Exodus 28

Studie

   

1 Sina aga lase enese ette astuda Iisraeli laste seast oma vend Aaron ja tema pojad, et nad oleksid mulle preestriteks: Aaron, Naadab, Abihu, Eleasar ja Iitamar, Aaroni pojad.

2 Ja tee oma vennale Aaronile pühad riided auks ning iluks!

3 Räägi kõigi südamest tarkadega, keda ma olen täitnud tarkuse vaimuga, et nad teeksid Aaronile riided, et teda saaks pühitseda mulle preestriks!

4 Ja need on riided, mis nad peavad tegema: rinnakilp, õlarüü, ülekuub, kirjatud särk, peakate ja vöö; nad tehku pühad riided su vennale Aaronile ja tema poegadele, et nad saaksid olla mulle preestriteks!

5 Nad võtku kulda ja sinist, purpurpunast ja helepunast lõnga ning linast lõime

6 ja tehku õlarüü kuldsest, sinisest, purpurpunasest ja helepunasest lõngast ning korrutatud linasest lõimest kunstipäraselt kootuna!

7 Sellel olgu kaks ühendatud õlatükki, mõlemast otsast seotud!

8 Ja kunstipärane kinnitusvöö selle küljes olgu samasugune töö ning sellega ühest tükist: kuldsest, sinisest, purpurpunasest ja helepunasest lõngast ning korrutatud linasest lõimest.

9 Võta siis kaks karneoolikivi ja uurenda neisse Iisraeli poegade nimed:

10 kuus nende nimedest ühte kivisse ja kuus ülejäänud nime teise kivisse nende sünnijärgluses.

11 Otsekui kivinikerdaja uurendab pitsatit, nõnda uurenda Iisraeli poegade nimed neisse mõlemasse kivisse; valmista need ümbritseva kuldäärisega!

12 Aseta need kaks kivi õlarüü õlatükkidele kui mälestuskivid Iisraeli poegadele; ja Aaron kandku kummalgi õlal nende nimesid mälestuseks Issanda ees!

13 Tee kullast ääris

14 ja puhtast kullast kaks ketti; tee need punutuina, nööritaoliselt valmistatuina, ja kinnita need punutud ketid äärise külge!

15 Ja tee kohtu-rinnakilp kunstipäraselt kootuna; tee see nõnda, nagu on tehtud õlarüügi: tee see kuldsest, sinisest, purpurpunasest ja helepunasest lõngast ning korrutatud linasest lõimest!

16 See olgu neljanurgeline ja kahekordne, vaksapikkune ja vaksalaiune.

17 Kata see kalliskivipealistusega, neli rida kive: rubiin, topaas, smaragd ridamisi esimeses reas;

18 teises reas: türkiis, safiir, jaspis;

19 kolmandas reas: hüatsint, ahhaat, ametüst;

20 neljandas reas: krüsoliit, karneool, nefriit; kuldäärisest ümbritsetuina olgu need oma asemeis!

21 Kivid olgu vastavalt Iisraeli poegade nimedele nende kaheteistkümne nimega, igal pitsatitaoliselt uurendatud nimi vastavalt kaheteistkümnele suguharule!

22 Tee rinnakilbile puhtast kullast ketid, nööritaoliselt keerutatud!

23 Tee rinnakilbile kaks kuldrõngast ja pane need kaks rõngast rinnakilbi kahe nurga külge!

24 Ja pane need kaks kuldnööri mõlemasse rõngasse rinnakilbi nurkadel!

25 Mõlema nööri mõlemad otsad kinnita mõlema äärise külge ja kinnita need õlatükkidele õlarüü esiküljes!

26 Tee kaks kuldrõngast ja pane need rinnakilbi kahte nurka, selle ääre külge, mis on seespool vastu õlarüüd!

27 Ja tee veel kaks kuldrõngast ja pane need õlarüü mõlema õlatüki külge, selle esikülje allosasse, ühenduskohale ülespoole õlarüü vööd!

28 Rõngastega rinnakilp seotagu sinise nööriga õlarüü rõngaste külge, et see oleks ülalpool õlarüü vööd ja et rinnakilp ei tuleks lahti õlarüü küljest!

29 Nõnda kandku Aaron, kui ta läheb pühamusse, Iisraeli poegade nimesid kohtu-rinnakilbis oma südame peal alaliseks mälestuseks Issanda ees!

30 Pane kohtu-rinnakilpi ka uurim ja tummim, need olgu Aaroni südame peal, kui ta astub Issanda palge ette! Nõnda kandku Aaron alati Issanda ees Iisraeli laste õigusemõistu oma südame peal!

31 Tee õlarüü ülekuub üleni sinisest lõngast

32 ja sellel olgu keskel avaus pea jaoks; avause ümber olgu kootud äär, see olgu nagu raudrüü avaus, et see ei rebeneks.

33 Tee palistuse külge granaatõunad sinisest, purpurpunasest ja helepunasest lõngast ümber palistuse ja kuldkellukesed ümberringi nende vahele:

34 kuldkelluke ja granaatõun, kuldkelluke ja granaatõun ümber ülekuue palistuse!

35 See olgu Aaronil teenides seljas ja selle helinat olgu kuulda, kui ta läheb pühamusse Issanda ette või tuleb sealt välja, et ta ei sureks!

