3 Mose 3

Studie

   

1 Und wenn seine Opfergabe ein Friedensopfer (O. Dankopfer) ist: wenn er sie von den indern darbringt, es sei ein Männliches oder ein Weibliches, so soll er sie ohne Fehl vor Jehova darbringen.

2 Und er soll seine Hand auf den Kopf seines Opfers (Eig. seiner Opfergabe; so auch v 8) legen und es schlachten an dem Eingang des Zeltes der Zusammenkunft; und die Söhne Aarons, die Priester, sollen das Blut an den Altar sprengen ringsum.

3 Und er soll von dem Friedensopfer ein Feueropfer dem Jehova darbringen: das Fett, welches das Eingeweide bedeckt, und alles Fett, das am Eingeweide ist,

4 und die beiden Nieren und das Fett, das an ihnen, das an den Lenden ist, und das Netz über der Leber: samt den Nieren (O. bei den Nieren; so auch v 10. 15; Kap. 4,9;7,4 usw.; And. üb.: bis an die Nieren) soll er es abtrennen.

5 Und die Söhne Aarons sollen es auf dem Altar räuchern, auf dem Brandopfer, welches auf dem Holze über dem Feuer ist: es ist ein Feueropfer lieblichen Geruchs dem Jehova.

6 Und wenn seine Opfergabe vom Kleinvieh ist zum Friedensopfer dem Jehova, ein Männliches oder ein Weibliches, so soll er sie ohne Fehl darbringen.

7 Wenn er ein Schaf darbringt als seine Opfergabe, so soll er es vor Jehova herzubringen;

8 und er soll seine Hand auf den Kopf seines Opfers legen und es schlachten vor dem Zelte der Zusammenkunft; und die Söhne Aarons sollen sein Blut an den Altar sprengen ringsum.

9 Und er soll von dem Friedensopfer als Feueropfer dem Jehova darbringen: sein Fett, den ganzen Fettschwanz; dicht beim ückgrat soll er ihn abtrennen; und das Fett, welches das Eingeweide bedeckt, und alles Fett, das am Eingeweide ist,

10 und die beiden Nieren und das Fett, das an ihnen, das an den Lenden ist, und das Netz über der Leber: samt den Nieren soll er es abtrennen.

11 Und der Priester soll es auf dem Altar räuchern: es ist eine Speise (Eig. ein Brot) des Feueropfers dem Jehova. -

12 Und wenn seine Opfergabe eine Ziege ist, so soll er sie vor Jehova herzubringen;

13 und er soll seine Hand auf ihren Kopf legen und sie schlachten vor dem Zelte der Zusammenkunft; und die Söhne Aarons sollen ihr Blut an den Altar sprengen ringsum.

14 Und er soll davon seine Opfergabe als Feueropfer dem Jehova darbringen: das Fett, welches das Eingeweide bedeckt, und alles Fett, das am Eingeweide ist,

15 und die beiden Nieren und das Fett, das an ihnen, das an den Lenden ist, und das Netz über der Leber: samt den Nieren soll er es abtrennen.

16 Und der Priester soll es auf dem Altar räuchern: es ist eine Speise (Eig. ein Brot) des Feueropfers zum lieblichen Geruch; alles Fett gehört Jehova.

17 Eine ewige Satzung bei euren Geschlechtern in allen euren Wohnsitzen: alles Fett und alles Blut sollt ihr nicht essen.

Apocalypse Revealed # 781

781. "And merchandise of horses, and wagons, and the bodies and souls of people." This symbolically means that all of these things depend on an understanding of the Word and on doctrine drawn from it, and on the goods and truths in the Word's literal sense, which these Roman Catholics do not possess, because they have falsified and adulterated the Word by using the things in it contrary to their real meaning in order to gain dominion over heaven and the world.

The valuables here follow the preposition "of," because they involve all of the things that go before. That horses symbolize an understanding of the Word may be seen in no. 298. Chariots symbolize doctrine from the Word (no. 437); consequently so do wagons. The bodies and souls of people symbolize goods and truths in the literal sense of the Word, because they have the same symbolism as the body and blood in the Holy Supper. The body in that supper symbolizes the Lord's Divine goodness, and the blood the Lord's Divine truth; and because of this symbolism they also symbolize the Divine good and truth in the Word, because the Lord embodies the Word.

Instead of blood, however, the text here says souls. That is because the soul likewise symbolizes truth (see no. 681 above), and because blood in the Word is called the life or soul (Genesis 9:4-5). "Human lives" in Ezekiel 27:13 has a similar symbolic meaning. So does the "seed of men" in Daniel 2:43.

[2] Horses and wagons have a similar symbolic meaning in Isaiah:

Then they shall bring all your brethren... on horses and in chariots and in wagons, and on mules and on camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem... (Isaiah 66:20)

This is said of the Lord's New Church, which Jerusalem is, regarding people in it who have an understanding of the Word and doctrine derived from it, which are the horses, chariots, and wagons.

Now because these people of the Roman Catholic religion falsify and adulterate the Word by using it to gain dominion over heaven and the world, the symbolic meaning here is that they do not possess any goods and truths from the Word, and so do not have any in their doctrine either.

Regarding this Jeremiah says the following:

...the king of Babylon has devoured me, has thrown me into confusion; He has made me an empty vessel; He has swallowed me up like a whale; He has filled his stomach with my delicacies... (Jeremiah 51:34-35)

A sword is against the horses (of Babylon), against her chariots, and... against her treasures, so that they are plundered. A drought is upon her waters, so that they are dried up. For the land is one of carved images, and they boast of their dreadful deeds. (Jeremiah 50:37-38)

Leviticus 4:8-35

Studie

      

8 He shall take all the fat of the bull of the sin offering off of it; the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards,

9 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away,

10 as it is taken off of the bull of the sacrifice of peace offerings. The priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.

11 The bull's skin, all its flesh, with its head, and with its legs, its innards, and its dung,

12 even the whole bull shall he carry forth outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire. where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned.

13 "'If the whole congregation of Israel sins, and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and are guilty;

14 when the sin in which they have sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bull for a sin offering, and bring it before the Tent of Meeting.

15 The elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before Yahweh; and the bull shall be killed before Yahweh.

16 The anointed priest shall bring of the blood of the bull to the Tent of Meeting:

17 and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before Yahweh, before the veil.

18 He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before Yahweh, that is in the Tent of Meeting; and the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

19 All its fat he shall take from it, and burn it on the altar.

20 Thus shall he do with the bull; as he did with the bull of the sin offering, so shall he do with this; and the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.

21 He shall carry forth the bull outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.

22 "'When a ruler sins, and unwittingly does any one of all the things which Yahweh his God has commanded not to be done, and is guilty;

23 if his sin, in which he has sinned, is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a goat, a male without blemish.

24 He shall lay his hand on the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before Yahweh. It is a sin offering.

25 The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering. He shall pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering.

26 All its fat he shall burn on the altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin, and he will be forgiven.

27 "'If anyone of the common people sins unwittingly, in doing any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and is guilty;

28 if his sin, which he has sinned, is made known to him, then he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has sinned.

29 He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill the sin offering in the place of burnt offering.

30 The priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.

31 All its fat he shall take away, like the fat is taken away from off of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.

32 "'If he brings a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring a female without blemish.

33 He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering.

34 The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.

35 All its fat he shall take away, like the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them on the altar, on the offerings of Yahweh made by fire; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned, and he will be forgiven.
