Levitico 21

Studie

   

1 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Salitain mo sa mga saserdote na mga anak ni Aaron, at sabihin mo sa kanila, Sinoman ay huwag magpakahawa ng dahil sa patay, sa gitna ng kaniyang bayan,

2 Maliban sa kamaganak na malapit, sa kaniyang ina at sa kaniyang ama at sa kaniyang anak na lalake at babae, at sa kaniyang kapatid na lalake,

3 At sa kaniyang kapatid na dalaga, na malapit sa kaniya, na walang asawa, ay maaring magpakahawa siya.

4 Yamang puno sa kaniyang bayan, ay huwag siyang magpapakahawa na magpapakarumi.

5 Huwag nilang kakalbuhin ang kanilang ulo, o gugupitin man ang dulo ng kanilang balbas, o kukudlitan man ang kanilang laman.

6 Sila'y magpakabanal sa kanilang Dios, at huwag nilang lalapastanganin ang pangalan ng kanilang Dios: sapagka't sila ang naghahandog ng mga handog sa Panginoon na pinaraan sa apoy, na tinapay ng kanilang Dios, kaya't sila'y magpapakabanal.

7 Huwag silang makikisama sa patutot o lapastangan, ni makikisama sa babaing inihiwalay ng kaniyang asawa: sapagka't ang saserdote ay banal sa kaniyang Dios.

8 Papagbabanalin mo nga siya; sapagka't siya ang naghahandog ng tinapay ng inyong Dios: siya'y magiging banal sa inyo; sapagka't akong Panginoon nagpapaging banal sa inyo ay banal.

9 At kung ang anak na babae ng isang saserdote ay magpakarumi sa pagpapatutot, ay kaniyang binigyan ng kahihiyan ang kaniyang ama: siya'y susunugin sa apoy.

10 At ang pangulong saserdote sa kanilang magkakapatid, na binuhusan ang ulo ng langis na pang-pahid, at itinalaga, upang makapagbihis ng mga banal na bihisan ay huwag maglulugay ng buhok ng kaniyang ulo ni huwag hahapakin ang kaniyang mga suot;

11 Ni papasok sa kinaroroonan ng bangkay nino man, ni magpapakahawa dahil sa kaniyang ama, o dahil sa kaniyang ina;

12 Ni lalabas sa santuario, ni lalapastanganin ang santuario ng kaniyang Dios; sapagka't ang talaga na langis na pang-pahid ng kaniyang Dios ay nasa ulo niya: ako ang Panginoon.

13 At siya'y magaasawa sa isang dalagang malinis.

14 Sa bao o inihiwalay, sa lamas o patutot ay huwag siyang magaasawa; kundi sa isang dalagang malinis sa kaniyang sariling bayan magaasawa siya.

15 At huwag niyang dudumhan ang kaniyang mga binhi sa gitna ng kaniyang bayan: sapagka't ako ang Panginoon na nagpapaging banal sa kaniya.

16 At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, na sinasabi,

17 Iyong salitain kay Aaron, na iyong sasabihin, Sinoman sa iyong mga binhi, sa buong panahon ng kaniyang lahi, na magkaroon ng anomang kapintasan, ay huwag lumapit na maghandog ng tinapay ng kaniyang Dios.

18 Sapagka't sinomang magkaroon ng kapintasan ay huwag lalapit; maging ang taong bulag, o pilay, o magkaroon ng ilong na ungod, o ang mayroong kuntil,

19 O ang taong magkaroon ng paang bali o kamay na bali,

20 O taong kuba, o unano, o magkaroon ng kapintasan sa kaniyang mata, o galisin, o langibin, o luslusin:

21 Walang tao sa binhi ni Aaron na saserdote, na magkaroon ng kapintasan, na lalapit upang magharap ng mga handog sa Panginoon na pinaraan sa apoy: siya'y may kapintasan; siya'y huwag lalapit na magharap ng tinapay ng kaniyang Dios.

22 Kaniyang kakanin ang tinapay ng kaniyang Dios, ang pinakabanal at ang mga bagay na banal:

23 Hindi lamang siya papasok sa loob ng tabing, o lalapit man sa dambana, sapagka't may kapintasan siya; upang huwag niyang lapastanganin ang aking mga santuario: sapagka't ako ang Panginoon na nagpapaging banal sa kanila.

