1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:

2 "Uzmi Arona, a s njim i njegove sinove; ruho, ulje pomazanja, junca žrtve okajnice, dva ovna i košaru beskvasnih kruhova

3 te skupi svu zajednicu na ulazu u Šator sastanka."

4 Mojsije učini kako mu je Jahve naredio, i zajednica se sabra na ulazu u Šator sastanka.

5 Tada Mojsije progovori zajednici: "Ovo je Jahve zpovjedio da se učini."

6 Izvede zatim Mojsije Arona i njegove sinove pa ih u vodi opra.

7 Obuče na nj haljinu, opasa ga pojasom, ogrnu ga ogrtačem i stavi mu oplećak. Zatim ga opasa tkanicom oplećka i njome pritegnu uza nj oplećak.

8 Stavi mu naprsnik, a u naprsnik metnu Urim i Tumim.

9 Na glavu mu stavi mitru, a sprijeda na mitru postavi zlatnu pločicu - sveti vijenac - kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju.

10 Uzme zatim Mojsije ulje pomazanja te pomaže Prebivalište i sve što je u njemu da ih posveti.

11 Sedam puta poškropi njime žrtvenik te pomaže žrtvenik i sav njegov pribor, umivaonik s njegovim stalkom da ih posveti.

12 Izlije ulja pomazanja Aronu na glavu te ga pomaže da ga posveti.

13 Potom Mojsije dovede Aronove sinove; na njih obuče haljine, pasovima ih opaše i poveze im zavije, kako je Jahve Mojsiju naredio.

14 Dovede potom junce žrtve okajnice. Aron i njegovi sinovi stave svoje ruke na glavu juncu žrtve okajnice.

15 Zatim ga Mojsije zakolje. Onda uzme krvi pa je svojim prstom stavi na rogove oko žrtvenika. Tako žrtvenik očisti. Zatim izlije krv podno žrtvenika; posveti ga, izvršivši na njemu obred pomirenja.

16 Zatim Mojsije uzme sav loj što je bio oko drobine, privjesak s jetre, oba bubrega i njihov loj, pa to sažeže u kad na žrtveniku.

17 A kožu od junca, njegovo meso i njegovu nečist spali u vatri izvan tabora, kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju.

18 Dovede potom ovna za žrtvu paljenicu. Aron i njegovi sinovi stave svoje ruke ovnu na glavu.

19 Sad ga Mojsije zakolje. Onda krvlju zapljusne žrtvenik sa svih strana.

20 Pošto isiječe ovna na dijelove, Mojsije sažeže u kad glavu, dijelove i loj.

21 U vodi opere drobinu i noge pa u kad sažeže na žrtveniku svega ovna. Bila je to žrtva paljenica na ugodan miris - žrtva u čast Jahvi paljena - kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju.

22 Zatim dovede drugoga ovna, ovna za žrtvu posvetnicu. Aron i njegovi sinovi stave svoje ruke ovnu na glavu.

23 Mojsije ga zakolje. Onda uzme krvi pa stavi na resu Aronova desnog uha, na palac njegove desne ruke i na palac njegove desne noge.

24 Potom Mojsije dovede Aronove sinove, pa im stavi iste krvi na resu desnog uha, na palac desne ruke i na palac desne noge. Zatim Mojsije krvlju zapljusne žrtvenik sa svih strana.

25 Poslije toga uzme loj, pretili rep, loj što je bio oko drobine, privjesak s jetre, oba bubrega i njihov loj - i desno pleće;

26 a iz košare beskvasnih kruhova, što je stajala pred Jahvom, uzme jednu beskvasnu pogaču, jednu prevrtu s uljem i jedan kolač i postavi ih na loj i desno pleće.

27 Sve to položi na ruke Arona i na ruke njegovih sinova pa to prinese kao žrtvu prikaznicu pred Jahvom.

28 Potom Mojsije opet to uzme s njihovih ruku i sažeže u kad na žrtveniku povrh žrtve paljenice. Bila je to žrtva posvetnica na ugodan miris, žrtva u čast Jahvi paljena.

29 Naposljetku Mojsije uzme grudi i prinese ih kao žrtvu prikaznicu pred Jahvom. To je bila pristojbina Mojsiju od ovna žrtve posvetnice, kako je Jahve Mojsiju naredio.

30 Zatim Mojsije uze ulja za pomazanje i krvi što je bila na žrtveniku te poškropi Arona i njegove haljine, a tako i njegove sinove i njihove haljine. Tako posveti Arona i njegove haljine; njegove sinove i njihove haljine.

31 Onda reče Mojsije Aronu i njegovim sinovima: "Skuhajte to meso na ulazu u Šator sastanka i ondje ga blagujte s kruhom što je u košari za žrtvu posvetnicu, kako sam naredio. Neka ga jedu Aron i njegovi sinovi!

32 A što od mesa i kruha ostane, spalite na vatri.

33 Sedam dana ne odlazite s ulaza Šatora sastanka - do dana kad se navrši rok vašega svećeničkog posvećenja. Jer Sedam dana treba za vaše posvećenje.

34 Kako se radilo danas, Jahve je naredio da se tako radi dalje, da se nad vama izvrši obred pomirenja.

35 Zato ostanite na ulazu Šatora sastanka sedam dana, danju i noću vršeći što je Jahve naredio, da ne pomrete. Takvu sam ja zapovijed dobio."

