1 Kaj jen estas tio, kion vi devas fari al ili, por sanktigi ilin, ke ili estu pastroj al Mi:prenu unu virbovidon kaj du virsxafojn sendifektajn;

2 kaj macan panon, kaj macajn kukojn, miksitajn kun oleo, kaj macajn flanojn, sxmiritajn per oleo; el delikata tritika faruno faru ilin.

3 Kaj metu ilin en unu korbon, kaj venigu ilin en la korbo, kaj ankaux la bovidon kaj la du virsxafojn.

4 Kaj Aaronon kaj liajn filojn alvenigu al la pordo de la tabernaklo de kunveno, kaj lavu ilin per akvo.

5 Kaj prenu la vestojn, kaj metu sur Aaronon la hxitonon kaj la tunikon de la efodo kaj la efodon kaj la surbrustajxon, kaj zonu lin per la zono de la efodo.

6 Kaj metu la cidaron sur lian kapon, kaj metu la sanktan kronon sur la cidaron.

7 Kaj prenu la oleon de sanktoleado, kaj versxu sur lian kapon kaj sanktoleu lin.

8 Kaj liajn filojn alvenigu, kaj vestu ilin per la hxitonoj.

9 Kaj zonu ilin per zono, Aaronon kaj liajn filojn, kaj alligu sur ili mitrojn, por ke al ili apartenu la pastreco laux eterna legxo; kaj konsekru Aaronon kaj liajn filojn.

10 Kaj alvenigu la bovidon antaux la tabernaklon de kunveno, kaj Aaron kaj liaj filoj metu siajn manojn sur la kapon de la bovido.

11 Kaj bucxu la bovidon antaux la Eternulo, cxe la pordo de la tabernaklo de kunveno.

12 Kaj prenu iom el la sango de la bovido kaj metu per viaj fingroj sur la kornojn de la altaro, kaj la tutan ceteran sangon elversxu cxe la bazo de la altaro.

13 Kaj prenu la tutan sebon, kiu kovras la internajxon, kaj la reton de la hepato, kaj la du renojn, kaj la sebon, kiu estas sur ili, kaj incense bruligu ilin sur la altaro.

14 Kaj la karnon de la bovido kaj gxian felon kaj gxian malpurajxon forbruligu per fajro ekster la tendaro; gxi estas pekofero.

15 Kaj unu virsxafon prenu, kaj Aaron kaj liaj filoj metu siajn manojn sur la kapon de la virsxafo.

16 Kaj bucxu la virsxafon, kaj prenu gxian sangon kaj aspergu la altaron cxirkauxe.

17 Kaj la virsxafon dishaku en partojn, kaj lavu gxian internajxon kaj gxiajn krurojn, kaj metu ilin sur gxiajn partojn kaj sur gxian kapon.

18 Kaj forbruligu la tutan virsxafon sur la altaro; gxi estas brulofero por la Eternulo; agrabla odorajxo, fajrofero por la Eternulo gxi estas.

19 Kaj prenu la duan virsxafon, kaj Aaron kaj liaj filoj metu siajn manojn sur la kapon de la virsxafo.

20 Kaj bucxu la virsxafon, kaj prenu iom el gxia sango kaj metu sur la malsupran randon de la dekstra orelo de Aaron kaj sur la malsupran randon de la dekstra orelo de liaj filoj kaj sur la dikan fingron de ilia dekstra mano kaj sur la dikan fingron de ilia dekstra piedo; kaj aspergu per la sango la altaron cxirkauxe.

21 Kaj prenu el la sango, kiu estos sur la altaro, kaj sanktan oleon, kaj aspergu Aaronon kaj liajn vestojn kaj liajn filojn kaj la vestojn de liaj filoj kune kun li; kaj sanktigxos li kaj liaj vestoj kaj liaj filoj kaj la vestoj de liaj filoj kune kun li.

