行的甚麼事上誤犯了件,

3 或是受膏的祭司犯,使百姓陷在裡,就當為他所犯的把沒有殘疾的公牛犢獻給耶和華為贖祭。

4 他要牽公牛到會幕口,在耶和華面前按在牛的上,把牛宰於耶和華面前。

5 受膏的祭司要取些公牛的血會幕

6 把指頭蘸於血中,在耶和華面前對著所的幔子彈血次,

7 又要把些血抹在會幕內、耶和華面前的四角上,再把公牛所有的血倒在會幕口、燔祭壇的腳那裡。

8 要把贖祭公牛所有的脂油,乃是蓋臟的脂油和臟上所有的脂油,

9 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,

10 與平安祭公牛上所取的一樣;祭司要把這些燒在燔祭的上。

11 公牛的和所有的,並、臟、腑、糞,

12 就是全公牛,要搬到外潔淨之地、倒灰之所,用燒在柴上。

13 以色列會眾若行了耶和華所吩咐不可行的甚麼事,誤犯了罪,是隱而未現,會眾看不出來的,

14 會眾知道所犯的就要獻一隻公牛犢為贖祭,牽到會幕前。

15 會中的長老就要在耶和華面前按在牛的上,將牛在耶和華面前宰了。

16 受膏的祭司要取些公牛的血會幕

17 把指頭蘸於血中,在耶和華面前對著幔子彈血次,

18 又要把些血抹在會幕內、耶和華面前的四角上,再把所有的血倒在會幕口、燔祭壇的腳那裡。

19 把牛所有的脂油都取下,燒在上;

20 收拾這牛,與那贖祭的牛一樣。祭司要為他們贖,他們必蒙赦免。

21 他要把牛搬到外燒了,像燒頭一個牛一樣;這是會眾的贖祭。

22 官長若行了耶和華─他所吩咐不可行的甚麼事,誤犯了罪,

23 所犯的自己知道了,就要牽一隻沒有殘疾的公山羊為供物,

24 在羊的上,宰於耶和華面前、宰燔祭牲的地方;這是贖祭。

25 祭司要用指頭蘸些贖祭牲的血,抹在燔祭壇的四角上,把血倒在燔祭壇的腳那裡。

26 所有的脂油,祭司都要燒在上,正如平安祭的脂油一樣。至於他的,祭司要為他贖了,他必蒙赦免。

27 民中若有人行了耶和華所吩咐不可行的甚麼事,誤犯了罪,

28 所犯的自己知道了,就要為所犯的牽一隻沒有殘疾的母山羊為供物,

29 在贖祭牲的上,在那宰燔祭牲的地方宰了。

30 祭司要用指頭蘸些羊的血,抹在燔祭壇的四角上,所有的血都要倒在的腳那裡,

31 又要把羊所有的脂油都取下,正如取平安祭牲的脂油一樣。祭司要在上焚燒,在耶和華面前作為馨的祭,為他贖罪,他必蒙赦免。

32 人若牽一隻綿羊羔為贖祭的供物,必要牽一隻沒有殘疾的母羊,

33 在贖祭牲的上,在那宰燔祭牲的地方宰了作贖祭。

34 祭司要用指頭蘸些贖祭牲的血,抹在燔祭壇的四角上,所有的血都要倒在的腳那裡,

35 又要把所有的脂油都取下,正如取平安祭羊羔的脂油一樣。祭司要按獻給耶和華火祭的條例,燒在上。至於所犯的,祭司要為他贖了,他必蒙赦免。

9938. 'Which the children of Israel shall sanctify, even in all their gifts of holy things' means acts of worship representative of removal from sins. This is clear from the meaning of 'gifts' - or presents, which among the Israelite and Jewish nation were primarily burnt offerings, sacrifices, and minchahs - as the inner realities of acts of worship; for those realities were represented by these acts. The inner realities of worship are the fruits of love and faith; they are therefore pardonings of sins, that is, removals from them, since faith and love are the means by which the Lord moves sins away. For in the measure that the good of love and faith comes in, or what amounts to the same thing, heaven comes in, sins are removed, that is, hell is removed - the hell within the person as well as the hell outside him. From this it is evident what should be understood by the gifts which they made holy, that is, offered. The gifts were called holy, and giving or offering them was called sanctifying them, because they represented holy realities. For they were offered to expiate people, thus to remove them from their sins, which is accomplished by means of faith in and love to the Lord received from the Lord.

[2] Gifts and presents were said to be made to Jehovah, though Jehovah, that is, the Lord, is not the receiver of gifts or presents, but the giver of them, freely to everyone. Even so, His will is that they should come from a person as though they did so from that person himself, provided the person acknowledges that they do not actually come from him but from the Lord. For the Lord imparts a desire to do good because he loves it, and a desire to speak the truth because he believes it. The actual desire flows in from the Lord, yet appears to be inherent in the person and so to flow from the person. For whatever a person does out of love and desire for it, he does from his life, love being what composes anyone's life. From this it is evident that the things that are called gifts and presents made to the Lord by a person are essentially gifts and presents made to a person by the Lord, and that they are called gifts and presents on account of what they appear to be. All who are wise at heart recognize this appearance, but not so the simple. Yet their gifts and presents are acceptable, so far as they are made in ignorance that has innocence within it. Innocence is the good of love to God, and dwells within ignorance, especially with the wise at heart. Those who are wise at heart know, indeed perceive, that nothing whatever of the wisdom within themselves originates in themselves, but that the all of wisdom is attributable to the Lord, that is, the all of the good of love and the all of the truth of faith are attributable to Him, and that for this reason even with the wise innocence dwells in ignorance. From this it is evident that the acknowledgement of this matter, and especially the perception of it, constitutes the innocence of wisdom.

[3] The gifts offered in the Jewish Church, which were primarily burnt offerings, sacrifices, and minchahs, were also spoken of as offerings made for the expiations of sins; for they were offered for the sake of being pardoned from sins, that is, being removed from them. Those who belonged to that Church also thought that sins were pardoned, indeed completely taken away, by means of these offerings; for it is said of people who have offered them that they will be pardoned, see Leviticus 4:26, 31, 35; 5:6, 10, 13, 16, 18; 6:7; 9:7; 15:15, 30. But they were unaware of the fact that their gifts represented more internal things, thus the kinds of things that are done by a person from love and faith received from the Lord; that these are what expiate, that is, remove sins; and that when they have been removed they appear to have been completely removed or banished, as has been shown above in the present paragraph and the one before it. The worship of that nation was representative, and so was external devoid of anything internal; and it was by means of this worship that heaven was joined to mankind, in those times, see the places referred to in 9320 (end), 9380.
