1 Esta é a lei da oferta pela culpa: coisa santíssima é.

2 No lugar em que imolam o holocausto, imolarão a oferta pela culpa, e o sangue dela se espargirá sobre o altar em redor.

3 Dela se oferecerá toda a gordura: a cauda gorda, e a gordura que cobre a fressura,

4 os dois rins e a gordura que está sobre eles, e a que está junto aos lombos, e o redenho sobre o fígado, juntamente com os rins, os tirará;

5 e o sacerdote os queimará sobre o altar em oferta queimada ao Senhor; é uma oferta pela culpa.

6 Todo varão entre os sacerdotes comerá dela; num lugar santo se comerá; coisa santíssima é.

7 Como é a oferta pelo pecado, assim será a oferta pela culpa; há uma só lei para elas, a saber, pertencerá ao sacerdote que com ela houver feito expiação.

8 Também o sacerdote que oferecer o holocausto de alguém terá para si o couro do animal que tiver oferecido.

9 Igualmente toda oferta de cereais que se assar ao forno, como tudo o que se preparar na frigideira e na assadeira, pertencerá ao sacerdote que a oferecer.

10 Também toda oferta de cereais, seja ela amassada com azeite, ou seja seca, pertencerá a todos os filhos de Arão, tanto a um como a outro.

11 Esta é a lei do sacrifício das ofertas pacíficas que se oferecerá ao Senhor:

12 Se alguém o oferecer por oferta de ação de graças, com o sacrifício de ação de graças oferecerá bolos ázimos amassados com azeite, e coscorões ázimos untados com azeite, e bolos amassados com azeite, de flor de farinha, bem embebidos.

13 Com os bolos oferecerá pão levedado como sua oferta, com o sacrifício de ofertas pacíficas por ação de graças.

14 E dele oferecerá um de cada oferta por oferta alçada ao Senhor, o qual pertencerá ao sacerdote que espargir o sangue da oferta pacífica.

15 Ora, a carne do sacrifício de ofertas pacíficas por ação de graças se comerá no dia do seu oferecimento; nada se deixará dela até pela manhã.

16 Se, porém, o sacrifício da sua oferta for voto, ou oferta voluntária, no dia em que for oferecido se comerá, e no dia seguinte se comerá o que dele ficar;

17 mas o que ainda ficar da carne do sacrifício até o terceiro dia será queimado no fogo.

18 Se alguma parte da carne do sacrifício da sua oferta pacífica se comer ao terceiro dia, aquele sacrifício não será aceito, nem será imputado àquele que o tiver oferecido; coisa abominável será, e quem dela comer levará a sua iniqüidade.

19 A carne que tocar alguma coisa imunda não se comerá; será queimada no fogo; mas da outra carne, qualquer que estiver limpo comerá dela;

20 todavia, se alguma pessoa, estando imunda, comer a carne do sacrifício da oferta pacífica, que pertence ao Senhor, essa pessoa será extirpada do seu povo.

21 E, se alguma pessoa, tendo tocado alguma coisa imunda, como imundícia de homem, ou gado imundo, ou qualquer abominação imunda, comer da carne do sacrifício da oferta pacífica, que pertence ao Senhor, essa pessoa será extirpada do seu povo.

22 Depois disse o Senhor a Moisés:

23 Fala aos filhos de Israel, dizendo: Nenhuma gordura de boi, nem de carneiro, nem de cabra comereis.

24 Todavia pode-se usar a gordura do animal que morre por si mesmo, e a gordura do que é dilacerado por feras, para qualquer outro fim; mas de maneira alguma comereis dela.

25 Pois quem quer que comer da gordura do animal, do qual se oferecer oferta queimada ao Senhor, sim, a pessoa que dela comer será extirpada do seu povo.

