Левит 9

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.

438. They had tails like scorpions. (9:10) This symbolizes the Word's truths falsified, by which they induce a mental numbness.

A tail symbolizes the last extension of the head, because the brain extends through the spinal column into the tail. Consequently the head and the tail are united as their first and last elements. Consequently, when the head symbolizes a justifying and saving faith alone, the tail symbolizes in summary all its proofs, and as these are taken from the Word, it symbolizes the Word's truths falsified.

Everyone who assumes some principle of religion on the basis of on his own intelligence and puts it at the head of the rest, also takes proof passages from the Word and puts them at the tail, thus inducing a mental numbness in others and so doing them injury. That is why we are told that "they had tails like scorpions," and next, that "there were stings in their tails," and that "their power was to hurt men." For a scorpion symbolizes a persuasiveness that induces a numbness in the intellect (no. 425).

To be assured that the tail is an extension of the brain through the spinal column to its final point, ask any anatomist and he will tell you. Or look at a dog or some other fierce animal that has a tail, and if you treat it kindly and make yourself agreeable to it, you will see its stiffened back soften and its tail move in a corresponding manner. But on the other hand, if you annoy it, its backbone stiffens.

[2] The primary tenet of the intellect that is assumed as a principle is symbolized by the head, and its final expression by the tail, also in the following passages:

...He will cut off head and tail from Israel... The elder and honorable man is the head; but the prophet who teaches lies is the tail. (Isaiah 9:14-15)

There will not be any work for Egypt that the head or tail... may do. (Isaiah 19:15)

Nothing else is symbolized by the dragon's seven heads and the tail by which it drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth, in Revelation 12:3-4; and also by the tails like serpents, having heads, with which they do harm, in verse 19 of this chapter.

Since the tail symbolizes the final element, and the final element embraces all the rest, therefore Jehovah said to Moses,

"...take (the serpent) by the tail." And he... caught it, and it became a rod... (Exodus 4:3-4)

The priests were also commanded therefore to remove the whole tail close to the backbone and to sacrifice it with the fat on the entrails, the kidneys, the intestines, and the liver (Leviticus 3:9-11; 8:25; 9:19, Exodus 29:22).

To be shown that the final element contains and embraces all the prior ones, see The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Regarding the Sacred Scripture, nos. 38 65, and Angelic Wisdom Regarding Divine Love and Wisdom, nos. 209-216 217-222.
