Levítico 27

Studie

   

1 Y habló el SEÑOR a Moisés, diciendo:

2 Habla a los hijos de Israel, y diles: Cuando alguno hiciere especial voto al SEÑOR, según la estimación de las personas que se hayan de redimir , así será tu estimación:

3 En cuanto al macho de veinte años hasta sesenta, tu estimación será cincuenta siclos de plata, según el siclo del santuario.

4 Y si fuere hembra, la estimación será treinta siclos.

5 Y si fuere de cinco años hasta veinte, tu estimación será respecto al macho veinte siclos, y a la hembra diez siclos.

6 Y si fuere de un mes hasta cinco años, tu estimación será en orden al macho, cinco siclos de plata; y por la hembra será tu estimación tres siclos de plata.

7 Mas si fuere de sesenta años arriba, por el macho tu estimación será quince siclos, y por la hembra diez siclos.

8 Pero si fuere más pobre que tu estimación, entonces comparecerá ante el sacerdote, y el sacerdote le apreciará; conforme a la facultad del votante le apreciará el sacerdote.

9 Y si fuere animal de que se ofrece ofrenda al SEÑOR, todo lo que se diere de él al SEÑOR será santo.

10 No será mudado ni trocado, bueno por malo, ni malo por bueno; y si se permutare un animal por otro, él y el dado por él en cambio serán del santuario.

11 Y si fuere algún animal inmundo, de que no se ofrece ofrenda al SEÑOR, entonces el animal será puesto delante del sacerdote,

12 y el sacerdote lo apreciará, sea bueno o sea malo; conforme a la estimación del sacerdote, así será.

13 Y si lo hubieren de redimir, añadirán su quinto sobre tu estimación.

14 Y cuando alguno santificare su casa en santificación al SEÑOR, la apreciará el sacerdote, sea buena o sea mala; según la apreciare el sacerdote, así quedará.

15 Mas si el santificante redimiere su casa, añadirá a tu estimación el quinto del dinero sobre ella, y será suya.

16 Y si alguno santificare de la tierra de su posesión al SEÑOR, tu estimación será conforme a su sembradura; un homer de sembradura de cebada se apreciará en cincuenta siclos de plata.

17 Y si santificare su tierra desde el año del jubileo, conforme a tu estimación quedará.

18 Mas si después del jubileo santificare su tierra, entonces el sacerdote hará la cuenta del dinero conforme a los años que quedaren hasta el año del jubileo, y se rebajará de tu estimación.

19 Y si el que santificó la tierra quisiere redimirla, añadirá a tu estimación el quinto del dinero de ella, y se le quedará para él.

20 Mas si él no redimiere la tierra, y la tierra se vendiere a otro, no la redimirá más;

21 sino que cuando saliere en el jubileo, la tierra será santa al SEÑOR, como tierra de anatema; la posesión de ella será del sacerdote.

22 Y si santificare alguno al SEÑOR la tierra que él compró, que no era de la tierra de su herencia,

23 entonces el sacerdote calculará con él la suma de tu estimación hasta el año del jubileo, y aquel día dará tu señalado precio, cosa consagrada al SEÑOR.

24 En el año del jubileo, volverá la tierra a aquel de quien él la compró, cuya era la herencia de la tierra.

25 Y todo lo que apreciares será conforme al siclo del santuario; el siclo tiene veinte óbolos.

26 Pero el primogénito de los animales, que por la primogenitura es del SEÑOR, nadie lo santificará; sea buey u oveja, del SEÑOR es.

27 Mas si fuere de los animales inmundos, lo redimirán conforme a tu estimación, y añadirán sobre ella su quinto; y si no lo redimieren, se venderá conforme a tu estimación.

28 Pero ningún anatema, que alguno santificare al SEÑOR de todo lo que tuviere, de hombres y animales, y de las tierras de su posesión, no se venderá, ni se redimirá. Todo anatema será cosa santísima al SEÑOR.

