Exodus 30

Studie

   

1 Tee suitsutusaltar suitsutusohvri toomiseks; tee see akaatsiapuust!

2 See olgu küünar pikk ja küünar lai, neljanurgeline ja kaks küünart kõrge; selle sarved olgu sellega ühest tükist!

3 Karda see puhta kullaga, selle pealis, küljed ümberringi ja sarved; ja tee sellele kuldäär ümber!

4 Tee kaks kuldrõngast selle ääre alla kahele poole; tee need kumbagi külge; need olgu asemeiks kangidele, millega seda kantakse!

5 Tee kangid akaatsiapuust ja karda need kullaga!

6 Pane see tunnistuslaeka ees oleva eesriide ette, kohastikku tunnistuslaeka peal oleva lepituskaanega, kus ma ennast sulle ilmutan!

7 Ja Aaron põletagu selle peal healõhnalist suitsutusrohtu; ta põletagu seda igal hommikul, kui ta lampe korraldab!

8 Ja kui Aaron õhtul lampe üles seab, siis ta põletagu nõndasamuti; see olgu teie tulevastele põlvedele alaline suitsutusohver Issanda palge ees!

9 Ärge ohverdage selle peal võõrast suitsutusrohtu ega põletus- või roaohvrit; selle peale ärge valage ka joogiohvrit!

10 Ja kord aastas toimetagu Aaron selle sarvede peal lepitust: põlvest põlve toimetagu ta kord aastas selle lepitust patu-lepitusohvri verega! See on väga püha Issandale.'

11 Ja Issand rääkis Moosesega, öeldes:

12 'Kui sa arvestad Iisraeli laste päid, neid, kes ära loetakse, siis andku iga mees oma hinge eest lunaraha Issandale, et neid ei tabaks nuhtlus, kui nad ära loetakse!

13 Igaüks, kes astub äraloetavate hulka, andku pool seeklit püha seekli järgi, kakskümmend geera seeklis; tõstelõiv Issandale on pool seeklit.

14 Igaüks, kes astub äraloetavate hulka, kakskümmend aastat vana ja üle selle, peab andma Issandale tõstelõivu!

15 Rikas ärgu andku rohkem ja kehv ärgu andku vähem kui pool seeklit, kui te annate Issandale tõstelõivu lepituseks oma hingede eest!

16 Võta Iisraeli lastelt lepitusraha ja kasuta seda kogudusetelgi teenistuseks; see meenutagu Issanda ees Iisraeli lapsi, et saaksite lepitust oma hingedele!'

17 Ja Issand rääkis Moosesega, öeldes:

18 'Tee pesemise jaoks vasknõu ja selle vaskjalg; pane see kogudusetelgi ja altari vahele ja vala sellesse vett!

19 Aaron ja tema pojad pesku selles oma käsi ja jalgu!

20 Kui nad lähevad kogudusetelki, siis nad peavad endid veega pesema, et nad ei sureks; nõndasamuti, kui nad astuvad teenistuseks altari juurde, et süüdata tuleohvrit Issandale.

21 Nad peavad pesema oma käsi ja jalgu, et nad ei sureks. See olgu neile igaveseks seadluseks, temale ja ta soole põlvest põlve!'

22 Ja Issand rääkis Moosesega, öeldes:

23 'Ja sina võta enesele parimaid palsameid: viissada seeklit sula mürri, ja pool osa sellest, kakssada viiskümmend seeklit, healõhnalist kaneeli, ja kakssada viiskümmend seeklit lõhnavat kalmust,

24 ja viissada seeklit kassiat püha seekli järgi, ja kolm toopi oliiviõli,

25 ja valmista sellest püha võideõli, rohusegajate viisil segatud salvi; see olgu pühaks võideõliks!

26 Võia sellega kogudusetelki ja tunnistuslaegast,

27 lauda ja kõiki selle riistu, lambijalga ja selle riistu, suitsutusaltarit,

28 põletusohvri altarit ja kõiki selle riistu, pesemisnõu ja selle jalga!

