Lamentaciones 4

Studie

   

1 COMO se ha oscurecido el oro! ­Cómo el buen oro se ha demudado! Las piedras del santuario están esparcidas por las encrucijadas de todas las calles.

2 Los hijos de Sión, preciados y estimados más que el oro puro, ­Cómo son tenidos por vasos de barro, obra de manos de alfarero!

3 Aun los monstruos marinos sacan la teta, dan de mamar a sus chiquitos: La hija de mi pueblo es cruel, como los avestruces en el desierto.

4 La lengua del niño de teta, de sed se pegó á su paladar: Los chiquitos pidieron pan, y no hubo quien se lo partiese.

5 Los que comían delicadamente, asolados fueron en las calles; Los que se criaron en carmesí, abrazaron los estercoleros.

6 Y aumentóse la iniquidad de la hija de mi pueblo más que el pecado de Sodoma, Que fué trastornada en un momento, y no asentaron sobre ella compañías.

7 Sus Nazareos fueron blancos más que la nieve, más lustrosos que la leche. Su compostura más rubicunda que los rubíes, más bellos que el zafiro:

8 Oscura más que la negrura es la forma de ellos; no los conocen por las calles: Su piel está pegada á sus huesos, seca como un palo.

9 Más dichosos fueron los muertos á cuchillo que los muertos del hambre; Porque éstos murieron poco á poco por falta de los frutos de la tierra.

10 Las manos de las mujeres piadosas cocieron á sus hijos; Fuéronles comida en el quebrantamiento de la hija de mi pueblo.

11 Cumplió Jehová su enojo, derramó el ardor de su ira; Y encendió fuego en Sión, que consumió sus fundamentos.

12 Nunca los reyes de la tierra, ni todos los que habitan en el mundo, Creyeron que el enemigo y el adversario entrara por las puertas de Jerusalem.

13 Es por los pecados de sus profetas, por las maldades de sus sacerdotes, Que derramaron en medio de ella la sangre de los justos.

14 Titubearon como ciegos en las calles, fueron contaminados en sangre, De modo que no pudiesen tocar á sus vestiduras.

15 Apartaos ­inmundos!, les gritaban, Apartaos, apartaos, no toquéis. Cuando huyeron y fueron dispersos, dijeron entre las gentes: Nunca más morarán aquí

16 La ira de Jehová los apartó, no los mirará más: No respetaron la faz de los sacerdotes, ni tuvieron compasión de los viejos.

17 Aun nos han desfallecido nuestros ojos tras nuestro vano socorro: En nuestra esperanza aguardamos gente que no puede salvar.

18 Cazaron nuestro pasos, que no anduviésemos por nuestras calles: Acercóse nuestro fin, cumpliéronse nuestros días; porque nuestro fin vino.

19 Ligeros fueron nuestros perseguidores más que las águilas del cielo: Sobre los montes nos persiguieron, en el desierto nos pusieron emboscada.

20 El resuello de nuestras narices, el ungido de Jehová, De quien habíamos dicho: A su sombra tendremos vida entre las gentes: fué preso en sus hoyos.

21 Gózate y alégrate, hija de Edom, la que habitas en tierra de Hus: Aun hasta ti pasará el cáliz; embriagarte has, y vomitarás.

22 Cumplido es tu castigo, oh hija de Sión: Nunca más te hará trasportar. Visitará tu iniquidad, oh hija de Edom; Descubrirá tus pecados.

Liver

  

'The liver,' as in Exodus 29:13, signifies interior purification, and 'the caul above the liver,' the inferior good of the external or natural self.

Numbers 6

Studie

   

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: 'When either man or woman shall make a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to Yahweh,

3 he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink. He shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of fermented drink, neither shall he drink any juice of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried.

4 All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is made of the grapevine, from the seeds even to the skins.

5 "'All the days of his vow of separation no razor shall come on his head, until the days are fulfilled, in which he separates himself to Yahweh. He shall be holy. He shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow long.

6 "'All the days that he separates himself to Yahweh he shall not go near a dead body.

7 He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die; because his separation to God is on his head.

8 All the days of his separation he is holy to Yahweh.

9 "'If any man dies very suddenly beside him, and he defiles the head of his separation; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing. On the seventh day he shall shave it.

10 On the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting.

11 The priest shall offer one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he sinned by reason of the dead, and shall make his head holy that same day.

12 He shall separate to Yahweh the days of his separation, and shall bring a male lamb a year old for a trespass offering; but the former days shall be void, because his separation was defiled.

13 "'This is the law of the Nazirite: when the days of his separation are fulfilled, he shall be brought to the door of the Tent of Meeting,

14 and he shall offer his offering to Yahweh, one male lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,

15 and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their meal offering, and their drink offerings.

16 The priest shall present them before Yahweh, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering.

17 He shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh, with the basket of unleavened bread. The priest shall offer also its meal offering, and its drink offering.

18 The Nazirite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of peace offerings.

19 The priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them on the hands of the Nazirite, after he has shaved the head of his separation;

20 and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh. This is holy for the priest, together with the breast that is waved and the thigh that is offered. After that the Nazirite may drink wine.

21 "'This is the law of the Nazirite who vows, and of his offering to Yahweh for his separation, besides that which he is able to get. According to his vow which he vows, so he must do after the law of his separation.'"

22 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

23 "Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, 'This is how you shall bless the children of Israel.' You shall tell them,

24 'Yahweh bless you, and keep you.

25 Yahweh make his face to shine on you, and be gracious to you.

26 Yahweh lift up his face toward you, and give you peace.'

27 "So they shall put my name on the children of Israel; and I will bless them."
