Levitico 1

Studie

1 OR il Signore chiamò Mosè, e parlò a lui dal Tabernacolo della convenenza, dicendo:

2 Parla a’ figliuoli d’Israele, e di’ loro: Quando alcun di voi offerirà un’offerta al Signore, se quella è di animali, offerite le vostre offerte di buoi, o di pecore, o di capre.

3 Se la sua offerta è olocausto di buoi, offerisca quell’animale maschio, senza difetto; offeriscalo all’entrata del Tabernacolo della convenenza; acciocchè quello sia gradito per lui davanti al Signore.

4 E posi la mano in su la testa dell’olocausto; ed esso sarà gradito, per far purgamento del peccato per lui.

5 Poi quel bue sarà scannato davanti al Signore; e i figliuoli di Aaronne, sacerdoti, ne offeriranno il sangue, e lo spanderanno in su l’Altare ch’è all’entrata del Tabernacolo della convenenza, attorno attorno.

6 Poi l’olocausto sarà scorticato, e tagliato a pezzi.

7 E i figliuoli del Sacerdote Aaronne metteranno il fuoco sopra l’Altare, e ordineranno le legne in sul fuoco.

8 E poi i figliuoli di Aaronne, sacerdoti, ordineranno que’ pezzi, il capo, e la corata, sopra le legne, che saranno in sul fuoco, il qual sarà sopra l’Altare.

9 Ma si laveranno l’interiora, e le gambe di quel bue. E il sacerdote farà ardere tutte queste cose sopra l’Altare, in olocausto, in offerta soave fatta per fuoco, di soave odore al Signore.

10 E se l’offerta di esso per l’olocausto è del minuto bestiame, di pecore, o di capre, offerisca quell’animale maschio, senza difetto.

11 E scannisi dal lato settentrionale dell’Altare, davanti al Signore; e spandanne e figliuoli d’Aaronne, sacerdoti, il sangue sopra l’Altare, attorno attorno.

12 Poi taglisi a pezzi, i quali, insieme con la testa, e la corata, il sacerdote metterà per ordine sopra le legne che saranno in sul fuoco, il qual sarà sopra l’Altare.

13 Ma lavinsi le interiora, e le gambe, con acqua; e il sacerdote offerirà tutte queste cose, e le farà ardere sopra l’Altare. Quest’è un olocausto un’offerta fatta per fuoco, di soave odore al Signore.

14 E se la sua offerta al Signore è olocausto di uccelli, offerisca la sua offerta di tortole, ovvero di pippioni.

15 E offerisca il sacerdote quell’olocausto sopra l’Altare; e, torcendogli il collo, gli spicchi il capo, e faccialo ardere sopra l’Altare; e spremasene il sangue all’un dei lati dell’Altare.

16 Poi tolgasene il gozzo, e la piuma, e gittinsi quelle cose allato all’Altare, verso Oriente nel luogo delle ceneri.

17 Poi fenda il sacerdote l’uccello per le sue ale, senza partirlo in due; e faccialo ardere sopra l’Altare, sopra le legne che saranno in sul fuoco. Quest’è un olocausto, un’offerta fatta per fuoco, di soave odore al Signore.


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

380. "Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. (7:15) And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them." This symbolically means that they are in the Lord's presence, and live constantly and faithfully in His church in accordance with the truths that they receive from Him, and that the Lord continually implants goodness in their truths.

Their being therefore before the throne of God means, symbolically, that they are in the Lord's presence; and their serving Him day and night means, symbolically, that they constantly and faithfully live in accordance with the truths they receive from Him, which is to say, His commandments. Serving the Lord has no other symbolic meaning. To be in His temple means, symbolically, to be in His church (no. 191). "He who sits on the throne will dwell among them" means, symbolically, that the Lord continually implants goodness in the truths that they receive from Him. Dwelling among them has this symbolic meaning because in the Word, dwelling is predicated of goodness, and serving of truth.

At this point I must now disclose the following secret, that the marriage of the Lord and the church consists in the Lord's flowing into angels and people with the goodness of love, and in the angels' and peoples' reception of Him, or of the goodness of His love, in truths. By this means a marriage of goodness and truth is formed, a marriage that is the essence of the church, and one that becomes heaven in the recipients.

Because such is the nature of the Lord's inflowing and people's reception of Him, therefore the Lord looks upon angels and people by looking at their foreheads, and people look back at the Lord through their eyes. For the forehead corresponds to the goodness of love, and the eyes correspond to truths springing from that goodness - truths which, as a result of that conjunction, thus become truths belonging to goodness.

The Lord's flowing into angels and people with truths, on the other hand, is not like the flowing in of goodness in them, for it is a mediated one emanating from goodness, as light does from fire, and they receive it intellectually, and in the will only in so far as they practice the truths.

This, then, is the marriage of love and wisdom, or of goodness and truth, from the Lord, among those who receive it in heaven and on earth.

I have disclosed this secret to make known how the statement is to be understood, that the Lord continually implants goodness in their truths.
