Izlazak 29

Studie

   

1 "Ovo je obred koji ćeš obaviti na njima da ih posvetiš za moje svećenike: Uzmi jednog junca i dva ovna bez mane;

2 onda beskvasnoga kruha, beskvasnih kolača zamiješenih u ulju i beskvasnih prevrta uljem namazanih. Napravi ih od bijeloga pšeničnog brašna.

3 Naslaži ih u košaricu i u košarici prinesi ih s juncem i oba ovna."

4 "Dovedi Arona i njegove sinove k ulazu u Šator sastanka i operi ih u vodi.

5 Zatim uzmi odijelo i obuci Arona u košulju; stavi na nj ogrtač oplećka, oplećak i naprsnik i opaši ga tkanicom oplećka.

6 Ustakni mu mitru na glavu; na mitru stavi sveti vijenac.

7 Uzmi zatim ulja za pomazanje; izlij na njegovu glavu i pomaži ga.

8 Onda dovedi njegove sinove; obuci ih u košulje;

9 opaši ih u pasove i obvij im turbane. Svećeništvo neka im pripada vječnom uredbom. Tako posveti Arona i njegove sinove!"

10 "Dovedi zatim junca pred Šator sastanka, pa neka Aron i njegovi sinovi stave ruke juncu na glavu.

11 Onda pred Jahvom, na ulazu u Šator sastanka, junca zakolji.

12 Uzmi junčeve krvi i svojim je prstom stavi na rogove žrtvenika. Ostatak krvi izlij podno žrtvenika.

13 Uzmi sav loj oko droba, privjesak na jetri i oba bubrega s lojem oko njih, pa spali na žrtveniku.

14 Meso od junca, njegovu kožu i njegovu nečist spali na vatri izvan taborišta. To je žrtva okajnica.

15 Poslije toga uzmi jednoga ovna, pa neka Aron i njegovi sinovi stave na njegovu glavu svoje ruke.

16 Onda ovna zakolji, uhvati mu krvi i zapljusni njome žrtvenik sa svih strana.

17 Isijeci zatim ovna u komade, operi mu drobinu i noge i položi ih na njegove ostale dijelove i glavu.

18 I onda cijeloga ovna spali na žrtveniku. Žrtva je to paljenica u čast Jahvi, miris ugodan, žrtva ognjena.

19 Uzmi onda drugoga ovna, pa neka Aron i njegovi sinovi stave svoje ruke ovnu na glavu.

20 Sad ovna zakolji; uzmi mu krvi i njome namaži resicu desnoga Aronova uha, resicu desnog uha njegovim sinovima, palac na njihovoj desnoj ruci pa palac na njihovoj desnoj nozi. Ostatkom krvi zapljusni žrtvenik naokolo.

21 Uzmi onda krvi što je ostala na žrtveniku i ulja za pomazanje i poškropi Arona i njegovo odijelo, njegove sinove i njihova odijela. Tako će biti posvećen on i njegovo odijelo, njegovi sinovi i odijela njegovih sinova."

22 "Poslije toga uzmi s ovna loj, pretili rep, loj oko droba, privjesak s jetre, oba bubrega i loj oko njih; desno pleće - jer je to ovan prinesen za svećeničko posvećenje -

23 zatim jedan okrugli kruh, jedan kolač na ulju i jednu prevrtu iz košarice beskvasnoga kruha što je pred Jahvom.

24 Sve to stavi na ruke Arona i njegovih sinova i prinesi žrtvu prikaznicu pred Jahvom.

25 Uzmi ih onda s njihovih ruku i spali na žrtveniku, povrh žrtve paljenice, da bude Jahvi na ugodan miris. To je paljena žrtva u čast Jahvi.

26 Zatim uzmi grudi ovna prinesena za Aronovo posvećenje i prinesi ih kao žrtvu prikaznicu pred Jahvom. Neka to bude tvoj dio.

27 Posveti grudi što su bile prinesene kao žrtva prikaznica i pleće što je bilo prineseno kao žrtva podizanica od ovna prinesena za posvećenje Arona i njegovih sinova.

28 Neka to bude pristojba Aronu i njegovim potomcima od Izraelaca za sva vremena. TÓa to je ujam koji će Izraelci davati od svojih pričesnica - ujam koji Jahvi pripada.

