Levitska 5

Studie

   

1 "Zgriješi li tko tako što čuje riječi proklinjanja a odbije da svjedoči iako je mogao biti svjedokom jer je ili sam vidio ili doznao pa tako nosi krivnju na sebi;

2 ili ako tko dirne kakav nečist predmet, strv nečiste zvijeri, strv nečista živinčeta ili strv nečista puzavca - i u neznanju postane nečist i odgovoran;

3 ili kad se tko dotakne nečistoće čovječje, bilo to što mu drago od čega se nečistim postaje i toga ne bude svjestan, kad dozna, biva odgovoran;

4 nadalje, kad tko nepromišljeno izusti zakletvu na dobro ili zlo - na što se već čovjek nepromišljeno zaklinje - i toga ne bude svjestan, onda, kad dozna, biva odgovoran;

5 ako, dakle, tko postane odgovoran u bilo čemu od toga, neka prizna počinjeni grijeh.

6 I neka prinese Jahvi kao žrtvu naknadnicu za počinjeni grijeh jednu ženku od sitne stoke, janje ili kozle, kao žrtvu okajnicu. Neka svećenik izvrši nad njim obred pomirenja koji će ga osloboditi od njegova grijeha."

7 "Ako mu sredstva ne dopuštaju da pribavi glavu sitne stoke, neka Jahvi, kao naknadnicu za počinjeni grijeh, prinese dvije grlice ili dva golubića; jedno kao žrtvu okajnicu, a drugo kao žrtvu paljenicu.

8 Neka ih donese svećeniku, a on neka najprije prinese ono što je određeno kao žrtva okajnica. Stisnuvši ga za vrat, neka mu slomi šiju, ali neka glave ne otkida.

9 Neka krvlju žrtve poškropi žrtvenik sa strane, a ostatak krvi neka se iscijedi podno žrtvenika. To je žrtva okajnica.

10 Onda neka drugo prinese kao žrtvu paljenicu prema propisu. Neka tako svećenik nad tim čovjekom izvrši obred pomirenja za grijeh koji je počinio, i bit će mu oprošteno.

11 Ako mu sredstva ne dopuštaju da pribavi dvije grlice ili dva golubića, neka Jahvi, u zadovoljštinu za počinjeni grijeh, prinese jednu desetinu efe njaboljeg brašna. Ulja u nj neka ne ulijeva niti na nj tamjana stavlja jer je žrtva okajnica.

12 Kada to donese svećeniku, neka svećenik zagrabi punu pregršt kao spomen-žrtvu i na žrtveniku sažeže u čast Jahvi povrh paljenih žrtava. To je žrtva okajnica.

13 Neka tako svećenik izvrši nad tim čovjekom obred pomirenja za grijeh koji je počinio u bilo kojem od tih slučajeva, pa će mu biti oprošteno. Ono ostalo neka pripadne svećeniku kao i od žrtve prinosnice."

14 Još reče Jahve Mojsiju:

15 "Ako tko počini pronevjerenje ogriješivši se nehotično o svete stvari Jahvine, neka za naknadu, kao žrtvu naknadnicu, prinese Jahvi, iz svoga stada, ovna bez mane, vrijedna - po tvojoj procjeni - najmanje dva šekela srebra - prema cijeni hramskog šekela.

16 Neka nadoknadi koliko se ogriješio o svete stvari i tome doda još petinu i neka dadne svećeniku. Neka svećenik nad njim izvrši obred pomirenja ovnom žrtve naknadnice, i bit će mu oprošteno.

17 Ako tko i ne znajući pogriješi i učini štogod što je Jahve zabranio, kriv je, pa neka snosi posljedice svoje krivnje.

18 Neka svećeniku dovede za naknadnicu iz svoga stada ovna bez mane, prema tvojoj procjeni. Neka svećenik nad tim čovjekom izvrši obred pomirenja za pogrešku što je počinio u neznanju, i bit će mu oprošteno.

19 To je žrtva naknadnica; on je doista bio odgovoran Jahvi."

20 Jahve još reče Mojsiju:

21 "Kad se tko ogriješi i počini pronevjeru prema Jahvi prevarivši svoga bližnjega u pologu ili pohrani, a tako i krađom ili iskorištavanjem svoga bližnjega;

22 ili, nađe li što je bilo izgubljeno pa slaže i krivo se zakune u bilo kojem grijehu što ga čovjek može učiniti;

23 ako tko tako pogriješi i kriv postane, onda ono što je krađom oduzeo ili što je iskorištavanjem namakao; ili polog što mu je bio povjeren; ili izgubljenu stvar što ju je našao;

24 ili ono za što se bio krivo zakleo - neka u cijelosti vrati i, dodavši tome petinu, neka dadne onome kome pripada istoga dana kad spozna svoju krivnju.

