Leviticus 15

Studie

   

1 Ja Issand rääkis Moosese ja Aaroniga, öeldes:

2 'Rääkige Iisraeli lastega ja öelge neile: Iga mees, kellel on ihust voolus, on selle vooluse tõttu roojane.

3 Ja tema roojasus vooluse pärast on niisugune: ta ihu kas eritab voolust või on ta ihu voolusest ummuksis - selles on tema roojasus.

4 Iga ase, millel magab see, kellel on voolus, saab roojaseks, ja iga ese, millel ta istub, saab ka roojaseks.

5 Igaüks, kes puudutab tema aset, peab pesema oma riided ja loputama ennast veega ning olema õhtuni roojane.

6 Ja kes istub esemel, millel on istunud see, kellel on voolus, peab pesema oma riided ja loputama ennast veega ning olema õhtuni roojane.

7 Ja kes puudutab selle ihu, kellel on voolus, see peab pesema oma riided ja loputama ennast veega ning olema õhtuni roojane.

8 Ja kui see, kellel on voolus, sülitab selle peale, kes on puhas, siis peab viimane pesema oma riided ja loputama ennast veega ning olema õhtuni roojane.

9 Ja iga sadul, millega sõidab see, kellel on voolus, saab roojaseks.

10 Ja igaüks, kes puudutab midagi, mis on olnud tema all, on õhtuni roojane, ja kes kannab neid asju, peab pesema oma riided ja loputama ennast veega ning olema õhtuni roojane.

11 Ja igaüks, keda puudutab see, kellel on voolus, ilma et oleks oma käsi veega loputanud, peab pesema oma riided ja loputama ennast veega ning olema õhtuni roojane.

12 Ja saviastja, mida puudutab see, kellel on voolus, tuleb puruks lüüa; aga kõiki puuriistu tuleb veega loputada.

13 Ja kui see, kellel on voolus, saab puhtaks oma voolusest, siis ta lugegu enesele puhastamiseks seitse päeva, pesku oma riided ja loputagu ihu voolava veega, siis ta on puhas!

14 Kaheksandal päeval võtku ta enesele kaks turteltuvi või kaks muud tuvi ja tulgu Issanda ette kogudusetelgi ukse juurde ning andku need preestrile!

15 Ja preester ohverdagu need: üks patuohvriks ja teine põletusohvriks, ja preester toimetagu tema eest lepitust Issanda ees ta vooluse pärast!

16 Ja kui mõnel mehel on olnud seemnevoolus, siis ta loputagu kogu oma ihu veega; ta on õhtuni roojane!

17 Kõik riided ja kõik nahad, mille peal seemnevoolus on aset leidnud, pestagu veega ja need olgu õhtuni roojased!

18 Ja kui mees magab oma seemnega naise juures, siis nad loputagu endid veega ja nad on õhtuni roojased!

19 Ja kui naisel on voolus, ta ihust voolab verd, siis ta ei ole puhas seitse päeva ja igaüks, kes teda puudutab, on õhtuni roojane.

20 Ja kõik, mille peal ta magab oma ebapuhtuse ajal, on roojane, samuti on roojane kõik, mille peal ta istub.

21 Ja igaüks, kes puudutab tema aset, peab pesema oma riided ja loputama ennast veega ning olema õhtuni roojane.

22 Ja igaüks, kes puudutab mõnda eset, millel naine on istunud, peab pesema oma riided ja loputama ennast veega ning olema õhtuni roojane!

23 Ja kui midagi on aseme peal või eseme peal, millel ta on istunud, ja keegi puudutab seda, siis ta on õhtuni roojane.

24 Ja kui mees ometi magab tema juures ja ta kuuverd jääb mehe külge, siis on viimane seitse päeva roojane ja iga ase, millel ta magab, on ka roojane.

25 Ja kui mõne naise verevoolus kestab pikemat aega, ilma et see oleks kuuveri, või kui see kestab üle ta kuuvere päevade, siis ta on roojane oma ebapuhta vooluse kestusel nagu kuuvere ajalgi.

26 Iga ase, millel ta magab kogu oma vooluse aja, on samasugune nagu ta ase kuuvere ajal, ja kõik esemed, millel ta istub, saavad roojaseks, nagu ta kuuvere roojasuse ajal.

27 Igaüks, kes neid puudutab, saab roojaseks; ta pesku oma riided ja loputagu ennast veega; ta on õhtuni roojane!

28 Aga kui naine saab puhtaks oma voolusest, siis ta lugegu seitse päeva ja pärast seda on ta puhas!

29 Ja kaheksandal päeval võtku ta enesele kaks turteltuvi või kaks muud tuvi ja viigu need preestrile kogudusetelgi ukse juurde!

30 Ja preester ohverdagu üks neist patuohvriks ja teine põletusohvriks ning preester toimetagu tema eest lepitust Issanda ees ta ebapuhta vooluse pärast!

31 Nõnda te peate Iisraeli lapsed hoidma eemal ebapuhtusest, et nad ei sureks oma roojasusest, roojastades minu eluaset, mis on teie keskel!

