Tredje Mosebog 7

Studie

   

1 Dette er Loven om Skyldofferet. Det er højhelligt

2 Der, hvor Brændofferet slagtes, skal Skyldofferet slagtes. Dets Blod skal sprænges rundt om på Alteret,

3 og alt dets Fedt skal frembæres. Fedthalen, Fedtet, der dækker Indvoldene, og alt Fedtet på Indvoldene,

4 begge Nyrerne med det Fedt, som sidder på dem ved Lændemusklerne, og Leverlappen, som skal skilles fra ved Nyrerne.

5 Og Præsten skal bringe det som øgoffer på Alteret, et Ildoffer for HE EN. Det er et Skyldoffer.

6 Alle af Mandkøn blandt Præsterne må spise det; på et helligt Sted skal det spises; det er højhelligt.

7 Det er med Skyldofferet som med Syndofferet, en og samme Lov gælder for dem: Det tilfalder den Præst, der skaffer Soning ved det.

8 Den Præst, som frembærer nogens Brændoffer, ham skal Huden af det Brændoffer, han frembærer, tilfalde.

9 Ethvert Afgrødeoffer, der bages i Ovnen, eller som er tilberedt i Pande eller på Plade, tilfalder den Præst, der frembærer det;

10 men ethvert Afgrødeoffer, der er rørt i Olie eller tørt, tilfalder alle Arons Sønner, den ene lige så vel som den anden.

11 Dette er Loven om Takofferet, som bringes HE EN.

12 Hvis det bringes som Lovprisningsoffer, skal han sammen med Slagtofferet, der hører til hans Lovprisningsoffer, frembære usyrede Kager, rørte i Olie, usyrede Fladbrød, smurte med Olie, og fint Hvedemel, æltet til Kager, rørte i Olie;

13 sammen med syrede Brødkager skal han frembære sin Offergave som sit Lovprisningstakoffer.

14 Han skal deraf frembære een Kage af hver Offergave som en Offerydelse til HE en; den tilfalder den Præst, der sprænger Blodet af Takofferet på Alteret.

15 Kødet af hans Lovprisningstakoffer skal spises på selve Offerdagen, intet de1af må gemmes til næste Morgen.

16 Er hans Offergaver derimod et Løfteoffer eller et Frivilligoffer, skal det vel spises på selve Offerdagen, men hvad der levnes, må spises Dagen efter;

17 men hvad der så er tilbage af Offerkødet, skal opbrændes på den tredje Dag;

18 og hvis der spises noget af hans Takoffers Kød på den tredje Dag, så vil den, som bringer Offeret, ikke kunne finde Guds Velbehag, det skal ikke tilregnes ham, men regnes for urent Kød, og den, der spiser deraf, skal undgælde for sin Brøde.

19 Det Kød, der kommer i Berøring med noget som helst urent, må ikke spises, det skal opbrændes. I øvrigt må enhver, der er ren, spise Kødet;

20 men enhver, som i uren Tilstand spiser Kød af HE ENs Takoffer, skal udryddes af sin Slægt;

21 og når nogen rører ved noget urent, enten menneskelig Urenhed eller urent Kvæg eller nogen Slags urent Kryb, og så spiser Kød af HE ENs Takoffer, skal han udryddes af sin Slægt.

22 HE EN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

23 Tal til Israeliterne og sig: I må ikke spise noget som helst Fedt af Okser, Får eller Geder.

24 Fedt af selvdøde og sønderrevne Dyr må bruges til alt, men I må under ingen Omstændigheder spise det.

25 Thi enhver, der spiser Fedtet af det Kvæg, hvoraf der bringes HE EN Ildofre, den, der spiser noget deraf, skal udryddes af sit Folk.

26 Og I må heller ikke nyde noget som helst Blod af Fugle eller Kvæg, hvor I end opholder eder;

27 enhver, der nyder noget som helst Blod, skal udryddes af sin Slægt.

28 HE EN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

29 Tal til Israeliterne og sig: Den, der bringer HE EN sit Takoffer, skal af sit Takoffer frembære for HE EN den ham tilkommende Offergave;

30 med egne Hænder skal han frembære HE ENs Ildofre. Han skal frembære Fedtet tillige med Brystet; Brystet, for at Svingningen kan udføres dermed for HE ENs Åsyn;

31 og Præsten skal bringe Fedtet som øgoffer på Alteret, men Brystet skal tilfalde Aron og hans Sønner.

