1 耶和華曉諭摩西亞倫

2 人的上若長了癤子,或長了癬,或長了火斑,在他上成了大痲瘋的災病,就要將他帶到祭司亞倫亞倫祭司個子孫面前。

3 祭司要察上的災病,若災病處的毛已經變白,災病的現象深於上的,這便是大痲瘋的災病。祭司要察他,定他為不潔淨。

4 若火斑在他上是白的,現象不深於,其上的毛也沒有變白,祭司就要將有災病的人

5 第七,祭司要察他,若災病止住了,沒有在上發散,祭司還要將他

6 第七,祭司要再察他,若災病發暗,而且沒有在上發散,祭司要定他為潔淨,原來是癬;那人就要洗衣服,得為潔淨。

7 但他為得潔淨,將身體給祭司察,癬若在上發散開了,他要再將身體給祭司察

8 祭司要察,癬若在上發散,就要定他為不潔淨,是大痲瘋。

9 人有了大痲瘋的災病,就要將他帶到祭司面前。

10 祭司要察上若長了白癤,使毛變白,在長白癤之處有了紅瘀

11 這是上的舊大痲瘋,祭司要定他為不潔淨,不用將他鎖,因為他是不潔淨了。

12 大痲瘋若在上四外發散,長滿了患災病人的,據祭司察看,從無處不有,

13 祭司就要察,全身的若長滿了大痲瘋,就要定那患災病的為潔淨;全身都變為白,他乃潔淨了。

14 但紅幾時顯在他的身上就幾時不潔淨。

15 祭司一那紅就定他為不潔淨。紅本是不潔淨,是大痲瘋。

16 若復原,又變白了,他就要見祭司。

17 祭司要察,災病處若變白了,祭司就要定那患災病的為潔淨,他乃潔淨了。

18 人若在上長,卻治好了,

19 在長之處又起了白癤,或是白中帶紅的火斑,就要給祭司察

20 祭司要察,若現象窪於,其上的毛也變白了,就要定他為不潔淨,是大痲瘋的災病發在中。

21 祭司若察,其上沒有白毛,也沒有窪於,乃是發暗,就要將他

22 若在上發散開了,祭司就要定他為不潔淨,是災病。

23 火斑若在原處止住,沒有發散,便是的痕跡,祭司就要定他為潔淨。

24 人的上若起了毒,毒的瘀成了斑,或是白中帶紅的,或是全白的,

25 祭司就要察,火斑中的毛若變白了,現象又深於,是大痲瘋在火毒中發出,就要定他為不潔淨,是大痲瘋的災病。

26 但是祭司察,在火斑中若沒有白毛,也沒有窪於,乃是發暗,就要將他

27 到第七,祭司要察他,火斑若在上發散開了,就要定他為不潔淨,是大痲瘋的災病。

28 火斑若在原處止住,沒有在上發散,乃是發暗,是起的火毒,祭司要定他為潔淨,不過是火毒的痕跡。

29 無論女,若在上有災病,或是男人鬍鬚上有災病,

30 祭司就要察;這災病現象若深於,其間有細黃毛,就要定他為不潔淨,這是疥,是上或是鬍鬚上的大痲瘋。

31 祭司若察頭疥的災病,現象不深於,其間也沒有黑毛,就要將長頭疥災病的

32 第七,祭司要察災病,若頭疥沒有發散,其間也沒有黃毛,頭疥的現象不深於

33 那人就要剃去鬚髮,但他不可剃頭疥之處。祭司要將那長頭疥的,再

34 第七,祭司要察頭疥,頭疥若沒有在上發散,現象也不深於,就要定他為潔淨,他要洗衣服,便成為潔淨。

35 但他得潔淨以,頭疥若在上發散開了,

36 祭司就要察他。頭疥若在上發散,就不必找那黃毛,他是不潔淨了。

37 祭司若看頭疥已經止住,其間也長了黑毛,頭疥已然痊愈,那人是潔淨了,就要定他為潔淨。

38 無論女,上若起了火斑,就是白火斑,

39 祭司就要察,他們上的火斑若白中帶黑,這是上發出的白癬,那人是潔淨了。

40 上的髮若掉了,他不過是禿,還是潔淨。

41 他頂前若掉了髮,他不過是頂門禿,還是潔淨。

42 頭禿處或是頂門禿處若有白中帶紅的災病,這就是大痲瘋發在他頭禿處或是頂門禿處,

43 祭司就要察,他起的那災病若在頭禿處或是頂門禿處有白中帶紅的,像上大痲瘋的現象,

44 就是長大痲瘋,不潔淨的,祭司總要定他為不潔淨,他的災病是在上。

45 身上有長大痲瘋災病的,他的衣服撕裂,也要蓬散髮,蒙著上唇,喊說:不潔淨了!不潔淨了!

