1 Kaj la Eternulo ekparolis al Moseo, dirante:

2 Diru al Aaron kaj al liaj filoj, ke ili agu singarde koncerne la sanktajxojn de la Izraelidoj, kaj ili ne malhonoru Mian sanktan nomon en tio, kion ili konsekras al Mi:Mi estas la Eternulo.

3 Diru al ili:Se iu en viaj generacioj el via tuta idaro aliros al la sanktajxoj, kiujn la Izraelidoj konsekras al la Eternulo, kaj li havos sur si malpurajxon, tiam tiu animo ekstermigxos de antaux Mi:Mi estas la Eternulo.

4 Se iu el la idaro de Aaron havos lepron aux elfluon, tiu ne mangxu la sanktajxojn, gxis li purigxos. Kiu ektusxis iun, kiu malpurigxis per mortinto, aux kiu havas elfluon de semo;

5 aux kiu ektusxis ian rampajxon, per kiu li malpurigxis, aux iun homon, de kiu li malpurigxis per ia lia malpurajxo;

6 tiu, ektusxinte tion, estos malpura gxis la vespero, kaj li ne mangxu la sanktajxojn, antaux ol li estos lavinta sian korpon per akvo.

7 Post la subiro de la suno li farigxos pura, kaj tiam li povas mangxi la sanktajxojn, cxar tio estas lia mangxajxo.

8 Kadavrajxon kaj ion, kion dissxiris bestoj, li ne mangxu, por ke li ne malpurigxu per tio:Mi estas la Eternulo.

9 Kaj ili observu Miajn ordonojn, por ke ili ne portu sur si pekon kaj ne mortu en gxi, se ili tion malhonoros:Mi estas la Eternulo, kiu ilin sanktigas.

10 Kaj neniu laiko mangxu sanktajxon; logxanto cxe pastro kaj ankaux dungito ne mangxu sanktajxon.

11 Se pastro acxetis homon per sia mono, tiu povas mangxi tion; kaj tiuj, kiuj naskigxis en lia domo, povas mangxi lian panon.

12 Se filino de pastro edzinigxis kun viro laika, sxi ne mangxu el la levataj sanktajxoj.

13 Sed se filino de pastro farigxis vidvino aux eksedzino kaj sxi ne havas infanojn, kaj sxi revenis en la domon de sia patro, kiel sxi estis en sia juneco, tiam sxi povas mangxi la panon de sia patro; sed neniu laiko devas gxin mangxi.

14 Se iu mangxis sanktajxon per eraro, li aldonu al gxi kvinonon de la valoro kaj redonu al la pastro la sanktajxon.

15 Ili ne malhonoru la sanktajxojn de la Izraelidoj, kiujn ili oferlevas al la Eternulo.

16 Kaj ili ne sxargxu sur sin la kulpon de la krimo, mangxante siajn sanktajxojn; cxar Mi estas la Eternulo, kiu ilin sanktigas.

17 Kaj la Eternulo ekparolis al Moseo, dirante:

18 Parolu al Aaron kaj al liaj filoj kaj al cxiuj Izraelidoj, kaj diru al ili:Se iu el la domo de Izrael aux el la fremduloj inter Izrael alportas sian oferon, cxu gxi estas promesitajxo aux cxu gxi estas ofero memvola, kiun ili alportas al la Eternulo kiel bruloferon,

19 tiam, por ke vi akiru placxon, gxi devas esti sendifekta, virseksa, el grandaj brutoj, el sxafoj, aux el kaproj.

20 Neniun beston, kiu havas difektajxon, alportu, cxar gxi ne akirigos al vi placxon.

21 Kaj se iu alportas pacoferon al la Eternulo, por plenumi promeson aux memvole, el grandaj aux malgrandaj brutoj, gxi estu sendifekta, por ke gxi placxu; nenia difekto estu sur gxi.

22 Beston blindan aux difektitan aux kriplan aux absceshavan aux aknohavan aux favan ne alportu al la Eternulo; kaj ne donu ilin kiel fajroferon sur la altaron de la Eternulo.

23 Bovon aux sxafon, kiu havas tro longajn aux tro mallongajn membrojn, vi povas alporti kiel oferon memvolan, sed kiel promesita ofero gxi ne akiros placxon.

24 Beston, kiu havas testikon kunpremitan, disbatitan, desxiritan, aux fortrancxitan, ne alportu al la Eternulo, kaj en via lando ne faru tion.

25 Kaj el la manoj de alilandulo ne alportu tiajn kiel panon de via Dio; cxar kriplajxo estas sur ili, difektajxo estas sur ili:ili ne akiros al vi placxon.

26 Kaj la Eternulo ekparolis al Moseo, dirante:

27 Kiam naskigxos bovido aux sxafido aux kaprido, tiam gxi restu dum sep tagoj sub sia patrino, kaj de post la oka tago kaj plue gxi povas akiri placxon kiel fajrofero al la Eternulo.

28 Sed nek bovon, nek sxafon bucxu kun gxia ido en unu tago.

29 Se vi alportas dankoferon al la Eternulo, oferu gxin tiel, ke gxi akiru por vi placxon.

30 En la sama tago oni devas gxin mangxi; ne lasu iom el gxi gxis la mateno:Mi estas la Eternulo.

31 Kaj observu Miajn ordonojn kaj plenumu ilin:Mi estas la Eternulo.

32 Kaj ne malhonoru Mian sanktan nomon, kaj Mi estu sankta inter la Izraelidoj:Mi estas la Eternulo, kiu sanktigas vin,

33 kiu elkondukis vin el la lando Egipta, por esti por vi Dio. Mi estas la Eternulo.

