Tredje Mosebog 22

Studie

   

1 HE EN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

2 Sig til Aron og hans Sønner, at de skal behandle Israeliternes Helliggaver, som de helliger mig, med Erefrygt, for at de ikke skal vanhellige mit hellige Navn. Jeg er HE EN!

3 Sig til dem: Enhver af alle eders Efterkommere, som i de kommende Slægter i uren Tilstand kommer de Helliggaver nær, Israeliterne helliger HE EN, det Menneske skal udryddes fra mit Åsyn. Jeg er HE EN!

4 Ingen af Arons Efterkommere, der er spedalsk eller lider af Flåd, må spise noget af Helliggaverne, før han bliver ren; den, der rører ved en, som er uren ved Lig, eller den, fra hvem der går Sæd,

5 eller den, der rører ved noget Slags Kryb, ved hvilket man bliver uren, eller ved et Menneske, ved hvem man bliver uren, af hvad Art hans Urenhed være kan,

6 enhver, der rører ved noget sådant, skal være uren til Aften og må ikke spise af Helliggaverne, før han har badet sit Legeme i Vand.

7 Når Solen går ned, er han ren, og derefter må han spise af Helliggaverne, thi de er hans Mad.

8 Selvdøde og sønderrevne Dyr må han ikke spise for ikke at gøre sig uren derved. Jeg er HE EN!

9 De skal overholde mine Forskrifter, at de ikke skal pådrage sig Synd og derfor, fordi de vanhelliger det. Jeg er HE EN, som helliger dem.

10 Ingen Lægmand må spise af det hellige; hverken den indvandrede hos Præsten eller hans Daglejer må spise af det hellige.

11 Men når en Præst for sine Penge køber sig en Træl, da må denne spise deraf, og ligeledes må hans hjemmefødte Trælle spise af hans Mad.

12 Når en Præstedatter ægter en Lægmand, må hun ikke spise af de ydede Helliggaver;

13 men når en Præstedatter bliver Enke eller forstødes uden at have Børn og vender tilbage til sin Faders Hus og er der som i sine unge År, da må hun spise af sin Faders Mad. Men ingen Lægmand må spise deraf.

14 Når nogen af Vanvare kommer til at spise af det hellige, skal han erstatte Præsten det hellige med Tillæg af en Femtedel.

15 Præsterne må ikke vanhellige de Helliggaver, Israeliterne yder HE EN,

16 og således bringe Brøde og Skyld over dem, når de spiser deres Helliggaver; thi jeg er HE EN, som helliger dem.

17 HE EN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

18 Tal til Aron og hans Sønner og alle Israeliterne og sig til dem: Om nogen af Israels Hus eller af de fremmede i Israel bringer sin Offergave, hvad enten det er deres Løfteoffer eller Frivilligoffer, de bringer HE EN som Brændoffer,

19 så skal I bringe dem således, at I kan vinde Guds Velbehag, et lydefrit Handyr af Hornkvæget, Fårene eller Gederne;

20 I må ikke ofre noget Dyr, der har en Legemsfejl, thi derved vinder I ikke eders Guds Velbehag.

21 Når nogen bringer HE EN et Takoffer af Hornkvæget eller Småkvæget enten for at indfri et Løfte eller som Frivilligoffer, da skal det være et lydefrit Dyr, for at det kan vinde Guds Velbehag; det må ingen som helst Legemsfejl have;

22 et blindt Dyr eller et Dyr med Brud på Lemmerne eller et såret Dyr eller et Dyr, der lider af Bylder, Skab eller ingorm, sådanne Dyr må I ikke bringe HE EN, og I må ikke lægge noget Ildoffer af den Slags på Alteret for HE EN.

23 Et Stykke Hornkvæg eller Småkvæg med en for lang eller forkrøblet Legemsdel kan du bruge som Frivillig offer, men som Løfteoffer vinder det ikke Guds Velbehag.

24 Dyr med udklemte, knuste, afrevne eller bortskårne Testikler må I ikke bringe HE EN; således må I ikke bære eder ad i eders Land.

25 Heller ikke må I af en Udlænding købe den Slags Dyr og ofre dem som eders Guds Spise, thi de har en Lyde, de har en Legemsfejl; ved dem vinder I ikke Guds Velbehag.

26 HE EN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

27 Når der fødes et Stykke Hornkvæg, et Får eller en Ged, skal de blive syv Dage hos Moderen; men fra den ottende Dag er de skikkede til at vinde HE ENs Velbehag som Ildoffergave til HE EN.

28 I må ikke slagte et Stykke Hornkvæg eller Småkvæg samme Dag som dets Afkom.

29 Når I ofrer et Lovprisningsoffer til HE EN, skal I ofre det således, at det kan vinde eder Guds Velbehag.

30 Det skal spises samme Dag, I må intet levne deraf til næste Morgen. Jeg er HE EN!

31 I skal holde mine Bud og handle efter dem. Jeg er HE EN!

32 I må ikke vanhellige mit hellige Navn, for at jeg må blive helliget blandt Israeliterne. Jeg er HE EN, som helliger eder,

33 som førte eder ud af Ægypten for at være eders Gud. Jeg er HE EN!

