1 "Tee heille näin, pyhittääksesi heidät pappeina palvelemaan minua: Ota mullikka ja kaksi virheetöntä oinasta

2 ja happamatonta leipää ja öljyyn leivottuja happamattomia kakkuja ja öljyllä voideltuja happamattomia ohukaisia; leivo ne lestyistä nisujauhoista.

3 Ja pane ne samaan koriin ja tuo ne korissa, samalla kertaa kuin tuot mullikan ja kaksi oinasta.

4 Tuo sitten Aaron poikinensa ilmestysmajan ovelle ja pese heidät vedellä.

5 Ja ota vaatteet ja pue Aaronin ylle ihokas ja kasukan viitta ja kasukka ja rintakilpi; ja sido hänen ympärilleen kasukan vyö.

6 Pane myös käärelakki hänen päähänsä ja kiinnitä pyhä otsalehti käärelakkiin.

7 Ja ota voiteluöljyä ja vuodata hänen päähänsä ja voitele hänet.

8 Ja tuo hänen poikansa esille ja pue heidän ylleen ihokkaat.

9 Ja vyötä heidät vyöllä, sekä Aaron että hänen poikansa, ja sido päähineet heidän päähänsä, että pappeus olisi heillä ikuisena säätynä. Vihi näin virkaansa Aaron ja hänen poikansa.

10 Ja tuo mullikka ilmestysmajan eteen, ja Aaron poikineen laskekoon kätensä mullikan pään päälle.

11 Ja teurasta sitten mullikka Herran edessä, ilmestysmajan ovella.

12 Ja ota mullikan verta ja sivele sitä sormellasi alttarin sarviin; mutta kaikki muu veri vuodata alttarin juurelle.

13 Ja ota kaikki sisälmyksiä peittävä rasva ja maksanlisäke ja molemmat munuaiset ynnä niiden päällä oleva rasva, ja polta ne alttarilla.

14 Mutta mullikan liha, nahka ja rapa polta tulessa leirin ulkopuolella. Se on syntiuhri.

15 Ja ota toinen oinaista, ja Aaron poikinensa laskekoon kätensä sen oinaan pään päälle.

16 Teurasta sitten oinas ja ota sen veri ja vihmo se alttarille ympärinsä;

17 ja leikkele oinas määräkappaleiksi ja pese sen sisälmykset ja jalat ja pane ne kappaleiden ja pään päälle.

18 Ja polta koko oinas alttarilla. Se on polttouhri Herralle, se on suloisesti tuoksuva uhri Herralle.

19 Ota sitten toinen oinas, ja Aaron poikinensa laskekoon kätensä oinaan pään päälle.

20 Ja teurasta oinas ja ota sen verta ja sivele Aaronin ja hänen poikiensa oikean korvan lehteen ja oikean käden peukaloon ja heidän oikean jalkansa isoonvarpaaseen, mutta vihmo muu veri alttarille ympärinsä.

21 Ja ota alttarilla olevaa verta ja voiteluöljyä ja pirskoita Aaronin ja hänen vaatteidensa päälle, ja samoin hänen poikiensa ja heidän vaatteidensa päälle. Näin hän tulee pyhäkölle pyhitetyksi, sekä hän itse että hänen vaatteensa, ja samoin hänen poikansa ja hänen poikiensa vaatteet.

22 Ota sitten oinaasta rasva ja rasvahäntä ja sisälmyksiä peittävä rasva ja maksanlisäke ja molemmat munuaiset ynnä niiden päällä oleva rasva ja oikea reisi, sillä tämä on vihkiäisoinas.

23 Ja ota pyöreä leipä ja öljyyn leivottu kakku ja ohukainen happamattomien leipien korista, joka on Herran edessä.

24 Ja pane kaikki nämä Aaronin käsiin ja hänen poikiensa käsiin, että toimitettaisiin niiden heilutus Herran edessä.

25 Ota ne sitten heidän käsistään ja polta alttarilla, polttouhrin päällä, suloiseksi tuoksuksi Herran edessä. Se on Herran uhri.

