Esodo 29

Studie

   

1 E QUESTO è quello che tu farai loro per consacrarli, acciocchè mi esercitino il sacerdozio. Prendi un giovenco, e due montoni, senza difetto;

2 e de’ pani azzimi, e delle focacce azzime, intrise con olio; e delle schiacciate azzime, unte con olio; fai quelle cose di fior di farina di frumento.

3 E mettile in un paniere, e presentale in esso paniere, col giovenco, e co’ due montoni.

4 E fa’ accostare Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli, all’entrata del Tabernacolo della convenenza; e lavali con acqua.

5 Poi prendi que’ vestimenti, e fa’ vestire ad Aaronne la Tonica, e il Manto dell’Efod, e l’Efod, e il Pettorale; e cingilo al fregio lavorato dell’Efod.

6 Poi mettigli in sul capo la Benda, e sopra la Benda metti il sacro Diadema.

7 E piglia dell’olio dell’Unzione, e spandiglielo in sul capo, e ungilo.

8 Poi fa’ accostare i suoi figliuoli, e fa’ lor vestire le toniche.

9 E cingi Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli con le cinture; e allaccia loro le mitrie; e sia loro il sacerdozio per istatuto perpetuo. Così consacra Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli.

10 Poi fa’ accostar quel giovenco davanti al Tabernacolo della convenenza, e posino Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli le mani sopra il capo del giovenco.

11 Poi scanna il giovenco davanti al Signore, all’entrata del Tabernacolo della convenenza.

12 E piglia del sangue del giovenco, e col dito mettine sopra le corna dell’Altare, poi spandi tutto il sangue appiè dell’Altare.

13 Prendi ancora tutto i grasso che copre l’interiora, e la rete ch’è sopra il fegato, e i due arnioni, col grasso ch’è sopra essi; e, bruciando quelle cose, fanne profumo sopra l’Altare.

14 Ma brucia col fuoco, fuor del campo, la carne, la pelle, e lo sterco del giovenco; egli è sacrificio per lo peccato.

15 Poi piglia uno de’ montoni; e posino Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli le mani sopra il capo del montone.

16 Poi scanna il montone, e prendine il sangue, e spargilo sopra l’Altare, attorno attorno.

17 Poi taglia il montone a pezzi, e lava le sue interiora, e i suoi piedi, e mettili sopra i pezzi, e sopra il capo di esso.

18 E, bruciando il montone tutto intiero, fanne profumo sopra l’Altare; egli è un olocausto al Signore, egli è un odor soave, un’offerta fatta col fuoco al Signore.

19 Poi prendi l’altro montone; e posino Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli le mani sopra il capo del montone.

20 Poi scanna il montone, e piglia del suo sangue, e mettilo in sul tenerume dell’orecchia destra di Aaronne e de’ suoi figliuoli, e in sul dito grosso della lor man destra, e in sul dito grosso del loro piè destro; poi spargi il sangue sopra l’Altare, attorno attorno.

21 Prendi, oltre a ciò, del sangue che sarà sopra l’Altare, e dell’olio dell’Unzione, e spruzzane Aaronne e i suoi vestimenti; e parimente i suoi figliuoli e i lor vestimenti. Così sarà consacrato egli e i suoi vestimenti; e parimente i suoi figliuoli e i lor vestimenti, con lui.

22 Poi piglia del montone il grasso, e la coda, e il grasso che copre l’interiora, e la rete del fegato, e i due arnioni, e il grasso ch’è sopra essi, e la spalla destra; perciocchè egli è il montone delle consacrazioni.

23 Prendi ancora dal paniere degli azzimi, che sarà davanti al Signore, una fetta di pane, e una focaccia intrisa nell’olio, e una schiacciata.

24 E metti tutte coteste cose sopra le palme delle mani di Aaronne, e sopra le palme delle mani de’ suoi figliuoli, e falle dimenare come offerta dimenata davanti al Signore.

25 Poi prendi quelle cose dalle lor mani; e, bruciandole sopra l’Altare, fanne profumo sopra l’olocausto, per odor soave davanti al Signore. Quest’è un’offerta fatta col fuoco al Signore.

26 Prendi ancora il petto del montone delle consacrazioni, che è per Aaronne, e fallo dimenare davanti al Signore per offerta dimenata. E quello sia per tua parte.

27 Così santifica il petto di offerta dimenata, e la spalla di offerta elevata, che sarà stata dimenata ed elevata, del montone delle consacrazioni e di ciò che è stato offerto per Aaronne, e per li suoi figliuoli.

28 E quello, per istatuto perpetuo, appartenga ad Aaronne e a’ suoi figliuoli, e prendasi da’ figliuoli d’Israele; conciossiachè sia un’offerta elevata; or le offerte elevate si prenderanno dai figliuoli d’Israele de’ lor sacrificii da render grazie; le loro offerte elevate apparterranno al Signore.

