3 Mose 6

Studie

   

1 5:20 Und der HERR redete mit Mose und sprach:

2 5:21 Wenn jemand sündigen würde und sich damit an dem Herrn vergreifen, daß er seinem Nebenmenschen ableugnet, was ihm dieser befohlen hat, oder was ihm zu treuer Hand getan ist, oder was er sich mit Gewalt genommen oder mit Unrecht an sich gebracht,

3 5:22 oder wenn er, was verloren ist, gefunden hat, und leugnet solches und tut einen falschen Eid über irgend etwas, darin ein Mensch wider seinen Nächsten Sünde tut;

4 5:23 wenn's nun geschieht, daß er also sündigt und sich verschuldet, so soll er wiedergeben, was er mit Gewalt genommen oder mit Unrecht an sich gebracht, oder was ihm befohlen ist, oder was er gefunden hat,

5 5:24 oder worüber er den falschen Eid getan hat; das soll er alles ganz wiedergeben, dazu den fünften Teil darüber geben dem, des es gewesen ist, des Tages, wenn er sein Schuldopfer gibt.

6 5:25 Aber für seine Schuld soll er dem HERRN zu dem Priester einen Widder von der Herde ohne Fehl bringen, der eines Schuldopfers wert ist.

7 5:26 So soll ihn der Priester versöhnen vor dem HERRN, so wird ihm vergeben alles, was er getan hat, darum er sich verschuldet hat.

8 6:1 Und der HERR redete mit Mose und sprach:

9 6:2 Gebiete Aaron und seinen Söhnen und sprich: Dies ist das Gesetz des Brandopfers. Das Brandopfer soll brennen auf dem Herd des Altars die ganze Nacht bis an den Morgen, und es soll des Altars Feuer brennend darauf erhalten werden.

10 6:3 Und der Priester soll seinen leinenen Rock anziehen und die leinenen Beinkleider an seinen Leib und soll die Asche aufheben, die das Feuer auf dem Altar gemacht hat, und soll sie neben den Altar schütten.

11 6:4 und soll seine Kleider darnach ausziehen und andere Kleider anziehen und die Asche hinaustragen aus dem Lager an eine reine Stätte.

12 6:5 Das Feuer auf dem Altar soll brennen und nimmer verlöschen; der Priester soll alle Morgen Holz darauf anzünden und obendarauf das Brandopfer zurichten und das Fett der Dankopfer darauf anzünden.

13 6:6 Ewig soll das Feuer auf dem Altar brennen und nimmer verlöschen.

14 6:7 Und das ist das Gesetz des Speisopfers, das Aarons Söhne opfern sollen vor dem HERRN auf dem Altar.

15 6:8 Es soll einer abheben eine Handvoll Semmelmehl vom Speisopfer und vom Öl und den ganzen Weihrauch, der auf dem Speisopfer liegt, und soll's anzünden auf dem Altar zum süßen Geruch, ein Gedächtnis dem HERRN.

16 6:9 Das übrige aber sollen Aaron und seine Söhne verzehren und sollen's ungesäuert essen an heiliger Stätte, im Vorhof der Hütte des Stifts.

17 6:10 Sie sollen's nicht mit Sauerteig backen; denn es ist ihr Teil, den ich ihnen gegeben habe von meinem Opfer. Es soll ihnen ein Hochheiliges sein gleichwie das Sündopfer und Schuldopfer.

18 6:11 Was männlich ist unter den Kindern Aarons, die sollen's essen. Das sei ein ewiges Recht euren Nachkommen an den Opfern des HERRN: es soll sie niemand anrühren, er sei den geweiht.

19 6:12 Und der HERR redete mit Mose und sprach:

20 6:13 Das soll das Opfer sein Aarons und seiner Söhne, das sie dem HERRN opfern sollen am Tage der Salbung: ein zehntel Epha Semmelmehl als tägliches Speisopfer, eine Hälfte des Morgens, die andere Hälfte des Abends.

