1 Jahve još reče Mojsiju:

2 "Naredi Aronu i njegovim sinovima: 'Ovakav je obred za žrtvu paljenicu: žrtva paljenica neka ostane na žeravi na žrtveniku svu noć do jutra; i vatra neka neprestano gori na žrtveniku.

3 Neka svećenik stavi na se lanenu košulju, na svoje tijelo neka navuče lanene gaće; zatim neka zgrne zamašćeni pepeo u što je vatra pretvorila žrtvu paljenicu na žrtveniku i neka ga stavi pokraj žrtvenika.

4 Potom neka svuče svoje ruho i na se obuče drugo te neka odnese zamašćeni pepeo na čisto mjesto izvan tabora.

5 Vatra na žrtveniku mora uvijek gorjeti; ne smije se gasiti. Neka svako jutro svećenik na nju naloži drva i onda na nju naslaže žrtvu paljenicu. Tu neka u kad sažiže loj sa žrtava pričesnica.

6 Neka na žrtveniku trajno gori vatra; neka se ne gasi.'"

7 "Ovo je obred za žrtvu prinosnicu: neka je Aronovi sinovi pronose u nazočnosti Jahve pred žrtvenikom.

8 Pošto jedan od njih zagrabi pregršt najboljeg brašna i ulja sa žrtve prinosnice i sav tamjan što bude na njoj, pošto to sažeže na žrtveniku kao spomen-žrtvu, ugodan miris Jahvi,

9 neka ostatak u obliku beskvasnih kruhova pojedu Aron i njegovi sinovi; neka ga jedu na posvećenu mjestu - u dvorištu Šatora sastanka.

10 Neka se ne peče s kvascem. To je dio žrtava meni paljenih što im ga ja dajem - dio najsvetiji, jednako kao i žrtva okajnica i kao žrtva naknadnica.

11 Svaki muškarac Aronova potomstva može jesti taj dio od žrtava paljenih Jahvi, i to je vječni zakon za sve vaše naraštaje: i tko ih se god dotakne, bit će posvećen."

12 Jahve još reče Mojsiju:

13 "Neka Aron i njegovi sinovi na dan svoga pomazanja prinesu Jahvi ovaj prinos: desetinu efe najboljeg brašna kao redovitu žrtvu prinosnicu, polovinu ujutro, a polovinu uvečer.

14 Neka bude pripravljena u tavi na ulju. Donesi je dobro namočenu i prinesi Jahvi kao ugodan miris, kao žrtvu prinosnicu od više komada.

15 Neka je tako pripravi svećenik koji od njegovih sinova bude pomazan da ga naslijedi. To je vječni zakon. Neka se ta žrtva Jahvi sva sažeže!

16 Svaka svećenička žrtva prinosnica treba da bude posve spaljena; neka se od nje ne jede."

17 Još reče Jahve Mojsiju:

18 "Kaži Aronu i njegovim sinovima: 'Ovo je obred žrtvovanja za grijeh: žrtva okajnica neka se zakolje pred Jahvom na mjestu gdje se kolje žrtva paljenica - presveta je!

19 Svećenik koji prinosi tu žrtvu okajnicu neka od nje i jede; neka se ona jede na posvećenu mjestu, u dvorištu Šatora sastanka.

20 Tko se god dotakne njezina mesa bit će posvećen; ako krv poštrapa odijelo, poštrapani dio neka se ispere na posvećenu mjestu.

21 A posuda od ilovače u kojoj bude meso kuhano neka se razbije; a ako bude kuhano u posudi od tuča, neka se istare i vodom ispere.

22 Svaki muški od svećeničke loze može od nje jesti - presveta je!

23 Ali nijedna žrtva okajnica od koje je krv donesena u Šator sastanka za obred pomirenja u Svetištu neka se ne jede, nego na vatri spali.'"