26 Ja ota rintaliha Aaronin vihkiäisoinaasta ja toimituta sen heilutus Herran edessä; ja se olkoon sinun osasi.

27 Näin sinun on pyhitettävä heilutettu rintaliha ja anniksi annettu reisi, se, mitä on heilutettu ja anniksi annettu Aaronin ja hänen poikiensa vihkiäisoinaasta.

28 Ja ne olkoot Aaronin ja hänen poikiensa ikuinen osuus, israelilaisilta saatu, sillä se on anti. Se olkoon israelilaisten anti heidän yhteysuhreistaan, heidän antinsa Herralle.

29 Aaronin pyhät vaatteet tulkoot hänen pojillensa hänen jälkeensä, että heidät niissä voideltaisiin ja vihittäisiin virkaansa.

30 Seitsemänä päivänä on sen hänen pojistaan, joka tulee papiksi hänen sijaansa, puettava ne ylleen, kun hän menee ilmestysmajaan toimittamaan virkaansa pyhäkössä.

31 Ja ota vihkiäisoinas ja keitä sen liha pyhässä paikassa.

32 Ja Aaron poikinensa syököön ilmestysmajan ovella oinaan lihan ynnä leivän, joka on korissa.

33 He syökööt sen, mitä käytettiin heidän sovittamisekseen, kun heidät vihittiin virkaansa ja pyhitettiin, mutta syrjäinen älköön sitä syökö, sillä se on pyhää.

34 Jos jotakin jää tähteeksi vihkiäislihasta tai leivästä seuraavaan aamuun, polta tähteeksi jäänyt tulessa; älköön sitä syötäkö, sillä se on pyhää.

35 Tee näin Aaronille ja hänen pojillensa, aivan niinkuin minä olen sinua käskenyt. Seitsemän päivää kestäköön heidän vihkimisensä.

36 Ja uhraa joka päivä syntiuhrimullikka sovitukseksi, ja puhdista alttari toimittamalla sen sovitus ja voitele se pyhittääksesi sen.

37 Seitsemänä päivänä toimita alttarin sovitus ja pyhitä se. Näin tulee alttarista korkeasti-pyhä; jokainen, joka alttariin koskee, on pyhäkölle pyhitetty.

38 Ja uhraa alttarilla tämä: kaksi vuodenvanhaa karitsaa joka päivä, ainiaan.

39 Uhraa toinen karitsa aamulla ja toinen karitsa iltahämärässä,

40 ja kumpaakin karitsaa kohti kymmenennes lestyjä jauhoja, sekoitettuna neljännekseen hiin-mittaa survomalla saatua öljyä, ja juomauhriksi neljännes hiin-mittaa viiniä.

41 Ja uhraa toinen karitsa iltahämärässä; uhrattakoon se toimittamalla samankaltainen ruokauhri ja juomauhri kuin aamullakin, suloisesti tuoksuvaksi uhriksi Herralle.

42 Tämä olkoon teillä jokapäiväinen polttouhri sukupolvesta sukupolveen ilmestysmajan ovella Herran edessä, jossa minä ilmestyn teille puhuakseni sinun kanssasi.

43 Siinä minä ilmestyn israelilaisille, ja se on oleva minun kirkkauteni pyhittämä.

44 Ja minä pyhitän ilmestysmajan ja alttarin; ja minä pyhitän Aaronin poikinensa pappeina palvelemaan minua.

45 Ja minä asun israelilaisten keskellä ja olen heidän Jumalansa.

46 Ja he tulevat tietämään, että minä olen Herra, heidän Jumalansa, joka vein heidät pois Egyptin maasta, asuakseni heidän keskellään. Minä olen Herra, heidän Jumalansa."

10023. 'And Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the young bull' means a representative sign of the reception of goodness and truth in the natural or external man. This is clear from the meaning of 'laying hands on' as transmitting what is one's own to another, the reason why reception too is meant being that what is transmitted is received by another; from the meaning of 'the head' as the whole, dealt with in 10011; and from the meaning of 'the young bull' as the good of innocence and charity in the external or natural man, dealt with in 9391, 10021. The reason why 'laying the hand on' means transmission and reception is that by 'the hands' is meant power and since this power is the capacity to act, whatever resides with a person, thus the entire person engaged in action, is also meant by 'the hands', see the places referred to in 10019; and by 'laying on' is meant transmission on the part of the one who lays them on and reception on the part of the person on whom or thing on which they are laid. From this it is evident what 'laying the hand on' meant among the ancients, namely the transmission and transference of whatever thing it was that they had in mind, and also the reception of it by another, whether it was power, obedience, blessing, or testimony.

