1.1 Præfatio Hebraice VAIICRA ISICHIUS in Levit. Liber iste Leviticus dicitur quia scilicet in hoc nomine totius libri argumentum manifestatur. Tribus Levi tabernaculi ministerium sortita est, in quo sacrificia, et primitias, et primogenitorum oblationes offerri præceptum est, quia omnia sacrificia ad Levitas pertinent Num. 18.. A quibus liber iste congruum sortitus est nomen, qui hæc omnia digerit per ordinem. Latine Offertorius vel sacrificativus dicitur, quia de sacrificiis et cæremoniis agit. Hic bene post Exodum ponitur: in eo enim tabernaculum ordinatur, in hoc ea continentur quæ Dominus Moysi de tabernaculo loquebatur, et tabernaculi cæremoniæ. Si quis autem quærat quare libri legis divisi sunt, cum historia tempore indivisa sit, respondendum est: ut fastidium scilicet lectori auferret librorum divisio, sicut et viæ spatia dividit viator, ut tanquam divisus minuatur labor. Rabanus ab Isichio Hierosolymorum episcopo, qui Leviticum satis plene exposuit, multa collegit, et ab aliis quoque Patribus, qui ejus aliquas sententias exposuerunt, quædam operi suo apposuit, et ex confuso sententiarum ordine quemdam expositionis ordinem multorum doctorum sententias alternando composuit. ISICHIUS in Levit. Præ omnibus necesse est interpretationem legis ad anagogen trahi, et spiritualem intelligentiam in littera prescrutari. Hoc enim non contradicit legi, sed eam defendit. Spiritualem quippe intellectum diligenter esse inquirendum etiam ipse Christus ostendit, qui in parabolis suis Matth. 13. agrum, mundum; agricolam seminantem semen bonum, justos; zizania, malignos; messores quoque, angelos; et inimicum superseminantem, diabolum appellavit. Quis ergo vetat bovem eum qui operatur justitiam, appellare; sicut ovem, simplicem; et innocentem, columbam: et turturem sublimius agentes et contemplationi vacantes? Nunquid non Ezechiel Hierusalem leænam dixit: et catulum ejus, Eliachim, qui ductus est in Ægyptum, et alium catulum Joachim in Babylonem ductum? Ezech. 19. Non solum quæ in parabolis dicta sunt, sed et quæ secundum historiam sunt, ad sublimiorem ducenda esse intellectum Paulus ostendit, dicens: Scriptum est quoniam Abraham habuit duos filios, etc.; post quæ addidit: Quæ sunt secundum allegoriam dicta: hæc enim sunt duo Testamenta, etc. Gal. 4.. Fortassis autem noxia erit littera spoliata spirituali intelligentia, et variis reprehensionibus obnoxia. Unde per Ezechielem et bonam legem, et non bonam Dominus appellat, dicens: Dedi eis præcepta mea, et judicia mea ostendi eis, quæ faciat homo et vivat in eis. Et alibi: Dedi eis mandata non bona, et judicia in quibus non vivant. Patet ergo bona esse et non bona; et in quibus vivant et in quibus non vivant: qui enim custodit sanctum Spiritum, vivit in eis; qui autem secundum carnem, moritur, quia vitam non cognoscit in eis. Deinde legislator non semper, sed certo tempore voluit custodiri legis superficiem, ut reprimeret duram Judæorum cervicem; unde: Scio quod populus iste duræ cervicis sit Exod. 32.; Osee autem vocat Judæos vitulam consternantem, quæ scilicet nullo modo domatur. Et alibi: Ephraim vitula docta diligere trituram, transivi super pulchritudinem colli ejus Osee. 10.; in quo obedientia significatur. Jugum enim legis imposuit, ut humiliati libenter susciperent leve et suave jugum Evangelii Matth. 12.. ORIG., homil. 1, in Levit. Si secundum quosdam etiam nostrorum simplicem intellectum sequamur, et absque ulla, ut ipsi nos ridere solent, stropha verbi et allegoriæ nubilo vocem legislatoris excipiamus, ego ecclesiasticus sub fide Christi vivens, et in medio Ecclesiæ positus, ad sacrificandum vitulos vel agnos, et ad offerendam similam cum thure et oleo, divini præcepti auctoritate compellor: ipse ergo Dominus, ipse Spiritus sanctus deprecandus est, ut omnem nebulam peccati quæ visum cordis nostri obscurat, auferre dignetur, ut spiritualem intelligentiam intueamur, secundum illud: Revela oculos meos et considerabo mirabilia, etc. Psal. 118.. ISID. Omnis hostiarum diversitas Christi hostiam præfigurabat. Unde, veritate oblata, cessavit umbra I Cor. 15., verum sacrificium veri et æterni sacerdotis præfigurans. Ideo autem hostiis animalium propter emundationem oblatis, una vera hostia Christi promittebatur, in qua fieret remissio peccatorum contractorum de carne et sanguine, qui regnum Dei non possidebunt: quia substantia corporalis in cœlestem mutabitur qualitatem. Christus in vitulo propter virtutem crucis offerebatur; in agno, propter innocentiam; in ariete, propter principatum; in hirco, propter similitudinem carnis peccati; in turture et columba, quia Deus et homo. Mediator enim Dei et hominum in duarum substantiarum conjunctione monstrabatur; in similaginis conspersione, credentium per aquam baptismi collectam esse Ecclesiam, id est corpus Christi, ostendebatur. Nos autem moraliter offerimus vitulum, cum carnis superbiam vincimus; agnum, cum irrationabiles motus corrigimus; hædum, cum lasciviam superamus; columbam, dum simplices sumus; turturem, dum casti sumus, vel dum castitatem servamus; panes azymos, cum non in fermento malitiæ, sed in azymis sinceritatis et veritatis epulamur. RAB. Singula sacrificia, imo singulas pene syllabas, et vestes Aaron, et totum Leviticum ordinem cœlestia dicit spirare sacramenta. Origenes quoque ait: Quia sicut in novissimis diebus Verbum Dei ex Maria virgine carne vestitum processit in mundum; cujus caro ab omnibus videbatur, divinitas paucis et electis cognita tegebatur: sic verbum Dei per prophetas profertur ad homines, ibi carnis, hic litteræ velamine tectum. Littera tanquam caro aspicitur: spiritualis sensus tanquam divinitas sentitur. Vocavit, etc. ISICH. in Levit. Per conjunctionem sequentia jungit præcedentibus; initium, scilicet libri hujus cum fine præcedentis: unius enim et ejusdem diei opus in utroque continetur. Liber quoque Numeri, quia nihil habet medium inter se et Leviticum, simile sortitur proœmium; hoc est: Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen in deserto Sinai, etc. Num. 1.. Nihil ergo post historiam Levitici ante historiam Numeri populus egit: neque enim locum mutaverat, quia necdum tabernaculum dedicaverat, nec multum temporis præterierat. In primo quippe mense secundi anni, ejusdem mensis initio agere cœperunt. In Exodo autem et Genesi, quia multum temporis medium, mortis Joseph et egressionis filiorum Isræl, fluxerat, conjunctio non obtinet principium, sed opportunum dispensationi eorum dispensatur exordium: Hæc sunt nomina filiorum Isræl, qui ingressi sunt Ægyptum. ISICH. Secundum 70. Revocavit. Sicut secundum eos revocavit Deus Beseleel ex nomine, quando præcepit fieri tabernaculum secundum figuram, quæ ostensa est in monte: ergo et nunc quamdam sacrificiorum intelligibilium imaginem describere præcepit; hæc revocatio quippe quamdam dispensationem rerum vel verborum ad superiora respicientium innuit. ORIG. hom. 1 in Levit. Vocavit autem, etc. In principio, etc., usque ad qui ad hæc audienda interiores aures afferunt mundas. ISICH. in Levit. Quod non diligat Deus Judæorum sacrificia, etc., usque ad et aperte hæc vocatio dispensationem verborum vel rerum respicientium ad superiora innuit. ORIG. homil. 1 Exod. Hominem quem primo posuit ad offerendum Domino, etc., usque ad sacrificium quoque duplex est quod et terrestria et cœlestia salvet. ID., ibid.

