I need in outline form, the O. T. types for the seven sacraments.

I do not need the chapters and verse, but only the most basic list.

THANKS!!!

I should know this, but my mind is not working.
 
this is what i could think of off the top of my head

Annointing of Solomon in the River Gihon which made him an adoptive son of God is a type of sorts to baptism

Circumsision => Baptism

Manna => Eucharist

The Todah => Eucharist (this ones a little obscure)
 
I looked at this one and didn’t reply a few days ago because I didn’t have all seven, but here goes:

Baptism: Ezekiel 36:25–“I will sprinkle clean water upon you to cleanse you from all your impurities, and from all your idols I will cleanse you.” (NAB)

The cure of Naaman in 2 Kings 5

Eucharist: in addition to the manna in the desert as a previous poster noted, we have the offering of bread and wine by Melchizedek in Genesis 14:18.

Penance/Reconciliation: King David’s sin, confession and forgiveness, but not without temporal punishment, in 2 Kings chapters 11 and 12. Also Psalm 32:5

**Holy Orders: **The ordination of Aaron and his sons in Leviticus 8.

Running out of time; I hope this is helpful.
 
confirmation is the Christian analog of bar /bas mitzvah. Each in their own way, is a ‘rite of passage’ into spiritual maturity, if it really meant that.

matrimony is pre-figured by Adam and Eve, along with the ten commandments, specifically against adultery.

The Ignatius Press 2nd Edition of the RSV - Catholic Edition has an interesting footnote about Genesis 1 and 2, particularly chap 1. It points out that this is not a scientific explanation of creation, but definitely a spiritual one, and a liturgical explanation.

Creation is thus an action of God, up to and including bringing a man and woman together into spiritual, marrital, ecclesial, and physical intimacy.

I’m reading Scott Hahn’s Swear to God, which is on the sacraments. I haven’t gotten to and/or haven’t absorbed any of his insights into that, as far as I’ve read.

I am on my second reading of Swear to God.

I have found it worth my time to read it two times.

Thanks!

Any ideas on Anointing of the Sick?

Thanks, again.
 
I might have missed them, I could use really explicit passages from the O. T. for Anointing of the Sick, and for Confirmation.’

THANKS!!!
 
Here is my attempt.

Please correct and give further help, thanks!

Baptism
Baptism Prefigured
Genesis 17: 10 This [is] my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; every man child among you shall be circumcised.

Genesis 21: 4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.

Ezekiel 36: 25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

I Peter 3: 19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 21 This prefigured baptism, which saves you now. It is not a removal of dirt from the body but an appeal to God for a clear conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers subject to him.

Holy Communion Prefigured
St. John 6: 58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

Exodus 16: 15 And when the children of Israel saw [it], they said one to another, It [is] manna: for they wist not what it [was]. And Moses said unto them, This [is] the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.

Genesis 14: 18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he [was] the priest of the most high God.

Confirmation Prefigures (somewhat)
1289 Very early, the better to signify the gift of the Holy Spirit, an anointing with perfumed oil (chrism) was added to the laying on of hands. This anointing highlights the name “Christian,” which means “anointed” and derives from that of Christ himself whom God “anointed with the Holy Spirit.” This rite of anointing has continued ever since, in both East and West. For this reason the Eastern Churches call this sacrament Chrismation, anointing with chrism, or myron which means “chrism.” In the West, the term Confirmation suggests that this sacrament both confirms and strengthens baptismal
grace.

Isaiah 11: 1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: 2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; 3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: 4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
 
Confession Prefigured
Leviticus 5: 5 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these [things], that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that [thing]: 6 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin. 7 And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.

Leviticus 4; 24 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD: it [is] a sin offering.

Matrimony Prefigured
Genesis 2: 18 And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. 19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought [them] unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that [was] the name thereof. 20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. 21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23 And Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Anointing of the Sick Prefigured
2 Kings 5: 10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. 11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper. 12 [Are] not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage. 13 And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, [if] the prophet had bid thee [do some] great thing, wouldest thou not have done [it]? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean? 14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. 15 And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that [there is] no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant.
 
