1 Kaj la Eternulo ekparolis al Moseo, dirante:

2 Parolu al la Izraelidoj, kaj diru al ili:Kiam vi venos en la landon de via logxado, kiun Mi donas al vi,

3 kaj vi faros fajroferon al la Eternulo, bruloferon aux bucxoferon, plenumante sanktan promeson aux farante memvolan oferon, aux en viaj festoj, por fari agrablan odorajxon al la Eternulo el grandaj brutoj aux el malgrandaj:

4 tiam la oferdonanto devas alporti al la Eternulo farunoferon el dekono de efo da delikata faruno, miksita kun kvarono de hino da oleo;

5 kaj da vino por versxofero kvaronon de hino aldonu al la brulofero aux al la bucxofero al cxiu sxafido.

6 Kaj cxe sxafo alportu farunoferon el du dekonoj de efo da delikata faruno, miksita kun triono de hino da oleo.

7 Kaj da vino por versxofero trionon de hino; alportu tion kiel agrablan odorajxon al la Eternulo.

8 Kaj se bovidon vi alportos kiel bruloferon aux bucxoferon, por plenumi sanktan promeson, aux kiel pacoferon al la Eternulo,

9 tiam kun la bovido oni devas alporti farunoferon el tri dekonoj de efo da delikata faruno, miksita kun duono de hino da oleo;

10 kaj da vino por versxofero alportu duonon de hino kiel fajroferon, agrablan odorajxon al la Eternulo.

11 Tiel oni devas fari cxe cxiu bovo aux cxe cxiu sxafo aux cxe brutido el sxafoj aux kaproj.

12 Laux la nombro de la oferoj, kiujn vi faros, agu tiel cxe cxiu, laux ilia nombro.

13 CXiu indigxeno faru tion tiamaniere, alportante fajroferon, agrablan odorajxon al la Eternulo.

14 Kaj se logxas inter vi fremdulo aux kiu ajn estas inter vi en viaj generacioj, kaj li alportos fajroferon, agrablan odorajxon al la Eternulo, tiam li faru tiel, kiel vi faras.

15 Por la tuta komunumo devas esti unu legxo, por vi kaj por la fremdulo inter vi; legxo eterna en viaj generacioj, kiel por vi, tiel ankaux por la fremdulo, estu antaux la Eternulo.

16 Unu legxo kaj Unu rajto estu por vi, kaj por la fremdulo, kiu logxas kun vi.

17 Kaj la Eternulo ekparolis al Moseo, dirante:

18 Parolu al la Izraelidoj, kaj diru al ili:Kiam vi venos en la landon, en kiun Mi vin kondukas,

19 kaj vi mangxos la panon de tiu lando, tiam donu oferdonon al la Eternulo.

20 Kiel unuaajxon el via pasto alportu oferdone kukon; kiel oferdonon el la grenejo, tiel oferdonu gxin.

21 El la unuaajxoj de via pasto donu al la Eternulo oferdonon en viaj generacioj.

22 Kaj se vi eraros, kaj ne plenumos cxiujn tiujn ordonojn, kiujn la Eternulo diris al Moseo,

23 cxion, kion la Eternulo ordonis al vi per Moseo, de la tago, en kiu la Eternulo ordonis, kaj plue, en viaj generacioj;

24 tiam se pro neatento de la komunumo estis farita la eraro, la tuta komunumo alportu unu bovidon kiel bruloferon, kiel agrablan odorajxon al la Eternulo, kun gxia farunofero kaj gxia versxofero laux la regularo, kaj unu kapron kiel pekoferon.

25 Kaj la pastro pekliberigos la tutan komunumon de la Izraelidoj, kaj estos pardonite al ili; cxar tio estis eraro, kaj ili alportis sian oferon, fajroferon al la Eternulo, kaj sian pekoferon antaux la Eternulo pro sia peko.

26 Kaj estos pardonite al la tuta komunumo de la Izraelidoj, kaj al la fremdulo, kiu logxas inter ili; cxar la tuta popolo eraris.

27 Kaj se unu homo pekos per eraro, tiam li alportu kaprinon jaragxan kiel pekoferon.

28 Kaj la pastro pekliberigos la homon, kiu eraris, pekante per eraro antaux la Eternulo; li pekliberigos lin, kaj estos pardonite al li.

