Levitico 9

Studie

   

1 At nangyari sa ikawalong araw, na tinawag ni Moises si Aaron at ang kaniyang mga anak, at ang mga matanda sa Israel;

2 At sinabi niya kay Aaron, Magdala ka ng isang guyang toro, na handog dahil sa kasalanan at isang tupang lalake na handog na susunugin, na kapuwa walang kapintasan, at ihandog mo sa harap ng Panginoon.

3 At sa mga anak ni Israel ay sasalitain mo, na sasabihin, Kumuha kayo ng isang kambing na lalake na handog dahil sa kasalanan; at ng isang guyang baka, at ng isang kordero, na kapuwa na may gulang na isang taon, at walang kapintasan, na handog na susunugin;

4 At ng isang toro at ng isang tupang lalake na mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan, upang ihain sa harap ng Panginoon, at ng isang handog na harina na hinaluan ng langis: sapagka't napakikita sa inyo ngayon ang Panginoon.

5 At kanilang dinala sa harap ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan ang iniutos ni Moises: at lumapit doon ang buong kapisanan, at tumayo sa harap ng Panginoon.

6 At sinabi ni Moises, Ito ang iniutos ng Panginoon na gawin ninyo: at lilitaw sa inyo ang kaluwalhatian ng Panginoon.

7 At sinabi ni Moises kay Aaron, Lumapit ka sa dambana, at ihandog mo ang iyong handog dahil sa kasalanan, at ang iyong handog na susunugin, at itubos mo sa iyong sarili at sa bayan: at ihandog mo ang alay ng bayan, at itubos mo sa kanila; gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon.

8 Lumapit nga si Aaron sa dambana at pinatay ang guyang handog dahil sa kasalanan, na yao'y para sa kaniya.

9 At iniharap ng mga anak ni Aaron sa kaniya ang dugo: at itinubog niya ang kaniyang daliri sa dugo, at ipinahid sa ibabaw ng mga anyong sungay ng dambana at ang dugong labis ay ibinuhos sa tungtungan ng dambana:

10 Datapuwa't ang taba at ang mga bato, at ang lamad na nasa atay ng handog dahil sa kasalanan, ay sinunog niya sa ibabaw ng dambana; gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises.

11 At ang laman at ang balat ay sinunog niya sa apoy sa labas ng kampamento.

12 At pinatay niya ang handog na susunugin; at ibinigay sa kaniya ng mga anak ni Aaron ang dugo, at kaniyang iniwisik sa ibabaw ng palibot ng dambana.

13 At kaniyang ibinigay sa kaniya ang handog na susunugin, na isaisang putol, at ang ulo: at sinunog niya sa ibabaw ng dambana.

14 At kaniyang hinugasan ang lamang loob at ang mga paa at sinunog sa ibabaw ng handog na susunugin sa ibabaw ng dambana.

15 At iniharap niya ang alay ng bayan; at kinuha ang kambing na handog dahil sa kasalanan na para sa bayan, at pinatay at inihandog dahil sa kasalanan, na gaya ng una.

16 At iniharap niya ang handog na susunugin, at inihandog ayon sa palatuntunan.

17 At iniharap niya ang handog na harina, at kumuha ng isang dakot, at sinunog sa ibabaw ng dambana, bukod sa handog na susunugin sa umaga.

18 Kaniyang pinatay rin ang toro at ang tupang lalake na haing mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan, na para sa bayan: at ibinigay ng mga anak ni Aaron sa kaniya ang dugo, at kaniyang iniwisik sa ibabaw ng dambana hanggang sa palibot.

19 At ang taba ng toro at ng tupang lalake, ang matabang buntot at ang tabang nakatakip sa lamang loob, at ang mga bato, at ang lamad ng atay.

20 At kanilang inilagay ang mga taba sa ibabaw ng mga dibdib, at kaniyang sinunog ang taba sa ibabaw ng dambana:

21 At ang mga dibdib at ang kanang hita ay inalog ni Aaron na pinakahandog na inalog sa harap ng Panginoon; gaya ng iniutos ni Moises.

22 At itinaas ni Aaron ang kaniyang mga kamay sa dakong bayan at binasbasan niya; at bumaba siya na mula sa paghahandog ng handog dahil sa kasalanan, at ng handog na susunugin, at ng mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan.

23 At pumasok si Moises at si Aaron sa tabernakulo ng kapisanan, at sila'y lumabas, at binasbasan ang bayan: at lumitaw ang kaluwalhatian ng Panginoon sa buong bayan.

24 At may lumabas na apoy sa harap ng Panginoon, at sinunog sa ibabaw ng dambana ang handog na susunugin at ang taba: at nang makita yaon ng buong bayan, ay nagsigawan at nangagpatirapa.

