Levitiko 7

1 Kaj jen estas la legxo pri la kulpofero:plejsanktajxo gxi estas.

2 Sur la loko, sur kiu estas bucxata la brulofero, oni bucxu la kulpoferon, kaj per gxia sango oni aspergu la altaron cxirkauxe.

3 Kaj gxian tutan sebon oni alportu el gxi ofere, la voston, kaj la sebon, kiu kovras la internajxojn,

4 kaj ambaux renojn, kaj la sebon, kiu estas sur ili, kiu estas cxe la lumbo, kaj la reton sur la hepato, kune kun la renoj oni gxin apartigu.

5 Kaj la pastro bruligu ilin sur la altaro kiel fajroferon al la Eternulo; gxi estas kulpofero.

6 CXiu virseksulo el la pastroj povas gxin mangxi; sur sankta loko gxi estu mangxata; gxi estas plejsanktajxo.

7 Kiel por la pekofero, tiel ankaux por la kulpofero estu la sama legxo; al la pastro, kiu pekliberigas per gxi, al li gxi apartenu.

8 Al la pastro, kiu plenumas ies bruloferon, al tiu pastro apartenu la felo de la brulofero, kiun li plenumis.

9 Kaj cxiu farunofero, kiu estas bakita en forno aux pretigita en kaserolo aux sur pato, apartenu al la pastro, kiu prezentis gxin.

10 Kaj cxiu farunofero, miksita kun oleo aux seka, apartenu al cxiuj Aaronidoj, al cxiuj egale.

11 Kaj jen estas la legxo pri la pacofero, kiu estas alportata al la Eternulo:

12 se iu gxin alportas kiel dankon, li alportu kun la danka ofero nefermentintajn kukojn, miksitajn kun oleo, kaj nefermentintajn flanojn, sxmiritajn per oleo, kaj el delikata faruno kukojn frititajn, miksitajn kun oleo.

13 Kune kun kukoj el pano fermentinta li alportu sian oferon, cxe sia danka pacofero.

14 Kaj li alportu unu el ili, el cxiu ofero, kiel oferdonon al la Eternulo; al la pastro, kiu aspergas la sangon de la pacofero, gxi apartenu.

15 Kaj la viando de la danka pacofero estu mangxata en la tago de la oferado; oni ne devas restigi iom el gxi gxis la mateno.

16 Sed se lia ofero estas sankta promeso aux memvola ofero, gxi estu mangxata en la tago de la alportado de la ofero; kaj ankaux en la sekvanta tago oni povas mangxi tion, kio restis el gxi.

17 Kaj kio restis el la viando de la ofero gxis la tria tago, tio estu forbruligata per fajro.

18 Se iu mangxos el la viando de sia pacofero en la tria tago, gxi ne akiros placxon; kiu alportos gxin, al tiu gxi ne estos kalkulata; gxi estos abomenindajxo, kaj kiu gxin mangxos, tiu havos pekon.

19 La viando, kiu ektusxis ion malpuran, ne estu mangxata, oni gxin forbruligu per fajro. La ceteran viandon povas mangxi cxiu purulo.

20 Se iu, havante sur si malpurajxon, mangxos viandon el la pacofero, kiu estis destinita por la Eternulo, ties animo ekstermigxos el sia popolo.

21 Se iu ektusxos ion malpuran, cxu malpurajxon de homo, cxu malpuran beston, cxu ian malpuran abomenindajxon, kaj mangxos el la viando de pacofero, kiu estis destinita por la Eternulo, ties animo ekstermigxos el sia popolo.

22 Kaj la Eternulo ekparolis al Moseo, dirante:

23 Diru al la Izraelidoj jene:Sebon de bovo kaj de sxafo kaj de kapro neniam mangxu.

24 La sebon de kadavrajxo kaj la sebon de besto dissxirita oni povas uzi por cxia laboro, sed mangxi gxin vi ne devas.

25 CXar cxiu, kiu mangxos sebon de brutoj, el kiuj oni alportas fajroferon al la Eternulo, la mangxinto ekstermigxos el sia popolo.

26 Kaj nenian sangon mangxu en cxiuj viaj logxejoj, nek el birdoj, nek el brutoj.

27 CXiu, kiu mangxos ian sangon, ekstermigxos el sia popolo.

28 Kaj la Eternulo ekparolis al Moseo, dirante:

29 Diru al la Izraelidoj jene:Kiu alportas sian pacoferon al la Eternulo, tiu alportu mem al la Eternulo tion, kio apartenas el liaj pacoferoj;

30 propramane li alportu la fajroferon al la Eternulo; la sebon kune kun la brustajxo li alportu; la brustajxon, por skui gxin kiel skuoferon antaux la Eternulo.