29 Aronova posvećena odijela neka pripadnu njegovim sinovima poslije njega da u njima budu pomazani i posvećeni.

30 Sin koji postane svećenikom mjesto njega, kad uđe u Šator sastanka da vrši službu u Svetištu, neka ih nosi sedam dana."

31 "Uzmi onda ovna za posvećenje i skuhaj njegovo meso na posvećenome mjestu.

32 Aron i njegovi sinovi neka blaguju meso od toga ovna i kruh iz košarice na ulazu u Šator sastanka.

33 Neka jedu od onoga što je poslužilo za njihovo očišćenje, da im se ruke ispune vlašću i da budu posvećeni. Nijedan svjetovnjak neka ne jede od toga jer je posvećeno.

34 Ako bi ostalo što mesa od svećeničkog posvećenja ili što od onoga kruha do ujutro, spali na vatri. Ne smije se pojesti jer je posvećeno."

35 "Točno tako učini Aronu i njegovim sinovima kako sam ti naredio. Posvećuj ih sedam dana.

36 Svakoga dana prinesi jednoga junca kao žrtvu okajnicu - za pomirenje. I prinesi žrtvu okajnicu za pomirenje oltara, zatim ga pomaži da bude posvećen.

37 Sedam dana prinosi žrtvu pomirnicu za žrtvenik i posvećuj ga. Tako će žrtvenik postati presvet, i sve što se žrtvenika dotakne bit će posvećeno."

38 "A ovo treba da prinosiš na žrtveniku: dva janjca godinu dana stara, svaki dan bez prijekida.

39 Jedno janje žrtvuj ujutro, a drugo uvečer.

40 Prinesi s prvim janjetom jednu desetinu efe bijeloga brašna zamiješena u četvrtini hina istupanog ulja i žrtvu ljevanicu od četvrtine hina vina.

41 Drugo janje prinesi u suton. S njim prinesi žrtvu prinosnicu s njezinom žrtvom ljevanicom kao i izjutra - na ugodan miris, žrtvu u čast Jahvi paljenu.

42 Neka to bude trajna žrtva paljenica od koljena do koljena - na ulazu u Šator sastanka, pred Jahvom. Tu ću se ja s tobom sastajati da ti govorim.

43 I s Izraelcima ću se tu sastajati, i moja će ih slava posvećivati.

44 Ja ću posvetiti Šator sastanka i žrtvenik; posvetit ću Arona i njegove sinove da mi služe kao svećenici.

45 Ja ću prebivati među Izraelcima i biti njihov Bog.

46 Upoznat će oni tada da sam to ja, Jahve, Bog njihov koji ih je izbavio iz zemlje egipatske da prebivam među njima - ja, Jahve, Bog njihov."

Apocalypse Explained # 1159

1159. And all fat and splendid things are departed from thee, signifies that all things good and true and satisfying and grand, which they were persuaded they would secure through that religious persuasion, are turned into opposites. This is evident from the signification of "fat things," as being what is good and thus satisfying (of which presently); also from the signification of "splendid things," as being what is true and thus grand. This is the signification of "splendid things," because splendor is from light, and the light of heaven is the Divine truth or the Divine wisdom, from which all things in the heavens shine with a splendor such as does not exist in the world; it may be compared with the splendor of a diamond turned to the sun, although the splendor seen in heaven exceeds this beyond measure, as the light of heaven exceeds the light of the world, with a difference so great that while it may be illustrated by comparisons it cannot be described. From that light all things magnificent in the heavens exist, which consist principally of forms corresponding to wisdom, which are such as can in no way be pictured in the world, and consequently cannot be described, for in them art itself is in its art, and knowledge in its wisdom, consequently they are of ineffable beauty. From all this it is clear why "splendid things" signify what is true and thus grand.

[2] "Fat things" signify what is good and thus satisfying, because the fat is the best part of flesh and because it resembles oil, which signifies the good of love. That "fatness" signifies good and things pertaining to good, thus satisfactions and joys, can be seen from the following passages in the Word. In Isaiah:

In hearkening hearken unto Me, and eat ye that which is good, that your soul may be delighted in fatness (Isaiah 55:2).

"To eat that which is good" signifies to appropriate good to oneself; therefore "to be delighted in fatness" signifies to be in a state of satisfaction and blessedness. In Jeremiah:

I will fill the soul of the priests with fatness, and My people shall be satisfied with good (Jeremiah 31:14).