21 6:14 In der Pfanne mit Öl sollst du es machen und geröstet darbringen; und in Stücken gebacken sollst du solches opfern zum süßen Geruch dem HERRN.

22 6:15 Und der Priester, der unter seinen Söhnen an seiner Statt gesalbt wird, soll solches tun; das ist ein ewiges Recht. Es soll dem HERRN ganz verbrannt werden;

23 6:16 denn alles Speisopfer eines Priesters soll ganz verbrannt und nicht gegessen werden.

24 6:17 Und der HERR redete mit Mose und sprach:

25 6:18 Sage Aaron und seinen Söhnen und sprich: Dies ist das Gesetz des Sündopfers. An der Stätte, da du das Brandopfer schlachtest, sollst du auch das Sündopfer schlachten vor dem HERRN; das ist ein Hochheiliges.

26 6:19 Der Priester, der das Sündopfer tut, soll's essen an heiliger Stätte, im Vorhof der Hütte des Stifts.

27 6:20 Niemand soll sein Fleisch anrühren, er sei denn geweiht. Und wer von seinem Blut ein Kleid besprengt, der soll das besprengte Stück waschen an heiliger Stätte.

28 6:21 Und den Topf, darin es gekocht ist, soll man zerbrechen. Ist's aber ein eherner Topf, so soll man ihn scheuern und mit Wasser spülen.

29 6:22 Was männlich ist unter den Priestern, die sollen davon essen; denn es ist ein Hochheiliges.

30 6:23 Aber all das Sündopfer, des Blut in die Hütte des Stifts gebracht wird, zu versöhnen im Heiligen, soll man nicht essen, sondern mit Feuer verbrennen.

1153. And fine flour and wheat signifies profaned worship from truths and goods that are from a spiritual origin. This is evident from the signification of "fine flour," as being truth from a spiritual origin (of which presently); also from the signification of "wheat," as being good from a spiritual origin (See n. 374, 375). These also signify worship because the meal offering was composed of them, which was offered with the sacrifices upon the altar the same as the wine and the oil; for the meal offerings were prepared with oil and the drink offerings with wine. And because of the crops of these they had rejoicings in festivals which were instituted to celebrate their harvests. "Fine flour" signifies truth from spiritual good because it is prepared from wheat, which signifies spiritual good, as truth comes from good.

[2] As this truth of the church was signified by "fine flour," it was prescribed what quantity of it should be used in the cakes that were called the meal offerings, which were offered with the sacrifices upon the altar (respecting which see Exodus 29; Leviticus 5 - Leviticus 7, 23; Numbers 18, 28, 29); also the quantity of fine flour in the show bread (Leviticus 23:17; 24:5); for it was commanded that the meal offering that was to be offered on the altar should be prepared from fine flour, and oil and frankincense poured thereon (Leviticus 2:1). Because of this signification of "fine flour," when Abraham talked with the three angels he said to Sarah his wife:

Hasten, knead three measures of flour, of fine flour, and make cakes (Genesis 18:6).

[3] "Fine flour" also signifies the truth of good from a spiritual origin in Ezekiel:

Thou didst eat fine flour, honey, and oil, whence thou didst become exceeding beautiful, and didst prosper even to a kingdom. My bread which I gave thee, fine flour, honey, and oil, with which I fed thee, thou didst offer before idols as an odor of rest (Ezekiel 16:13, 19).

This is said of Jerusalem, which signifies the church as to doctrine, and in that chapter is described what it had been in its beginning and what it became afterwards. "Fine flour and oil" signify truth and good from a spiritual origin, and "honey" good from a natural origin. "Thou didst become exceeding beautiful" signifies to be intelligent and wise; "to prosper even to a kingdom" signifies even to becoming a church, "kingdom" being the church; "to offer these to idols as an odor of rest" signifies the idolatrous worship into which the true worship of the church was afterwards changed.

[4] But "flour" from barley signifies truth from a natural origin, for "barley" signifies natural good, as "wheat" signifies spiritual good. Thus in Isaiah:

Take the millstone and grind flour, make thyself bare (Isaiah 47:2).

