Studie

   

1 Ja Herra puhui Mosekselle ja Aaronille, sanoen:

2 Jos ihmisen ihoon tulee ajos, eli rupi, eli syhelmä, niinkuin spitalitauti tahtois tulla hänen ihoonsa, niin pitää hän vietämän papin Aaronin tykö, eli yhden hänen pojistansa pappein seasta.

3 Ja sitte kuin pappi näkee merkin ihossa, ja jos karvat merkissä ovat muuttuneet valkiaksi, ja haavan paikka on nähdä matalampi kuin muu iho hänen ruumiissansa, niin se on spitalitauti, sentähden pitää papin katseleman häntä ja tuomitseman hänen saastaiseksi.

4 Mutta jos hänen ihossansa on valkea syhelmä, eikä kuitenkaan näy olevan syvemmällä muuta ihoa, ja karvat ei ole muuttuneet valkiaksi, niin pitää papin hänen sulkeman sisälle seitsemäksi päiväksi.

5 Ja seitsemäntenä päivänä katselkaan pappi häntä, jos haavat näkyvät hänessä olevan niinkuin ennekin, ja ei ole levinneet hänen ihossansa, niin papin pitää hänen jälleen toiseksi seitsemäksi päiväksi sulkeman sisälle.

6 Ja koska pappi taas katselee hänen toisena seitsemäntenä päivänä ja löytää haavat rauvenneeksi, eikä levinneeksi hänen ihossansa, niin pitää papin tuomitseman hänen puhtaaksi; sillä se on syhelmä: ja pitää pesemän vaatteensa, ja niin on hän puhdas.

7 Mutta jos rupi leviää hänen ihossansa, sitte kuin hän on papilta katsottu ja puhtaaksi sanottu, niin hän pitää katsottaman toisen kerran papilta.

8 Jos siis pappi näkee, että ruvet ovat levinneet hänen ihossansa, niin pitää papin tuomitseman hänen saastaiseksi: se on spitali.

9 Mutta koska spitalin haava tulee ihmiseen, niin hän pitää vietämän papin tykö.

10 Ja koska pappi näke valkian ajoksen tulleeksi hänen ihoonsa, ja karvat vaalistuneeksi, ja elevän lihan olevan ajoksessa.

11 Niin on vanha spitali hänen ihossansa, ja sentähden pitää papin tuomitseman häntä saastaiseksi, ja ei silleen sulkeman sisälle, sillä hän on jo saastainen.

12 Ja jos spitali kovin leviää hänen ihossansa, ja täyttää koko ihonsa, päästä niin jalkoihin, kaiken sen jälkeen, mitä pappi näkee silmäinsä edessä.

13 Koska pappi katsoo ja näkee spitalin peittäneeksi koko hänen ihona, niin pitää hän tuomitseman hänen puhtaaksi, sentähden että kaikki on hänessä muuttunut valkiaksi; sillä hän on puhdas.

14 Mutta jona päivänä elävä liha hänessä näkyy, niin hän tuomitaan saastaiseksi,

15 Ja pappi nähtyänsä elävän lihan, pitää hänen tuomitseman saastaiseksi; sillä elävä liha on saastainen, ja se on spitali.

16 Mutta jos se elävä liha muuttuu jälleen valkiaksi, niin pitää hänen tuleman papin tykö,

17 Ja koska pappi näkee haavat muuttuneen valkiaksi, niin papin pitää tuomitseman hänen puhtaaksi; sillä hän on puhdas.

18 Ja jos jonkun ihoon tulee paisuma, ja paranee jälleen,

19 Ja sitte siihen siaan tulee jotakin valkiaa eli punaista rakkoa, se pitää katsottaman papilta.

20 Koska pappi näkee sen paikan matalammaksi muuta ihoa, ja karvat ovat muuttuneet valkiaksi, niin papin pitää hänen tuomitseman saastaiseksi; sillä siitä paisumasta on spitali tullut.

21 Mutta jos pappi näkee, ettei karvat ole siinä muuttuneet valkiaksi, ja ei ole matalampi kuin muukaan iho, ja se on kadonnut, niin papin pitää sulkeman hänen sisälle seitsemäksi päiväksi.

22 Mutta jos se paljo levenee hänen ihossansa, niin pitää papin tuomitseman hänen saastaiseksi; sillä se on spitalin haava.

23 Mutta jos se syhelmä pysyy siallansa, ja ei levitä itseänsä, niin se on paisuman arpi, ja papin pitää tuomitseman hänen puhtaaksi.

