Studie

   

1 Sinun pitää myös tekemän suitsutusalttarin suitsutettaa: sittimipuusta sinun sen tekemän pitää.

2 Kyynärä pitää oleman hänen pituutensa ja kyynärä leveytensä: nelikulmaisen pitää sen oleman, ja kaksi kyynärää hänen korkeutensa; siitä myös pitää oleman hänen sarvensa.

3 Ja sinun pitää silaaman sen puhtaalla kullalla, hänen lakensa ja seinänsä ympärinsä, ja sen sarvet. Ja sinun pitää tekemän kultaisen vanteen sen ympärinsä.

4 Ja kaksi kultaista rengasta pitää sinun tekemän, molemmille tahoille kahteen hänen kulmaansa vanteen alle, että korennot niihin pistettäisiin, joilla se kannettaisiin.

5 Sinun pitää myös tekemän korennot sittimipuusta, ja silaaman ne kullalla.

6 Ja asettaman se esiripun eteen, joka on todistusarkin edessä; armo-istuimen edessä, joka on todistuksen päällä, siellä minä tulen sinun tykös.

7 Ja Aaronin pitää sen päällä polttaman hyvänhajullista suitsutusta: joka aamu koska hän valmistaa kynttilät, pitää hänen sen suitsuttaman.

8 Niin myös koska Aaron sytyttää kynttilät kahden ehtoon välillä, pitää hänen sen suitsuttaman: sen suitsutuksen pitää oleman alinomaisen Herran edessä, teidän sukukunnissanne.

9 Ei teidän pidä yhtään muukalaista suitsutusta tekemän sen päällä, eli polttouhria, eli ruokauhria, eikä myös juomauhria uhraaman sen päällä.

10 Ja Aaron pitää sen sarvein päällä sovittaman kerran vuodessa: rikosuhrin verestä pitää hänen sen päällä kerran vuodessa sovittaman teidän sukukunnissanne: se on kaikkein pyhin Herralle.

11 Ja Herra puhui Mosekselle, sanoen:

12 Koska Israelin lapset luettelet, niin heidän pitää itsekunkin sielunsa edestä antaman sovinnon Herralle, koska he luetellaan: ettei heidän päällensä joku rangaistus tulisi, koska he luetellaan.

13 Ja pitää jokaisen, joka luvussa on, antaman puolen sikliä, pyhän siklin jälkeen: sikli maksaa kaksikymmentä geraa: puoli sikliä pitää oleman Herran ylennysuhri.

14 Joka kahdenkymmenen vuotisen luvussa löydetään ja sen ylitse: sen pitää antaman Herralle ylennysuhrin.

15 Varallisen ei pidä siihen lisäämän, ja köyhän ei pidä vähentämän puolesta siklistä, koska he antavat Herralle ylennysuhrin teidän sieluinne sovinnoksi.

16 Ja sinun pitää sovintorahan ottaman Israelin lapsilta, ja antaman sen seurakunnan majan palvelukseksi: ja sen pitää Israelin lapsille muistoksi oleman Herran edessä, että teidän sielunne sovitettaisiin.

17 Niin Herra taas puhui Mosekselle, sanoen:

18 Sinun pitää myös tekemän vaskisen pesoastian, vaskijalan kanssa, pesemistä varten: ja sen pitää sinun asettaman seurakunnan majan ja alttarin vaiheelle, ja paneman siihen vettä.

19 Että Aaron ja hänen poikansa pesisivät siitä kätensä ja jalkansa.

20 Koska he menevät seurakunnan majaan, pitää heidän itsensä pesemän vedellä, ettei he kuolisi, taikka koska he lähestyvät alttarin tykö palvelemaan Herraa savu-uhrilla.

21 Ja heidän pitää pesemän kätensä ja jalkansa, ettei he kuolisi ja se pitää heille oleman ijankaikkiseksi säädyksi, hänelle ja hänen siemenellensä heidän sukukunnissansa.

22 Ja Herra puhui Mosekselle, sanoen:

23 Ota sinulles parhaista kaluista: kaikkein kalliimmasta mirhamista viisisataa sikliä, ja puoli sen vertaa kanelia, kaksisataa ja viisikymmentä, ja myös kalmusta kaksisataa ja viisikymmentä.

