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!'

10194. 'And overlay them with gold' means the founding of all things on good. This is clear from the meaning of 'overlaying with gold' as founding on good, dealt with in 9490. What being founded on good is must be stated briefly. Some people think that truth is what all things are founded on, but they are very much mistaken; for no truth exists with a person unless he has good within him. Truth existing with a person which is devoid of good is something external without an internal, thus like a shell without a nut; it resides solely in the memory. Such truth may be likened to a painting of a flower, a tree, or a living creature; below the surface it is simply mud. But truth springing from good does not merely reside in the memory, it is also deeply implanted in the person's life, and may be likened to the actual flower, tree, or living creature, whose perfection increases the more inwardly it is examined. For with anything created by the Divine the more internal it is, the more perfect it becomes. This is made abundantly clear by representatives in the next life. The representatives there are visual images that accord with the states of spirits' interiors, for these images are correspondences. Around spirits in possession of truths rooted in good extremely beautiful images are seen, that is to say, houses and palaces flashing with gold and precious stones, and also gardens and parks indescribably beautiful. All these sights are due to correspondence. But around those in possession of truths not rooted in good nothing other than rocky places, cliffs, and ponds are seen; or sometimes places with trees are seen, but they are unattractive and barren. These sights too are due to correspondence. Around those however who are steeped in falsities arising from evil, swamps, latrines, and many other horrible sights appear. The reason why these things should be so is that all representatives in that world are outward figures shaped in accord with the states of inner things; for it is in this way that the spiritual world makes itself visible. All this goes to show what being founded on good is.

Exodus 30

Studie

   

1 "You shall make an altar to burn incense on. You shall make it of acacia wood.

2 Its length shall be a cubit, and its breadth a cubit. It shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits. Its horns shall be of one piece with it.

3 You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top, its sides around it, and its horns; and you shall make a gold molding around it.

4 You shall make two golden rings for it under its molding; on its two ribs, on its two sides you shall make them; and they shall be for places for poles with which to bear it.

5 You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.

6 You shall put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with you.

7 Aaron shall burn incense of sweet spices on it every morning. When he tends the lamps, he shall burn it.

8 When Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before Yahweh throughout your generations.

9 You shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt offering, nor meal offering; and you shall pour no drink offering on it.

10 Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once in the year; with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once in the year he shall make atonement for it throughout your generations. It is most holy to Yahweh."

11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

12 "When you take a census of the children of Israel, according to those who are numbered among them, then each man shall give a ransom for his soul to Yahweh, when you number them; that there be no plague among them when you number them.

13 They shall give this, everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary; (the shekel is twenty gerahs;) half a shekel for an offering to Yahweh.

14 Everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering to Yahweh.

15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls.

16 You shall take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the Tent of Meeting; that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls."

17 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

18 "You shall also make a basin of brass, and its base of brass, in which to wash. You shall put it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it.

19 Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in it.

20 When they go into the Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with water, that they not die; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die: and it shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his descendants throughout their generations."

22 Moreover Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

23 "Also take fine spices: of liquid myrrh, five hundred shekels; and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, even two hundred and fifty; and of fragrant cane, two hundred and fifty;

24 and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary; and a hin of olive oil.

25 You shall make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.

26 You shall use it to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the testimony,

27 the table and all its articles, the lampstand and its accessories, the altar of incense,

28 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its base.

29 You shall sanctify them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.

30 You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.

31 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'This shall be a holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations.

32 It shall not be poured on man's flesh, neither shall you make any like it, according to its composition: it is holy. It shall be holy to you.

33 Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.'"

34 Yahweh said to Moses, "Take to yourself sweet spices, gum resin, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be an equal weight;

35 and you shall make incense of it, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy:

36 and you shall beat some of it very small, and put some of it before the testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be to you most holy.

37 The incense which you shall make, according to its composition you shall not make for yourselves: it shall be to you holy for Yahweh.

38 Whoever shall make any like that, to smell of it, he shall be cut off from his people."