Iniquity, transgression and sin

  

In the Word three terms are used to refer to bad actions: transgression, iniquity, and sin. Transgression is the least bad. It means a violation of what is true in an external context, a violation of what is right and orderly. Iniquity is next and denotes acts that violate more interior truths. Sin is the worst. It is a violation of what is holy and righteous, a violation against the Lord. Sin is the deepest kind of evil. Regarding iniquity -- to be in charity, or live a life of charity is to live a life where the acts and thoughts that have top priority are those that have within them a love for the neighbor. Sometimes our love of self, our inborn desire to put ourselves first, is stronger than our charity and we do something for ourselves at the expense of our neighbor, or even do harm to our neighbor. Such an act, if our motive is selfish, is an iniquity.

5215. 'And scorched by an east wind' means full of evil desires. This is clear from the meaning of 'being scorched by an east wind' as being consumed by the fire of evil desires. For an east wind' and the east' in the genuine sense mean love to the Lord and love towards the neighbour, lot, 1250, 3249, 3708, 3762, and therefore in the contrary sense self-love and love of the world, and so cravings and evil desires since these spring from those loves. The word 'fire' is used to refer to such desires for the reason dealt with in 5071, and therefore 'being scorched' is used also.

[2] There are two sources of heat, as there are also two sources of light, the one source of heat being the sun of this world, the other source of heat being the sun of heaven, which is the Lord. It is a well known fact that the sun of this world pours out heat into its own world and onto everything there, but it is a less well known fact that the sun of heaven pours out heat into the whole of heaven. Yet this too may become an equally well known fact if one reflects merely on the heat which exists intrinsically in the human being but which has nothing in common with the heat of the world, that is, if one reflects on what is called vital heat. From this one could know that this heat is of a different nature from the world's heat. That is to say, the former is a living heat but the latter is not at all a living one; also the former, being a living one, fires a person interiorly, namely his will and understanding, imparting to him desires and loves, and affections too. This also explains why desires, loves and affections are spiritual forms of heat, and are also called such. The fact that they are forms of heat is quite evident, for heat is radiated from all parts of the bodies of live persons, even where it is intensely cold. More than that, when desires and affections, that is, when loves, increase, the body grows correspondingly warmer. This kind of heat is what is meant in the Word by 'heat', 'fire', and 'flame'; in the genuine sense celestial and spiritual love is meant, in the contrary sense bodily and earthly love. From this it becomes clear that here 'being scorched by an east wind' means being consumed by the fire of evil desires, and that when used in reference to known facts meant by 'heads' that are 'thin', facts full of evil desires are meant.

[3] 'The east wind' means the blasts of evil desires and of derivative false notions, as is clear from places in the Word where that wind is mentioned, for example, in David,

He caused an east wind to blow 1 in the heavens, and by His power He brought forth the south wind; and He caused flesh to rain onto them like the dust, winged birds like the sand of the sea. Psalms 78:26-27.

'The flesh' which that wind brought meant cravings, and 'winged birds' resulting false notions, as is evident in Numbers 11:31-35, where it is said that the name of the place where the people were struck down for eating flesh was called 'the graves of craving, for there they buried the people who had the craving'.

[4] In Ezekiel,

Behold, the vine that was planted, will it thrive? When the east wind strikes it, will it not wither completely? It will wither on the small spaces where it began to grow. Ezekiel 17:10.

And in the same prophet,

The vine has been plucked up in anger, it has been cast down onto the ground, and the east wind has dried its fruit. They have been plucked out and have withered, each rod of its strength; fire has consumed each one. For fire has gone out from a rod of its branches and has consumed its fruit, so that there is no rod of strength in it, a sceptre for dominion. Ezekiel 19:12, 14.

Here 'the east wind' stands for the blasts of evil desires. In Isaiah,

He gave thought to His rough wind, on the day of the east wind. Isaiah 17:8.

[5] In Hosea,

An east wind will come, Jehovah's wind rising up from the desert, and his spring will become dry, and his fountain dried up. It will strip his treasury of every precious vessel. Hosea 13:15.

Here also 'an east wind' stands for blasts of evil desires. Similarly in Jeremiah,

Like an east wind I will scatter them before the enemy. Jeremiah 18:17.

[6] In David,

By means of an east wind You will shatter the ships of Tarshish. Psalms 48:7.

In Isaiah,

You have forsaken Your people, the house of Jacob, because they have been filled from the east wind, and they are diviners like the Philistines. Isaiah 2:6.

In Hosea,

Ephraim feeds the wind, and pursues the east wind. All the day long he multiplies lies and devastation. Hosea 11:1.

'The wind' here stands for false notions, and 'the east wind' for evil desires. Something similar is also meant in the internal sense by 'an east wind' by means of which 'locusts were brought forth' and by means of which 'the locusts were cast into the sea', 2 Exodus 10:13, 19, and also by means of which 'the waters of the sea Suph' were divided, Exodus 14:21.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. literally, set out

2. According to Exodus 10:19 a west wind cast the locusts into the sea.
