Leviticus第5章

学习

   

1 Zhřešil-li by člověk, tak že slyše hlas zakletí a jsa svědkem toho, což viděl neb slyšel, a neoznámil by, poneseť pokutu za nepravost svou.

2 Aneb jestliže by se dotkl člověk některé věci nečisté, buďto těla zvěři nečisté, buďto těla hovada nečistého, aneb těla žížaly nečisté, a bylo by to skryto před ním, tedy nečistý bude a vinen jest.

3 Aneb jestliže by se dotkl nečistoty člověka, jaká by koli byla nečistota jeho, kterouž se poškvrňuje, a bylo by to skryto před ním, a potom poznal by to, vinen jest.

4 Aneb jestliže by se kdo zapřisáhl, vynášeje to rty svými, že učiní něco zlého aneb dobrého, a to o jakékoli věci, o níž člověk s přísahou obyčej má mluviti, a bylo by to skryto před ním, a potom by poznal, že vinen jest jednou věcí z těch,

5 Když tedy vinen bude jednou věcí z těch: vyzná hřích svůj,

6 A přivede obět za vinu svou Hospodinu, za hřích svůj, kterýmž zhřešil, samici z dobytku drobného, ovci aneb kozu za hřích, a očistíť jej kněz od hříchů jeho.

7 A pakli by s to býti nemohl, aby dobytče obětoval, tedy přinese obět za vinu svou, kterouž zhřešil, dvě hrdličky aneb dvé holoubátek Hospodinu, jedno v obět za hřích a druhé v obět zápalnou.

8 I přinese je k knězi, a on obětovati bude nejprvé to, kteréž má býti v obět za hřích, a nehtem natrhne hlavy jeho naproti tylu jeho, však nerozdělí jí.

9 I pokropí krví z oběti za hřích strany oltáře, a což zůstane krve, vytlačí ji k spodku oltáře; nebo obět za hřích jest.

10 Z druhého pak učiní obět zápalnou vedlé obyčeje. A tak očistí jej kněz od hříchu jeho, kterýmž zhřešil, a bude mu odpuštěn.

11 A pakli nemůže s to býti, aby přinesl dvě hrdličky aneb dvé holoubátek, tedy přinese obět svou ten, kterýž zhřešil, desátý díl míry efi mouky bělné v obět za hřích. Nenalejeť na ni oleje, aniž položí na ni kadidla, nebo obět za hřích jest.

12 Kterouž když přinese k knězi, tedy kněz vezma z ní plnou hrst svou, pamětné její, páliti to bude na oltáři mimo obět ohnivou Hospodinu, obět za hřích jest.

13 I očistí jej kněz od hříchu jeho, kterýmž zhřešil v kterékoli věci z těch, a budeť mu odpuštěn; ostatek pak bude knězi jako při oběti suché.

14 Mluvil opět Hospodin k Mojžíšovi, řka:

15 Kdyby člověk přestoupil přestoupením, a zhřešil by z poblouzení, ujímaje věcí posvěcených Hospodinu: tedy přinese obět za vinu svou Hospodinu, skopce bez poškvrny z drobného dobytka, podlé ceny tvé, nejníž za dva loty stříbra, vedlé lotu svatyně, za vinu.

16 A tak, což zhřešil, ujímaje posvěcených věcí, nahradí, a pátý díl nad to přidá, dada to knězi; kněz pak očistí jej skrze skopce oběti za vinu, a bude jemu odpuštěna.

17 Jestliže by pak člověk zhřešil, a učinil by proti některému ze všech přikázaní Hospodinových, čehož by nemělo býti, neznaje toho, a byl by vinen, rovně též ponese nepravost svou.

18 A přivede skopce bez poškvrny z drobného dobytka vedlé ceny tvé v obět za vinu k knězi. I očistí jej kněz od poblouzení jeho, kterýmž pobloudil a o němž nevěděl, a bude mu odpuštěno.

19 Obět za provinění jest, nebo zavinil Hospodinu.

9506. 'And you shall make a mercy-seat from pure gold' means the hearing and reception of all things that belong to worship arising from the good of love. This is clear from the meaning of 'the mercy-seat' as the cleansing from evils or forgiveness of sins, consequently the hearing and reception of all things that belong to worship, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'gold' as the good of love, dealt with in 113, 1551, 1552, 5658, 6914. The truth that 'the mercy-seat' means the cleansing from evils and forgiveness of sins is clear from those places in the Word where propitiation or expiation is referred to. 1 The reason why the hearing and reception of all things belonging to worship is also meant is that only those who have made propitiation or expiation, that is, been cleansed from evils, are heard by the Lord and have their worship accepted by Him; it does not happen with those who are steeped in evils, that is, have not made expiation or propitiation. Therefore also Aaron was not allowed to approach the mercy-seat until he had been cleansed and had made propitiation for himself and the people.