29 Cualquier anatema de hombres que se consagrare no será redimido; indefectiblemente morirá.

30 Y todos los diezmos de la tierra, así de la simiente de la tierra como del fruto de los árboles, del SEÑOR son; es santidad al SEÑOR.

31 Y si alguno quisiere redimir algo de sus diezmos, añadirá su quinto a ello.

32 Y todo diezmo de vacas o de ovejas, de todo lo que pasa bajo la vara, el diezmo será santidad al SEÑOR.

33 No mirará si es bueno o malo, ni lo trocará; y si lo trocare, ello y su trueque serán santificación; no se redimirá.

34 Estos son los mandamientos que ordenó el SEÑOR a Moisés, para los hijos de Israel, en el monte de Sinaí.

Apocalypse Explained # 549

549. And their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when it striketh a man, signifies that the darkening and drawing away from seeing the truth is caused by the persuasion with which the mind is infatuated. This is evident from the signification of "torment," as being the darkening of the mind and drawing it away from seeing truth (See just above, n. 548; also from the signification of a "scorpion," as being persuasiveness infatuating and suffocating (concerning which see also above, n. 544. "Their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man" signifies, therefore, that the darkening and drawing away from seeing truth is caused by the persuasion with which the mind is infatuated. Of the persuasiveness that infatuates and as it were suffocates, of what quality it is and whence it is, has been told above n. 544. This persuasiveness is said to be infatuating, because it takes away the use of reason, even to the extent that the reason or the rational mind sees nothing except that which is said by the one who has this persuasiveness; for it at once calls up everything that agrees, and obscures everything that disagrees; and in consequence the mind is infatuated by being darkened and drawn away from seeing the truth. This persuasiveness is said to be suffocating because it deprives the understanding of the faculty to think freely and to extend its sight in every direction, as every rational man does, and when this is the case breathing becomes difficult; for everything of voluntary breathing is derived from the understanding, and consequently it adapts itself to the thought of the understanding, just as everything of the motion of the heart is derived from the will, and adapts itself to the affection of the will. That the breathing of the lungs corresponds to the understanding and its thought, and the motion of the heart to the will and its affection, may be seen in the Arcana Coelestia 1119, 3883-3896, 9281). That a strong persuasiveness has not only the power of infatuating but also of suffocating has been given me to know by real experience.

Leviticus 22

Studie

   

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2 "Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am Yahweh.

3 "Tell them, 'If anyone of all your seed throughout your generations approaches the holy things, which the children of Israel make holy to Yahweh, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am Yahweh.

4 "'Whoever of the seed of Aaron is a leper or has an issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goes from him;

5 or whoever touches any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has;

6 the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his body in water.

7 When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.

8 That which dies of itself, or is torn by animals, he shall not eat, defiling himself by it. I am Yahweh.

9 "'They shall therefore follow my requirements, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it. I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.

10 "'No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a foreigner living with the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.

11 But if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of his bread.

12 If a priest's daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.

13 But if a priest's daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father's house, as in her youth, she may eat of her father's bread: but no stranger shall eat any of it.

14 "'If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.

15 The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to Yahweh,

16 and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt, when they eat their holy things: for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.'"

17 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

18 "Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, 'Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their freewill offerings, which they offer to Yahweh for a burnt offering;

19 that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without blemish, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.

20 But whatever has a blemish, that you shall not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.

21 Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh to accomplish a vow, or for a freewill offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; no blemish shall be therein.

22 Blind, injured, maimed, having a wart, festering, or having a running sore, you shall not offer these to Yahweh, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to Yahweh.

23 Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.

24 That which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut, you shall not offer to Yahweh; neither shall you do thus in your land.

25 Neither shall you offer the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner of any of these; because their corruption is in them. There is a blemish in them. They shall not be accepted for you.'"

26 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

27 "When a bull, or a sheep, or a goat, is born, then it shall remain seven days with its mother; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

28 Whether it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.

29 "When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Yahweh, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.

30 It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am Yahweh.

31 "Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am Yahweh.

32 You shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy among the children of Israel. I am Yahweh who makes you holy,

33 who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am Yahweh."
