Levitski Zakonik 12

Studie

   

1 I reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

2 Kaži sinovima Izrailjevim, i reci: Kad žena zatrudni i rodi muško, nečista da je sedam dana; kao u dane kad se odvaja radi nemoći svoje, biće nečista.

3 A u osmi dan neka se obreže dete.

4 A ona još trideset i tri dana neka ostane čisteći se od krvi; ni jedne svete stvari da se ne dodeva i u svetinju da ne ide dok se ne navrše dani čišćenja njenog.

5 A kad rodi žensko, onda da je nečista dve nedelje dana, kao kad se odvaja radi nemoći svoje, i šezdeset i šest dana neka ostane čisteći se od krvi.

6 A kad se navrše dani čišćenja njenog radi sina ili radi kćeri, neka donese svešteniku na vrata šatora od sastanka jagnje od godine za žrtvu paljenicu, i golupče ili grlicu za žrtvu radi greha.

7 I sveštenik će prineti žrtvu pred Gospodom, i očistiće je od greha njenog; i tako će se očistiti od tečenja krvi svoje. To je zakon za ženu kad rodi muško ili žensko.

8 Ako li ne može dati jagnjeta, onda neka uzme dve grlice ili dva golubića, jedno za žrtvu paljenicu a drugo za žrtvu radi greha; i očistiće je sveštenik od greha njenog, i biće čista.

Daughter

  
A nice mother-daughter hug.

Marriages among people – both in the Bible and in life – represent spiritual marriage. Women represent the desire to be good and to do good things; men represent the understanding of how to be good and how to do good things. Each one of us, male or female, can experience that marriage within us if we work to learn about the Lord and dedicate ourselves to doing His will. And just as natural marriages produce children, so do spiritual marriages. Daughters represent affections, the emotional response we have to good things and positive ideas. Sons represent those positive ideas, facts and knowledge leading to a greater understanding. This makes sense if you think about it. If in life you’re working to be a good person and thinking about how to do that, finding a nugget of wisdom in the Word – or from another source – is a joyful thing. Finding a way to be good to someone and serve them is a joyful thing as well (it helps if they appreciate it, but that’s not really the point). That joy, that affection for what is true and what is good, is a "daughter." On a broader level, daughters also sometimes represent churches, since churches are based on an affection for truth. And as with all representations, the meaning of "daughter" can also be reversed, representing the thrill of evil.

In Psalm 45:9, this signifies a church from goods. (Arcana Coelestia 490)

In Genesis 20:12, this signifies the rational, conceived of celestial good as a father, but not of spiritual truth as a mother. (Arcana Coelestia 2557)