31 Kaj la pastro bruligos la sebon sur la altaro, kaj la brustajxo estos por Aaron kaj por liaj filoj.

32 Kaj la dekstran femuron el viaj pacoferoj donu kiel levoferon al la pastro.

33 Kiu el la Aaronidoj alportas la sangon de la pacoferoj kaj la sebon, al tiu apartenu la dekstra femuro kiel lia parto:

34 cxar la brustajxon-skuoferon kaj la femuron-levoferon Mi prenis de la Izraelidoj el iliaj pacoferoj, kaj Mi donis ilin al la pastro Aaron kaj al liaj filoj kiel eternan destinitajxon de la flanko de la Izraelidoj.

35 Tio estas la sankta parto de Aaron kaj la sankta parto de liaj filoj el la fajroferoj de la Eternulo de post la tago, en kiu ili estis aligitaj, por esti pastroj al la Eternulo,

36 parto, kiun la Eternulo ordonis doni al ili de la Izraelidoj en la tago, en kiu Li sanktoleis ilin. Tio estas eterna legxo en iliaj generacioj.

37 Tio estas la legxo pri la brulofero, pri la farunofero, pri la pekofero, pri la kulpofero, pri la ofero de konsekro, kaj pri la pacofero;

38 kiun la Eternulo donis al Moseo sur la monto Sinaj, kiam Li ordonis al la Izraelidoj en la dezerto Sinaja, ke ili alportadu siajn oferojn al la Eternulo.

9229. 'And men of holiness shall you be to Me' means a state of life then composed of good. This is clear from the meaning of 'men of holiness' as those who are led by the Lord, for the Divine which emanates from the Lord is holiness itself, 6788, 7499, 8127 (end), 8302, 8806. Consequently those who receive that emanation in faith and also in love are called holy ones. Anyone who imagines that a person is holy from any other source, or that anything present with a person is holy apart from that which comes and is received from the Lord is very much mistaken; for that which is the person's own, and is called his proprium, is evil.

The human proprium is nothing but evil, see 210, 215, 694, 874-876, 987, 1047, 4328, 5660, 5786, 8480, 8944.

To the extent that a person can be withheld from his proprium, the Lord can be present with him, and therefore to the same extent holiness resides with him, 1023, 1044, 1581, 2256, 2388, 2406, 2411, 8206, 8393, 8988 (end), 9014.

[2] The truth that the Lord is the Only Holy One, and that nothing is holy except that which emanates from the Lord, and so that which a person receives from the Lord, is evident from everywhere in the Word, as in John,

I make Myself holy, that they also may be made holy in the truth. John 17:19.

'Making Himself holy' means making Himself Divine by His own power. Consequently those who receive Divine Truth emanating from the Lord in faith and life are said to be 'made holy in the truth'.

[3] This also explains why after the Resurrection, when the Lord spoke to the disciples, He breathed on them and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit, John 20:22. 'Breathing on (or into)' was a sign that represented the imparting of life through faith and love, as also in Genesis,

Jehovah breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man (homo) became a living soul. Genesis 2:7.

Other examples like this may be seen elsewhere, such as Psalms 33:6; 104:29-30; Job 32:8; 33:4; John 3:8. Therefore also the Word is said to be inspired because it comes from the Lord, and those who wrote the Word have been called 'inspired'. Breathing, and so breathing on or inspiring, corresponds to the life of faith, see 97, 1119, 1120, 3883-3896. This explains why the term spirit in the Word is derived from the word for wind, and holiness from the Lord is called Jehovah's wind, 8286, and why the Holy Spirit is the holiness emanating from the Lord, 3704, 4673 (end), 5307, 6788, 6982, 6993, 8127 (end), 8302, 9199.

[4] So also it says in John 1:33 that the Lord baptizes with the Holy Spirit, and in Luke 3:16 that He baptizes with the Holy Spirit and with fire. 'Baptizing' in the internal sense means regenerating, 4255, 5120 (end), 9088; 'baptizing with the Holy Spirit' means regenerating by means of the good of faith; and 'baptizing with fire' means regenerating by means of the good of love, 'fire' being the good of love, see 934, 4906, 5215, 6314, 6832, 6834, 6849, 7324. In John,

Who is not going to fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. Revelation 15:4.

In Luke the angel telling Mary about the Lord said,

That which is holy will be born from you. Luke 1:35.

And in Daniel,

I saw in the visions of my head while on my bed, and behold, a vigilant and holy one came down from heaven. Daniel 4:13.

In these places 'that which is holy' and 'a holy one' stand for the Lord.

