3 Mózes 7

Studie

   

1 Ez pedig a vétekért való áldozatnak törvénye; igen szentséges az.

2 A mely helyen megölik az egészen égõáldozatot, ott öljék meg a vétekért való áldozatot [is], és a vérét hintsék az oltárra köröskörül.

3 A kövérjét pedig áldozzák meg mind, a farkát is, és a mely kövér a belet takarja.

4 A két veséjét és a rajtuk lévõ kövérséget, a mely a véknyaknál van, úgyszintén a májon lévõ hártyát a vesékkel együtt szedje ki.

5 És füstölögtesse el azokat a pap az oltáron tûzáldozatul az Úrnak. Vétekért való áldozat ez.

6 A papok között minden férfiú eheti azt, szenthelyen egyék meg; igen szentséges az.

7 A milyen a bûnért való áldozat, olyan a vétekért való áldozat is, egy törvényök van nékik. Azé a papé az, a ki engesztelést szerez vele.

8 Ha a pap egészen égõáldozatot áldoz valakiért, az égõáldozat bõre, a melyet megáldoz, azé a papé legyen.

9 Minden ételáldozat is, a melyet kemenczében sütnek és minden, a mit rostélyon vagy serpenyõben készítenek, a papé legyen, a ki azt áldozta.

10 Az olajjal elegyített és száraz ételáldozat is mind az Áron fiaié legyen közösen, egyiké úgy, mint a másiké.

11 Ez pedig a hálaáldozat törvénye, a melyet áldoznak az Úrnak.

12 Ha dicsõítésül áldozza azt valaki, a dicsõítés áldozatjával együtt áldozzék olajjal elegyített kovásztalan lepényeket, és olajjal megkent kovásztalan pogácsákat, és lisztlángból gyúrt, olajjal elegyített lepényeket.

13 A lepényeken kivül kovászos kenyeret is vigyen áldozatául, dicsõítõ hálaáldozatjával együtt.

14 És mindezekbõl az áldozatokból áldozzék egyet-egyet az Úrnak felmutatott áldozatul; és legyen azé a papé, a ki a hálaáldozatnak vérét elhinti.

15 És az õ dicsõítõ hálaáldozatjának húsát, az õ áldozásának napján egyék meg; ne hagyjon abból reggelig.

16 Hogyha fogadásból vagy szabadakaratból áldozza valaki az õ áldozatát, a mely napon áldozza azt, azon a napon egyék meg az õ áldozatát; a mi pedig megmarad abból, másnap egyék meg.

17 A mi pedig annak az áldozatnak húsából [tovább is] megmarad, harmadnapon tûzzel égettessék meg.

18 Mert ha az õ hálaadó áldozatának húsából harmadnapon eszik valaki, nem lesz az kedves; a ki áldozta azt, annak nem számíttatik az az õ javára, sõt útálatos lesz; és valaki eszik abból, hordozza az õ vétségének terhét.

19 Azt a húst pedig, a mely valami tisztátalanhoz ér, meg ne egyék, [hanem] tûzzel égessék meg. A mi különben a húst illeti, mindenki ehetik húst, a ki tiszta;

20 De az, a ki eszik a békeáldozatnak húsából, a mely az Úré, noha az õ tisztátalansága rajta van, az ilyen ember gyomláltassék ki az õ népe közül.

21 Ha valaki akármi tisztátalanhoz ér, tisztátalan emberhez, vagy tisztátalan baromhoz, vagy akármihez, a mi tisztátalan útálatosság, és eszik a hálaadó áldozatnak húsából, a mely az Úré, gyomláltassék ki az az ember az õ népe közül.

22 Szóla ismét az Úr Mózesnek, mondván:

23 Szólj az Izráel fiainak, mondván: Az ökörnek, a báránynak és a kecskének semmi kövérjét meg ne egyétek.

24 A hullott állatnak kövérje, és a [vadtól] megszaggatottnak kövérje, akármi munkához felhasználható, de enni meg ne egyétek!

25 Mert akárki egyék is az aféle állatoknak kövérjébõl, a melyekbõl tûzáldozatot visznek az Úrnak, az az ember, a ki [ilyet] eszik, gyomláltassék ki az õ népe közül.

26 És semmi vért se egyetek meg bármely lakhelyeteken: se madárnak, se baromnak vérét.

27 Valaki megeszik valami féle vért, az az ember gyomláltassék ki az õ népe közül.

28 Szóla ismét az Úr Mózesnek és monda:

29 Szólj az Izráel fiainak, mondván: A ki hálaáldozattal áldozik az Úrnak, maga vigye az Úrnak az õ áldozatát az õ hálaáldozatából.

30 A maga keze vigye az Úrnak tûzáldozatát: a kövérjét a szegyével együtt vigye el, a szegyét [azért,] hogy meglóbálják azt az Úr elõtt.

