Studie

   

1 And in the seventh month, on the first of the month, there shall be for you a holy convocation; you shall not do any work* of service in it; it will be a day of a trumpet blast for you.

2 And you shall make a burnt·​·offering for a restful smell to Jehovah; one bullock, a son of the herd, one ram, and seven perfect lambs, sons of a year;

3 and their gift·​·offering shall be of flour mixed with oil, three tenths for the bullock, and two tenths for the ram,

4 and one tenth for one lamb, for the seven lambs;

5 and one male goat of the goats for a sin offering, to make·​·atonement for you;

6 apart from the burnt·​·offering of the new·​·moon and its gift·​·offering, and the continual burnt·​·offering and its gift·​·offering, and their poured·​·offerings, according·​·to their judgment, for a restful smell, a fire·​·offering to Jehovah.

7 And there shall be for you on the tenth of this seventh month a holy convocation; and you shall afflict your souls; you shall not do any work in it;

8 but you shall offer a burnt·​·offering to Jehovah for a restful smell, there shall be for you one bullock, a son of the herd, one ram, and seven perfect lambs, sons of a year;

9 and their gift·​·offering shall be of flour mixed with oil, three tenths for the bullock, and two tenths for the one ram,

10 a tenth, a tenth for one lamb, for the seven lambs;

11 one male goat of the goats for a sin offering; apart from the sin offering of atonements, and the continual burnt·​·offering, and its gift·​·offering, and their poured·​·offerings.

12 And there shall be for you on the fifteenth day of the seventh month a holy convocation; you shall not do any work of service in it, and you shall celebrate a festival to Jehovah seven days;

13 and you shall offer a burnt·​·offering, a fire·​·offering, a restful smell to Jehovah: thirteen bullocks, sons of the herd, two rams, and fourteen lambs, sons of a year; they shall be perfect;

14 and their gift·​·offering shall be of flour mixed with oil, three tenths for one bullock, for the thirteen bullocks, two tenths for one ram, for the two rams,

15 and a tenth, a tenth for one lamb, for the fourteen lambs;

16 and one male goat of the goats for a sin offering; apart from the continual burnt·​·offering, its gift·​·offering, and its poured·​·offering.

17 And on the second day you shall offer twelve bullocks, sons of the herd, two rams, fourteen perfect lambs, sons of a year;

18 and their gift·​·offering and their poured·​·offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be by their number according·​·to the judgment;

19 and one male goat of the goats for a sin offering; apart from the continual burnt·​·offering, and its gift·​·offering, and their poured·​·offerings.

20 And on the third day eleven bullocks, two rams, fourteen perfect lambs, sons of a year;

21 and their gift·​·offering and their poured·​·offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be by their number according·​·to the judgment;

22 and one male goat for a sin offering; apart from the continual burnt·​·offering, and its gift·​·offering, and its poured·​·offering.

23 And on the fourth day ten bullocks, two rams, and fourteen perfect lambs, sons of a year;

24 their gift·​·offering and their poured·​·offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be by their number according·​·to the judgment;

25 and one male goat of the goats for a sin offering; apart from the continual burnt·​·offering, its gift·​·offering, and its poured·​·offering.

26 And on the fifth day nine bullocks, two rams, and fourteen perfect lambs, sons of a year;

27 and their gift·​·offering and their poured·​·offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be by their number according·​·to the judgment;

28 and one male goat for a sin offering; apart from the continual burnt·​·offering, and its gift·​·offering, and its poured·​·offering.

29 And on the sixth day eight bullocks, two rams, and fourteen perfect lambs, sons of a year;

35 On the eighth day there shall be for you a day of restraint; you shall not do any work of service in it;

36 but you shall offer a burnt·​·offering, a fire·​·offering, a restful smell to Jehovah: one bullock, one ram, seven perfect lambs, sons of a year;

37 their gift·​·offering and their poured·​·offerings for the bullock, for the ram, and for the lambs, shall be by their number according·​·to the judgment;

38 and one male goat for a sin offering; apart from the continual burnt·​·offering, and its gift·​·offering, and its poured·​·offering.

39 These things you shall do for Jehovah in your solemn·​·occasions, apart from your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your burnt·​·offerings, and for your gift·​·offerings, and for your poured·​·offerings, and for your peace·​·offerings.

It was customary in the representative Ancient Church, and later in the Jewish Church, when people went to the judges, and at a later time, to the kings or priests, to present them with a gift. The people were commanded to do this. The reason for this custom was that the gifts people presented to those men represented the kinds of things mankind possessed that ought to be offered to the Lord when any approach is made to Him. Such gifts are ones that a person offers in freedom and therefore ones that come truly from himself, because his freedom resides in what comes from his heart, and what comes from his heart comes from his will. What comes from his will comes from a desire arising from his love, and this desire constitutes his freedom, or what is truly his own. This should be the origin of any gift made by a person to the Lord when making any approach to Him. This kind of gift was represented by the gifts mentioned above, for 'kings' represented the Lord regarding Divine Truth, while 'priests' represented Him regarding Divine Good. These gifts also served as introductions, which were made to obtain favor.
