공부

   

1 L’Eterno parlò ancora a Mosè, dicendo:

2 "Prendi Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli con lui, i paramenti, l’olio dell’unzione, il giovenco del sacrifizio per il peccato, i due montoni e il paniere dei pani azzimi;

3 e convoca tutta la raunanza all’ingresso della tenda di convegno".

4 E Mosè fece come l’Eterno gli aveva ordinato, e la raunanza fu convocata all’ingresso della tenda di convegno.

5 E Mosè disse alla raunanza: "Questo è quello che l’Eterno ha ordinato di fare".

6 E Mosè fece accostare Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli, e li lavò con acqua.

7 Poi rivestì Aaronne della tunica, lo cinse della cintura, gli pose addosso il manto, gli mise l’efod, e lo cinse della cintura artistica dell’efod, con la quale gli fissò l’efod addosso.

8 Gli mise pure il pettorale, e sul pettorale pose l’Urim e il Thummim.

9 Poi gli mise in capo la mitra, e sul davanti della mitra pose la lamina d’oro, il santo diadema, come l’Eterno aveva ordinato a Mosè.

10 Poi Mosè prese l’olio dell’unzione, unse il tabernacolo e tutte le cose che vi si trovavano, e le consacrò.

11 Ne fece sette volte l’aspersione sull’altare, unse l’altare e tutti i suoi utensili, e la conca e la sua base, per consacrarli.

12 E versò dell’olio dell’unzione sul capo d’Aaronne, e unse Aaronne, per consacrarlo.

13 Poi Mosè fece accostare i figliuoli d’Aaronne, li vestì di tuniche, li cinse di cinture, e assicurò sul loro capo delle tiare, come l’Eterno aveva ordinato a Mosè.

14 Fece quindi accostare il giovenco del sacrifizio per il peccato, e Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli posarono le loro mani sulla testa del giovenco del sacrifizio per il peccato.

15 Mosè lo scannò, ne prese del sangue, lo mise col dito sui corni dell’altare tutto all’intorno, e purificò l’altare; poi sparse il resto del sangue appiè dell’altare, e lo consacrò per farvi su l’espiazione.

16 Poi prese tutto il grasso ch’era sulle interiora, la rete del fegato, i due arnioni col loro grasso, e Mosè fece fumar tutto sull’altare.

17 Ma il giovenco, la sua pelle, la sua carne e i suoi escrementi, li bruciò col fuoco fuori del campo, come l’Eterno aveva ordinato a Mosè.

18 Fece quindi accostare il montone dell’olocausto, e Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli posarono le mani sulla testa del montone.

19 E Mosè lo scannò, e ne sparse il sangue sull’altare tutto all’intorno.

20 Poi fece a pezzi il montone, e Mosè fece fumare la testa, i pezzi e il grasso.

21 E quando n’ebbe lavato le interiora e le gambe con acqua, Mosè fece fumare tutto il montone sull’altare. Fu un olocausto di soave odore, un sacrifizio fatto mediante il fuoco all’Eterno, come l’Eterno aveva ordinato a Mosè.

22 Poi fece accostare il secondo montone, il montone della consacrazione; e Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli posarono le mani sulla testa del montone.

23 E Mosè lo scannò, e ne prese del sangue e lo mise sull’estremità dell’orecchio destro d’Aaronne e sul pollice della sua man destra e sul dito grosso del suo piede destro.

24 Poi Mosè fece accostare i figliuoli d’Aaronne, e pose di quel sangue sull’estremità del loro orecchio destro, sul pollice della loro man destra e sul dito grosso del loro piè destro; e sparse il resto del sangue sull’altare tutto all’intorno.

25 Poi prese il grasso, la coda, tutto il grasso che copriva le interiora, la rete del fegato, i due arnioni, il loro grasso, e la coscia destra;

26 e dal paniere dei pani azzimi, ch’era davanti all’Eterno, prese una focaccia senza lievito, una focaccia di pasta oliata e una galletta, e le pose sui grassi e sulla coscia destra.

27 Poi mise tutte queste cose sulle palme delle mani d’Aaronne e sulle palme delle mani de’ suoi figliuoli, e le agitò come offerta agitata davanti all’Eterno.

28 Mosè quindi le prese dalle loro mani, e le fece fumare sull’altare sopra l’olocausto. Fu un sacrifizio di consacrazione, di soave odore: un sacrifizio fatto mediante il fuoco all’Eterno.

29 Poi Mosè prese il petto del montone e lo agitò come offerta agitata davanti all’Eterno; questa fu la parte del montone della consacrazione che toccò a Mosè, come l’Eterno aveva ordinato a Mosè.

30 Mosè prese quindi dell’olio dell’unzione e del sangue ch’era sopra l’altare, e ne asperse Aaronne e i suoi paramenti, i figliuoli di lui e i loro paramenti; e consacrò Aaronne e i suoi paramenti, i figliuoli di lui e i loro paramenti con lui.

