Exodus 29

Studie

   

1 Ja see on kirjeldus, mida sa nendega pead tegema, pühitsedes neid mulle preestriteks: võta üks noor härjavärss ja kaks veatut jäära,

2 hapnemata leiba, õliga segatud hapnemata kakke ja õliga võitud õhukesi hapnemata kooke; tee need peenest nisujahust!

3 Pane need ühte korvi ja too need korviga kaasa, siis kui tood härjavärsi ja kaks jäära!

4 Too Aaron ja tema pojad kogudusetelgi ukse juurde ja pese neid veega!

5 Võta riided ja pane Aaronile selga: särk ja õlarüü ülekuub, õlarüü ja rinnakilp, ja seo temale ümber õlarüü vöö!

6 Pane temale peakate pähe ja kinnita püha laubaehe peakatte külge!

7 Võta võideõli ja vala temale pähe ja võia teda!

8 Too esile ta pojad ja pane neile särgid selga!

9 Vööta nad vööga, Aaron ja tema pojad, ning seo nende peakatted! Preestriamet kuulugu neile igavese seaduse järgi. Ja täida Aaroni ja tema poegade käed!

10 Too härjavärss kogudusetelgi ette ning Aaron ja tema pojad pangu oma käed härjavärsi pea peale!

11 Tapa härjavärss Issanda ees kogudusetelgi ukse juures!

12 Võta härjavärsi verd ja määri sõrmega altari sarvedele; kogu veri aga vala altari jalale!

13 Ja võta kõik sisikonda kattev rasv, maksarasv, mõlemad neerud ja rasv, mis nende küljes on, ja süüta altaril põlema!

14 Aga härjavärsi liha, nahk ja sisikond põleta tulega väljaspool leeri; see on patuohver!

15 Võta üks jääradest ning Aaron ja tema pojad pangu oma käed jäära pea peale!

16 Tapa see jäär ja võta ta verd ning piserda altarile ümberringi!

17 Raiu jäär tükkideks, pese ta sisikond ja sääred ning pane need ta tükkide ja pea peale!

18 Siis süüta kogu see jäär altaril põlema; see on põletusohver Issandale, see on healõhnaline tuleohver Issandale!

19 Seejärel võta teine jäär ning Aaron ja tema pojad pangu oma käed jäära pea peale!

20 Tapa see jäär ja võta ta verd ning määri Aaroni parema kõrva lestale ja tema poegade parema kõrva lestale, ja nende parema käe pöidlale ja parema jala suurele varbale; muu veri aga piserda altarile ümberringi!

21 Võta altaril olevat verd ja võideõli ja piserda Aaroni ja tema riiete peale, nõndasamuti tema poegade ja poegade riiete peale; siis saavad pühaks tema ja ta riided, ja samuti tema pojad ja poegade riided!

22 Võta siis jäära rasv ja rasvane saba, sisikonna võrkkile rasv ja maksarasv, mõlemad neerud ja rasv, mis nende küljes on, ja parempoolne saps, sest see on pühitsusjäär,

23 üks päts leiba, üks õliga segatud leivakakk ja üks õhuke koogike hapnemata leibade korvist, mis on Issanda ees,

24 ja pane need kõik Aaroni käte peale ja tema poegade käte peale ning kõiguta neid kõigutusohvrina Issanda ees!

25 Siis võta need nende käte pealt ja põleta altaril põletusohvri peal meeldivaks lõhnaks Issanda ees; see on tuleohver Issandale!

26 Võta rinnaliha Aaroni pühitsusjäärast ja kõiguta seda kõigutusohvrina Issanda ees; ja see saagu siis sinule!

27 Pühitse kõigutusrinda ja tõstesapsu, mida on kõigutatud ja mida on tõstetud Aaroni ja tema poegade pühitsusohvri jäärast,

28 ja need saagu Iisraeli lastelt Aaronile ja tema poegadele igavese seaduse järgi, sest see on tõstelõiv; ja kui tõstelõiv on see Iisraeli lastelt nende tänu-tapaohvritest, tõstelõiv Issandale!

29 Aaroni pühad riided saagu pärast teda ta poegadele, et neidki nende sees võitaks ja nende käed täidetaks!

30 Seitse päeva kandku neid oma seljas see ta poegadest, kes saab preestriks, kes läheb kogudusetelki, et pühamus teenida!

31 Võta pühitsusjäär ja keeda selle liha pühas paigas!

32 Ja Aaron ja tema pojad söögu jäära liha ja leiba, mis on korvis, kogudusetelgi ukse ees!

33 Nad söögu seda, millega lepitust toodi, kui nende käed täideti ja neid pühitseti; aga võõras ei tohi seda süüa, sest see on püha!

34 Ja kui pühitsusohvri lihast ja leivast midagi jääb üle hommikuks, siis põleta see jääk tulega: seda ei tohi süüa, sest see on püha!

35 Tee Aaroni ja tema poegadega kõik nõnda, nagu ma sind olen käskinud; nende pühitsus kestku seitse päeva!

36 Ohverda iga päev patuohvri härjavärss lepituseks ja puhasta patust altar, tuues selle peal lepitust, ja võia seda pühitsuseks!

37 Seitse päeva toimeta altari lepitust ja pühitse seda; siis altar saab väga pühaks: igaüks, kes altarit puudutab, saab pühaks!

38 Ja see on, mida sa pead ohverdama altaril alaliselt, iga päev: kaks aastast talle.

39 Üks tall ohverda hommikul ja teine tall ohverda õhtul,

40 ja kann peent jahu, segatud kolme kortli tambitud õliga, ja joogiohvriks kolm kortlit veini ühe talle kohta!