24 Ja jos jonkun iho tulee rupiin tulen poltteesta ja polton haavat ovat punaiset taikka valkiat,

25 Ja pappi näkee sen karvat muuttuneeksi valkiaksi, siitä kuin palanut on, ja matalammaksi muuta ihoa, niin on spitali tullut siitä poltteesta: sentähden pitää papin tuomitseman hänen saastaiseksi; sillä se on spitalin haava.

26 Mutta jos pappi näkee, ettei karvat palaneessa ole muuttuneet valkiaksi, eikä matalammaksi ole tullut muuta ihoa, ja on siitä kadonnut, niin pitää papin sulkeman hänen sisälle seitsemäksi päiväksi.

27 Ja seitsemäntenä päivänä pitää papin katseleman häntä: jos se on paljo levinnyt hänessä, niin papin pitää tuomitseman hänen saastaiseksi; sillä se on spitali.

28 Mutta jos se on alallansa pysynyt palaneessa, eikä ole levinnyt hänen ihossansa, mutta on kadonnut, niin se on arpi palaneen jälkeen, ja papin pitää tuomitseman hänen puhtaaksi; sillä se on arpi palaneen jälkeen.

29 Jos mieheen eli vaimoon tulee syhelmä, päähän eli partaan,

30 Ja pappi katsoo sen ruven ja näkee sen matalammaksi muuta ihoa, ja karvat tulevat siitä paikasta keltaiseksi ja harvemmaksi, niin papin pitää tuomitseman sen saastaiseksi; sillä se on rupi, se on spitali päässä eli parrassa.

31 Mutta jos pappi näkee, ettei se rupi ole matalampi muuta ihoa, ja karvat ei ole hänessä mustat, niin pitää papin sulkeman hänen, jolla rupihaava on, sisälle seitsemäksi päiväksi.

32 Ja koska pappi seitsemäntenä päivänä näkee, ettei rupi ole levinnyt ihossa, eikä ole keltaisia karvoja, ja ei ole rupi matalampi nähdä muuta ihoa,

33 Pitää hänen ajeleman itsensä, kuitenkin ettei hän ajele rupea ja papin pitää hänen, jolla rupi on, sulkeman sisälle toiseksi seitsemäksi päiväksi;

34 Ja koska pappi seitsemäntenä päivänä näkee ruven, ja löytää, ettei rupi ole levinnyt ihossa, ja ei ole matalampi muuta ihoa, niin papin pitää tuomitseman hänen puhtaaksi, ja hänen pitää pesemän vaatteensa, ja niin puhdas oleman.

35 Mutta jos rupi kovin levittää itsensä ihoon hänen puhdistuksensa jälkeen,

36 Ja pappi näkee ruven levinneeksi ihossa, niin ei pidä papin silleen kysymän, jos karvat ovat keltaiset; sillä hän on saastainen.

37 Jos se on silmäin edessä nähdä, että rupi on yhdellänsä ollut, ja siitä ovat mustat karvat käyneet ulos, niin rupi on parantunut, ja hän on puhdas: sentähden pitää papin hänen puhtaaksi sanoman.

38 Ja jos miehen eli vaimon ihoon tulee valkia syhelmä,

39 Ja pappi näkee sen rauvenneeksi, niin on valkia rupi tullut hänen ihoonsa, ja hän on puhdas.

40 Jos miehen hiukset päästä lähtevät, niin että hän tulee paljaspääksi, hän on puhdas.

41 Ja jos ne etiseltä puolelta päätä lähtevät, niin hän on otsalta paljas, ja on puhdas.

42 Mutta jos joku valkea taikka punainen haava tulee paljaan päälle, niin on siihen spitali tullut paljaan pään eli otsan päälle;

43 Sentähden pitää papin katsoman häntä, ja koska hän näkee valkian eli punaisen haavan tulleen paljaan pään eli otsan päälle, että se näkyy niinkuin muukin spitali ihossa,

44 Niin hän on spitalinen ja saastainen mies, ja papin pitää kaiketi tuomitseman hänen saastaiseksi, senkaltaisen haavan tähden hänen päässänsä.

45 Joka spitalinen on, hänen vaatteensa pitää revityt oleman, ja pää avoin, suu peitetty, ja hänen pitää huutaman: saastainen! saastainen!

46 Niinkauvan kuin haava hänessä on, pitää hänen saastainen oleman, yksinänsä asuman ja hänen asuinsiansa ulkona leiristä oleman.

