Leviticus 4

Studie

   

1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens :

2 Loquere filiis Israël : Anima, quæ peccaverit per ignorantiam, et de universis mandatis Domini, quæ præcepit ut non fierent, quippiam fecerit :

3 si sacerdos, qui unctus est, peccaverit, delinquere faciens populum, offeret pro peccato suo vitulum immaculatum Domino :

4 et adducet illum ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii coram Domino, ponetque manum super caput ejus, et immolabit eum Domino.

5 Hauriet quoque de sanguine vituli, inferens illum in tabernaculum testimonii.

6 Cumque intinxerit digitum in sanguine, asperget eo septies coram Domino contra velum sanctuarii.

7 Ponetque de eodem sanguine super cornua altaris thymiamatis gratissimi Domino, quod est in tabernaculo testimonii : omnem autem reliquum sanguinem fundet in basim altaris holocausti in introitu tabernaculi.

8 Et adipem vituli auferet pro peccato, tam eum qui vitalia operit quam omnia quæ intrinsecus sunt :

9 duos renunculos et reticulum quod est super eos juxta ilia, et adipem jecoris cum renunculis,

10 sicut aufertur de vitulo hostiæ pacificorum : et adolebit ea super altare holocausti.

11 Pellem vero et omnes carnes, cum capite et pedibus et intestinis et fimo,

12 et reliquo corpore, efferet extra castra in locum mundum, ubi cineres effundi solent : incendetque ea super lignorum struem, quæ in loco effusorum cinerum cremabuntur.

13 Quod si omnis turba Israël ignoraverit, et per imperitiam fecerit quod contra mandatum Domini est,

14 et postea intellexerit peccatum suum, offeret pro peccato suo vitulum, adducetque eum ad ostium tabernaculi.

15 Et ponent seniores populi manus super caput ejus coram Domino. Immolatoque vitulo in conspectu Domini,

16 inferet sacerdos, qui unctus est, de sanguine ejus in tabernaculum testimonii,

17 tincto digito aspergens septies contra velum.

18 Ponetque de eodem sanguine in cornibus altaris, quod est coram Domino in tabernaculo testimonii : reliquum autem sanguinem fundet juxta basim altaris holocaustorum, quod est in ostio tabernaculi testimonii.

19 Omnemque ejus adipem tollet, et adolebit super altare :

20 sic faciens et de hoc vitulo quomodo fecit et prius : et rogante pro eis sacerdote, propitius erit eis Dominus.

21 Ipsum autem vitulum efferet extra castra, atque comburet sicut et priorem vitulum : quia est pro peccato multitudinis.

22 Si peccaverit princeps, et fecerit unum e pluribus per ignorantiam, quod Domini lege prohibetur :

23 et postea intellexerit peccatum suum, offeret hostiam Domino, hircum de capris immaculatum.

24 Ponetque manum suam super caput ejus : cumque immolaverit eum loco ubi solet mactari holocaustum coram Domino, quia pro peccato est,

25 tinget sacerdos digitum in sanguine hostiæ pro peccato, tangens cornua altaris holocausti, et reliquum fundens ad basim ejus.

26 Adipem vero adolebit supra, sicut in victimis pacificorum fieri solet : rogabitque pro eo sacerdos, et pro peccato ejus, et dimittetur ei.

27 Quod si peccaverit anima per ignorantiam, de populo terræ, ut faciat quidquam de his, quæ Domini lege prohibentur, atque delinquat,

28 et cognoverit peccatum suum, offeret capram immaculatam.

29 Ponetque manum super caput hostiæ quæ pro peccato est, et immolabit eam in loco holocausti.

30 Tolletque sacerdos de sanguine in digito suo : et tangens cornua altaris holocausti, reliquum fundet ad basim ejus.

31 Omnem autem adipem auferens, sicut auferri solet de victimis pacificorum, adolebit super altare in odorem suavitatis Domino : rogabitque pro eo, et dimittetur ei.

32 Sin autem de pecoribus obtulerit victimam pro peccato, ovem scilicet immaculatam :

33 ponet manum super caput ejus, et immolabit eam in loco ubi solent cædi holocaustorum hostiæ.

34 Sumetque sacerdos de sanguine ejus digito suo, et tangens cornua altaris holocausti, reliquum fundet ad basim ejus.

35 Omnem quoque adipem auferens, sicut auferri solet adeps arietis, qui immolatur pro pacificis, cremabit super altare in incensum Domini : rogabitque pro eo, et pro peccato ejus, et dimittetur ei.

3761. 'Jacob lifted up his feet' means a raising up of the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'lifting up' as a raising up, and from the meaning of 'the feet' as the natural, dealt with below. The raising up meant here is the subject of the chapter itself, namely a raising up from external truth towards internal good. In the highest sense the subject is how the Lord according to order raised His Natural even up to the Divine, rising up step by step from external truth towards internal good. In the representative sense it is how the Lord according to a similar order makes man's natural new when regenerating him. The fact that a person who is being regenerated in adult life progresses according to the order described in the internal sense of this chapter and of those that follow is known to few. This fact is known to few because few stop to reflect on the matter and also because few at the present day are able to be regenerated; for the last days of the Church have arrived when no charity exists any longer, nor consequently any faith. This being so, people do not even know what faith is, even though the assertion 'men is saved by faith' is on everyone's lips; and not knowing this they therefore have even less knowledge of what charity is. And since they know no more than the terms faith and charity and have no knowledge of what these are essentially, it has therefore been stated that few are able to reflect on the order in accordance with which a person is made new or regenerated, and also that few are able to be regenerated.

[2] Because the subject here is the natural, and the latter is represented by 'Jacob', it is not said that he rose up and went to the land of the sons of the east but that 'he lifted up his feet'. Both these expressions mean a raising up. As regards 'rising up' having this meaning, see 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927, 3171; and as regards the expression 'lifting up the feet' which occurs here, this is used in reference to the natural - 'the feet' meaning the natural, see 2162, 3147. 'The feet' means the natural or natural things because of their correspondence with the Grand Man - currently the subject at the ends of chapters. In the Grand Man those belonging to the province of the feet are those who dwell in natural light and little spiritual light. This also is why the parts beneath the foot - the sole and the heel - mean the lowest natural things, see 259, and why 'a shoe', which is also mentioned several times in the Word, means the bodily-natural, which is the lowest part of all, 1748.
