Levitico 3

Studie

   

1 Quand’uno offrirà un sacrifizio di azioni di grazie, se offre capi d’armenti, un maschio o una femmina, l’offrirà senza difetto davanti all’Eterno.

2 Poserà la mano sulla testa della sua offerta, e la sgozzerà all’ingresso della tenda di convegno; e i sacerdoti, figliuoli d’Aaronne, spargeranno il sangue sull’altare tutt’intorno.

3 E di questo sacrifizio di azioni di grazie offrirà, come sacrifizio mediante il fuoco all’Eterno, il grasso che copre le interiora e tutto il grasso che aderisce alle interiora,

4 i due arnioni e il grasso che v’è sopra e che copre i fianchi, e la rete del fegato, che staccherà vicino agli arnioni.

5 E i figliuoli d’Aaronne faranno fumare tutto questo sull’altare sopra l’olocausto, che è sulle legna messe sul fuoco. Questo è un sacrifizio di soave odore, fatto mediante il fuoco all’Eterno.

6 Se l’offerta ch’egli fa come sacrifizio di azioni di grazie all’Eterno è di capi di gregge, un maschio o una femmina, l’offrirà senza difetto.

7 Se presenta come offerta un agnello, l’offrirà davanti all’Eterno.

8 Poserà la mano sulla testa della sua offerta, e la sgozzerà all’ingresso della tenda di convegno; e i figliuoli d’Aaronne ne spargeranno il sangue sull’altare tutt’intorno.

9 E di questo sacrifizio di azioni di grazie offrirà, come sacrifizio mediante il fuoco all’Eterno, il grasso, tutta la coda ch’egli staccherà presso l’estremità della spina, il grasso che copre le interiora e tutto il grasso che aderisce alle interiora,

10 i due arnioni e il grasso che v’è sopra e che copre i fianchi, e la rete del fegato, che staccherà vicino agli arnioni.

11 E il sacerdote farà fumare tutto questo sull’altare. E’ un cibo offerto mediante il fuoco all’Eterno.

12 Se la sua offerta è una capra, l’offrirà davanti all’Eterno.

13 Poserà la mano sulla testa della vittima, e la sgozzerà all’ingresso della tenda di convegno; e i figliuoli d’Aaronne ne spargeranno il sangue sull’altare tutt’intorno.

14 E della vittima offrirà, come sacrifizio mediante il fuoco all’Eterno, il grasso che copre le interiora e tutto il grasso che aderisce alle interiora,

15 i due arnioni e il grasso che v’è sopra e che copre i fianchi, e la rete del fegato, che staccherà vicino agli arnioni.

16 E il sacerdote farà fumare tutto questo sull’altare. E’ un cibo di soave odore, offerto mediante il fuoco. Tutto il grasso appartiene all’Eterno.

17 Questa è una legge perpetua, per tutte le vostre generazioni, in tutti i luoghi dove abiterete: non mangerete né grassosangue".

3720. 'This is nothing other than the house of God' means the Lord's kingdom as it exists in the ultimate degree of order. This is clear from the meaning of 'the house of God'. In the Word 'the house of God' is referred to in many places, and in the external sense, that is, literally, it means a building where holy worship takes place. But in the internal sense it means the Church, in the more universal sense it means heaven, and in the most universal the Lord's kingdom. In the highest sense however it means the Lord Himself as regards the Divine Human. But in the Word sometimes the expression 'House of God' is used and sometimes 'Temple'. The two are similar in meaning, the difference being that the expression 'House of God' is used when the subject is good but 'temple' when the subject is truth. From this it is evident that 'the House of God' means the Lord's celestial Church, and in the more universal sense the heaven of celestial angels, in the most universal the Lord's celestial kingdom, and in the highest sense the Lord as regards Divine Good; whereas 'the Temple' means the Lord's spiritual Church, and in the more universal sense the heaven of spiritual angels, in the most universal the Lord's spiritual kingdom, and in the highest the Lord as regards Divine Truth, see 2048. The reason why 'the House of God' means that which is celestial and the dwelling-place of good, while 'the Temple' means that which is spiritual and the dwelling-place of truth, is that 'a house' in the Word means good, see 710, 2233, 2559, 3128, 3652, and among the most ancient people used to be built of pieces of wood for the reason that 'wood' meant good, 643, 1110, 2784, 2812, whereas 'the Temple' means truth because it was built of stones - 'stones' meaning truths, see 643, 1296, 1298.

[2] These meanings that 'pieces of wood' and 'stones' possess are clear not only from the Word where they are mentioned but also from representatives in the next life. For people who assume that merit lies in good works seem to themselves to be cutting wood, and those who assume that it lies in truths, that is to say, people who have believed that they knew more truths than anybody else and yet have lived wickedly, seem to themselves to be breaking up stones. I have often seen such people wood-cutting or stone-breaking, from which the meaning of 'wood' and of 'stone' was made clear to me - that good is meant by 'wood' and truth by 'stone'. It has in like manner been made clear to me from the fact that when I have seen a wooden house the concept of good has instantly presented itself, and when I have seen a stone house the concept of truth has done so. And I have also learned from angels about this matter. This is why, when in the Word 'the House of God' is mentioned, the concept of good presents itself to angels, the kind of good depending on the nature of the subject that is being dealt with. And when 'the Temple' is mentioned, the concept of truth presents itself, the kind of truth depending on the subject that is being dealt with. From this one may also deduce how deeply and inwardly concealed the heavenly arcana lie in the Word.

[3] The reason 'the House of God' here means the Lord's kingdom as it exists in the ultimate degree of order is that the subject is Jacob who, as often shown already, represents the Lord's Divine Natural. The natural exists in the ultimate degree of order, for the natural encompasses all interior degrees and includes them all together within itself. And since they are included all together within the natural, and so countless things are beheld as a single whole, obscurity exists there compared with other degrees. This obscurity too has been dealt with frequently.
