Leviticus 16

Studie

   

1 Ja Issand rääkis Moosesega pärast Aaroni kahe poja surma, kui need Issanda ette astudes olid surnud.

2 Ja Issand ütles Moosesele: 'Ütle oma vennale Aaronile, et ta mitte igal ajal ei läheks pühamusse sissepoole eesriiet, laeka peal oleva lepituskaane ette, et ta ei sureks, kuna ma ilmutan ennast lepituskaane kohal pilve sees.

3 Ainult sel viisil võib Aaron minna pühamusse: üks noor härjavärss patuohvriks ja jäär põletusohvriks;

4 ta pangu selga püha linane särk, jalga linased püksid ihu katteks, vöötagu ennast linase vööga ja mähkigu ümber pea linane peakate: need on pühad riided; ta loputagu oma ihu veega ja pangu need selga!

5 Ja ta võtku Iisraeli laste koguduselt kaks sikku patuohvriks ja üks jäär põletusohvriks!

6 Ja Aaron toogu esile oma patuohvri härjavärss ning toimetagu lepitust enese ja oma pere eest!

7 Siis ta võtku need kaks sikku ja pangu need seisma Issanda ette kogudusetelgi ukse juurde!

8 Ja Aaron heitku liisku nende kahe siku vahel: üks liisk Issandale ja teine liisk Asaselile!

9 Siis Aaron toogu esile see sikk, kelle liisk määras Issandale, ja valmistagu see patuohvriks!

10 Aga sikk, kelle liisk määras Asaselile, pandagu elusana Issanda ette, et tema peal lepitust toimetada, saates ta kõrbesse Asaselile!

11 Seejärel Aaron toogu esile oma patuohvri härjavärss ning toimetagu lepitust enese ja oma pere eest ja tapku oma patuohvri härjavärss!

12 Ja ta võtku sütepannitäis tuliseid süsi altari pealt Issanda eest ja mõlemad pihud täis peent, healõhnalist suitsutusrohtu ja viigu sissepoole eesriiet!

13 Ja ta pangu suitsutusrohi tule peale Issanda ees, nõnda et suitsutuspilv kataks lepituskaane, mis on seaduselaeka peal, et ta ei sureks!

14 Ja ta võtku härjavärsi verd ja piserdagu sõrmega lepituskaane esikülje peale; ja lepituskaane ette ta piserdagu sõrmega verd seitse korda!

15 Siis ta tapku rahva patuohvri sikk ja viigu selle veri sissepoole eesriiet ning talitagu selle verega, nõnda nagu ta talitas härjavärsi verega: ta piserdagu seda lepituskaane peale ja lepituskaane ette!

16 Ja ta toimetagu lepitust pühamu eest Iisraeli laste roojuste pärast ja nende üleastumiste pärast kõigi nende pattude kohaselt; nõnda ta tehku ka kogudusetelgiga, mis asetseb nende juures keset nende roojusi!

17 Ühtegi inimest ärgu olgu kogudusetelgis, kui ta läheb pühamusse lepitust toimetama, kuni ta on välja tulnud ja on lepitust toimetanud enese ja oma pere ja kogu Iisraeli koguduse eest.

18 Siis ta mingu välja altari juurde, mis on Issanda ees, ja toimetagu lepitust selle eest; ta võtku härjavärsi verd ja siku verd ja määrigu seda altari sarvedele ümberringi!

19 Ja ta piserdagu sõrmega verd selle peale seitse korda ja puhastagu ning pühitsegu seda Iisraeli laste roojuste pärast!

20 Ja kui ta on lõpetanud pühamu ja kogudusetelgi ja altari lepitamise, siis ta toogu esile elus sikk

21 ja Aaron pangu oma mõlemad käed elusa siku pea peale ja tunnistagu tema peal üles kõik Iisraeli laste süüteod ja kõik nende üleastumised kõigis nende pattudes ja pangu need siku pea peale ning saatku see ühe kõlvulise mehe käe kõrval kõrbesse:

22 sikk kannab enesega kõik nende patud tühjale maale; sikk lastagu kõrbes lahti!

23 Ja Aaron mingu kogudusetelki ja võtku seljast linased riided, mis ta pühamusse minnes selga pani, ja jätku need sinna!

24 Ta loputagu oma ihu veega pühas paigas ja pangu selga oma riided; siis ta mingu välja ja ohverdagu oma põletusohver ja rahva põletusohver ning toimetagu lepitust enese ja rahva eest!

