Levitiko 24

1 Kaj la Eternulo ekparolis al Moseo, dirante:

2 Ordonu al la Izraelidoj, ke ili alportadu al vi oleon olivan, puran, pistitan, por lumigado, por ke lucerno brulu cxiam.

3 Ekster la kurteno de la atesto en la tabernaklo de kunveno Aaron gxin cxiam arangxadu de vespero gxis mateno antaux la Eternulo; tio estu eterna legxo en viaj generacioj.

4 Sur la pure ora kandelabro li arangxadu la lumojn antaux la Eternulo cxiam.

5 Kaj prenu delikatan farunon kaj baku el gxi dek du panojn; el du dekonoj de efo estu cxiu pano;

6 kaj arangxu ilin en du vicoj, po ses en vico, sur la pure ora tablo antaux la Eternulo.

7 Kaj metu sur cxiun vicon puran olibanon, kaj tio estos cxe la pano memorofero, fajrofero al la Eternulo.

8 En cxiu tago sabata oni cxiam arangxu tion antaux la Eternulo; de la Izraelidoj gxi estu eterna interligo.

9 Kaj gxi estu por Aaron kaj por liaj filoj, kaj ili mangxu gxin sur sankta loko, cxar tio estas plejsanktajxo por li el la fajroferoj de la Eternulo; tio estu eterna legxo.

10 Kaj eliris iu filo de virino Izraelida kaj de viro Egipta inter la Izraelidojn, kaj en la tendaro la filo de la Izraelidino ekkverelis kun Izraelido;

11 kaj la filo de la Izraelidino insultis la nomon de Dio kaj blasfemis; kaj oni venigis lin al Moseo. La nomo de lia patrino estis SXelomit, filino de Dibri el la tribo de Dan.

12 Kaj oni metis lin en malliberejon, gxis oni ricevos precizan decidon de la Eternulo.

13 Kaj la Eternulo ekparolis al Moseo, dirante:

14 Elirigu la blasfeminton ekster la tendaron; kaj cxiuj, kiuj auxdis, metu siajn manojn sur lian kapon, kaj la tuta komunumo mortigu lin per sxtonoj.

15 Kaj al la Izraelidoj diru jene:CXiu, kiu blasfemos sian Dion, portos sian pekon.

16 Kiu insultas la nomon de la Eternulo, tiu estu mortigita; per sxtonoj mortigu lin la tuta komunumo. CXu fremdulo, cxu indigxeno, se li blasfemos la nomon de la Eternulo, estu mortigita.

17 Se iu mortigos iun homon, oni lin mortigu.

18 Kiu mortigos bruton, tiu pagu pro gxi:beston pro besto.

19 Se iu faris difekton al sia proksimulo, oni faru al li tiel, kiel li faris:

20 rompon pro rompo, okulon pro okulo, denton pro dento; kian difekton li faris al homo, tian oni faru al li.

21 Kaj kiu mortigis bruton, pagu pro gxi; sed kiu mortigis homon, estu mortigita.

22 La sama jugxo estu cxe vi cxu por fremdulo, cxu por indigxeno; cxar Mi estas la Eternulo, via Dio.

23 Kaj Moseo diris al la Izraelidoj, kaj oni elirigis la blasfeminton ekster la tendaron kaj mortigis lin per sxtonoj; kaj la Izraelidoj faris, kiel la Eternulo ordonis al Moseo.

