Levítico 6

Studie

   

1 Disse ainda o Senhor a Moisés:

2 Se alguém pecar e cometer uma transgressão contra o Senhor, e se houver dolosamente para com o seu próximo no tocante a um depósito, ou penhor, ou roubo, ou tiver oprimido a seu próximo;

3 se achar o perdido, e nisso se houver dolosamente e jurar falso; ou se fizer qualquer de todas as coisas em que o homem costuma pecar;

4 se, pois, houver pecado e for culpado, restituirá o que roubou, ou o que obteve pela opressão, ou o depósito que lhe foi dado em guarda, ou o perdido que achou,

5 ou qualquer coisa sobre que jurou falso; por inteiro o restituirá, e ainda a isso acrescentará a quinta parte; a quem pertence, lho dará no dia em que trouxer a sua oferta pela culpa.

6 E como a sua oferta pela culpa, trará ao Senhor um carneiro sem defeito, do rebanho; conforme a tua avaliação para oferta pela culpa trá-lo-á ao sacerdote;

7 e o sacerdote fará expiação por ele diante do Senhor, e ele será perdoado de todas as coisas que tiver feito, nas quais se tenha tornado culpado.

8 Disse mais o Senhor a Moisés:

9 ordem a Arão e a seus filhos, dizendo: Esta é a lei do holocausto: o holocausto ficará a noite toda, até pela manhã, sobre a lareira do altar, e nela se conservará aceso o fogo do altar.

10 E o sacerdote vestirá a sua veste de linho, e vestirá as calças de linho sobre a sua carne; e levantará a cinza, quando o fogo houver consumido o holocausto sobre o altar, e a porá junto ao altar.

11 Depois despirá as suas vestes, e vestirá outras vestes; e levará a cinza para fora do arraial a um lugar limpo.

12 O fogo sobre o altar se conservará aceso; não se apagará. O sacerdote acenderá lenha nele todos os dias pela manhã, e sobre ele porá em ordem o holocausto, e queimará a gordura das ofertas pacíficas.

13 O fogo se conservará continuamente aceso sobre o altar; não se apagará.

14 Esta é a lei da oferta de cereais: os filhos de Arão a oferecerão perante o Senhor diante do altar.

15 O sacerdote tomará dela um punhado, isto é, da flor de farinha da oferta de cereais e do azeite da mesma, e todo o incenso que estiver sobre a oferta de cereais, e os queimará sobre o altar por cheiro suave ao Senhor, como o memorial da oferta.

16 E Arão e seus filhos comerão o restante dela; comê-lo-ão sem fermento em lugar santo; no átrio da tenda da revelação o comerão.

17 Levedado não se cozerá. Como a sua porção das minhas ofertas queimadas lho tenho dado; coisa santíssima é, como a oferta pelo pecado, e como a oferta pela culpa.

18 Todo varão entre os filhos de Arão comerá dela, como a sua porção das ofertas queimadas do Senhor; estatuto perpétuo será para as vossas gerações; tudo o que as tocar será santo.

19 Disse mais o Senhor a Moisés:

20 Esta é a oferta de Arão e de seus filhos, a qual oferecerão ao Senhor no dia em que ele for ungido: a décima parte duma efa de flor de farinha, como oferta de cereais, perpetuamente, a metade dela pela amanhã, e a outra metade à tarde.

21 Numa assadeira se fará com azeite; bem embebida a trarás; em pedaços cozidos oferecerás a oferta de cereais por cheiro suave ao Senhor.

22 Também o sacerdote que, de entre seus filhos, for ungido em seu lugar, a oferecerá; por estatuto perpétuo será ela toda queimada ao Senhor.

23 Assim toda oferta de cereais do sacerdote será totalmente queimada; não se comerá.

24 Disse mais o Senhor a Moisés:

25 Fala a Arão e a seus filhos, dizendo: Esta é a lei da oferta pelo pecado: no lugar em que se imola o holocausto se imolará a oferta pelo pecado perante o Senhor; coisa santíssima é.

26 O sacerdote que a oferecer pelo pecado a comerá; comê-la-á em lugar santo, no átrio da tenda da revelação.

27 Tudo o que tocar a carne da oferta será santo; e quando o sangue dela for espargido sobre qualquer roupa, lavarás em lugar santo a roupa sobre a qual ele tiver sido espargido.

28 Mas o vaso de barro em que for cozida será quebrado; e se for cozida num vaso de bronze, este será esfregado, e lavado, na água.

29 Todo varão entre os sacerdotes comerá dela; coisa santíssima é.

30 Contudo não se comerá nenhuma oferta pelo pecado, da qual uma parte do sangue é trazida dentro da tenda da revelação, para fazer expiação no lugar santo; no fogo será queimada.

