Levitico 2

Studie

   

1 Quando qualcuno presenterà all’Eterno come offerta una oblazione, la sua offerta sarà di fior di farina; vi verserà sopra dell’olio e v’aggiungerà dell’incenso.

2 E la porterà ai sacerdoti figliuoli d’Aaronne; e il sacerdote prenderà una manata piena del fior di farina spruzzata d’olio, con tutto l’incenso, e farà fumare ogni cosa sull’altare, come ricordanza. Questo è un sacrifizio di soave odore, fatto mediante il fuoco all’Eterno.

3 Ciò che rimarrà dell’oblazione sarà per Aaronne e per i suoi figliuoli; è cosa santissima tra i sacrifizi fatti mediante il fuoco all’Eterno.

4 E quando offrirai un’oblazione di cosa cotta in forno, ti servirai di focacce non lievitate di fior di farina impastata con olio, e di gallette senza lievito unte d’olio.

5 E se la tua offerta è un’oblazione cotta sulla gratella, sarà di fior di farina, impastata con olio, senza lievito.

6 La farai a pezzi, e vi verserai su dell’olio; è un’oblazione.

7 E se la tua offerta è un’oblazione cotta in padella, sarà fatta di fior di farina con olio.

8 Porterai all’Eterno l’oblazione fatta di queste cose; sarà presentata al sacerdote, che la porterà sull’altare.

9 Il sacerdote preleverà dall’oblazione la parte che dev’essere offerta come ricordanza, e la farà fumare sull’altare. E’ un sacrifizio di soave odore, fatto mediante il fuoco all’Eterno.

10 Ciò che rimarrà dell’oblazione sarà per Aaronne e per i suoi figliuoli; è cosa santissima tra i sacrifizi fatti mediante il fuoco all’Eterno.

11 Qualunque oblazione offrirete all’Eterno sarà senza lievito; poiché non farete fumar nulla che contenga lievito o miele, come sacrifizio fatto mediante il fuoco all’Eterno.

12 Potrete offrirne all’Eterno come oblazione di primizie; ma queste offerte non saranno poste sull’altare come offerte di soave odore.

13 E ogni oblazione che offrirai, la condirai con sale e non lascerai la tua oblazione mancar di sale, segno del patto del tuo Dio. Su tutte le tue offerte offrirai del sale.

14 E se offri all’Eterno un’oblazione di primizie, offrirai, come oblazione delle tue primizie, delle spighe tostate al fuoco, chicchi di grano nuovo, tritati.

15 E vi porrai su dell’olio e v’aggiungerai dell’incenso: è un’oblazione.

16 E il sacerdote farà fumare come ricordanza una parte del grano tritato e dell’olio, con tutto l’incenso. E’ un sacrifizio fatto mediante il fuoco all’Eterno.

10022. 'Before the tent of meeting' means to purification, the reception of truth from heaven, and the joining of it to good. This is clear from the representation of 'the tent of meeting' as heaven where the Lord is, dealt with in 9457, 9481, 9485. The reason why purification, the implantation of truth, and the joining of it to good are also meant here is that the young bull was led to that place to be sacrificed, and by sacrifices not only purification but also the implantation of truth and good and joining together of them are meant. For sacrifices represented purifications from evils and falsities, and expiations, see 9990, 9991, and the place before the tent, called its door, represented the joining together of truth and good, which is called the heavenly marriage, 10001. So it is then that 'you shall bring the young bull near before the tent of meeting' means the time when the external or natural man, as this exists in its infancy, applies itself to being purified from evils and falsities, and so to receiving truth from heaven and joining it to good.

[2] Since sacrifices and burnt offerings are the subject in what follows directly after this in the present chapter, what was represented by them in general must be stated. Burnt offerings and sacrifices in general represented purification from evils and falsities; and since purification was represented, so too was the implantation of goodness and truth from the Lord, and also the joining together of them. For when a person has been purified from evils and falsities, which is brought about by the removal of them, goodness and truth from the Lord flow in; and to the extent that goodness and truth flow in, in that state, they are implanted and joined together. For the Lord is unceasingly present with goodness and truth with every person, but He is received only to the extent that evils and falsities are removed, thus to the extent that the person is purified from them. The joining together of truth and good is regeneration. From this it may be seen what burnt offerings and sacrifices in general represented; but what each represented specifically is clear from the different kinds of living creatures that were sacrificed.

[3] Because these three - purification from evils and falsities, the implantation of truth and good, and the joining together of them - were represented by sacrifices and burnt offerings, all worship springing from the truth of faith and the good of love is also meant by them, 6905, 8680, 8936; for the end in view of all worship is that a person may be purified from evils and falsities, consequently that he may have forms of goodness and truth from the Lord implanted in him, and so may be regenerated, which is accomplished by the joining together of that goodness and truth. These joined together constitute heaven or the Lord's kingdom with a person.

19 and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and commission him in their sight.

20 You shall put of your honor on him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey.
