Leviticus 9

Studie

   

1 And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;

2 And he said to Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering, without blemish, and offer them before the LORD.

3 And to the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin-offering; and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt-offering;

4 Also a bullock and a ram for peace-offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD; and a meat-offering mingled with oil: for to-day the LORD will appear to you.

5 And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation: and all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD.

6 And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commanded that ye should do: and the glory of the LORD shall appear to you.

7 And Moses said to Aaron, Go to the altar, and offer thy sin-offering, and thy burnt-offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for the people: and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them; as the LORD commanded.

8 Aaron therefore went to the altar, and slew the calf of the sin-offering, which was for himself.

9 And the sons of Aaron brought the blood to him: and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar:

10 But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver of the sin-offering, he burnt upon the altar; as the LORD commanded Moses.

11 And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp.

12 And he slew the burnt-offering; and Aaron's sons presented to him the blood, which he sprinkled around upon the altar.

13 And they presented the burnt-offering to him, with the pieces of it, and the head: and he burnt them upon the altar.

14 And he washed the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt-offering on the altar.

15 And he brought the people's offering, and took the goat, which was the sin-offering for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first.

16 And he brought the burnt-offering, and offered it according to the manner.

17 And he brought the meat-offering, and took a handful of it, and burnt it upon the altar, beside the burnt-sacrifice of the morning.

18 He slew also the bullock and the ram for a sacrifice of peace-offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron's sons presented to him the blood, which he sprinkled around upon the altar,

19 And the fat of the bullock, and of the ram, the rump, and that which covereth the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver:

20 And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar:

21 And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave-offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded.

22 And Aaron lifted up his hand towards the people, and blessed them; and came down from offering the sin-offering, and the burnt-offering, and peace-offerings.

23 And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people.

24 And there came out a fire from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt-offering and the fat: which, when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.

Draw

  
Prince Henry, by Robert Peake the Elder

Drawing" is used a number of different ways in the Bible, generally in the sense of pulling, leading or moving: People most commonly draw water, draw near to others, draw things out, draw swords and draw breath, among others. These all have separate meanings, though they are all active and involve a desire for something spiritual. To draw near to someone represents a communication between different spiritual levels, usually bringing our externals – our day-to-actions and the thoughts and feelings connected to them – into communication with our internals, or the deeper principles and motivations that drive us. To draw water represents a state of learning and instruction, which makes sense because water represents truth in general, especially more basic true ideas about how to live external life. To draw things out from somewhere – which is at various times used in relation to people, animals and objects – represents a state of compulsion, in which a spiritual state or knowledge is being forced on someone. Swords represent true ideas in battle, or in the opposite sense false ideas in battle. So drawing a sword means either attacking true ideas by means of false ones, or else attacking false ideas by means of true ones. Drawing breath, finally, represents gathering in ideas of the most basic sort, ideas on how to apply the concepts we accept at face value. For instance, we might accept the concept that it's important to be polite, and from that gather in the idea that we should use the words "please" and "thank you." These are things we accept without much examination, and they are important to external life even if they have little internal importance.
