Левит 10

Studie

   

1 Надавъ и Авіудъ, сыны Аароновы, взяли каждый свою кадильницу и положили въ нихъ огня, и всыпали на него куреній и принесли предъ Господа огнь чуждый, котораго Онъ не велјлъ имъ.

2 И исшелъ огнь отъ Господа, и сжегъ ихъ, и умерли предъ лицемъ Господнимъ.

3 И сказалъ Моисей Аарону: вотъ о чемъ говорилъ Господь, когда сказалъ: Въ приближающихся ко Мнј освящусь и предъ всјмъ народомъ прославлюсь. Ааронъ молчалъ.

4 И позвалъ Моисей Мисаила и Елцафа - на, сыновъ Узіила, дяди Ааронова, и сказалъ имъ: пойдите, вынесите братьевъ вашихъ отъ святилища вонъ изъ стана.

5 И пошли и вынесли ихъ въ хитонахъ ихъ вонъ изъ стана, какъ сказалъ Моисей.

6 Аарону же, и Елеазару, и Иѕамару сынамъ его Моисей сказалъ: головъ своихъ не обнажайте, и одеждъ вашихъ не раздирайте, чтобъ вамъ не умереть, и не навести гнјва на все общество. Братья ваши, весь домъ Израилевъ, могутъ плакать о сожженныхъ, которыхъ сожегъ Господь.

7 И отъ дверей скиніи собранія не отходите, чтобъ не умереть вамъ: ибо на васъ елей помазанія Господня. И сдјлали такъ,какъ сказалъ Моисей.

8 И говорилъ Господь Аарону, и сказалъ:

9 вина и напитковъ не пей, ты и сыны твои съ тобою, когда входите въ скинію собранія, чтобъ не умереть. Это вјчное постановленіе въ роды ваши:

10 чтобъ вы могли отличать священное отъ несвященнаго, и нечистое отъ чистаго,

11 и научать сыновъ Израилевыхъ всјмъ уставамъ, которые изрекъ имъ Господь чрезъ Моисея.

12 И сказалъ Моисей Аарону, и Елеазару, и Иѕамару, оставшимся сынамъ его: возьмите приношеніе хлјбное, оставшееся отъ огнепалимыхъ жертвъ Господнихъ, и јшьте оное прјсное у жертвенника: ибо это великая святыня.

13 Јшьте оное на святомъ мјстј, ибо это участокъ твой и участокъ сыновъ твоихъ изъ огнепалимыхъ жертвъ Господнихъ; такъ мнј повелјно.

14 И грудь потрясанія и плечо возношенія јшьте на чистомъ мјстј, ты, и сыновья твои и дочери твои съ тобою; ибо это дано въ участокъ тебј и въ участокъ сынамъ твоимъ изъ благодарственныхъ жертвъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ.

15 Плечо возношенія и грудь потрясанія должны они приносить съ огнепалимыми жертвами тука, потрясая предъ лицемъ Господнимъ, и да будетъ это вјчнымъ участкомъ тебј и сыновьямъ твоимъ съ тобою, какъ повелјлъ Господь.

16 Потомъ Моисей искалъ, искалъ козла жертвы за грјхъ, и вотъ онъ сожженъ. И разгнјвался Моисей на Елеазара и Иѕамара, оставшихся сыновъ Аароаовыхъ, и сказалъ:

17 почему вы не јли жертвы за грјхъ на святомъ мјстј? ибо это великая святыня, и она дана вамъ, чтобъ снимать грјхи съ общества и очищать ихъ предъ Господомъ.

18 Вотъ, кровь ея не внесена внутрь святилища. Вы должны јсть ее на святомъ мјстј, какъ повелјно мнј.

19 Ааронъ сказалъ Моисею: вотъ сегодня принесли они жертву свою за грјхъ и всесожженіе свое предъ Господомъ, и это случилось со мною; если я сегодня съјмъ жертву за грјхъ, будетъ ли сіе благоугодно въ очахъ Господа?

20 Моисей выслушалъ; это было благоугодно въ очахъ его.

9375. 'Nadab and Abihu' means teachings derived from both senses. This is clear from the fact that they were Aaron's sons; therefore when the Word is meant by 'Aaron', teachings are meant by 'his sons', teachings derived from the inward sense of the Word being meant by the older son, and teachings derived from the outward sense of it by the younger. Teachings derived from the inward sense of the Word and teachings derived from the outward sense of the Word make one with each other; for people alert to what lies on an inward level are aware also of what lies on an outward level. The Lord's Church exists everywhere on an inward level and on an outward level. The Church on an inward level resides in the heart, the Church on an outward level resides on the lips; that is, the inward Church resides in the will, the outward in action. When the inward level in a person makes one with the outward what resides in the heart then lies also on the lips, or what resides in the will then lies in action. Or what amounts to the same thing, what lies on the lips is then the heart speaking, and what lies in action is then the will acting, without any disagreement between the inward and the outward. Thus it is also faith speaking and love or charity acting, that is, it is the Lord, who is the Source of faith and charity, speaking and acting.