22 Kaj prenu de la virsxafo la sebon kaj la voston, kaj la sebon, kiu kovras la internajxon, kaj la reton de la hepato, kaj la du renojn, kaj la sebon, kiu estas sur ili, kaj la dekstran femuron, cxar tio estas virsxafo de konsekrado;

23 kaj unu bulon da pano kaj unu kukon kun oleo kaj unu flanon, el la korbo kun macoj, kiu staras antaux la Eternulo;

24 kaj metu cxion sur la manojn de Aaron kaj sur la manojn de liaj filoj, kaj skuu tion kiel skuoferon antaux la Eternulo.

25 Kaj prenu tion el iliaj manoj, kaj forbruligu gxin sur la altaro kune kun la brulofero, kiel agrablan odorajxon antaux la Eternulo; gxi estas fajrofero por la Eternulo.

26 Kaj prenu la brustajxon de la virsxafo de konsekrado de Aaron, kaj skuu gxin kiel skuoferon antaux la Eternulo; kaj tio estos via parto.

27 Kaj sanktigu la brustajxon de skuado kaj la femuron de levado, kiuj estis skuitaj kaj levitaj el la virsxafo de konsekrado de Aaron kaj de liaj filoj;

28 kaj tio estu por Aaron kaj por liaj filoj porcxiama destinitajxo de la Izraelidoj; cxar gxi estas levofero, kaj levofero gxi estu de la Izraelidoj, el iliaj pacoferoj ilia levofero al la Eternulo.

29 Kaj la sanktaj vestoj de Aaron estu por liaj filoj post li, por ke ili estu sanktoleataj en ili kaj por ke ili estu konsekrataj en ili.

30 Dum sep tagoj portu ilin sur si tiu el liaj filoj, kiu estos pastro anstataux li, kaj kiu venos en la tabernaklon de kunveno, por servi en la sanktejo.

31 Kaj la virsxafon de konsekrado prenu, kaj kuiru gxian viandon sur sankta loko.

32 Kaj Aaron kaj liaj filoj mangxu la viandon de la virsxafo, kaj la panon, kiu estas en la korbo, cxe la pordo de la tabernaklo de kunveno.

33 Kaj ili tion mangxu, cxar per tio ili purigxis, por ke ili estu konsekritaj kaj por ke ili estu sanktigitaj. Laiko tion ne mangxu, cxar tio estas sankta.

34 Se el la viando de konsekrado kaj el la pano restos iom gxis la mateno, tiam forbruligu la restajxon per fajro; gxi ne estu mangxata, cxar gxi estas sankta.

35 Kaj agu kun Aaron kaj kun liaj filoj tiel, kiel Mi cxion ordonis al vi; dum sep tagoj konsekru ilin.

36 Kaj propekan bovidon oferu cxiutage por senpekigxo; kaj senpekigu la altaron, oferante sur gxi, kaj oleu gxin, por gxin sanktigi.

37 Dum sep tagoj senpekigu la altaron kaj sanktigu gxin; kaj la altaro farigxu plejsanktajxo; cxio, kio ektusxos la altaron, farigxos sankta.

38 Jen tio, kion vi metos sur la altaron:du jaragxajn sxafidojn cxiutage, cxiam;

39 unu sxafidon oferu matene, kaj la duan sxafidon oferu cxirkaux la vespero;

40 kaj por unu sxafido dekonon de efo da delikata faruno, miksita kun kvarono de hino da elpistita oleo, kaj kvaronon de hino da vino por versxoferi.

41 La duan sxafidon oferu cxirkaux la vespero; faru kun gxi kiel kun la matena donofero kaj versxofero, ke gxi estu agrabla odorajxo, fajrofero por la Eternulo,

42 cxiama brulofero en viaj generacioj cxe la pordo de la tabernaklo de kunveno antaux la Eternulo, kie Mi aperados antaux vi, por paroli tie kun vi.

43 Kaj Mi aperados tie antaux la Izraelidoj, kaj la loko sanktigxos per Mia gloro.

44 Kaj Mi sanktigos la tabernaklon de kunveno kaj la altaron; kaj Aaronon kaj liajn filojn Mi sanktigos, por ke ili estu Miaj pastroj.

45 Kaj Mi logxos inter la Izraelidoj, kaj Mi estos por ili Dio.

46 Kaj ili sciu, ke Mi estas la Eternulo, ilia Dio, kiu elirigis ilin el la lando Egipta, por ke Mi logxu inter ili, Mi, la Eternulo, ilia Dio.

