1 Se iu pekos per tio, ke li auxdos jxuron kaj estos atestanto, aux ke li vidos aux scios, sed ne sciigos kaj portos sur si la pekon;

2 aux se iu ektusxos ion malpuran, aux kadavrajxon de malpura besto, aux kadavrajxon de malpura bruto, aux kadavrajxon de malpura rampajxo, kaj li tion ne scios, kaj li malpurigxos kaj kulpigxos;

3 aux se iu ektusxos malpurajxon de homo, kia ajn estus tiu malpurajxo, per kiu oni malpurigxas, kaj li tion ne scios, kaj poste li sciigxos, kaj li estos kulpa;

4 aux se iu per nesingarda busxo jxuros fari ion malbonan aux bonan, kion ajn homo elesprimas per jxuro, kaj li tion ne rimarkos, kaj poste li sciigxos, kaj li estos kulpa pri io el tiuj aferoj:

5 se iu estos kulpa pri io el tiuj aferoj, li faru konfeson pri tio, kion li pekis;

6 kaj pro sia peko, kiun li pekis, li alportu al la Eternulo kiel propekan oferon inon el la malgrandaj brutoj, sxafinon aux kaprinon; kaj la pastro liberigos lin de lia peko.

7 Kaj se li ne estos suficxe bonstata, por alporti sxafinon, li alportu pro sia peko, kiun li pekis, du turtojn aux du kolombidojn al la Eternulo, unu kiel propekan oferon, la duan kiel bruloferon.

8 Li alportu ilin al la pastro, kaj cxi tiu prezentos antauxe tiun, kiu estos propeka ofero, kaj li tordorompos gxian kapon cxe la nuko, sed ne apartigos gxin;

9 kaj li aspergos per la sango de la propeka ofero la muron de la altaro, kaj la restintan sangon li elpremos cxe la bazo de la altaro; tio estas propeka ofero.

10 Kaj el la dua li faros bruloferon laux la reguloj; kaj la pastro liberigos lin de la peko, kiun li pekis, kaj estos pardonite al li.

11 Se li ne estos suficxe bonstata, por alporti du turtojn aux du kolombidojn, tiam li alportu kiel oferon pro sia peko dekonon de efo da delikata faruno, kiel propekan oferon; li ne versxu sur gxin oleon kaj ne metu sur gxin olibanon, cxar gxi estas propeka ofero.

12 Kaj li alportu gxin al la pastro, kaj la pastro prenos el gxi plenmanon kiel memorparton kaj bruligos sur la altaro kun la fajroferoj al la Eternulo; gxi estas propeka ofero.

13 Kaj la pastro liberigos lin de lia peko, kiun li pekis koncerne iun el tiuj aferoj, kaj estos pardonite al li; la restajxo estu por la pastro, kiel farunofero.

14 Kaj la Eternulo ekparolis al Moseo, dirante:

15 Se iu kulpigxos, pekante per eraro kontraux la sanktajxoj de la Eternulo, tiam li alportu kiel prokulpan oferon al la Eternulo virsxafon sendifektan el la malgrandaj brutoj, havantan laux via taksado la valoron de du sikloj, laux la sankta siklo; gxi estu prokulpa ofero.

16 Kaj pro la sanktajxo, kontraux kiu li pekis, li pagu, kaj li aldonu kvinonon de gxia valoro kaj donu tion al la pastro; kaj la pastro pekliberigos lin per la prokulpa virsxafo, kaj estos pardonite al li.

17 Kaj se iu pekos, farante iun el tiuj aferoj, kiujn la Eternulo malpermesis, sed li ne sciis kaj farigxis kulpa, kaj li portos sur si sian pekon:

18 tiam li alportu virsxafon sendifektan el la malgrandaj brutoj, laux via taksado, kiel kulpoferon al la pastro; kaj la pastro pekliberigos lin koncerne lian eraron, kiun li faris ne sciante, kaj estos pardonite al li.

19 GXi estas prokulpa ofero; li kulpigxis antaux la Eternulo.

10210. 'With the blood of the sin [offering] of expiations' means by means of truths which spring from the good of innocence. This is clear from the meaning of 'the blood' as Divine Truth, dealt with in 4735, 6978, 7317, 7326, 7846, 7850, 9127, 9393, 10026, 10033, 10047; and from the meaning of 'the sin [offering] of expiations', or the sin sacrifice by means of which expiation was made, as purification from evils and consequent falsities.