36 Aron i njegovi sinovi učiniše sve što je Jahve naredio preko Mojsija.

Apocalypse Explained # 272

/ 1232  
  

272. And they had on their heads crowns of gold. That this signifies all truths disposed into order from the Divine good, thus also all the former heavens is evident from the signification of the four-and-twenty elders sitting upon four-and-twenty thrones, clothed in white garments, as being all the truths of the heavens, thus all the heavens, both the higher and the lower, as just explained (n. 270, 271); and from the signification of a crown of gold, as being Divine good from which truths are derived, which will be treated of in what follows. All the truths of heaven and of the church are from Divine good; truths which are not from that source are not truths. Truths which are not from good are like shells without a kernel, and like a house inhabited not by men, but by wild beasts; and such are the truths which are called truths of faith, without the good of charity; the good of charity is good from the Lord, thus good Divine. Now because the elders upon the throne signify the truths of the heavens, and crowns of gold the good from which they are derived, therefore the elders were seen with such crowns. The same is signified by the crowns of kings; for kings, in a representative sense, signify truths, and the crowns upon their heads signify the goods from which the truths are derived (that kings signify truths may be seen above, n. 31); hence it is that crowns are of gold, for gold in like manner signifies good (see n. 242).

[2] That crowns signify good and thence wisdom, and that truths are the things that are crowned, is evident from the following passages. In David:

"I will make the horn of David to bud; I will ordain a lamp for mine anointed. His enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall his crown flourish" (Psalms 132:17, 18).

Here by David, and by anointed is meant the Lord, as may be seen above (n. 205); by horn is signified His power; lamp denotes the Divine truth from which is Divine intelligence; by crown is signified the Divine good from which is Divine wisdom, and from which is the Lord's government; and the enemies who shall be clothed with shame are evils and falsities.

[3] Again:

"Thou showest anger with thine anointed. Thou hast condemned his crown even to the earth" (89:38, 39).

Here also by anointed is meant the Lord, and by anger a state of temptation, in which He was when in combats with the hells. Lamentation is then described by anger and condemnation, as in the last temptation on the cross, when the Lord lamented that He was forsaken. For the cross was the last of the temptations, or combats with the hells; and after that last temptation He put on the Divine good of the Divine love, and thus united the Divine Human with the essential Divine which was in Himself.

[4] Again, in Isaiah:

"In that day shall Jehovah Zebaoth be for a crown of ornament, and for a mitre of comeliness unto the remnant of his people" (28:5).

Here by a crown of ornament is signified the wisdom which belongs to good from the Divine; and by a mitre of comeliness is meant intelligence belonging to truths from that good.

[5] Again:

"For Zion's sake will I not be silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her justice go forth as brightness, and her salvation burn as a lamp. Thou shalt be a crown of comeliness in the hand of Jehovah, and a mitre of a kingdom in the hand of thy God" (62:1, 3).

Here by Zion and Jerusalem is meant the church; by Zion, the church which is in good, and by Jerusalem, the church which is in truths from that good: hence it is called a crown of comeliness in the hand of Jehovah, and a mitre of a kingdom in the hand of God. The crown of comeliness denotes wisdom, which belongs to good, and a mitre of a kingdom denotes intelligence, which belongs to truth. And since by crown is signified wisdom, which belongs to good, therefore it is said to be in the hand of Jehovah; and since by mitre is signified intelligence, which belongs to truth, therefore it is said to be in the hand of God; for where good is treated of the word Jehovah is used, and where truth is treated of the word God (as may be seen, Arcana Coelestia 2586, 2769, 6905).

[6] In Jeremiah:

"Say unto the king and to the mistress, Let yourselves down, sit ye, because the ornament of your head is come down, the crown of your comeliness" (13:18).

Here by crown of comeliness is signified the wisdom which belongs to good, for comeliness is the Divine truth of the church (see Arcana Coelestia 9815).

[7] Again:

"The joy of our hearts is ceased: our dance is turned into mourning. The crown of our head hath fallen" (Lamentations 5:15, 16).

By the crown of the head which is said to have fallen is signified the wisdom of those who belong to the church by means of Divine truth, which wisdom has ceased, together with internal blessedness.

[8] In Ezekiel:

"He put a jewel upon thy nose and earrings upon thine ears, and a crown of ornament upon thy head" (16:12).

By Jerusalem, which is here treated of, is signified the church at its first establishment. By a jewel upon the nose is signified the perception of good; by earrings upon the ears are meant the perception of truth and obedience; and by a crown upon the head is signified wisdom therefrom. In Job:

"He has stripped me of my glory, and taken away the crown from my head" (19:9).

Here also by glory is meant intelligence derived from Divine truth, and by a crown wisdom therefrom.

[9] Also, in the Apocalypse:

"I saw, and, behold, a white horse; and he that sat on him had a bow, and a crown was given unto him; he went forth conquering and to conquer" (6:2).

The white horse and He that sat on him is the Lord as to the Word; the bow signifies the doctrine of truth by which He fought. It is therefore evident that the crown, as being said of the Lord, is the Divine good which He also put on as to the Human as the reward of victory.

[10] And in another place:

"Afterwards I looked, when, behold, a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle" (14:14).

A white cloud signifies the Word in its literal sense (see Arcana Coelestia 4060, 4391, 5922, 6343, 6752, 8281); the Son of man denotes the Lord as to Divine truth; a golden crown, the Divine good from which the Divine truth is: and the sharp sickle denotes the dissipation of evil and falsity.

[11] That a crown denotes Divine good from which is the Divine truth, was represented by the plate of gold upon the front of the mitre which was upon Aaron, which plate was also called a crown and a coronet, concerning which it is thus written in Exodus:

"Thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it the engravings of a signet, Holiness to Jehovah; and thou shalt put it upon a thread of purple, and it shall be on thy mitre, over against the region of the face" (28:36, 37).

(That this plate was called a crown of holiness and a coronet, may be seen Exodus 29:6, 39:30; Leviticus 8:9; but what was specifically signified thereby may be seen in Arcana Coelestia 9930-9936, where the terms are explained.)