Here, too, "fatness" signifies satisfaction and blessedness from the good of love. In David:

With fat and fatness my soul shall be satisfied, and my mouth will praise Thee with lips of songs (Psalms 63:5).

"To have the soul satisfied with fat and fatness" signifies to be filled with the good of love and consequent joy; "to praise with lips of songs" signifies to worship by truths that gladden the mind. In the same:

They shall be filled with the fatness of Thy house, and Thou shalt make them drink of the river of Thy pleasures (Psalms 36:8).

The "fatness" with which the house shall be filled signifies the good of love and consequent satisfaction, "house" being the things of the mind; "the river of pleasures" that he will make them to drink of signifies intelligence and consequent happiness.

[3] In Isaiah:

In this mountain shall Jehovah of Hosts make to all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of lees, of fat things of marrows, and of lees well refined (Isaiah 25:6).

This is said of the state of those who will acknowledge and worship the Lord. That "mountain" signifies a new church from these, "a feast of fat things, of fat things of marrows," signifies both natural and spiritual good with joy of heart, and "lees, and lees well refined" signify truths from that good with happiness from them. In the same:

Jehovah shall give the rain of thy seed with which thou shalt sow the land, and bread of the produce of the land, and it shall be fat and plenteous (Isaiah 30:23).

"Rain of seed" signifies the multiplication of truth, and "bread of produce" signifies fructification of good; "fat and plenteous" signifies good and truth with all satisfaction and happiness. In David:

They shall still have increase in old age, they shall be fat and green, to proclaim that Jehovah is upright (Psalms 92:14-15).

"To be fat and green" signifies to be in the goods and truths of doctrine. In the same:

Jehovah shall remember all thy offerings and shall make fat thy burnt-offering (Psalms 20:3).

"Offerings and burnt-offering" signify worship, and to "make fat" signifies worship from the good of love. "Fatness" has the same signification in Ezekiel 34:3; Genesis 27:39 elsewhere. As "fat and fatness" signified the good of love, and all worship which is truly worship must be from the good of love, therefore:

It was appointed that all the fat and fatness in the sacrifices should be burnt on the altar (Exodus 29:13, 22; Leviticus 1:8; 3:3-16; 4:8-35; 7:3-4, 30-31; 17:6; Numbers 18:17-18).

For "sacrifices and burnt-offerings" signified worship.

[4] As the Jewish and Israelitish nation was only in external worship, and not also in internal worship, and in consequence was in no good of love and in no good of charity and faith:

It was forbidden them to eat the fat and blood, and it was declared that they would be cut off if they should eat them (Leviticus 3:17; 7:23, 25).

But to those who are in internal worship and from that in external worship, such as those must be who will be of the Lord's New Church, it is said:

That they shall eat fat till they be full, and drink blood till they be drunken (Ezekiel 39:19);

"fat" here signifying all the good of heaven and of the church, and "blood" all their truth. In the contrary sense those who are "fat" signify those who are nauseated at good, or who at least despise and reject it (Deuteronomy 32:15; Jeremiah 5:28; 50:11; Psalms 17:10; 20:4; 68:31; 119:70 elsewhere).

(Continuation)

[5] But such is not the lot of those who are permanently evil. All who are permanently evil are in hell according to the loves of their life; and there they think and speak from thought, although they speak falsities, and they will and from will do, although they do evils. Moreover, to one another they appear like men, although in the light of heaven they have monstrous forms. From this it can be seen why it is according to a law of order relating to reformation, which is called a law of Divine providence, that man is not let into the truths of faith and the goods of love except so far as he can be withheld from evils and held in goods even to the end of life, and that it is better for a man to be permanently evil than that he be good and afterwards evil, for thus he becomes profane. It is for this reason that the Lord, who provides all things and foresees all things, hides the operations of His providence, even to the extent that man scarcely knows whether there be any providence whatever, and man is permitted to attribute what he does to prudence, and what happens to him to fortune, and even to ascribe many things to nature, rather than that he should, through conspicuous and clear indications of the Divine providence and presence, plunge unseasonably into sanctities in which he will not continue. The Lord also permits like things by other laws of His providence, namely, by these, that man should have freedom, and that he should do whatever he does according to reason, thus wholly as if of himself, for it is better for a man to ascribe the workings of the Divine providence to prudence and fortune than to acknowledge them and still live as a devil. From this it is clear that the laws of permission, which are many, proceed from the laws of providence.
