Levítico 3

Studie

   

1 Y si su ofrenda fuere sacrificio de paz, si hubiere de ofrecerlo de ganado vacuno, sea macho o hembra, sin defecto lo ofrecerá delante del SEÑOR.

2 Y pondrá su mano sobre la cabeza de su ofrenda, y la degollará a la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio; y los sacerdotes, hijos de Aarón, rociarán su sangre sobre el altar en derredor.

3 Luego ofrecerá del sacrificio de la paz, por ofrenda encendida al SEÑOR, el sebo que cubre los intestinos, y todo el sebo que está sobre las entrañas,

4 y los dos riñones, y el sebo que está sobre ellos, y sobre los ijares, y con los riñones quitará el redaño que está sobre el hígado.

5 Y los hijos de Aarón harán de ello perfume sobre el altar, con el holocausto que estará sobre la leña que está encima del fuego; y esto será ofrenda de olor muy aceptable al SEÑOR.

6 Mas si de ovejas fuere su ofrenda para sacrificio de paz al SEÑOR, sea macho o hembra, la ofrecerá sin tacha.

7 Si ofreciere cordero por su ofrenda, lo ofrecerá delante del SEÑOR;

8 y pondrá su mano sobre la cabeza de su ofrenda, y después la degollará delante del tabernáculo del testimonio; y los hijos de Aarón rociarán su sangre sobre el altar en derredor.

9 Y del sacrificio de la paz ofrecerá por ofrenda encendida al SEÑOR, su sebo, y la cola entera, la cual quitará a raíz del espinazo, y el sebo que cubre los intestinos, y todo el sebo que está sobre las entrañas;

10 asimismo los dos riñones, y el sebo que está sobre ellos, y el que está sobre los ijares, y con los riñones quitará el redaño de sobre el hígado.

11 Y el sacerdote hará de ello perfume sobre el altar; y esto será vianda de ofrenda encendida al SEÑOR.

12 Y si fuere cabra su ofrenda la ofrecerá delante del SEÑOR;

13 y pondrá su mano sobre la cabeza de ella, y la degollará delante del tabernáculo del testimonio; y los hijos de Aarón rociarán su sangre sobre el altar en derredor.

14 Después ofrecerá de ella su ofrenda, por ofrenda encendida al SEÑOR, el sebo que cubre los intestinos, y todo el sebo que está sobre las entrañas,

15 y los dos riñones, y el sebo que está sobre ellos, y el que está sobre los ijares, y con los riñones quitará el redaño de sobre el hígado.

16 Y el sacerdote hará perfume de ello sobre el altar; y esto será vianda de ofrenda encendida de olor muy aceptable al SEÑOR. Todo el sebo es del SEÑOR.

17 Estatuto perpetuo por vuestras edades; en todas vuestras moradas, ningún sebo ni ninguna sangre comeréis.

8680. 'And Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God' means worship springing from the good of love and the truths of faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'a burnt offering and sacrifices' as representatives of celestial and spiritual realities that belong to internal worship, 'burnt offerings' being representative of celestial realities, that is, aspects of the good of love, and 'sacrifices' being representative of spiritual ones, that is, aspects of the truth of faith, dealt with in 922, 923, 1823, 2180, 2805, 2807, 2830, 3218, 3519, 6905. The representation of 'burnt offerings' as aspects of the good of love, and of 'sacrifices' as aspects of the truth of faith, is clear from their institution - from the requirement that in burnt offerings everything was to be burnt, both the flesh and the blood, but that in sacrifices the flesh was to be eaten, as may be seen in chapters 1-5 of Leviticus; Numbers 28; and in Deuteronomy, where the following words occur,

You are to present, your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, on the altar of Jehovah your God; the blood of the sacrifices shall be poured out on the altar of Jehovah your God, and the flesh you shall eat. Deuteronomy 12:27.

The reason why those two realities were represented by the burnt offerings and sacrifices is that burnt offerings and sacrifices represented all worship of God in general, 923, 6905; and worship of God in general is founded on love and faith. Without these it is not worship, only ritual such as is performed by the external man who has no internal and so no life within him.

Leviticus 1

Studie

1 Yahweh called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the Tent of Meeting, saying,

2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When anyone of you offers an offering to Yahweh, you shall offer your offering of the livestock, from the herd and from the flock.

3 "'If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish. He shall offer it at the door of the Tent of Meeting, that he may be accepted before Yahweh.

4 He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.

5 He shall kill the bull before Yahweh. Aaron's sons, the priests, shall present the blood and sprinkle the blood around on the altar that is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

6 He shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into pieces.

7 The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay wood in order on the fire;

8 and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar;

9 but its innards and its legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

10 "'If his offering is from the flock, from the sheep, or from the goats, for a burnt offering, he shall offer a male without blemish.

11 He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before Yahweh. Aaron's sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar.

12 He shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat. The priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar,

13 but the innards and the legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall offer the whole, and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

14 "'If his offering to Yahweh is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall offer his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.

15 The priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar;

16 and he shall take away its crop with its filth, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place of the ashes.

17 He shall tear it by its wings, but shall not divide it apart. The priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