36 Tee puhtast kullast laubaehe ja uurenda sellesse nagu pitsatisse uurendatakse: 'Issandale pühitsetud!'

37 Kinnita see sinise nööriga peakatte külge; see olgu peakatte esiküljes!

38 See olgu Aaroni laubal, et Aaron kannaks süüd pühade andide puhul, mida Iisraeli lapsed pühitsevad, kõigi nende pühade ohvriandide puhul; see olgu alati ta laubal, et neid teha armsaiks Issanda ees!

39 Koo linasest lõimest särk, samuti tee linasest riidest peakate; ja tee vöö kirjatud tegumoes!

40 Tee Aaroni poegadele särgid ja tee neile vööd; ja tee neile peakatted auks ning iluks!

41 Pane need selga oma vennale Aaronile ja tema poegadele; ja võia neid, täida nende käed ja pühitse nad mulle preestriteks!

42 Tee neile linased püksid palja ihu katteks; need ulatugu puusadest alla reiteni;

43 need olgu jalas Aaronil ja tema poegadel, kui nad lähevad kogudusetelki või astuvad pühamus teenides altari ette, et nad ei saaks süüdlasteks ega sureks. See olgu igaveseks seadluseks temale ja ta soole pärast teda!

2187. And they did eat. That this signifies communication in this manner, is evident from the signification of “eating,” as being to be communicated and to be conjoined; as is also evident from the Word. The fact that Aaron, his sons, the Levites, and also the people, ate the hallowed things of the sacrifices in the holy place, signified nothing else than communication, conjunction, and appropriation, as above said at the explication of the passage from Leviticus 6:9-10 (see n. 2177), for it was celestial and spiritual food that was signified by the hallowed things which they ate, consequently the appropriation of it. The hallowed things were the parts of the sacrifices which were not burned upon the altar, and were eaten either by the priests, or by the people that made the offering; as is evident from many passages where the sacrifices are treated of (what should be eaten by the priests, Exodus 29:32-33; Leviticus 6:9, 16, 18, 26; 7:6, 15-16, 18; 8:31; 10:12-13; Numbers 18:9-11; what should be eaten by the people, Leviticus 19:5-6; Deuteronomy 12:27; 27:7; and elsewhere; and that the unclean should not eat of them, Leviticus 7:19-21; 22:4-7). These feastings were made in a holy place near the altar, either at the door, or in the court of the tabernacle, and they signified nothing else than the communication, conjunction, and appropriation of celestial goods; for by them were represented celestial foods (concerning which food see n. 56-58, 680-681, 1480, 1695), and they were all called “bread,” the signification of which may be seen above (n. 2165). The like was represented by Aaron and his sons eating the showbread or “bread of faces,” in a holy place (Leviticus 24:9).

[2] The law given for the Nazirite-that in the days of his Naziriteship he should not eat of anything from the grape, whence wine is made, from the seeds even to the skin (Numbers 6:4)—was because the Nazirite represented the celestial man, and the celestial man is such that he is not willing even to mention spiritual things (as may be seen in Part First,n. 202, 337, 880, 1647); and as wine and the grape, and also whatever is from the grape, signified what is spiritual, it was therefore forbidden the Nazirite to eat of them; that is, to have communication with them, to conjoin himself with them, and to appropriate them to himself.

[3] The like is meant by “eating” in Isaiah:

Everyone that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no silver, come ye, buy, and eat; yea come, buy wine and milk without silver and without price. Wherefore do ye weigh silver for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which satisfieth not? Hearken diligently unto Me, and eat ye that which is good, and your soul shall be deliciated in fatness (Isaiah 55:1-2).

As also in John:

To him that overcometh I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God (Revelation 2:7).

The “tree of life” is the celestial itself, and in the supreme sense is the Lord Himself, because from Him is all the celestial, that is, all love and charity. Thus to “eat of the tree of life” is the same as to eat the Lord, and to eat the Lord is to be gifted with love and charity, and thus with those things which are of heavenly life. This the Lord Himself says in John:

I am the living bread that came down from heaven; if anyone eat of this bread, he shall live to eternity; he that eateth Me shall live by Me (John 6:51, 57).

But they said, This is a hard saying. And Jesus said, The words that I speak unto you are spirit, and are life (John 6:60, 63).

[4] Hence it is manifest what is meant by eating in the Holy Supper (Matthew 26:26-28; Mark 14:22-23; Luke 22:19-20); namely, to have communication, to be conjoined, and to appropriate to oneself. Hence also it is clear what is meant by the Lord’s saying that:

Many shall come from the east and the west, and shall recline with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Matthew 8:11),

not that they are to eat with them in the kingdom of God, but that they will enjoy the celestial goods which are signified by “Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,” namely, the celestial things of love; not only the inmost, which are “Abraham,” but also the lower that are intermediate, as are those of the rational, which are “Isaac;” and the still lower, which are the celestial natural, such as are in the first heaven, and which are meant by “Jacob.” Such is the internal sense of these words. (That these things are meant by “Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,” may be seen in n. 1893, and wherever else they are treated of.) For whether we speak of enjoying those celestial things, or of enjoying the Lord, who is represented by those men, it is the same thing; for all those things are from the Lord, and the Lord is the all in all of them.

9 "Command Aaron and his sons, saying, 'This is the law of the burnt offering: the burnt offering shall be on the hearth on the altar all night until the morning; and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it.

10 The priest shall put on his linen garment, and he shall put on his linen breeches upon his body; and he shall remove the ashes from where the fire has consumed the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.
