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!

1071. And he drank of the wine. That this signifies that he desired to investigate the things which are of faith, is evident from the signification of “wine.” The “vineyard” or the “vine” as has been shown, is the spiritual church, or the man of the spiritual church; the “grape” “bunches” and “clusters” are its fruit, and signify charity and what is of charity. But “wine” signifies the faith thence derived, and all things that belong to it. Thus the “grape” is the celestial of that church, and the “wine” is the spiritual of that church. The former, or the celestial, is of the will, as has been said before; the latter, or the spiritual, is of the understanding. That his “drinking of the wine” signifies that he desired to investigate the things of faith, and this by reasonings, is evident from his becoming drunken, that is, fallen into errors. For the man of this church had no perception, as had the man of the Most Ancient Church, but had to learn what was good and true from the doctrinal things of faith collected and preserved from the perception of the Most Ancient Church, which doctrinal things were the Word of the Ancient Church. Like the Word, the doctrinal things of faith were in many cases such as without perception could not be believed; for spiritual and celestial things infinitely transcend human apprehension, and hence arises reasoning. But he who will not believe them until he apprehends them, can never believe, as has been often shown before. (See n. 128-130, 195, 196, 215, 232, 233.)

[2] That “grapes” in the Word signify charity and what is of charity, and that “wine” signifies the faith thence derived and the things that belong to it, is evident from the following passages.

In Isaiah:

My beloved had a vineyard in a horn of the son of oil, and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes (Isaiah 5:1-2, 4), where “grapes” denote charity and its fruits.

In Jeremiah:

Gathering I will gather them, saith Jehovah; there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree (Jeremiah 8:13), where the “vine” denotes the spiritual church; “grapes” charity.

In Hosea:

I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first-ripe in the fig-tree, at the beginning (Hosea 9:10).

“Israel” denotes the Ancient Church; “grapes” its being endued with charity. The sense is opposite when “Israel” denotes the sons of Jacob.

In Micah:

There is no cluster to eat; my soul desireth the first-ripe fig. The holy man is perished out of the earth, and there is none upright among men (Micah 7:1).

“Cluster” denotes charity, or what is holy; “first-ripe fig” faith, or what is right.

[3] In Isaiah:

Thus saith Jehovah, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it (Isaiah 65:8); where “cluster” denotes charity, and “new wine” the goods of charity and the truths thence derived.

In Moses:

He washed His garment in wine, and His vesture in the blood of grapes (Genesis 49:11); a prophecy relating to the Lord. “Wine” denotes the spiritual from the celestial, the “blood of grapes” the celestial relatively to spiritual churches. Thus “grapes” denote charity itself, “wine” faith itself.

In John:

The angel said, Put forth thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe (Revelation 14:18).

Here the subject is the last times when there is no faith, that is, when there is no charity; for faith is no other than of charity, and essentially is charity itself; so that when it is said that there is no longer any faith, as in the last times, it is meant that there is no charity.

[4] As “grapes” signify charity, so “wine” signifies the faith thence derived, for wine is from grapes. This will be evident from the passages already cited about the vineyard and the vine, and also from the following.

In Isaiah:

Gladness is taken away, and exultation, from Carmel; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither joyful noise; no treader shall tread out wine in the presses; I have made the vintage shout to cease (Isaiah 16:10),

meaning that the spiritual church, which is “Carmel” is vastated; “not treading out wine in the presses” means that there are no longer any who are in faith. Again:

The inhabitants of the earth are burned, and man shall be left feeble; the new wine shall mourn, the vine shall languish; they shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it; there is a crying in the streets because of the wine (Isaiah 24:6-7, 9, 11).The subject here is the vastated church, and “wine” denotes the truths of faith, there held to be of no value.

In Jeremiah:

They will say to their mothers, where is the corn and the wine? when they faint as one wounded in the streets of the city (Lamentations 2:12).

“Where is the corn and the wine” signifies where is love and faith; the “streets of the city” signify here, as elsewhere in the Word, truths; “being wounded in them” signifies not to know what the truths of faith are.

[5] In Amos:

I will bring again the captivity of My people Israel, and they shall build the waste cities and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof (Amos 9:14).

This is said of the spiritual church, or “Israel” of which planting vineyards and drinking the wine thereof is predicated, when it becomes such as to have faith from charity.

In Zephaniah:

They shall build houses, but shall not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but shall not drink the wine thereof (Zephaniah 1:13; Amos 5:11).

Here is described the opposite condition, when the spiritual church is vastated.

In Zechariah:

They shall be as the mighty Ephraim, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine; yea, their sons shall see it and be glad (Zechariah 10:7); said of the house of Judah, that it should be such from the goods and truths of faith.

In John:

That they were not to hurt the oil and the wine (Revelation 6:6), meant that no injury is to be done to the celestial and the spiritual, or to what is of love and faith.

[6] As “wine” signified faith in the Lord, in the Jewish Church faith was represented in the sacrifices by a libation of wine (Numbers 15:2-15; 28:11-15, 18-31; 29:7-39; Leviticus 23:12-13; Exodus 29:40). Wherefore it is said in Hosea: The threshing-floor and the wine-press shall not feed them, and the new wine shall deceive therein; they shall not dwell in the land of Jehovah; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat what is unclean in Assyria; they shall not pour out wine to Jehovah, neither shall [their libations] be pleasing to Him (Hosea 9:2-4).

Here the subject is Israel, or the spiritual church, and those in it who pervert and defile the holy and true things of faith by desiring to investigate them by means of knowledges and reasonings. “Egypt” is memory-knowledge, “Assyria” reasoning, “Ephraim” one who reasons.
