레위기 22장 거룩함을 유지하고 거룩한 음식을 거룩하게 먹어라

레위기 22장은 제사장과 그들 가족 그리고 백성들이 거룩한 음식을 어떻게 다뤄야 하는지에 대한 규정을 다루고 있습니다. 기승전 거룩하고 깨끗한 음식 그리고 나는 로드다. 계속 이런 식입니다.

 

 

 

나는 주인이다

1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2. "Speak to Aaron and his sons so that they abstain from the holy things of the people of Israel, which they dedicate to me, so that they do not profane my holy name: I am the Lord.

3. Say to them, 'If any one of all your offspring throughout your generations approaches the holy things that the people of Israel dedicate to the Lord, while he has an uncleanness, that person shall be cut off from my presence: I am the Lord.

4. None of the offspring of Aaron who has a leprous disease or a discharge may eat of the holy things until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean through contact with the dead or a man who has had an emission of semen,

5. and whoever thouches a swarming thing by which he may be

6. the person who touches such a thing shall be unclean until the evening and shall not eat of the holy things unless he has bathed his body in water.

7. When the sun goes down he shall be clean, and aferwards he may eat of the holy things, because they are his food.

8. He shall not eat what dies of itself or is torn by beasts, and so make himself unclean by it: I am the Lord.'

 

 

 

지속해서 거룩과 청결에 관한 지침이 나옵니다.

 

 

 거룩한 음식에 관하여

 

9. They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it and die thereby when they profane it: I am the Lord who sanctifies them.

 

 10. " A lay person shall not eat of a holy thing; no foreign guest of the priest or hired servant shall eat of a holy thing,

11. but if a priest buys a slave as his property for money, the slave may eat of it, and anyone born in his house may eat of his food.

 

 

12. If a priest's daughter marries a layman, she shall not eat of the contribution of the holy things.

13. But if a priest's daughter is widowed or divorced and has no child and returns to her father's house, as in her youth, she may eat of her father's food; yet no lay person shall eat of it.

14. And if anyone eats of a holy thing unintentionally, he shall add the fifth of its value to it and give the holy thing to the priest.

15. They shall not profane the holy things of the people of Israel, which they contribute to the Lord,

16. and so cause them to bear iniquity and guilt, by eating their holy things: for I am the Lord who sanctifies them."

 

음식 먹는 것 가지고도 격을 나누는 것 같은데요. 가만 보면 신분제는 하나님이 만들어 놓았나 싶어 보입니다. 거룩한 음식이 어떤 것인지는 모르겠으나 제사장집 노비는 먹을 수 있어도 그 외 다른 사람들은 먹을 수 없다고 합니다. 좀 치사하네요.

 

 깨끗한 것만 바쳐라

 

17. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

18. "Speak to Aaron and his sons and all the people of Israel and say to them, When any one of the house of Israel or of the sojourners in Israel presents a burnt offering as his offering, for any of their vows or freewill offerings that they offer to the Lord,

19. if it is to be accepted for you it shall be a male without blemish, of the bulls or the sheep or the goats.

20. You shall not offer anything that has a blemish, for it will not be acceptable for you.

21. And when anyone offers a sacrifice or peace offerings to the Lord to fulfil a vow or as a freewill offering from the herd or from the flock, to be accepted it must be perfect; there shall be no blemish in it.

22. Animals blind or disabled or mutilated or having a discharge or an itch or scabs you shall not offer to the Lord or give them to the Lord as a food offering on the altar.

23. You may present a bull or a lamb that has a part too long or too short for a freewill offering, but for a vow offering ir cannot be accepted.

 

 

24. Any animal that has its testicles bruised or creshed or torn or cut you shall not offer to the Lord; you shall not do it within your God any such animals obtained from a foreigner. Since there is a blemish in them, because of their mutilation, they will not be accepted for you."

 

당시에 무슨 불결한 음식 등의 문제로 전염병이라도 번진 걸까요? 창조주는 유독 깨끗한 것에 집착하는 것 같습니다. 아무래도 발달한 문명 국가에서 오셨기에 인간 세상이 미개하고 불결해 보여서 그런 것 같다는 생각이 듭니다. 

 

26. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 

27. "When an ox or sheep or goat is born, it shall remain for seven days with its mother, and from the eighth day on it shall be acceptable as a food offering to the Lord.

28. But you shall not kill an ox or a sheep and her young in one day.

29. And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Lord, you shall  sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.

30. It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until morning: I am the Lord.

 

  31. " So you shall keep my commandments and do them: I am the Lord.

32. And you shall not profane my holy name, that I may be sanctified among the people of Israel. I am the Lord who sanctifies you,

33. who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God: I am the Lord."