24 Mutta kasiaa viisisataa pyhän siklin jälkeen, ja öljyä öljypuusta yksi hin,

25 Ja sinun pitää siitä tekemän pyhän voidellusöljyn, parhaan voiteen apotekarin tavalla: sen pitää pyhän voiteen-öljyn oleman.

26 Sillä sinun pitää voiteleman seurakunnan majan, niin myös todistusarkin.

27 Ja pöydän ja kaikki hänen astiansa, ja kynttiläjalan ja sen astiat, niin myös suitsutusalttarin,

28 Polttouhrin alttarin ja kaikki sen astiat, niin myös pesoastian jalkoinensa.

29 Ja sinun pitää ne pyhittämän, ja ne pitää kaikkein pyhimmät oleman: mitä ikänänsä niihin tarttuu, se pitää pyhitetty oleman.

30 Aaronin ja hänen poikansa pitää sinun myös voiteleman ja pyhittämän heitä minulle papiksi.

31 Sinun pitää myös puhuman Israelin lapsille, sanoen: tämä öljy pitää oleman minulle pyhä voidellus teidän sukukunnissanne.

32 Ihmisen ruumiin päälle ei pidä se voidellus vuodatettaman, ja ei teidän pidä myös senkaltaista tekemän; sillä se on pyhä, sentähden pitää myös se teiltä pyhitettämän.

33 Se joka tekee senkaltaista voidetta, eli joka panee sitä muukalaisen päälle, se pitää hävitettämän kansoistansa.

34 Ja Herra sanoi Mosekselle: ota sinulle hyvänhajullisia kaluja, staktea ja galbania (a); näistä hajavista kaluista, puhtaan pyhän savun (b) kanssa, pitää yhden verran oleman. (a) Bdellium. (b) Ollibanum purum.

35 Sinun pitää siitä tekemän suitsutuksen, apotekarin tavalla: suolatun, puhtaan ja pyhän.

36 Ja sinun pitää sen pieneksi survoman, ja paneman siitä todistuksen eteen seurakunnan majaan, kussa minä olen sinua läsnä: sen pitää teille oleman kaikkein pyhimmän.

37 Ja senkaltaista suitsutusta ei teidän pidä itsellenne tekemän; mutta tämä pitää oleman sinulle pyhä, Herran edessä.

38 Joka senkaltaista tekee suitsuttaaksensa, se pitää hävitettämän kansoistansa.

Apocalypse Explained # 1150

/ 1232  
  

1150. Verse 13. And cinnamon and incense signifies profaned worship from celestial love. This is evident from the signification of "cinnamon," as being the good of celestial love (of which presently); also from the signification of "incense or perfume," as being the truth of celestial love, which truth is the good of wisdom because it is from the good of celestial love. Worship from celestial love is meant because in this verse things relating to worship are enumerated, while in the former verse the things relating to doctrine were enumerated. That things relating to worship are here signified can be seen from what follows, and also from this, that so many particulars are enumerated, which would not have been done except to describe the profanation of all things of worship from first to last. There is this distinction between doctrine and worship, that doctrine teaches how God must be worshiped, and how man must live that he may withdraw from hell and draw near to heaven; but this is effected by worship, since worship is actual as well as oral.

[2] "Cinnamon" signifies celestial love because it is a most excellent aromatic, and for this reason the oil for holy anointing was prepared from this and other aromatics (as may be seen Exodus 30:23, 24); and the oil for holy anointing signified the Divine love, and the aromatics, which were pure myrrh, aromatic cinnamon, sweet calamus, and cassia, signified the Divine wisdom, and when united with the oil of olive signified the Lord's Divine wisdom united to His Divine love. The Divine wisdom was signified by those aromatics, because "odor" signifies perception, and perception belongs to wisdom. As this was the signification of the oil of anointing, all things that were to serve for worship were sanctified by it, as the altar, the Tent of meeting, the ark with the mercy-seat and cherubs, also Aaron's garments of holiness, and Aaron himself. This makes evident that "cinnamon" signifies celestial good, and "incense or perfumes" signifies such things as proceed from that good, all of which have reference to truth, and truth in its form is wisdom. And because this truth derives its essence from the good of celestial love it is called the good of wisdom. That the worship from that love has been profaned is evident from what has been said above about the profanation of all things of doctrine; and when all things of doctrine have been profaned all things of worship are also profaned, since worship is from doctrine and according to doctrine.

