Levitska 2

Studie

   

1 "Kad tko želi prinijeti Jahvi žrtvu prinosnicu, neka njegov dar bude od najboljeg brašna; neka ga polije uljem i na nj stavi tamjana.

2 Neka ga onda donese Aronovim sinovima, svećenicima. Zatim neka zagrabi šaku od toga brašna i ulja i sav tamjan, pa neka svećenik na žrtveniku to sažeže u kad za spomen-žrtvu. To je žrtva paljena Jahvi na ugodan miris.

3 A što od žrtve prinosnice ostane, neka pripadne Aronu i njegovim sinovima - najsvetije od žrtava Jahvi paljenih.

4 Ako za žrtvu prinosnicu želiš prinijeti tijesta pečena u peći, neka to budu beskvasne pogače od najboljeg brašna, zamiješene u ulju, ili beskvasne prevrte uljem namazane.

5 Ako tvoj dar bude žrtva prinosnica pečena na tavi, neka bude od najboljeg brašna, neukvasana i u ulju zamiješena.

6 U komade je izlomi i po njima ulja polij: žrtva je to prinosnica.

7 Bude li tvoja prinosnica kuhana u kotluši, neka bude od najboljeg brašna, pripravljena s uljem.

8 Donosi Jahvi žrtvu prinosnicu tako pripravljenu! Neka se preda svećeniku, a on će je polagati na žrtvenik.

9 Neka svećenik odvoji od žrtve prinosnice dio kao spomen-žrtvu, pa neka ga sažeže u kad na žrtveniku - kao žrtvu paljenu Jahvi na ugodan miris!

10 A što od žrtve prinosnice ostane, neka pripadne Aronu i njegovim sinovima - najsvetije od žrtava Jahvi paljenih.

11 Nikakva žrtva prinosnica koju budeš prinosio Jahvi neka ne bude priređivana s kvasom, jer ne smiješ u kad sažigati ni kvasa ni meda kao žrtvu paljenicu.

12 Prinosite ih Jahvi kao prvine plodova, ali neka se sa žrtvenika ne viju na ugodan miris.

13 Svaku svoju žrtvu prinosnicu posoli. Ne ostavljaj svoje žrtve prinosnice bez soli Saveza sa svojim Bogom: sa svakim svojim prinosom prinesi i sol.

14 Ako prinosiš Jahvi žrtvu prinosnicu od prvina, prinesi tu žrtvu od prvina svojih plodova u obliku klasa pržena na vatri ili brašna od samljevenog zrnja.

15 Dodaj još ulja i na nju stavi tamjana. To je žrtva prinosnica.

16 Onda neka svećenik sažeže u kad za spomen-žrtvu dio kruha i ulja i sav tamjan kao žrtvu Jahvi paljenu."

468. And his feet like pillars of fire. This symbolizes the Lord's Divinity on the natural plane in respect to His Divine love, which sustains all things.

This, too, is apparent, from the explanation in no. 49 above, where it is said of the Son of Man that "His feet were like fine brass, as though fired in a furnace."

The angel's feet looked like pillars of fire because the Lord's Divinity on the natural plane - which fundamentally is the Divine humanity that He took on in the world - supports His Divinity from eternity, as the body does the soul, and likewise as the Word's natural meaning supports its spiritual and celestial meanings, on which subject see The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Regarding the Sacred Scripture, nos. 27-49. To be shown that feet symbolize something natural, see no. 49, and a pillar something that supports, no. 191.

Fire symbolizes love because spiritual fire is nothing else. Therefore it is customary in worship to pray that heavenly fire, that is to say, heavenly love, may kindle the worshipers' hearts. People know that there is a correspondence between fire and love from the fact that a person grows warm with love, and cold with its loss. Nothing else produces vital warmth but love, in both senses. The origin of these correspondences is owing to the existence of two suns, one in the heavens, which is pure love, and the other in the world, which is nothing but fire. This, too, is the reason for the correspondence between all spiritual and natural things.

[2] Since fire symbolizes Divine love, therefore on Mount Horeb Jehovah appeared to Moses in a bush on fire (Exodus 3:1-3). Moreover He descended upon Mount Sinai in fire (Deuteronomy 4:36). For this reason, too, the seven lamps of the lampstand in the Tabernacle were lit every evening, so as to burn before Jehovah (Leviticus 24:2-4). For the same reason fire burned continually on the altar and was not extinguished (Leviticus 6:13), and the priests took fire from the altar in their censers and burned incense (Leviticus 16:12-13).

Therefore Jehovah went before the children of Israel by night in a pillar of fire (Exodus 13:21-22). Fire from heaven consumed the burnt offerings on the altar, as a sign of His being well pleased (Leviticus 9:24, 1 Kings 18:38). The burnt offerings were called offerings by fire to Jehovah, and offerings by fire for a restful aroma to Jehovah (Exodus 29:18; Leviticus 1:9, 13, 17; 2:2, 9-11; 3:5, 16; 4:35; 5:12; 7:30; 21:6; Numbers 28:2; Deuteronomy 18:1).

Therefore in the book of Revelation the Lord's eyes looked like a flame of fire (Revelation 1:14; 2:18; 19:12, cf. Daniel 10:5-6). And seven lamps of fire burned before the throne (Revelation 4:5).

It is apparent from this what lamps containing oil and lamps without oil symbolize (Matthew 25:1-11). The oil means fire, and thus love.

And so on in many other places.

In an opposite sense fire symbolizes hellish love, and this is plain from so many passages in the Word that it would be impossible to cite them all because of their number. See something on the subject in the book Heaven and Hell, published in London, nos. 566-575.
