1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:

2 "Kaži Izraelcima i reci im: Blagdani Jahvini koje imate sazivati jesu sveti zborovi. Ovo su moji blagdani:

3 Šest dana neka se posao obavlja, a sedmi je dan subota - dan potpunog odmora, dan svetoga zbora, kad ne smijete raditi nikakva posla. Gdje god boravili, subota je Jahvina."

4 "A ovo su blagdani Jahvini - sveti zborovi - koje imate proglasiti u njihovo određeno vrijeme:

5 U prvom mjesecu četrnaestoga dana u suton jest Pasha u čast Jahvi;

6 petnaestoga dana toga mjeseca jest Blagdan beskvasnih kruhova u čast Jahvi - sedam dana jedite beskvasan kruh.

7 Prvoga dana neka vam bude sveti zbor; nikakva težačkog posla nemojte raditi.

8 Sedam dana prinosite paljenu žrtvu u čast Jahvi, a sedmoga dana neka opet bude sveti zbor; nikakva težačkog posla ne radite."

9 Jahve reče Mojsiju:

10 "Kaži Izraelcima i reci im: 'Kad uđete u zemlju koju vam dajem i u njoj žetvu požanjete, prvi snop svoje žetve donesite svećeniku.

11 Neka ga on prinese kao žrtvu prikaznicu pred Jahvom da budete primljeni. Sutradan po suboti neka ga svećenik prinese kao žrtvu prikaznicu.

12 A u dan kad budete prinosili snop kao žrtvu prikaznicu, prinesite Jahvi jednogodišnjeg janjca bez mane kao žrtvu paljenicu.

13 Uz to žrtva prinosnica neka bude: dvije desetine efe najboljeg brašna zamiješena u ulju, kao paljena žrtva Jahvi na ugodan miris; a s njom ljevanica od vina neka bude četvrt hina.

14 Prije toga dana - dok ne donesete prinose svoga Boga - ne smijete jesti ni kruha, ni pržena zrnja, ni svježa klasja. To je trajan zakon za vaše naraštaje gdje god vi boravili.'"

15 "A počevši od sutrašnjega dana po suboti - dana u koji donesete snop za žrtvu prikaznicu - nabrojte punih sedam tjedana.

16 Onda na dan po sedmoj suboti, na Pedesetnicu, prinesite Jahvi novu žrtvu.

17 Donesite iz svojih stanova po dva kruha za žrtvu prikaznicu. Neka svaki bude od dvije desetine efe najboljeg brašna; neka budu ispečeni ukvas, kao prvine Jahvi.

18 S kruhom prinesite sedam jednogodišnjih janjaca bez mane, jednoga junca i dva ovna kao žrtvu paljenicu Jahvi zajedno sa žrtvom prinosnicom i ljevanicom, žrtvom paljenom na ugodan miris Jahvi.

19 Prinesite i jednoga jarca kao žrtvu okajnicu, a dva janjca od godine dana za žrtvu pričesnicu.

20 Neka ih svećenik prinese pred Jahvom kao žrtvu prikaznicu povrh kruha od prvina. Uz oba janjca, i ovo je Jahvi sveto i neka pripadne svećeniku.

21 Toga istog dana sazovite zbor. Neka vam to bude posvećen zbor - nikakva težačkog posla ne radite. To je trajan zakon za vaše naraštaje gdje god vi boravili.

22 Kad budete želi žetvu sa svoje zemlje, nemoj žeti dokraja svoje njive niti pabirčiti poslije svoje žetve. Ostavi to sirotinji i strancu. Ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš."

23 Jahve reče Mojsiju:

24 "Govori Izraelcima i reci: 'Sedmoga mjeseca, prvoga dana u mjesecu, neka vam je potpun odmor, proglašen glasom trube, sveti zbor.

25 Nikakva teškog posla ne radite; u čast Jahvi paljenu žrtvu prinesite.'"

26 Reče Jahve Mojsiju:

27 "Povrh toga, u deseti dan toga sedmog mjeseca pada dan pomirenja. Neka vam to bude prigoda za sveti zbor; postite i prinesite u čast Jahvi paljenu žrtvu.

28 Toga dana nemojte raditi nikakva posla. To je, naime, Dan pomirenja, kada će se za vas obaviti obred pomirenja pred Jahvom, Bogom vašim.

29 Jest, tko god ne bude postio toga dana, neka se odstrani iz svoga naroda.

30 A tko bi god radio kakav posao na taj dan, toga ću ja istrijebiti iz njegova naroda.

31 Nikakva posla nemojte raditi. To je trajan zakon za vaše naraštaje gdje god vi boravili.

32 Neka vam je to subotnji počinak. Postite! Navečer devetoga dana u mjesecu - od večeri do večeri - prestanite raditi."

33 Jahve reče Mojsiju:

34 "Reci Izraelcima: 'Od petnaestoga dana toga sedmog mjeseca neka se sedam dana drži Blagdan sjenica u čast Jahvi.