26 E nenhum sangue comereis, quer de aves, quer de gado, em qualquer das vossas habitações.

27 Toda pessoa que comer algum sangue será extirpada do seu povo.

28 Disse mais o Senhor a Moisés:

29 Fala aos filhos de Israel, dizendo: Quem oferecer sacrifício de oferta pacífica ao Senhor trará ao Senhor a respectiva oblação da sua oferta pacífica.

30 Com as próprias mãos trará as ofertas queimadas do Senhor; o peito com a gordura trará, para movê-lo por oferta de movimento perante o Senhor.

31 E o sacerdote queimará a gordura sobre o altar, mas o peito pertencerá a Arão e a seus filhos.

32 E dos sacrifícios das vossas ofertas pacíficas, dareis a coxa direita ao sacerdote por oferta alçada.

33 Aquele dentre os filhos de Arão que oferecer o sangue da oferta pacífica, e a gordura, esse terá a coxa direita por sua porção;

34 porque o peito movido e a coxa alçada tenho tomado dos filhos de Israel, dos sacrifícios das suas ofertas pacíficas, e os tenho dado a Arão, o sacerdote, e a seus filhos, como sua porção, para sempre, da parte dos filhos de Israel.

35 Esta é a porção sagrada de Arão e a porção sagrada de seus filhos, das ofertas queimadas do Senhor, desde o dia em que ele os apresentou para administrar o sacerdócio ao Senhor;

36 a qual o Senhor, no dia em que os ungiu, ordenou que se lhes desse da parte dos filhos de Israel; é a sua porção para sempre, pelas suas gerações.

37 Esta é a lei do holocausto, da oferta de cereais, da oferta pelo pecado, da oferta pela culpa, da oferta das consagrações, e do sacrifício das ofertas pacíficas;

38 a qual o Senhor entregou a Moisés no monte Sinai, no dia em que este estava ordenando aos filhos de Israel que oferecessem as suas ofertas ao Senhor, no deserto de Sinai.

1159. And all things fat and splendid have departed from thee.- That this signifies that all goods and truths, and things auspicious and magnificent, which they have persuaded themselves, they would be able to acquire by means of that religion, are changed into the contrary, is evident from the signification of fat things, which denote goods and auspicious things therefrom, of which we shall speak presently; and from the signification of things splendid, which denote truths and things magnificent therefrom. The reason why this is the signification of things splendid, is, that splendour is the result of light, and the light of heaven is Divine Truth or Divine Wisdom, which is the cause of all things in the heavens shining with a splendour unknown in the world. It may be compared with the brilliancy of a diamond turned to the sun, but the splendour seen in heaven far exceeds this, just as the light of heaven exceeds the light of the world, the difference between which is so great, that while it may be illustrated by comparisons, yet it cannot be described. All the magnificent things of heaven, exist from that light, and these chiefly consist of forms corresponding to wisdom, which are such that in the world they can neither be pictured nor described. For in them art itself is in its art, and science is in its wisdom, consequently they are of ineffable beauty. It is evident from these facts why things splendid signify truths and thence things magnificent.

[2] The reason why fat things signify goods and auspicious things therefrom, is, that the fat is the best part of flesh, and that it is like oil, which signifies the good of love. That fatness signifies good and those things that belong to it, thus happiness and joys, is clear from the following passages in the Word.

In Isaiah:

"Attending attend unto me, eat ye good, that your soul may be delighted in fatness" (55:2).

To eat good signifies to appropriate good to themselves; thence by delighting in fatness is signified to be in a state of happiness and blessedness.

In Jeremiah:

"I will fill the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with good" (31:14).

Here also fatness signifies happiness and blessing from the good of love.

In David:

"My soul shall be satisfied with fat and fatness, and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips" (Psalm 63:5).

The soul being satisfied with fat and fatness, signifies to be filled with the good of love and with joy therefrom. To praise with joyful lips signifies to worship by means of truths which gladden the mind.

Again:

"Thy houses shall be filled with fatness, and thou shalt cause them to drink of the stream of delights" (Psalm 36:8).