221. Of Sacrifices.

"Burnt-offerings" and "sacrifices" signified all things of worship from the good of love, and from the truths of faith (n. 923, 6905, 8680, 8936, 10042). "Burnt-offerings" and "sacrifices" also signified Divine celestial things, which are the internal things of the church, from which worship is derived (n. 2180, 2805, 2807, 2830, 3519). With a variation and difference according to the varieties of worship (n. 2805, 6905, 8936). Therefore there were many kinds of sacrifices, and various processes to be observed in them, and various beasts from which they were (n. 2830, 9391, 9990). The various things which they signified in general, may appear from unfolding the particulars by the internal sense (n. 10042). What "the beasts" which were sacrificed signified in particular (n. 10042). Arcana of heaven are contained in the rituals and processes of the sacrifices (n. 10057). In general they contained the arcana of the glorification of the Lord's Human; and in a respective sense, the arcana of the regeneration and purification of man from evils and falsities; wherefore they were prescribed for various sins, crimes, and purifications (n. 9990, 10022, 10042, 10053, 10057). What is signified by "the imposition of hands" on the beasts which were sacrificed (n. 10023). What by "the inferior parts of the slain beasts being put under their superior parts" in the burnt-offerings (n. 10051). What by "the meal-offerings" that were offered at the same time (n. 10079). What by "the drink-offering" (n. 4581, 10137). What by "the salt" which was used (n. 10300). What by "the altar" and all the particulars of it (n. 921, 2777, 2784, 2811-2812, 4489, 4541, 8935, 8940, 9388-9389, 9714, 9726, 9963-9964, 10028, 10123, 10151, 10242, 10245, 10344). What by "the fire of the altar" (n. 934, 6314, 6832). What by "eating together of the things sacrificed" (n. 2187, 8682). Sacrifices were not commanded, but charity and faith, thus that they were only permitted, shown from the Word (n. 922, 2180). Why they were permitted (n. 2180, 2818).

The burnt-offerings and sacrifices, which consisted of lambs, she-goats, sheep, kids, he-goats, and bullocks, were in one word called "Bread," is evident from the following passages:

And the priest shall burn it upon the altar; it is the bread of the offering made by fire unto Jehovah (Lev. 3: 11, 16).

The sons of Aaron shall be holy unto their God, neither shall they profane the name of their God; for the offerings of Jehovah made by fire, the bread of their God, they do offer. Thou shalt sanctify him, for he offered the bread of thy God. A man of the seed of Aaron, in whom there shall be a blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God (Lev. 21: 68, 17, 21).

Command the sons of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, My bread, for My sacrifices made by fire for an odor of rest, ye shall observe, to offer unto Me in its stated time (Num. 28:2).

He who shall have touched an unclean thing shall not eat of the holy things, but he shall wash his flesh in water; and shall afterwards eat of the holy things, because it is his bread (Lev. 22:6, 7).

They who offer polluted bread upon My altar (Malachi 1:7).

Hence now, as has been said above (n. 214), the Holy Supper includes and comprehends all of the Divine worship instituted in the Israelitish Church; for the burnt-offerings and sacrifices in which the worship of that church principally consisted were called by the one word "bread." Hence, also, the Holy Supper is its fulfilling.

From what has been observed, it may now be seen what is meant by bread in John:

Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave them not that bread from heaven, but My Father giveth you the true bread from heaven, for the bread of God is He who came down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. They said unto Him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life; he that cometh to Me shall never hunger, and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst. He that believeth on Me hath eternal life. I am the bread of life. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven; that anyone may eat thereof, and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if anyone shall eat of this bread, he shall live forever (John 6: 31-35, 47-51).

From these passages, and from what has been said above, it appears that "bread" is all the good which proceeds from the Lord, for the Lord Himself is in His own good; and thus that "bread and wine" in the Holy Supper are all the worship of the Lord from the good of love and faith.

3513. 'And I will eat' means in that way making it its own. This is clear from the meaning of 'eating' as being made one's own, dealt with in 2187, 2343, 3168, 3503. It is made its own when, by means of forms of pleasantness and delight, truths, that is, cognitions of good and truth, are instilled into the natural; and when these truths are allied to the good in the natural, communication is effected with the truth and good of the rational and so with the rational itself. It is this communication that the expression 'being made one's own' is used to describe, for those truths belong to the rational within the natural. Indeed truths in the rational are related to those in the natural in the way that individual parts are related to their general wholes. It is well known that a general whole is the product of its individual parts and that without the individual parts no general whole can be produced. It is the general whole produced from the individual parts belonging to the rational that is manifested in the natural. And being a general whole it takes a different form, doing so according to the order of the individual constituent parts, and so according to the form that results. If it is the more specific and the consequent individual parts of celestial good and spiritual truth that give form to the general whole within the natural, then it is a celestial and spiritual form that is presented, and something of heaven is represented as a kind of image in the specific parts constituting the general whole. But if the more specific and the individual parts which give form to the general whole within the natural do not consist of good and truth but of evil and falsity, something of hell is in that case represented as a kind of image in the specific parts constituting the general whole.

[2] Such are the things meant by eating and drinking in the Holy Supper, where again eating and drinking mean making one's own; that is to say, 'eating' means making good one's own and 'drinking' making truth one's own. If good, that is to say, love to the Lord and charity towards the neighbour, gives form to the internal or rational man, and by way of this rational man gives form to a corresponding external or natural man, the person becomes in particular and in general an image of heaven, and therefore an image of the Lord. But if contempt for the Lord and for the good and truth of faith, and hatred towards the neighbour give form to the rational man, the person becomes in particular and in general an image of hell - the more so if at the same time he eats and drinks in a holy manner, for profanation then results. Consequently people who eat and drink worthily make eternal life their own, whereas those who do so unworthily make [eternal] death their own.
