Exodus 29

Studie

   

1 Således skal du bære dig ad med dem, når du helliger dem til at gøre Præstetjeneste for mig: Tag en ung Tyr, to lydefri Vædre,

2 usyrede Brød, usyrede Kager, rørte i Olie, og usyrede Fladbrød, smurte med Olie; af fint Hvedemel skal du bage dem.

3 Læg dem så i een Kurv og bær dem frem i Kurven sammen med Tyren og de to Vædre.

4 Lad derpå Aron og hans Sønner træde hen til Åbenbaringsteltets Indgang og tvæt dem med Vand.

5 Tag så Klæderne og ifør Aron Kjortelen, Efodkåben, Efoden og Brystskjoldet og bind Efoden fast på ham med Bæltet.

6 Læg Hovedklædet om hans Hoved og fæst det hellige Diadem på Hovedklædet.

7 Tag så Salveolien og udgyd den på hans Hoved og salv ham.

8 Lad dernæst hans Sønner træde frem og ifør dem Kjortler,

9 omgjord dem med Bælter og bind Huerne på dem. Og Præsteværdigheden skal tilhøre dem med evig et. Så skal du indsætte Aron og hans Sønner.

10 Før Tyren frem foran Åbenbaringsteltet, og Aron og hans Sønner skal lægge deres Hænder på Tyrens Hoved.

11 Slagt så Tyren for HE ENs Åsyn ved Indgangen til Åbenbaringsteltet

12 og tag noget af Tyrens Blod og stryg det på Alterets Horn med din Finger og udgyd esten af Blodet ved Alterets Fod.

13 Tag så alt Fedtet på Indvoldene, Leverlappen og begge Nyrerne med Fedtet på dem og bring det som øgoffer på Alteret;

14 men Tyrens Kød, dens Hud og dens Skarn skal du brænde uden for Lejren. Det er et Syndoffer.

15 Derpå skal du tage den ene Væder, og Aron og hans Sønner skal lægge deres Hænder på dens Hoved.

16 Slagt så Væderen, tag dens Blod og spræng det rundt om på Alteret.

17 Skær så Væderen i Stykker, tvæt dens Indvolde og Skinneben, læg dem på Stykkerne og Hovedet

18 og bring så hele Væderen som øgoffer på Alteret. Det er et Brændoffer for HE EN; en liflig Duft, et Ildoffer for HE EN er det.

19 Derpå skal du tage den anden Væder, og Aron og hans Sønner skal lægge deres Hænder på dens Hoved.

20 Slagt så Væderen, tag noget af dens Blod og stryg det på Arons og hans Sønners højre Øreflip og på deres højre Tommelfinger og højre Tommeltå og spræng esten af Blodet rundt om på Alteret.

21 Tag så noget af Blodet på Alteret og af Salveolien og stænk det på Aron og hans Klæder, ligeledes på hans Sønner og deres Klæder. så bliver han hellig, han selv og hans Klæder og ligeledes hans Sønner og deres Klæder.

22 Derpå skal du tage Fedtet af Væderen, Fedthalen, Fedtet på Indvoldene, Leverlappen, begge Nyrerne med Fedtet på dem, dertil den højre Kølle, thi det er en Indsættelsesvæder,

23 og en Skive Brød, en Oliebrødkage og et Fladbrød af Kurven med de usyrede Brød, som står for HE ENs Åsyn,

24 og lægge det alt sammen på Arons og hans Sønners Hænder og lade dem udføre Svingningen dermed for HE ENs Åsyn.

25 Tag det så igen fra dem og bring det som øgoffer på Alteret oven på Brændofferet til en liflig Duft for HE ENs Åsyn, et Ildoffer er det for HE EN.

26 Tag derpå Brystet af Arons Indsættelsesvæder og udfør Svingningen dermed for HE ENs Åsyn: det skal være din Del.

27 Således skal du hellige Svingningsbrystet og Offerydelseskøllen. det, hvormed Svingningen udføres. og det, som ydes af Arons og hans Sønners Indsættelsesvæder.

28 Og det skal tilfalde Aron og hans Sønner som en ettighed, de har Krav på fra Israeliternes Side til evig Tid; thi det er en Offerydelse, og som Offerydelse skal Israeliterne give det af deres Takofre, som deres Offerydelse til HE EN.