[5] Because the Lord alone is holy He is called in the Old Testament the Holy One of Israel, the Redeemer, the Saviour, and the Regenerator, as in Isaiah 1:4; 5:19, 24; 10:20; 12:6; 17:7; 29:19; 30:11-12, 15; 31:1; 37:23; 41:14, 16, 20; 43:3, 14; 45:11; 47:4; 48:17; 49:7; 54:5; 55:5; 60:9, 14; Jeremiah 50:29; 51:5; Ezekiel 39:7; Psalms 71:22; 78:41; 89:18. This is why the Lord in heaven, and consequently heaven itself, is called the dwelling-place of holiness, Jeremiah 25:30; 31:23; 1 Isaiah 63:15; the sanctuary, 2 Ezekiel 11:16; 24:21; and also the mountain of holiness, Psalms 3:4. It is also why the middle of the tent [of meeting], where the ark containing the law was, was called The Holy of Holies, Exodus 26:33-34; for the law in the ark in the middle of the tent [of meeting], represented the Lord in respect of the Word. For the law is the Word, 6752, 7463.

[6] All this shows why it is that the angels are called holy in Matthew 25:31; Mark 8:38; Luke 9:26; Psalms 149:1; Daniel 8:13; also the prophets, Luke 1:70; and the apostles too, Revelation 18:20. Not that they are holy by their own virtue but that the Lord, who alone is holy and the only source of holiness, makes them so. For truths are meant by 'the angels', because they are those who receive truth from the Lord, 1925, 4085, 4295, 4402, 7268, 7873, 8192, 8301; teachings which present the truth that comes through the Word from the Lord are meant by 'the prophets', 2534, 7269; and all the truths and forms of the good of faith in their entirety which come from the Lord are meant by 'the apostles', 3488, 3858 (end), 6397.

[7] Consecrations 3 among the Israelite and Jewish people took place in order that the Lord who alone was holy might be represented, and in order that holiness, which He alone is the source of, might be represented. This is the reason for the consecration of Aaron and his sons, Exodus 29:1ff; Leviticus 8:10-11, 13, 30; the consecration of their garments, Exodus 29:21ff; the consecration of the altar in order that it might be most holy, 4 Exodus 29:37ff; the consecration of the tent of meeting, the ark of the Testimony, the table, all the vessels, the altar of incense, the altar of burnt offering and its vessels, and the laver and its base, Exodus 30:26ff.

[8] The truth that the Lord is the real Holiness that was represented is evident also from the Lord's words in Matthew when they are seen in the internal sense,

Fools and blind! Which of the two is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold holy? And which of the two is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift holy? Matthew 23:17-19.

'The temple' represented the Lord Himself, and so did 'the altar', while 'the gold' was a sign of the good that comes from the Lord, and 'the gift' or a sacrifice was a sign of things constituting faith and charity that come from the Lord.

The Lord was represented by 'the temple', see 2777, 3720, and by 'the altar', 2777, 2811, 4489, 8935, 8940. 'Gold' was a sign of good that comes from the Lord, 1551, 1552, 5658, and 'a sacrifice' a sign of worship springing from faith and charity that come from the Lord, 922, 923, 2805, 2807, 2830, 6905, 8680, 8682, 8936.

[9] From all this it is now evident why it is that the children of Israel were called a holy people in Deuteronomy 26:19 and elsewhere, or as in the present verse men of holiness. That is to say, they were so called because every single aspect of their worship represented Divine realities that are the Lord's, and celestial and spiritual things of His kingdom and Church. On this account they were called holy in a representative sense; they themselves were not holy on that account, because representatives had regard to the holy things that were represented, not to the person who represented them, see 665, 1097 (end), 1361, 3147, 3881 (end), 4208, 4281, 4288, 4293, 4307, 4444, 4500, 6304, 7048, 7439, 8588, 8788, 8806.

[10] On that account also was Jerusalem called holy, and Zion the mountain of holiness in Zechariah 8:3 and elsewhere, as well as in Matthew,

And the tombs were opened, and many bodies of dead holy ones were raised; and coming out of their tombs after the Lord's resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many. Matthew 27:52-53.

Here Jerusalem is called 'the holy city', when in fact, quite to the contrary, it was unholy because the Lord was crucified there at that time, for which reason it is called 'Sodom and Egypt' in John,

Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Revelation 11:8.

Yet it is called holy, because it means the Lord's kingdom and the Church, 402, 2117, 3654. The appearance of 'dead holy ones' there, an event witnessed by some in vision, was a sign of the salvation of people who belonged to the spiritual Church, and of the raising of those people to the Holy Jerusalem, which is heaven - the people who had been kept up to that time on the lower earth, spoken of in 6854, 6914, 7091, 7828, 7932, 8049, 8054, 8159, 8321.