29 E i vestimenti sacri, che sono per Aaronne, saranno per li suoi figliuoli dopo lui, per essere unti, e consacrati, in essi.

30 Vestali per sette giorni il Sacerdote che sarà in luogo di esso, d’infra i suoi figliuoli; il quale entrerà nel Tabernacolo della convenenza, per fare il servigio nel luogo Santo.

31 Poi prendi il montone delle consacrazioni, e cuoci la sua carne in luogo santo.

32 E mangino Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli, all’entrata del Tabernacolo della convenenza, la carne del montone, e il pane che sarà in quel paniere.

33 Mangino, dico, quelle cose, con le quali sarà stato fatto il purgamento del peccato, per consacrarli e per santificarli; e non mangine alcuno straniere; conciossiachè sieno cosa santa.

34 E se pur vi rimarrà della carne delle consacrazioni, e di quel pane, fino alla mattina, brucia col fuoco quello che ne sarà rimasto, e non si mangi; perciocchè è cosa santa.

35 Fa’ adunque ad Aaronne e a’ suoi figliuoli, interamente com’io ti ho comandato; consacrali per lo spazio di sette giorni.

36 E sacrifica un giovenco per lo peccato, per giorno, per li purgamenti del peccato; e fa’ sacrificio per lo peccato per l’Altare, quando tu farai il purgamento per esso; e ungilo, per consacrarlo.

37 Fa’ il purgamento per l’altare, per sette giorni; e così consacralo, e sia l’altare una cosa santissima; tutto quello che toccherà l’altare sia sacro.

38 OR questo è quello che tu sacrificherai sopra l’Altare, cioè: due agnelli di un anno, per giorno, del continuo.

39 Sacrificane uno la mattina, e l’altro fra i due vespri.

40 Con la decima parte di un’efa di fior di farina, stemperata con la quarta parte di un hin d’olio vergine, e un’offerta da spandere, di una quarta parte di un hin di vino, per l’uno degli agnelli.

41 E sacrifica l’altro agnello fra i due vespri, facendo con esso la medesima offerta e spargimento, come con quel della mattina; per soave odore, per offerta fatta per fuoco al Signore.

42 Sia questo un olocausto continuo, per le vostre generazioni, e facciasi all’entrata del Tabernacolo della convenenza, davanti al Signore, dove io mi ritroverò con voi, per parlar quivi a te.

43 Io adunque mi ritroverò quivi co’ figliuoli d’Israele, e Israele sarà santificato per la mia gloria.

44 Io santificherò ancora il Tabernacolo della convenenza, e l’Altare; santificherò parimente Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli, acciocchè mi esercitino il sacerdozio.

45 E abiterò nel mezzo de’ figliuoli d’Israele, e sarò loro Dio.

46 E dessi conosceranno ch’io sono il Signore Iddio loro, che li ho tratti fuor del paese di Egitto, per abitar nel mezzo di loro. Io sono il Signore Iddio loro.

   


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

3869. And said, Because Jehovah hath heard. That in the supreme sense this signifies providence; in the internal sense, the will of faith; in the interior sense, obedience; in the external sense, hearing; in the present case faith in the will, which is from the Lord alone, is evident from the signification of “hearing.” That “to hear” is of the sense of hearing, it is needless to explain; but that in the interior sense “to hear” is obedience, and in the internal sense faith in the will, is evident from many passages in the Word (as will be seen presently); and also from the nature of hearing in respect to that of sight. That in the interior sense “sight” is understanding, and in the internal sense, faith in the understanding, may be seen above (see n. 3863); and this because the quality of things becomes apparent by the internal sight, and thereby they are apprehended by a kind of faith, but an intellectual kind. In like manner when the things which are heard penetrate to the interiors, they are also changed into something like sight, for what is heard is seen interiorly; and therefore by “hearing” there is also signified that which is signified by “sight,” namely, that which is of the understanding, and also that which is of faith; but the hearing at the same time persuades that the case is so, and affects not only the intellectual part of man, but also his will part, and causes him to will that which he sees. Hence it is that “hearing” signifies the understanding of a thing, and at the same time obedience; and in the spiritual sense, faith in the will.

[2] As all this is latent in hearing, namely, obedience and faith in the will, therefore these likewise are signified in common speech by “hearing,” “hearkening,” and “attending;” for “to hear” is to be obedient; and “to hearken to anyone” is also to obey. For the interior things of a matter are sometimes thus contained within the expressions of man’s speech, for the reason that it is the spirit of man which thinks and perceives the meaning of the expressions of speech, and this is in a certain communion with spirits and angels, who are in the first principles of the expressions. Moreover, such is the circle of things in man, that whatever enters by the ear and eye, or by the hearing and sight, passes into his understanding, and through the understanding into the will, and from the will into act. And in like manner the truth of faith first becomes the truth of faith in memory-knowledge; afterwards the truth of faith in the will; and lastly the truth of faith in act, thus charity. Faith in memory-knowledge, or in the understanding, is “Reuben,” as already shown; faith in the will is “Simeon;” and when faith in the will becomes charity it is “Levi.”

