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."

9806. 'And you, cause Aaron your brother to come near to you' means the joining of Divine Truth to Divine Good within the Lord's Divine Human. This is clear from the representation of Moses, the one here who was to cause Aaron to come near him, as the Lord in respect of Divine Truth, dealt with in 6752, 6771, 7014, 9372; from the meaning of 'drawing near' as a joining to and presence with, dealt with in 9378; from the representation of 'Aaron' as the Lord in respect of Divine Good, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'brother' as good, dealt with in 3303, 3803, 3815, 4121, 4191, 5686, 5692, 6756. From all this it is evident that the words telling Moses that he should cause Aaron his brother to come near to him mean the joining of Divine Truth to Divine Good within the Lord, the reason why within His Divine Human is meant being that this was where that joining together had to take place. For the Lord had first to make His Human Divine Truth, then afterwards Divine Good, see the places referred to in 9199, 9315. The reason why Aaron was chosen to serve in the priestly office was that he was Moses' brother, and in this way the brotherly relationship of Divine Truth and Divine Good in heaven was at the same time represented. For as stated above, Moses represented Divine Truth and Aaron Divine Good.

[2] Everything throughout creation, both in heaven and in the world, has connection with good and with truth, to the end that it may be something. For good is the inner being (Esse) of truth, and truth is the outward manifestation (Existere) of good. Good without truth therefore cannot manifest itself, and truth without good has no real being. From this it is evident that they must be joined together. In the Word the two joined together are represented by a married couple or by two brothers, by a married couple when the heavenly marriage - the marriage of good and truth - and the succeeding generations which spring from that marriage, are the subject, and by two brothers when two kinds of ministry, namely those of judgement and worship, are the subject. Those who served as ministers of judgement were called judges, and at a later time kings, whereas those who served as ministers of worship were called priests. And since all judgement is arrived at through truth and all worship springs from good, truth founded on good is meant in the Word by 'judges', in the abstract sense, in which no actual person is envisaged; but truth from which good results is meant by 'kings', and good itself by 'priests'. So it is that in the Word the Lord is called Judge, also Prophet, as well as King, in places where the subject has reference to truth, but Priest where it has reference to good. He is in like manner called Christ, Anointed, or Messiah in places where the subject has reference to truth, but Jesus or Saviour where it has reference to good.

[3] It was on account of this brotherly relationship of the truth which belongs to judgement and the good which belongs to worship that Aaron, brother of Moses, was chosen to serve in the priestly office. The fact that 'Aaron' and 'his house' because of this mean good is clear in David,

O Israel, trust in Jehovah! He is their help and their shield. O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah! He is their help and their shield. Jehovah has remembered us, He blesses [us]. He will bless the house of Israel, He will bless the house of Aaron. Psalms 115:9-10, 12.

In the same author,

Let Israel now say that His mercy [endures] to eternity; let the house of Aaron now say that His mercy [endures] to eternity. Psalms 118:2-3.

In the same author,

O house of Israel, bless Jehovah! O house of Aaron, bless Jehovah! Psalms 135:19.

'The house of Israel' stands for those with whom truths exist, 'the house of Aaron' for those with whom forms of good are present; for in the Word wherever truth is the subject so too is good, on account of the heavenly marriage, 9263, 9314. For the meaning of 'the house of Israel' as those with whom truths exist, see 5414, 5879, 5951, 7956, 8234.

In the same author,

Jehovah sent Moses His servant, Aaron whom He chose. Psalms 105:26.

Moses is called a servant because 'servant' is used in regard to truths, 3409, whereas one chosen or elected has regard to good, 3755 (end).

[4] In the same author,

Behold, how good and pleasant it is for brothers to dwell also together! It is like the good oil upon the head running down onto the beard, the beard of Aaron, which runs down over the collar 1 of his garments. Psalms 133:1-3.

Anyone who does not know what 'brother' means, nor what 'oil', 'the head', 'the beard', and 'garments' mean, nor also what 'Aaron' represents, can have no understanding of why such things have been compared to brothers who dwell together. For what similarity is there between oil running from Aaron's head down onto his beard, then onto his garments, and the unanimity of brothers? But the similarity in the comparison is evident from the internal sense, in which the flow of good into truths is the subject and is described by their brotherliness. For 'the oil' means good, 'Aaron's head' the inmost level of good, 'the beard' the very outermost level of it, 'garments' truths, and 'running down' a flowing in. From this it is plain that those words mean the flow, from inner to outer levels, of good into truths, and a joining together there. Without the internal sense how can anyone see that those words hold these heavenly matters within them? For the meaning of 'oil' as the good of love, see 886, 4582, 4638, 9780, and for that of 'the head' as what is inmost, 5328, 6436, 7859, 9656. The fact that 'the beard' means what is the very outermost is evident in Isaiah 7:20; 15:2; Jeremiah 48:37; and Ezekiel 5:1. For the meaning of 'garments' as truths, 2576, 4545, 4763, 5319, 5954, 6914, 6917, 9093, 9212, 9216; and for the representation of 'Aaron' as celestial good, see above.

