1 Ja Herra puhui Moosekselle sanoen:

2 "Jos joku tekee rikkomuksen ja on uskoton Herraa kohtaan kieltämällä saaneensa lähimmäiseltään, mitä tämä on hänen haltuunsa antanut tai hänen hoitoonsa uskonut, tahi mitä hän itse on väkisin ottanut tai vääryydellä anastanut lähimmäiseltään,

3 tahi jos hän on löytänyt kadotetun esineen ja kieltää sen, tahi vannoo väärin missä asiassa tahansa, jossa ihminen helposti rikkoo,

4 niin hän, jos hän näin on rikkonut ja tullut vikapääksi, antakoon takaisin, mitä hän väkisin on ottanut tai vääryydellä anastanut, tahi mitä hänen haltuunsa oli uskottu, tahi kadotetun esineen, jonka hän oli löytänyt,

5 kaiken, jonka tähden hän oli väärin vannonut; ja korvatkoon sen täyteen määräänsä ja pankoon siihen vielä lisäksi viidennen osan sen arvosta. Sille, jonka oma se on, hän antakoon sen sinä päivänä, jona hän vikauhrinsa toimittaa.

6 Mutta hyvityksenä Herralle hän tuokoon papille vikauhriksi sinun arviosi mukaisen, virheettömän oinaan pikkukarjasta.

7 Kun pappi näin on toimittanut hänelle sovituksen Herran edessä, annetaan hänelle anteeksi kaikki, mitä hän on tehnyt sellaista, josta hän on tullut vikapääksi."

8 Ja Herra puhui Moosekselle sanoen:

9 "Käske Aaronia ja hänen poikiansa ja sano: Tämä on laki polttouhrista. Polttouhri olkoon alttarin liedellä koko yön aamuun asti, ja tulta pidettäköön siten vireillä alttarilla.

10 Ja pappi pukeutukoon pellavapukuunsa ja pukeutukoon pellavakaatioihin peittääkseen häpynsä, ja korjatkoon pois tuhan, joksi tuli on kuluttanut polttouhrin alttarilla, ja pankoon sen alttarin viereen.

11 Ja sitten hän riisukoon vaatteensa ja pukeutukoon toisiin vaatteisiin, ja vieköön tuhan leirin ulkopuolelle puhtaaseen paikkaan.

12 Ja tulta pidettäköön siten vireillä alttarilla älköönkä se koskaan sammuko; ja pappi sytyttäköön alttarilla halot joka aamu ja asettakoon sen päälle polttouhrin ja polttakoon sen päällä yhteysuhrin rasvat.

13 Tuli palakoon aina alttarilla älköönkä koskaan sammuko.

14 Ja tämä on laki ruokauhrista: Aaronin pojat tuokoot sen Herran eteen, alttarin ääreen.

15 Ja pappi erottakoon ruokauhrista kourallisen lestyjä jauhoja ja öljyä ja kaiken suitsukkeen, joka on ruokauhrin päällä, ja polttakoon alttarilla alttariuhriosan suloiseksi tuoksuksi Herralle.

16 Ja mikä siitä jää tähteeksi, sen syököön Aaron poikinensa; happamatonna se syötäköön pyhässä paikassa, ilmestysmajan esipihalla he sen syökööt.

17 Älköön sitä leivottako hapatettuna. Heidän osakseen minä olen sen uhreistani antanut; se on korkeasti-pyhää niinkuin syntiuhri ja vikauhrikin.

18 Jokainen miehenpuoli Aaronin jälkeläisistä syököön siitä. Tämä olkoon heidän ikuinen osuutensa Herran uhreista sukupolvesta sukupolveen. Jokainen, joka niihin koskee, on pyhäkölle pyhitetty."

19 Ja Herra puhui Moosekselle sanoen:

20 "Tämä olkoon Aaronin ja hänen poikiensa uhrilahja, joka heidän on tuotava Herralle voitelupäivänänsä: kymmenes osa eefa-mittaa lestyjä jauhoja jokapäiväiseksi ruokauhriksi, puolet aamulla ja puolet illalla.