[3] That in the supreme sense “to hear” signifies providence, may be seen from what has been said above (n. 3863) concerning “seeing,” as being in the supreme sense foresight; for the Lord’s foreseeing is the seeing from eternity to eternity that the case is so; but the Lord’s providing is the directing that it be so; and is the bending of man’s freedom to good, insofar as He foresees that man will suffer himself to be bent in freedom (see n. 3854).

[4] That by “Jehovah hearing,” from which Simeon was named, in the interior sense is signified obedience, and in the internal sense faith in the will from the Lord alone, is manifest from very many passages in the Word; as from the following.

In Matthew:

Behold a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him (Matthew 17:5);

“to hear Him” denotes to have faith in Him, and to obey His commandments; thus to have faith in the will.

In John:

Verily, verily, I say unto you, that the hour cometh when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live. Marvel not at this; for the hour cometh in which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice (John 5:25, 28);

“to hear the voice of the Son of God” denotes to have faith in the words of the Lord, and to will them. They who have faith of the will, receive life; wherefore it is said, “they that hear shall live.”

[5] Again:

He who entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep; to him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice. And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice, and there shall be one flock, and one shepherd. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me (John 10:2-3, 16, 27);

“to hear the voice” manifestly denotes to obey from faith of the will. Again:

Everyone that is of the truth heareth My voice (John 18:37); where the same thing is meant.

In Luke:

Abraham said unto him, They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them. If they hear not Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rose from the dead (Luke 16:29, 31);

“to hear Moses and the Prophets” denotes to know the things contained in the Word, and to have faith therein; thus also to will them; for to have faith and not to will, is to see and not to hear, but to have faith and to will is both to “see” 1 and to “hear;” wherefore both “seeing” and “hearing” are mentioned together in the Word throughout; and by “seeing” is signified the same as by “Reuben;” and by “hearing” the same as by “Simeon;” for they are joined together as brother to brother.

[6] That “seeing” and “hearing” are mentioned together, is evident from the following passages.

In Matthew:

Therefore speak I to them by parables; because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive; for this people’s heart is waxed gross, and with ears they have heard dully, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart. But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear. Verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things which ye hear, and have not heard them (Matthew 13:13-17; John 12:40; Isaiah 6:9).

In Mark:

Jesus said to the disciples, Why reason ye because ye have no bread? Do ye not yet comprehend, neither understand? Have ye your heart yet hardened? Having eyes, see ye not? And having ears, hear ye not? (Mark 8:17-18).

[7] In Luke:

Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God; but to others in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not hear (Luke 8:10).

In Isaiah:

The eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be opened (Isaiah 35:5).

Again:

And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of thick darkness, and out of darkness (Isaiah 29:18).

Again:

Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see (Isaiah 42:18).

Again:

Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears (Isaiah 43:8).

Again:

The eyes of them that see shall not be closed, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken (Isaiah 32:3).

Again:

Thine eyes shall see thy teachers, and thine ears shall hear a word (Isaiah 30:20-21).

Again:

He that stoppeth his ear from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil, shall dwell on high (Isaiah 33:15-16).

In Ezekiel:

Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of the house of rebellion, that have eyes to see, and see not; that have ears to hear, and hear not (Ezekiel 12:2).

In these passages mention is made of both “seeing” and “hearing” because the one follows the other; that is, faith in the understanding which is “seeing,” and faith in the will which is “hearing;” otherwise it would have been sufficient to mention one only; and from this it is also evident why one son of Jacob was named from “seeing” and another from “hearing.”

[8] That “seeing” signifies faith in memory-knowledge or in the understanding; and “hearing,” faith in obedience or in the will, is from the correspondences in the other life, and the derivative significatives; for those who are intellectual and are thence in faith belong to the province of the eye; and those who are obedient and thence in faith belong to the province of the ear. That this is the case will be seen at the close of the chapters, where of the Lord’s Divine mercy the Grand Man, and the correspondence of all things in the human body therewith, will be described.

[9] Hence then it is that in the internal sense the “eye” is the understanding (n. 2701); and that the “ear” is obedience, and in the spiritual sense the derivative faith, or faith in the will; as is evident also from the following passages.

In Isaiah:

Yea, thou heardest not yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time thine ear opened not itself (Isaiah 48:8).

Again:

The Lord Jehovih will waken mine ear to hear, as they that are taught; the Lord Jehovih hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious (Isaiah 50:4-5).