[5] Seeing that Aaron was chosen to serve in the priestly office, thus to administer the most sacred things, people can understand what the situation was with representations in the Jewish Church. No attention was paid to the person who represented, only to the thing represented by that person. Thus something holy, indeed most holy, could be represented by persons who were inwardly unclean, indeed idolatrous, provided that outwardly they had an air of holiness when engaged in worship. The fact that Aaron was one such person becomes clear from the following details in Moses,

Aaron took the gold from the hands of the children of Israel, and fashioned it with a chisel, and made out of it a molded calf. And Aaron built an altar in front of it, and Aaron made a proclamation and said, Tomorrow there will be a feast to Jehovah. Exodus 32:4-5, 25.

And elsewhere in the same author,

Jehovah was greatly moved with anger against Aaron and would have destroyed him; 2 but I prayed for Aaron also at that time. Deuteronomy 9:20.

As regards the representatives of the Church among the Israelite and Jewish nation, that no attention was paid to the persons, only to the actual things represented, see the places referred to in 9229.

6917. 'Vessels of silver' means factual knowledge of what is true, 'and vessels of gold' means factual knowledge of what is good. This is clear from the meaning of 'vessels' as known facts, dealt with in 3068, 3079 (known facts are called 'vessels' because they are general and can contain within them countless truths and manifold forms of good); from the meaning of 'silver' as truth, and of 'gold' as good, dealt with in 1551, 1552, 2954, 5658, 'the silver of Egypt' being factual knowledge that held truth in it and was appropriate, see 6112. As regards the vessels of silver and the vessels of gold in the hands of the Egyptians - that they mean factual knowledge of what is true and factual knowledge of what is good, even though here and in what has gone before, as well as in what follows, false factual knowledge is meant by 'the Egyptians - it should be recognized that in themselves known facts are neither true nor false. Rather, they become true in the hands of those who are guided by truths, and false in the hands of those who are steeped in falsities. What use they are put to and then made to serve is what determines which of these they become. The facts a person knows are like the wealth and riches he possesses. Wealth and riches in the hands of those governed by evil are ruinous because they put them to evil kinds of use, whereas wealth and riches in the hands of those governed by good are advantageous because they put them to good kinds of use. Therefore if wealth and riches in the hands of evil people are handed over to those who are good they become good. So too with factual knowledge.

[2] Among the Egyptians, for example, there remained a large number of the representatives that belonged to the Ancient Church, as is clear from their hieroglyphics. But because they applied them to magical practices and therefore made them serve an evil use, these things were for them not true factual knowledge but false. Yet in the Ancient Church the same knowledge had held what was true since people had put it to its correct use - to Divine worship. Take sacrifices on altars as another example. Among the Hebrew nation, and subsequently among the Jewish and Israelite nation, they were ritual acts that were true because they were put to use in the worship of Jehovah. But among the nations in the land of Canaan they were false ritual acts because they were put to use in the worship of their idols. This was why the command was also given to destroy those nations' altars wherever they were. The same holds true with a very large number of other things. For this reason many known facts can be learned from those who are steeped in evils and falsities, and put to good kinds of use, thus becoming good. Similar things were also meant by plundering the nations in the land of Canaan - by the wealth, large cattle, small cattle, houses, and vineyards which the children of Israel plundered there. The same thing is still further evident from the gold and silver plundered from the nations. This too was devoted to a sacred use, as is clear from the second Book of Samuel,

There were in his hand vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze. King David consecrated these also to Jehovah, along with the silver and gold that he had consecrated from all the nations which he had subdued - from the Syrians, [and] from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek, and from the plunder of Hadad Ezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah. 2 Samuel 8:10-12.

And in Isaiah,

At length the merchandise of Tyre and her harlot's wages will be holy to Jehovah, they will not be hoarded or held back; but her merchandise will be for those that dwell before Jehovah to eat to their satiety and for one covering himself with what is ancient. Isaiah 23:18.

And also the objects which the women of the children of Israel asked of the Egyptians, thereby plundering them, were later on put to use in the making of the Ark, and to many other sacred objects in their worship.