Holy Orders Prefigured
Genesis 14: 18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he [was] the priest of the most high God. 19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed [be] Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: 20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.

Exodus 28: 1 And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office, [even] Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s sons. 2 And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty. 3 And thou shalt speak unto all [that are] wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron’s garments to consecrate him, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office.

Leviticus 8: 30 And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which [was] upon the altar, and sprinkled [it] upon Aaron, [and] upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons’ garments with him; and sanctified Aaron, [and] his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him. 31 And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire. 32 And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire. 33 And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation [in] seven days, until the days of your consecration be at an end: for seven days shall he consecrate you. 34 As he hath done this day, [so] the LORD hath commanded to do, to make an atonement for you. 35 Therefore shall ye abide [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the LORD, that ye die not: for so I am commanded. 36 So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
 
The Flood is a great typology of baptism:

Submersion of the world in water to cleanse it of its sins, followed by the dove descending on the ark.

This is fulfilled in:

Jesus’ submersion in the water of the Jordan signifying the taking on of our sins (and death), followed by the dove descending on Christ.

Which we repeat in the sacramental:

"Submersion" in water signifying death, the cleasing of our sin, and the descent of the dove (Holy Spirit) upon the one being baptized.

thanks!!!

I will add your ideas.

Also, I am still looking for much better passages for Confirmation and the Anointing of the Sick.

HELP!!!

thanks
 
I want to thank all of you who have given ideas.

I am presenting Hahn’s Swear to God DVD at our parish. I have read many of his books. I have read his Swear to God two times this year.

I thought it would be easy to find the typology for the sacraments, but I could not find it in any of my books. Baptism, Eucharits are really all over the place, but not the other five.

I am not a scholar, so I ran into many little problems.

COPLAND–any help?
 
I recommend Tim Gray’s Book, “The Sacraments in Scriptures”. In it, he details all the Sacraments as they are pre-figured in the OT, how they are revealed in the NT, and how they apply to us, today.

Here’s what he says about Anointing of the Sick.
In the Old Testament, healing from God often came by the hand of His prophets. Thus Naaman, the commander of the Syrian army and a leper, set out for Israel to receive healing from his illness. On arriving at the home of Elisha the prophet, he is instructed to wash seven times in the Jordan River. Upon coming out of the river, Naaman’s flesh “was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean” (2 Kings 5:14).
Click to expand...
When he returned to Elisha, Naaman aptly summarizes the ultimate goal of all healing, “Behold, I know that there is no God in all the earth but in Israel” (2 Kings 5:15).
Physical healing is intended to bring about spiritual renewal. It should be but an outward sign of the healing of our souls, thus bringing us into a deeper communion with God. Our bodies will eventually die and return to dust to await the bodily resurrection promised in Christ. Our souls, however, live forever; thus it is here in our spiritual lives that we must most desire healing. Elisha is but a type of Jesus Christ, the prophet who would come to bring the true healing of His people.

And here’s what Tim Gray says about Confirmation
Anointing with oil was the central rite of ordination to the priesthood in the Old Testament. Moses received the command from the Lord to anoint Aaron and his sons with oil. The consecration with oil, the anointing, imparted the office and mission of priest. The holy oil was such an important part of the priestly consecration that anointing with oil typically evokes images of the priesthood.
Click to expand...
Another example of anointing was signified by prophets anointing the kings of Israel. The prophet Samuel consecrated Saul as king of Israel by the anointing of oil. Samuel later anointed David as king and, with the anointing of oil, the Spirit of God came upon David: “Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of this brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon David from that day forward” (1 Sam. l 16:13).
Click to expand...
Priests, prophets, and kings, had an office of such magnitude and responsibility that they needed divine assistance, which was signified and effected by the anointing with oil. Anointing with oil imparted the Spirit of God to empower those commissioned to serve God in a special way.
