Levitiko 17

Studie

   

1 Kaj la Eternulo ekparolis al Moseo, dirante:

2 Parolu al Aaron kaj al liaj filoj kaj al cxiuj Izraelidoj, kaj diru al ili:Jen estas tio, kion la Eternulo ordonis:

3 Se iu el la domo de Izrael bucxos bovon aux sxafon aux kapron en la tendaro, aux se li bucxos gxin ekster la tendaro,

4 kaj ne alkondukos gxin al la pordo de la tabernaklo de kunveno, por prezenti gxin kiel oferon al la Eternulo, antaux la logxejo de la Eternulo, tiam tiu homo estos kulpa pri sango:li versxis sangon, kaj tiu homo ekstermigxos el inter sia popolo.

5 Por ke la Izraelidoj alkondukadu siajn bucxotojn, kiujn ili volas bucxi sur la kampo, kaj ili alkonduku ilin antaux la Eternulon, al la pordo de la tabernaklo de kunveno, al la pastro, kaj ili bucxu ilin kiel pacoferojn al la Eternulo.

6 Kaj la pastro aspergos per la sango la altaron de la Eternulo cxe la pordo de la tabernaklo de kunveno, kaj li fumbruligos la sebon kiel agrablan odorajxon al la Eternulo.

7 Ili ne bucxu plu siajn oferbrutojn al la demonoj, kiujn ili malcxaste adoras. Legxo eterna tio estu por ili en iliaj generacioj.

8 Kaj diru al ili:Se iu el la domo de Izrael, aux el la fremduloj, kiuj logxas inter ili, alportos bruloferon aux simplan oferon,

9 kaj ne alkondukos gxin al la pordo de la tabernaklo de kunveno, por oferfari gxin al la Eternulo, tiam tiu homo ekstermigxos el sia popolo.

10 Se iu el la domo de Izrael, aux el la fremduloj, kiuj logxas inter ili, mangxos ian sangon, tiam Mi turnos Mian vizagxon kontraux tiun, kiu mangxis la sangon, kaj Mi ekstermos lin el inter lia popolo.

11 CXar la animo de korpo estas en la sango; kaj Mi destinis al vi cxi tion por la altaro, por pekliberigi viajn animojn, cxar la sango pekliberigas per la animo.

12 Tial Mi diris al la Izraelidoj:Neniu el vi mangxu sangon, kaj ankaux la fremdulo, kiu logxas inter vi, ne mangxu sangon.

13 Se iu el la Izraelidoj, aux el la fremduloj, kiuj logxas inter ili, cxaskaptos beston aux birdon, kiun oni povas mangxi, tiam li elfluigu gxian sangon kaj kovru gxin per polvo.

14 CXar la animo de cxiu korpo estas gxia sango, en gxia animo gxi estas. Tial Mi diris al la Izraelidoj:La sangon de ia korpo ne mangxu, cxar la animo de cxiu korpo estas gxia sango; cxiu, kiu gxin mangxos, ekstermigxos.

15 Kaj cxiu, kiu mangxos mortintajxon aux dissxiritajxon, cxu li estas indigxeno, cxu fremdulo, lavu siajn vestojn kaj banu sin en akvo, kaj li estos malpura gxis la vespero, kaj poste li estos pura.

16 Sed se li ne lavos kaj sian korpon ne banos, li portos sur si sian malbonagon.

9306. Take heed of his face. That this signifies holy fear, is evident from the signification of “taking heed of the face,” when said of the Lord, who is here meant by “the angel,” as being to be afraid lest He be angry on account of evils, or lest He be provoked on account of transgressions; as follows. To fear these things is holy fear (concerning which see above, n. 2826, 3718, 3719, 5459, 5534, 7280, 7788, 8816, 8925). It is said “take heed of his face,” because by the “face” is signified the interior things that belong to the life, thus those of the thought and affection, and especially those of the faith and the love. The reason is that the face has been formed according to the image of man’s interior things, in order that those which are of the internal man may appear in the external man; thus that those which are of the spiritual world may appear before the sight in the natural world, and so affect the neighbor. That the face exhibits in a visible form, or as it were in a mirror, the things which the man thinks and loves, is known. (That such are the faces of the sincere, and especially of angels, see n. 1999, 2434, 3527, 3573, 4066, 4326, 4796-4799, 5102, 5695, 6604, 8248-8250.)

Wherefore in the original tongue “the face” is a general term employed to describe the affections which exist and appear in a man, such as gratitude, favor, benevolence, help, kindness; and also as unmercifulness, anger, revenge; consequently in that tongue “the face,” taken with what it is joined to, means “near to,” “with,” “before,” “for the sake of,” and also “against;” thus whatever is in oneself, from oneself, for oneself, and against oneself; for as before said, the face is the man himself, or that which is in the man and shows itself.

[2] From all this it can be known what is signified by the “face of Jehovah,” or by the “face of the angel,” by whom is here signified the Lord as to His Divine Human; namely, the Divine good of the Divine love, and the Divine truth from this Divine good; for these are in Jehovah or the Lord, and they are from Him; nay, they are Himself (n. 222, 223, 5585). From this it is evident what is signified by the “faces of Jehovah” in the benediction:

Jehovah make His faces to shine upon thee, and be merciful unto thee; Jehovah lift up His faces unto thee, and give thee peace (Numbers 6:25-26).

God be merciful unto us, and bless us, and cause His faces to shine upon us (Psalms 67:1).

In like manner in Psalms 80:3, 7, (Psalms 80:7)19; 119:135; Daniel 19:17 and elsewhere.

[3] Hence it is that the Lord as to the Divine Human is called “the angel of the faces of Jehovah” in Isaiah:

I will make mention of the mercies of Jehovah. He will recompense them according to His mercies, and according to the multitude of His mercies; and He became their Savior; and the angel of His faces saved them, because of His love, and because of His pity (Isaiah 63:7-9).

That the Lord as to the Divine Human is called “the angel of the faces of Jehovah” is because the Divine Human is the Divine Itself in face, that is, in form, as the Lord also teaches in John:

If ye had known Me, ye had known My Father also; and from henceforth ye have known Him, and have seen Him. Philip said, Show us the Father. Jesus said unto him, Am I so long time with you, and hast thou not known Me, Philip? He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father. I am in the Father, and the Father in Me. Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me (John 14:7-11).

[4] By “the face of Jehovah” or the Lord is also signified anger, vengeance, punishment, and evil, for the reason that from the common idea that all things are from God the simple believe that evil also is from Him, especially the evil of punishment; and therefore in accordance with this common idea, and also according to the appearance, anger, vengeance, punishment, and evil are attributed to Jehovah or the Lord; when yet these are not from the Lord, but from man (on which subject see n. 1861, 2447, 5798, 6071, 6832, 6991, 6997, 7533, 7632, 7877, 7926, 8197, 8227, 8228, 8282, 8483, 8632, 8875, 9128). Such is the signification here of “take heed of his face, provoke him not, for he will not endure your transgression.” And also in Leviticus:

Whosoever shall eat any blood, I will set My faces against the soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from the midst of his people (Leviticus 17:10).

I have set my faces against the city for evil, and not for good (Jeremiah 21:10).

The face of Jehovah is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth (Psalms 34:16).