7978. 'And they baked the dough which they brought out of Egypt - unleavened cakes' means that from the truth of good further good was produced that had no falsity at all in it. This is clear from the meaning of 'baking' - when used in reference to the truth of good, meant by 'the dough' - as producing; from the meaning of 'the dough' as the truth of good, dealt with above in 7966; and from the meaning of 'unleavened cakes' as forms of good that have no falsity at all in them, since 'unleavened' means without falsity, see 2342, 7906. This is the second state of truth from good that they passed through when they were delivered, see above in 7966, 7972. The reason why 'cakes' means forms of good is that they are cakes of bread, and 'bread' in the internal sense is the good of love, dealt with in 276, 680, 2165, 2177, 3464, 3478, 3735, 3813, 4211, 4217, 4735, 4976, 5915. But bread in the form of cakes is distinguished from bread in general, in that bread in the form of cakes means the good of love towards the neighbour, which is spiritual good, while bread in general means the good of love to the Lord, which is celestial good. Such spiritual good was meant by 'the minchah' which was offered and burned with the sacrifice on the altar; for 'the minchah' was baked into cakes and into wafers, as is made clear in Exodus 29:2-3, 23-24, 32; Leviticus 2:2 and following verses; 6:20-21; Numbers 6:15, 19; 15:18-21.

[2] Something similar was meant by 'the twelve loaves of the presence which too were baked into cakes, described in Moses as follows,

You shall take fine flour and bake it into twelve cakes; two-tenths [of an ephah] shall there be in one cake. And you shall place them in two rows, six in a row, on the clean table before Jehovah. And you shall put pure frankincense on each row, and it shall be loaves of bread serving as a memorial, a fire-offering to Jehovah. Leviticus 24:5-9.

From these instructions it becomes clear that 'the loaves' meant what was holy, for such instructions would never have been issued but for that reason. And since they meant what was holy they were also called in verse 9 of the same chapter 'holiness of holinesses.' 1 But these loaves meant the good of celestial love, and their being baked into cakes meant forms of the good of spiritual love. From these verses and from those in the references given above it becomes clear that something similar is meant by the bread in the Holy Supper.

Exodus 30

Studie

   

1 "You shall make an altar to burn incense on. You shall make it of acacia wood.

2 Its length shall be a cubit, and its breadth a cubit. It shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits. Its horns shall be of one piece with it.

3 You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top, its sides around it, and its horns; and you shall make a gold molding around it.

4 You shall make two golden rings for it under its molding; on its two ribs, on its two sides you shall make them; and they shall be for places for poles with which to bear it.

5 You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.

6 You shall put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with you.

7 Aaron shall burn incense of sweet spices on it every morning. When he tends the lamps, he shall burn it.

8 When Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before Yahweh throughout your generations.

9 You shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt offering, nor meal offering; and you shall pour no drink offering on it.

10 Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once in the year; with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once in the year he shall make atonement for it throughout your generations. It is most holy to Yahweh."

11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

12 "When you take a census of the children of Israel, according to those who are numbered among them, then each man shall give a ransom for his soul to Yahweh, when you number them; that there be no plague among them when you number them.

13 They shall give this, everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary; (the shekel is twenty gerahs;) half a shekel for an offering to Yahweh.

14 Everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering to Yahweh.

15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls.

16 You shall take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the Tent of Meeting; that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls."

17 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

18 "You shall also make a basin of brass, and its base of brass, in which to wash. You shall put it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it.

19 Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in it.

20 When they go into the Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with water, that they not die; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die: and it shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his descendants throughout their generations."

22 Moreover Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

23 "Also take fine spices: of liquid myrrh, five hundred shekels; and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, even two hundred and fifty; and of fragrant cane, two hundred and fifty;

24 and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary; and a hin of olive oil.

25 You shall make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.

26 You shall use it to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the testimony,

27 the table and all its articles, the lampstand and its accessories, the altar of incense,

28 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its base.

29 You shall sanctify them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.

30 You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.

31 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'This shall be a holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations.

32 It shall not be poured on man's flesh, neither shall you make any like it, according to its composition: it is holy. It shall be holy to you.

33 Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.'"

34 Yahweh said to Moses, "Take to yourself sweet spices, gum resin, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be an equal weight;

35 and you shall make incense of it, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy:

36 and you shall beat some of it very small, and put some of it before the testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be to you most holy.

37 The incense which you shall make, according to its composition you shall not make for yourselves: it shall be to you holy for Yahweh.

38 Whoever shall make any like that, to smell of it, he shall be cut off from his people."
