Levitska 6

Studie

   

1 Jahve još reče Mojsiju:

2 "Naredi Aronu i njegovim sinovima: 'Ovakav je obred za žrtvu paljenicu: žrtva paljenica neka ostane na žeravi na žrtveniku svu noć do jutra; i vatra neka neprestano gori na žrtveniku.

3 Neka svećenik stavi na se lanenu košulju, na svoje tijelo neka navuče lanene gaće; zatim neka zgrne zamašćeni pepeo u što je vatra pretvorila žrtvu paljenicu na žrtveniku i neka ga stavi pokraj žrtvenika.

4 Potom neka svuče svoje ruho i na se obuče drugo te neka odnese zamašćeni pepeo na čisto mjesto izvan tabora.

5 Vatra na žrtveniku mora uvijek gorjeti; ne smije se gasiti. Neka svako jutro svećenik na nju naloži drva i onda na nju naslaže žrtvu paljenicu. Tu neka u kad sažiže loj sa žrtava pričesnica.

6 Neka na žrtveniku trajno gori vatra; neka se ne gasi.'"

7 "Ovo je obred za žrtvu prinosnicu: neka je Aronovi sinovi pronose u nazočnosti Jahve pred žrtvenikom.

8 Pošto jedan od njih zagrabi pregršt najboljeg brašna i ulja sa žrtve prinosnice i sav tamjan što bude na njoj, pošto to sažeže na žrtveniku kao spomen-žrtvu, ugodan miris Jahvi,

9 neka ostatak u obliku beskvasnih kruhova pojedu Aron i njegovi sinovi; neka ga jedu na posvećenu mjestu - u dvorištu Šatora sastanka.

10 Neka se ne peče s kvascem. To je dio žrtava meni paljenih što im ga ja dajem - dio najsvetiji, jednako kao i žrtva okajnica i kao žrtva naknadnica.

11 Svaki muškarac Aronova potomstva može jesti taj dio od žrtava paljenih Jahvi, i to je vječni zakon za sve vaše naraštaje: i tko ih se god dotakne, bit će posvećen."

12 Jahve još reče Mojsiju:

13 "Neka Aron i njegovi sinovi na dan svoga pomazanja prinesu Jahvi ovaj prinos: desetinu efe najboljeg brašna kao redovitu žrtvu prinosnicu, polovinu ujutro, a polovinu uvečer.

14 Neka bude pripravljena u tavi na ulju. Donesi je dobro namočenu i prinesi Jahvi kao ugodan miris, kao žrtvu prinosnicu od više komada.

15 Neka je tako pripravi svećenik koji od njegovih sinova bude pomazan da ga naslijedi. To je vječni zakon. Neka se ta žrtva Jahvi sva sažeže!

16 Svaka svećenička žrtva prinosnica treba da bude posve spaljena; neka se od nje ne jede."

17 Još reče Jahve Mojsiju:

18 "Kaži Aronu i njegovim sinovima: 'Ovo je obred žrtvovanja za grijeh: žrtva okajnica neka se zakolje pred Jahvom na mjestu gdje se kolje žrtva paljenica - presveta je!

19 Svećenik koji prinosi tu žrtvu okajnicu neka od nje i jede; neka se ona jede na posvećenu mjestu, u dvorištu Šatora sastanka.

20 Tko se god dotakne njezina mesa bit će posvećen; ako krv poštrapa odijelo, poštrapani dio neka se ispere na posvećenu mjestu.

21 A posuda od ilovače u kojoj bude meso kuhano neka se razbije; a ako bude kuhano u posudi od tuča, neka se istare i vodom ispere.

22 Svaki muški od svećeničke loze može od nje jesti - presveta je!

23 Ali nijedna žrtva okajnica od koje je krv donesena u Šator sastanka za obred pomirenja u Svetištu neka se ne jede, nego na vatri spali.'"

Apocalypse Revealed # 468

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.
