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.

9938. 'Which the children of Israel shall sanctify, even in all their gifts of holy things' means acts of worship representative of removal from sins. This is clear from the meaning of 'gifts' - or presents, which among the Israelite and Jewish nation were primarily burnt offerings, sacrifices, and minchahs - as the inner realities of acts of worship; for those realities were represented by these acts. The inner realities of worship are the fruits of love and faith; they are therefore pardonings of sins, that is, removals from them, since faith and love are the means by which the Lord moves sins away. For in the measure that the good of love and faith comes in, or what amounts to the same thing, heaven comes in, sins are removed, that is, hell is removed - the hell within the person as well as the hell outside him. From this it is evident what should be understood by the gifts which they made holy, that is, offered. The gifts were called holy, and giving or offering them was called sanctifying them, because they represented holy realities. For they were offered to expiate people, thus to remove them from their sins, which is accomplished by means of faith in and love to the Lord received from the Lord.

[2] Gifts and presents were said to be made to Jehovah, though Jehovah, that is, the Lord, is not the receiver of gifts or presents, but the giver of them, freely to everyone. Even so, His will is that they should come from a person as though they did so from that person himself, provided the person acknowledges that they do not actually come from him but from the Lord. For the Lord imparts a desire to do good because he loves it, and a desire to speak the truth because he believes it. The actual desire flows in from the Lord, yet appears to be inherent in the person and so to flow from the person. For whatever a person does out of love and desire for it, he does from his life, love being what composes anyone's life. From this it is evident that the things that are called gifts and presents made to the Lord by a person are essentially gifts and presents made to a person by the Lord, and that they are called gifts and presents on account of what they appear to be. All who are wise at heart recognize this appearance, but not so the simple. Yet their gifts and presents are acceptable, so far as they are made in ignorance that has innocence within it. Innocence is the good of love to God, and dwells within ignorance, especially with the wise at heart. Those who are wise at heart know, indeed perceive, that nothing whatever of the wisdom within themselves originates in themselves, but that the all of wisdom is attributable to the Lord, that is, the all of the good of love and the all of the truth of faith are attributable to Him, and that for this reason even with the wise innocence dwells in ignorance. From this it is evident that the acknowledgement of this matter, and especially the perception of it, constitutes the innocence of wisdom.

[3] The gifts offered in the Jewish Church, which were primarily burnt offerings, sacrifices, and minchahs, were also spoken of as offerings made for the expiations of sins; for they were offered for the sake of being pardoned from sins, that is, being removed from them. Those who belonged to that Church also thought that sins were pardoned, indeed completely taken away, by means of these offerings; for it is said of people who have offered them that they will be pardoned, see Leviticus 4:26, 31, 35; 5:6, 10, 13, 16, 18; 6:7; 9:7; 15:15, 30. But they were unaware of the fact that their gifts represented more internal things, thus the kinds of things that are done by a person from love and faith received from the Lord; that these are what expiate, that is, remove sins; and that when they have been removed they appear to have been completely removed or banished, as has been shown above in the present paragraph and the one before it. The worship of that nation was representative, and so was external devoid of anything internal; and it was by means of this worship that heaven was joined to mankind, in those times, see the places referred to in 9320 (end), 9380.

21 Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, even all their sins; and he shall put them on the head of the goat, and shall send him away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who is in readiness.

22 The goat shall carry all their iniquities on himself to a solitary land, and he shall let the goat go in the wilderness.
