Leviticus Chapter Twenty Two

 

1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

2 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name in those things which they hallow unto me: I am the Lord.

3 Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the Lord, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the Lord.

4 What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;

5 Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;

6 The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water.

7 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food.

8 That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith; I am the Lord.

9 They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the Lord do sanctify them.

10 There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.

11 But if the priest buy any soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat.

12 If the priest's daughter also be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.

13 But if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's meat: but there shall be no stranger eat thereof.

14 And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give it unto the priest with the holy thing.

15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the Lord;

16 Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the Lord do sanctify them.

17 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

18 Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto the Lord for a burnt offering;

19 Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.

20 But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.

21 And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the Lord to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.

22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto the Lord, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto the Lord.

23 Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.

24 Ye shall not offer unto the Lord that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make any offering thereof in your land.

25 Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes be in them: they shall not be accepted for you.

26 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

27 When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire unto the Lord.

28 And whether it be cow, or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day.

29 And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the Lord, offer it at your own will.

30 On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morrow: I am the Lord.

31 Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the Lord.

32 Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the Lord which hallow you,

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

 

 

Esoteric Interpretation & Commentary

 

The Hermetic Blueprint of Leviticus Chapter Twenty-Two: The Assimilation of Light and the Unblemished Will 

"Leviticus Chapter Twenty-Two establishes the rigorous Laws governing how the Higher Faculties absorb Spiritual Vitality. The Sovereign Will Demands that the Conscious Intellect approach the Divine Light only in a state of Absolute Purity. Furthermore, it dictates that all Magickal Intentions offered to The All must be Completely Free of Egoic blemishes, ensuring the Inner Temple remains Perfectly Sanctified."

 

 

Verses 1-9: The Separation from Holy Things and Energetic Contamination - "Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things... whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence..." 

The priests represent the Higher Faculties of the Mind. They are warned not to assimilate Pure Spiritual Vitality (the Holy Things) while in a state of uncleanness—meaning while harboring lower Ego, toxic Emotions, or unrefined Karmic debris. To force the absorption of High-Frequency Divine Light into a polluted Mental vessel profanes the Energy and causes a disastrous short-circuit, permanently cutting that specific Conscious Faculty off from the Superconscious Source.

 

 

Verses 10-16: The Stranger and the Assimilation of Energy - "There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing. But if the priest buy any soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house..." 

A stranger or hired servant Esoterically represents fleeting, uncommitted Thoughts, mundane logic, or temporary external influences. These superficial elements cannot absorb or comprehend High Spiritual Energy. However, a Soul "bought with money" or "born in his house" represents Deeply Integrated, Permanent Faculties forged through intense Magickal labor and Internal Generation. Only these permanent, dedicated fixtures of the Higher Mind possess the Energetic capacity to sustain and assimilate True Divine Illumination.

 

Verses 17-25: The Unblemished Sacrifice and Perfect Intention - "Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons... whatsoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows... Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats. But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer..." 

The sacrifices represent the Active Will, Spiritual Intentions, and concentrated Focus offered to The All. A blemish signifies a hidden selfish motive, a fractured focus, or a lower Egoic desire secretly mixed with a Spiritual goal. The Superconscious Source completely rejects any flawed or hybridized Intention. The Great Work demands that all Energy directed upward be Entirely Pure, Assertive (male), and Single-Minded, free from the distortions of the lower Psyche.

 

Verses 26-33: The Maturation of Energy and the Sanctification of the Microcosm - "When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering... Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD. Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel..." 

A newborn animal remaining Seven days with its mother represents the absolute necessity of Gestation for new Spiritual impulses. A fresh Idea, newly generated Emotion, or profound Insight must complete a Full Internal Cycle (Seven Days) to stabilize within the Subconscious before it can be effectively Transmuted or acted upon by the Conscious Will on the Eighth Day. The Sovereign Will concludes by demanding Absolute Reverence for these Internal mechanics, ensuring the Entire Microcosm remains a Perfectly Sanctified, Living Vessel for the Divine Light.