41 Teine tall ohverda õhtul; valmista see nagu hommikulgi roaohvri ja joogiohvriga healõhnaliseks tuleohvriks Issandale!

42 See olgu alaliseks põletusohvriks Issanda ees teie sugupõlvedele kogudusetelgi ukse ees, seal, kus ma ennast teile ilmutan, et sinuga rääkida!

43 Seal ma ilmutan ennast Iisraeli lastele ja see saab pühaks minu auhiilguse läbi.

44 Mina pühitsen kogudusetelgi ja altari; ja ma pühitsen enesele preestriteks Aaroni ja tema pojad.

45 Ma tahan elada Iisraeli laste keskel ja olla neile Jumalaks.

46 Ja nemad peavad tundma, et mina olen Issand, nende Jumal, kes tõi nad Egiptusemaalt välja, et elada nende keskel. Mina olen Issand, nende Jumal!

10087. 'And you shall take the breast' means the Divine Spiritual in the heavens, which those in heaven make their own. This is clear from the meaning of 'the breast' as the good of charity, and in the highest sense as the Divine Spiritual, dealt with below. The reason why its being made their own by those in the heavens is meant is that the subject in what follows next is the flesh from the ram and the bread from the basket which were not burned on the altar but were left as a portion for and were eaten by Moses, Aaron, and his sons. By this is meant making it their own, the process of which is described in what follows next. The origin of the meaning of 'the breast' as the good of charity, and in the highest sense as the Divine Spiritual, lies in correspondence. For the human head corresponds to the good of love to the Lord, which is the good of the inmost heaven and is called the Divine Celestial, whereas the breast corresponds to the good of charity, which is the good of the middle or second heaven and is called the Divine Spiritual; and the feet correspond to the good of faith, thus to the good of obedience, which is the good of the lowest heaven and is called the Divine Natural. Regarding this correspondence, see what has been shown above in 10030.

[2] Since the breast because of its correspondence means the good of charity, and the good of charity results from the will to do good, John - who represented that good - leaned on the Lord's breast or in His bosom, John 13:23, 25, by which the Lord's love of that good is meant. For 'leaning on the breast' or 'in the bosom' means loving. Anyone who knows this may also know what the meaning is of the following words which the Lord addressed to Peter and to John,

Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon son of Jonah, do you love Me? He said, Yes, Lord, You know that I love You. He said to him, Feed My lambs. He said to him again, Simon son of Jonah, do you love Me? He said, Yes, Lord, You know that I love You. He said to him, Feed My sheep. He said to him a third time, Simon son of Jonah, do you love Me? Peter was grieved, therefore he said, Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You. Jesus said to him, Feed My sheep. Truly I say to you, When you were younger you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands and another will gird you and lead you where you do not wish. When He had said this He said to him, Follow Me. Having turned round Peter saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also had leaned on His breast at the supper. Seeing him Peter said, Lord, what about him? Jesus said to him, If I will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me. John 21:15-22.

None can know what these words mean except through the internal sense. This teaches that the Lord's twelve disciples represented all aspects of faith and love in their entirety, just as the twelves tribes of Israel did, and that Peter represented faith, James charity, and John the works or good deeds that flow from charity.

The Lord's twelve disciples represented all aspects of faith and love in their entirety, see 3488, 3858 (end), 6397.

The twelve tribes of Israel had the same representation, 3858, 3926, 4060, 6335, 6640.

Peter represented faith, James charity, and John the works that flow from charity, Prefaces to Genesis 18, 22, and 3750, 4738, 6344 (end).

'The rock', as Peter is also called, means the Lord in respect of faith, 8581.

[3] Faith without charity does not love the Lord; nevertheless it is able to teach about things connected with faith and love, and the things that are the Lord's. This was why the Lord said three times, 'Do you love Me?', and then, 'Feed My lambs' or 'Feed My sheep'. For the same reason He says, 'When you were younger you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands and another will gird you and lead you where you do not wish', meaning that in its early stages the Church's faith had possessed the good of innocence, like a young child; but when it was in decline, which is the final phase of the Church, faith would not possess that good any longer nor the good of charity, at which point evil and falsity would lead it. All this is what is meant by 'when you are old you will stretch out your hands and another will gird you and lead you where you do not wish', that is, you will pass from freedom into bondage. 'Girding' means being acquainted with and seeing truths in light that flows from good, 9952, and 'walking' leading a life in accord with those truths, 8417, 8420, so that 'girding himself and walking where he wished' means acting in freedom; and people act in freedom when an affection for truth springing from good governs their actions, 2870-2893, 9585-9591, and they are led by the Lord, 9096, 9586, 9589-9591. But 'being girded by another and being led where he did not wish' means being in bondage, and people are in bondage when evil governs their actions, and so they are led by hell, 9096, 9586, 9589-9591. 'Lambs', which the Lord mentions first, are those in whom the good of innocence is present, see 3994; 'sheep', which the Lord mentions the second and third times, are those in whom the good of charity, and faith springing from this, are present, 4169, 4809. Also three means the whole period from beginning to end, 2788, 4495, 7715, 9198; consequently, since the Lord spoke to Peter regarding the Church from its early stages to when it was in decline, He said three times, Do you love Me?

[4] As regards John's following the Lord, this was a sign of the truth that those who perform the good deeds of charity follow the Lord, are loved by the Lord, and do not leave Him, whereas those whose faith is separated from charity not only fail to follow the Lord but are also angered by that truth, as Peter was then; not to mention many more arcana within the words contained in that passage.

From all this it is evident also that leaning on the Lord's breast or in His bosom means being loved by Him, and that this expression is used in reference to those who perform the good deeds of charity. Much the same is meant by carrying in the bosom, Isaiah 40:10-11, and lying in the bosom, 2 Samuel 12:3.