25 Ja ta süüdaku patuohvri rasv altaril põlema!

26 Ja see, kes laskis siku lahti Asaselile, pesku oma riided ja loputagu oma ihu veega, alles pärast seda tulgu ta leeri!

27 Ja patuohvri härjavärss ja patuohvri sikk, kelle veri viidi lepituse toimetamiseks pühamusse, viidagu väljapoole leeri ja nende nahad, liha ja sisikond põletatagu tulega!

28 Ja see, kes neid põletas, pesku oma riided ja loputagu oma ihu veega, alles pärast seda tulgu ta leeri!

29 See olgu teile igaveseks kohustuseks: seitsmenda kuu kümnendal päeval peate alandama oma hinged; ja te ei tohi teha mitte mingisugust tööd, ei päriselanik ega võõras, kes teie keskel elab,

30 sest sel päeval toimetatakse lepitust teie eest, et teid puhastada; te peate saama puhtaks kõigist oma pattudest Issanda ees!

31 See olgu teile täielikuks hingamispäevaks; siis alandage oma hinged, see olgu igaveseks kohustuseks!

32 Ja lepitust toimetagu see preester, kes on võitud ja kelle käsi on täidetud, et ta oleks preester oma isa asemel; ta pangu selga linased riided, pühad riided,

33 ja toimetagu lepitust kõige pühama paiga, kogudusetelgi ja altari eest; ja ta toimetagu lepitust preestrite ja kogu koguduse rahva eest!

34 See olgu teile igaveseks kohustuseks: üks kord aastas tuleb Iisraeli laste eest lepitust toimetada kõigi nende pattude pärast!' Ja Aaron tegi nõnda, nagu Issand oli Moosesele käsu andnud.

4738. 'So that he might therefore rescue him out of their hands, to return him to his father' means so that it might lay claim to it for the Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'rescuing out of their hands' as delivering, as above in 4732, and from the meaning of 'returning to his father' as laying claim to it for the Church; for Jacob, to whom 'father' refers here, represents the Jewish religion which sprang from the Ancient Church, as above in 4700, 4701. What was laid claim to for the Church was the Divine Truth concerning the Lord's Divine Human, for, as stated already, 'Joseph' means that truth specifically.

[2] To know more regarding this truth, it should be recognized that the Ancient Church acknowledged it, as also did the Primitive Christian Church. But there came a time when the papacy so extended its authority that it had control over every human soul; it exalted itself in the way the king of Babel is said to have done, in Isaiah,

You said in your heart. I will go up into the heavens, above the stars of God 1 I will raise my throne, and I will sit on the mount of assembly, I will go up above the heights of the clouds, and I will make myself like the Most High. Isaiah 14:13-14.

Then - at that time - Divinity was taken away from the Lord's Human, that is, His Divine was made distinct and separate from His Human.

[3] The way in which this distinction was decreed in a certain council 2 has also been revealed to me. I saw some people appear on the right in front of me, some distance away on a level with the sole of my foot. They were talking among themselves, but I did not hear what about. I was told that they were some of those who had come together in the council when the decree was made regarding the Lord's two Natures - His Divine one and His Human one. Shortly after that I was allowed to talk to them. They said that those who had the greatest influence in the council and who held higher positions and had higher authority than the rest met together. They did so in a room that was dark, where they decided that both Divinity and Humanity should be attributed to the Lord, the main reason for their decision being that otherwise the papacy could not have remained in being. For if they had acknowledged that the Lord was one with the Father, as He Himself says, no one could then have been acknowledged as His vicar on earth. Schisms were developing at that time, which would have toppled and destroyed the power of the papacy, had they not made that distinction. To strengthen it they also assembled proof texts from the Word and swayed the rest of the council.

[4] Those who spoke to me added that by doing this they were able to have control in heaven and on earth. They knew from the Word that all power in heaven and on earth had been given to the Lord, and this power could not have been granted to any vicar [of Christ] if the Human too were acknowledged to be Divine. For they knew that no one was allowed to make himself equal to God and that that power existed essentially in the Divine, not in the Human unless it was granted to it as it was also subsequently granted to Peter. They said that by doing what they did they were then able to keep the schismatics quiet who were most astute, and were also able to strengthen the power of the papacy. From this it is clear that they invented the distinction they made purely for the sake of having control, and that therefore they had no wish to know that the gift of power to the Lord's Human in heaven and on earth demonstrates that His Human too is Divine. It is also clear that 'Peter', to whom the Lord gave the keys of heaven, does not mean the man Peter but faith rooted in charity, which is received from the Lord alone and is therefore a power that belongs to the Lord alone - see Preface to Genesis 22.
