Левит 21

Étudier

   

1 И сказалъ Господь Моисею: объяви священникамъ сынамъ Аароновымъ, и скажи имъ: чтобы никто изъ нихъ не осквернялъ себя прикосновеніемъ къ умершему изъ народа своего.

2 Только прикосновеніемъ къ ближнему родственнику своему, къ матери своей и къ отцу своему, къ сыну своему и дочери своей, къ брату своему,

3 и къ сестрј своей дјвицј, жившей близко и не бывшей замужемъ, можно ему осквернить себя.

4 И прикосновеніемъ къ владыкј въ народј своемъ не долженъ онъ осквернять себя, такъ чтобы сдјлаться нечистымъ.

5 Они не должны выстригать голову свою, и выбривать край бороды своей, и не должны надрјзывать тјла своего.

6 Они должны быть святы у Бога своего и не должны порочить имени Бога своего; ибо они приносятъ огнепалимыя жертвы Господу, хлјбъ Богу своему, и потому должны быть святы.

7 Они не должны брать за себя блудницу и опороченную, не должны также брать жену отверженную мужемъ своимъ: ибо они святы у Бога своего.

8 Сдјлай ихъ святыми; ибо они приносятъ хлјбъ Богу твоему; да будутъ они у тебя святы: ибо Я Господь, освящающій васъ, святъ.

9 Если священническая дочь сдјлаетъ блудъ; то она порочитъ отца своего, огнемъ должно сжечь ее.

10 Великій же священникъ изъ братьевъ его, на голову котораго возлитъ елей помазанія, и которому наполнены руки, чтобъ облачаться въ священныя одежды, не долженъ обнажать голову свою и раздирать одежды свои.

11 И ни къ какому умершему не долженъ онъ приступать; даже прикосновеніемъ къ умершему отцу своему и матери своей онъ не долженъ осквернять себя.

12 И отъ святилища не долженъ отходить и не долженъ порочить святилища Бога своего; ибо діадима елея помазанія Бога его на немъ. Я Господъ.

13 Въ жену онъ долженъ брать дјвицу.

14 Вдову, или отверженную, или опороченную, блудницу, не долженъ онъ брать; но дјвицу изъ народа своего долженъ онъ брать въ жену.

15 Онъ не долженъ порочить сјмени своего въ народј своемъ; ибо Я Господь, освящающій его.

16 И говорилъ Господь Моисею, и сказалъ:

17 скажи Аарону: никто изъ сјмени твоего во всј роды ихъ, у котораго на тјлј будетъ порокъ, не долженъ приступать, чтобы приносить хлјбъ Богу своему.

18 Никто, у кого на тјлј есть порокъ, не долженъ приступать, ни слјпый, ни хромый, ни курносый, ни имјющій излишества въ членахъ,

19 ни такой, у котораго переломлена нога, или переломлена рука,

20 ни горбатый, ни сухой, ни съ бельмомъ въ глазј своемъ, ни коростовый, ни паршивый, ни съ поврежденными ятрами.

21 Ни одинъ человјкъ изъ сјмени Аарона священника, у когораго на тјлј есть порокъ, не долженъ приступать, чтобы приносить огиепалимыя жертвы Господу, порокъ на тјлј его, не долженъ онъ приступать, чтобы приносить хлјбъ Богу своему.

22 Хлјбъ Бога своего изъ великихъ святынь и изъ святынь онъ можетъ јсть.

23 Но къ завјсј не долженъ онъ приходить, и къ жертвеннику не долженъ приступать, потому что на тјлј его порокъ; не долженъ онъ порочить святилища Моего: ибо Я Господь, освящающій ихъ.

24 И объявилъ сіе Моисей Аарону и сынамъ его, и всјмъ сынамъ Израилевымъ.

Apocalypse Revealed #625

Étudier ce passage

  
/ 962  
  

625. For they are without blemish before the throne of God. This symbolically means, because they are governed by truths springing from goodness from the Lord.

Being without blemish symbolizes people who are not caught up in falsities, who accordingly are governed by truths; for blemishes symbolize falsities, especially falsities springing from evil. The throne of God symbolizes the Lord and heaven (nos. 14, 233). And because people governed by good from the Lord all appear as though governed by truths, therefore their being without blemish before the throne of God means symbolically that they are governed by truths that spring from goodness received from the Lord.

The reason is that people who are led by the Lord are all kept in a state of goodness received from Him, and from that goodness springs naught but truth. Even if falsity springs from it, it is apparent falsity, and this the Lord regards as akin to truth, being only of another color through a modification of the light of heaven. For the goodness that is present within it thus qualifies it.

It is possible, indeed, for falsity to spring from evil, and also for falsity to spring from goodness. The two may appear in outward form alike, but still they are totally different, because that which lies within forms the essence of each and produces its character.

Since blemishes symbolize falsities, therefore it was forbidden for any of the offspring of Aaron who had a defect to approach the altar or to enter within the veil (Leviticus 21:17-23). This meant that they were to be without blemish.

Moreover, the Israelites were also forbidden to offer a sacrifice of cattle, calves, sheep, goats, or lambs which had a blemish (Leviticus 22:19-25). The blemishes, too, are listed there.

Revelation 14

Étudier

   

1 I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.

2 I heard a sound from heaven, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of a great thunder. The sound which I heard was like that of harpists playing on their harps.

3 They sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth.

4 These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.

5 In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.

6 I saw an angel flying in mid heaven, having an eternal Good News to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth, and to every nation, tribe, language, and people.

7 He said with a loud voice, "Fear the Lord, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and the springs of waters!"

8 Another, a second angel, followed, saying, "Babylon the great has fallen, which has made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality."

9 Another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead, or on his hand,

10 he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.

11 The smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. They have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.

12 Here is the patience of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."

13 I heard the voice from heaven saying, "Write, 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.'" "Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them."

14 I looked, and behold, a white cloud; and on the cloud one sitting like a son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

15 Another angel came out from the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, "Send forth your sickle, and reap; for the hour to reap has come; for the harvest of the earth is ripe!"

16 He who sat on the cloud thrust his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

17 Another angel came out from the temple which is in heaven. He also had a sharp sickle.

18 Another angel came out from the altar, he who has power over fire, and he called with a great voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, "Send forth your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for the earth's grapes are fully ripe!"

19 The angel thrust his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

20 The winepress was trodden outside of the city, and blood came out from the winepress, even to the bridles of the horses, as far as one thousand six hundred stadia.