[2] The fact that 'laying the hand on' meant power is clear from the following places in Moses,

Jehovah told Moses to lay his hand on Joshua and to set him before Eleazar the priest in front of the whole congregation, and thereby place some of his glory on him, that all the congregation might be obedient to him. Numbers 27:18-20.

'Laying his hand on' here, it is evident, means a transmission and transference of power that Moses had, and the reception of it by Joshua. Therefore it says that he would thereby put some of his glory on him.

[3] In the same author,

It was commanded, when the Levites were to be purified and the priestly function under Aaron was to be assigned to them, that two young bulls together with a minchah should be brought forward, and that Aaron should bring the Levites before Jehovah. And the children of Israel were to lay their hands on the Levites, and the Levites were to lay their hands on the heads of the young bulls, one of which was to be offered as a sacrifice, the other as a burnt offering. And in this way were they to separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, and the Levites would be Jehovah's. Numbers 8:7-14.

The laying of hands on the Levites by the children of Israel was a sign of the transference of power to the Levites to minister on their behalf, and a sign of the reception of that power by the Levites, thus a sign of the separation of the Levites. And the laying of hands on the heads of the young bulls by the Levites was a sign of the transference of that power to Jehovah, that is, the Lord. This is why it says that in that way were they to be separated from among the children of Israel and were to be Jehovah's.

[4] In the same author,

After the children of Israel had confessed their sins Aaron was to lay both his hands on the head of the live he-goat Asasel, and he was to confess over it all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their sins; and he was to put them on the goat's head, and send it into the wilderness. Leviticus 16:21.

Laying hands on the he-goat, it is self-evident, meant the transmission and transference of all the iniquities and sins of the children of Israel onto that goat, and its reception of them, 'the wilderness' into which the goat was sent being hell. Leviticus 24:14 required that the witnesses and all who had heard should lay their hands on him who was to be stoned. This action was a sign that the witness borne by them had been transmitted and transferred to him, and once it was received he was delivered up to death.

[5] In the same author,

A person who brings from the herd or from the flock a burnt offering as a gift to Jehovah shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering; then it will be received with pleasure from him, to make expiation for him. Leviticus 1:2-4.

The hand had in like manner to be laid on the head of a gift offered as a sacrifice, Leviticus 3:1-2, 8, 13. A priest was required to do the same thing if he had sinned, and so were the elders, or the whole congregation, and also a leader if he had sinned; and any ordinary person 1 was required to do the same thing if he had sinned, Leviticus 4:4, 15, 24, 29. Laying their hands on the burnt offering or on the sacrifice was a sign of all the worship of the one presenting the offering. That is to say, it was a sign of the acknowledgement of sins, confession, and consequent purification, and a sign of the implantation of goodness and truth, thus of being joined to the Lord, all of which was brought about by transmission, transference, and reception. By transference and reception that which is meant by 'bearing iniquities', dealt with in 9937, 9938, should be understood.

[6] Since the laying-on of hands was a sign of transmission, transference, and reception, one may recognize what the laying-on of hands means in Matthew,

A ruler came to Jesus and said, My daughter has just died, but come and lay Your hand on her and she will live. Jesus went in, took her hand, and the girl arose. Matthew 9:18-19, 25.

In Mark,

Jesus laid hands on the blind man's eyes, and he was restored. Mark 8:25.

In the same gospel,

They brought a deaf man to Jesus, that He might lay His hand on him. Taking him aside from the people He put His finger into his ears and touched his tongue, and his powers of hearing were opened. Mark 7:32-33, 35.

In Luke,

There was a woman bent right over owing to a spirit of infirmity. Jesus laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight 2 . Luke 13:11, 13.

In Mark,

Jesus laid hands on the weak and healed them. Mark 6:5.