31 A pap pedig füstölögtesse el azt a kövért az oltáron, a szegye pedig legyen Ároné és az õ fiaié.

32 A jobblapoczkát is a papnak adjátok a hálaadó áldozatból, hogy azt felmutassa.

33 A ki Áron fiai közül a hálaáldozat vérét és kövérjét megáldozza, a jobblapoczka annak a része legyen.

34 Mert a meglóbált szegyet és a felmutatott lapoczkát elveszem Izráel fiaitól az õ hálaadó áldozataikból, és adom azokat Áron papnak és az õ fiainak, örökre kiszabott részül, az Izráel fiaitól.

35 Ez az Áron felkenetési része, és az õ fiainak felkenetési része az Úrnak tûzáldozataiból, a naptól fogva, a melyen elõállítá õket, hogy papi szolgálatot tegyenek az Úrnak;

36 A melyet parancsolt az Úr, hogy adják nékik az Izráel fiai, a mely napon felkente õket, örökre kiszabott részül az õ nemzetségökben.

37 Ez az egészen égõáldozatnak, az ételáldozatnak, a bûnért és a vétekért való áldozatnak, a felavatási áldozatnak és a hálaáldozatnak törvénye,

38 A melyet parancsolt az Úr Mózesnek a Sinai hegyen, a mely napon parancsolta az Izráel fiainak a Sinai pusztában, hogy áldozzanak az Úrnak.

5943. 'And you will eat the fat of the land' means making the good there their own. This is clear from the meaning of 'eating' as being communicated, joined together, and made one's own, dealt with in 2187, 2343, 3168, 3517 (end), 3832, 4745; and from the meaning of 'the fat of the land' - of Egypt - as the good within the natural. The meaning of 'fat' as that which is celestial or good is clear from many places in the Word, not only the fat found in an animal's body but also fat obtained from other sources, such as butter and oil; and other products with any fat in them - such as milk, honeys, or resins - also mean good in the measure that they have it in them.

[2] 'Fat' was representative of celestial good, thus of love received from the Lord, as is clear from the burnt offerings and sacrifices in these all the fat had to be burned on the altar, thereby providing 'an odour of rest to Jehovah'; and the children of Israel were forbidden because of this to eat fat. From these regulations, as from all the rest, it may be plain to see that the observances established among the Israelites were representative of celestial and spiritual realities and thus held what was holy within them. If this had not been so there would have been no Divine purpose at all behind the requirements to sacrifice all the fat of an animal, making this 'an odour of rest to Jehovah', or behind the Prohibition that forbade the eating of fat, and also of blood. It would surely be a stupid way of thinking about the Divine if one were to believe that He could take pleasure in fat or that Jehovah should make a requirement that did not conceal something deeper. Furthermore a person would be far too earthly - and bodily-minded if he had no interest at all in knowing the real meaning of such requirements; it would be a sign that he had no desire to know anything about the Word and eternal life.

[3] Regarding 'the fat' the following is stated in Moses,

You shall take all the fat covering the entrails, and the omentum over the liver, and the fat on the kidneys; and you shall burn them on the altar. Exodus 29:13, 22.

See also Leviticus 3:4-5, 9-10, 14-15; 4:8-9, 19, 26, 31, 35; 7:3-4. They were also required to sacrifice the fat on the breast, Leviticus 7:30-31. The phrase 'an odour of rest to Jehovah' occurs in the following places,

This is the bread of Jehovah's fire-offering for an odour of rest. Leviticus 3:16. The priest shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of Jehovah, and shall offer the fat for an odour of rest to Jehovah. Leviticus 17:6.

And elsewhere,

The fat of the firstborn of an ox and of a sheep must be burned on the altar as an odour of rest to Jehovah. Numbers 18:17.

'An odour of rest' means the pleasure gained from the good of love.

[4] As regards the non-eating of fat by the children of Israel, Let all the fat be for Jehovah. Therefore this is a perpetual statute throughout your generations, in all your dwelling-places: You shall not eat any fat or any blood. Leviticus 3:16-17.

And elsewhere,

Speak to the children of Israel, saying, You shall not eat any fat, neither of ox, nor sheep, nor she-goat. Everyone who eats the fat from a beast, from one offered as a fire-offering to Jehovah, that soul eating it will be cut off from his peoples. Nor shall you eat any blood Leviticus 7:23-26.

[5] Burnt offerings and sacrifices were the main form taken by Divine worship among those people, 923, 2180. For this reason worship is meant by 'burnt offerings and sacrifices' in general, while the essential nature of worship is meant by what was offered in sacrifice and by the whole procedure followed then. 'The fat and the burning of it' meant the very Divine celestial itself, namely the good of love received from the Lord, as may also be seen in the following places:

In Isaiah,

Jacob, you have not bought Me [sweet] cane with silver, and you have not satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices; you have wearied Me so much with your sins. 1 Isaiah 43:24.

'You have not bought [sweet] cane with silver' stands for, You have not acquired the truths of faith for yourself; and 'you have not satisfied Me with the fat of sacrifices' stands for, Nor [have you offered] the good of love.

[6] In David,

I will offer You burnt offerings of fat ones, with the incense of rams. Psalms 66:15.

