Studie

   

1 Въ осьмой день призвалъ Моисей Аарона, и сыновъ его, и старјйшинъ Израилевыхъ,

2 и сказалъ Аарону: возьми себј изъ воловъ тельца въ жертву за грјхъ и овна во всесожженіе, обоихъ безъ порока, и представь предъ лице Господне.

3 И сынамъ Израилевымъ скажи: возьмите изъ стада козъ козла въ жертву за грјхъ, и тельца, и агнца - однолјтнихъ, безъ порока, во всесожженіе,

4 и вола и овна въ жертву благодарственную, чтобы совершить жертвоприношеніе предъ лицемъ Господнимъ, и приношеніе хлјбное, облитое елеемъ; ибо сегодня Господь явится вамъ.

5 И принесли то, что приказалъ Моисей, предъ скинію собранія, и пришло все общество и стало предъ лицемъ Господнимъ.

6 И сказалъ Моисей: вотъ что повелјлъ Господь сдјлать, и тогда явится вамъ слава Господня.

7 И сказалъ Моисей Аарону: приступи къ жертвеннику и соверши жертву твою о грјхј, и всесожженіе твое, и очисти себя и народъ, и сдјлай приношеніе отъ народа и очисти ихъ такъ, какъ повелјлъ Господь.

8 И приступилъ Ааронъ къ жертвеннику, и закололъ тельца, который отъ него, - за грјхъ.

9 Сыны Аарона поднесли ему кровь, онъ омочилъ перстъ свой въ кровь, и возложилъ на роги жертвенника, а остальную кровь вылилъ у основанія жертвенника.

10 А тукъ, и почки, и перепонку съ печени отъ жертвы за грјхъ воскурилъ на жертвенникј, такъ, какъ повелјлъ Господь Моисею;

11 мясо же и кожу сжегъ на огнј внј стана.

12 Потомъ закололъ всесожженіе, сыны Аарона поднесли ему кровь; онъ покропилъ ею на жертвенникъ со всјхъ сторонъ.

13 И принесли ему всесожженіе въ кускахъ и голову, и онъ сжегъ на жертвенникј,

14 а внутренности и ноги омылъ и сжегъ со всесожженіемъ на жертвенникј.

15 Потомъ принесъ приношеніе отъ народа, и взялъ отъ народа козла за грјхъ, и закололъ его и принесъ въ жертву за грјхъ, какъ прежде.

16 И принесъ всесожженіе и совершилъ его по обряду.

17 И принесъ приношеніе хлјбное, и наполнилъ имъ руки свои, и сжегъ на жертвенникј сверхъ утренняго всесожженія.

18 Потомъ закололъ вола и овна, которые отъ народа, въ жертву благодарственную; сыны Аарона поднесли ему кровь, онъ покропилъ ею на жертвенникъ со всјхъ сторонъ.

19 Поднесли также тукъ изъ вола и овна, и курдюкъ, тут покрывающій внутренности, почки, и перепонку съ печени,

20 и положили туки на груди, и онъ воскурилъ туки на жертвенникј.

21 А груди и правое плечо принесъ Ааронъ, потрясая предъ лицемъ Господнимъ, такъ, какъ приказалъ Моисей.

22 И поднялъ Ааронъ руки свои, обратясь къ народу, и благословилъ его, и сошелъ, совершивъ жертву за грјхъ, всесожженіе и жертву благодарственную.

23 И вошли Моисей и Ааронъ въ скинію собранія, и вышли, и благословили народъ. Тогда явилась слава Господня всему народу:

24 огнь исшелъ отъ Господа, и сжегъ на жертвенникј всесожженіе и туки. Весь народъ видјлъ сіе, и воскликнули отъ радости, и пали на лица свои.

392. Then another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer. (8:3) This symbolizes spiritual worship, which originates from the goodness of charity expressed through truths of faith.

The altar at which the angel stood, and the golden censer that he had in his hand, symbolize worship of the Lord springing from a spiritual love, which is worship that originates from the goodness of charity expressed through truths of faith.

The children of Israel had two altars, one outside the Tabernacle, the other inside the Tabernacle. The altar outside the Tabernacle was called the altar of burnt offering, because burnt offerings and other sacrifices were presented on it. The altar inside the Tabernacle was called the altar of incense, and also the golden altar.

They had these two altars because worship of the Lord originates from celestial love and from spiritual love - from celestial love in the case of angels in His celestial kingdom, and from spiritual love in the case of angels in His spiritual kingdom. Regarding these two kingdoms, see no. 387 above.

Regarding the two altars, see the following passages in the books of Moses: On the altar of burnt offering, Exodus 20:24-26; 27:1-8; 29:36-43, Leviticus 6:8-12; 8:11; 16:18-19, 33-34. On the altar of incense, Exodus 30:1-10; 31:8; 37:25-29; 40:5, 26, Numbers 7:1.

John saw altars, censers, and the burning of incense, not because things of that kind are found in heaven. They were simply images representative of the worship of the Lord there. John saw them because such things were instituted among the children of Israel, and are often mentioned, therefore, in the Word. Moreover that church was a representational church, for every aspect of their worship was representative, and therefore those things now symbolize the Lord's Divinely given celestial and spiritual elements which are connected with His church in heaven and on earth.

[2] These same things are therefore symbolically meant in the Word by these two altars in the following places:

Send out Your light and Your truth! Let them lead me... to Your habitations. Then I will go to the altar of God, to God... (Psalms 43:3-4)

I wash my hands in innocence, and go around your altar, O Jehovah, and I will make to be heard the voice of confession... (Psalms 26:6-7)

The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron... on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of your altars... (Jeremiah 17:1-2)

God is Jehovah, who gives us light; bind the festal sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar. (Psalms 118:27)

In that day there will be an altar to Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt... (Isaiah 19:19)

An altar to Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt symbolizes worship of the Lord originating from love in the natural person.

The thistle and thorn shall rise up on their altars. (Hosea 10:8)

These symbolize worship originating from evils and from the falsities accompanying evil.

See also elsewhere, such as Isaiah 27:9; 56:6-7; 60:7.

[3] Since an altar represented and so symbolized worship of the Lord, it is apparent that the altar here in the book of Revelation has no other meaning, and so, too, elsewhere. As for example:

...I saw under the altar the souls of those slain for the Word of God... (Revelation 6:9)

...the angel stood and said, ."..measure the temple of God and the altar, and those who worship in it." (Revelation 11:1)

...I heard another (angel) from the altar saying, ."..true and just are Your judgments." (Revelation 16:7)

Since representative worship was carried out principally upon the two altars, and since it was abolished by the Lord when He came into the world because He laid open the inner qualities of a church, we are accordingly told in Isaiah,

In that day a man will look to his Maker, and his eyes will regard the Holy One of Israel, and... not... to the altars, the work of his hands. (Isaiah 17:7-8)
