Числа 28

1 И пришли дочери Салпаада, сына Хеферова, сына Галаадова, сына Махирова, сына Манассіина изъ племенъ Манассіи, сына Іосифова, и вотъ имена дочерей его: Махла, Ноа, Хогла, Милха и Фирца;

2 и предстали предъ Моисея и предъ Елеазара, священника, и предъ начальниковъ, и предъ все общество, у дверей скиніи собранія, и сказали:

3 отецъ нашъ умеръ въ пустынј, и онъ не былъ въ числј сообщниковъ, собравшихся противъ Господа съ скопищемъ Кореевымъ, но за свой грјхъ умеръ, и сыновей у него не было.

4 За что исчезать имени отца нашего изъ племени его, потому что нјтъ у него сына? Дай намъ удјлъ среди братьевъ отца нашего.

5 И представилъ Моисей дјло ихъ Господу.

6 И сказалъ Господь Моисею:

7 правду говорятъ дочери Салпаадовы, дай имъ удјлъ среди братьевъ отца ихъ, и передай удјлъ отца ихъ имъ.

8 И сынамъ Израилевымъ объяви, и скажи: если кто умретъ, не имјя у себя сына, то передавайте удјлъ его дочери его.

9 Если же нјтъ у него дочери, передавайте удјлъ его братьямъ его.

10 Если же нјтъ у него братьевъ, отдайте удјлъ его братьямъ отца его.

11 Если же нјтъ братьевъ отца его, отдайте удјлъ его близкому его родственнику изъ племени его, чтобъ онъ наслјдовалъ его; и да будетъ сіе для сыновъ Израилевыхъ постановлено въ законъ, какъ повелјлъ Господь Моисею.

12 И сказалъ Господь Моисею: взойди на сію гору Аваримъ и посмотри на землю, которую я даю сынамъ Израилевымъ;

13 посмотрјвъ иа нее, отойди къ народу своему и ты, какъ отошелъ Ааронъ братъ твой;

14 потому что вы не покорны были повелјнію Моему въ пустынј Цинъ, во время распри общества, когда надобно было предъ глазами ихъ явить святость Мою при водахъ (это воды Меривы при Кадесј въ пустынј Цинъ).

15 И говорилъ Моисей Господу, и сказалъ:

16 Господь, Богъ духовъ всякой плоти, да поставитъ надъ обществомъ симъ человјка,

17 который бы выходилъ предъ ними и который бы входилъ предъ ними, который бы выводилъ ихъ, и который бы вводилъ ихъ, чтобы не осталось общество Господне какъ овцы, у которыхъ нјтъ пастыря.

18 И сказалъ Господь Моисею: возьми себј Іисуса, сына Навина, человјка, въ которомъ есть Духъ, и возложи на него руку твою.

19 И поставь его предъ Елеазаромъ священникомъ и предъ всјмъ обществомъ, и дай ему наставленіе предъ глазами ихъ.

20 И сдјлай его участникомъ власти твоей, чтобы слушало его все общество сыновъ Израилевыхъ.

21 И пусть предстанетъ предъ Елеазара священника; сей вопроситъ о немъ посредствомъ урима предъ Господомъ, и по слову его должны выходить, и по слову его должны входить - онъ и всј сыны Израилевы съ нимъ, и все общество.

22 И сдјлалъ Моисей, какъ повелјлъ ему Господь; и взялъ Іисуса и поставилъ его предъ Елеазаромъ священникомъ и предъ всјмъ обществомъ.

23 И возложилъ на него руки свои и далъ ему наставленіе, какъ говорилъ Господь чрезъ Моисея.

922. 'He took from every clean beast, and from every clean bird' means goods that stem from charity, and the truths of faith. This has been shown already; 'beast' means goods that stem from charity, 45, 46, 142, 143, 246, 'bird' the truths of faith, 40, 776. Burnt offerings were made from cattle, from lambs and goats, and from turtle doves and young pigeons, Leviticus 1:2-17; Numbers 15:2-15; 28:1-end. These were clean beasts, each one of them meaning some particular heavenly quality. And because they meant these things in the Ancient Church, and in subsequent Churches represented them, it is clear that burnt offerings and sacrifices were nothing else than representatives that go with internal worship, and that when they had been divorced from internal worship they became idolatrous. This any mentally normal person can see, for what is an altar but merely something made of stone? And what is a burnt offering and a sacrifice but the slaughtering of an animal? For worship to be Divine it has to represent some heavenly quality which the worshippers know and acknowledge and from which they worship the One they are representing.

[2] Nobody except the person who does not wish to understand anything at all about the Lord can be ignorant of the fact that these things were representatives of the Lord. It is the internal things, namely charity and faith deriving from charity, through which the One who is being represented has to be seen, acknowledged, and believed, as is quite clear in the Prophets, for example in Jeremiah,

Thus said Jehovah Zebaoth, the God of Israel, Add your burnt offerings on to your sacrifices, and eat the flesh. I did not speak with your fathers and I did not command them on the day I brought them out of the land of Egypt on the matters of burnt offering and sacrifice. But this matter I commanded them, saying, Obey My voice, and I will be your God. Jeremiah 7:21-23.

Hearing or obeying His voice is obeying the law, the whole of which focuses on the one command that men should love God above everything else and their neighbour as themselves, for on these depend the Law and the Prophets, Matthew 22:37-40; 7:12. In David,

O Jehovah, sacrifice and offering You have not desired; burnt offering and sin-sacrifice You host not sought. I have delighted to do Your will, O my God, and Your law is within my heart. 1 Psalms 40:6, 8.

[3] In Samuel, who said to Saul,

Has Jehovah as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of Jehovah? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, to hearken than the fat of rams. 1 Samuel 15:22.

What obeying His voice involves is apparent in Micah,

Shall I come before Jehovah with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will Jehovah be pleased with thousands of rams, with tens of thousands of rivers of oil? He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does Jehovah require of you but to carry out judgement and the love of mercy, and to humble yourself by walking with your God. Micah 6:6-8.

These are the things that burnt offerings and sacrifices of clean beasts and birds mean. In Amos,

Though you offer Me your burnt offerings and gifts, I will not accept them, and the peace offering of your fatted ones I will not look upon. Let judgement flow like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream. Amos 5:22, 24.

'Judgement' means truth, and 'righteousness' good. Both stem from charity and are the burnt offerings and sacrifices of the internal man. In Hosea,

I desire mercy and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. Hosea 6:6.

From all these quotations the nature of sacrifices and burnt offerings when charity and faith are not present is clear. It is also clear from them that because 'clean beasts and clean birds' meant the goods that stem from charity and faith they also represented them.
