Exodo 29:20

Studie

       

20 Saka mo papatayin ang tupa, at kukunin mo ang dugo, at ilalagay mo sa pingol ng kanang tainga ni Aaron, at sa pingol ng kanang tainga ng kaniyang mga anak, at sa hinlalaki ng kanilang kanang kamay, at sa hinlalaki ng kanilang kanang paa, at iwiwisik mo ang dugong labis sa ibabaw ng dambana sa palibot.

Fat

  

To be fat and flourishing, as in Psalm 92:15, signifies to be in the goods and in the truths of doctrine. Fat and blood signify interior goods and truths, and hence the Israelites, prior to the Lord's incarnation, were prohibited from eating thereof, because they were only in externals.

Fat signifies celestial life, and blood signifies celestial spiritual life, in Leviticus 3:16.

Fat is predicated of good, and plenteous, of truths, as in Isaiah 30:23.

Fat things, full of marrow, signify goodnesses. Fat and splendid things, as in Revelation 18:15, signify affections of celestial and spiritual goods and truths.

In the opposite sense, in Deuteronomy 32:15, fatness signifies people who are nauseated by good, and despise and reject it because of its abundance. (Apocalypse Revealed 782)

350. Verse 4 And Abel brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat; and Jehovah had respect for Abel and his gift.

Here, as previously, 'Abel' means charity. 'The firstborn of the flock' means the holy which is the Lord's alone. 'Fat' means the celestial itself, which also is the Lord's. 'Jehovah had respect for Abel and his gift' means that things constituting charity, and all worship deriving from it, were acceptable to the Lord.
