3 Mose 6

Studie

   

1 Und Jehova redete zu Mose und sprach:

2 Gebiete Aaron und seinen Söhnen und sprich: Dies ist das Gesetz des Brandopfers. Dieses, das Brandopfer, soll auf seiner Feuerstelle sein, auf dem Altar, die ganze Nacht bis an den Morgen; und das Feuer des Altars soll auf demselben in Brand erhalten werden.

3 Und der Priester soll sein leinenes Kleid anziehen, und soll seine leinenen Beinkleider anziehen über sein Fleisch; und er soll die Fettasche abheben, wozu das Feuer das Brandopfer auf dem Altar verzehrt hat, und soll sie neben den Altar schütten. (W. setzen)

4 Und er soll seine Kleider ausziehen und andere Kleider anlegen und die Fettasche hinaustragen außerhalb des Lagers an einen reinen Ort.

5 Und das Feuer auf dem Altar soll auf demselben in Brand erhalten werden, es soll nicht erlöschen; und der Priester soll Holz auf ihm (d. h. dem Feuer) anzünden, Morgen für Morgen, und das Brandopfer auf ihm zurichten, und die Fettstücke der Friedensopfer auf ihm räuchern.

6 Ein beständiges Feuer soll auf dem Altar in Brand erhalten werden, es soll nicht erlöschen.

7 Und dies ist das Gesetz des Speisopfers: Einer der Söhne Aarons soll es vor Jehova darbringen vor dem Altar.

8 Und er soll davon seine Hand voll nehmen, (Eig. abheben) vom Feinmehl des Speisopfers und von dessen Öl, und allen Weihrauch, der auf dem Speisopfer ist, und es auf dem Altar räuchern: es ist ein lieblicher Geruch, sein (nämlich des Opfers; vergl. Kap. 2,2) Gedächtnisteil für Jehova.

9 Und das Übrige davon sollen Aaron und seine Söhne essen; ungesäuert soll es gegessen werden an heiligem Orte; im Vorhofe des Zeltes der Zusammenkunft sollen sie es essen.

10 Es soll nicht gesäuert gebacken werden; als ihren Anteil habe ich es ihnen gegeben von meinen Feueropfern: hochheilig ist es, wie das Sündopfer und wie das Schuldopfer.

11 Alles Männliche unter den Kindern Aarons soll es essen: ein für ewig Bestimmtes bei euren Geschlechtern von den Feueropfern Jehovas. Alles, was sie anrührt, wird heilig sein.

12 Und Jehova redete zu Mose und sprach:

13 Dies ist die Opfergabe Aarons und seiner Söhne, welche sie Jehova darbringen sollen an dem Tage, da er gesalbt wird: Ein zehntel Epha Feinmehl als beständiges Speisopfer, die Hälfte davon am Morgen und die Hälfte davon am Abend.

14 Es soll in der Pfanne mit Öl bereitet werden, eingerührt mit Öl sollst du es bringen; gebackene Speisopferstücke sollst du darbringen als einen lieblichen Geruch dem Jehova.

15 Und der Priester, der unter seinen Söhnen an seiner Statt gesalbt wird, soll es opfern; eine ewige Satzung: es soll dem Jehova ganz geräuchert werden.

16 Und jedes Speisopfer des Priesters soll ein Ganzopfer (ein Opfer, das ganz verbrannt wurde) sein; es soll nicht gegessen werden.

17 Und Jehova redete zu Mose und sprach:

18 ede zu Aaron und zu seinen Söhnen und sprich: Dies ist das Gesetz des Sündopfers. An dem Orte, wo das Brandopfer geschlachtet wird, soll das Sündopfer geschlachtet werden vor Jehova: hochheilig ist es.

19 Der Priester, der es als Sündopfer opfert, soll es essen; an heiligem Orte soll es gegessen werden, im Vorhofe des Zeltes der Zusammenkunft.

20 Alles, was sein Fleisch anrührt, wird heilig sein; und wenn von seinem Blute auf ein Kleid spritzt-das, worauf es spritzt, sollst du waschen an heiligem Orte.

21 Und das irdene Gefäß, in welchem es gekocht wird, soll zerbrochen werden, und wenn es in einem ehernen Gefäß gekocht wird, so soll dieses gescheuert und mit Wasser gespült werden.

22 Alles Männliche unter den Priestern soll es essen: hochheilig ist es.

23 Aber alles Sündopfer, von dessen Blut in das Zelt der Zusammenkunft gebracht wird, um im Heiligtum Sühnung zu tun, soll nicht gegessen werden; es soll mit Feuer verbrannt werden.

10133. 'A continual [offering]' means within all Divine worship. This is clear from the meaning of 'continual', when it refers to such things as belong to Divine worship, as all and within all. For the subject is purification from evils and falsities by means of the good of innocence, this good being meant by 'lambs' and purification from evils and consequent falsities by a burnt offering of them. This is called 'continual' because it must be present in all Divine worship. Therefore also the offering was presented twice each day, in the morning and in the evening; and offerings made morning and evening served in general to represent all worship and what must be present within all worship. The good of innocence must be in all good, and consequently in all truth, if they are to be goodness and truth that have life from the Divine within them, and so it must be within all worship. For all worship, to be worship, must spring from the good of love and from the truths of faith.

