Левит 10

Studie

   

1 Надав и Авиуд, сыны Аароновы, взяли каждый свою кадильницу, и положили в них огня, и вложили в него курений, и принесли пред Господа огонь чуждый, которого Он не велел им;

2 и вышел огонь от Господа и сжег их, и умерли они пред лицем Господним.

3 И сказал Моисей Аарону: вот о чем говорил Господь, когда сказал: в приближающихся ко Мне освящусь и пред всем народом прославлюсь. Аарон молчал.

4 И позвал Моисей Мисаила и Елцафана, сынов Узиила, дяди Ааронова, и сказал им: пойдите, вынесите братьев ваших из святилища за стан.

5 И пошли и вынесли их в хитонах их за стан, как сказал Моисей.

6 Аарону же и Елеазару и Ифамару, сынам его, Моисей сказал: голов вашихне обнажайте и одежд ваших не раздирайте, чтобы вам не умереть и не навести гнева на все общество; но братья ваши, весь дом Израилев, могут плакать о сожженных, которых сожег Господь,

7 и из дверей скинии собрания не выходите, чтобы не умереть вам, ибо на вас елей помазания Господня. И сделали по слову Моисея.

8 И сказал Господь Аарону, говоря:

9 вина и крепких напитков не пей ты и сыны твои с тобою, когда входите в скинию собрания, чтобы не умереть. Это вечное постановление в роды ваши,

10 чтобы вы могли отличать священное от несвященного и нечистое от чистого,

11 и научать сынов Израилевых всем уставам, которые изрек им Господь чрез Моисея.

12 И сказал Моисей Аарону и Елеазару и Ифамару, оставшимся сынам его: возьмите приношение хлебное, оставшееся от жертв Господних, и ешьте его пресное у жертвенника, ибо это великая святыня;

13 и ешьте его на святом месте, ибо это участок твой и участок сынов твоих из жертв Господних: так мне повелено от Господа ;

14 и грудь потрясания и плечо возношения ешьте на чистом месте, тыи сыновья твои и дочери твои с тобою, ибо это дано в участок тебе и в участок сынам твоим из мирных жертв сынов Израилевых;

15 плечо возношения и грудь потрясания должны они приносить с жертвами тука, потрясая пред лицем Господним, и да будет это вечным участком тебе и сыновьям твоим с тобою, как повелел Господь.

16 И козла жертвы за грех искал Моисей, и вот, он сожжен. И разгневался на Елеазара и Ифамара, оставшихся сынов Аароновых, и сказал:

17 почему вы не ели жертвы за грех на святом месте? ибо она святыня великая, и она дана вам, чтобы снимать грехи с общества и очищать их пред Господом;

18 вот, кровь ее не внесена внутрь святилища, а вы должны были есть ее на святом месте, как повелено мне.

19 Аарон сказал Моисею: вот, сегодня принесли они жертву свою за грех и всесожжение свое пред Господом, и это случилось со мною; если я сегодня съем жертву за грех, будет ли это угодно Господу?

20 И услышал Моисей и одобрил.

496. Verse 5. And the angel took the censer and filled it from the fire of the altar, signifies the conjunction of celestial love and spiritual love. This is evident from the signification of a "censer," as being spiritual good (of which above, n. 491, and therefore also spiritual love, since all good is of love; also from the signification of "the fire of the altar," as being celestial love, for "fire" signifies in the Word love in both senses, namely, celestial love and infernal love. "The fire of the altar" signifies celestial love, because the altar of burnt-offering, upon which was the fire, was the chief representative of the worship of the Lord from that love (See above, n. 490); and because this love of the Lord is perpetual, therefore it was appointed that a fire should burn continually upon the altar, and that they should take of that fire in the censers for burning incense, which was done to represent the conjunction of celestial love with spiritual love.

[2] That a fire should burn continually upon the altar is evident from Moses:

And the fire upon the altar shall be kept burning, and shall not be put out; and the priest shall kindle wood on it every morning, and shall arrange on it the burnt-offering and he shall burn on it the fats of the peace-offerings. The fire shall be kept burning continually upon the altar, it shall not be quenched (Leviticus 6:12, 13).

This represented that the Lord's Divine love is unceasing and eternal.

[3] That they should take from the fire of the altar in the censers for burning incense see also in Moses:

Aaron shall take burning coals of fire from off the altar before Jehovah in a censer; and he shall put the incense upon the fire before Jehovah (Leviticus 16:12, 13).

And that Aaron took fire from off the altar, and put incense on it, by which expiation was made for the people (Numbers 16:46, 47).

This represented that all propitiation and expiation were from the Lord's Divine love, as also that everything that has that love in it is heard and received by the Lord; and the rising of the smoke of the incense represented also hearing and reception.

[4] And because Korah, Dathan, and Abiram and their company, took fire from the altar and burned incense, and thence their censers were sanctified:

It was commanded that after they had been swallowed up by the earth, their censers, which were of brass, should be gathered up, and the fire be scattered yonder, and the censers be beaten into plates for covering the altar (Numbers 16:36-39).

This also represented the holiness of the Lord's Divine love. And as incense-offerings were holy from the fire of the altar, so incense-offerings with strange fire were profane, therefore:

Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, were consumed by fire from heaven, because they offered incense with strange fire (Leviticus 10:1, 2).

Incense offering from strange fire represented worship from love other than Divine, and worship from any other love is profane.

[5] These passages have been cited to make known that "the fire of the altar" signifies the Lord's Divine love, which love in heaven is called Divine celestial love and Divine spiritual love; Divine celestial love is in the Lord's celestial kingdom, and Divine spiritual love is in the Lord's spiritual kingdom. For there are two kingdoms, into which all the heavens are divided, the celestial kingdom and the spiritual kingdom; Divine celestial love constitutes the celestial kingdom, and Divine spiritual love the spiritual kingdom. (That all the heavens are divided into these two kingdoms, see in the work on Heaven and Hell n.20-28; and that these two loves constitute these two kingdoms, or all the heavens, n. 13-19.) But it must be noted that the Lord's Divine love in the heavens is called celestial and spiritual from its reception by the angels, and not from its being divided in itself; also that spiritual love springs from celestial love as an effect from its effecting cause, and as truth from good; for the good of spiritual love is in its essence the truth of the good of celestial love. For this reason these two kingdoms are conjoined with each other and are one in the Lord's sight. But this has been said for those who love to search into interior things. That "fire" signifies love in both senses will be seen confirmed from the Word in what follows.
