Levitiko 22

Studie

   

1 Kaj la Eternulo ekparolis al Moseo, dirante:

2 Diru al Aaron kaj al liaj filoj, ke ili agu singarde koncerne la sanktajxojn de la Izraelidoj, kaj ili ne malhonoru Mian sanktan nomon en tio, kion ili konsekras al Mi:Mi estas la Eternulo.

3 Diru al ili:Se iu en viaj generacioj el via tuta idaro aliros al la sanktajxoj, kiujn la Izraelidoj konsekras al la Eternulo, kaj li havos sur si malpurajxon, tiam tiu animo ekstermigxos de antaux Mi:Mi estas la Eternulo.

4 Se iu el la idaro de Aaron havos lepron aux elfluon, tiu ne mangxu la sanktajxojn, gxis li purigxos. Kiu ektusxis iun, kiu malpurigxis per mortinto, aux kiu havas elfluon de semo;

5 aux kiu ektusxis ian rampajxon, per kiu li malpurigxis, aux iun homon, de kiu li malpurigxis per ia lia malpurajxo;

6 tiu, ektusxinte tion, estos malpura gxis la vespero, kaj li ne mangxu la sanktajxojn, antaux ol li estos lavinta sian korpon per akvo.

7 Post la subiro de la suno li farigxos pura, kaj tiam li povas mangxi la sanktajxojn, cxar tio estas lia mangxajxo.

8 Kadavrajxon kaj ion, kion dissxiris bestoj, li ne mangxu, por ke li ne malpurigxu per tio:Mi estas la Eternulo.

9 Kaj ili observu Miajn ordonojn, por ke ili ne portu sur si pekon kaj ne mortu en gxi, se ili tion malhonoros:Mi estas la Eternulo, kiu ilin sanktigas.

10 Kaj neniu laiko mangxu sanktajxon; logxanto cxe pastro kaj ankaux dungito ne mangxu sanktajxon.

11 Se pastro acxetis homon per sia mono, tiu povas mangxi tion; kaj tiuj, kiuj naskigxis en lia domo, povas mangxi lian panon.

12 Se filino de pastro edzinigxis kun viro laika, sxi ne mangxu el la levataj sanktajxoj.

13 Sed se filino de pastro farigxis vidvino aux eksedzino kaj sxi ne havas infanojn, kaj sxi revenis en la domon de sia patro, kiel sxi estis en sia juneco, tiam sxi povas mangxi la panon de sia patro; sed neniu laiko devas gxin mangxi.

14 Se iu mangxis sanktajxon per eraro, li aldonu al gxi kvinonon de la valoro kaj redonu al la pastro la sanktajxon.

15 Ili ne malhonoru la sanktajxojn de la Izraelidoj, kiujn ili oferlevas al la Eternulo.

16 Kaj ili ne sxargxu sur sin la kulpon de la krimo, mangxante siajn sanktajxojn; cxar Mi estas la Eternulo, kiu ilin sanktigas.

17 Kaj la Eternulo ekparolis al Moseo, dirante:

18 Parolu al Aaron kaj al liaj filoj kaj al cxiuj Izraelidoj, kaj diru al ili:Se iu el la domo de Izrael aux el la fremduloj inter Izrael alportas sian oferon, cxu gxi estas promesitajxo aux cxu gxi estas ofero memvola, kiun ili alportas al la Eternulo kiel bruloferon,

19 tiam, por ke vi akiru placxon, gxi devas esti sendifekta, virseksa, el grandaj brutoj, el sxafoj, aux el kaproj.

20 Neniun beston, kiu havas difektajxon, alportu, cxar gxi ne akirigos al vi placxon.

21 Kaj se iu alportas pacoferon al la Eternulo, por plenumi promeson aux memvole, el grandaj aux malgrandaj brutoj, gxi estu sendifekta, por ke gxi placxu; nenia difekto estu sur gxi.

22 Beston blindan aux difektitan aux kriplan aux absceshavan aux aknohavan aux favan ne alportu al la Eternulo; kaj ne donu ilin kiel fajroferon sur la altaron de la Eternulo.

23 Bovon aux sxafon, kiu havas tro longajn aux tro mallongajn membrojn, vi povas alporti kiel oferon memvolan, sed kiel promesita ofero gxi ne akiros placxon.

24 Beston, kiu havas testikon kunpremitan, disbatitan, desxiritan, aux fortrancxitan, ne alportu al la Eternulo, kaj en via lando ne faru tion.

25 Kaj el la manoj de alilandulo ne alportu tiajn kiel panon de via Dio; cxar kriplajxo estas sur ili, difektajxo estas sur ili:ili ne akiros al vi placxon.

26 Kaj la Eternulo ekparolis al Moseo, dirante:

27 Kiam naskigxos bovido aux sxafido aux kaprido, tiam gxi restu dum sep tagoj sub sia patrino, kaj de post la oka tago kaj plue gxi povas akiri placxon kiel fajrofero al la Eternulo.

28 Sed nek bovon, nek sxafon bucxu kun gxia ido en unu tago.

29 Se vi alportas dankoferon al la Eternulo, oferu gxin tiel, ke gxi akiru por vi placxon.

30 En la sama tago oni devas gxin mangxi; ne lasu iom el gxi gxis la mateno:Mi estas la Eternulo.

31 Kaj observu Miajn ordonojn kaj plenumu ilin:Mi estas la Eternulo.

32 Kaj ne malhonoru Mian sanktan nomon, kaj Mi estu sankta inter la Izraelidoj:Mi estas la Eternulo, kiu sanktigas vin,

33 kiu elkondukis vin el la lando Egipta, por esti por vi Dio. Mi estas la Eternulo.

