Leviticus 24

Studie

   

1 Et locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens :

2 Præcipe filiis Israël, ut afferant tibi oleum de olivis purissimum, ac lucidum, ad concinnandas lucernas jugiter,

3 extra velum testimonii in tabernaculo fœderis. Ponetque eas Aaron a vespere usque ad mane coram Domino, cultu rituque perpetuo in generationibus vestris.

4 Super candelabrum mundissimum ponentur semper in conspectu Domini.

5 Accipies quoque similam, et coques ex ea duodecim panes, qui singuli habebunt duas decimas :

6 quorum senos altrinsecus super mensam purissimam coram Domino statues :

7 et pones super eos thus lucidissimum, ut sit panis in monimentum oblationis Domini.

8 Per singula sabbata mutabuntur coram Domino suscepti a filiis Israël fœdere sempiterno :

9 eruntque Aaron et filiorum ejus, ut comedant eos in loco sancto : quia Sanctum sanctorum est de sacrificiis Domini jure perpetuo.

10 Ecce autem egressus filius mulieris Israëlitidis, quem peperat de viro ægyptio inter filios Israël, jurgatus est in castris cum viro Israëlita.

11 Cumque blasphemasset nomen, et maledixisset ei, adductus est ad Moysen. (Vocabatur autem mater ejus Salumith, filia Dabri de tribu Dan.)

12 Miseruntque eum in carcerem, donec nossent quid juberet Dominus.

13 Qui locutus est ad Moysen,

14 dicens : Educ blasphemum extra castra, et ponant omnes qui audierunt, manus suas super caput ejus, et lapidet eum populus universus.

15 Et ad filios Israël loqueris : Homo, qui maledixerit Deo suo, portabit peccatum suum ;

16 et qui blasphemaverit nomen Domini, morte moriatur : lapidibus opprimet eum omnis multitudo, sive ille civis, sive peregrinus fuerit. Qui blasphemaverit nomen Domini, morte moriatur.

17 Qui percusserit, et occiderit hominem, morte moriatur.

18 Qui percusserit animal, reddet vicarium, id est, animam pro anima.

19 Qui irrogaverit maculam cuilibet civium suorum, sicut fecit, sic fiet ei :

20 fracturam pro fractura, oculum pro oculo, dentem pro dente restituet : qualem inflixerit maculam, talem sustinere cogetur.

21 Qui percusserit jumentum, reddet aliud. Qui percusserit hominem, punietur.

22 Æquum judicium sit inter vos, sive peregrinus, sive civis peccaverit : quia ego sum Dominus Deus vester.

23 Locutusque est Moyses ad filios Israël : et eduxerunt eum, qui blasphemaverat, extra castra, ac lapidibus oppresserunt. Feceruntque filii Israël sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi.

The Bible describes many things as being holy, or sacred. The Ark of the Covenant is one very holy object. The inmost chamber of the tabernacle is called the "Holy of Holies". Things that proceed from the Lord are holy. Objects are holy if they contain something, or represent something, from the Lord. For that reason, the names of the Lord in human languages are holy because they represent qualities of the Lord, things that are Him. The Bible is holy because it contains, interiorly, the Lord's divine truth. The tabernacle of Israel was holy -- not because of the wood or gold or dyed cloth -- but because those things represented qualities that the Lord has. Those same qualities exist, as in an image, in the spiritual states of people who follow the Lord's laws. No person is holy, but if a person's mind contains truth from the Lord and his or her will comes to love the truths and the actions that these truths suggest to him, then his or her mind will contain holy things, because those truths and loves come from the Lord. These things become that person's life and they remain with that person in heaven, after death.
