Leviticus第1章

学习

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

  
Photo by Joy Brown

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.

Exodus第26章

1 "Moreover you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim. The work of the skillful workman you shall make them.

2 The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits: all the curtains shall have one measure.

3 Five curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and the other five curtains shall be coupled one to another.

4 You shall make loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the edge in the coupling; and likewise you shall make in the edge of the curtain that is outmost in the second coupling.

5 You shall make fifty loops in the one curtain, and you shall make fifty loops in the edge of the curtain that is in the second coupling. The loops shall be opposite one to another.

6 You shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains one to another with the clasps: and the tabernacle shall be a unit.

7 "You shall make curtains of goats' hair for a covering over the tabernacle. You shall make them eleven curtains.

8 The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits: the eleven curtains shall have one measure.

9 You shall couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shall double over the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tent.

10 You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain that is outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which is outmost in the second coupling.

11 You shall make fifty clasps of brass, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.

12 The overhanging part that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.

13 The cubit on the one side, and the cubit on the other side, of that which remains in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.

14 You shall make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of sea cow hides above.

15 "You shall make the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing up.

16 Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and one and a half cubits the breadth of each board.

17 There shall be two tenons in each board, joined to one another: thus you shall make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

18 You shall make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side southward.

19 You shall make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.

20 For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, twenty boards,

21 and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

22 For the far part of the tabernacle westward you shall make six boards.

23 You shall make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the far part.

24 They shall be double beneath, and in the same way they shall be whole to its top to one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.

25 There shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

26 "You shall make bars of acacia wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

27 and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle, for the far part westward.

28 The middle bar in the midst of the boards shall pass through from end to end.

29 You shall overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold for places for the bars: and you shall overlay the bars with gold.

30 You shall set up the tabernacle according to the way that it was shown to you on the mountain.

31 "You shall make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cherubim. The work of the skillful workman shall it be made.

32 You shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold; their hooks shall be of gold, on four sockets of silver.

33 You shall hang up the veil under the clasps, and shall bring the ark of the testimony in there within the veil: and the veil shall separate the holy place from the most holy for you.

34 You shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.

35 You shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and you shall put the table on the north side.

36 "You shall make a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer.

37 You shall make for the screen five pillars of acacia, and overlay them with gold: their hooks shall be of gold: and you shall cast five sockets of brass for them.