10083. 'And you shall wave them as a wave offering before Jehovah' means the life from God which comes as a result of this. This is clear from the meaning of 'waving a wave offering' as endowing with life, thus the life [present in something]; and since it says from 'before Jehovah' the life from God is meant. The fact that 'waving a wave offering' means endowing with life, that is, imparting the life from God, is clear from places in the Word where 'waving a wave offering' is spoken of, as in Moses,

When you bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest, he shall wave the sheaf before Jehovah, so that you may be acceptable; on the day after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. Leviticus 23:10-11.

'Harvest' means a state when the truth of faith springing from good exists, thus a state when good is present, 9295; 'a sheaf of the firstfruits' means all collectively constituting that state. 'Being waved by the priest' therefore means being endowed with life to receive a blessing; for every blessing, to be a blessing, must have life from God within it.

[2] In the same author,

Aaron shall wave the Levites before Jehovah as a wave offering 1 from among the children of Israel, that they may be used in the service of Jehovah. You shall stand the Levites before Aaron and before his sons, and you shall wave them as a wave offering to Jehovah. After that the Levites shall go in to serve in the tent of meeting; and you shall purify them, and wave them as a wave offering. And when the Levites had been purified, Aaron waved them before Jehovah as a wave offering, and Aaron expiated them to purify them. Numbers 8:11, 13, 15, 21.

These verses show what 'waving a wave offering' means, namely endowing with life through acknowledgement, which is the first phase of faith, and so the first phase of life from God with a person. Knowledge, it is true, comes before acknowledgement, but knowledge has none of God's life within it until it becomes acknowledgement and then faith. The Levites represented truths serving good, while Aaron represented the good they served; that is why they were 'waved', that is, were endowed with life. This also accounts for its being said that they were to be purified. For truths must have life from God within them if they are to serve good, and that life first flows in through acknowledgement.

[3] Much the same is meant by 'a wave offering of gold' in Moses,

They came, the men with the women ... they brought brooches, nose-jewels, rings, girdles 2 , all vessels of gold; and every man who waved a wave offering of gold to Jehovah. Exodus 35:22.

'Waving a wave offering of gold to Jehovah' means endowing with life through the acknowledgement that it was Jehovah's, that is, the Lord's. 'Waving a wave offering' means such things by virtue of what that action corresponds to; for every motion corresponds to a state of thought. In the Word therefore advancing, travelling on, and like movements mean states of life, see 3335, 4882, 5493, 5605, 8103, 8417, 8420, 8557.

[4] In John,

At the pool of Bethesda lay a large multitude of sick people; and an angel went down at a certain time to the pool and stirred up the water. Then whoever stepped in first after the movement of the water was cured of whatever disease he had. John 5:2-7.

'Stirring up the water' here was in like manner a sign of the endowment of life through acknowledgement and faith, and therefore also a sign of purification by means of truths.

'Movement' means states of life, see 2837, 3356, 3387, 4321, 4882, 5605, 7381, 9440, 9967.

'Water' means the truths of faith, 2702, 3058, 3424, 4976, 8568, 9323.

All purification is accomplished by means of the truths of faith, 2799, 5954 (end), 7044, 7918, 9088.

Healings represented the restoration of spiritual life, 8365, 9031 (end).

[5] Since 'the waving on Aaron's palms' means the endowment of life through acknowledgement of the Lord and the acknowledgement that all things come from Him, something brief must be stated with regard to that acknowledgement and resulting faith. The Lord often said, when sick people were being healed, that they should have faith, and, 'Let it be to you according to your faith', as in Matthew 8:10-13; 9:2, 22, 27-29; 13:57-58; 15:28; 21:21-22, 31-32; Mark 5:34, 36; 10:49, 52; 16:16; Luke 7:9, 48-50; 8:48; 17:19; 18:42-43. The reason why He said it was that the very first thing a person needs to do is to acknowledge that the Lord is the Saviour of the world; for unless he acknowledges this no one can receive any truth or good at all from heaven, or therefore receive faith from there. And since it was the very first and most essential thing, therefore in order that He might be acknowledged when He came into the world the Lord questioned the sick, when He healed them, about their faith; and those who had faith were healed. This faith was that He was the Son of God who was to come into the world, and that He had power to heal and save. Furthermore every healing of sickness by the Lord when He was in the world served to mean a healing of spiritual life, thus served to mean the things that belong to salvation, 8364, 9031(end), 9086.

[6] Since acknowledgement of the Lord is the first thing of all belonging to spiritual life and is the most essential feature of the Church, and since no one, unless he acknowledges Him, can receive any truth of faith or good of love at all from heaven, the Lord also often says that whoever believes in Him has eternal life, and whoever does not believe in Him does not have it, as in John 1:1, 4, 12-13; 3:14-16, 36; 5:39-40; 6:28-30, 33-35, 40, 47-48; 7:37-38; 8:24; 11:25-26; 20:30-31. But at the same time He also teaches that they have faith in Him who live according to His commandments, so that the life which results from doing so goes to compose their faith. These things have been stated to cast light on and corroborate the truth that acknowledging the Lord and acknowledging that all salvation comes from Him constitute the beginning of the life from God with a person. That beginning of it is meant by the offering waved on Aaron's palms.