[2] Since Nadab and Abihu, Aaron's sons, represented teachings derived from the Word, they were therefore killed when they introduced worship based on teachings different from those derived from the Word. This was represented by the following incident involving them, recorded in Moses,

Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu each took his censer and put fire in it, onto which they placed incense, and in so doing offered to Jehovah foreign 1 fire, which He had not commanded them. Therefore fire went out from before Jehovah and devoured them, so that they died before Jehovah. And Moses said to Aaron, This is what Jehovah spoke, saying, In those who are near Me 2 I will be sanctified. Leviticus 10:1-3.

'Foreign fire in the censer' means teachings derived from a source other than the Word. For 'fire' means the good of love and 'incense' the truth of faith rising from it, and the good of love and the truth of faith are the realities which go to make teachings derived from the Word. From this it is evident why they were devoured by fire 'from before Jehovah'. 'Being sanctified through those who are near' means with those who are joined to the Lord through the good of love and the truth of faith derived from the Word. For the meaning of 'fire' as the good of heavenly love, see 934, 4906, 5071 (end), 5215, 6314, 6832, 6834, 6849, 7324, 7852, 9055; and the meaning of 'incense' as faith rising from the good of love will be shown elsewhere.

6849. 'For he was afraid to look at God' means for fear that they should suffer harm from the presence of the Divine itself. This is clear from the meaning of 'being afraid' as for fear that they, interior things, should suffer harm (for this was the reason for his fear); and from the meaning of 'looking at God' as the presence of the Divine itself. For the only way in which the Lord can make Himself present before a person is through the persons inner seeing, through seeing Him with the eye of faith that belongs to charity. If the Lord does manifest Himself in an outward visible form to someone, it is still the inner levels of mind that are affected, for the Divine reaches into the deepest parts of him. With regard to the meaning here, that interior things should not suffer harm from the presence of the Divine itself, and that therefore they were to be protected, the situation is this: The Divine itself is pure love, and pure love is like a fire hotter than the fire of the sun in this world. Consequently if Divine Love in its purity were to flow into any angel, spirit, or man, he would be completely destroyed, which is why so many times in the Word Jehovah or the Lord is called a consuming fire. To ensure therefore that the angels in heaven suffer no harm from the flow of heat from the Lord as the sun, each of them is veiled with a kind of thin cloud suited to the individual, which moderates the heat flowing in from that sun.

[2] The truth that without this form of preservation everyone would be destroyed by the presence of the Divine had been well known to the ancients, which was why they were afraid of seeing God, as is clear in the Book of Judges,

Gideon saw that he was the angel of Jehovah, therefore Gideon said, O Lord Jehovah! Inasmuch as I have seen the angel of Jehovah face to face. And Jehovah said to him, Peace be to you; do not fear, for you will not die. Judges 6:12, 23.

In the same book,

Manoah said to his wife, We shall surely die, for we have seen God. Judges 13:22.

And in the Book of Exodus,

Jehovah said to Moses, You cannot see My face, for no man will see My face and live. Exodus 33:20.

[3] When therefore Moses was allowed to see God, he was placed in a cleft of the rock, Exodus 33:22, which represented the dimness of his faith, and the clouds that hid and protected him. How dangerous it can be for angels to be beheld by the Divine without being covered by a cloud is made very clear by the fact that when angels look at any spirit who is governed by evil he seems to change into something resembling a lifeless object, as I have often been allowed to see. The reason why this happens is that when the angels look at someone there is cast in his direction the light and heat of heaven, and the truth of faith and the good of love with them, which - when these penetrate - virtually deprive the evil of life.

[4] If this is what happens when angels look at them, what would happen if the Lord did so? This explains why the hells are utterly remote from heaven, and why those who are there wish to be remote, for if they are not they suffer dreadful torment. This makes plain the meaning of the following words, They will say to the mountains and rocks, Rush down on us and hide us from the face of Him who is seated on the throne. Revelation 6:16; Luke 23:30; Hosea 10:8.

[5] Thus the presence of the Divine itself is such that no angel can bear it unless he is protected by a cloud which tempers and moderates the rays of light and the heat from that sun. From this one may recognize plainly that the Lord's Human is Divine, for if it were not Divine it could never have become so united to the Divine itself, called the Father, that they are one, according to the Lord's words in John 14:10 and following verses, and elsewhere. For that which is to receive the Divine in this way must be wholly Divine; what was not Divine from such a union would be plainly reduced to nothing. Let me use a comparison. Can anything be thrown into the fire of the sun and not be destroyed, unless it is similar in nature to the sun? So, can anyone enter the intense heat of infinite love unless he has in him the heat of the same kind of love, consequently unless he is none other than the Lord? The truth that the Father is within Him and that the Father does not show Himself except within His Divine Human is clear from the Lord's words in John,

Nobody has ever seen God; the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, He has made Him known. John 1:18.

And elsewhere in the same gospel,

You have never heard His voice nor seen His shape. John 5:37.
