学习

   

1 耶和华摩西

2 你晓谕以色列人:若有人在耶和华所吩咐不可行的甚麽事上误犯了件,

3 或是受膏的祭司犯,使百姓陷在里,就当为他所犯的把没有残疾的公牛犊献给耶和华为赎祭。

4 他要牵公牛到会幕口,在耶和华面前按在牛的上,把牛宰於耶和华面前。

5 受膏的祭司要取些公牛的血会幕

6 把指头蘸於血中,在耶和华面前对着所的幔子弹血次,

7 又要把些血抹在会幕内、耶和华面前的四角上,再把公牛所有的血倒在会幕口、燔祭坛的脚那里。

8 要把赎祭公牛所有的脂油,乃是盖脏的脂油和脏上所有的脂油,

9 并两个腰子和腰子上的脂油,就是靠腰两旁的脂油,与上的网子和腰子,一概取下,

10 与平安祭公牛上所取的一样;祭司要把这些烧在燔祭的上。

11 公牛的和所有的,并、脏、腑、粪,

12 就是全公牛,要搬到外洁净之地、倒灰之所,用烧在柴上。

13 以色列会众若行了耶和华所吩咐不可行的甚麽事,误犯了罪,是隐而未现,会众看不出来的,

14 会众知道所犯的就要献一只公牛犊为赎祭,牵到会幕前。

15 会中的长老就要在耶和华面前按在牛的上,将牛在耶和华面前宰了。

16 受膏的祭司要取些公牛的血会幕

17 把指头蘸於血中,在耶和华面前对着幔子弹血次,

18 又要把些血抹在会幕内、耶和华面前的四角上,再把所有的血倒在会幕口、燔祭坛的脚那里。

19 把牛所有的脂油都取下,烧在上;

20 收拾这牛,与那赎祭的牛一样。祭司要为他们赎,他们必蒙赦免。

21 他要把牛搬到外烧了,像烧头一个牛一样;这是会众的赎祭。

22 官长若行了耶和华─他所吩咐不可行的甚麽事,误犯了罪,

23 所犯的自己知道了,就要牵一只没有残疾的公山羊为供物,

24 在羊的上,宰於耶和华面前、宰燔祭牲的地方;这是赎祭。

25 祭司要用指头蘸些赎祭牲的血,抹在燔祭坛的四角上,把血倒在燔祭坛的脚那里。

26 所有的脂油,祭司都要烧在上,正如平安祭的脂油一样。至於他的,祭司要为他赎了,他必蒙赦免。

27 民中若有人行了耶和华所吩咐不可行的甚麽事,误犯了罪,

28 所犯的自己知道了,就要为所犯的牵一只没有残疾的母山羊为供物,

29 在赎祭牲的上,在那宰燔祭牲的地方宰了。

30 祭司要用指头蘸些羊的血,抹在燔祭坛的四角上,所有的血都要倒在的脚那里,

31 又要把羊所有的脂油都取下,正如取平安祭牲的脂油一样。祭司要在上焚烧,在耶和华面前作为馨的祭,为他赎罪,他必蒙赦免。

32 人若牵一只绵羊羔为赎祭的供物,必要牵一只没有残疾的母羊,

33 在赎祭牲的上,在那宰燔祭牲的地方宰了作赎祭。

34 祭司要用指头蘸些赎祭牲的血,抹在燔祭坛的四角上,所有的血都要倒在的脚那里,

35 又要把所有的脂油都取下,正如取平安祭羊羔的脂油一样。祭司要按献给耶和华火祭的条例,烧在上。至於所犯的,祭司要为他赎了,他必蒙赦免。

8680. 'And Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God' means worship springing from the good of love and the truths of faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'a burnt offering and sacrifices' as representatives of celestial and spiritual realities that belong to internal worship, 'burnt offerings' being representative of celestial realities, that is, aspects of the good of love, and 'sacrifices' being representative of spiritual ones, that is, aspects of the truth of faith, dealt with in 922, 923, 1823, 2180, 2805, 2807, 2830, 3218, 3519, 6905. The representation of 'burnt offerings' as aspects of the good of love, and of 'sacrifices' as aspects of the truth of faith, is clear from their institution - from the requirement that in burnt offerings everything was to be burnt, both the flesh and the blood, but that in sacrifices the flesh was to be eaten, as may be seen in chapters 1-5 of Leviticus; Numbers 28; and in Deuteronomy, where the following words occur,

You are to present, your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, on the altar of Jehovah your God; the blood of the sacrifices shall be poured out on the altar of Jehovah your God, and the flesh you shall eat. Deuteronomy 12:27.

The reason why those two realities were represented by the burnt offerings and sacrifices is that burnt offerings and sacrifices represented all worship of God in general, 923, 6905; and worship of God in general is founded on love and faith. Without these it is not worship, only ritual such as is performed by the external man who has no internal and so no life within him.