46 災病在他身上的日子,他便是不潔淨;他既是不潔淨,就要獨居外。

47 染了大痲瘋災病的衣服,無論是羊毛衣服、是麻布衣服

48 無論是在經上、在緯上,是麻布的、是羊毛的,是在子上,或在子做的甚麼物件上,

49 或在衣服上、子上,經上、緯上,或在子做的甚麼物件上,這災病若是發綠,或是發紅,是大痲瘋的災病,要給祭司察

50 祭司就要察那災病,把染了災病的物件

51 第七,他要察那災病,災病或在衣服上,經上、緯上,子上,若發散,這子無論當作何用,這災病是蠶食的大痲瘋,都是不潔淨了。

52 那染了災病的衣服,或是經上、緯上,羊毛上,麻衣上,或是子做的甚麼物件上,他都要焚燒;因為這是蠶食的大痲瘋,必在中焚燒。

53 祭司要察,若災病在衣服上,經上、緯上,或是子做的甚麼物件上,沒有發散,

54 祭司就要吩咐他們,把染了災病的物件洗了,再

55 洗過以,祭司要察,那物件若沒有變色,災病也沒有消散,那物件就不潔淨,是透重的災病,無論正面反面,都要在中焚燒。

56 洗過以,祭司要察,若見那災病發暗,他就要把那災病從衣服上、子上、經上、緯上,都撕去。

57 若仍現在衣服上,或是經上、緯上、子做的甚麼物件上,這就是災病又發了、必用焚燒那染災病的物件。

58 所洗的衣服,或是經,或是緯,或是子做的甚麼物件,若災病離開了,要再洗,就潔淨了。

59 這就是大痲瘋災病的條例,無論是在羊毛衣服上,麻布衣服上,經上、緯上,和子做的甚麼物件上,可以定為潔淨或是不潔淨。

Apocalypse Revealed # 678

678. And an evil and noxious sore formed. This symbolizes interior evils and falsities destructive of every good and truth in the church.

The sore here symbolizes nothing else than evil arising from a life in accordance with this chief point of the doctrine, that faith alone justifies and saves without works of the law. For we are told next that it formed in people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image, which symbolizes that faith and a life in accordance with it. Therefore an evil and noxious sore symbolizes interior evils and falsities destructive of every good and truth in the church. Its being noxious symbolizes its destructiveness, and evil cannot but destroy goodness, and falsity truth.

This is the symbolic meaning of the sore because sores of the body arise from a vitiated condition of the blood or some other internal malignancy. So, too, with sores viewed according to their meaning in the spiritual sense. Those sores arise from lusts and their accompanying delights, which are their internal causes. The evil itself symbolized by the sore, which in its outward expressions seems to be delightful, inwardly conceals in itself lusts, from which it arises and of which it consists.

[2] It should rightly be known, however, that the interior constituents of the human mind in everyone exist in a sequential order and in a concurrent one. They exist in sequential order from its higher or prior constituents to ones lower or subsequent. They exist in concurrent order in their outmost or final expressions, though they range in these from interior elements to outer ones, as from a center to the peripheries. The reality of this is something we showed many times in Angelic Wisdom Regarding Divine Love and Wisdom, nos. 173-281, in a section on degrees. It is apparent from those numbers that the outmost degree embraces all the prior ones.

It follows, therefore, that all lusts for evil exist inwardly in a concurrent order in the evil itself that a person perceives in himself. Every evil that a person perceives in himself exists in its outmost expressions. Consequently, when a person rejects evil, he at the same time rejects also its lusts, though he still does not do this on his own, but from the Lord. A person can indeed on his own reject evil, but not its lusts. Therefore, when he wishes to reject some evil and is fighting against it, he must look to the Lord, since the Lord operates from inmost elements to outmost ones. For He enters through a person's soul and purifies him.

We have said this much to make known that a sore symbolizes evil appearing in its outmost or final expressions, arising from an internal malignancy. This is the case with all people who persuade themselves that faith alone saves, and for that reason do not reflect upon any evil in themselves or look to the Lord.

[3] Sores and wounds symbolize evils in outmost expressions arising from interior ones, or lusts, also in the following places:

From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness... A wound and a scar, and a fresh blow, have not been expressed, have not been bound up, have not been softened with oil. (Isaiah 1:6-7)

...my iniquities have passed through my head... My wounds have putrefied, have decayed, because of my foolishness. (Psalms 38:4-5)

In the day that Jehovah binds up the fracture of His people... He will heal the blow's wound. (Isaiah 30:26)

...if you do not obey the voice of Jehovah..., being careful to do... His commandments... Jehovah will strike you with the sore of Egypt, with hemorrhoids and scabies, and itching... and with an evil sore upon the knees and upon the legs... from which you cannot be healed, from the sole of your foot to the top of your head. (Deuteronomy 28:15, 27, 35)

The sore of the boils that broke out on man and beast in Egypt (Exodus 9:8-11) has just this symbolic meaning; for the miracles done there symbolized the evils and falsities with which the Egyptians were taken up.

Moreover, because the Jewish nation engaged in a profanation of the Word, and this is the symbolic meaning of leprosy, therefore leprosy occurred not only in their flesh, but also in their garments, houses, and vessels. The various kinds of profanation were also symbolized by the various evil consequences of leprosy, namely swellings, the sores of the swellings, white and reddish pimples, abscesses, burning feelings, losses of skin pigmentation, scaly patches of skin, and so on (see Leviticus 13). For the church with that nation was a representational church, in which internal things were represented by external ones that corresponded to them.
