Levitska 2

1 "Kad tko želi prinijeti Jahvi žrtvu prinosnicu, neka njegov dar bude od najboljeg brašna; neka ga polije uljem i na nj stavi tamjana.

2 Neka ga onda donese Aronovim sinovima, svećenicima. Zatim neka zagrabi šaku od toga brašna i ulja i sav tamjan, pa neka svećenik na žrtveniku to sažeže u kad za spomen-žrtvu. To je žrtva paljena Jahvi na ugodan miris.

3 A što od žrtve prinosnice ostane, neka pripadne Aronu i njegovim sinovima - najsvetije od žrtava Jahvi paljenih.

4 Ako za žrtvu prinosnicu želiš prinijeti tijesta pečena u peći, neka to budu beskvasne pogače od najboljeg brašna, zamiješene u ulju, ili beskvasne prevrte uljem namazane.

5 Ako tvoj dar bude žrtva prinosnica pečena na tavi, neka bude od najboljeg brašna, neukvasana i u ulju zamiješena.

6 U komade je izlomi i po njima ulja polij: žrtva je to prinosnica.

7 Bude li tvoja prinosnica kuhana u kotluši, neka bude od najboljeg brašna, pripravljena s uljem.

8 Donosi Jahvi žrtvu prinosnicu tako pripravljenu! Neka se preda svećeniku, a on će je polagati na žrtvenik.

9 Neka svećenik odvoji od žrtve prinosnice dio kao spomen-žrtvu, pa neka ga sažeže u kad na žrtveniku - kao žrtvu paljenu Jahvi na ugodan miris!

10 A što od žrtve prinosnice ostane, neka pripadne Aronu i njegovim sinovima - najsvetije od žrtava Jahvi paljenih.

11 Nikakva žrtva prinosnica koju budeš prinosio Jahvi neka ne bude priređivana s kvasom, jer ne smiješ u kad sažigati ni kvasa ni meda kao žrtvu paljenicu.

12 Prinosite ih Jahvi kao prvine plodova, ali neka se sa žrtvenika ne viju na ugodan miris.

13 Svaku svoju žrtvu prinosnicu posoli. Ne ostavljaj svoje žrtve prinosnice bez soli Saveza sa svojim Bogom: sa svakim svojim prinosom prinesi i sol.

14 Ako prinosiš Jahvi žrtvu prinosnicu od prvina, prinesi tu žrtvu od prvina svojih plodova u obliku klasa pržena na vatri ili brašna od samljevenog zrnja.

15 Dodaj još ulja i na nju stavi tamjana. To je žrtva prinosnica.

16 Onda neka svećenik sažeže u kad za spomen-žrtvu dio kruha i ulja i sav tamjan kao žrtvu Jahvi paljenu."

278. Which are the prayers of the saints. This symbolizes thoughts that are matters of faith springing from affections that are matters of charity in people who worship the Lord in accord with spiritual goods and truths.

Prayers mean matters having to do with faith in people who pour forth prayers, and at the same time matters having do to with charity, since without these, prayers are not prayers but empty sounds.

That saints symbolize people who are impelled by spiritual goods and truths may be seen in no. 173 above.

Burnings of incense are called the prayers of the saints because fragrant aromas correspond to affections for goodness and truth. That is why reference is made so often in the Word to a pleasing aroma or a restful aroma to Jehovah, as in Exodus 29:18, 25, 41, Leviticus 1:9, 13, 17; 2:2, 9, 12; 3:5; 4:31; 6:15, 21; 8:28; 23:13, 18; 26:31, Numbers 28:6, 8, 13; 15:3; 29:2, 6, 8, 13, 36, Ezekiel 20:41, Hosea 14:7.

Prayers called incense have the same symbolic meaning in the following verses in the book of Revelation:

(An angel, standing at the altar,) having a golden censer..., was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar... And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel's hand. (Revelation 8:3-4)

And in the book of Psalms:

Give ear to my voice... My prayers are accepted as incense before You... (Psalms 141:1-2)

Revelation 5

pag-aaral

   

1 I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a book written inside and outside, sealed shut with seven seals.

2 I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?"

3 No one in heaven above, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look in it.

4 And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look in it.

5 One of the elders said to me, "Don't weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome; he who opens the book and its seven seals."

6 I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.

7 Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne.

8 Now when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

9 They sang a new song, saying, "You are worthy to take the book, and to open its seals: for you were killed, and bought us for God with your blood, out of every tribe, language, people, and nation,

10 and made us kings and priests to our God, and we will reign on earth."

11 I saw, and I heard something like a voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands;

12 saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing!"

13 I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever! Amen!"

14 The four living creatures said, "Amen!" The elders fell down and worshiped.
