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.

Apocalypse Explained # 79

79. And he laid his right hand upon me. That this signifies life from Him, is evident from the signification of right hand, when said of the Lord, as being life from Him (concerning this see above, n. 72). The reason why this signifies life from the Lord, is, that it follows immediately after the words, "I fell at his feet as dead." And, moreover, by touching with the hand, is signified to communicate and transfer to another that which belongs to oneself, and also to receive from another and to communicate and transfer to another what belongs to oneself, when said of the Lord, as in this passage, denotes life, such as is communicated to those who are in a state of enlightenment, and see and hear such things as are in heaven. This also was the case with John; for he was in such a state of enlightenment when he saw and heard the things described in the Apocalypse.

[2] The reason why to touch with the hand denotes to communicate, and to transfer to another, is, because all the power of man is transferred from the body into the hands; therefore, what the mind wills that the body should do, the arms and hands perform accordingly. Hence it is that by arms and hands in the Word is signified power (as may be seen, Arcana Coelestia 878, 3091, 4931-4937. 7673, 10019); this power, however, is natural power, and communication thereby is the exertion of the forces of the body; but spiritual power is to will the good of another, and, as much as possible, to be willing to transfer to another what belongs to oneself. This power is signified by hand in the spiritual sense, and its communication and translation by touching with the hand.

From these considerations it is evident that, by the Lord, who is there called the Son of man, laying His right hand upon John, when he lay as dead, is signified, that He communicated and transferred to him life from Himself (concerning which, see above).

[3] To touch, and to touch with the hand, has a similar signification in many passages in the Word, as in the following. In Daniel:

The Lord, who there appeared to him as a man clothed in linen, whose aspect was as the appearance of lightning, and His eyes as torches of fire, and His feet as the brightness of polished brass, touched him; restored him to his station; set him upon his knees; touched his lips, and opened his mouth; and again touched him, and strengthened him (10:4 to the end).

In Jeremiah:

"Jehovah put forth his hand and touched my mouth, and said, I give my words into thy mouth" (1:9).

And in Matthew:

Jesus put forth His and to the leper "and touched him, saying, I will, be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed" (8:3).

In the same:

Jesus saw Peter's wife's mother sick of a fever "and he touched her hand, and the fever left her" (8:14, 15).

In the same:

Jesus touched the eyes of two blind men and their eyes were opened (9:29).

In the same:

"While Peter was speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed the disciples, and behold a voice out of the cloud which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. And when the disciples heard it, they fell upon their face, and were sore afraid. Then Jesus came near and touched them, and said, Arise, be not afraid" (17:5-7).

In Luke:

Jesus came and touched the bier of the dead man, and said, "Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. Then he that was dead sat up, and began to speak" (7:14, 15).

In the same:

Jesus touched the ear of the deaf man, and healed him (22:51).

In Mark:

"They brought young children to him, that he should touch them. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them" (10:13, 16).

In the same:

They brought unto Jesus those that were sick "that they might touch the hem of his garment; and as many as touched were made whole" (Matthew 14:35, 36).

In Luke:

"A woman having an issue of blood, touched the border of Jesus' garment; and immediately her issue of blood stanched. Jesus said, Some one hath touched me, for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me" (8:43, 44, 46).

[4] Because by the touching and laying on of hands, is signified to communicate and transfer to another what is one's own, therefore from ancient times it has been customary in the churches to lay hands upon the heads of those who were inaugurated and blessed, as Moses was commanded to do in the case of Joshua (Numbers 27:18-23; Deuteronomy 34:9). Since all things among the sons of Israel were representative and significative of spiritual things, so also was the touch; therefore those were sanctified who touched what was holy, and those were polluted who touched what was unclean, for the touch signified communication and transference from one to another, and reception from one by another; as is evident from the following passages in Moses: whosoever shall touch the tent of the assembly, the ark of the testimony, the table and all its vessels, the lampstand and its vessels, the altar of incense, the altar of burnt offering and all its vessels, and the laver and its foot, shall be holy (Exodus 30:26-29). Whatsoever touched the altar should be holy (Exodus 29:37). Every thing which touched the remainder of the meat-offering, and the remainder of the flesh from the sacrifices, should be holy (Leviticus 6:11-20).

"Whosoever touched a dead body, and purified not himself, defiled the tabernacle of Jehovah; therefore that soul should be cut off from Israel. Whosoever touched one that was slain with a sword in the open fields, or a bone of a man, or a grave, should be unclean seven days. He that toucheth the waters of separation, shall be unclean until even. Whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean until even" (Numbers 19:11, 13, 16, 21, 22).

He who toucheth unclean beasts, and unclean creeping things, shall be unclean; everything upon which they shall fall shall be unclean, whether a vessel of wood, raiment, water, an earthen vessel, food, drink, an oven, except a fountain, pit, a receptacle of waters, shall be unclean (Leviticus 11:31-36). Besides other places, as Leviticus 5:2, 3; 7:21; 11:37, 38; 15:1 to the end; 22:4; Numbers 16:26; Isaiah 52:11; Lamentations 4:14, 15; Hosea 4:2, 3; Haggai 2:12, 13, 14.
