Leviticus 1

Учиться

1 And Jehovah called to Moses, and spoke to him from the Tabernacle of the congregation, saying,

2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, If any man of you offer an offering to Jehovah, you shall offer your offering from the beast, from the herd, and from the flock.

3 If his offering be a burnt·​·offering from the herd, let him offer a perfect male; he shall offer it for his own good·​·pleasure at the entrance of the Tabernacle of the congregation before Jehovah.

4 And he shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt·​·offering; and it shall be·​·well·​·pleasing for him to make·​·atonement on him.

5 And he shall slaughter the young of the herd before Jehovah; and the priests, the sons of Aaron, shall offer the blood, and sprinkle the blood all around on the altar that is by the entrance of the Tabernacle of the congregation.

6 And he shall strip·​·off the skin of the burnt·​·offering, and section it into her sections.

7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and arrange the wood upon the fire;

8 and the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall arrange the sections, with the head and the fat, on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar;

9 but its inward·​·parts and its legs shall he bathe in water; and the priest shall burn· it all ·as·​·incense on the altar, for a burnt·​·offering, a fire·​·offering, a restful smell to Jehovah.

10 And if his offering be from the flock, from the sheep*, or from the goats, for a burnt·​·offering, he shall offer it, a perfect male.

11 And he shall slaughter it on the flank* of the altar northward before Jehovah; and the priests, the sons of Aaron, shall sprinkle its blood all around upon the altar.

12 And he shall section it into its sections, and with its head and its fat; and the priest shall arrange them on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar:

13 but he shall bathe its inward·​·parts and its legs with water; and the priest shall offer it all, and burn· it ·as·​·incense on the altar; it is a burnt·​·offering, a fire·​·offering, a restful smell to Jehovah.

14 And if the burnt·​·offering for his offering to Jehovah be of fowls, then he shall offer his offering of turtledoves, or of young doves.

15 And the priest shall offer it to the altar, and wring·​·off its head, and burn· it ·for·​·incense on the altar; and its blood shall be pressed·​·out on the wall of the altar;

16 and he shall remove its crop with its feathers and cast it beside the altar eastward, to the place of the burnt fatness;

17 and he shall split* it with its wings, he shall not separate it; and the priest shall burn· it ·for·​·incense on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire: it is a burnt·​·offering, a fire·​·offering, a restful smell to Jehovah.

Head

The head is the part of us that is highest, which means in a representative sense that it is what is closest to the Lord. Because of this the head represents what is inmost in us, the thing at the center of our being. In most cases this means intelligence and wisdom, since most of us are in a state of life in which we are led by our thoughts and reason. In the case of the Lord, however, it often represents His perfect love. And in many cases the head is used to represent the whole person.

823. And on His head were many jewels 1 . This symbolizes the Divine truths in the Word from the Lord.

On the head means, symbolically, from the Lord, for the head symbolizes wisdom springing from love, and a person is governed from the head by wisdom springing from love. John saw jewels on the head, because the Word's Divine truths, symbolized by jewels, come from the Lord. That jewels symbolize the Word's Divine truths may be seen in nos. 231, 540; that the head in reference to the Lord symbolizes the Divine wisdom accompanying Divine love, in no. 47; and what else the head symbolizes, in nos. 538, 568.

The Word's Divine truths correspond in the spiritual world to jewels, and owing to the correspondence, so appear there, and are seen in heaven on the heads of people who regard the Word as holy. Jewels accordingly symbolize the Word's Divine truths in its literal sense. That is because the literal sense is made translucent by its spiritual and celestial senses, as jewels are by light.

Сноски:

1. The word translated as "jewels" here means diadems or crowns in the original Greek and Latin, but the writer's definitions of the term elsewhere make plain that he regularly and consistently interpreted it to mean jewels or gems.