32 Desuden skal I give Præsten højre Kølle som Offerydelse af eders Takofre.

33 Den af Arons Sønner, der frembærer Takofferets Blod og Fedtet, ham tilfalder højre Kølle som hans Del.

34 Thi Svingningsbrystet og Offerydelseskøllen tager jeg fra Israeliterne af deres Takofre og giver dem til Præsten Aron og hans Sønner, en evig gyldig ettighed, som de har Krav på hos Israeliterne.

35 Det er Arons og hans Sønners Del af HE ENs Ildofre, den, som blev givet dem, den dag han lod dem træde frem for at gøre Præstetjeneste for HE EN,

36 den, som HE EN, den Dag han salvede dem, bød Israeliterne at give dem, en evig gyldig ettighed, som de har Krav på fra Slægt til Slægt.

37 Det er Loven om Brændofferet, Afgrødeofferet, Syndofferet, Skyldofferet, Indsættelsesofferet og Takofferet,

38 som HE EN pålagde Moses på Sinaj Bjerg, den Dag han bød Israeliterne at bringe HE EN deres Offergaver i Sinaj Ørken.

1082. And shall eat her flesh, signifies rejection of its evils, which are adulterated goods, and then the manifestation that they were without any good. This is evident from the signification of "flesh," as being the good of the Word and of the church, and in the contrary sense the evil thereof. Here "flesh" means evils, which are adulterated goods. Also from the signification of "to eat," as being to consume, but here to reject wholly, because this is said of the Reformed, who have rejected the works or goods of Babylon, which consist especially in gifts to the idols of their saints, to their sepulchers, also to monasteries, and to the monks themselves, given as offerings for various expiations. It follows that the same words mean also the manifestation that they were without any good, for when spurious and meritorious goods are rejected, which are signified by the "flesh that they should eat," it is then manifest that they are without any good.

[2] "Flesh" has various significations in the Word. It signifies what is man's own [proprium], thus either his good or evil, and from this it signifies the whole man. But in the highest sense it signifies the Lord's Divine Human, and particularly the Divine good of the Divine love that proceeds from Him. That "flesh" signifies the Divine Human as to the good of love is evident in John:

Jesus said, I am the living bread, which cometh down out of heaven; if anyone eat of this bread he shall live forever; and the bread which I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. The Jews, therefore, strove one with another, saying, How can this one give His flesh to eat? Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood ye shall not have life in yourselves. He that eateth My flesh and drinketh My blood hath eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day; for My flesh is truly food, and My blood is truly drink. He that eateth My flesh and drinketh My blood abideth in Me and I in him. This is the bread which cometh down out of heaven (John 6:51-58).

It is clearly evident that "flesh" here means the own [proprium] of the Lord's Divine Human, which is the Divine good of the Divine love, and is that which is called in the Holy Supper the body. (That the "body" there, that is, the "flesh," is the Divine good, and the "blood" is the Divine truth, may be seen above, n. 329.) And as "bread and wine" have the same signification as "flesh and blood," "bread" meaning the Divine good, and "wine" the Divine truth, therefore these were commanded in place of flesh and blood.

[3] Divine good from the Lord was signified also by the flesh of the sacrifices that Aaron, his sons, and those who sacrificed, and others who were clean, might eat:

And that this was holy (may be seen in Exodus 12:7-9, 29:31-34; Leviticus 7:15-21; 8:31; Deuteronomy 12:27; 16:4);

Consequently if an unclean person ate of that flesh he would be cut off from his people (Leviticus 7:21).

That those sacrifices were called bread (Leviticus 22:6-7).

That that flesh was called the flesh of holiness (Jeremiah 11:15; Haggai 2:12),

And the flesh of the offering, which was to be upon the table in the Lord's kingdom (Ezekiel 40:43).

The Lord's Divine Human is also called "flesh" in John:

The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us; and we saw His glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father (John 1:14).

[4] That "flesh" signified also the good with man can be seen from the following passages. In Ezekiel:

I will give them one heart, and I will give a new spirit in the midst of you, and I will take away the heart of stone out of their flesh, and I will give them a heart of flesh (Ezekiel 11:19; 36:26).

"Heart of flesh" means the will and love of good. In David:

O God, Thou art my God, in the morning I seek Thee; my soul thirsteth for Thee; my flesh longeth for Thee in a land of drought and weariness without waters (Psalms 63:1).

In the same:

My soul longeth for the courts of Jehovah; my heart and my flesh cry out unto the living God (Psalms 84:2).

