Levítico 7

Studie

   

1 Asimismo ésta será la ley de la expiación de la culpa; será cosa santísima.

2 En el lugar donde degollaren el holocausto, degollarán la expiación de la culpa; y rociará su sangre en derredor sobre el altar.

3 Y de ella ofrecerá todo su sebo, la cola, y el sebo que cubre los intestinos.

4 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.

5 Y el sacerdote hará de ello perfume sobre el altar en ofrenda encendida al SEÑOR; y ésta será expiación de la culpa.

6 Todo varón de entre los sacerdotes la comerá; será comida en el lugar santo; porque es cosa santísima.

7 Como la expiación por el pecado, así será la expiación de la culpa; una misma ley tendrán; será del sacerdote que habrá hecho la reconciliación con ella.

8 Y el sacerdote que ofreciere holocausto de alguno, el cuero del holocausto que ofreciere, será del sacerdote.

9 Asimismo todo presente que se cociere en horno, y todo el que fuere aderezado en sartén, o en cazuela, será del sacerdote que lo ofreciere.

10 Y todo presente amasado con aceite, y seco, será de todos los hijos de Aarón, tanto al uno como al otro.

11 Y ésta será la ley del sacrificio de la paz, que se ofrecerá al SEÑOR:

12 Si se ofreciere en hacimiento de gracias, ofrecerá por sacrificio de hacimiento de gracias tortas sin levadura amasadas con aceite, y hojaldres sin levadura untadas con aceite, y flor de harina frita en tortas amasadas con aceite.

13 Con tortas de pan leudo ofrecerá su ofrenda en el sacrificio de hacimiento de gracias de sus paz.

14 Y de toda la ofrenda presentará una parte por ofrenda elevada al SEÑOR, y será del sacerdote que rociare la sangre de los sacrificios de paz.

15 Mas la carne de su sacrificio de la paz para hacimiento de gracias, se comerá en el día que fuere ofrecida; no dejarán de ella nada para otro día.

16 Mas si el sacrificio de su ofrenda fuere voto, o voluntario, el día que ofreciere su sacrificio será comido; y lo que de él quedare, se comerá al día siguiente;

17 y lo que quedare para el tercer día de la carne del sacrificio, será quemado en el fuego.

18 Y si se comiere de la carne de su sacrificio de paz el tercer día, el que lo ofreciere no será acepto, ni le será imputado; abominación será, y la persona que de él comiere llevará su pecado.

19 Y la carne que tocare alguna cosa inmunda, no se comerá; al fuego será quemada; mas toda persona limpia comerá de esta carne.

20 Y la persona que comiere la carne del sacrificio de paz, el cual es del SEÑOR, estando inmunda, aquella persona será cortada de su pueblo.

21 Además, la persona que tocare alguna cosa inmunda, en inmundicia de hombre, o en animal inmundo, o en cualquiera abominación inmunda, y comiere de la carne del sacrificio de la paz, el cual es del SEÑOR, aquella persona será cortada de su pueblo.

22 Habló aún el SEÑOR a Moisés, diciendo:

23 Habla a los hijos de Israel, diciendo: Ningún sebo de buey, ni de cordero, ni de cabra, comeréis.

24 El sebo de animal mortecino, y el sebo del que fue arrebatado de fieras , se aparejará para cualquiera otro uso, mas no lo comeréis.

25 Porque cualquiera que comiere sebo de animal, del cual se ofrece al SEÑOR ofrenda encendida, la persona que lo comiere, será cortada de su pueblo.

26 Además, ninguna sangre comeréis en todas vuestras habitaciones, así de aves como de bestias.

27 Cualquiera persona que comiere alguna sangre, la tal persona será cortada de su pueblo.

28 Habló más el SEÑOR a Moisés, diciendo:

29 Habla a los hijos de Israel, diciendo: El que ofreciere su sacrificio de paz al SEÑOR, traerá su ofrenda del sacrificio de su paz al SEÑOR;

30 sus manos traerán las ofrendas que se han de quemar al SEÑOR; traerá el sebo con el pecho; el pecho para mecerlo, como sacrificio de mecedura delante del SEÑOR;

31 y del sebo hará perfume el sacerdote en el altar, mas el pecho será de Aarón y de sus hijos.

32 Y daréis al sacerdote para ser elevada en ofrenda, la espaldilla derecha de los sacrificios de vuestra paz.

33 El que de los hijos de Aarón ofreciere la sangre de la paz, y el sebo, de él será en porción la espaldilla derecha;

34 porque he tomado de los hijos de Israel, de sus sacrificios de paz, el pecho de la mecedura, y la espaldilla de la apartadura, y lo he dado a Aarón el sacerdote y a sus hijos, por estatuto perpetuo de los hijos de Israel.

35 Esta es la unción de Aarón y la unción de sus hijos, de las ofrendas encendidas al SEÑOR, desde el día en que él los allegó para ser sacerdotes del SEÑOR;

36 las cuales porciones mandó El SEÑOR que les diesen, desde el día en que él los ungió de entre los hijos de Israel, por estatuto perpetuo por sus generaciones.

37 Esta es la ley del holocausto, del presente, de la expiación por el pecado, y de la expiación de la culpa, y de las consagraciones, y del sacrificio de la paz;

38 la cual mandó el SEÑOR a Moisés, en el monte de Sinaí, el día que mandó a los hijos de Israel que ofreciesen sus ofrendas al SEÑOR en el desierto de Sinaí.