10105. 'And boil its flesh in a holy place' means employing the truths of doctrine seen in light received from the Lord to make good ready for use in life. This is clear from the meaning of 'boiling' as employing the truths of doctrine to make ready for use in life; from the meaning of 'flesh' as good, dealt with in 7850, 9127; and from the meaning of 'in a holy place' as thanks to Divine enlightenment. For a holy place is one where what is Divine and the Lord's is present, and so, when the expression has specific reference to the truths of doctrine, is one where Divine enlightenment exists; for where what is Divine and the Lord's is present, so is enlightenment. The reason why 'boiling the flesh of the sacrifice' means employing the truths of doctrine to make good ready for use in life is that flesh, by which good is meant, is by that means made ready for the use of the body; consequently being made ready for use in life is meant in the spiritual sense. The fact that the truths of doctrine are what are employed to make good ready is self-evident, for use is what those truths teach. Also 'the water' in which the flesh is boiled means truths, see 2702, 3058, 3424, 5668, 8568, 9323.

[2] The words 'employing the truths of doctrine seen in light received from the Lord' are used because truths drawn from the Word have to be marshalled into doctrine in order that they may be put to use. The marshalling must be done by those who see things in light received from the Lord; and those so enlightened when they read the Word are people who desire truth for its own sake and for the sake of goodness of life, not those who desire it for the sake of self-glorification, reputation, or gain. Doctrine drawn from the Word is wholly essential for understanding the Word, see 9025, 9409, 9410, 9424, 9430; and those who gather doctrine from the Word must see things in light received from the Lord, 9382, 9424.

[3] The meaning of 'boiling in water' as turning truths into doctrine and thereby making them ready for use in life seems at first sight to be implausible and far-fetched. Nevertheless that is indeed the meaning, as becomes clear from places in the Word where the words 'boiling in water' occur, and also where 'a pot' in which the boiling is done is mentioned, as in the second Book of Kings,

Elisha came again to Gilgal, when there was a famine in the land. When the sons of the prophets were sitting before him he said to his servant, Put on a great pot, and boil a soup for the sons of the prophets. One of them went out into the field to gather herbs and found a wild vine, and gathered from it wild gourds, and cut them up into the pot of soup. While they were eating of the soup they cried out, There is death in the pot, O man of God! Therefore he said that they should bring flour, which he threw into the pot, and said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. Then there was not anything bad in the pot. 2 Kings 4:38-41.

This miracle, like all others in the Word, holds holy things of the Church within it, which are made evident by the internal sense. This sense shows that Elisha represented the Lord in respect of the Word, as Elijah had done; that 'the sons of the prophets' are those who teach truths drawn from the Word; that 'the pot' which was put on at Elisha's command is doctrine formed from them; that 'a wild vine' and 'gourds' from it are falsities; and from all this it is evident what 'death in the pot' is. 'The flour which he threw into the pot' is truth springing from good, as a result of which action - because doctrine had been cured - 'there was not anything bad in the pot'. The internal sense also shows that 'boiling in the pot' means combining into doctrine and thereby making ready for use.

All miracles in the Word hold holy things of the Church within them, see 7337, 8364, 9086.

Elisha represented the Lord in respect of the Word, 2762.

'Prophets' are teachers of truths, thus in the abstract sense, without reference to persons, the truths of doctrine, 2534, 7269.

'Vine' is the Church's truth, and 'grapes' its good, 5113, 5117, 9277, so that 'a wild vine' and 'gourds' are falsities and evils.

'Flour' is the authentic truth of faith derived from good, 9995.

'The soup' which they were to boil means matters of doctrine massed together, as those of the Jews were, 3316.

From all this people may deduce what 'boiling' means, and what 'a pot' means.

[4] In Ezekiel,

Tell a parable against the house of rebellion: Put on the pot, put it on, and also pour water into it; gather the pieces into it - every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder. Fill it with the choice of the bones, and let the bones be boiled in the midst of it. Thus said the Lord Jehovih, Woe to the city of blood 1 , to the pot whose scum is in it, and whose scum does not come out of it! Ezekiel 24:3-6.

