Levitico 7

Studie

   

1 Or quest’è la legge del sacrificio per la colpa; è cosa santissima:

2 Scannisi il sacrificio per la colpa nello stesso luogo dove si scannano gli olocausti; e spargasene il sangue sopra l’Altare, attorno attorno.

3 E offeriscasene tutto il grasso, la coda, e il grasso che copre l’interiora;

4 e i due arnioni, e il grasso che è sopra essi, che è sopra i fianchi; e levisi la rete che è in sul fegato, insieme co’ due arnioni.

5 E faccia il sacerdote bruciar quelle cose sopra l’Altare, per offerta fatta per fuoco al Signore; è sacrificio per la colpa.

6 Ogni maschio d’intra i sacerdoti ne potrà mangiare; mangisi in luogo santo: è cosa santissima.

7 Facciasi al sacrificio per la colpa, come al sacrificio per lo peccato; siavi una stessa legge per l’uno e per l’altro; sia quel sacrificio del sacerdote, il qual con esso avrà fatto il purgamento del peccato.

8 Parimente abbia per sè il sacerdote, che avrà offerto l’olocausto di alcuno, la pelle dell’olocausto ch’egli avrà offerto.

9 Così ancora ogni offerta di panatica che si cuocerà al forno, o si apparecchierà nella padella, o in su la teglia sia del sacerdote che l’offerirà.

10 Ma ogni offerta di panatica, intrisa con olio, o asciutta, sia di tutti i figliuoli di Aaronne indifferentemente.

11 E quest’è la legge del sacrificio da render grazie, che si offerirà al Signore.

12 Se alcuno l’offerisce per sacrificio di laude, offerisca, oltre ad esso sacrificio di laude, delle focacce azzime, intrise con olio, e delle schiacciate azzime, unte con olio; e del fior di farina, cotta in su la teglia, in focacce intrise con olio.

13 Offerisca ancora per sua offerta, oltre a quelle focacce, del pan lievitato, insieme col suo sacrificio di laude, da render grazie.

14 E di quel pane lievitato, presentine uno di tutta l’offerta, in offerta elevata al Signore; ed esso sia del sacerdote che avrà sparso il sangue del sacrificio da render grazie.

15 E mangisi la carne del suo sacrificio di laude da render grazie, nel giorno stesso ch’egli avrà fatta la sua offerta; non lascisene nulla di avanzo fino alla mattina.

16 E se il sacrificio ch’egli offerirà è votato, o volontario, mangisi nel giorno stesso ch’egli l’avrà offerto; e se ne rimane alcuna cosa, mangisi il giorno seguente.

17 E brucisi col fuoco quello che sarà rimasto della carne di esso sacrificio fino al terzo giorno.

18 E se pure al terzo giorno si mangia della carne del sacrificio di colui da render grazie, colui che l’avrà offerto non sarà gradito; quello non gli sarà imputato; sarà fracidume; e la persona che ne avrà mangiato porterà la sua iniquità.

19 E di questa carne ciò che avrà toccata qualunque cosa immonda, non mangisi; brucisi col fuoco; quant’è a questa carne, mangine chiunque è mondo.

20 Ma la persona che avrà mangiata della carne del sacrificio da render grazie, offerto al Signore, avendo la sua immondizia addosso, sia ricisa da’ suoi popoli.

21 Parimente la persona, la quale, avendo toccata qualunque cosa immonda, come immondizia d’uomo, o alcun animale immondo, o alcun rettile immondo, mangerà della carne del sacrificio da render grazie, offerta al Signore, sia ricisa da’ suoi popoli.

22 Il Signore parlò ancora a Mosè, dicendo: Parla a’ figliuoli d’Israele, dicendo:

23 Non mangiate alcun grasso, nè di bue, nè di pecora, nè di capra.

24 Ben potrassi adoperare in qualunque altro uso il grasso di una bestia morta da sè, o il grasso di una bestia lacerata dalle fiere; ma non mangiatelo per niuna maniera.

25 Perciocchè, se alcuno mangia del grasso di alcun animale, del quale si offerisce sacrificio fatto per fuoco al Signore, la persona che ne mangerà sarà ricisa da’ suoi popoli.

