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.

468. And his feet like pillars of fire. This symbolizes the Lord's Divinity on the natural plane in respect to His Divine love, which sustains all things.

This, too, is apparent, from the explanation in no. 49 above, where it is said of the Son of Man that "His feet were like fine brass, as though fired in a furnace."

The angel's feet looked like pillars of fire because the Lord's Divinity on the natural plane - which fundamentally is the Divine humanity that He took on in the world - supports His Divinity from eternity, as the body does the soul, and likewise as the Word's natural meaning supports its spiritual and celestial meanings, on which subject see The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Regarding the Sacred Scripture, nos. 27-49. To be shown that feet symbolize something natural, see no. 49, and a pillar something that supports, no. 191.

Fire symbolizes love because spiritual fire is nothing else. Therefore it is customary in worship to pray that heavenly fire, that is to say, heavenly love, may kindle the worshipers' hearts. People know that there is a correspondence between fire and love from the fact that a person grows warm with love, and cold with its loss. Nothing else produces vital warmth but love, in both senses. The origin of these correspondences is owing to the existence of two suns, one in the heavens, which is pure love, and the other in the world, which is nothing but fire. This, too, is the reason for the correspondence between all spiritual and natural things.

[2] Since fire symbolizes Divine love, therefore on Mount Horeb Jehovah appeared to Moses in a bush on fire (Exodus 3:1-3). Moreover He descended upon Mount Sinai in fire (Deuteronomy 4:36). For this reason, too, the seven lamps of the lampstand in the Tabernacle were lit every evening, so as to burn before Jehovah (Leviticus 24:2-4). For the same reason fire burned continually on the altar and was not extinguished (Leviticus 6:13), and the priests took fire from the altar in their censers and burned incense (Leviticus 16:12-13).

Therefore Jehovah went before the children of Israel by night in a pillar of fire (Exodus 13:21-22). Fire from heaven consumed the burnt offerings on the altar, as a sign of His being well pleased (Leviticus 9:24, 1 Kings 18:38). The burnt offerings were called offerings by fire to Jehovah, and offerings by fire for a restful aroma to Jehovah (Exodus 29:18; Leviticus 1:9, 13, 17; 2:2, 9-11; 3:5, 16; 4:35; 5:12; 7:30; 21:6; Numbers 28:2; Deuteronomy 18:1).

Therefore in the book of Revelation the Lord's eyes looked like a flame of fire (Revelation 1:14; 2:18; 19:12, cf. Daniel 10:5-6). And seven lamps of fire burned before the throne (Revelation 4:5).

It is apparent from this what lamps containing oil and lamps without oil symbolize (Matthew 25:1-11). The oil means fire, and thus love.

And so on in many other places.

In an opposite sense fire symbolizes hellish love, and this is plain from so many passages in the Word that it would be impossible to cite them all because of their number. See something on the subject in the book Heaven and Hell, published in London, nos. 566-575.
