Exodus 29

Studie

   

1 Toto také učiníš jim ku posvěcení jich, aby úřad kněžský konali přede mnou: Vezmi volka jednoho ještě mladého a skopce dva bez vady.

2 Chleby též přesné a koláče přesné s olejem smíšené, a oplatky přesné polité olejem; z běli pšeničné naděláš toho.

3 A vklada to do koše jednoho, obětovati to budeš v koši, spolu s tím volkem a dvěma skopci.

4 Potom Aronovi a synům jeho přistoupiti kážeš ke dveřím stánku úmluvy, a umyješ je vodou.

5 A vezma roucha, oblečeš Arona v sukni, a v plášť náležící pod náramenník, a v náramenník, a v náprsník, a přepášeš ho pasem náramenníka.

6 Vstavíš i čepici na hlavu jeho, a korunu svatosti vstavíš na čepici.

7 Naposledy vezmeš olej pomazání, a vyleje na hlavu jeho, pomažeš ho.

8 Potom synům jeho přistoupiti kážeš, a zobláčíš je v sukně.

9 A zopasuješ je pasy, Arona i syny jeho, a vstavíš jim čepičky na hlavu. I budouť míti kněžství řádem věčným; a posvětíš ruky Aronovy a ruky synů jeho.

10 Přivedeš také volka před stánek úmluvy, i vloží Aron a synové jeho ruce své na hlavu volka.

11 A zabiješ volka před Hospodinem u dveří stánku úmluvy.

12 A nabera krve z volka, pomažeš na rozích oltáře prstem svým, a všecku krev vyleješ k spodku oltáře.

13 Vezmeš pak všecken tuk přikrývající droby a branici s jater, a dvě ledviny s tukem, kterýž jest na nich, a zapálíš to na oltáři.

14 Maso pak z toho volka, a kůži s lejny jeho spálíš ohněm vně za stany; nebo obět za hříchy jest.

15 Skopce také jednoho vezmeš, a vloží Aron a synové jeho ruce své na hlavu toho skopce.

16 A zabiješ toho skopce, a nabera krve jeho, pokropíš oltáře na vrchu vůkol.

17 Skopce pak rozsekáš na kusy, a vymyje droby jeho i nohy, vkladeš je na ty kusy z něho a na hlavu jeho.

18 A potom všeho skopce zapálíš na oltáři; nebo zápal ten jest Hospodinu vůně příjemná, obět ohnivá jest Hospodinu.

19 Vezmeš také skopce druhého; i vloží Aron a synové jeho ruce své na hlavu téhož skopce.

20 A zabiješ skopce toho, a vezma krev jeho, pomažeš jí konce ucha Aronova, a konce pravého ucha synů jeho, i palce na pravé ruce jejich, a palce na pravé noze jejich; a vykropíš tu krev na oltář vůkol.

21 A vezma krve, kteráž bude na oltáři, a oleje pomazání, pokropíš Arona a roucha jeho i synů jeho a roucha jejich s ním; a budeť posvěcen on i roucho jeho, i synové jeho, a roucho synů jeho s ním.

22 Potom vezmeš z skopce tuk a ocas, a tuk přikrývající droby, a branici s jater, a dvě ledviny s tukem, kterýž jest na nich, a plece pravé, (nebo skopec naplnění jest),

23 A jeden pecník chleba, a jeden koláč chleba s olejem, a oplatek jeden z koše chlebů přesných, kterýž jest před Hospodinem.

24 A dáš to vše v ruce Aronovy a v ruce synů jeho, a obraceti to budeš sem i tam, aby byla obět obracení před Hospodinem.

25 Potom vezma to z rukou jejich, zapálíš na oltáři v zápal, k vůni příjemné před Hospodinem. Toť jest obět ohnivá Hospodinu.

26 Vezmeš také hrudí z skopce posvěcení, kterýž bude Aronův, a obraceti je budeš sem i tam, aby byla obět obracení před Hospodinem; a budeť na tvůj díl.

27 Posvětíš tedy hrudí obracení, a plece pozdvižení, kteréž obracíno a kteréž pozdvihováno bylo z skopce posvěcení, z toho, kterýž bude Aronův, a z toho, kterýž bude synů jeho.

28 A bude to Aronovi a synům jeho právem věčným od synů Izraelských, když obět pozdvižení bude. Nebo pozdvižení bude od synů Izraelských, z obětí jejich pokojných; pozdvižení jejich náleží Hospodinu.