47 Jos jonkun vaatteeseen tulee tulee spitalin haava, olkoon se lankainen eli liinainen,

48 Loimeen eli kuteesen, olkoon se liinainen eli villainen, elikkä nahkaan, elikkä kaikkinaiseen nahkavaatteeseen:

49 Ja jos se haava kovin vihertyy, eli paljo punertuu vaatteessa, eli nahassa, eli loimessa, eli kuteessa, eli jossakussa kappaleessa, joka nahasta tehty on, se on spitalin haava; sentähden pitää papin häntä katsoman.

50 Ja koska pappi senkaltaisen haavan näkee, niin hänen pitää sen sulkeman sisälle seitsemäksi päiväksi;

51 Ja jos hän seitsemäntenä päivänä näkee että haava on levinnyt vaatteessa, loimessa eli kuteessa, nahassa, eli jossakussa kappaleessa joka nahasta tehty on, niin on se kuluttavainen spitali, ja se haava on saastainen.

52 Ja hänen pitää vaatteet polttaman, loimen ja kuteen, eli mikä se olis, liinainen eli lankainen, eli kaikkinainen joka nahasta tehty on, jossa senkaltainen haava on; sillä se on kuluttavainen spitali, ja pitää tulessa poltettaman.

53 Ja jos pappi näkee, ettei haava ole levinnyt vaatteessa, loimessa eli kuteessa, eli kaikkinaisessa kappaleessa joka nahasta on,

54 Niin pitää papin käskemän pestä sen, jossa haava on, ja pitää hänen sulkeman sisälle jällensä toiseksi seitsemäksi päiväksi.

55 Ja koska pappi näkee haavan, sittekuin se pesty on, ettei haava ole muuttunut hänen silmäinsä edessä, eikä myös ole levinnyt, niin se on saastainen, ja pitää tulessa poltettaman; sillä se on syvälle itsensä laskenut, ja on sen paljaaksi kuluttanut.

56 Jos pappi näkee, ette haava kadonnut on sittekuin se pestiin, niin hänen pitää sen repäisemän pois vaatteesta, nahasta, loimesta eli kuteesta.

57 Ja jos se vielä sitte näkyy vaatteessa, loimessa, kuteessa eli kaikkinaisessa nahkavaatteessa, niin se on pisama, ja se pitää poltettaman tulessa ynnä sen kanssa, jossa se haava on.

58 Mutta vaate, loimi, kude, eli kaikkinainen nahkakalu, kuin pesty on, joista haava kadonnut on; se pitää vastuudesta pestämän ja puhdas oleman.

59 Tämä on sääty spitalisesta ruvesta vaatteessa, liinaisessa, lankaisessa loimessa eli kuteessa, ja kaikkinaisessa nahkavaatteessa: niitä puhtaaksi eli saastaiseksi sanoa.

4735. Shed no blood. That this signifies that they should not do violence to what is holy is evident from the signification of “blood” as being what is holy-of which in what follows; hence “to shed blood” is to do violence to what is holy. All the holy in heaven proceeds from the Lord’s Divine Human, and therefore all the holy in the church; wherefore that violence might not be done to it, the Holy Supper was instituted by the Lord, in which it is expressly said that the bread is His flesh, and the wine His blood, thus that it is his Divine Human from which the holy then comes. With the ancients, flesh and blood signified the human own, because the human consists of flesh and blood; thus the Lord said to Simon, “Blessed art thou, for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but My Father who is in the heavens” (Matthew 16:17). The flesh and the blood, therefore, signified by the bread and the wine in the Holy Supper, denote the Lord’s Human Own. The Lord’s Own Itself, which He acquired to Himself by His own power, is Divine. His Own from conception was what He had from Jehovah His Father, and was Jehovah Himself. Hence the Own which He acquired to Himself in the Human was Divine. This Divine Own in the Human is what is called His flesh and blood; “flesh” is His Divine good (n. 3813), and “blood” is the Divine truth of Divine good.

[2] The Lord’s Human, after it was glorified or made Divine, cannot be thought of as human, but as the Divine love in human form; and this so much the more than the angels, who, when they appear (as seen by me), appear as forms of love and charity under the human shape, and this from the Lord; for the Lord from Divine love made His Human Divine; just as man through heavenly love becomes an angel after death, so that he appears, as just said, as a form of love and charity under the human shape. It is plain from this that by the Lord’s Divine Human, in the celestial sense is signified the Divine love itself, which is love toward the whole human race, in that it wills to save them and to make them blessed and happy to eternity, and to make its Divine their own so far as they can receive it. This love and the reciprocal love of man to the Lord, and also love toward the neighbor, are what are signified and represented in the Holy Supper-the Divine celestial love by the flesh or bread, and the Divine spiritual love by the blood or wine.