31 Poi Mosè disse ad Aaronne e ai suoi figliuoli: "Fate cuocere la carne all’ingresso della tenda di convegno; e quivi la mangerete col pane che è nel paniere della consacrazione, come ho ordinato, dicendo: Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli la mangeranno.

32 E quel che rimane della carne e del pane lo brucerete col fuoco.

33 E per sette giorni non vi dipartirete dall’ingresso della tenda di convegno, finché non siano compiuti i giorni delle vostre consacrazioni; poiché la vostra consacrazione durerà sette giorni.

34 Come s’è fatto oggi, così l’Eterno ha ordinato che si faccia, per fare espiazione per voi.

35 Rimarrete dunque sette giorni all’ingresso della tenda di convegno, giorno e notte, e osserverete il comandamento dell’Eterno, affinché non muoiate; poiché così m’è stato ordinato".

36 E Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli fecero tutte le cose che l’Eterno aveva ordinate per mezzo di Mosè.

392. Then another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer. (8:3) This symbolizes spiritual worship, which originates from the goodness of charity expressed through truths of faith.

The altar at which the angel stood, and the golden censer that he had in his hand, symbolize worship of the Lord springing from a spiritual love, which is worship that originates from the goodness of charity expressed through truths of faith.

The children of Israel had two altars, one outside the Tabernacle, the other inside the Tabernacle. The altar outside the Tabernacle was called the altar of burnt offering, because burnt offerings and other sacrifices were presented on it. The altar inside the Tabernacle was called the altar of incense, and also the golden altar.

They had these two altars because worship of the Lord originates from celestial love and from spiritual love - from celestial love in the case of angels in His celestial kingdom, and from spiritual love in the case of angels in His spiritual kingdom. Regarding these two kingdoms, see no. 387 above.

Regarding the two altars, see the following passages in the books of Moses: On the altar of burnt offering, Exodus 20:24-26; 27:1-8; 29:36-43, Leviticus 6:8-12; 8:11; 16:18-19, 33-34. On the altar of incense, Exodus 30:1-10; 31:8; 37:25-29; 40:5, 26, Numbers 7:1.

John saw altars, censers, and the burning of incense, not because things of that kind are found in heaven. They were simply images representative of the worship of the Lord there. John saw them because such things were instituted among the children of Israel, and are often mentioned, therefore, in the Word. Moreover that church was a representational church, for every aspect of their worship was representative, and therefore those things now symbolize the Lord's Divinely given celestial and spiritual elements which are connected with His church in heaven and on earth.

[2] These same things are therefore symbolically meant in the Word by these two altars in the following places:

Send out Your light and Your truth! Let them lead me... to Your habitations. Then I will go to the altar of God, to God... (Psalms 43:3-4)

I wash my hands in innocence, and go around your altar, O Jehovah, and I will make to be heard the voice of confession... (Psalms 26:6-7)

The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron... on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of your altars... (Jeremiah 17:1-2)

God is Jehovah, who gives us light; bind the festal sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar. (Psalms 118:27)

In that day there will be an altar to Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt... (Isaiah 19:19)

An altar to Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt symbolizes worship of the Lord originating from love in the natural person.

The thistle and thorn shall rise up on their altars. (Hosea 10:8)

These symbolize worship originating from evils and from the falsities accompanying evil.

See also elsewhere, such as Isaiah 27:9; 56:6-7; 60:7.

[3] Since an altar represented and so symbolized worship of the Lord, it is apparent that the altar here in the book of Revelation has no other meaning, and so, too, elsewhere. As for example:

...I saw under the altar the souls of those slain for the Word of God... (Revelation 6:9)

...the angel stood and said, ."..measure the temple of God and the altar, and those who worship in it." (Revelation 11:1)

...I heard another (angel) from the altar saying, ."..true and just are Your judgments." (Revelation 16:7)

Since representative worship was carried out principally upon the two altars, and since it was abolished by the Lord when He came into the world because He laid open the inner qualities of a church, we are accordingly told in Isaiah,

In that day a man will look to his Maker, and his eyes will regard the Holy One of Israel, and... not... to the altars, the work of his hands. (Isaiah 17:7-8)

Revelation 6

1 I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder, "Come and see!"

2 And behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow. A crown was given to him, and he came forth conquering, and to conquer.

3 When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come!"

4 Another came forth, a red horse. To him who sat on it was given power to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another. There was given to him a great sword.

5 When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, "Come and see!" And behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a balance in his hand.

6 I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenix of barley for a denarius! Don't damage the oil and the wine!"

7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, "Come and see!"

8 And behold, a pale horse, and he who sat on it, his name was Death. Hades followed with him. Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth was given to him.

9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had.

10 They cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?"

11 A long white robe was given to each of them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, should complete their course.

12 I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became as blood.

13 The stars of the sky fell to the earth, like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when it is shaken by a great wind.

14 The sky was removed like a scroll when it is rolled up. Every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

15 The kings of the earth, the princes, the commanding officers, the rich, the strong, and every slave and free person, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains.

16 They told the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb,

17 for the great day of his wrath has come; and who is able to stand?"
