3 Mose 6

Funda

   

1 Und Jehova redete zu Mose und sprach:

2 Gebiete Aaron und seinen Söhnen und sprich: Dies ist das Gesetz des Brandopfers. Dieses, das Brandopfer, soll auf seiner Feuerstelle sein, auf dem Altar, die ganze Nacht bis an den Morgen; und das Feuer des Altars soll auf demselben in Brand erhalten werden.

3 Und der Priester soll sein leinenes Kleid anziehen, und soll seine leinenen Beinkleider anziehen über sein Fleisch; und er soll die Fettasche abheben, wozu das Feuer das Brandopfer auf dem Altar verzehrt hat, und soll sie neben den Altar schütten. (W. setzen)

4 Und er soll seine Kleider ausziehen und andere Kleider anlegen und die Fettasche hinaustragen außerhalb des Lagers an einen reinen Ort.

5 Und das Feuer auf dem Altar soll auf demselben in Brand erhalten werden, es soll nicht erlöschen; und der Priester soll Holz auf ihm (d. h. dem Feuer) anzünden, Morgen für Morgen, und das Brandopfer auf ihm zurichten, und die Fettstücke der Friedensopfer auf ihm räuchern.

6 Ein beständiges Feuer soll auf dem Altar in Brand erhalten werden, es soll nicht erlöschen.

7 Und dies ist das Gesetz des Speisopfers: Einer der Söhne Aarons soll es vor Jehova darbringen vor dem Altar.

8 Und er soll davon seine Hand voll nehmen, (Eig. abheben) vom Feinmehl des Speisopfers und von dessen Öl, und allen Weihrauch, der auf dem Speisopfer ist, und es auf dem Altar räuchern: es ist ein lieblicher Geruch, sein (nämlich des Opfers; vergl. Kap. 2,2) Gedächtnisteil für Jehova.

9 Und das Übrige davon sollen Aaron und seine Söhne essen; ungesäuert soll es gegessen werden an heiligem Orte; im Vorhofe des Zeltes der Zusammenkunft sollen sie es essen.

10 Es soll nicht gesäuert gebacken werden; als ihren Anteil habe ich es ihnen gegeben von meinen Feueropfern: hochheilig ist es, wie das Sündopfer und wie das Schuldopfer.

11 Alles Männliche unter den Kindern Aarons soll es essen: ein für ewig Bestimmtes bei euren Geschlechtern von den Feueropfern Jehovas. Alles, was sie anrührt, wird heilig sein.

12 Und Jehova redete zu Mose und sprach:

13 Dies ist die Opfergabe Aarons und seiner Söhne, welche sie Jehova darbringen sollen an dem Tage, da er gesalbt wird: Ein zehntel Epha Feinmehl als beständiges Speisopfer, die Hälfte davon am Morgen und die Hälfte davon am Abend.

14 Es soll in der Pfanne mit Öl bereitet werden, eingerührt mit Öl sollst du es bringen; gebackene Speisopferstücke sollst du darbringen als einen lieblichen Geruch dem Jehova.

15 Und der Priester, der unter seinen Söhnen an seiner Statt gesalbt wird, soll es opfern; eine ewige Satzung: es soll dem Jehova ganz geräuchert werden.

16 Und jedes Speisopfer des Priesters soll ein Ganzopfer (ein Opfer, das ganz verbrannt wurde) sein; es soll nicht gegessen werden.

17 Und Jehova redete zu Mose und sprach:

18 ede zu Aaron und zu seinen Söhnen und sprich: Dies ist das Gesetz des Sündopfers. An dem Orte, wo das Brandopfer geschlachtet wird, soll das Sündopfer geschlachtet werden vor Jehova: hochheilig ist es.

19 Der Priester, der es als Sündopfer opfert, soll es essen; an heiligem Orte soll es gegessen werden, im Vorhofe des Zeltes der Zusammenkunft.

20 Alles, was sein Fleisch anrührt, wird heilig sein; und wenn von seinem Blute auf ein Kleid spritzt-das, worauf es spritzt, sollst du waschen an heiligem Orte.

21 Und das irdene Gefäß, in welchem es gekocht wird, soll zerbrochen werden, und wenn es in einem ehernen Gefäß gekocht wird, so soll dieses gescheuert und mit Wasser gespült werden.

22 Alles Männliche unter den Priestern soll es essen: hochheilig ist es.

23 Aber alles Sündopfer, von dessen Blut in das Zelt der Zusammenkunft gebracht wird, um im Heiligtum Sühnung zu tun, soll nicht gegessen werden; es soll mit Feuer verbrannt werden.

10133. 'A continual [offering]' means within all Divine worship. This is clear from the meaning of 'continual', when it refers to such things as belong to Divine worship, as all and within all. For the subject is purification from evils and falsities by means of the good of innocence, this good being meant by 'lambs' and purification from evils and consequent falsities by a burnt offering of them. This is called 'continual' because it must be present in all Divine worship. Therefore also the offering was presented twice each day, in the morning and in the evening; and offerings made morning and evening served in general to represent all worship and what must be present within all worship. The good of innocence must be in all good, and consequently in all truth, if they are to be goodness and truth that have life from the Divine within them, and so it must be within all worship. For all worship, to be worship, must spring from the good of love and from the truths of faith.

All of the Church's and of heaven's good has innocence within it, and without that innocence good is not good, nor therefore is worship worship, see 2736, 2780, 6013, 7840, 7887, 9262.