26 Parimente, non mangiate, in niuna delle vostre abitazioni, alcun sangue, nè di uccelli, nè di bestie.

27 Qualunque persona avrà mangiato alcun sangue, sia ricisa da’ suoi popoli.

28 Il Signore parlò, oltre a ciò, a Mosè, dicendo:

29 Parla a’ figliuoli d’Israele, dicendo: Se alcuno offerisce al Signore un suo sacrificio da render grazie, porti egli stesso al Signore la sua offerta del sacrificio da render grazie.

30 Portino le sue mani stesse quelle cose che si hanno da ardere al Signore; porti il grasso, insieme col petto; il petto, per esser dimenato per offerta dimenata, nel cospetto del Signore.

31 E faccia il sacerdote bruciare il grasso sopra l’Altare; e il petto sia di Aaronne e de’ suoi figliuoli.

32 Date ancora al sacerdote, per offerta elevata, la spalla destra de’ vostri sacrificii da render grazie.

33 Sia quella spalla destra di colui de’ figliuoli di Aaronne che avrà offerto il sangue, e il grasso de’ sacrificii da render grazie, per sua parte.

34 Perciocchè io ho preso dai figliuoli d’Israele il petto dell’offerta dimenata, e la spalla dell’offerta elevata, de’ lor sacrificii da render grazie; e ho date al Sacerdote Aaronne, e a’ suoi figliuoli, per istatuto perpetuo, quelle cose che si devono prendere da’ figliuoli d’Israele.

35 Quest’è il diritto dell’Unzione di Aaronne, e dell’Unzione dei figliuoli suoi, che si deve torre dell’offerte fatte per fuoco al Signore, il quale è stato loro assegnato nel giorno che il Signore li ha fatti accostare, per esercitargli il sacerdozio.

36 Il quale il Signore ha comandato che sia loro dato da’ figliuoli d’Israele, nel giorno che li ha unti, per istatuto perpetuo, per le lor generazioni.

37 Quest’è la legge dell’olocausto, dell’offerta di panatica, e del sacrificio per lo peccato, e del sacrificio per la colpa, e del sacrificio delle consacrazioni, e del sacrificio da render grazie;

38 la quale il Signore diede a Mosè, in sul monte di Sinai, nel giorno ch’egli comandò nel deserto di Sinai, a’ figliuoli d’Israele, d’offerir le loro offerte al Signore.

   


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.

9938. 'Which the children of Israel shall sanctify, even in all their gifts of holy things' means acts of worship representative of removal from sins. This is clear from the meaning of 'gifts' - or presents, which among the Israelite and Jewish nation were primarily burnt offerings, sacrifices, and minchahs - as the inner realities of acts of worship; for those realities were represented by these acts. The inner realities of worship are the fruits of love and faith; they are therefore pardonings of sins, that is, removals from them, since faith and love are the means by which the Lord moves sins away. For in the measure that the good of love and faith comes in, or what amounts to the same thing, heaven comes in, sins are removed, that is, hell is removed - the hell within the person as well as the hell outside him. From this it is evident what should be understood by the gifts which they made holy, that is, offered. The gifts were called holy, and giving or offering them was called sanctifying them, because they represented holy realities. For they were offered to expiate people, thus to remove them from their sins, which is accomplished by means of faith in and love to the Lord received from the Lord.

[2] Gifts and presents were said to be made to Jehovah, though Jehovah, that is, the Lord, is not the receiver of gifts or presents, but the giver of them, freely to everyone. Even so, His will is that they should come from a person as though they did so from that person himself, provided the person acknowledges that they do not actually come from him but from the Lord. For the Lord imparts a desire to do good because he loves it, and a desire to speak the truth because he believes it. The actual desire flows in from the Lord, yet appears to be inherent in the person and so to flow from the person. For whatever a person does out of love and desire for it, he does from his life, love being what composes anyone's life. From this it is evident that the things that are called gifts and presents made to the Lord by a person are essentially gifts and presents made to a person by the Lord, and that they are called gifts and presents on account of what they appear to be. All who are wise at heart recognize this appearance, but not so the simple. Yet their gifts and presents are acceptable, so far as they are made in ignorance that has innocence within it. Innocence is the good of love to God, and dwells within ignorance, especially with the wise at heart. Those who are wise at heart know, indeed perceive, that nothing whatever of the wisdom within themselves originates in themselves, but that the all of wisdom is attributable to the Lord, that is, the all of the good of love and the all of the truth of faith are attributable to Him, and that for this reason even with the wise innocence dwells in ignorance. From this it is evident that the acknowledgement of this matter, and especially the perception of it, constitutes the innocence of wisdom.

