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!'

10284. And in the quality thereof ye shall not make any like it. That this signifies no imitation from the study of man, is evident from the signification of “making any like it in quality,” that is, making the like oil by means of the like spices, as being to prepare in imitation by the study of man. That these things are signified by these words, follows from the connection of the things in the internal sense; for it is said first, that it should “not be poured upon the flesh of man,” by which is signified that which is not communicative to what is man’s own; and next that it shall be “holy unto you;” whereas that which is made from man, and by his study, is made from what is his own, and is not holy, because study from what is man’s own is nothing but falsity from evil, for it regards itself and the world as the end, and not the neighbor and God; and therefore it is called “imitation.”

[2] The case herein is this. Everything that is from the Lord is good and true. But the good and truth in imitation of this by man is not good and true, for the reason that everything good and true has life in it from its end. An end from man is merely for the sake of himself; whereas that which is good and true from the Lord is for the sake of good itself and truth itself as ends, thus for the sake of the Lord, because everything good and true is from Him. With man the end is himself, for it is his will, and it is his love; because that which a man loves, and that which he wills, this he has as his end. All the love with man from man is the love of self and the love of the world for the sake of self; but the love with man from the Lord is love toward the neighbor and love to God. The difference between these loves is as great as that between hell and heaven; and indeed the love of self, and the love of the world for the sake of self, reign in hell and are hell; whereas love toward the neighbor and love to the Lord reign in heaven and are heaven. Moreover, a man is such, and such remains to eternity, as is his love; for love is everything of man’s will, and from this of his understanding, because the love which makes the will continually flows into the understanding, and kindles it, and enlightens it. From this it is that when those who love what is evil are thinking by themselves, they think what is false in conformity with the evil of their love; although before men they speak differently, from hypocrisy, and some from persuasive faith, the quality of which may be seen above (n. 9364, 9369).

[3] Be it known that before men a man is able by study to imitate Divine things themselves, and to present himself as an angel of light; whereas before the Lord and before the angels the external form does not appear, but the internal; and when this is from what is man’s own, it is filthy. Within such persons there is merely what is natural, and nothing spiritual; they see only from natural light, and not at all from the light of heaven. Nay, they do not know what the light of heaven is, and what the spiritual is, for all their interiors are turned outward, almost like the interiors of animals, nor do they suffer themselves to be raised upward by the Lord; when yet man possesses this special privilege above the beasts, that he is capable of being raised by the Lord to heaven and to the Lord, and thus of being led. All those are so raised who love good and truth for the sake of good and truth, which is the same as loving the neighbor and God; for in a general sense the neighbor is what is good and true, and in a lower sense what is just and right; and moreover God is what is good and true, and what is just and right, because these are from God.

[4] From all this it can be seen what it is to imitate Divine things by the study of man; the quality of those who do this is described in the Word throughout by “Egypt” and “Pharaoh,” for by “Egypt” and “Pharaoh” are signified the memory-knowledges that belong to the natural man; and it is also described by “Asshur,” by whom is signified reasoning from memory-knowledges (concerning “Egypt” see the places cited in n. 9340, 9391; and concerning “Asshur,” n. 1186).

[5] Among spirits there are great numbers who imitate Divine things by study and art; for they counterfeit what is sincere, upright, and pious, insomuch that good spirits would be led astray unless the Lord enlightened them, and made them see the interiors of those who would lead them astray, at the sight of which the good are seized with horror, and flee away. But such spirits are stripped of their externals, and are let into their interiors which are diabolical, and thus of themselves they sink down into hell. (More may be seen concerning these spirits in a following article, n. 10286)
