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.

Apocalypse Explained # 816

/ 1232  
  

816. And he had two horns like a lamb, signifies a power as if from the Lord, of persuading that there is a conjunction with the Word of faith separate. This is evident from the signification of "horns," as being power (See above, n. 316, 776); also from the signification of "two," as being conjunction (See above, n. 532 at the end); also from the signification of a "lamb," as being the Lord in relation to the Divine Human (See also above, n. 314; therefore "to have two horns like a lamb" signifies a power as if from the Lord of persuading that there is a conjunction with the Word of faith separate, as can be seen from what precedes and from what follows; from what precedes, in that "the beast coming up out of the earth" signifies confirmations from the sense of the letter of the Word in favor of faith separate from life (See just above, n. 815; and from what follows, in that it is said that this beast "spake as the dragon," and that "all the authority of the first beast he exercised before him," which signifies a similar affection, thought, doctrine, and preaching as belong to those who separate faith from the life of faith, which is charity, also the conjunction of the reasonings from the natural man, by which the religion of faith separate is strengthened, which will be treated of in the next articles. Thence it is clear that as the "horns" of this beast signify the power of persuading, "two" signifies conjunction, and "a lamb" the Lord, so "this beast having two horns like a lamb" signifies a power as if from the Lord of persuading that there is a conjunction with the Word of faith separate from life. Upon the head of this beast two horns only were seen, but upon the head of the former beast ten horns, because this beast signifies confirmations from the Word; and in the Word there is the marriage of good and truth, and this marriage is signified by "two." So, too, the horns appeared "like a lamb," because a "lamb" means the Lord, here the Lord in relation to the Word. That the Lord in respect to His Divine Human is the Word, that is, the Divine truth, is declared in the plainest terms in John:

That the Word became flesh (John 1:14).

[2] Such a power of persuading and confirming any heresy whatever from the Word is well known in the Christian world from the many heresies there, every one of which is confirmed from the sense of the letter of the Word and thus they are persuaded. The reason is that the sense of the letter of the Word is accommodated to the apprehension of the simple, and therefore consists in large part of appearances of truth; and it is the nature of appearances of truth to be capable of being adapted to confirm anything that anyone may adopt as a principle of religion and thence of doctrine, thus even when it is false. Consequently those who place genuine truth itself in the sense of the letter of the Word only, are open to many errors unless they are in enlightenment from the Lord, and in that enlightenment form doctrine for themselves that will serve them as a lamp. In the sense of the letter of the Word there are naked truths as well as truths clothed, and these latter are appearances of truth, and appearances of truth can be understood only from passages where naked truths stand out; out of these doctrine can be formed by one who is enlightened by the Lord, and according to that doctrine all other things can be explained. This is why those who read the Word without doctrine are led into manifold errors. The Word was so written in order that there might be a conjunction of heaven with man; and there is a conjunction because every expression in the Word, and in some passages every letter, contains a spiritual sense, in which the angels are; consequently when man perceives the Word according to its appearances of truth the angels that are about man understand it spiritually. Thus the spiritual of heaven is conjoined with the natural of the world in respect to such things as contribute to man's life after death. If the Word had been written otherwise no conjunction of heaven with man would have been possible.

[3] And because the Word in the letter is such it serves as it were as a support for heaven; for all the wisdom of the angels of heaven in respect to things pertaining to the church terminates in the sense of the letter of the Word as in its basis; consequently the Word in the letter may be called the support of heaven. For this reason the sense of the letter of the Word is most holy, and is even more powerful than its spiritual sense, as has been made known to me by much experience in the spiritual world, for when spirits bring forward any passage according to the sense of the letter they immediately excite some heavenly society to conjunction with them. From this it can be seen that all things of the doctrine of the church are to be confirmed from the sense of the letter of the Word that there may be in them any sanctity and power, and moreover from those books of the Word in which there is a spiritual sense. Thence it is also evident how dangerous it is to falsify the Word even to the destruction of the Divine truth that is in its spiritual sense; for by so doing heaven is closed to man. That this is done by those who confirm by the Word the separation of faith from its life, which is good works, has been shown above.