24 Gayon sinalita ni Moises kay Aaron at sa kaniyang mga anak, at sa lahat ng mga anak ni Israel.

6119. 'And why should we die near by you because the silver is lacking?' means that otherwise spiritual death takes place because of the lack of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'dying' as spiritual death, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'the silver lacking' as a lack of truth - 'silver' being factual knowledge that holds truth in it and is appropriate, see 6112. What is implied by the notion that spiritual death takes place when there is a lack of truth is that spiritual life consists in deeds carried out in accordance with truths, consequently in useful services. For people endowed with spiritual life possess a yearning and desire for truths with life in view - that is, their end in view is to lead a life according to those truths - thus with useful services in view. Therefore the extent to which they can absorb truths, in accordance with which useful services are to be rendered, determines how much spiritual life they possess, because it determines how much of the light of intelligence and wisdom they possess. When truths are lacking therefore, as happens when a state of shade arrives - a state meant in the Word by 'evening', 6110 - spiritual life languishes. It languishes because things such as belong to the state of shade, that is, to spiritual death, enter in. When this happens people cannot be kept in the light in which they were before but are returned in part to a state of selfhood. As a consequence there emerges from the shade an image of spiritual death, that is, of damnation.

[2] It is clear from very many places in the Word that 'death' means spiritual death, or damnation; but let simply the following be quoted here: In Isaiah,

With righteousness He will judge the poor, and will reprove with uprightness the wretched of the earth. On the other hand He will smite the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath 1 of His lips He will make the wicked die. Isaiah 11:4.

This refers to the Lord. 'The rod of His mouth' and 'the breath of His lips stand for Divine Truth, the source of judgement. 'Dying' stands for suffering damnation. In the same prophet, He Will swallow up death for ever, and the Lord Jehovih will wipe away tears from upon all faces. Isaiah 15:8.

In the same prophet,

The dead will not live, the Rephaim will not rise. To that end You have visited them, You have wiped them out. Isaiah 16:14.

In the same prophet,

Your dead will live, my corpse will rise again. Isaiah 26:19.

In the same prophet,

You have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell we have shaped a vision. Your covenant with death will be annulled, and your vision with hell will not stand. Isaiah 28:15, 18.

[3] In Jeremiah,

You look for light, but He will turn it into the shadow of death, He will place it in thick darkness. Jeremiah 13:16.

In Ezekiel,

You have desecrated Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for crusts of bread, to slay souls that ought not to die and to bestow life on souls that ought not to live. Ezekiel 13:19, 22.

In Hosea,

Out of the hand of hell I will redeem them, from death I will deliver them. I will be your plagues, O death; I will be your destruction, O hell! Hosea 13:14.

In David,

You lift me up from the gates of death. Psalms 9:13.

In the same author,

Lighten my eyes, lest perhaps I sleep [the sleep of] death. Psalms 13:3.

In the same author,

The cords of death encompassed me, and the cords of hell. Psalms 18:4-5.

In the same author,

Like sheep they will be placed in hell, death will feed them. Psalms 49:14.

In John,

I have the keys of hell and of death. Revelation 1:18.

In the same book,

He who overcomes will not suffer harm in the second death. Revelation 1:11.

[4] In the same book,

I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive; but you are dead. Be watchful, and strengthen what remains, which is at the point of death. Revelation 3:1-2.

In Matthew,

The people sitting in darkness have seen a great light; and for those sitting in the region and shadow of death, the light has arisen. Matthew 4:16.

In John,

He who hears My word and believes Him who sent Me will have eternal life, and will not come into judgement, but has passed from death to life. John 5:24.

In the same gospel,

I am going away and you will seek Me, but you will die in your sin. I have said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am, you will die in your sins. If anyone keeps My word he will not ever see death. John 8:21, 14, 51-52.

Because 'death' meant damnation those who belonged to the representative Church were forbidden to touch the dead. If they did touch them they were unclean and had to be cleansed, Ezekiel 44:25; Leviticus 15:31; 21:2-3; 22:8; Numbers 6:6-12; 19:11-end.