'Sin' is used to mean a sacrifice for sin, see 10039.

'Expiation' means purification from evils and consequent falsities, 9506.

The reason why this purification is accomplished by means of truths which spring from the good of innocence is that the blood with which the expiation was accomplished came from a young bull or from a lamb, and 'a young bull' means the good of innocence in the external man, 9391, 9990, 10132, 'a lamb' the good of innocence in the internal man, 10132; and innocence must be present if truth and good are to be received, 3111, 3994, 4797, 6013, 6765, 7836(end), 7840, 9262, 10134, as well as the places referred to in 10021. The good of innocence consists in acknowledging that all truths and forms of good come from the Lord and none at all from the human self or proprium; thus it consists in wishing to be led by the Lord and not by self. From this it is evident that the more a person trusts and believes in himself, thus the more he is ruled by self-love, the less the good of innocence is present in him. This is why a person cannot be purified from evils unless the good of innocence is present in him. For if this good is not present that person is led not by the Lord but by self; and anyone who is led by self is led by hell, since the human proprium is nothing but evil, and all evil belongs to hell. The fact that every expiation was accomplished with the blood either of a young bull, or of a lamb, or of turtle doves, that is, young pigeons, is clear in Moses, in Exodus 29:36; Leviticus 4:1-7, 13-18, 27-end; 5:1-7; 15:14, 24, 28-31; Numbers 6:9-11. 'Turtle doves' and 'young pigeons' as well mean the good of innocence.

7850. 'And they shall eat the flesh' means enjoyment of what is good. This is clear from the meaning of 'eating' as enjoyment, dealt with immediately above in 7849; and from the meaning of 'the flesh' as the human proprium made alive by the Lord's Divine Human, thus all the celestial and spiritual good present with a person, dealt with in 3813, 6968. The fact that 'flesh' has this meaning was very well known among the ancients; but at the present day people are so ignorant of it that everyone is amazed when 'flesh' is said to mean such. If one speaks of the proprium as the spiritual entity to which 'flesh' corresponds, people have no understanding of this. If one speaks of it as the symbolic meaning of 'flesh' they do, it is true, understand that, yet their idea is entirely different from that in which the natural object corresponds to the entity it symbolizes; that is to say, they see it as something completely separate. But in actual fact the spiritual or symbolized entity to which it corresponds is linked to it as a person's sight is linked to his eye and his hearing to his ear, and as his thought, which is spiritual, is linked to the form his interiors assume, and through that form to his organs of speech, or as his will, which too is spiritual, is linked to the fibres forming his muscles with which he acts. The same kind of relationship exists with every spiritual entity and its counterpart, that is, with every entity that is symbolized and the natural object that has a correspondence with it.

[2] Who can fail to see that 'flesh' is not used by the Lord to mean flesh or 'blood' to mean blood in John,

Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you will have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is truly food, and My blood is truly drink. John 6:53-56.

Few at the present day know that 'flesh' was used to mean the Divine Good of the Lord's Divine Love, which comes from His Divine Human, and 'blood' to mean the Divine Truth emanating from His Divine Good, and also a person's reciprocation. And those who are capable of knowing this have no wish to know it. They have no wish to know it because they have no affection for truth for its own sake, only for the sake of inducements the world offers, and also because people who think on a natural level wish to understand everything on that level.

[3] These matters have been stated in order that people may know what is meant by 'eating flesh' in the Passover supper, and what is consequently meant by it in the Holy Supper, which was instituted at the Passover supper. Regarding the bread and wine, which have the same meaning as flesh and blood, in the Holy Supper, see 2165, 2177, 2187, 3464, 3478, 3735, 3813, 4211, 4217, 4735, 4976, 5915. The fact that 'flesh' is not flesh in the spiritual sense of the Word is, in addition to other places, plainly evident from the following in John,

Come and gather yourselves to the supper of the great God, so that you may eat [the flesh of kings, and] the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and those seated on them, and the flesh of all free men and slaves, both small and great. Revelation 19:17-18.

'The flesh', as it is used here, means varying kinds of good.
