Levitska 16

Studie

   

1 Poslije smrti dvojice Aronovih sinova, koji su poginuli prinoseći pred Jahvom neposvećenu vatru, progovori Jahve Mojsiju.

2 Jahve reče Mojsiju: "Kaži svome bratu Aronu da ne ulazi u svako doba u Svetište iza zavjese, pred Pomirilište koje se nalazi na Kovčegu, da ne pogine. Jer ja ću se pojavljivati nad Pomirilištem u oblaku.

3 Neka Aron ulazi u Svetište ovako: s juncem za žrtvu okajnicu i ovnom za žrtvu paljenicu.

4 Neka se obuče u posvećenu košulju od lana; na svoje tijelo neka navuče gaće od lana; neka se opaše lanenim pasom, a na glavu stavi mitru od lana. To je posvećeno ruho koje ima obući pošto se okupa u vodi.

5 Od zajednice izraelske neka primi dva jarca za žrtvu okajnicu i jednoga ovna za žrtvu paljenicu.

6 Pošto Aron prinese junca za žrtvu okajnicu za svoj grijeh i izvrši obred pomirenja za se i za svoj dom,

7 neka uzme oba jarca i postavi ih pred Jahvu na ulaz u Šator sastanka.

8 Neka Aron baci kocke za oba jarca te jednoga odredi kockom Jahvi, a drugoga Azazelu.

9 Jarca na kojega je kocka pala da bude Jahvi neka Aron prinese za žrtvu okajnicu.

10 A jarac na kojega je kocka pala da bude Azazelu neka se smjesti živ pred Jahvu, da se nad njim obavi obred pomirenja i otpremi Azazelu u pustinju.

11 Zatim neka Aron prinese junca za žrtvu okajnicu za svoj grijeh; i obavi obred pomirenja za se i za svoj dom: i neka zakolje toga junca za žrtvu okajnicu za svoj grijeh.

12 Potom neka uzme kadionik pun užarena ugljevlja sa žrtvenika ispred Jahve i dvije pune pregršti miomirisnoga tamjana u prah smrvljenoga. Neka to unese iza zavjese.

13 Sad neka stavi tamjan na vatru pred Jahvom da oblak od tamjana zastre Pomirilište što je na Svjedočanstvu. Tako neće poginuti.

14 Poslije toga neka uzme krvi od junca i svojim prstom poškropi istočnu stranu Pomirilišta; a ispred Pomirilišta neka svojim prstom poškropi sedam puta tom krvlju.

15 Neka potom zakolje jarca za žrtvu okajnicu za grijeh naroda; neka unese njegovu krv za zavjesu te s njegovom krvi učini kako je učinio s krvlju od junca: neka njome poškropi po Pomirilištu i pred njim.

16 Tako će obaviti obred pomirenja nad Svetištem zbog nečistoća Izraelaca, zbog njihovih prijestupa i svih njihovih grijeha. A tako neka učini i za Šator sastanka što se među njima nalazi, sred njihovih nečistoća.

17 Kad on uđe da obavi obred pomirenja u Svetištu, neka nikoga drugog ne bude u Šatoru sastanka dok on ne iziđe. Obavivši obred pomirenja za se, za svoj dom i za svu izraelsku zajednicu,

18 neka ode k žrtveniku koji se nalazi pred Jahvom te nad žrtvenikom obavi obred pomirenja. Neka uzme krvi od junca i krvi od jarca pa stavi na rogove oko žrtvenika.

19 Neka svojim prstom poškropi žrtvenik istom krvlju sedam puta. Tako će ga očistiti od nečistoća Izraelaca i posvetiti.

20 Kad svrši obred pomirenja Svetišta, Šatora sastanka i žrtvenika, neka primakne jarca živoga.

21 Neka mu na glavu Aron stavi obje svoje ruke i nad njim ispovjedi sve krivnje Izraelaca, sve njihove prijestupe i sve njihove grijehe. Položivši ih tako jarcu na glavu, neka ga pošalje u pustinju s jednim prikladnim čovjekom.

22 Tako će jarac na sebi odnijeti sve njihove krivnje u pusti kraj. Otpremivši jarca u pustinju,

23 neka se Aron vrati u Šator sastanka, sa sebe svuče lanenu odjeću u koju se bio obukao kad je ulazio u Svetište i neka je ondje ostavi.

24 Neka potom opere svoje tijelo vodom na posvećenu mjestu, na se obuče svoju odjeću te iziđe da prinese svoju žrtvu paljenicu i žrtvu paljenicu naroda i obavi obred pomirenja za se i za narod.

25 Loj sa žrtve okajnice neka sažeže u kad na žrtveniku.

26 Onaj koji je odveo jarca Azazelu neka opere svoju odjeću, svoje tijelo u vodi okupa i poslije toga može opet doći u tabor.

