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 Revealed # 10

10. John, to the seven churches. (1:4) This symbolically means, to all who are in the Christian world where the Word exists and where through it the Lord is known, and who turn to the church.

The seven churches mean, not seven churches, but all who are constituents of the church in the Christian world. For numbers in the Word symbolize properties, and seven symbolizes all things or all people, and so also fullness and completeness, and it occurs in the Word where the subject is something holy, and in an opposite sense, something profane. Consequently this number involves holiness, and in an opposite sense, profanation.

Numbers symbolize properties, or rather they serve as a class of adjectives to substantives, assigning some attribute to their subjects, because a number in itself is a natural quantity. For natural things are measured by numbers, but spiritual things by properties and their states. Therefore someone who does not know the symbolism of numbers in the Word, and particularly in the book of Revelation, cannot know the many secrets that it contains.

Now, because seven symbolizes all things or all people, it is apparent that the seven churches mean all people in the Christian world where the Word exists and where through it the Lord is known. If these live according to the Lord's commandments in the Word, they form the real church.

[2] It is because of this that the Sabbath was instituted on the seventh day, and that the seventh year was called a sabbatical year, and the forty-ninth year the year of Jubilee, which symbolized everything holy in the church.

It is because of this, too, that a week in Daniel and elsewhere symbolizes an entire period from beginning to end and is predicated of the church.

Similar things are symbolized by seven hereafter, as for example, by the seven golden lampstands, in the midst of which was the Son of Man (Revelation 1:13); by the seven stars in His right hand (1:16, 20); by the seven spirits of God (1:4; 4:5); by the seven lamps of fire (4:5); by the seven angels to whom were given seven trumpets (8:2); by the seven angels having the seven last plagues (15:5-6); by the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues (16:1; 21:9); by the seven seals with which the book was sealed (5:1).

Likewise in the following places: That their hands should be filled for seven days (Exodus 29:35). That they should be sanctified for seven days (Exodus 29:37). That when they were inaugurated they should go in seven days, clothed in holy garments (Exodus 29:30). That for seven days they should not go out of the Tabernacle while being initiated into the priesthood (Leviticus 8:33, 35). That atonement should be made for the altar seven times on its horns (Leviticus 16:18-19), and also seven times toward the east (Leviticus 16:12-15). That the water of separation should be sprinkled seven times toward the Tabernacle (Numbers 19:4). That Passover should be celebrated for seven days and unleavened bread eaten for seven days (Exodus 12:1ff., Deuteronomy 16:4-7).

So, too, that the Jews should be punished sevenfold for their sins (Leviticus 26:18, 21, 24, 28), on which account David says, "Requite our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom" (Psalms 79:12). "Sevenfold" means fully.

[3] Also in these places:

The words of Jehovah are pure words, silver... in a furnace... purified seven times. (Psalms 12:6)

The hungry have ceased, until the barren has borne seven, while she who has many children has become feeble. (1 Samuel 2:5)

"The barren" is the church of the gentiles, who did not have the Word. "She who has many children" is the church of the Jews, who did have the Word. Similarly,

She will languish who has borne seven; she will breath out her soul. (Jeremiah 15:9)

Those who dwell in the cities of Israel will... set on fire and burn the weapons...; and they will make fires with them for seven years... ...they will bury Gog, and... for seven months... will be cleansing the land. (Ezekiel 39:9, 11-12)

(The unclean spirit) will take seven other spirits more wicked than himself... (Matthew 12:45)

Profanation is described there, and the seven spirits with which he would return symbolize all falsities of evil, thus a complete extinguishing of goodness and truth.

The seven heads of the dragon, and the seven jewels 1 on its heads (Revelation 12:3), symbolize the profanation of all goodness and truth.

This makes apparent that "seven" involves holiness or profanation, and symbolizes completeness and fullness.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. The word translated as "jewels" here means diadems or crowns in the original Greek and Latin, but the writer's definitions of the term elsewhere make plain that he regularly and consistently interpreted it to mean jewels or gems.