These verses describe what the Word is like so far as doctrine is concerned, that is to say, it contains Divine Truths emanating from Divine Good. Then they describe doctrine from the Word as it existed among the Jewish nation - full of unclean and false notions. 'The pot' is doctrine; 'the thigh, the shoulder, and the choice of the bones' are Divine Truths emanating from Divine Good in successive order; 'the city of blood' is the Jewish nation in respect of the truth of doctrine among them, and in the abstract sense, without reference to nation or person, doctrine destructive of good; 'the scum in it' is that which is external and favours foul kinds of love, which if not removed defile truth. From this also it is evident that 'the pot' is doctrine, and 'boiling' making ready for use.

[5] In the same prophet,

The Spirit said to me, Son of man, these men think iniquity and give wicked counsel in the city, saying, [The time] is not near to build houses; [the city] itself is the pot and we are the flesh. Ezekiel 11:2-3, 7.

Here also 'the pot' stands for doctrine consisting of falsity arising from evil; for 'the pot' is used to describe the city in which iniquity is thought and wicked counsel is given. 'The city' too means doctrine, see 402, 2712, 2943, 3216, 4492, 4493, in this instance doctrine of the same type.

[6] In Jeremiah,

Jehovah said, What do you see? I said, A puffed-out pot do I see, its face towards the north. Jehovah said, From the north evil will be opened over all the inhabitants of the land. Jeremiah 1:13-14.

'A puffed-out pot' likewise means doctrine consisting of falsity arising from evil. 'The north' means an obscure state so far as the truth of faith is concerned, also thick darkness caused by falsities, 3708. From this it is evident what this prophetic vision holds within it.

[7] In Zechariah,

On that day every pot in Jerusalem [and] in Judah will be holiness to Jehovah Zebaoth, and all offering sacrifice will come, and take from them, and boil in them. Zechariah 14:21.

Here 'pot' means doctrine teaching about charity and faith, thus doctrine consisting of truth springing from good; 'Jerusalem' is the Lord's Church; and '[all] offering sacrifice' are those engaging in Divine worship. From this it is evident that 'boiling in the pots' means making ready for use in spiritual life.

[8] In Moses,

Every earthen vessel in which the flesh of the sacrifice of a guilt or a sin offering is boiled shall be broken. But if it has been boiled in a bronze vessel, it shall be scoured and rinsed 2 in water. Leviticus 6:28.

'An earthen vessel' in which the boiling was done is falsity that does not go together with good; 'a bronze vessel' is doctrinal teaching that has good in it; 'boiling the flesh of the sacrifice of a guilt or sin offering' in them means making something ready for purification from evils and consequent falsities. From this it is evident what was represented by the decree that an earthen vessel should be broken and that a bronze vessel should be scoured and rinsed in water.

9408. 'And it was like the substance of the sky for clearness' means the translucence of the angelic heaven. This is clear from the meaning of 'the sky (or heaven)' as the angelic heaven, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'clearness' or purity of substance, when said of the sky, as translucence. What the translucence of the angelic heaven is when the Word is the subject must be stated briefly. The angelic heaven is said to be translucent when God's truth shines through; for the whole of heaven is nothing other than a receptacle of God's truth. Each angel is an individual recipient of it, so that all the angels or heaven as a whole is a general recipient. This explains why heaven is called 'God's dwelling-place' and also 'God's throne'. For 'dwelling-place' means God's truth emanating from the Lord and received in the inmost heaven, which in comparison is good, 8269, 8309; and 'throne' means God's truth emanating from the Lord and received in the middle heaven, 5313, 6397, 8625, 9039. Since that which shines through, out of the sense of the letter of the Word, is God's truth as it exists in the heavens, it is the angelic heaven that shines through. For the Word is Divine Truth adjusted to all the heavens, and as a consequence of this it joins the heavens to the world, that is, angels to men, 2143, 7153, 7381, 8920, 9094 (end), 9212 (end), 9216 (end), 9357, 9396. From all this it is evident what the words 'the translucence of the angelic heaven' are used to mean.