29 Arons hellige Klæder skal tilfalde hans Sønner efter ham, for at de kan salves og indsættes i dem.

30 I syv Dage skal de bæres af den af hans Sønner, som bliver Præst i hans Sted, den, som skal gå ind i Åbenbaringsteltet for at gøre Tjeneste i Helligdommen.

31 Så skal du tage Indsættelsesvæderen og koge dens Kød på et helligt Sted;

32 og Aron og hans Sønner skal spise Væderens Kød og Brødet i Kurven ved Indgangen til Åbenbaringsteltet;

33 de skal spise de Stykker, hvorved der skaffes Soning ved deres Indsættelse og Indvielse, og ingen Lægmand må spise deraf, thi det er helligt.

34 Og dersom der bliver noget af Indsættelseskødet eller Brødet tilovers til næste Morgen, da skal du opbrænde det tiloversblevne; spises må det ikke, thi det er helligt.

35 Således skal du forholde dig over for Aron og hans Sønner, ganske som jeg har pålagt dig. Syv Dage skal du foretage Indsættelsen;

36 daglig skal du ofre en Syndoffertyr til Soning og rense Alteret for Synd ved at fuldbyrde Soningen på det, og du skal salve det for at hellige det.

37 Syv dage skal du fuldbyrde Soningen på Alteret og hellige det; således bliver Alteret højhelligt; enhver, der kommer i Berøring med Alteret, bliver hellig".

38 Hvad du skal ofre på Alteret, er følgende: Hver Dag to årgamle Lam som stadigt Offer.

39 Det ene Lam skal du ofre om Morgenen og det andet ved Aftenstid.

40 Sammen med det første Lam skal du bringe en Tiendedel Efa fint Hvedemel, rørt i en Fjerdedel Hin Olie af knuste Oliven, og et Drikoffer af en Fjerdedel Hin Vin.

41 Og det andet Lam skal du ofre ved Aftenstid; sammen med det skal du ofre et Afgrødeoffer og et Drikoffer som om Morgenen til en liflig Duft, et Ildoffer for HE EN.

42 Det skal være et stadigt Brændoffer, som I skal bringe, Slægt efter Slægt, ved Indgangen til Åbenbaringsteltet for HE ENs Åsyn, hvor jeg vil åbenbare mig for dig for at tale til dig,

43 og hvor jeg vil åbenbare mig for Israels Børn, og det skal helliges ved min Herlighed.

44 Jeg vil hellige Åbenbaringsteltet og Alteret, og Aron og hans Sønner vil jeg hellige til at gøre Præstetjeneste for mig.

45 Og jeg vil bo midt iblandt Israels Børn og være deres Gud;

46 og de skal kende, at jeg HE EN er deres Gud, som førte dem ud af Ægypten for at bo midt iblandt dem, jeg HE EN deres Gud!

10030. That covereth the intestines. That this signifies which pertains to ultimate or lowest things, is evident from the signification of “the intestines,” as being ultimate or lowest things. “The intestines” denote ultimate or lowest things because they are the ultimate and lowest of man’s interior viscera, not only in respect to situation, but also in respect to use. In respect to situation they are below the stomach, to which they are appended; and in respect to use, they receive last the things digested in man. Above them, as is known, are the stomach, liver, pancreas, and spleen; and still further above are the heart and lungs; and above all is the head. It is also known that the superior organs cast their filth and refuse into the intestines, and thereby remove it, partly by means of the stomach, partly by means of the ducts from the liver, called the hepatic ducts, and also the cystic or biliary, partly by means of the ducts from the pancreas, which with the rest have their outlets into the intestine called the duodenum; from which it is now evident why ultimate or lowest things are signified by “the intestines.” (That by the viscera in man are signified such things as are of the spiritual world, can be seen from what has been abundantly shown at the end of many chapters, where the correspondence of the Grand Man, which is heaven, with all things in man, has been treated of. What in particular corresponds to the intestines, see in n. 5392; and that the hells correspond to the feces and excrements thence ejected, n. 5393-5396)

[2] As in what now follows mention is made of some parts of the body, as the caul, liver, and kidneys, also the legs, breast, shoulders, and head; and as the ordering of them in the sacrifices is treated of, it shall first be shown that by man’s members in general are signified such things as are in the Grand Man, that is, in heaven; here only those by which the statue of Nebuchadnezzar is described in Daniel:

Its head was of pure gold, its breast and arms of silver, its belly and sides of brass, its legs of iron, and its feet part of iron and part of clay (Daniel 2:32-33);

one who does not know that the Word of the Lord is spiritual, believes that this was said of the kingdoms of the earth; but in the Word the kingdoms of the earth are not treated of, but the kingdom of God, thus heaven and the church. These are described by such things as are on earth and in the kingdoms of earth, because worldly and earthly things correspond to such as are in heaven; for all nature and the whole world is a theater representative of the Lord’s kingdom (see the places cited in n. 9280), and earthly and worldly things are what man first apprehends.

