Tredje Mosebog 6

Studie

   

1 HE EN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

2 Når nogen forsynder sig og gør sig skyldig i Svig mod HE EN, idet han frakender sin Næste etten til noget, der var ham betroet, et Håndpant eller noget, han har røvet, eller han aftvinger sin Næste noget,

3 eller han finder noget, som er tabt, og nægter det, eller han aflægger falsk Ed angående en af alle de Ting, som Mennesket forsynder sig ved at gøre,

4 så skal han, når han har forsyndet sig og føler sig skyldig, tilbagegive det, han har røvet, eller det, han har aftvunget, eller det, som var ham betroet, eller det tabte, som han har fundet,

5 eller alt det, hvorom han har aflagt falsk Ed; han skal erstatte det med dets fulde Værdi med Tillæg af en Femtedel. Han skal give den retmæssige Ejer det, den Dag han gør Bod.

6 Og til Bod skal han af Småkvæget bringe HE EN en lydefri Væder, der er taget god; som Skyldoffer skal han bringe den til Præsten.

7 Da skal Præsten skaffe ham Soning for HE ENs Åsyn, så han finder Tilgivelse for enhver Ting, hvorved man pådrager sig Skyld.

8 HE EN taled fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

9 Giv Aron og hans Sønner dette Bud: Dette er Loven om Brændofferet. Brændofferet skal blive liggende på sit Bål på Alteret Natten over til næste Morgen, og Alterilden skal holdes ved lige dermed.

10 Så skal Præsten iføre sig sin Linnedklædning, og Linnedbenklæder skal han iføre sig over sin Blusel, og han skal borttage Asken, som bliver tilbage, når Ilden fortærer Brændofferet på Alteret, og lægge den ved Siden af Alteret.

11 Derefter skal han afføre sig sine Klæder og tage andre Klæder på og bringe Asken uden for Lejren til et urent Sted.

12 Ilden på Alteret skal holdes ved lige dermed, den må ikke gå ud: og Præsten skal hver Morgen tænde ny Brændestykker på Alteret og lægge Brændofferet til ette derpå og så bringe Takofrenes Fedtdele som øgoffer derpå.

13 En stadig Ild skal holdes ved lige på Alteret, den må ikke gå ud.

14 Dette er Loven om Afgrødeofferet: Arons Sønner skal frembære det for HE ENs Åsyn, hen til Alteret.

15 Så skal han tage en Håndfuld af Afgrødeofferets Mel og Olie og al øgelsen, der følger med Afgrødeofferet, det, der skal ofres deraf, og bringe det som øgoffer på Alteret til en liflig Duft for HE EN.

16 Men esten deraf skal Aron og hans Sønner spise; usyret skal det spises på et helligt Sted; i Åbenbaringsteltets Forgård skal de spise det.

17 Det må ikke bages syret. Jeg har givet dem det som deres Del af mine Ildofre; det er højhelligt ligesom Syndofferet og Skyldofferet.

18 Alle af Mandkøn blandt Arons Sønnerspise det; denne Del af HE ENs Ildofre skal være en evig gyldig ettighed, de har Krav på fra Slægt til Slægt. Enhver, som rører derved, bliver hellig.

19 HE EN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

20 Dette er den Offergave, Aron og hans Sønner skal frembære for HE EN: En Tiendedel Efa fint Hvedemel, et dagligt Afgrødeoffer, Halvdelen om Morgenen og Halvdelen om Aftenen.

21 Det skal tilberedes på Plade med Olie, og du skal frembære det godt æltet, og du skal bryde det i Stykker; et Afgrødeoffer, som er brudt i Stykker, skal du frembære til en liflig Duft for HE EN.

22 Den Præst iblandt hans Sønner, der salves i hans Sted, skal ofre det; det skal være en evig gyldig ettighed for HE EN, og som Heloffer skal det ofres.

23 Ethvert Afgrødeoffer fra en Præst skal være et Heloffer; det må ikke spises.

24 HE EN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

25 Tal til Aron og hans Sønner og sig: Dette er Loven om Syndofferet. Der, hvor Brændofferet slagtes. skal Syndofferet slagtes for HE ENs Åsyn; det er højhelligt.

26 Den Præst, der frembærer Syndofferet, skal spise det; det skal spises på et helligt Sted, i Åbenbaringsteltets Forgård.

27 Enhver, som rører ved Kødet deraf, bliver hellig. Hvis noget af dets Blod stænkes på en Klædning, skal det Stykke, Blodet er stænket på, tvættes på et helligt Sted.

28 Det Lerkar, det koges i, skal slås i Stykker; og hvis det er kogt i et Kobberkar, skal dette skures og skylles med Vand.

29 Alle af Mandkøn blandt Præsterne må spise det; det er højhelligt.

30 Men intet Syndoffer må spises, når noget af dets Blod bringes ind i Åbenbaringsteltet for at skaffe Soning i Helligdommen; det skal opbrændes.

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.