The fatness with which the houses shall be filled, signifies the good of love, and happiness therefrom, houses denoting things pertaining to the mind. The river of the delights, of which they shall drink, signifies intelligence and happiness therefrom.

[3] In Isaiah:

"In this mountain shall Jehovah Zebaoth make to all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wine on the lees, of fat things full of marrow and of wine on the lees well refined" (25:6).

These things are said concerning the state of those who would acknowledge and adore the Lord. By that mountain is signified a new church from them; by the feast of fat things, of fat things full of marrow, is signified good both natural and spiritual with joy of heart; and by the lees, lees well refined, are signified truths from that good with the happiness therefrom.

In the same prophet:

"Jehovah shall give the rain of thy seed, with which thou shalt sow the earth, and bread of the produce of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous" (30:23).

The rain of seed signifies the multiplication of truth; and bread of produce the fructification of good. By fat and plenteous is signified good and truth with all its satisfaction and happiness.

In David:

"As yet they shall have increase in old age, they shall be fat and green, to show that Jehovah is right" (Psalm 92:14, 15).

To be fat and green signifies to be in goods and truths of doctrine.

Again:

"Jehovah shall remember all thy offerings and shall make fat thy burnt offering" (Psalm 20:3).

By offerings and burnt offering is signified worship, and by making it fat is signified that it is from the good of love.

The signification of fatness in Ezekiel 34:3; Genesis 27:39, and elsewhere is similar. Because fat and fatness signify the good of love, and because all worship, which is truly worship, must be from the good of love, therefore it was a law that all the fat in the sacrifices should be burnt upon the altar (Exodus 29:13, 22; Leviticus 1:8; 3:3-16; 4:8-35; 7:3, 4, 30, 31; 17:6; Numbers 18:17, 18); for the sacrifices and burnt offerings signified worship.

[4] Since the Jews and Israelites were only in external worship, and not at the same time in internal worship, and not therefore in any good of love, or in any good of charity and faith, they were therefore prohibited from eating fat and blood, and it was a law that if they ate these, they should be cut off (Leviticus 3:17; 7:23, 25). But to those who are in internal worship, and thence in external worship - as those will be who shall belong to the Lord's New Church - it is said, that they shall eat fat to fulness, and drink blood to drunkenness (ebrietas) (Ezekiel 39:19). Fat there signifies all the good of heaven and of the church, and blood all the truth of these. In the opposite sense the fat ones signify those who loathe good and who utterly despise and reject it (Deuteronomy 32:15; Jeremiah 5:28; 50:11; Psalm 17:10; 20:4; 68:31; 119:70; and elsewhere).

[5] Continuation.- Such, however, is not the lot of those who are continually evil, for these are in hell according to the loves of their life. There they think, and from their thought, speak, although they utter falsities; they also will, and, from their will they act, although their actions are evil. They appear, moreover to one another as men, although in the light of heaven they are of a monstrous form. It is therefore evident, why it is in accordance with a law of order relating to reformation, and called a law of Divine Providence, that a man is admitted into the truths of faith and the goods of love, only so far as he can be withheld from evils and kept in goods to the end of his life and that it is better that he should be always evil, than that he should be good and afterwards evil; for in this case he becomes profane. The Lord, who both provides and foresees all things, for this reason conceals the operations of His Providence, and to such a degree that man scarcely knows whether there is any providence at all. He permits him rather to attribute ordinary events to prudence, and contingencies to fortune, and even to ascribe many things to nature, rather than that, through any striking and manifest signs of the Divine Providence and Presence, he should plunge unreasonably into the midst of holy things in which he would not remain. The Lord also permits similar things in accordance with other laws of His Providence, namely, that man should enjoy freedom, and that in all that he does he should act according to reason, thus entirely as if from himself. For it is better that he should ascribe the operations of the Divine Providence to prudence and fortune, than that he should acknowledge them, and still live as a devil. From these facts it is evident that the laws of permission, which are numerous, proceed from the laws of Providence.