29 Kiel por la indigxeno el la Izraelidoj, tiel ankaux por la fremdulo, kiu logxas inter ili, unu legxo estu por vi por tiu, kiu eraris.

30 Sed se iu faris ion per mano malhumila, cxu li estas indigxeno, cxu fremdulo, li blasfemis kontraux la Eternulo; kaj ekstermigxos tiu homo el inter sia popolo;

31 cxar la vorton de la Eternulo li malestimis kaj Lian ordonon li malobeis; ekstermigxu tiu homo, lia peko estas sur li.

32 Kiam la Izraelidoj estis en la dezerto, ili trovis homon, kiu kolektis lignon en tago sabata.

33 Kaj tiuj, kiuj trovis lin, kiam li kolektis lignon, alkondukis lin al Moseo kaj al Aaron kaj al la tuta komunumo.

34 Kaj oni metis lin en gardejon, cxar ne estis ankoraux klarigite, kion oni devas fari al li.

35 Kaj la Eternulo diris al Moseo:Tiu homo mortu; per sxtonoj mortigu lin la tuta komunumo ekster la tendaro.

36 Kaj la tuta komunumo elkondukis lin ekster la tendaron kaj mortigis lin per sxtonoj, kaj li mortis; kiel la Eternulo ordonis al Moseo.

37 Kaj la Eternulo diris al Moseo jene:

38 Parolu al la Izraelidoj, kaj diru al ili, ke ili faru al si kvastojn sur la randoj de siaj vestoj en siaj generacioj, kaj ili enmetu en la kvaston de la rando fadenon bluan.

39 Kaj gxi estu por vi kvasto, kiun rigardante, vi rememoros cxiujn ordonojn de la Eternulo kaj plenumos ilin kaj ne iros laux viaj koroj kaj viaj okuloj, kiujn vi malcxaste sekvadas;

40 por ke vi memoru kaj plenumu cxiujn Miajn ordonojn kaj estu sanktaj antaux via Dio.

41 Mi estas la Eternulo, via Dio, kiu elkondukis vin el la lando Egipta, por ke Mi estu via Dio. Mi estas la Eternulo, via Dio.

9995. 'Of fine wheat flour you shall make them' means truth which springs from Divine Good, of which those [celestial kinds of good] consist. This is clear from the meaning of 'fine flour' as truth, dealt with below; from the meaning of 'wheat' as the good of love, dealt with in 3941, and so in the highest sense as Divine Good; and from the meaning of 'making them' as the requirement that those kinds of celestial good, meant by unleavened bread, cakes, and wafers, must consist of that truth. The situation in all this is that all the truths and forms of good that exist in heaven have their origin in Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good. This Divine Truth as received by angels in the celestial kingdom is called celestial good, but as received in the spiritual kingdom by angels there it is called spiritual good; for no matter how often Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good is called Truth it is still good. The reason for referring to it as Truth is that it appears in heaven, before angels' outward sight there, as light; for the light there is Divine Truth, but the heat within that light, which is the good of love, causes it to be good. The situation is similar with people in this world. When the truth of faith emanates from the good of charity, as happens when a person has been regenerated, truth appears as good, which is also as a consequence called spiritual good since the inner being of truth is good, and truth is the outward form of good.

[2] From all this it may become clear why a person finds it so hard to distinguish between thinking and willing, for when he wills something he says that he thinks it, and often when he thinks something that he wills it. Yet they are as distinct and separate as truth and good are; for the inner being of thought is the will and the outward form of the will is thought, just as the inner being of truth is good and the outward form of good is truth, as stated immediately above. Since a person finds it so hard to distinguish one from the other he does not know what the inner being of his life is, or that good constitutes it, not truth except insofar as it springs from good. Good belongs to the will, and the will consists in what a person loves, so that truth does not become the being of a person's life until he loves it; and when the person loves it he does it. Truth however belongs to the understanding, whose function is thinking; and when he thinks it he is able to speak about it. Also it is possible to understand the truth and think it without willing or doing it; but then it does not become the person's own, part of his life, because it does not have within itself the inner being of his life. Knowing nothing about any of this a person consequently ascribes salvation wholly to faith and scarcely at all to charity, when in fact faith receives its inner being of life from charity, even as truth receives it from good.