This is said of Babylon. "To take a millstone and grind flour" signifies to falsify the truths of the Word, and "to make oneself bare" signifies to adulterate the goods of the Word. In Hosea:

They sow the wind and they reap the whirlwind; he hath no standing corn, the blade shall yield no flour; and if perchance it do, strangers shall devour it (Hosea 8:7).

Here, too, "flour" signifies truth from a natural origin.

(Continuation respecting the Athanasian Faith)

[5] 5. The fifth law of the Divine providence is, That from sense and perception in himself man cannot know how good and truth flow in from the Lord, and how evil and falsity flow in from hell; nor can he see how the Divine providence operates in favor of good against evil; if he did he could not act from freedom according to reason as if from himself. It is sufficient for him to know and acknowledge this from the Word and from the doctrine of the church. This is what is meant by the Lord's words in John:

The wind bloweth where it willeth, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh or whither it goeth; so is everyone that is born of the spirit (John 3:8).

Also by these words in Mark:

The kingdom of God is like a man that casteth seed upon the earth and then sleepeth and riseth night and day; but the seed springeth up and groweth up when he knows it not, for the earth beareth fruit of herself, first the blade, then the ear, at length the full corn in the ear; and when the fruit is produced, he putteth in the sickle because the harvest is at hand (Mark 4:26, 29).

[6] Man does not perceive the operation of the Divine providence within him, because that would take away his freedom, and thus his ability to think as if of himself, and with it every delight of life; thus man would be like an automaton, in which there is no reciprocal, and by that, conjunction; also he would be a slave and not free. The Divine providence moves so secretly that scarcely a trace of it is seen, although it acts upon the most minute things of man's thought and will, which regard his eternal state, chiefly for the reason that the Lord continually wills to impress His love on man, and through it his wisdom, and thus create him into His image. Consequently the operation of the Lord is into man's love and from that into his understanding, and not the reverse. Love with its affections, which are manifold and innumerable, is perceived by man only by a most general feeling, and thus so slightly that there is scarcely anything of it; and yet that man may be reformed and saved he must be led from one affection of love into another according to their connection from order, a thing that no man and even no angel can at all comprehend.

[7] If a man should learn anything of these arcana, he could not be withheld from leading himself; and in this he would be continually led from heaven into hell, while the Lord's leading is continually from hell towards heaven. For from himself man constantly acts against order, while the Lord acts constantly according to order; for man, from the nature derived from his parents, is in the love of self and the love of the world, and consequently perceives from a feeling of delight everything belonging to those loves as good; nevertheless, those loves as ends must be removed; and this is done by the Lord in infinite ways, that appear like a labyrinth even before the angels of the third heaven.

[8] All this makes clear that man would find no help at all in knowing anything about this from sense or perception, but it would do him harm instead, and would destroy him forever. It is sufficient for man to know truths, and by means of truths to know what is good and what is evil, and to acknowledge the Lord and His Divine auspices in every least thing. Then so far as he knows truths, and by means of them what is good and evil, and does what is good as if from himself, so far the Lord leads him from love into wisdom, conjoining love to wisdom and wisdom to love, and making them to be one, because they are one in Himself. These ways by which the Lord leads man may be compared to the vessels through which the blood in man courses and circulates, also the fibers and their foldings within and without the viscera of the body, especially in the brain, through which the animal spirit flows and gives life.

[9] How all these things flow in and flow through, man knows nothing; and yet he lives if only he knows what he needs to do and does it. But the ways by which the Lord leads man are far more complicated and inexplicable, both those by which the Lord leads man through the societies of hell and away from them, and also those by which he leads him through the societies of heaven and interiorly into them. This, therefore, is what is meant by "the wind bloweth where it willeth, and thou knowest not whence it cometh and whither it goeth" (John 3:8), also by "the seed springeth up and groweth up, the man knoweth not how" (Mark 4:27). Moreover, of what consequence is it for a man to know how seed grows up, provided he knows how to plow and harrow the land, to sow the seed, and when he reaps his harvest to bless God?