32 See on seadus selle kohta, kellel on mingi voolus ja kellel seeme voolab, tehes teda roojaseks,

33 ja selle kohta, kellel on kuuverejooks ja kellel on muu voolus, olgu meeste- või naisterahvas, ja mehe kohta, kes magab naise juures, kui see ei ole puhas.'

9506. And thou shalt make a propitiatory [mercy seat] of pure gold. That this signifies the hearing and reception of all things that belong to worship from the good of love is evident from the signification of “a propitiatory [mercy seat]” as being a cleansing from evils, or the forgiveness of sins, consequently the hearing and reception of all things that belong to worship (of which in what follows); and from the signification of “gold” as being the good of love (see n. 113, 1551-1552, 5658, 6917). That “the propitiatory [mercy seat]” denotes a cleansing from evils and the forgiveness of sins is evident from the passages in the Word where “propitiation” or “expiation” is mentioned.

[2] That it also denotes the reception of all things of worship is because those only are heard who have been propitiated or expiated, that is, cleansed from evils; and their worship alone is received by the Lord; but those are not heard who are in evils, that is, who have not been expiated or propitiated. On this account also Aaron was not allowed to approach the propitiatory [mercy seat] until he had cleansed and expiated himself and the people. That for this reason “the propitiatory [mercy seat]” denotes the hearing and reception of all things of worship is also evident from the fact that Jehovah spoke with Moses over the propitiatory [mercy seat] between the two cherubs. That it is worship from the good of love that is received is because no one is admitted into heaven, thus to the Lord, except one who is in good, namely, in the good of love to the Lord and in the good of charity toward the neighbor (see n. 8516, 8539, 8722, 8772, 9139, 9227, 9230, 9274); consequently no one else is heard, and his worship received. For this reason also cherubs were over the propitiatory [mercy seat]; for by “the cherubs” is signified guard and providence lest the Lord be approached except through the good of love, thus lest any enter into heaven except those who are in good, and also lest those who are in heaven be approached and injured by those who are in hell. From all this it can be seen what was signified by the propitiatory [mercy seat] being upon the ark, and by the cherubs being over the propitiatory [mercy seat]; and further by the propitiatory [mercy seat] and the cherubs being of pure gold; for “gold” signifies the good of love, and “the ark” signifies heaven where the Lord is.

[3] That “the propitiatory [mercy seat]” signifies cleansing from evils, thus the forgiveness of sins, is evident from the passages in the Word where “propitiation” or “expiation” is mentioned; as in David:

O Jehovah, expiate our sins for Thy name’s sake (Psalms 79:9).

He, being merciful, expiated their iniquity (Psalms 78:38).

Thou shalt expiate me with hyssop, and I shall be made clean; Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow (Psalms 51:7).

Evil shall come upon thee, which thou shalt not know how to avert by prayer; calamity shall fall upon thee, which thou shall not be able to expiate (Isaiah 47:11).

Sing, ye nations, His people; who will avenge the blood of His servants, and will make expiation for His land, for His people (Deuteronomy 32:43).

[4] Expiations were made by means of sacrifices, and after they had been made, we read, “The priest shall expiate him from sin, and he shall be forgiven” (Leviticus 4:26, 31, 35; 5:6, 10, 13, 16, 18; 9:7; 15:15, 30). Expiation was also made by means of silver (Exodus 30:16; Psalms 49:8). Therefore there was a day of expiations before the feast of tabernacles (Leviticus 23:27-32). But be it known that these expiations were not real cleansings from evils, nor forgivenesses of sins, but represented them; for every ritual with the Israelitish and Jewish nation was merely representative of the Lord, of His kingdom and church, and of such things as belong to heaven and the church. (In what manner the representations presented such things before the angels in heaven, see in n. 9229.)

[5] As cleansing from evils and forgiveness of sins were signified by “the propitiatory [mercy seat],” there were also signified by it the hearing and reception of all things that belong to worship; for he who has been cleansed from evils is heard, and his worship is received. This was represented by Jehovah speaking above the propitiatory [mercy seat] with Moses, and commanding what the sons of Israel should do, as is evident from verse 22 of the present chapter, where it is said, “There I will meet with thee, and I will speak with thee from above the propitiatory [mercy seat], from between the two cherubs that are over the ark of the testimony, all that I shall command thee for the sons of Israel.” In like manner in another place: “When Moses spoke with Jehovah, he heard the voice speaking from above the propitiatory [mercy seat] that was upon the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubs” (Numbers 7:89). That a man would be heard and his worship received after he had been cleansed from evils, was represented by Aaron’s not entering into the holy of holies within the veil before the propitiatory [mercy seat] until he had first expiated himself and the people, which was effected by means of washing, sacrifices, incense, and blood; and it is said, “So shall he expiate the holy place from the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel, and from their transgressions as to all their sins” (Leviticus 16:16); “and that Jehovah would appear there in a cloud” (verse 2). “In a cloud” denotes in Divine truth accommodated to the reception and apprehension of men, such as is the Word in the sense of the letter (n. 4060, 4391, 5922, 6343, 6752, 8106, 8443, 8781).