'Burnt offerings of fat ones' stands for worship fired by love. In Moses,

When it will be said, Where are their gods, the rock in which they trusted, who ate the fat of their sacrifices, [who] drank the wine of their drink-offering? Deuteronomy 32:37-38.

This would have been said by gentiles who imagined that the gods were fed especially by such offerings. They were totally unaware of the fact that 'the fat of sacrifices' was what was celestial, or the good of love, within worship, and that 'the wine of a drink-offering' was the truth of faith derived from that good. These offerings, when they were made, stirred the affections of the angels and were therefore prescribed so that through representatives and correspondences heaven might be near to man.

[7] In David,

Jehovah will remember all your offerings, and will make your burnt offering fat. Psalms 20:3.

'Making a burnt offering fat' stands for making worship good. In Isaiah,

Jehovah Zebaoth will make for all peoples on this mountain a feast of fat things, a feast of lees, 2 of fat things full of marrow, of sedimentary lees. 3 He will swallow up death for ever, and the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears from upon all faces. Isaiah 25:6, 8.

'A feast' stands for heaven and being joined to angels there through love and charity, 3596, 3832, 5161, 'fat things' being forms of the good of love and charity. In the same prophet,

Why do you spend money on that which is not bread, and your labour on that which does not satisfy? Attend diligently to Me and eat what is good, that your soul may delight itself in fatness. Isaiah 55:2.

[8] In Jeremiah,

I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and will give them gladness instead of their sorrow. And I will fill the soul of the priests with fat, and My people will be satisfied with My goodness. Jeremiah 31:13-14.

'Fat' plainly stands for what is good, for it is said that 'the soul will be satisfied' with it and it is referred to as 'Jehovah's goodness', meaning nothing else than what is celestial, which is received from Him. In David,

My soul will be satisfied as with fatness and fat, and my mouth will praise You with joyful lips. 4 Psalms 63:5.

Here the meaning is similar. In the same author,

You have crowned the year of Your goodness, and Your tracks drip with fatness. Psalms 65:11

In the same author,

The sons of man put their trust in the shadow of Your wings. They will be filled with the fat of Your house, and You give them drink from the river of Your delights. Psalms 36:7-8.

In Isaiah,

Then Jehovah will give rain for your seed with which you will sow the land, and bread of the produce of the earth; and there will be fatness and wealthiness. Isaiah 30:23.

[9] In John,

All things fat and splendid have gone away, and you will find them no more. Revelation 18:14.

This refers to Babylon. 'All things fat and splendid have gone away' stands for the departure of all forms of the good of love and truth of faith. In Moses,

He caused him to suck honey out of the crag and oil out of the stony rock - butter from the herd, and milk from the flock, with the fat of lambs and of rams, the breed 5 of Bashan, and of goats, with the kidney-fat of wheat; and of the blood of the grape you drink unmixed wine. Deuteronomy 32:13-14.

This refers to the spiritual Ancient Church, whose various kinds of good - meant by 'honey', 'oil', 'butter', 'milk', and 'fat' - are enumerated.

[10] Because 'fat' meant good, the word was also applied to the kinds of things that had no fat in them but nevertheless had good as their meaning, so that 'fat' and 'good' were so to speak one and the same. An example of this is the fat of wheat in the verses quoted immediately above, and similarly in David,

I would feed them with the fat of wheat. Psalms 81:16.

And elsewhere,

He is the one who makes peace your border, and with the fat of wheat He satisfies you. Psalms 147:14.

Also in Moses,

Because all the fat of the pure oil, and all the fat of the new wine and of the grain, which were the first fruits, were Jehovah's, they were given to Aaron. Numbers 18:12.

Leviticus 17

Studie

   

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2 "Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them: 'This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded,

3 Whatever man there is of the house of Israel, who kills a bull, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp,

4 and hasn't brought it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to offer it as an offering to Yahweh before the tabernacle of Yahweh: blood shall be imputed to that man. He has shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people.

5 This is to the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, that they may bring them to Yahweh, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace offerings to Yahweh.

6 The priest shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of Yahweh at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and burn the fat for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

7 They shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to the goat idols, after which they play the prostitute. This shall be a statute forever to them throughout their generations.'

8 "You shall say to them, 'Any man there is of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice,

9 and doesn't bring it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to sacrifice it to Yahweh; that man shall be cut off from his people.

10 "'Any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who eats any kind of blood, I will set my face against that soul who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people.

11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life.

12 Therefore I have said to the children of Israel, "No person among you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger who lives as a foreigner among you eat blood."

13 "'Whatever man there is of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who takes in hunting any animal or bird that may be eaten; he shall pour out its blood, and cover it with dust.

14 For as to the life of all flesh, its blood is with its life: therefore I said to the children of Israel, "You shall not eat the blood of any kind of flesh; for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off."

15 "'Every person that eats what dies of itself, or that which is torn by animals, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening: then he shall be clean.

16 But if he doesn't wash them, or bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.'"