1.1 Præfatio Hebraice VAIICRA ISICHIUS in Levit. Liber this Leviticus it_is_said because scilicet in this nomine totius libri argumentum manifestatur.

When/But_if who/any however quærat quare libri legis divisi are, when/with historia tempore indivisa let_it_be, respondendum it_is: as fastidium scilicet lectori auferret librorum divisio, like and viæ spatia dividit viator, as tanquam divisus minuatur labor.

ISICHIUS in Levit. Præ to_all necesse it_is interpretationem legis to anagogen trahi, and spiritualem intelligentiam in littera prescrutari. This because not/no contradicit legi, but her defendit. Spiritualem quippe intellectum diligenter esse inquirendum also exactly_that/himself Christus ostendit, who in parabolis to_his_own Matth. 13. agrum, the_world; agricolam seminantem seed bonum, justos; zizania, malignos; messores quoque, angelos; and inimicum superseminantem, diabolum appellavit.

Fortassis however noxia will_be littera spoliata spirituali intelligentia, and variis reprehensionibus obnoxia.

And alibi: Dedi to_them mandata not/no bona, and yudicia in to_whom not/no vivant.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

1:1 The Lord called to Moses from the Tabernacle: Leviticus is part of the ongoing narrative of the Pentateuch (Gen 1:1Deut 34:12). It is part of the history of God’s saving acts: God chose Israel to be his people, delivered them from slavery in Egypt, entered into a covenant relationship with them, and guided them through the desert to the Promised Land. Specifically, Leviticus picks up with events recorded in Exod 40:34-38, when construction of the Tabernacle is completed. It has been dedicated, and the Lord has filled it with his glory. Now the Lord gives Moses instructions for conducting worship at the Tabernacle.
• The Tabernacle (literally Tent of Meeting; see study note on Exod 27:21) was an earthly representation of God’s palace. Inside the Most Holy Place, the Ark of the Covenant represented God’s throne (Exod 40:1-33). The Lord’s glory resided between the outstretched wings of the cherubim. There he would meet with Israel to communicate his will to them (see Exod 25:22).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

מֵ⁠אֹ֥הֶל מוֹעֵ֖ד

from,tent meeting

The author of Leviticus is using the possessive to describe Yahweh's meeting with Moses (and, by extension, the whole people) within the physical location of the tent. If this is not clear in your language, you could use an adjective that better describes the locale of divine presence. Alternative translation: “from the tent where Yahweh met with Moses and lived among the Israelites”

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

לֵ⁠אמֹֽר

to=say

The word translated as saying introduces a direct quotation. In your translation, consider ways in which you might introduce this quotation naturally in your language. Alternate Translation: "and he said"