The "flesh" that longeth for Jehovah, and that crieth out unto the living God, signifies man as to good of the will, for the "flesh" of man corresponds to the good or evil of his will, and the "blood" to the truth or falsity of his understanding; here "flesh" means the good of the will, because it longeth for Jehovah and crieth out unto God.

[5] In Job:

I have known my Redeemer, He liveth, and at the last He shall rise upon the dust; and afterwards these things shall be encompassed by my skin, and from my flesh I shall see God (Job 19:25-27).

To see God from one's flesh signifies from one's own voluntary made new by the Lord, and thus good. In Ezekiel:

Upon the bones seen in the midst of the valley, I will put sinews, and I will cause flesh to come up upon them, and I will cover them with skin, and I will give spirit unto them that they may live (Ezekiel 37:6, 8).

Here, too, "flesh" signifies what is one's own [proprium] of the will made new by the Lord, and thus good. What "bones" and the rest signify here may be seen above (n. 418, 419, 665). In Revelation:

Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God, that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of commanders of thousands, and the flesh of the mighty, and the flesh of horses and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all, free and bond, small and great (Revelation 19:17-18; Ezekiel 39:17-19).

That "flesh" here does not mean flesh but goods of every kind, is clearly evident.

[6] But on the other hand, that "flesh" signifies man's own voluntary, which regarded in itself is evil, is evident from the following passages. In Isaiah:

They shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm (Isaiah 9:20).

In the same:

I will feed thine oppressors with their own flesh (Isaiah 49:26).

In Jeremiah:

I will feed you with the flesh of their sons and with the flesh of their daughters; and they shall eat every man the flesh of his companion (Jeremiah 19:9).

In Zechariah:

The rest shall eat everyone the flesh of another (Zechariah 11:9).

In Moses:

I will chastise you sevenfold for your sins, and ye shall eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters (Leviticus 26:28-29).

[7] In Jeremiah:

Cursed is the man who trusteth in man and maketh flesh his arm (Jeremiah 17:5).

Here "flesh" signifies what is man's own [proprium] which in itself is evil; to appropriate this to oneself is signified by eating and feeding upon it. Again, "flesh" signifies what is man's own [proprium] in Matthew:

Jesus said, Blessed art thou, Simon, for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee (Matthew 16:17).

In John:

As many as received, to them gave He power to become sons of God, who were born, not from bloods nor from the will of the flesh, but from God (John 1:12-13).

In Ezekiel:

Jerusalem committed whoredom with the sons of Egypt her neighbors, great in flesh (Ezekiel 16:26).

In Isaiah:

Egypt is man and not God, and his horses are flesh and not spirit (Isaiah 31:3).

In John:

It is the spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing (John 6:63).

In the same:

That which is born of the flesh is flesh, that which is begotten of the spirit is spirit (John 3:6).

In David:

God remembered that they were flesh, a breath that passeth away and returneth not (Psalms 78:39).

The evil of man's will, which is what is his own [proprium] from birth is what is signified in these passages by "flesh"; also by:

The flesh that the sons of Israel lusted after in the desert, and on account of which they were smitten with a great plague, and from which the place was called graves of lust (Numbers 11:4-34).

Moreover, in the Word the expression "all flesh" is frequently used as meaning every man (as in Genesis 6:12, 13, 17, 19; Isaiah 40:5, 6; 49:26; 66:16, 23, 24; Jeremiah 25:31; 32:27; 45:5; Ezekiel 20:48, 21:4, 5; and elsewhere).

(Continuation respecting the Word)

[8] The spiritual by influx presents what is correspondent to itself in the natural, in order that the end may become a cause, and the cause become an effect, and thus the end through the cause may present itself in the effect as visible and sensible. This trine, namely, end, cause, and effect, is given from creation in every heaven. The end is the good of love, the cause is truth from that good, and the effect is use. That which produces is love, and the product therefrom is of love from good by means of truth. The final products, which are in our world, are various, as numerous as the objects are in its three kingdoms of nature, animal, vegetable, and mineral. All products are correspondences.

[9] As this trine, namely, end, cause, and effect, exists in each heaven, there must be in each heaven products that are correspondences, and which in form and aspect are like the objects in the three kingdoms of our earth; from which it is clear that each heaven is like our earth in external appearance, differing only in excellence and beauty according to degrees. Now in order that the Word may be full, that is, may consist of effects in which are a cause and an end, or may consist of uses, in which truth is the cause and good is the end and love is that which produces, it must needs consist of correspondences; and from this it follows that the Word in each heaven is like the Word in our world, differing only in excellence and beauty according to degrees. What this difference is shall be told elsewhere.
