Левит 24

Studie

   

1 И говорилъ Господь Моисею, и сказалъ:

2 прикажи сынамъ Израилевымъ, чтобъ они принесли тебј елея чистаго выбитаго для свјтильника, чтобъ непрестанно стояли лампады,

3 Внј завјсы откровенія, въ скиніи собранія Ааронъ долженъ ставить ихъ предъ Господомъ отъ вечера до утра всегда. Это вјчное постановленіе въ роды ваши.

4 На подсвјчникј изъ чистаго золота долженъ онъ ставить лампады предъ Господомъ всегда.

5 И возьми пшеничной муки, испеки изъ ней двјнадцать хлјбовъ, чтобы въ каждомъ хлјбј были двј десятыхъ части ефы,

6 и иоложи ихъ въ два ряда, по шести въ рядъ, на столъ изъ чистаго золота предъ Господомъ.

7 И положи на рядъ ливана, и будетъ это въ пищу, въ память, въ огнепалимую жертву Господу.

8 Въ каждый день субботы должно класть ихъ предъ Господомъ всегда отъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ: это завјтъ вјчный.

9 Они должны принадлежать Аарону и сынамъ его, которые должны јсть ихъ на святомъ мјстј; ибо это великая святыня для нихъ изъ жертвъ Господнихъ: это вјчное постановленіе.

10 Сынъ Израильтянки, который родился у ней отъ Египтянина, вышелъ къ сынамъ Израилевымъ, и поссорился въ станј сынъ Израильтянки съ Израильтяниномъ;

11 хулилъ сынъ Израильтянки имя Господне, и злословилъ. И привели его къ Моисею, (имя же матери его Саломиѕъ, дочь Дивріева, изъ племени Данова);

12 и посадили его подъ стражу, пока не будетъ имъ объявлено отъ Господа, какъ поступить съ нимъ.

13 И говорилъ Господь Моисею, и сказалъ:

14 выведи злословившаго вонъ изъ стана, и всј слышавшіе пусть положатъ руки свои на голову его, и все общество побьетъ его камнями.

15 И сынамъ Израилевымъ скажи: кто будетъ злословить Бога своего, тотъ понесетъ на себј грјхъ свой.

16 И хулитель имени Господня долженъ умереть, камнями побьетъ его все общество. Пришлецъ ли, природный ли житель станетъ хулить имя Господне, преданъ будетъ смерти.

17 Кто убьетъ какого-либо человјка, тотъ преданъ будетъ смерти.

18 Кто убьетъ скотину, тотъ долженъ заплатить за нее, скотину за скотину.

19 Кто сдјлаетъ поврежденіе на тјлј ближняго своего, тому должно сдјлать тоже, что онъ сдјлалъ.

20 Переломъ за переломъ, око за око, зубъ за зубъ: какъ онъ сдјлалъ поврежденіе на тјлј человјка, такъ и ему должно сдјлать.

21 Кто убьетъ скотину, долженъ заплатить за нее; а кто убьетъ человјка, того должно предать смерти.

22 Одинъ судъ долженъ быть у васъ, тоже должно дјлать съ пришельцемъ, что и съ природнымъ жителемъ; ибо Я Господь, Богъ вашъ.

23 И сказалъ Моисей сынамъ Израилевымъ; и вывели злословившаго вонъ изъ стана и побили его камнями, и сдјлали сыны Израилевы, какъ повелјлъ Господь Моисею.

Moses

  

At the inmost level, the story of Moses -- like all of the Bible -- is about the Lord and his spiritual development during his human life as Jesus. Moses's role represents establishing forms of worship and to make the people obedient. As such, his primary representation is "the Law of God," the rules God gave the people of Israel to follow in order to represent spiritual things. This can be interpreted narrowly as the Ten Commandments, more broadly as the books of Moses, or most broadly as the entire Bible. Fittingly, his spiritual meaning is complex and important, and evolves throughout the course of his life. To understand it, it helps to understand the meaning of the events in which he was involved. At a more basic level, Moses's story deals with the establishment of the third church to serve as a container of knowledge of the Lord. The first such church -- the Most Ancient Church, represented by Adam and centered on love of the Lord -- had fallen prey to human pride and was destroyed. The second -- the Ancient Church, represented by Noah and the generations that followed him -- was centered on love of the neighbor, wisdom from the Lord and knowledge of the correspondences between natural and spiritual things. It fell prey to the pride of intelligence, however -- represented by the Tower of Babel -- and at the time of Moses was in scattered pockets that were sliding into idolatry. On an external level, of course, Moses led the people of Israel out of Egypt through 40 years in the wilderness to the border of the homeland God had promised them. Along the way, he established and codified their religious system, and oversaw the creation of its most holy objects. Those rules and the forms of worship they created were given as containers for deeper ideas about the Lord, deeper truth, and at some points -- especially when he was first leading his people away from Egypt, a time before the rules had been written down -- Moses takes on the deeper representation of Divine Truth itself, truth from the Lord. At other times -- especially after Mount Sinai -- he has a less exalted meaning, representing the people of Israel themselves due to his position as their leader. Through Moses the Lord established a third church, one more external than its predecessors but one that could preserve knowledge of the Lord and could, through worship that represented spiritual things, make it possible for the Bible to be written and passed to future generations.
