Leviticus 21

Studie

   

1 Ja Issand ütles Moosesele: 'Räägi preestritega, Aaroni poegadega, ja ütle neile, et ükski neist ei tohi ennast roojastada surnu pärast oma rahva seas;

2 üksnes sugulase pärast, kes temale on kõige lähem: oma ema ja isa, oma poja ja tütre, oma venna

3 või oma neitsiliku õe pärast, kes on temaga suguluses ega ole saanud mehele, võib ta ennast roojastada;

4 ta ei tohi ennast roojastada ega teotada isandana oma rahva seas!

5 Nad ei tohi endil pealage paljaks ajada ega habeme äärt ära lõigata ja nad ei tohi oma ihusse lõigata mitte mingisugust märki!

6 Nad peavad olema pühad oma Jumalale ja nad ei tohi teotada oma Jumala nime, sest nad ohverdavad Issanda tuleohvreid, oma Jumala leiba, ja seepärast olgu nad pühad!

7 Nad ei tohi võtta hoora ega teotatud naist; nad ei tohi võtta ka mehe poolt äraaetud naist, sest preester on pühitsetud oma Jumalale!

8 Sa pead teda pidama pühaks, sest ta ohverdab sinu Jumala leiba; ta olgu sulle püha, sest mina, Issand, kes teid pühitseb, olen püha!

9 Kui preestri tütar ennast teotab hoorusega, siis ta teotab oma isa; ta põletatagu ära tulega!

10 Ülempreester oma vendade hulgas, kellele on valatud pähe võideõli ja kelle kätt on täidetud, et ta võib kanda ametiriideid, ei tohi oma juukseid lahtiseks jätta ega oma riideid lõhki käristada,

11 ja ta ei tohi minna mitte ühegi surnu juurde; ka oma isa ja ema pärast ei tohi ta ennast roojastada!

12 Ta ei tohi väljuda pühamust, et ta ei teotaks oma Jumala pühamut, sest tema peal on ta Jumala pühitsuse võideõli! Mina olen Issand!

13 Ta võtku naine selle neitsipõlves:

14 ta ei tohi võtta leske ega hüljatut ega teotatut ega hoora, vaid ta võtku naiseks üks neitsi oma rahva seast,

15 et ta ei teotaks oma seemet oma rahva seas, sest mina olen Issand, kes teda on pühitsenud!'

16 Ja Issand rääkis Moosesega, öeldes:

17 'Räägi Aaroniga ja ütle: Ükski su järglasist nende tulevastes põlvedes, kellel on mingi viga, ei tohi tulla ohverdama oma Jumala leiba,

18 sest ükski, kellel on mingi viga, ärgu astugu esile, olgu mees pime või lombak või lõhkise ninaga või mõne moonutatud liikmega,

19 või keegi, kellel on murtud jalg või murtud käsi,

20 või on küürakas, kuivetanud, kaega silmal, sügeliste või sammaspoolega, või on kohitsetu!

21 Ükski preester Aaroni järglasist, kellel on mingi viga, ärgu tulgu ohverdama Issanda tuleohvreid: tal on viga küljes, ta ei tohi tulla ohverdama oma Jumala leiba!

22 Oma Jumala leiba, kõige pühamat ja püha, ta võib küll süüa,

23 ometi ta ei tohi tulla eesriide juurde ega ligineda altarile, sest ta on vigane; ta ei tohi teotada minu pühi paiku, sest mina olen Issand, kes need on pühitsenud!'

24 Ja Mooses rääkis seda Aaronile ja ta poegadele ja kõigile Iisraeli lastele.

Apocalypse Explained # 505

505. And they were cast unto the earth, signifies progression towards the lower parts, where the evil were. This is evident from the signification of "being cast unto the earth," namely, "hail and fire mingled with blood," which was effected by "the first angel sounding," as being to advance towards the lower parts, where the evil were consociated, with whom also there were some of the good. This signifies progression towards the lower parts, because the changes and desolations that are signified by "the third part of the trees and all the green grass were burnt up," were effected progressively towards the lower parts where the evil were, as has been said above. "The earth" means here the lower parts, because these things were seen by John when he was in the spirit, that is, when he was in the spiritual world; for man's spirit, when it has its sight opened, sees the things that are in the spiritual world and in that world there are mountains, hills, and valleys, and upon the mountains and hills there are the angelic heavens, but in the valleys below are those who have not yet been taken up into heaven; on these, therefore, there were now the evil mixed with the good; wherefore these valleys that were below the mountains and hills are here meant by "the earth" (or land); so "to be cast unto the earth" means out of the heavens towards the lower parts. But when mountains, hills, and valleys taken together are called "the earth," then "the earth" signifies the church there.

Arcana Coelestia # 10566

10566. 'And consider that this nation is Your people' means that they alone in the world are the ones with whom the Divine, the ruler over all things, resides. This is clear from the meaning of 'Jehovah's nation' as where the Divine Himself resides, and in the spiritual sense where the Lord's Church resides; for all taken together who acknowledge the Lord in faith and love are Jehovah's nation. But the children of Israel at that time had no thoughts of the Church, only of possessing the land of Canaan and of their pre-eminence over others. It was only because Moses had been told that the name of their God, which they had not known previously, was Jehovah, Exodus 3:13-14, and because they witnessed such great miracles performed by Him in Egypt, at the Sea Suph, and in the wilderness, that they acknowledged Jehovah as their God. But even so in their heart there was no belief in Him; for they believed that there were a number of gods. This may be clearly recognized from the golden calf which, while Moses delayed [to come down from the mountain], they venerated as their god, indeed as Jehovah 1 , and from the gods which after this they so often turned away to, as is evident from the historical narratives of the Word. From this evidence it becomes clear that they worshipped Jehovah solely on account of His miracles and not because He alone was God; and anyone who worships God solely on account of His miracles worships merely God's name, not God Himself, and turns away from that name as often as he does not attain his desires.

The Israelite nation worshipped Jehovah, but only His name, see 3732(end), 4299, 6877.

At heart they were idolaters, 4208, 4281, 4820, 5998, 6877, 7401, 8301, 8882.

They were the worst nation, 4314, 4316, 4317, 4444, 4503, 4570, 4751, 4815, 4820, 4832, 5057, 7248, 8819, 9320; and in addition, 10396.

From all this it now becomes clear what 'that this nation is Your people' means, namely that they alone were the ones with whom Jehovah resided, and so that they would be made pre-eminent over all other nations. But although this is what those words mean in the proximate sense, nevertheless in the internal sense they mean that the Divine, consequently the Church, would reside with them.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. In this instance Swedenborg does not use a capital letter for the Divine name in this particular expression; i.e. he writes jehovah, not Jehovah.