35 Prvoga dana, u dan svetoga zbora, nikakva težačkog posla nemojte raditi.

36 Sedam dana prinosite paljenu žrtvu u čast Jahvi. Osmi dan neka vam bude sveti zbor, kada ćete u čast Jahvi prinijeti paljenu žrtvu. To je svečani zbor; nikakva težačkog posla nemojte obavljati.'"

37 "To su blagdani Jahvini koje imate sazvati - sveti zborovi određeni za prinošenje žrtava u čast Jahvi; žrtava paljenica, prinosnica, žrtava klanica i ljevanica; svaku na njezin pravi dan,

38 povrh Jahvinih subota, povrh vlastitih prinosa, povrh svojih zavjetnih i dragovoljnih darova koje inače prinosite Jahvi."

39 "Osim toga, petnaestoga dana mjeseca sedmoga, pošto pokupite sa zemlje plodove, svetkujte Jahvin blagdan sedam dana. Na prvi dan i na osmi dan neka je potpun počinak.

40 Uzmite već prvoga dana lijepih plodova, palmovih grana, grančica s lisnatih drveta i potočne vrbovine pa se veselite u nazočnosti Jahve, Boga svoga, sedam dana.

41 Svetkujte tako blagdan u čast Jahvi sedam dana svake godine. Neka je to trajan zakon za vaše naraštaje. Svetkujte taj blagdan sedmoga mjeseca.

42 Sedam dana stanujte u sjenicama. Svi Izraelovi domoroci neka proborave u sjenicama,

43 da vaši potomci znaju kako sam ja učinio da Izraelci žive u sjenicama kad sam ih izbavio iz zemlje egipatske. Ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš."

44 I tako Mojsije objavi Izraelcima Jahvine blagdane.

5212. 'And behold, seven heads of grain were coming up on one stalk' means facts known to the natural, which facts existed linked together. This is clear from the meaning of 'heads' or 'tips' as facts known to the natural, dealt with below, and from the meaning of 'on one stalk' as existing linked together, for all present on one stalk are linked together by their common origin. The reason facts are meant by 'heads' or 'tips' is that 'grain' means the good of the natural, 3580; for facts are the containers of natural good, just as heads are of grain. In general all truths are vessels for containing good; and so too are facts since these are truths of the lowest order. Truths of the lowest order, that is, the truths belonging to the exterior natural, are called known facts because they reside in a person's natural or external memory. They are also called such because for the most part they are dependent on the light of the world and can for that reason be presented and represented to others by the use of words, that is, by the use of ideas put into words that draw on things such as belong to the world and the light of the world. The contents of the interior memory however are not called facts but truths since these are dependent on the light of heaven. Without the aid of that light they are unintelligible, and without the use of words, that is, of ideas put into words that draw on things such as belong to heaven and the light of heaven they are inexpressible. The facts meant here by 'heads' or 'tips' are ones that are known to the Church, regarding which see 4749, 4844, 4964, 4965.

[2] The reason there were two dreams, one about seven cows, the other about seven heads of grain, was that in the internal sense both parts of the natural are dealt with, the interior natural and the exterior natural, the rebirth of the two being the subject in what follows. By 'the seven cows' are meant things in the interior natural which have been called the truths belonging to the natural, 5198; by 'the seven heads of grain' are meant the truths in the exterior natural, which are called facts.

[3] Interior facts and exterior ones are meant by 'the tips of the river Euphrates even to the river of Egypt' in Isaiah,

So it will be on that day, that Jehovah will smite from the tip of the river even to the river of Egypt, and you will be gathered one to another, O children of Israel. So it will be on that day, that a great trumpet will be blown, and they will come - those who are perishing in the land of Asshur, and those who are outcasts in the land of Egypt - and they will bow themselves down to Jehovah on the holy mountain, in Jerusalem. Isaiah 27:12-13.

'Those perishing in the land of Asshur' stands for interior truths, and 'the outcasts in the land of Egypt' for exterior truths, which are facts.

[4] Comparison with the blade, the tip or the ear, and the full grain also implies the rebirth of a person by means of factual knowledge, the truths of faith, and the good deeds of charity, in Mark,

Jesus said, The kingdom of God is like when someone casts seed onto the land. Then he sleeps and rises, by night and by day, but the seed sprouts and grows, he himself knowing not how; for the earth bears fruit of its own accord, first the blade, then the ear, after that the full grain in the ear. Once the fruit has been brought forth, he will immediately put in the sickle, because the harvest is established. Mark 4:26-29.

'The kingdom of God', which is compared to the blade, the ear, and the full grain, is heaven existing with a person through regeneration; for one who has been regenerated has the kingdom of God within him and he becomes an image of the kingdom of God, that is, of heaven. 'The blade' is factual knowledge, which comes first; 'the ear' is knowledge of what is true that develops out of that; and 'the full grain' is the good that develops out of this. In addition the laws laid down regarding gleanings, Leviticus 19:9; 23:22; regarding the freedom to pluck the ears on a companion's standing grain, Deuteronomy 23:25; and also regarding the non-eating of bread or of dried ears or of green ones before they had brought a gift to God, Leviticus 23:14, represented such things as are meant by 'ears'.