Apocalypse Explained # 79

/ 1232  
  

79. And he laid his right hand upon me. That this signifies life from Him, is evident from the signification of right hand, when said of the Lord, as being life from Him (concerning this see above, n. 72). The reason why this signifies life from the Lord, is, that it follows immediately after the words, "I fell at his feet as dead." And, moreover, by touching with the hand, is signified to communicate and transfer to another that which belongs to oneself, and also to receive from another and to communicate and transfer to another what belongs to oneself, when said of the Lord, as in this passage, denotes life, such as is communicated to those who are in a state of enlightenment, and see and hear such things as are in heaven. This also was the case with John; for he was in such a state of enlightenment when he saw and heard the things described in the Apocalypse.

[2] The reason why to touch with the hand denotes to communicate, and to transfer to another, is, because all the power of man is transferred from the body into the hands; therefore, what the mind wills that the body should do, the arms and hands perform accordingly. Hence it is that by arms and hands in the Word is signified power (as may be seen, Arcana Coelestia 878, 3091, 4931-4937. 7673, 10019); this power, however, is natural power, and communication thereby is the exertion of the forces of the body; but spiritual power is to will the good of another, and, as much as possible, to be willing to transfer to another what belongs to oneself. This power is signified by hand in the spiritual sense, and its communication and translation by touching with the hand.

From these considerations it is evident that, by the Lord, who is there called the Son of man, laying His right hand upon John, when he lay as dead, is signified, that He communicated and transferred to him life from Himself (concerning which, see above).

[3] To touch, and to touch with the hand, has a similar signification in many passages in the Word, as in the following. In Daniel:

The Lord, who there appeared to him as a man clothed in linen, whose aspect was as the appearance of lightning, and His eyes as torches of fire, and His feet as the brightness of polished brass, touched him; restored him to his station; set him upon his knees; touched his lips, and opened his mouth; and again touched him, and strengthened him (10:4 to the end).

In Jeremiah:

"Jehovah put forth his hand and touched my mouth, and said, I give my words into thy mouth" (1:9).

And in Matthew:

Jesus put forth His and to the leper "and touched him, saying, I will, be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed" (8:3).

In the same:

Jesus saw Peter's wife's mother sick of a fever "and he touched her hand, and the fever left her" (8:14, 15).

In the same:

Jesus touched the eyes of two blind men and their eyes were opened (9:29).

In the same:

"While Peter was speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed the disciples, and behold a voice out of the cloud which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. And when the disciples heard it, they fell upon their face, and were sore afraid. Then Jesus came near and touched them, and said, Arise, be not afraid" (17:5-7).

In Luke:

Jesus came and touched the bier of the dead man, and said, "Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. Then he that was dead sat up, and began to speak" (7:14, 15).

In the same:

Jesus touched the ear of the deaf man, and healed him (22:51).

In Mark:

"They brought young children to him, that he should touch them. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them" (10:13, 16).

In the same:

They brought unto Jesus those that were sick "that they might touch the hem of his garment; and as many as touched were made whole" (Matthew 14:35, 36).

In Luke:

"A woman having an issue of blood, touched the border of Jesus' garment; and immediately her issue of blood stanched. Jesus said, Some one hath touched me, for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me" (8:43, 44, 46).

[4] Because by the touching and laying on of hands, is signified to communicate and transfer to another what is one's own, therefore from ancient times it has been customary in the churches to lay hands upon the heads of those who were inaugurated and blessed, as Moses was commanded to do in the case of Joshua (Numbers 27:18-23; Deuteronomy 34:9). Since all things among the sons of Israel were representative and significative of spiritual things, so also was the touch; therefore those were sanctified who touched what was holy, and those were polluted who touched what was unclean, for the touch signified communication and transference from one to another, and reception from one by another; as is evident from the following passages in Moses: whosoever shall touch the tent of the assembly, the ark of the testimony, the table and all its vessels, the lampstand and its vessels, the altar of incense, the altar of burnt offering and all its vessels, and the laver and its foot, shall be holy (Exodus 30:26-29). Whatsoever touched the altar should be holy (Exodus 29:37). Every thing which touched the remainder of the meat-offering, and the remainder of the flesh from the sacrifices, should be holy (Leviticus 6:11-20).

"Whosoever touched a dead body, and purified not himself, defiled the tabernacle of Jehovah; therefore that soul should be cut off from Israel. Whosoever touched one that was slain with a sword in the open fields, or a bone of a man, or a grave, should be unclean seven days. He that toucheth the waters of separation, shall be unclean until even. Whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean until even" (Numbers 19:11, 13, 16, 21, 22).

He who toucheth unclean beasts, and unclean creeping things, shall be unclean; everything upon which they shall fall shall be unclean, whether a vessel of wood, raiment, water, an earthen vessel, food, drink, an oven, except a fountain, pit, a receptacle of waters, shall be unclean (Leviticus 11:31-36). Besides other places, as Leviticus 5:2, 3; 7:21; 11:37, 38; 15:1 to the end; 22:4; Numbers 16:26; Isaiah 52:11; Lamentations 4:14, 15; Hosea 4:2, 3; Haggai 2:12, 13, 14.