27 A junca žrtve okajnice i jarca žrtve okajnice od kojih je krv bila donesena u Svetište da se obavi obred pomirenja neka odnesu izvan tabora pa neka na vatri spale njihove kože, njihovo meso i njihovu nečist.

28 Tko ih bude spaljivao, neka opere svoju odjeću, svoje tijelo okupa u vodi i poslije toga može opet doći u tabor.

29 Ovaj zakon neka za vas trajno vrijedi. U sedmom mjesecu, deseti dan toga mjeseca, postite i ne obavljajte nikakva posla: ni domorodac ni stranac koji među vama boravi.

30 Jer toga dana nad vama se ima izvršiti obred pomirenja da se očistite od svih svojih grijeha te da pred Jahvom budete čisti.

31 Neka je to za vas subotnji počinak kad postite. Trajan je to zakon.

32 Neka obred pomirenja obavi onaj svećenik koji bude pomazan i posvećen za vršenje svećeničke službe namjesto svoga oca. Neka se obuče u posvećeno laneno ruho;

33 on neka obavi obred pomirenja za posvećeno Svetište, za Šator sastanka i za žrtvenik. Zatim neka izvrši obred pomirenja nad svećenicima i nad svim narodom zajednice.

34 Tako neka to bude za vas trajan zakon; jednom na godinu neka se nad Izraelcima obavi obred pomirenja za sve njihove grijehe." Mojsije je učinio kako mu je Jahve naredio.

9470. 'And wool of she-goats' means the good from this, that is to say, from the good of mutual love. The reason why 'wool of she-goats' means this good is that 'a she-goat' means the good of innocence in the external or natural man, 3519, 7840, and therefore 'wool' means the truth belonging to that good. However, since not truth but good is meant, the original language does not actually say 'wool of she-goats', only 'she-goats', as is also the case in other places, such as in the following words in Exodus,

All the skilled 1 women brought what they had spun, violet, purple, twice-dyed scarlet, [and] fine linen thread; and all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun she-goats. Exodus 35:25-26.

'Spinning she-goats' stands for producing things woven from the wool of she-goats.

[2] The fact that 'wool' means truth from a celestial origin, which in itself is good, is clear from places in the Word where the actual word is used, as in Hosea,

[Their mother has committed whoredom.] She said, I will go after my lovers, those giving me my bread and my water, my wool and my linen. Therefore I will return and take back My grain in its season, and I will snatch away My wool and My linen. Hosea 2:5, 9.

This refers to a corrupted Church, meant here by 'mother'. 'The lovers' with whom she is said to have committed whoredom are those who pervert forms of good and truths. 'Bread' and 'water' mean internal forms of the good of love, and the internal truths of faith; 'wool' and 'flax' mean external ones.

[3] In Daniel,

I saw until thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days was seated. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of His head like pure wool. Daniel 7:9.

This refers to the Church laid waste so far as every truth of faith was concerned, and then restored by the Lord, its having been completely laid waste being meant in the words 'thrones were placed'. 'The Ancient of Days' is the Lord in respect of celestial good as this existed in the Most Ancient Church, which was a celestial Church. In the Word that good is called 'ancient', its external truth being meant by clothing which was 'white as snow', and its external good by hair of the head which was 'like pure wool'. Similar words occur in John,

... in the midst of the seven lampstands one like the Son of Man. His head and hair were white, like white wool, like snow. Revelation 1:13-14.

[4] This kind of truth, being in itself good because it is the outward form of celestial good, is again meant by 'wool' in Ezekiel,

Damascus was your merchant in the wine of Helbon and the wool of Zachar. 2 Ezekiel 27:18.

And in Isaiah,

Though your sins are like twice-dyed, they will be as white as snow. Though they are as red as scarlet, they will be as wool. Isaiah 1:18.

[5] Because Aaron's garments represented the kinds of realities that belong to the Lord's spiritual kingdom, thus the spiritual realities that belong to truth, his 'holy garments' were made of linen and not of wool. For 'linen' is spiritual truth, whereas 'wool' is celestial truth, which in comparison is good. On this account it says in Ezekiel,

The priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, when they enter the gates of the inner court they shall put on the linen garments, and no wool shall come upon them. The linen turbans shall be on their heads, the linen undergarments shall be over their loins. Ezekiel 44:17-18.

The fact that Aaron's garments were made not of wool but of linen is clear from Leviticus 16:4, 32.

[6] From all this it becomes clear that 'linen' means spiritual truth, which is the truth of the good of faith, whereas 'wool' means celestial truth, which is the truth of the good of love. And since those endued with the latter kind of truth cannot be endued with the former, because the two are as different as the light of the sun is from the light of the stars, it was laid down that no one should wear a garment made of wool and linen mixed together, Deuteronomy 22:10-11. The fact that between what is celestial and what is spiritual there is such a difference, and that both cannot be together in one and the same person, see the places referred to in 9277.