Apocalypse Explained # 79

79. And He laid His right hand upon me, signifies life from Him. This is evident from the signification of "right hand," as being, in reference to the Lord, life from Him (See above, n. 72). It signifies life from Him, because it immediately follows the words, "I fell at His feet as dead;" and moreover, "to touch with the hand" signifies to communicate and transfer to another what pertains to oneself, and also to receive from another. To communicate and transfer to another what pertains to oneself, in reference to the Lord, as here, is to communicate and transfer life such as those have who are in a state of illumination and who see and hear such things as are in heaven. This also took place with John, for he was in such illumination when he saw and heard the things that are described in Revelation "To touch with the hand" is to communicate and transfer to another, because the whole power of man is transferred from the body into the hands; consequently what the mind wills that the body should do, that the arms and hands do (from this it is that by "arms" and "hands" in the Word is signified power, see Arcana Coelestia 878, 3091, 4931-4937, 6947, 7673, 10019).

But this power is natural power, and communication thereby is an exertion of the bodily forces; but spiritual power is to will the good of another, and to will to convey to another as far as possible what is with oneself. This power is what "hand" in the spiritual sense signifies, and its communication and transference are signified by "touching with the hand."

From this it can be seen what is signified by this, that the Lord, who is here called the "Son of man," laid His right hand upon John, when John lay as dead, namely, that He communicated and transferred to him life from Himself (See above). "To touch," and "to touch with the hand," has a similar signification in many passages in the Word, as in the following. In Daniel:

The Lord, who there appeared to him as a man clothed in linen, whose appearance was as the appearance of lightning, and His eyes as torches of fire, and His feet as the brightness of polished brass, touched him; and restored him to his standing; and lifted him upon his knees; and touched his lips, and opened his mouth; and still again touched him, and strengthened him (Daniel 10:4-21).

In Jeremiah:

Jehovah put forth His hand, and touched my mouth, and said, I put My words into thy mouth (Jeremiah 1:9).

And in Matthew:

Jesus stretching forth His hand to the leper, touched him, saying, I will; be thou made clean. And straightway his leprosy was cleansed (Matthew 8:3).

In the same:

Jesus saw Peter's wife's mother sick of a fever, and he touched her hand, and the fever left her (Matthew 8:14-15).

In the same:

Jesus touched the eyes of the two blind men, and their eyes were opened (Matthew 9:29-30).

In the same:

When Peter was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed the disciples, and behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him. And when the disciples heard these things they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. Then came Jesus and touched them, and said, Arise, be not afraid (Matthew 17:5-8).

In Luke:

Jesus came and touched the bier of the dead, and said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. Then he that was dead sat up, and began to speak (Luke 7:14-15).

In the same:

Jesus touched the ear of the deaf one, 1 and healed him (Luke 22:51).

In Mark:

And they brought [to Jesus] little children, that He should touch them; and He took them in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed them (Mark 10:13, 16).

In the same:

They brought unto Jesus those that were ill, that they might touch if it were but the border of His garment; and as many as touched were made whole (Mark 6:56; Matthew 14:35, 36).

In Luke:

A woman suffering from an issue of blood touched the border of His garment; and immediately the issue of her blood stanched. Jesus said, Who is it that touched Me? Some one did touch Me; I knew that power went forth from Me (Luke 8:43-46).

Because "touching" and "laying on of hands" signify communicating and transferring to another what pertains to oneself, therefore it has been customary in the churches from ancient times to lay hands upon the head of those who are inaugurated and blessed:

This Moses also was commanded to do to Joshua (Numbers 27:18-23; Deuteronomy 34:9).

As all things among the sons of Israel were representative and significative of spiritual things, so also was touch; wherefore those who touched what was holy were sanctified, and those who touched what was unclean were polluted; for "touch" signified communication and transference to another, and reception from another, as can be seen from the following passages in Moses:

Whosoever shall touch the tent of meeting; the ark of the Testimony; the table, and all the vessels thereof; the lampstand and the vessels thereof; the altar of incense; the altar of burnt-offering, and all the vessels thereof, and the laver and the base thereof, shall be holy (Exodus 30:26-29).

Whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy (Exodus 29:37).

Everything that toucheth the remainder of the meal-offering, and the remainder of the flesh from the sacrifice, shall be holy (Leviticus 6:18, 27).

Whosoever toucheth the dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel. And whosoever in the open field toucheth one that is slain with a sword, or the bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days. He that toucheth the waters of separation shall be unclean until even. And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall become unclean, and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even (Numbers 19:11, 13, 16, 21-22).

He that toucheth unclean beasts and unclean reptiles shall be unclean. Everything upon which they shall fall shall be unclean, whether it be a vessel of wood, raiment, water, an earthen vessel, food, drink, an oven, (but not a fountain, pit, or receptacle of water) shall be unclean (Leviticus 11:31-36, besides other places, as Leviticus 5:2, 3; 7:21; 11:37, 38; 15 to the end; Leviticus 17:4; 22:4; Numbers 16:26; Isaiah 52:11; Lamentations 4:14, 15; Hosea 4:2, 3; Haggai 2:12, 13, 14).

1. In the Greek we have "servant"; but Arcana Coelestia 10130 also has "deaf one."
