Studie

   

1 你使亞倫和他兒子成聖,給我供祭司的職分,要如此行:取隻公牛犢,兩隻無殘疾的公綿

2 無酵餅和調無酵餅,與抹無酵薄餅;這都要用細麥麵做成。

3 這餅要裝在個筐子裡,連筐子帶來,又把公牛和兩隻公綿牽來。

4 要使亞倫和他兒子到會幕口來,用身。

5 要給亞倫穿上內袍和以弗得的外袍,並以弗得,又帶上胸牌,束上以弗得巧工織的帶子。

6 把冠冕戴在他上,將冠加在冠冕上,

7 就把倒在他他。

8 要叫他的兒子來,給他們穿上內袍。

9 亞倫和他兒子束上腰帶,包上裹頭巾,他們就憑永遠的定例得了祭司的職任。又要將亞倫和他兒子分別為聖。

10 你要把公牛帶到會幕前,亞倫和他兒子要按在公牛的上。

11 你要在耶和華面前,在會幕口,宰這公牛。

12 要取些公牛的血,用指頭抹在的四角上,把血都倒在腳那裡。

13 要把一切蓋臟的脂油與上的網子,並兩個腰子和腰子上的脂油,燒在上。

14 只是公牛的、糞都要用燒在外。這牛是贖祭。

15 你要牽隻公綿來,亞倫和他兒子要按在這上。

16 要宰這,把血灑在的周圍。

17 要把切成塊子,洗淨五臟和,連塊子帶,都放在一處。

18 要把全燒在上,是給耶和華獻的燔祭,是獻給耶和華為馨的火祭。

19 你要將那一隻公綿牽來,亞倫和他兒子要按上。

20 你要宰這,取點血抹在亞倫的右耳垂上和他兒子的右耳垂上,又抹在他們右的大拇指上和右的大拇指上;並要把血灑在的四圍。

21 你要取點膏上的血,彈在亞倫和他的衣服上,並他兒子和他兒子的衣服上,他們和他們的衣服就一同成聖

22 你要取這的脂油和肥尾巴,並蓋臟的脂油與上的網子,兩個腰子和腰子上的脂油並右腿(這是承接聖職所獻的)。

23 再從耶和華面前裝無酵餅的筐子中取個餅,個調的餅和個薄餅,

24 都放在亞倫的手上和他兒子的手上,作為搖祭,在耶和華面前搖一搖。

25 要從他們中接過來,燒在耶和華面前上的燔祭上,是獻給耶和華為馨的火祭。

26 你要取亞倫承接聖職所獻公羊的胸,作為搖祭,在耶和華面前搖一搖,這就可以作你的分。

27 那搖祭的胸和舉祭的腿,就是承接職所搖的、所舉的,是歸亞倫和他兒子的。這些你都要成為

28 亞倫和他子孫從以色列人永遠所得的分,因為是舉祭。這要從以色列人的平安祭中,作為獻給耶和華的舉祭。

29 亞倫的衣要留給他的子孫,可以穿著受膏,又穿著承接職。

30 他的子孫接續他當祭司的,每逢進會幕所供職的時候,要穿

31 你要將承接聖職所獻公羊的在聖處。

32 亞倫和他兒子要在會幕和筐內的餅。

33 他們那些贖罪之物,好承接職,使他們成聖;只是外人不可,因為這是物。

34 那承接職所獻的或餅,若有一點留到早晨,就要用燒了,不可這物,因為是物。

35 你要這樣照我一切所吩咐的,向亞倫和他兒子行承接聖職的禮

36 要獻公牛一隻為贖罪祭。你潔淨的時候,就潔淨了;且要用,使成聖

37 要潔淨,使成聖就成為至。凡挨著的都成為

38 你每所要獻在上的就是兩隻一歲的羊羔;

39 早晨要獻這隻,黃昏的時候要獻那隻。

40 和這隻羊羔同獻的,要用細麵伊法十分之與搗成的分之調和,又用酒分之作為奠祭。

41 那一隻羊羔要在黃昏的時候獻上,照著早晨的素祭和奠祭的禮辦理,作為獻給耶和華的火祭。

42 這要在耶和華面前、會幕口,作你們世世代常獻的燔祭。我要在那裡與你們相會,和你們說話

43 我要在那裡與以色列人相會,會幕就要因我的榮耀成為

44 我要使會幕成聖,也要使亞倫和他的兒子成聖,給我供祭司的職分。

45 我要住在以色列人中間,作他們的

46 他們必知道我是耶和華─他們的,是將他們從埃及領出來的,為要住在他們中間。我是耶和華─他們的

Priests

  

'Priests' represent the Lord regarding His divine good. When they do not acknowledge the Lord, they do not signify the Lord.

3670. 'And He will give you the blessing of Abraham' means the joining of the Divine itself to the good and truth of the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'blessing' as a joining together, dealt with above in 3660, 3667, and from the representation of 'Abraham' as the Lord's Divine itself, which is called the Father, dealt with in 2011, 3251, 3439. And as these words are addressed to Jacob, who is to represent the Divine Good and Truth of the Lord's Divine Natural, it is a joining together of the Divine itself to the good and truth of the Natural - this joining together being meant in the internal sense by 'He will give you the blessing of Abraham'. In the sense of the letter it is possession of the land of Canaan that is meant by 'the blessing of Abraham', and also by the words that follow, 'to inherit the land of your sojournings, which God gave to Abraham'. This also is what these words are taken to mean by all who believe that the historical descriptions of the Word do not embody anything more heavenly and deeper than that. This is especially so with the Jewish nation, which also claims from that sense to hold a superior position to all other nations and peoples. Their forefathers understood those words in the same way, especially Jacob, who had that kind of disposition, as becomes clear from what has been stated just above in 3667. That is to say, he did not know Jehovah and was unwilling to acknowledge Him unless He conferred bodily and worldly benefits on him. The fact that neither Abraham, nor Isaac, nor Jacob were meant, but that Jacob represented the Lord's Natural which He was to make Divine is abundantly evident from the explanations given. The same applies to the character of any person who represents, whether evil or good; for the evil are no less able to represent, and have represented, the Lord's Divine, see 665, 1097, 1361.

[2] The same may be seen from the representatives which also exist at the present day. For all kings, no matter who they are or what they are like, represent the Lord through the kingly office itself residing with them; and in like manner all priests, no matter who they are or what they are like, do so through their priestly office. The kingly office itself and the priestly office itself are sacred, no matter who serves in them. Consequently the Word taught by someone evil is no less sacred; nor is the Sacrament of Baptism, or the Holy Supper, or similar ministrations any less so. From this it may also be seen that no king can possibly claim as his own the sacredness that goes with his kingly office, nor any priest the sacredness that goes with his priestly office. Insofar as he does claim it or attribute it to himself he brands himself with the sign of a spiritual thief, or the mark of spiritual theft. And insofar as he commits what is evil, that is, acts contrary to what is right and fair, and contrary to what is good and true, a king throws off his representation of the sacred kingly office, and a priest his representation of the sacred priestly office, and then represents the reverse of this. This explains why so many laws were laid down in the Jewish representative Church concerning the sacredness which was to be attached in particular to priests when ministering. More on this matter will in the Lord's Divine mercy be stated later on.