[7] In these places it is evident that when the Lord laid His hand on people, and also when He touched them, the meaning was the transmission and reception of Divine power. The fact that these things are meant is perfectly clear in Mark,

A certain woman came behind and touched Jesus' garment, saying, If I touch merely His garment I shall be healed. And immediately she was healed of the affliction. And Jesus perceived within Himself that power had gone out of Him. Mark 5:27-30.

In Luke,

The woman, touching Jesus' garment, was healed. Jesus said, Someone touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me. Luke 8:44, 46.

And in the same gospel,

The entire crowd sought to touch Jesus, because power went out from Him and healed them all. Luke 6:19.

[8] From this it is evident what 'touching with the hand' and 'touching with the finger' mean, and also what the following words in the same gospel mean,

Jesus came and touched the coffin in which the dead man was; and the bearers stood still. Then He said, Young man, I say to you, Arise. And the dead man sat up and began to speak. Luke 7:14-15.

It is also evident what laying His hands on children and young children means. Laying them on children is described in Matthew,

Children were brought to Jesus that He might lay His hands on them. Jesus said, Let the children be and do not forbid them to come to Me; of such is the kingdom of heaven. And He laid His hands on them. Matthew 19:13-15.

And laying His hands on young children is spoken of in Mark,

Jesus took the young children up in His arms, and put His hands on them, and blessed them. Mark 10:16.

This laying of His hand on children and on young children likewise means the transmission and reception of Divine power, enabling a person's interiors to be healed, which is salvation.

[9] The meaning of touch by the use of the hands has its origin in representatives in the next life. People there whose states of life are dissimilar appear far removed from one another, whereas those whose states of life are similar appear living in association with one another; and those who touch one another there transmit their state of life to another. If this is done by the use of the hands the whole of their life is transmitted, for as stated above, by the hands, by virtue of their correspondence, is meant power, which is a human being's capacity to act, thus whatever resides with a person. Such representatives occur in the world of spirits, but they do so as a result of influx from heaven, where only the ties associating people as to affections for goodness and truth are perceived.

11 You shall kill the bull before Yahweh, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

12 You shall take of the blood of the bull, and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger; and you shall pour out all the blood at the base of the altar.

13 You shall take all the fat that covers the innards, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and burn them on the altar.

14 But the flesh of the bull, and its skin, and its dung, you shall burn with fire outside of the camp: it is a sin offering.

15 "You shall also take the one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.

16 You shall kill the ram, and you shall take its blood, and sprinkle it around on the altar.

17 You shall cut the ram into its pieces, and wash its innards, and its legs, and put them with its pieces, and with its head.

18 You shall burn the whole ram on the altar: it is a burnt offering to Yahweh; it is a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

19 "You shall take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.

20 Then you shall kill the ram, and take some of its blood, and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and on the tip of the right ear of his sons, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the big toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood around on the altar.

21 You shall take of the blood that is on the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron, and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be made holy, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.

22 Also you shall take some of the ram's fat, the fat tail, the fat that covers the innards, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys, the fat that is on them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram of consecration),

23 and one loaf of bread, one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before Yahweh.

24 You shall put all of this in Aaron's hands, and in his sons' hands, and shall wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh.

25 You shall take them from their hands, and burn them on the altar on the burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma before Yahweh: it is an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

26 "You shall take the breast of Aaron's ram of consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before Yahweh: and it shall be your portion.

27 You shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the thigh of the wave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons:

28 and it shall be for Aaron and his sons as their portion forever from the children of Israel; for it is a wave offering: and it shall be a wave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, even their wave offering to Yahweh.

29 "The holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him, to be anointed in them, and to be consecrated in them.

30 Seven days shall the son who is priest in his place put them on, when he comes into the Tent of Meeting to minister in the holy place.

31 "You shall take the ram of consecration, and boil its flesh in a holy place.

32 Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

33 They shall eat those things with which atonement was made, to consecrate and sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat of it, because they are holy.

34 If anything of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread, remains to the morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.

35 "You shall do so to Aaron, and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded you. You shall consecrate them seven days.

36 Every day you shall offer the bull of sin offering for atonement: and you shall cleanse the altar, when you make atonement for it; and you shall anoint it, to sanctify it.