[3] From these things it is now evident what is meant in John by eating the Lord’s flesh and drinking His blood:

I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eat of this bread he shall live forever; and the bread that I will give is My flesh. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, hath eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He that eateth My flesh and drinketh My blood abideth in Me, and I in him. This is the bread which came down from heaven (John 6:51-58).

As “flesh and blood” signify as before said the Divine celestial and the Divine spiritual which are from the Lord’s Divine Human, or what is the same, the Divine good and the Divine truth of his love, by “eating and drinking” is signified making them one’s own; and this is effected by a life of love and charity, which is also a life of faith. (That “eating” is making good one’s own, and “drinking” making truth one’s own, may be seen above, n. 2187, 3069, 3168, 3513, 3596, 3734, 3832, 4017, 4018.)

[4] As “blood” in the celestial sense signifies the Divine spiritual or the Divine truth proceeding from the Lord’s Divine Human, it therefore signifies the holy proceeding; for the Divine truth proceeding from the Lord’s Divine Human is the holy itself.

[5] Holiness is nothing else, nor from any other source. That “blood” signifies this holy is evident from many passages in the Word, of which we may adduce the following:

Son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovih, Say to every bird of the heaven, to every wild beast of the field, Assemble yourselves and come; gather yourselves from every side upon My sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh and drink blood. Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, [of bullocks,] all of them fatlings of Bashan. And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of My sacrifice which I will sacrifice for you. And ye shall be sated at My table with horse and chariot, with the strong, and with every man of war. And I will set My glory among the nations (Ezekiel 39:17-21).

The subject here treated of is the calling together of all to the Lord’s kingdom, and specifically the setting up again of the church among the Gentiles; and by their “eating flesh and drinking blood” is signified making Divine good and Divine truth their own, thus the holy which proceeds from the Lord’s Divine Human. Who cannot see that by “flesh” is not meant flesh, nor by “blood” blood, where it is said that they should eat the flesh of the mighty and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, and that they should be sated with horse and chariot, with the strong, and with every man of war?

[6] So likewise in Revelation:

I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, Come and gather yourselves unto the supper of the great God; that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of the strong, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit thereon, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great (Revelation 19:17-18);

who would ever understand these words unless he knew what is signified in the internal sense by “flesh,” and what by “kings,” “captains,” “the strong” “horses,” “those that sit thereon,” and “free and bond?”

[7] Further in Zechariah:

He shall speak peace to the nations; and His dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth. As for thee also, through the blood of Thy covenant I will send forth thy bound out of the pit (Zech. 9:10-11); where the Lord is spoken of; the “blood of Thy covenant” is the Divine truth proceeding from his Divine Human, and is the holy itself which, after He was glorified, went forth from Him. This holy is also what is called the Holy Spirit, as is evident in John:

Jesus said, If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink. Whosoever believeth in Me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. But this spoke He of the Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not yet glorified (John 7:37-39).

That the holy proceeding from the Lord is the “spirit,” may be seen in John 6:63.

[8] Moreover, that “blood” is the holy proceeding from the Lord’s Divine Human, in David:

Bring back their soul from deceit and violence; and precious shall their blood be in His eyes (Psalms 72:14);

“precious blood” denotes the holy which they would receive.

In Revelation:

These are they who come out of great affliction, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb (Revelation 7:14).

And again:

They overcame the dragon by the blood of the lamb, and by the Word of their testimony; and they loved not their soul even unto death (Revelation 12:11).

[9] The church at this day does not know otherwise than that the “blood of the lamb” here signifies the Lord’s passion, because it is believed that they are saved solely by the Lord having suffered, and that it was for this that He was sent into the world; but let this view of it be for the simple, who cannot comprehend interior arcana. The Lord’s passion was the last of His temptation, by which He fully glorified His Human (Luke 24:26; John 12:23, 27-28; 13:31-32; 17:1, 4-5); but the “blood of the lamb” is the same as the Divine truth, or the holy proceeding from the Lord’s Divine Human; thus the same as the “blood of the covenant” spoken of just above, and of which it is also written in Moses:

[10] Moses took the book of the covenant, and read in the ears of the people; and they said, All that Jehovah hath spoken will we do, and hear. Then Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant which Jehovah hath made with you upon all these words (Exodus 24:7-8).