(Continuation respecting the Athanasian Faith)

[3] 4. The fourth law of the Divine providence is, That the understanding and will must not be compelled in the least, since all compulsion by another takes away freedom, but man should compel himself, for to compel oneself is from freedom. Man's freedom belongs to his will, and from the will it is in the thought of the understanding, and through the thought in the speech of the lips and in the action of the body. For when a man wills anything from freedom he says, I will to think this, I will to speak this, and I will to do this. Moreover, from the freedom of the will man has the ability to think, to speak, and to act; for the will gives this ability, because it gives freedom. Since freedom belongs to man's will it also belongs to his love, since nothing constitutes freedom in man except the love that is of his will; and for this reason that love is man's life; for man is such as his love is; consequently whatever goes forth from the love of his will goes forth from his life. This makes clear that freedom belongs to man's will, to his love, and to his life, consequently that it makes one with what is his own [proprium] and with his nature and disposition.

[4] Now because it is the Lord's will that everything that comes from Himself to man should be appropriated to man as if it were his own, since otherwise there would be in man no reciprocal by which conjunction is effected, so it is a law of the Divine providence that man's understanding and will should not be compelled in the least by another. For who is not able to think and will evil or good, against the laws or with the laws, against the king or with the king, and even against God or with God? Yet man is not allowed to speak and do everything that he thinks and wills. There are fears that compel the externals, but they do not compel the internals; and for the reason that the externals must be reformed by means of the internals, and not the internals by means of the externals; for what is internal flows into what is external, and not the reverse. Moreover, internals belong to man's spirit, and externals to his body, and as it is the spirit of man that must be reformed the spirit is not compelled.

[5] Nevertheless, there are fears that compel man's internals or his spirit, but they are only such fears as flow in from the spiritual world, and which relate on the one hand to the punishments of hell, and on the other to the loss of favor with God. But fear on account of the punishments of hell is an external fear of the thought and will, while the fear of the loss of favor with God is an internal fear of the thought and will, and is the holy fear that adds and conjoins itself to the love, with which at length it makes one essence. It is like one who loves another and from love fears to injure him.

Exodus 30

Studie

   

1 "You shall make an altar to burn incense on. You shall make it of acacia wood.

2 Its length shall be a cubit, and its breadth a cubit. It shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits. Its horns shall be of one piece with it.

3 You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top, its sides around it, and its horns; and you shall make a gold molding around it.

4 You shall make two golden rings for it under its molding; on its two ribs, on its two sides you shall make them; and they shall be for places for poles with which to bear it.

5 You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.

6 You shall put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with you.

7 Aaron shall burn incense of sweet spices on it every morning. When he tends the lamps, he shall burn it.

8 When Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before Yahweh throughout your generations.

9 You shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt offering, nor meal offering; and you shall pour no drink offering on it.

10 Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once in the year; with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once in the year he shall make atonement for it throughout your generations. It is most holy to Yahweh."

11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

12 "When you take a census of the children of Israel, according to those who are numbered among them, then each man shall give a ransom for his soul to Yahweh, when you number them; that there be no plague among them when you number them.

13 They shall give this, everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary; (the shekel is twenty gerahs;) half a shekel for an offering to Yahweh.

14 Everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering to Yahweh.

15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls.

16 You shall take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the Tent of Meeting; that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls."

17 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

18 "You shall also make a basin of brass, and its base of brass, in which to wash. You shall put it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it.

19 Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in it.

20 When they go into the Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with water, that they not die; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die: and it shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his descendants throughout their generations."

22 Moreover Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

23 "Also take fine spices: of liquid myrrh, five hundred shekels; and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, even two hundred and fifty; and of fragrant cane, two hundred and fifty;

24 and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary; and a hin of olive oil.

25 You shall make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.

26 You shall use it to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the testimony,

27 the table and all its articles, the lampstand and its accessories, the altar of incense,

28 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its base.

29 You shall sanctify them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.

30 You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.

31 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'This shall be a holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations.

32 It shall not be poured on man's flesh, neither shall you make any like it, according to its composition: it is holy. It shall be holy to you.

33 Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.'"

34 Yahweh said to Moses, "Take to yourself sweet spices, gum resin, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be an equal weight;

35 and you shall make incense of it, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy:

36 and you shall beat some of it very small, and put some of it before the testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be to you most holy.

37 The incense which you shall make, according to its composition you shall not make for yourselves: it shall be to you holy for Yahweh.

38 Whoever shall make any like that, to smell of it, he shall be cut off from his people."