[2] The reasons why in the internal sense 'the sky (or heaven)' means the angelic heaven lie with correspondence and also with the appearance. So it is that where the words 'heavens' and 'heavens of heavens' occur in the Word the angelic heavens are meant in the internal sense. For the ancients had no other idea of the visible sky than this, that the inhabitants of heaven lived there and that the stars were their dwelling-places. At the present day too, simple people - especially young children - have the same idea. So it is also that people look upwards to the sky or heaven when they worship God. This action too arises from correspondence; for a sky with stars appears in the next life, but this is not the sky seen by people in the world. Instead it is a sky that takes on an appearance which accords with the spirits and angels' state of intelligence and wisdom. The stars in it are cognitions or knowledge of goodness and truth, and the clouds which are sometimes seen in the sky vary in meaning according to their colours, translucence, and movements, the blue of the sky being truth transparent with good. All this goes to prove that by 'heavens' the angelic heavens are meant. But by the angelic heavens God's truths are meant, because angels are recipients of God's truth emanating from the Lord.

[3] Similar things are meant by 'heavens' in David,

Praise Jehovah, heavens of heavens, and waters that are above the heavens! Psalms 148:4.

In the same author,

Make melody to the Lord who rides above the heaven of the heaven of old. Psalms 68:33.

In the same author,

By the Word of Jehovah were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the spirit 1 of His mouth. Psalms 33:6.

In the same prophet,

The heavens recount His glory, and the firmament declares the works of His hands. Psalms 19:1.

In the Book of Judges,

O Jehovah, when You went forth from Seir, the earth trembled, the heavens also dropped, the clouds indeed dropped water. Judges 5:4.

In Daniel,

The horn of the he-goat grew right on towards the host of the heavens, and cast down to the earth some of the host, and of the stars, and trampled on them. Daniel 8:10.

In Amos,

The Lord Jehovih, who builds His steps in the heavens ... Amos 9:6.

In Malachi,

If there is food in My house I will open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing for you. Malachi 3:10.

In Isaiah,

Look out from the heavens, and see from the dwelling-place of Your holiness and of Your glory. Isaiah 63:15.

In Moses,

Blessed by Jehovah is the land of Joseph, in regard to the precious things of heaven, to the dew. Deuteronomy 33:13.

In Matthew,

Jesus said, You shall not swear by heaven, for it is God's throne. He who swears by heaven swears by God's throne and by Him who sits on it. Matthew 5:32; 23:22.

[4] In these and very many other places 'heavens' means the angelic heavens. And since the Lord's heaven on earth is the Church, the Church too is meant by 'heaven', as in the following places: In John,

I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away. Revelation 21:1.

In Isaiah,

Behold, I am creating new heavens and a new earth; therefore the former things will not be remembered or come to mind. 2 Isaiah 65:17.

In the same prophet,

The heavens will vanish away like smoke, and the earth will grow old like a garment. Isaiah 51:6.

In the same prophet,

I clothe heaven with darkness, and I make sackcloth its covering. Isaiah 50:3.

In Ezekiel,

I will cover the heavens, and darken their stars; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light. And all the bright lights in heaven I will make dark, and I will put darkness over the land. Ezekiel 32:7-8.

In Matthew,

After the affliction of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Matthew 24:29.

What the meaning is of 'sun', 'moon', 'stars', and 'in the heavens', see 4056-4060.

In Isaiah,

O Jehovah God of Israel, You are God alone over all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth. Isaiah 37:16.

In the same prophet,

[I am] Jehovah who makes all things, who spreads out the heavens Alone, who stretches out the earth by Myself. Isaiah 44:24.

In the same prophet,

Jehovah who created the heavens, who formed the earth, and made it, and prepared it, did not create it an emptiness. Isaiah 45:18.

[5] In the internal sense 'heaven and earth' in these and other places means the Church, the internal Church being meant by 'heaven' and the external Church by 'earth', see 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118 (end), 3355 (end), 4535. From all this it is evident that by creation in the earliest chapters of Genesis, where it says, In the beginning God created heaven and earth, Genesis 1:1, And the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them, Genesis 2:1, a new Church is meant. For creation there describes regeneration, which is also called the new creation, as has been shown and may be seen in the explanations of those chapters.
