Numbers 15

Studie

   

1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, When you have come to the land of your dwellings, which I give to you,

3 and will make a fire·​·offering to Jehovah, a burnt·​·offering or a sacrifice, for a special vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn·​·occasions, to make a restful smell to Jehovah, from the herd, or from the flock;

4 then he who offers his offering to Jehovah shall offer a gift·​·offering of a tenth of flour mixed with the fourth of a hin of oil.

5 And the fourth part of a hin of wine for a poured·​·offering shalt thou make with the burnt·​·offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.

6 Or for a ram, thou shalt make for a gift·​·offering two tenths of flour mixed with a third of a hin of oil.

7 And for a poured·​·offering thou shalt offer a third of a hin of wine, for a restful smell to Jehovah.

8 And when thou makest the young of the herd for a burnt·​·offering, or for a sacrifice to make·​·a·​·special vow, or for peace·​·offerings to Jehovah,

9 then he shall offer upon a son of the herd a gift·​·offering of three tenths of flour mixed with half a hin of oil.

10 And thou shalt offer for a poured·​·offering half a hin of wine, a fire·​·offering, a restful smell to Jehovah.

11 In·​·this·​·manner shall it be done for one ox, or for one ram, or for an animal·​·of·​·the·​·flock among the lambs or among the goats.

12 According·​·to the number that you shall make, so you shall make for every one according·​·to their number.

13 Every native of the country shall do these things in·​·this·​·manner, to offer a fire·​·offering, a restful smell to Jehovah.

14 And when a sojourner sojourn with you, or whoever be in your midst for your generations, and will make a fire·​·offering, a restful smell to Jehovah, as you do, so he shall do.

15 One statute shall be for you of the assembly, and also for the sojourner who sojourns with you, an eternal statute for your generations; as you are, so shall the sojourner be before Jehovah.

16 One law and One judgment shall be for you, and for the sojourner who sojourns with you.

17 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

18 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, When you come into the land whither I bring you,

19 then it shall be, that, when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall lift·​·up an uplifting to Jehovah.

20 You shall lift·​·up a cake of the first of your dough for an uplifting; as you do the uplifting of the threshing·​·floor, so you shall lift· it ·up.

21 From the first of your dough you shall give to Jehovah an uplifting for your generations.

22 And if you have erred, and not done all these commandments, which Jehovah has spoken to Moses,

23 Even all that Jehovah has commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that Jehovah commanded it, and beyond unto your generations;

24 then it shall be, if anything be done by ignorance away from the eyes of the congregation, that all the congregation shall make one bullock, a son of the herd, for a burnt·​·offering, for a restful smell to Jehovah, with its gift·​·offering, and its poured·​·offering, according·​·to the judgment, and one male goat of the goats for a sin offering.

25 And the priest shall make·​·atonement for all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and it shall be pardoned them; for it is ignorance; and they shall bring their offering, a fire·​·offering to Jehovah, and their sin offering before Jehovah, for their ignorance,

26 and it shall be pardoned to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and the sojourner who sojourns among them; because all the people were in ignorance.

27 And if a certain soul sin by ignorance, then he shall offer a she-goat, a daughter of a year for a sin offering.

28 And the priest shall make·​·atonement for the soul who sins being·​·ignorant, when he sins in ignorance before Jehovah, to make·​·atonement for him; and it shall be pardoned to him.

29 You shall have one law for him who does something by ignorance, for the native among the sons of Israel, and for the sojourner who sojourns in their midst.

30 But the soul who does anything with a high hand, from the native and from the sojourner, he blasphemes Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut·​·off from among his people.

31 Because he despises the word of Jehovah, and has made· His commandment ·of·​·none·​·effect, that soul being cut·​·off shall be cut·​·off; her iniquity shall be upon her.

32 And the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, and they found a man gathering·​·up wood on the Sabbath day.