The “book of the covenant” was the Divine truth which they then had, which was confirmed by the blood testifying that it was from His Divine Human.

[11] In the rituals of the Jewish Church blood had no other signification than the holy proceeding from the Lord’s Divine Human, wherefore when they were sanctified, it was done by blood-as when Aaron and his sons were sanctified, blood was sprinkled upon the horns of the altar, the remainder at the bottom of the altar, also upon the tip of the right ear, the thumb of the right hand, and the great toe of the right foot, and upon his garments (Exodus 29:12, 16, 20; Leviticus 8:15, 19, 23, 30). And when Aaron entered within the veil to the mercy-seat, blood was also to be sprinkled with the finger upon the mercy-seat eastward seven times (Leviticus 16:12-15). So also in the rest of the sanctifications, and also in the expiations and cleansings (in regard to which see the following passages, Exodus 12:7, 13, 22; 30:10; Leviticus 1:5, 11, 15; 3:2, 8, 13; 4:6-7, 17-18, 25, 30, 34; 5:9; 6:27-28; 14:14-19, 25-30; 16:12-15, 18-19; Deuteronomy 12:27).

[12] As by “blood” in the genuine sense is signified the holy, so in the opposite sense by “blood” and “bloods” are signified those things which offer violence to it, because by shedding innocent blood is signified doing violence to what is holy. For this reason wicked things of life and profane things of worship were called “blood.” That “blood” and “bloods” have such a signification, is evident from the following passages.

In Isaiah:

When the Lord shall have washed the excrement of the daughters of Zion, and shall have washed away the bloods of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of expurgation (Isaiah 4:4).

The waters of Dimon are full of blood (Isaiah 15:9).

Again:

Your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity. Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity (Isaiah 59:3, 7).

In Jeremiah:

Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the innocent poor (Jeremiah 2:34).

[13] Again:

It is because of the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of Jerusalem. They have wandered blind in the streets, they are polluted with blood; those which they cannot [pollute] they touch with their garments (Lam. 4:13-14).

In Ezekiel:

I have passed by thee, and saw thee trodden down in thy bloods, and I said unto thee, Live in thy bloods, and I said unto thee, Live in thy bloods. I washed thee with waters, and washed away thy bloods from upon thee, and I anointed thee with oil (Ezekiel 16:6, 9).

Again:

Thou son of man, Wilt thou debate with a city of bloods? Make known to her all her abominations. Thou art become guilty through thy blood that thou hast shed, and art defiled through thine idols which thou hast made. Behold the princes of Israel, everyone according to his arm, have been in thee and have shed blood; men of slander have been in thee to shed blood; and in thee they have eaten at the mountains (Ezekiel 22:2-4, 6, 9).

In Moses:

If anyone shall sacrifice elsewhere than upon the altar at the tent, it shall be blood; and as if he had shed blood (Leviticus 17:1-9).

[14] Falsified and profaned truth is signified by the following passages concerning blood.

In Joel:

I will set wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day come (Joel 2:30-31).

In Revelation:

The sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood (Revelation 6:12).

Again

The second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea; and the third part of the sea became blood (Revelation 8:8).

Again:

The second angel poured out his vial into the sea; and it became blood as of a dead man, and every living soul died in the sea. And the third angel poured out his vial into the rivers, and into the fountains of waters, and there became blood (Revelation 16:3-4).

[15] Similar is what is said in Exodus (7:15-22), about the rivers, ponds, and pools of water in Egypt being turned into blood; for by “Egypt” is signified the memory-knowledge which from itself enters into heavenly mysteries, and hence perverts, denies, and profanes Divine truths (n. 1164, 1165, 1186). All the miracles in Egypt, being Divine, involved such things. The “rivers which were turned into blood” are the truths of intelligence and wisdom (n. 108, 109, 3051); “waters” have a similar signification (n. 680, 2702, 3058), and also “fountains” (n. 2702, 3096, 3424); “seas” are truths in the complex which are a matter of memory-knowledge (n. 28); the “moon” of which it is also said that it should be “turned into blood,” is Divine truth (n. 1529-1531, 2495, 4060). It is evident from this, that by the moon, the sea, fountains, waters, and rivers, being turned into blood, is signified truth falsified and profaned.