All of the Church's and of heaven's good has innocence within it, and without that innocence good is not good, nor therefore is worship worship, see 2736, 2780, 6013, 7840, 7887, 9262.

What innocence is, 3994, 4001, 4797, 5236, 6107, 6765, 7902, 9262, 9936, and the places referred to in 10021 (end).

[2] 'Continual' means all and within all - that is to say, the all of worship, and within all worship - because it is a term that has a temporal connotation and in heaven, where the Word is understood not in the natural but in the spiritual sense, people have no notions of time. Instead of periods of time they perceive the kinds of things that are states. By 'continual' at this point therefore they perceive a perpetual state within worship, thus the all of worship and within all worship. The same applies to all other terms in the Word which have temporal connotations, such as yesterday, today, tomorrow, two days, three days, daily, a week, a month, a year, also times of day and seasons of the year - morning, midday, evening, night, spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Therefore if the spiritual sense of the Word is to be understood, any idea of a period of time acquired from its natural sense, any idea of a place as well, indeed any idea of an actual person must be set aside, and states of things must be conceived of instead. From this it may be seen how perfect the Word is in its internal sense, and so how perfect is the perception of it by the angels in heaven, consequently how much more excellent angels' wisdom and understanding are than the understanding and wisdom of people in the world, who think with solely natural vision focused on the completely finite things of this world and planet. Regarding periods of time in heaven, that they are states, see 1274, 1382, 2625, 2788, 2837, 3254, 3356, 3404, 3827, 4814, 4882, 4901, 4916, 6110, 7218, 7381, 8070; and regarding what states are, 4850.

[3] From all this it is evident what the continual burnt offering of lambs means, and so what 'continual' and 'continually' mean elsewhere, as in the commands that 'the fire shall burn continually on the altar', Leviticus 6:13, and that 'the continual bread shall be on the table', Numbers 4:7. 'The fire' there and 'the bread' mean the good of love received from the Lord and offered back to Him. For 'the fire', that it has this meaning, see 4906, 5215, 6314, 6832, 6834, 6849, 7324, 7852, 10055; and also for 'the bread', 2165, 2177, 3478, 3735, 3813, 4211, 4217, 4735, 4976, 9323, 9545. In those places as well 'continual' means in addition that this good must be present in all worship; and the fact that the same good is the source from which the truth of faith must shine, as if from its fire, is meant by the decree that they were to cause a lamp to go up 1 continually, Exodus 27:20, 'a lamp' being the truth and good of faith, see 9548, 9783.

2803. As regards Divine Truth being meant by 'son' and Divine Good by 'father', this becomes clear from the meaning of 'son' as truth, dealt with in 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2623, and of 'father' as good, and also from the conception and birth of truth as taking place from good. As has been shown many times, truth cannot have being or manifest itself except from good. The reason 'son' here means Divine Truth, and 'father' Divine Good, is that the union of the Divine Essence with the Human Essence, and of the Human Essence with the Divine Essence, is the Divine Marriage of Divine Good to Truth, and of Truth to Good; and from that marriage comes the heavenly marriage. For within Jehovah or the Lord there is nothing but that which is infinite, and this being so, no other idea can be conceived of Him than that He is the Being and Manifestation (Esse et Existere) of all good and truth, that is, He is Good itself and Truth itself. Good itself is the Father, and Truth itself the Son. Now because the Divine Marriage, as has been stated, is a marriage of Good and Truth, and of Truth and Good, the Father is in the Son, and the Son is in the Father, as the Lord Himself teaches in John,

Jesus said to Philip, Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me. John 14:10-11.

And elsewhere in the same evangelist,

Jesus said to the Jews, Even though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father. John 10:36, 38.

And elsewhere,

I pray for them - for all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine - that they may all be one, as You, Father, are in Me and I in You John 17:9-10, 21.

And elsewhere,

Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God glorified in Him. If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself. Father, glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You. John 13:31-32; 17:1.

[2] From these places one may see the nature of the union of the Divine and of the Human within the Lord - that each is linked mutually to the other and responds to the other - that is, it is a reciprocal union. This is the Union which is called the Divine Marriage, from which the heavenly marriage comes down, which is the Lord's kingdom itself in heaven and is referred to in John as follows,

On that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. John 14:20.

And elsewhere,

I pray for these, that they may all be one, as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, I in them and You in Me, that the love with which You have loved Me may be in them, and I in them. John 17:21-23, 26.

[3] As regards this heavenly marriage being a marriage of good and truth, and of truth and good, see 2508, 2618, 2728, 2729 and following paragraphs. And since Divine Good cannot possibly have being or manifest itself without Divine Truth, and Divine Truth cannot possibly do so without Divine Good, but one is always reaching out to and responding to the other, it is therefore plain that the Divine Marriage has existed from eternity, that is, the Father in the Son, and the Son in the Father, as the Lord Himself teaches in John,

Now, Father, glorify Me in Your Own Self with the glory I had with You before the world was. John 17:5, 24.

But the Divine Human that had been born from eternity was also born in time, and what was born in time is the same as that which was glorified. This is what accounts for the Lord's saying many times that He was going to the Father who sent Him, that is, He was returning to the Father. And in John,

In the beginning was the Word (the Word being Divine Truth itself), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. Furthermore the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of the Only Begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:1-3, 14.

See also John 3:13; 6:62.