[3] From this it can be seen that by the statue seen by Nebuchadnezzar in a dream are not signified earthly, but heavenly things; but what is specifically signified by the head, breast, belly, and sides, and by the legs and feet, can be known from their correspondence, thus from the internal sense of the Word. From correspondence it is known that by the “head” is signified the first state of the church; by the “breast and arms” the second, by the “belly and side” the third, by the “legs” the fourth, and by the “feet” the last. As the first state of the church was a state of good of love to the Lord, it is said that “the head was of gold;” and as the second state was a state of truth from this good, it is said that “the breast and arms were of silver;” and as the third state was the good of love and its truth in the external or natural man, it is said that “the belly and sides were of brass;” and as the fourth state was the truth of faith, it is said that “the legs were of iron;” and as the last state was truth, which is called of faith, without good, it is said that “the feet were part of iron and part of clay.” And as such a state of the church was the last, it is said that “out of the rock was cut a stone, which brake in pieces and scattered all things, so that the wind carried them away, and no place was found for them” (Daniel 2:34-35). By this is signified that the good of love to the Lord, the good of charity toward the neighbor, and the good of faith, had completely disappeared, insomuch that it was not known what they are; but only something about the truths of faith without good, or with good which is not good, thus which does not cohere with the truths of faith.

[4] This good is external good without internal, such as is the good of merit, good for the sake of self and for the sake of the world; thus for the sake of profit, honor, and reputation; for the sake of friendship on account of these, or for the sake of favor; and also merely on account of the fear of the law; and not for the sake of the good of charity, which is the good of one’s fellow-citizen, the good of human society, the good of our country, and the good of the church.

[5] Such goods as are mentioned above are signified by “clay,” or “mire,” and the truth with which this good does not cohere is “iron.” Therefore it is said:

The iron, which thou sawest mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of man, but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron doth not mingle with clay (Daniel 2:43);

“the seed of man” denotes the truth of faith from man’s own, thus truth falsified and adulterated by application to evils from regard to self and the world. From all this it is evident that by the members of man, from his head down to the sole of the foot, are signified such things as belong to the church.

[6] (That in general the “head” signifies celestial good, which is the good of love to the Lord; the “breast,” spiritual good, which is the good of charity toward the neighbor; and the “feet,” natural good, which is the good and truth of faith, see n. 9913, 9914; also that similar things are signified by “gold,” “silver,” “brass,” and “iron,” n. 5658; what is specifically signified by the “head,” see n. 4938, 4939, 5328, 9913, 9914; what by “gold,” n. 113, 1551, 1552, 5658, 9510, 9881; what by the “breast,” n. 4938, 4939, 5328, 6436, 9913, 9914; what by “silver,” n. 1551, 5658, 6914, 6917. From this it is evident what is signified by the “belly” and the “sides,” which are below the breast; but what is signified by “brass,” see n. 425, 1551; what by the “feet,” n. 2162, 3147, 3761, 4938-4952; what by “iron,” n. 425, 426; and what by “clay,” or “mire,” n. 1300, 6669)

[7] From all this it can now be known that by the members and viscera of man are signified such things as correspond to those in the Grand Man, or in heaven, all of which bear relation to the good of love and the truth of faith; and the things that correspond to these correspond also to the same things in the church, for the Lord’s heaven on earth is the church. That there is a correspondence of man and of all things pertaining to man with the Grand Man, which is heaven, see what has been shown from experience itself at the end of many chapters, at these places, n. 3624-3649, 3741-3751, 3883-3896, 4039-4051, 4218-4228, 4318-4331, 4403-4421, 4527-4533, 4622-4633, 4652-4660, 4791-4805, 4931-4953, 5050-5061, 5171-5189, 5377-5396, 5552-5573, 5711-5727, 5846-5866, 5976-5993, 6053-6058, 6189-6215, 6307-6326, 6466-6495. Also what correspondence is, n. 2987-3003, 3213-3227, 3337-3352, 3472-3485)