29 Ja pühitse neid, et need oleksid väga pühad: igaüks, kes neid puudutab, saab pühaks.

30 Ja võia Aaronit ja tema poegi ja pühitse nad mulle preestriteks!

31 Ja räägi Iisraeli lastega ning ütle: See olgu teile põlvest põlve minu püha võideõli!

32 Tavalise inimese ihu peale ei tohi seda valada ja niisugust segu ei tohi te järele teha: see on püha ja see olgu püha ka teile!

33 Igaüks, kes valmistab niisugust võiet ja annab seda mõnele võõrale, kaotatagu oma rahva seast!'

34 Ja Issand ütles Moosesele: 'Võta enesele healõhnalisi aineid: lõhnavat vaiku, teokarpe ja galbanit - healõhnalisi aineid ja puhast viirukit võrdsetes osades -

35 ja valmista neist rohusegajate viisil suitsutusrohi: soolane, puhas, püha!

36 Osa sellest hõõru peeneks ja pane tunnistuslaeka ette kogudusetelgis, sinna, kus ma ennast sulle ilmutan; see olgu teile kõige püham!

37 Suitsutusrohtu, mida sa teed selle segu kohaselt, ei tohi te endile teha: Issandale kuuluvana olgu see sulle püha!

38 Igaüks, kes teeb midagi niisugust, et seda mõnuga nautida, kaotatagu oma rahva seast!'

1152. And wine and oil.- That these signify worship from truths and goods that are from a celestial origin, profaned, is evident from the signification of wine, which denotes truth, of which we shall speak presently; and from the signification of oil, which denotes good from a celestial origin (concerning which see above, n. 375). Wine signifies truth from a celestial origin, because it is here connected with oil, which denotes good from that origin. For there are in this, as in the former verse, pairs, one of which signifies what belongs to truth, and the other what belongs to good, both from the same source; it therefore follows, that wine signifies truth from a celestial origin, because oil signifies good from that source - that wine in the Word signifies truth or spiritual good may be seen above (n. 376) - for truth from a celestial origin coincides with spiritual good. It is similar in regard to oil, which, when the anointing oil of holiness is meant, signifies the good of celestial love, but when the oil with which they anointed themselves at festivals is meant, it signifies the good of spiritual love.

[2] Continuation concerning the Athanasian Creed.- It was said above, that it is a law of the Divine Providence, that man himself should compel himself, which means that he should compel himself from evil, but not to good; he is permitted to compel himself from evil, but it is not granted to compel himself to good which in itself is good. For if he compels himself to good, and has not compelled himself from evil, he does not do good from the Lord, but from himself, for he compels himself to it for the sake of himself, or of the world, or recompense, or from fear, this good in itself is not good, because the man himself, the world, or recompense, is in it as its end, but not good itself, thus neither the Lord; it is moreover not fear but love that causes good to be good. As for example; were a man to compel himself to do good to his neighbour, to give to the poor, to endow churches, to do justice, consequently, to perform deeds of charity and truth, before he had compelled himself to abstain from evils, and had by that means removed them, it would be like a palliative mode of treatment, by which a disease or ulcer is healed externally, or it would be like an adulterer compelling himself to chastity, a proud man to humility, and a dishonest man to sincerity, by mere external acts.

[3] But when a man compels himself to abstain from evils, he then purifies his internal, and when this is done he does good from freedom, without compelling himself to do it; for so far as a man compels himself to abstain from evil, so far he comes into celestial freedom, and from this freedom is every thing good which is good in itself; he does not therefore compel himself to it. It appears indeed as if there were a close connection between compelling oneself to abstain from evil and compelling oneself to good, but there is no such connection.

From the evidence of experience I know that many have compelled themselves to do good, but not to abstain from evils; but when they were explored, it was discovered that evils from within were inherent in the good which they did; their good therefore was compared with idols and with images made either of clay or dung. And I was told, that such persons believe that God is gained over by glorification and the offerings, even though they proceed from an impure heart. Nevertheless, before the eyes of the world, a man may compel himself to good, although he does not compel himself to abstain from evils, since in the world he is rewarded on that account; for in the world that which is external is regarded, seldom that which is internal; but in the presence of God it is otherwise.
