利未記 1

勉強

1 耶和華會幕呼叫摩西,對他

2 你曉諭以色列人:你們中間若有人獻供物給耶和華,要從牛群羊群中獻牲畜為供物。

3 他的供物若以牛為燔祭,就要在會幕口獻一隻沒有殘疾的公牛,可以在耶和華面前蒙悅納。

4 他要按在燔祭牲的上,燔祭便蒙悅納,為他贖罪。

5 他要在耶和華面前宰公牛;亞倫子孫作祭司的,要奉上血,把血灑在會幕口、的周圍。

6 那人要剝去燔祭牲的皮,把燔祭牲切成塊子。

7 祭司亞倫的子孫要把放在上,把柴擺在上。

8 亞倫子孫作祭司的,要把肉塊和並脂油擺在的柴上。

9 但燔祭的臟腑與要用。祭司就要把一切全燒在上,當作燔祭,獻與耶和華為馨的火祭。

10 人的供物若以綿山羊為燔祭,就要獻上沒有殘疾的公

11 要把羊宰於邊,在耶和華面前;亞倫子孫作祭司的,要把羊血灑在的周圍。

12 要把燔祭牲切成塊子,連和脂油,祭司就要擺在的柴上;

13 但臟腑與要用,祭司就要全然奉獻,燒在上。這是燔祭,是獻與耶和華為馨的火祭。

14 人奉給耶和華的供物,若以為燔祭,就要獻斑鳩或是雛鴿為供物。

15 祭司要把鳥拿到前,揪下來,把鳥燒在上;鳥的血要流在的旁邊;

16 又要把鳥的嗉子和髒物除掉,(髒物:或作翎毛)丟在的東邊倒灰的地方

17 要拿著鳥的兩個翅膀,把鳥撕開,只是不可撕斷;祭司要在上、在的柴上焚燒。這是燔祭,是獻與耶和華為馨祭。

9527. 'And you shall make a table' means a receptacle of heavenly blessings [that belong to the good of love]. This is clear from the meaning of 'a table' as heaven in respect of its reception of such blessings as come from the Lord there, which are the good of love and the good of faith, and the joy and bliss derived from them. These blessings are meant by 'a table' because 'food' means the heavenly blessings that belong to the good of love and faith, and the wisdom and intelligence gained from them, which in everyday language too are called heavenly food and also in the Word are meant by 'food', see 56-58, 680, 681, 1480, 4459, 4792, 5293, 5340, 5342, 5576, 5579, 5915, 8562, 9003. What is more, a visual representation of those blessings is now and again made in heaven by means of a table on which all kinds of food are laid. From all this it is evident that 'a table' means a receptacle of heavenly blessings, thus heaven in respect of its reception of such blessings as come from the Lord. These blessings are also meant by 'table' in Luke,

Jesus said, I bestow on you, just as My father bestowed on Me, a kingdom, that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom. Luke 22:29-30.

And in Matthew,

Many will come from the east and the west and will recline with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 8:11.

Also in David,

I will fear no evil. You will spread a table before me in the presence of my enemies, You will make my head fat with oil; my cup will overflow. Goodness and mercy will follow me. Psalms 23:4-6.

In the contrary sense however 'table' means a receptacle of such things as exist in hell. In Isaiah,

They go astray through strong drink. They err among the seers, they are tottery in judgement. All tables are full of vomit. Whom will He teach knowledge, and whom will He cause to understand what is heard? Isaiah 28:7-9.

In the same prophet,

You who forsake Jehovah, who set a table for Gad, and fill a drink offering for Meni. Isaiah 65:11.

And in David,

They gave me gall for my food, and for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. Their table before them will become a snare. Psalms 69:21-22.