8496. 'Bake what you will bake' means preparing good to be joined; 'and boil what you will boil' means preparing truth to be joined. This is clear from the meaning of 'baking', since it was done by means of fire, as preparing good to be joined; and from the meaning of 'boiling', since it was done by means of water, as preparing truth to be joined - 'water' meaning the truth of faith, 2702, 3058, 3424, 4976, 5668, and 'fire' meaning the good of love, 934, 5215, 6314, 6832, 6834, 6849, 7324, 7852. The fact that preparing them to be joined is meant is self-evident, for what was being baked and boiled was being prepared for the following sabbath day, by which a joining together is meant, as shown immediately above. They were forbidden to kindle fire on the sabbath day, Exodus 35:3, so they could not bake or boil anything then. The word 'bake' is used in connection with bread and the minchah, which was made by means of fire, see Isaiah 44:15, 19; 1 Samuel 28:24; Ezekiel 46:20; Leviticus 6:17; while 'boil' is used in connection with flesh, which was cooked in water, Exodus 29:31; Leviticus 6:28; 1 Samuel 2:13, 15.

6849. 'For he was afraid to look at God' means for fear that they should suffer harm from the presence of the Divine itself. This is clear from the meaning of 'being afraid' as for fear that they, interior things, should suffer harm (for this was the reason for his fear); and from the meaning of 'looking at God' as the presence of the Divine itself. For the only way in which the Lord can make Himself present before a person is through the persons inner seeing, through seeing Him with the eye of faith that belongs to charity. If the Lord does manifest Himself in an outward visible form to someone, it is still the inner levels of mind that are affected, for the Divine reaches into the deepest parts of him. With regard to the meaning here, that interior things should not suffer harm from the presence of the Divine itself, and that therefore they were to be protected, the situation is this: The Divine itself is pure love, and pure love is like a fire hotter than the fire of the sun in this world. Consequently if Divine Love in its purity were to flow into any angel, spirit, or man, he would be completely destroyed, which is why so many times in the Word Jehovah or the Lord is called a consuming fire. To ensure therefore that the angels in heaven suffer no harm from the flow of heat from the Lord as the sun, each of them is veiled with a kind of thin cloud suited to the individual, which moderates the heat flowing in from that sun.

[2] The truth that without this form of preservation everyone would be destroyed by the presence of the Divine had been well known to the ancients, which was why they were afraid of seeing God, as is clear in the Book of Judges,

Gideon saw that he was the angel of Jehovah, therefore Gideon said, O Lord Jehovah! Inasmuch as I have seen the angel of Jehovah face to face. And Jehovah said to him, Peace be to you; do not fear, for you will not die. Judges 6:12, 23.

In the same book,

Manoah said to his wife, We shall surely die, for we have seen God. Judges 13:22.

And in the Book of Exodus,

Jehovah said to Moses, You cannot see My face, for no man will see My face and live. Exodus 33:20.

[3] When therefore Moses was allowed to see God, he was placed in a cleft of the rock, Exodus 33:22, which represented the dimness of his faith, and the clouds that hid and protected him. How dangerous it can be for angels to be beheld by the Divine without being covered by a cloud is made very clear by the fact that when angels look at any spirit who is governed by evil he seems to change into something resembling a lifeless object, as I have often been allowed to see. The reason why this happens is that when the angels look at someone there is cast in his direction the light and heat of heaven, and the truth of faith and the good of love with them, which - when these penetrate - virtually deprive the evil of life.

[4] If this is what happens when angels look at them, what would happen if the Lord did so? This explains why the hells are utterly remote from heaven, and why those who are there wish to be remote, for if they are not they suffer dreadful torment. This makes plain the meaning of the following words, They will say to the mountains and rocks, Rush down on us and hide us from the face of Him who is seated on the throne. Revelation 6:16; Luke 23:30; Hosea 10:8.

[5] Thus the presence of the Divine itself is such that no angel can bear it unless he is protected by a cloud which tempers and moderates the rays of light and the heat from that sun. From this one may recognize plainly that the Lord's Human is Divine, for if it were not Divine it could never have become so united to the Divine itself, called the Father, that they are one, according to the Lord's words in John 14:10 and following verses, and elsewhere. For that which is to receive the Divine in this way must be wholly Divine; what was not Divine from such a union would be plainly reduced to nothing. Let me use a comparison. Can anything be thrown into the fire of the sun and not be destroyed, unless it is similar in nature to the sun? So, can anyone enter the intense heat of infinite love unless he has in him the heat of the same kind of love, consequently unless he is none other than the Lord? The truth that the Father is within Him and that the Father does not show Himself except within His Divine Human is clear from the Lord's words in John,

Nobody has ever seen God; the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, He has made Him known. John 1:18.

And elsewhere in the same gospel,

You have never heard His voice nor seen His shape. John 5:37.
