Zakuska Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) I was reading this the other night and realized that where the smoke is...Lev 1612 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the Lord, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail:13 And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not:14 And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.Is exactly where the Lord was said to appear.Leviticus 16:22 And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.Could the Ark of the covenant have been some sort of Holographic projector?

mfbukowski Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) On the other "hand" --sorry ---There's this to considerLev 1612 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the Lord, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail:One of our readers, Dr. Kathy Larsen, pointed out a scripture yesterday that intrigued me. It is Leviticus 21:10: And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes;There is a footnote on the second instance of the word “that” in our LDS King James Version. The footnote reads “HEB (literally) whose hand is filled; i.e. who is equipped, or authorized.” This means that the original Hebrew would have read something like, “and whose hand is filled to put on the garments.” Apparently the word translated as “consecrated” came from a Hebrew phrase for “a filled hand” or “a full hand.”http://www.templestu...hand-in-hebrew/See also: http://www.ancientam...catalog_id=1346Andhttp://www.mormonmon...rg/PDF/hand.pdfThe second and third links are substantially the same, but the pdf has illustrations which really help see the connection between the hand and incense Edited September 10, 2011 by mfbukowski