25 Neka potom svećeniku za naknadu, kao žrtvu naknadnicu Jahvi, dovede iz svog stada jednoga ovna bez mane, prema tvojoj procjeni,

26 a svećenik neka nad tim čovjekom izvrši obred pomirenja pred Jahvom, i bit će mu oprošteno, ma kakvo bilo nedjelo kojega je krivac."

643. As for the meaning itself of these expressions - that 'planks of gopher' means lusts and 'rooms' the two parts of this man - this becomes clear from the Word. Gopher is a wood full of sulphur, as is the fir and others of that group. It is on account of the sulphur in it that it is said to mean lusts, for it catches fire easily. The most ancient people compared and likened those elements that exist with man to gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone, and wood, his inmost celestial to gold, the lower celestial to bronze, and the lowest or bodily descending from this to wood, while the inmost spiritual they compared and likened to silver, the lower spiritual to iron, and the lowest degree of it to stone. When those objects are mentioned in the Word these are the things meant by them in the internal sense, as in Isaiah,

Instead of bronze I will bring gold, and instead of iron I will bring silver, and instead of wood, bronze, and instead of stones, iron. And I will make peace your assessment and righteousness your tax-collectors. Isaiah 60:17.

This refers to the Lord's kingdom in which no such metals exist, but instead celestial and spiritual elements. It is quite clear that the latter are meant because of the reference to peace' and 'righteousness'. Here, gold, bronze, and wood correspond to one another and mean celestial elements or those belonging to the will, as has been stated. Silver, iron, and stone also correspond to one another, and mean spiritual elements or those belonging to the understanding.

[2] In Ezekiel,

They will spoil your riches, they will despoil your merchandise, your stones and your timbers. Ezekiel 26:12.

It is quite clear that 'riches' and 'merchandise' do not mean material riches and merchandise, but celestial and spiritual ones. So also 'stones' and 'timbers' - 'stones' being things of the understanding and 'timbers' those of the will. In Habakkuk,

The stone cries out from the wall, and the beam out of the woodwork answers back. Habakkuk 2:11.

'Stone' stands for the lowest degree of the understanding, and 'wood' for the lowest degree of the will, which answers back when anything is drawn from sensory knowledge. In the same prophet,

Woe to him who says to a piece of wood, Awake! or to a dumb stone, Arise, this will teach! Behold, this is bound in gold and silver, and there is no spirit 1 at all in the midst of it. But Jehovah is in His holy temple. Habakkuk 2:19-20.

Here also 'wood' stands for evil desire, 'stone' for the lowest degree of the understanding, and therefore 'being dumb' and 'teaching' are used in reference to that stone. 'No spirit in the midst of it' means that it represents nothing celestial or spiritual, like a temple in which there is stone and wood, overlaid with gold and silver, existing with people who give no thought to what those things represent.

[3] In Jeremiah,

Our waters we drink for silver, our timbers come for a price. Lamentations 5:4.

Here 'waters' and 'silver' mean things of the understanding, 'timbers' those of the will. In the same prophet,

Who say to wood, You are my father; and to a stone, You gave birth to us. Jeremiah 2:27.

Here 'wood' stands for desire which belongs to the will, from which there is conception, and 'stone' for sensory knowledge, from which there is birth. All through the Prophets therefore 'serving wood and stone' stands for images carved out of wood or stone, which means that people were slaves to evil desires and to delusions. The Prophets also speak of 'committing adultery with wood and stone', as in Jeremiah 3:9. In Hosea,

The people inquire of their piece of wood, and their staff makes declaration to them, for the spirit of whoredom has led them astray. Hosea 4:12.

This stands for their inquiring of a wooden image, or evil desires. In Isaiah,

The tophet has been prepared since yesterday. Its pyre is fire and much wood; the breath of Jehovah is like a stream of burning brimstone. Isaiah 30:33.

Here 'fire', brimstone', and 'wood' stand for filthy desires.

[4] In general 'wood' means those elements which constitute the lowest parts of the will. Precious kinds of wood, such as cedar and so on, mean elements that are good - for example, the cedar timbers in the Temple, or the cedarwood used in cleansing leprosy, Leviticus 14:4, 6-7, or the wood cast into the bitter waters at Marah, by which the waters were made sweet, Exodus 15:25. These in the Lord's Divine mercy will be dealt with in their proper places. Non-precious kinds of wood however, also those which were made into images, and those that were used for a pyre as well, and the like, mean evil desires, as do planks of gopher here on account of the brimstone or sulphur in them. As in Isaiah,

The day of Jehovah's vengeance - her streams will be turned into pitch, and her dust into brimstone, and her land will become burning pitch. Isaiah 34:8-9.

'Pitch' stands for dreadful delusions, 'brimstone' for filthy desires.