1159. And all things fat and splendid have departed from thee.- That this signifies that all goods and truths, and things auspicious and magnificent, which they have persuaded themselves, they would be able to acquire by means of that religion, are changed into the contrary, is evident from the signification of fat things, which denote goods and auspicious things therefrom, of which we shall speak presently; and from the signification of things splendid, which denote truths and things magnificent therefrom. The reason why this is the signification of things splendid, is, that splendour is the result of light, and the light of heaven is Divine Truth or Divine Wisdom, which is the cause of all things in the heavens shining with a splendour unknown in the world. It may be compared with the brilliancy of a diamond turned to the sun, but the splendour seen in heaven far exceeds this, just as the light of heaven exceeds the light of the world, the difference between which is so great, that while it may be illustrated by comparisons, yet it cannot be described. All the magnificent things of heaven, exist from that light, and these chiefly consist of forms corresponding to wisdom, which are such that in the world they can neither be pictured nor described. For in them art itself is in its art, and science is in its wisdom, consequently they are of ineffable beauty. It is evident from these facts why things splendid signify truths and thence things magnificent.

[2] The reason why fat things signify goods and auspicious things therefrom, is, that the fat is the best part of flesh, and that it is like oil, which signifies the good of love. That fatness signifies good and those things that belong to it, thus happiness and joys, is clear from the following passages in the Word.

In Isaiah:

"Attending attend unto me, eat ye good, that your soul may be delighted in fatness" (55:2).

To eat good signifies to appropriate good to themselves; thence by delighting in fatness is signified to be in a state of happiness and blessedness.

In Jeremiah:

"I will fill the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with good" (31:14).

Here also fatness signifies happiness and blessing from the good of love.

In David:

"My soul shall be satisfied with fat and fatness, and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips" (Psalm 63:5).

The soul being satisfied with fat and fatness, signifies to be filled with the good of love and with joy therefrom. To praise with joyful lips signifies to worship by means of truths which gladden the mind.

Again:

"Thy houses shall be filled with fatness, and thou shalt cause them to drink of the stream of delights" (Psalm 36:8).

The fatness with which the houses shall be filled, signifies the good of love, and happiness therefrom, houses denoting things pertaining to the mind. The river of the delights, of which they shall drink, signifies intelligence and happiness therefrom.

[3] In Isaiah:

"In this mountain shall Jehovah Zebaoth make to all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wine on the lees, of fat things full of marrow and of wine on the lees well refined" (25:6).

These things are said concerning the state of those who would acknowledge and adore the Lord. By that mountain is signified a new church from them; by the feast of fat things, of fat things full of marrow, is signified good both natural and spiritual with joy of heart; and by the lees, lees well refined, are signified truths from that good with the happiness therefrom.

In the same prophet:

"Jehovah shall give the rain of thy seed, with which thou shalt sow the earth, and bread of the produce of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous" (30:23).

The rain of seed signifies the multiplication of truth; and bread of produce the fructification of good. By fat and plenteous is signified good and truth with all its satisfaction and happiness.

In David:

"As yet they shall have increase in old age, they shall be fat and green, to show that Jehovah is right" (Psalm 92:14, 15).

To be fat and green signifies to be in goods and truths of doctrine.

Again:

"Jehovah shall remember all thy offerings and shall make fat thy burnt offering" (Psalm 20:3).

By offerings and burnt offering is signified worship, and by making it fat is signified that it is from the good of love.

The signification of fatness in Ezekiel 34:3; Genesis 27:39, and elsewhere is similar. Because fat and fatness signify the good of love, and because all worship, which is truly worship, must be from the good of love, therefore it was a law that all the fat in the sacrifices should be burnt upon the altar (Exodus 29:13, 22; Leviticus 1:8; 3:3-16; 4:8-35; 7:3, 4, 30, 31; 17:6; Numbers 18:17, 18); for the sacrifices and burnt offerings signified worship.

[4] Since the Jews and Israelites were only in external worship, and not at the same time in internal worship, and not therefore in any good of love, or in any good of charity and faith, they were therefore prohibited from eating fat and blood, and it was a law that if they ate these, they should be cut off (Leviticus 3:17; 7:23, 25). But to those who are in internal worship, and thence in external worship - as those will be who shall belong to the Lord's New Church - it is said, that they shall eat fat to fulness, and drink blood to drunkenness (ebrietas) (Ezekiel 39:19). Fat there signifies all the good of heaven and of the church, and blood all the truth of these. In the opposite sense the fat ones signify those who loathe good and who utterly despise and reject it (Deuteronomy 32:15; Jeremiah 5:28; 50:11; Psalm 17:10; 20:4; 68:31; 119:70; and elsewhere).

[5] Continuation.- Such, however, is not the lot of those who are continually evil, for these are in hell according to the loves of their life. There they think, and from their thought, speak, although they utter falsities; they also will, and, from their will they act, although their actions are evil. They appear, moreover to one another as men, although in the light of heaven they are of a monstrous form. It is therefore evident, why it is in accordance with a law of order relating to reformation, and called a law of Divine Providence, that a man is admitted into the truths of faith and the goods of love, only so far as he can be withheld from evils and kept in goods to the end of his life and that it is better that he should be always evil, than that he should be good and afterwards evil; for in this case he becomes profane. The Lord, who both provides and foresees all things, for this reason conceals the operations of His Providence, and to such a degree that man scarcely knows whether there is any providence at all. He permits him rather to attribute ordinary events to prudence, and contingencies to fortune, and even to ascribe many things to nature, rather than that, through any striking and manifest signs of the Divine Providence and Presence, he should plunge unreasonably into the midst of holy things in which he would not remain. The Lord also permits similar things in accordance with other laws of His Providence, namely, that man should enjoy freedom, and that in all that he does he should act according to reason, thus entirely as if from himself. For it is better that he should ascribe the operations of the Divine Providence to prudence and fortune, than that he should acknowledge them, and still live as a devil. From these facts it is evident that the laws of permission, which are numerous, proceed from the laws of Providence.