[2] The truth that 'the mercy-seat' consequently means the hearing and reception of all things that belong to worship is also clear from the consideration that Jehovah spoke to Moses over the mercy-seat between the cherubs. The reason why worship arising from the good of love is that which is received is that no one is allowed to enter heaven and so approach the Lord other than a person who is governed by good, that is to say, by the good of love to the Lord and the good of charity towards the neighbour, see 8516, 8539, 8722, 8772, 9139, 9227, 9230, 9274; no one else is heard nor can anyone else's worship be received. This also explains why there were cherubs over the mercy-seat; for watchfulness and providence are meant by 'the cherubs', guarding against access to the Lord except through the good of love, that is, guarding against entrance into heaven by any apart from those who are governed by good, and also guarding against those in hell gaining access to the inhabitants of heaven and doing them harm. All this shows what was meant by the presence of the mercy-seat over the ark and by that of the cherubs over the mercy-seat, and by the fact that the mercy-seat and the cherubs too were made from pure gold; for 'gold' means the good of love, and 'the ark' heaven where the Lord is.

[3] The truth that 'the mercy-seat' means the cleansing from evils, and so the forgiveness of sins, is clear from places in the Word where 'propitiation' or 'expiation' 2 is referred to, as in David,

O Jehovah, expiate our sins for Your name's sake. Psalms 79:9.

In the same author,

He, being merciful, has expiated iniquity. Psalms 78:38.

In the same author,

You will expiate me with hyssop and I shall become clean; You will wash me and I shall be made whiter than snow. Psalms 51:7.

In Isaiah,

Evil will come upon you, which you will not know how to ward off; calamity will befall you, which you will not be able to expiate. Isaiah 47:11.

And in Moses,

Sing, O nations, the people of Him who will avenge the blood of His servants, and will expiate His land, His people. Deuteronomy 32:43.

[4] Expiations were effected by means of sacrifices; and it says that when they were offered the priest would expiate him from sin, and he would be pardoned, 3 Leviticus 4:26, 31, 35; 5:6, 10, 13, 16, 18; 6:7; 9:7; 15:15, 30. Expiation was also effected by 'silver', Exodus 30:16; Psalms 49:7. Hence also the day of expiations 4 before the feast of tabernacles, Leviticus 23:27-32. But it should be recognized that none of those expiations constituted a real cleansing from evils or forgiveness of sins; it only represented it. For every religious observance among the Israelite and Jewish nation was merely representative of the Lord, His kingdom and Church, and such realities as belong to heaven and the Church. How representations brought such realities to angels' awareness in heaven, see 9229.

[5] Since the cleansing from evils and forgiveness of sins was meant by 'the mercy-seat', the hearing and reception of all things that belonged to worship was also meant; for one who has been cleansed from evils is heard and his worship is received. This was represented by Jehovah's speaking above the mercy-seat to Moses and His commanding what the children of Israel should do, as is clear from verse 22 of the present chapter, where it says,

And I will meet with you there, and I will speak to you from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubs which are over the ark of the Testimony, [declaring] everything that I shall command you for the children of Israel.

The like occurs elsewhere,

Whenever Moses spoke to Jehovah he heard the voice speaking from above the mercy-seat that was over the ark of the Testimony, from between the two cherubs. Numbers 7:89.

The fact that a person was heard and his worship was received when he had been cleansed from evils was represented by Aaron's not going into the holy place within the veil before the mercy-seat unless he had first made expiation for himself and the people, by ceremonial washing, sacrifices, incense, and blood, as stated in Leviticus 16:2-16, which concludes,

In this way he shall expiate the holy place from the uncleannesses of the children of Israel, and from their transgressions in regard of all their sins.

It also says in verse 2 that Jehovah would appear at the mercy-seat 'in the cloud', meaning in Divine Truth adjusted to people's ability to receive and understand it, such as the Word is in the sense of the letter, 4060, 4391, 5922, 6343 (end), 6752, 8106, 8443, 8781.

脚注:

1. The Latin word propitiatorium rendered the mercy-seat may be translated more literally as the place of propitiation.

2. The Hebrew verb behind expiate, used in an uncommon way in the following quotations, means cover over. The Latin verb generally means atone for or purify what is defiled.

3. i.e. the priest shall make atonement for the person's sin, and the person will stand forgiven

4. Generally known as the day of atonement