What innocence is, 3994, 4001, 4797, 5236, 6107, 6765, 7902, 9262, 9936, and the places referred to in 10021 (end).

[2] 'Continual' means all and within all - that is to say, the all of worship, and within all worship - because it is a term that has a temporal connotation and in heaven, where the Word is understood not in the natural but in the spiritual sense, people have no notions of time. Instead of periods of time they perceive the kinds of things that are states. By 'continual' at this point therefore they perceive a perpetual state within worship, thus the all of worship and within all worship. The same applies to all other terms in the Word which have temporal connotations, such as yesterday, today, tomorrow, two days, three days, daily, a week, a month, a year, also times of day and seasons of the year - morning, midday, evening, night, spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Therefore if the spiritual sense of the Word is to be understood, any idea of a period of time acquired from its natural sense, any idea of a place as well, indeed any idea of an actual person must be set aside, and states of things must be conceived of instead. From this it may be seen how perfect the Word is in its internal sense, and so how perfect is the perception of it by the angels in heaven, consequently how much more excellent angels' wisdom and understanding are than the understanding and wisdom of people in the world, who think with solely natural vision focused on the completely finite things of this world and planet. Regarding periods of time in heaven, that they are states, see 1274, 1382, 2625, 2788, 2837, 3254, 3356, 3404, 3827, 4814, 4882, 4901, 4916, 6110, 7218, 7381, 8070; and regarding what states are, 4850.

[3] From all this it is evident what the continual burnt offering of lambs means, and so what 'continual' and 'continually' mean elsewhere, as in the commands that 'the fire shall burn continually on the altar', Leviticus 6:13, and that 'the continual bread shall be on the table', Numbers 4:7. 'The fire' there and 'the bread' mean the good of love received from the Lord and offered back to Him. For 'the fire', that it has this meaning, see 4906, 5215, 6314, 6832, 6834, 6849, 7324, 7852, 10055; and also for 'the bread', 2165, 2177, 3478, 3735, 3813, 4211, 4217, 4735, 4976, 9323, 9545. In those places as well 'continual' means in addition that this good must be present in all worship; and the fact that the same good is the source from which the truth of faith must shine, as if from its fire, is meant by the decree that they were to cause a lamp to go up 1 continually, Exodus 27:20, 'a lamp' being the truth and good of faith, see 9548, 9783.

9051. 'Eye for eye' means if anything is injured by them in the inner part of the understanding. This is clear from the meaning of 'the eye' as the understanding, in this instance the inner part of it, the life of which is the life of faith. A person's understanding has an outer part and an inner part The outer part of his understanding is where thought that enters his awareness is, whereas the inner part is where thought that does not enter his awareness is, though it enters that of the angels. This part of the understanding is what the Lord enlightens when a person receives faith, for it exists in the light of heaven and holds within it a person's spiritual life. This is not made plainly evident to the person while in the world, but it is made so to that person in the next life when he becomes an angel among angels in heaven. In the meanwhile that life lies hidden within the thought belonging to the outer part of the understanding, producing there the holiness and reverence for the Lord, for love and faith in Him, for the Word, and for everything else that is the Church's. The reason why 'the eye' means the understanding is that the eye corresponds to the understanding; for the understanding sees in the light of heaven, but the eye sees in the light of the world. The things that the former eye, that is, the understanding, sees are spiritual, and its field of vision is the factual knowledge contained in the person's memory. But the things which the physical eye sees are earthly, and its field of vision consists in every object that appears in the world. Regarding 'the eye', that in the spiritual sense it means the understanding, and also faith since faith composes the life of the inner part of the understanding, see 2701, 4403-4421, 4523-4534.

[2] Anyone who does not know that 'the eye' is used in the Word to mean the understanding cannot know what the meaning is of the things which the Lord spoke concerning the eye in the Gospels, first of all these,

If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes, to be cast into the Gehenna of fire. Matthew 5:29; Mark 9:47.

Everyone recognizes that the eye should not be plucked out even if it does cause a person to stumble, and that no one enters the kingdom of God with only one eye. But 'the right eye' means falsity in a person's belief about the Lord; this is what must be plucked out. Then there are these things spoken by the Lord,

The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light. If your eye is evil your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! Matthew 6:22-23; Luke 11:34.

Nor is 'the eye' used here to mean the eye, but an understanding composed of the truth of faith. This is why the eye is called 'the lamp of the body' and why the Lord says, 'If the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!' For 'darkness' in the spiritual sense is falsities constituting faith, 1839, 1860, 4418, 4531, 7688, 7711.

[3] There are these words too spoken by Him,

Why do you notice the speck which is in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank that is in your own eye? Matthew 7:3-5.

'Noticing a speck in a brother's eye' means seeing something erroneous in a person's understanding of truth; 'the plank in one's own eye' is huge evil of falsity, since 'wood' in the internal sense means good and in the contrary sense evil, 643, 2784, 2812, 3720, 8354. Good is also represented in the next life by a plank, which is why those who pretend to have good within themselves are seen carrying a plank, walking in safety as they do so. If 'eye' and 'plank' did not have these meanings, would 'seeing a plank in an eye' have any meaning at all? If it is not known that 'eye' in the Word means the understanding of truth, which is faith, neither can it be known what is implied by the Lord's action when He healed the blind man,

He spat on the ground and made clay with His saliva, and said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam. John 9:6-7.

Since all the Lord's miracles, like all Divine miracles, had to do with those things that belong to the Lord's kingdom and the Church, 7337, 8364, so did this miracle too.