29 Roucha pak svatá, kteráž jsou Aronova, zůstanou synům jeho po něm, aby pomazováni byli v nich, a aby posvěcovány byly v nich ruce jejich.

30 Sedm dní bude v nich choditi kněz, kterýž bude na jeho místě z synů jeho, kterýž vcházeti bude do stánku úmluvy, aby sloužil v svatyni.

31 Skopce pak posvěcení vezma, uvaříš maso jeho na místě svatém.

32 A budeť jísti Aron s syny svými maso toho skopce a chléb, kterýž jest v koši u dveří stánku úmluvy.

33 Jísti budou to ti, za něž očištění se stalo ku posvěcení rukou jejich, aby posvěceni byli. Cizí pak nebude jísti, nebo svatá věc jest.

34 Zůstalo-li by co masa posvěcení a chleba až do jitra, spálíš ostatky ohněm; nebude jedeno, nebo svatá věc jest.

35 Tak tedy uděláš s Aronem a syny jeho vedlé všeho, což jsem přikázal tobě; za sedm dní posvěcovati budeš rukou jejich.

36 A volka za hřích obětovati budeš na každý den na očištění, a krví za hřích pokropíš oltáře, čině očištění na něm, a pomažeš ho ku posvěcení jeho.

37 Za sedm dní očišťování konati budeš na oltáři, a posvětíš ho, a ten oltář bude nejsvětější. Cokoli dotkne se oltáře, posvěceno bude.

38 A toto jest, což obětovati budeš na oltáři, beránky roční dva, na každý den ustavičně.

39 Jednoho beránka obětovati budeš ráno, a beránka druhého obětovati budeš k večerou.

40 A desátý díl efi běli smíšené s olejem vytlačeným, jehož by bylo s čtvrtý díl hin, a k oběti mokré čtvrtý díl hin vína na jednoho beránka.

41 Tolikéž beránka druhého obětovati budeš k večerou. Jako při oběti suché ranní, a jako při mokré oběti její, tak při této učiníš, aby byla vůně příjemná, obět ohnivá Hospodinu.

42 Zápalná obět tato ustavičná ať jest po všecky věky vaše u dveří stánku úmluvy před Hospodinem, kdež přicházeti budu k vám, abych tam s tebou mluvil.

43 A tam přicházeti budu k synům Izraelským, a posvěceno bude místo slávou mou.

44 Nebo posvětím stánku úmluvy i oltáře; Arona také a synů jeho posvětím, aby mi úřad kněžský konali.

45 A bydliti budu u prostřed synů Izraelských, a budu jim za Boha.

46 A zvědíť, že já jsem Hospodin Bůh jejich, kterýž jsem je vyvedl z země Egyptské, abych přebýval u prostřed nich, já Hospodin Bůh jejich.

9990. 'Take one young bull, a son of the herd' means purification of the natural or external man. This is clear from the meaning of 'a young bull' as the good of innocence and charity in the natural or external man, dealt with in 9391. And since the words 'a son of the herd' are used, the truth of that good is also meant, truth being meant by 'a son', and the natural level by 'the herd'. For the meaning of 'a son' as truth, see 489, 491, 533, 2623, 3373, 9807, and for that of 'the herd' as the natural level, 2566, 5913, 8937. The reason why purification of the natural or external man is meant here by 'a young bull, a son of the herd' is that the animal was offered in sacrifice, and sacrifices were signs of purification from evils and falsities, or expiation, in this instance purification from evils and falsities present in the natural or external man. But purification in the spiritual or internal man is meant by the burnt offering of a ram.

[2] To know what each kind of burnt offering or sacrifice represented one must first know that in a human being there is the external and the internal, and that in each there is that which belongs to truth and that which belongs to good. Therefore when a person is to be regenerated he must be regenerated as to the external and as to the internal, and in each as to truth and as to good. But before a person can be regenerated he must be purified from evils and from falsities, for these stand in the way. Purifications of the external man were represented by burnt offerings and sacrifices of oxen, young bulls, and he-goats, but purifications of the internal man by burnt offerings and sacrifices of rams, kids, and she-goats, and purification of the internal itself, or that which is inmost, by those of lambs. Consequently from the actual animals offered in sacrifice one may see what kind of purification or expiation was being represented.