[3] The gifts offered in the Jewish Church, which were primarily burnt offerings, sacrifices, and minchahs, were also spoken of as offerings made for the expiations of sins; for they were offered for the sake of being pardoned from sins, that is, being removed from them. Those who belonged to that Church also thought that sins were pardoned, indeed completely taken away, by means of these offerings; for it is said of people who have offered them that they will be pardoned, see Leviticus 4:26, 31, 35; 5:6, 10, 13, 16, 18; 6:7; 9:7; 15:15, 30. But they were unaware of the fact that their gifts represented more internal things, thus the kinds of things that are done by a person from love and faith received from the Lord; that these are what expiate, that is, remove sins; and that when they have been removed they appear to have been completely removed or banished, as has been shown above in the present paragraph and the one before it. The worship of that nation was representative, and so was external devoid of anything internal; and it was by means of this worship that heaven was joined to mankind, in those times, see the places referred to in 9320 (end), 9380.

Mark 14

Studie

   

1 It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception, and kill him.

2 For they said, "Not during the feast, because there might be a riot of the people."

3 While he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster jar of ointment of pure nard--very costly. She broke the jar, and poured it over his head.

4 But there were some who were indignant among themselves, saying, "Why has this ointment been wasted?

5 For this might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and given to the poor." They grumbled against her.

6 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me.

7 For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; but you will not always have me.

8 She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.

9 Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial of her."

10 Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them.

11 They, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought how he might conveniently deliver him.

12 On the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover, his disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go and prepare that you may eat the Passover?"

13 He sent two of his disciples, and said to them, "Go into the city, and there you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him,

14 and wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house, 'The Teacher says, "Where is the guest room, Where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"'

15 He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Get ready for us there."

16 His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.

17 When it was evening he came with the twelve.

18 As they sat and were eating, Jesus said, "Most certainly I tell you, one of you will betray me--he who eats with me."

19 They began to be sorrowful, and to ask him one by one, "Surely not I?" And another said, "Surely not I?"

20 He answered them, "It is one of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish.

21 For the Son of Man goes, even as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born."

22 As they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had blessed, he broke it, and gave to them, and said, "Take, eat. This is my body."

23 He took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them. They all drank of it.

24 He said to them, "This is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many.

25 Most certainly I tell you, I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it anew in the Kingdom of God."

26 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

27 Jesus said to them, "All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.'

28 However, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee."

29 But Peter said to him, "Although all will be offended, yet I will not."

30 Jesus said to him, "Most certainly I tell you, that you today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times."

31 But he spoke all the more, "If I must die with you, I will not deny you." They all said the same thing.

32 They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I pray."

33 He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.

34 He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch."

35 He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.

36 He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire."

37 He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn't you watch one hour?

38 Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

39 Again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.

40 Again he returned, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they didn't know what to answer him.

41 He came the third time, and said to them, "Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

42 Arise, let us be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand."

43 Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came--and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.

44 Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, "Whoever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely."

45 When he had come, immediately he came to him, and said, "Rabbi! Rabbi!" and kissed him.

46 They laid their hands on him, and seized him.

47 But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

48 Jesus answered them, "Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?

49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn't arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled."

50 They all left him, and fled.

51 A certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself, over his naked body. The young men grabbed him,

52 but he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

53 They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together with him.

54 Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.

55 Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.

56 For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony didn't agree with each other.

57 Some stood up, and gave false testimony against him, saying,

58 "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.'"

59 Even so, their testimony did not agree.

60 The high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?"

61 But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

62 Jesus said, "I am. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky."

63 The high priest tore his clothes, and said, "What further need have we of witnesses?

64 You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?" They all condemned him to be worthy of death.

65 Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, "Prophesy!" The officers struck him with the palms of their hands.

66 As Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of the high priest came,

67 and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, "You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus!"

68 But he denied it, saying, "I neither know, nor understand what you are saying." He went out on the porch, and the rooster crowed.

69 The maid saw him, and began again to tell those who stood by, "This is one of them."

70 But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, "You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it."

71 But he began to curse, and to swear, "I don't know this man of whom you speak!"

72 The rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the word, how that Jesus said to him, "Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." When he thought about that, he wept.
