Mooseksen kirja 2

Studie

   

1 "Jos joku tahtoo tuoda Herralle lahjaksi ruokauhrin, olkoon hänen uhrilahjanaan lestyjä jauhoja; ja hän vuodattakoon siihen öljyä ja pankoon sen päälle suitsuketta

2 ja vieköön sen papeille, Aaronin pojille, ja pappi ottakoon kourallisen niitä jauhoja ja sitä öljyä ynnä kaiken suitsukkeen ja polttakoon tämän alttariuhriosan alttarilla suloisesti tuoksuvana uhrina Herralle.

3 Mutta se, mikä jää tähteeksi ruokauhrista, olkoon Aaronin ja hänen poikiensa oma; se on korkeasti-pyhää, Herran uhria.

4 Mutta jos tahdot tuoda ruokauhrilahjan uunissa paistetusta, olkoon uhrinasi lestyistä jauhoista valmistetut, öljyyn leivotut happamattomat kakut tai öljyllä voidellut happamattomat ohukaiset.

5 Jos taas uhrilahjasi on ruokauhri, joka leivinlevyllä paistetaan, olkoon se valmistettu lestyistä jauhoista, öljyyn leivottu ja happamaton.

6 Paloittele se palasiksi ja vuodata öljyä sen päälle; se on ruokauhri.

7 Ja jos uhrilahjasi on ruokauhri, joka paistetaan pannussa, valmistettakoon se lestyistä jauhoista ynnä öljystä.

8 Ja vie ruokauhri, joka näin on valmistettu, Herralle; se vietäköön papille, ja hän tuokoon sen alttarin ääreen.

9 Ja pappi erottakoon ruokauhrista alttariuhriosan ja polttakoon sen alttarilla suloisesti tuoksuvana uhrina Herralle.

10 Mutta se, mikä jää tähteeksi ruokauhrista, olkoon Aaronin ja hänen poikiensa oma; se on korkeasti-pyhää, Herran uhria.

11 Mitään ruokauhria, jonka te tuotte Herralle, älköön valmistettako happamesta; älkää polttako uhria Herralle mistään happamesta taikinasta tai hunajasta.

12 Uutisuhrilahjana saatte tuoda niitä Herralle, mutta älkööt ne tulko alttarille suloiseksi tuoksuksi.

13 Ja jokainen ruokauhrilahjasi suolaa suolalla, äläkä anna Jumalasi liitonsuolan puuttua ruokauhristasi; jokaiseen uhrilahjaasi sinun on tuotava suolaa.

14 Mutta jos tahdot tuoda uutisesta ruokauhrin Herralle, niin tuo uutisruokauhrinasi tulessa paahdettuja tähkäpäitä tai survottuja jyviä tuleentumattomasta viljasta.

15 Ja vuodata siihen öljyä ja pane siihen suitsuketta; se on ruokauhri.

16 Ja pappi polttakoon alttariuhriosan survotuista jyvistä ja öljystä ynnä kaiken suitsukkeen uhrina Herralle."

8680. 'And Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God' means worship springing from the good of love and the truths of faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'a burnt offering and sacrifices' as representatives of celestial and spiritual realities that belong to internal worship, 'burnt offerings' being representative of celestial realities, that is, aspects of the good of love, and 'sacrifices' being representative of spiritual ones, that is, aspects of the truth of faith, dealt with in 922, 923, 1823, 2180, 2805, 2807, 2830, 3218, 3519, 6905. The representation of 'burnt offerings' as aspects of the good of love, and of 'sacrifices' as aspects of the truth of faith, is clear from their institution - from the requirement that in burnt offerings everything was to be burnt, both the flesh and the blood, but that in sacrifices the flesh was to be eaten, as may be seen in chapters 1-5 of Leviticus; Numbers 28; and in Deuteronomy, where the following words occur,

You are to present, your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, on the altar of Jehovah your God; the blood of the sacrifices shall be poured out on the altar of Jehovah your God, and the flesh you shall eat. Deuteronomy 12:27.

The reason why those two realities were represented by the burnt offerings and sacrifices is that burnt offerings and sacrifices represented all worship of God in general, 923, 6905; and worship of God in general is founded on love and faith. Without these it is not worship, only ritual such as is performed by the external man who has no internal and so no life within him.

Genesis 8

Studie

   

1 God remembered Noah, all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided.

2 The deep's fountains and the sky's windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.

3 The waters receded from the earth continually. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters decreased.

4 The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat's mountains.

5 The waters receded continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.

6 It happened at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,

7 and he sent forth a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.

8 He sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,

9 but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him into the ship; for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.

10 He stayed yet another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ship.

11 The dove came back to him at evening, and, behold, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth.

12 He stayed yet another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she didn't return to him any more.

13 It happened in the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was dried.

14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.

15 God spoke to Noah, saying,

16 "Go out of the ship, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.

17 Bring forth with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth."

18 Noah went forth, with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives with him.

19 Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.

20 Noah built an altar to Yahweh, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

21 Yahweh smelled the pleasant aroma. Yahweh said in his heart, "I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake, because the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I ever again strike everything living, as I have done.

22 While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