33 And they who found him gathering·​·up wood offered him to Moses and unto Aaron, and to all the congregation.

34 And they placed him under guard, for it was not made·​·clear what should be done to him.

35 And Jehovah said to Moses, Dying the man shall be made to die; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.

36 And all the congregation brought· him ·out to outside the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

37 And Jehovah said to Moses, saying,

38 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them that they make for themselves fringes on the wings of their garments unto their generations, and that they put on the fringe of the wing a strand of blue;

39 and it shall be to you for a fringe, that you may see it, and remember all the commandments of Jehovah, and do them; and that you explore not after your own heart and after your own eyes, after which you committed·​·harlotry;

40 so·​·that you may remember, and do all My commandments, and be holy to your God.

41 I am Jehovah your God, who brought· you ·out of the land of Egypt, to be your God; I am Jehovah your God.

Apocalypse Revealed # 629

629. "And give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come." This symbolizes an acknowledgment and confession that all the Word's truth which makes the church a church comes from the Lord, and that everyone will be judged in accordance with it.

To give glory to Him means, symbolically, to acknowledge and confess that every truth comes from the Lord, as may be seen in no. 249 above; and because every truth that makes the church a church is drawn from the Word, it is the Word's truth that is meant. "For the hour of His judgment has come" means symbolically that everyone will be judged in accordance with the Word's truth. This is the symbolic meaning because to give glory to Him means, symbolically, to acknowledge and confess that the Word's truth all comes from the Lord, and we are told next, "for the hour of His judgment has come," the word "for" entailing this as the cause.

That everyone will be judged by the Word's truth may be seen in 233, 273 above. And that the church is founded on the Word, and that its character is such as its understanding of the Word, may be seen in The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Regarding the Sacred Scripture, nos. 76-79.

It is apparent from this that the spiritual meaning of these words is as stated. It is as stated because angels in heaven perceive glory to mean nothing else than Divine truth; and because all Divine truth comes from the Lord, they perceive giving glory to Him to mean an acknowledgment and confession that all truth comes from Him. For all glory in the heavens springs from no other origin, and to the extent that any society in heaven is governed by Divine truth, to the same extent everything in it is radiant, and the angels are surrounded by a commensurate glorious radiance.

[2] That glory means Divine truth can be seen from the following passages:

The voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Prepare the way of Jehovah... The glory of Jehovah shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it...." (Isaiah 40:3, 5)

...shine, for your light has come, and the glory of Jehovah is risen upon you... Jehovah will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you. (Isaiah 60:1-2 to the end)

I will... give You as a covenant to the people, as a light to the Gentiles..., and My glory I will not give to another... (Isaiah 42:6, 8)

For My own sake, for My own sake, I will do it... And I will not give My glory to another. (Isaiah 48:11)

They shall fear... His glory from the rising of the sun... The Redeemer will come to Zion... (Isaiah 59:19-20)

...your light shall break forth like the morning...; the glory of Jehovah shall gather you. (Isaiah 58:8)

...He will come to gather all nations and tongues, that they may... see My glory. (Isaiah 66:18)

(Jehovah said,) "I live, and all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Jehovah." (Numbers 14:21)

The whole earth is full of His glory! (Isaiah 6:1-3)

In the beginning was the Word..., and the Word was God... In Him was life, and the life was the light of men... That was the true Light... And the Word became flesh..., and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father... (John 1:1, 4, 9, 14)

These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory... (John 12:41)

And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with... glory. (Matthew 24:3, 30)

The heavens shall declare the glory of God... (Psalms 19:1)

Then the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah, and all the kings of the earth Your glory, because (He) built up Zion, (and) He appeared in His glory. (Psalms 102:15-16)

...the glory of God (will illuminate the Holy Jerusalem) and the Lamb is its light. And the nations (which) are saved shall walk in its light... (Revelation 21:23-25)

...the Son of Man (will come) in His glory...(to) sit on the throne of His glory. (Matthew 25:31, cf. Mark 8:38)

That the glory of Jehovah filled and covered the Tabernacle: Exodus 40:34-35, Numbers 14:10-12; 16:19; 16:42.

That it filled the house of Jehovah: 1 Kings 8:10-11.

And so on elsewhere as in Isaiah 24:23; Ezekiel 1:28; 8:4; 9:3; 10:4, 18-19; 11:22-23; Luke 2:32; 9:26; John 2:11; 7:18; 17:24.