[3] Furthermore all good with a person is given form by truth, for good flows in from the Lord by an inward path, while truth enters by an outward path. They then marry in the internal man, though in one way in the case of a spiritual person or angel and in another in the case of a celestial person or angel. With a spiritual person or angel the marriage takes place in the understanding part of the mind, but in a celestial person or angel in the will part. The outward path by which truth enters lies through hearing and sight into the understanding, but the inward path by which good flows in from the Lord lies through what is inmost in the person into the will. On this subject see what has been shown in the places referred to in 9596. From all this it is evident that the celestial kinds of good meant by unleavened bread, cakes, and wafers, come into being through Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good, and that this is what should be understood by 'of fine wheat flour you shall make them'. This goes to explain why minchahs, though varying in how they were made, all consisted of fine flour mixed with oil, see Leviticus 2:1-16; 6:20-23; Numbers 7:13ff; 15:2-15; 28:11-15.

[4] The fact that 'fine flour', and also 'flour', mean truth that springs from good is clear from the following places: In Ezekiel,

You ate fine flour, honey, and oil; therefore you became extremely beautiful. Ezekiel 16:13.

These things are said of Jerusalem, by which the Ancient Church is meant in that chapter in Ezekiel. 'Fine flour' means that Church's truth which springs from good, 'honey' its delight, 'oil' the good of love, and 'eating' making it one's own. The words 'you became beautiful' are consequently used, for spiritual beauty comes as a result of truths and forms of good.

[5] In Hosea,

He does not have any standing grain; the ears will yield no flour. [If] by chance they do yield it, aliens will swallow it up. Hosea 8:7.

'Standing grain' means the truth of faith springing from good, in the process of being conceived, 9146, 'the ears will yield no flour' sterility because there is no truth springing from good, and 'aliens' who 'will swallow it up' falsities arising from evil that will consume it.

[6] In 1 Kings 17:12-15 the Sidonian woman in Zarephath told Elijah that she had nothing to make a cake with except a handful of flour in a jar and a tiny amount of oil in a flask. So Elijah told her that she should make a cake for him first, and that 'the jar of flour will not be used up, nor will the flask of oil fail', which was indeed what happened. Here 'flour' means the Church's truth, and 'oil' its good; for the woman in Sidon represents a Church that is in possession of cognitions or knowledge of truth and good, while Elijah the Prophet represents the Lord in respect of the Word. From this it is evident what this miracle has to do with, for all the miracles described in the Word have to do with things such as belong to the Church, 7337, 8364, 9086. From this it is evident what is meant by 'the jar of flour will not be used up, nor will the flask of oil fail' if from the little she had she made a cake for Elijah first and for her son after that. For the meaning of 'the woman' as the Church, see 252, 253; for that of 'Sidon' as cognitions of truth and good, 1201; and for that of 'Elijah' as the Lord in respect of the Word, 2762, 5247 (end).

[7] In Isaiah,

O daughter of Babel, take a mill, and grind flour. Isaiah 47:1-2.

'Daughter of Babel' stands for those within the Church who are outwardly holy but inwardly unholy. 'Grinding flour' stands for choosing matters from the literal sense of the Word such as serve to strengthen the evils of self-love and love of the world. For any such evil is unholy, 'grinding' describes choosing, and also explaining in support of those kinds of love, while 'flour' means truth that serves, see 4335.

[8] From all this it is evident what 'grinding' means and therefore what something 'ground up' means, as in Jeremiah,

Princes have been hung up by their hands, the faces of the old men have not been honoured; the young men have been led away to grind at the mill. Lamentations 5:12-13.

In Moses,

Moses took the calf which they had made, and burned it in the fire, and ground it up till it became fine powder 1 . Then he sprinkled it over the face of the water and made the children of Israel drink it. Exodus 32:20; Deuteronomy 9:21.

And in Matthew,

At that time two will be in the field, one will be taken, the other left behind. Two women grinding; one will be taken, the other will be left behind. Matthew 24:40-41.

From these places it is evident what 'grinding' means, namely this: In a good sense it means choosing truths from the Word and explaining them in such a way that they are made to serve what is good, and in a bad sense in such a way that they are made to serve what is bad, see 7780. And from this it is also clear what something 'ground up' means, consequently what 'flour' and 'fine flour' mean.