Again:

In attending attend to Me, and eat ye that which is good, that your soul may delight itself in fatness; incline your ear, and come unto Me; hear that your soul may live (Isaiah 55:2-3).

In Jeremiah:

To whom shall I speak and testify, that they may hear; behold their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken (Jeremiah 6:10).

Again:

This thing I commanded them, saying, Hear ye My voice and I will be your God, and ye shall be My people; and they heard not, nor inclined their ear (Jeremiah 7:23-24, 26).

Again:

Hear the word of Jehovah, O ye women; and let your ear receive the word of His mouth (Jeremiah 9:20).

Again:

Ye have not inclined your ear, and have not obeyed Me (Jeremiah 35:15).

In Ezekiel:

Son of man, all My words that I have spoken unto thee, receive in thy heart, and hear with thine ears (Ezekiel 3:10).

Again:

I will set my zeal against thee, and they shall deal with thee in fury; they shall take away thy nose and thine ears (Ezekiel 23:25);

“to take away the nose and the ears” denotes the perception of truth and good, and the obedience of faith.

In Zechariah:

They refused to hearken, and turned a stubborn shoulder, and made their ears heavy, that they should not hear; and their heart have they set as adamant, that they might not hear the law (Zech. 7:11-12).

[10] In Amos:

Thus saith Jehovah, As the shepherd snatcheth out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the sons of Israel be snatched away in Samaria, in the corner of a bed, and on the end of a couch (Amos 3:12);

“to snatch the two legs” denotes the will of good; and the “piece of an ear,” the will of truth. That a “piece of an ear” denotes this can as before said be seen solely from the correspondences in the other life, and the derivative significatives, according to which is the internal sense of the Word, and also the rituals in the Israelitish and Jewish Church. Hence it was that when Aaron and his sons were inaugurated into the ministry, it was commanded, among other things, that Moses should take of the blood of a ram, and should put it on the tip of Aaron’s ear, and upon the tip of the ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot (Exodus 29:20). By this ritual was represented the will of faith, into which also as priest he was to be initiated. That this ritual was holy, everyone may know, because it was enjoined upon Moses by Jehovah; and so also putting blood on the tip of the ear was holy. But what particular holy thing this signified can be known only from the internal sense of things in the Word, which sense here is that the holy of faith from the will must be preserved.

[11] That by the “ear” is signified obedience, and in the internal sense the consequent faith, is still more plainly evident from the ritual respecting a servant who was not willing to depart from service; concerning whom we read in Moses:

If a manservant or maidservant shall not be willing to depart from service, his master shall bring him unto God, and shall bring him to the door, or unto the doorpost, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him forever (Exodus 21:5-6; Deuteronomy 15:17);

“boring the ear through with an awl at the doorpost” signifies serving or obeying perpetually; in the spiritual sense it signifies not to will to understand truth, but to will truth from obedience, which relatively is not freedom.

[12] As in the internal sense the obedience of faith is understood by “ears,” and obeying by “hearing,” it is evident what is signified by these words of the Lord, so often uttered by Him:

He that hath an ear to hear, let him hear (Matthew 13:9, 43; Mark 4:9, 23; 7:16; Luke 8:8; 14:35; Revelation 2:7, 11, 29; 3:13, 22).

[13] That in the supreme sense “to hear” signifies providence, and “to see” foresight, is evident from the passages in the Word where “eyes” and “ears” are predicated of Jehovah or the Lord; as in Isaiah:

Incline Thine ear, O Jehovah and hear; open Thine eyes, O Jehovah and see (Isaiah 37:17).

In Daniel:

O my God, incline Thine ear and hear; open O Jehovah Thine eyes and see our wastes (Daniel 9:18).

In David:

O God, incline Thine ear unto me, and hear my speech (Psalms 17:6).

Again:

Incline Thine ear unto me, and save me (Psalms 71:2).

Again:

Turn Thine ear to my prayers because of Thy truth, answer me because of Thy righteousness (Psalms 143:1).

In Jeremiah:

O Jehovah, Thou heardest my voice; hide not Thine ear at my sighing, at my cry (Lam. 3:55-56).

In David:

O Jehovah, hide not Thy faces from me in the day of my distress; incline Thine ear to me; in the day when I cry, answer me (Psalms 102:1-2).

It is known that Jehovah has not ears nor eyes like a man, but that it is some attribute predicable of the Divine that is signified by the “ear” and by the “eye,” namely, infinite will and infinite understanding. Infinite will is providence, and infinite understanding is foresight; these are what are understood by “ear” and “eye” in the supreme sense, when they are attributed to Jehovah. From all this it is now manifest what in every sense is signified by “Jehovah hath heard,” from which Simeon was named.
