1 Och om någon vill bära fram ett tackoffer, och han vill taga sitt offer av fäkreaturen, så skall han ställa fram inför HERRENS ansikte ett felfritt djur, antingen av hankön eller av honkön.

2 Och han skall lägga sin hand på sitt offerdjurs huvud och sedan slakta det vid ingången till uppenbarelsetältet; och Arons söner, prästerna, skola stänka blodetaltaret runt omkring.

3 Och av tackoffret skall han såsom eldsoffer åt Herren bära fram det fett som omsluter inälvorna, och allt det fett som sitter på inälvorna,

4 och båda njurarna med det fett som sitter på dem invid länderna, så ock leverfettet, vilket han skall frånskilja invid njurarna.

5 Och Arons söner skola förbränna det på altaret, ovanpå brännoffret, på veden som ligger på elden: ett eldsoffer till en välbehaglig lukt för Herren.

6 Men om någon vill bära fram åt HERREN ett tackoffer av småboskapen, så skall han därtill taga ett felfritt djur, av hankön eller av honkön.

7 Om det är ett får som han vill offra, så skall han ställa fram det inför HERRENS ansikte.

8 Och han skall lägga sin hand på sitt offerdjurs huvud och sedan slakta det framför uppenbarelsetältet; och Arons söner skola stänka dess blodaltaret runt omkring.

9 Och av tackoffersdjuret skall han såsom eldsoffer åt HERREN offra dess fett, hela svansen, frånskild invid ryggraden, och det fett som omsluter inälvorna, och allt det fett som sitter på inälvorna,

10 och båda njurarna med det fett som sitter på dem invid länderna, så ock leverfettet, vilket han skall frånskilja invid njurarna.

11 Och prästen skall förbränna det på altaret: en eldsoffersspis åt HERREN.

12 Likaledes, om någon vill offra en get, så skall han ställa fram denna inför HERRENS ansikte.

13 Och han skall lägga sin hand på dess huvud och sedan slakta den framför uppenbarelsetältet; och Arons söner skola stänka dess blodaltaret runt omkring.

14 Och han skall därav såsom eldsoffer åt HERREN offra det fett som omsluter inälvorna, och allt det fett som sitter på inälvorna,

15 och båda njurarna med det fett som sitter på dem invid länderna, så ock leverfettet, vilket han skall frånskilja invid njurarna.

16 Och prästen skall förbränna detta på altaret: en eldsoffersspis, till en välbehaglig lukt. Allt fettet skall tillhöra HERREN.

17 Detta skall vara en evärdlig stadga för eder från släkte till släkte, var I än ären bosatta: intet fett och intet blod skolen I förtära.

10071. 'And the tail' means all truth there. This is clear from the meaning of 'the ram's tail' as truth. 'The tail' means truth because it comes last, and truth resides in last or lowest things, 9959 1 . The tail is also the last part of the cerebrum and cerebellum, for these extend into the spinal cord, and this also terminates in the tail, which is for that reason the appendage at the end of all three. Therefore Leviticus 3:9 says that in sacrifices the tail should be removed next to the backbone. The fact that 'the tail' means truth in last or lowest things, and in the contrary sense falsity, is clear from the following places: In Isaiah,

Jehovah will cut off from Israel head and tail. The old and the honourable [in face] is the head, but the prophet, the teacher of a lie, is the tail. Isaiah 9:14-15.

In the spiritual sense 'cutting off head and tail' means severing good and truth; for the subject is the Church, and when this has been laid waste 'the head' means evil and 'the tail' falsity. 'The head' means good, see 4938, 4939, 5328, 9913, 9914, as does 'the old', 6524, 9404; and 'the prophet' means a teacher of truth, and so in the abstract sense [without reference to persons] truth itself, 2534, 7269. In the contrary sense therefore 'the head' means evil, as do 'the old' and 'the honourable' who will perform it, while 'the tail' means falsity, as does 'the prophet', who is for that reason called 'the prophet of a lie'; for 'a lie' means falsity. In the same prophet,

There will not be for Egypt [any] work which the head and tail may do. Isaiah 19:15.

'Egypt' stands for those who, desiring to enter into the truths and forms of the good of faith, use reasonings based on factual knowledge, and not on revealed truths, thus not on belief in these, 1164, 1165, 1186. The lack of 'work which the head and tail may do' stands for the fact that they have neither good nor truth. The fact that 'the tail' means truth in last or lowest things is evident from its meaning in the contrary sense, in which 'the tail' means falsity. In John,

The locusts had tails like scorpions, and stings were in their tails, and they had power to harm people. Revelation 9:10.

'Tails like scorpions, and stings in their tails' are cunning reasonings based on falsities which they use to convince and thereby damage someone, which is why it says that they had power to harm people. Furthermore falsity in outermost things is meant by 'locust', see 7643. In the same book,

The horses' tails were like serpents, having heads; and by means of them they do harm. Revelation 9:19.

'Tails like serpents' here also stands for reasonings based on falsities which are used to cause harm. In the same book,

The dragon's tail drew a third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them down to the earth. Revelation 12:4.

'The dragon's tail' stands for truths that have been falsified, in particular through the application of them to evils; 'the stars' are cognitions or knowledge of truth and good which has been falsified; and 'casting them down to the earth' means destroying them.

Isaiah第36章

学习

   

1 Now it happened in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked all of the fortified cities of Judah, and captured them.

2 The king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem to king Hezekiah with a large army. He stood by the aqueduct from the upper pool in the fuller's field highway.

3 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder came out to him.

4 Rabshakeh said to them, "Now tell Hezekiah, 'Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria, "What confidence is this in which you trust?

5 I say that your counsel and strength for the war are only vain words. Now in whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me?

6 Behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt, which if a man leans on it, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him.

7 But if you tell me, 'We trust in Yahweh our God,' isn't that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, 'You shall worship before this altar?'"

8 Now therefore, please make a pledge to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders on them.

9 How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?

10 Have I come up now without Yahweh against this land to destroy it? Yahweh said to me, "Go up against this land, and destroy it."'"

11 Then Eliakim, Shebna and Joah said to Rabshakeh, "Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it; and don't speak to us in the Jews' language in the hearing of the people who are on the wall."

12 But Rabshakeh said, "Has my master sent me only to your master and to you, to speak these words, and not to the men who sit on the wall, who will eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?"

13 Then Rabshakeh stood, and called out with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and said, "Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria!

14 Thus says the king, 'Don't let Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you.

15 Don't let Hezekiah make you trust in Yahweh, saying, "Yahweh will surely deliver us. This city won't be given into the hand of the king of Assyria."'

16 Don't listen to Hezekiah, for thus says the king of Assyria, 'Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and each of you eat from his vine, and each one from his fig tree, and each one of you drink the waters of his own cistern;

17 until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.

18 Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, "Yahweh will deliver us." Have any of the gods of the nations delivered their lands from the hand of the king of Assyria?

19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? Have they delivered Samaria from my hand?

20 Who are they among all the gods of these countries that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Yahweh should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?'"

21 But they remained silent, and said nothing in reply, for the king's commandment was, "Don't answer him."

22 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