[3] The reason for saying 'was being represented' is that burnt offerings and sacrifices did not purify or expiate a person, but merely served to represent purification or expiation. For is there anyone who fails to recognize that such offerings of animals do not take away any evil or falsity at all that is present with a person? - see the places in the Word quoted in 2180. The reason why those offerings did not take evil or falsity away, but merely represented such a removal of it, was that only a representative of the Church was established among the Israelite and Jewish nation, which served to join them to heaven, and through heaven to the Lord, see what has been shown on this subject in the places referred to in 9320 (end), 9380. But what was represented specifically by burnt offerings and sacrifices of young bulls, rams, and lambs, will be seen in what follows in the present chapter, since they are the subject there.

Exodus 29

Studie

   

1 "This is the thing that you shall do to them to make them holy, to minister to me in the priest's office: take one young bull and two rams without blemish,

2 unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil: you shall make them of fine wheat flour.

3 You shall put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bull and the two rams.

4 You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall wash them with water.

5 You shall take the garments, and put on Aaron the coat, the robe of the ephod, the ephod, and the breastplate, and clothe him with the skillfully woven band of the ephod;

6 and you shall set the turban on his head, and put the holy crown on the turban.

7 Then you shall take the anointing oil, and pour it on his head, and anoint him.

8 You shall bring his sons, and put coats on them.

9 You shall clothe them with belts, Aaron and his sons, and bind headbands on them: and they shall have the priesthood by a perpetual statute: and you shall consecrate Aaron and his sons.

10 "You shall bring the bull before the Tent of Meeting: and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the bull.

11 You shall kill the bull before Yahweh, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

12 You shall take of the blood of the bull, and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger; and you shall pour out all the blood at the base of the altar.

13 You shall take all the fat that covers the innards, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and burn them on the altar.

14 But the flesh of the bull, and its skin, and its dung, you shall burn with fire outside of the camp: it is a sin offering.

15 "You shall also take the one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.

16 You shall kill the ram, and you shall take its blood, and sprinkle it around on the altar.

17 You shall cut the ram into its pieces, and wash its innards, and its legs, and put them with its pieces, and with its head.

18 You shall burn the whole ram on the altar: it is a burnt offering to Yahweh; it is a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

19 "You shall take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.

20 Then you shall kill the ram, and take some of its blood, and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and on the tip of the right ear of his sons, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the big toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood around on the altar.

21 You shall take of the blood that is on the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron, and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be made holy, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.

22 Also you shall take some of the ram's fat, the fat tail, the fat that covers the innards, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys, the fat that is on them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram of consecration),

23 and one loaf of bread, one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before Yahweh.

24 You shall put all of this in Aaron's hands, and in his sons' hands, and shall wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh.

25 You shall take them from their hands, and burn them on the altar on the burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma before Yahweh: it is an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

26 "You shall take the breast of Aaron's ram of consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before Yahweh: and it shall be your portion.

27 You shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the thigh of the wave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons:

28 and it shall be for Aaron and his sons as their portion forever from the children of Israel; for it is a wave offering: and it shall be a wave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, even their wave offering to Yahweh.

29 "The holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him, to be anointed in them, and to be consecrated in them.

30 Seven days shall the son who is priest in his place put them on, when he comes into the Tent of Meeting to minister in the holy place.

31 "You shall take the ram of consecration, and boil its flesh in a holy place.

32 Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

33 They shall eat those things with which atonement was made, to consecrate and sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat of it, because they are holy.

34 If anything of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread, remains to the morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.

35 "You shall do so to Aaron, and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded you. You shall consecrate them seven days.

36 Every day you shall offer the bull of sin offering for atonement: and you shall cleanse the altar, when you make atonement for it; and you shall anoint it, to sanctify it.

37 Seven days you shall make atonement for the altar, and sanctify it: and the altar shall be most holy; whatever touches the altar shall be holy.

38 "Now this is that which you shall offer on the altar: two lambs a year old day by day continually.

39 The one lamb you shall offer in the morning; and the other lamb you shall offer at evening:

40 and with the one lamb a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil, and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering.

41 The other lamb you shall offer at evening, and shall do to it according to the meal offering of the morning, and according to its drink offering, for a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

42 It shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the Tent of Meeting before Yahweh, where I will meet with you, to speak there to you.

43 There I will meet with the children of Israel; and the place shall be sanctified by my glory.

44 I will sanctify the Tent of Meeting and the altar: Aaron also and his sons I will sanctify, to minister to me in the priest's office.

45 I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.

46 They shall know that I am Yahweh their God, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among them: I am Yahweh their God.