21 Leivinlevyllä se valmistettakoon öljyyn leivottuna; tuo se hyvin sotkettuna ja uhraa se palasiksi paloiteltuna ruokauhrina suloiseksi tuoksuksi Herralle.

22 Ja pappi, joka hänen pojistaan on hänen sijaansa voideltu, toimittakoon sen. Se on Herran ikuinen osuus; se poltettakoon kokonaisuhrina.

23 Jokainen papin ruokauhri on kokonaisuhri; älköön sitä syötäkö."

24 Ja Herra puhui Moosekselle sanoen:

25 "Puhu Aaronille ja hänen pojillensa ja sano: Tämä on laki syntiuhrista. Siinä paikassa, missä polttouhri teurastetaan, teurastettakoon myös syntiuhri Herran edessä; ja se on korkeasti-pyhä.

26 Pappi, joka syntiuhrin uhraa, syököön sen; pyhässä paikassa se syötäköön, ilmestysmajan esipihalla.

27 Jokainen, joka sen lihaan koskee, on pyhäkölle pyhitetty, ja jos sen verta on pirskunut vaatteille, niin pese pyhässä paikassa se, mihin sitä on pirskunut.

28 Ja saviastia, jossa se keitetään, rikottakoon; jos se on keitetty vaskiastiassa, hangattakoon astia puhtaaksi ja huuhdottakoon vedellä.

29 Jokainen miehenpuoli papeista saakoon sitä syödä; se on korkeasti-pyhää.

30 Mutta mitään syntiuhria, jonka verta viedään ilmestysmajaan sovituksen toimittamista varten pyhäkössä, älköön syötäkö, vaan se poltettakoon tulessa."

496. Verse 5. And the angel took the censer and filled it from the fire of the altar, signifies the conjunction of celestial love and spiritual love. This is evident from the signification of a "censer," as being spiritual good (of which above, n. 491, and therefore also spiritual love, since all good is of love; also from the signification of "the fire of the altar," as being celestial love, for "fire" signifies in the Word love in both senses, namely, celestial love and infernal love. "The fire of the altar" signifies celestial love, because the altar of burnt-offering, upon which was the fire, was the chief representative of the worship of the Lord from that love (See above, n. 490); and because this love of the Lord is perpetual, therefore it was appointed that a fire should burn continually upon the altar, and that they should take of that fire in the censers for burning incense, which was done to represent the conjunction of celestial love with spiritual love.

[2] That a fire should burn continually upon the altar is evident from Moses:

And the fire upon the altar shall be kept burning, and shall not be put out; and the priest shall kindle wood on it every morning, and shall arrange on it the burnt-offering and he shall burn on it the fats of the peace-offerings. The fire shall be kept burning continually upon the altar, it shall not be quenched (Leviticus 6:12, 13).

This represented that the Lord's Divine love is unceasing and eternal.

[3] That they should take from the fire of the altar in the censers for burning incense see also in Moses:

Aaron shall take burning coals of fire from off the altar before Jehovah in a censer; and he shall put the incense upon the fire before Jehovah (Leviticus 16:12, 13).

And that Aaron took fire from off the altar, and put incense on it, by which expiation was made for the people (Numbers 16:46, 47).

This represented that all propitiation and expiation were from the Lord's Divine love, as also that everything that has that love in it is heard and received by the Lord; and the rising of the smoke of the incense represented also hearing and reception.

[4] And because Korah, Dathan, and Abiram and their company, took fire from the altar and burned incense, and thence their censers were sanctified:

It was commanded that after they had been swallowed up by the earth, their censers, which were of brass, should be gathered up, and the fire be scattered yonder, and the censers be beaten into plates for covering the altar (Numbers 16:36-39).

This also represented the holiness of the Lord's Divine love. And as incense-offerings were holy from the fire of the altar, so incense-offerings with strange fire were profane, therefore:

Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, were consumed by fire from heaven, because they offered incense with strange fire (Leviticus 10:1, 2).

Incense offering from strange fire represented worship from love other than Divine, and worship from any other love is profane.

[5] These passages have been cited to make known that "the fire of the altar" signifies the Lord's Divine love, which love in heaven is called Divine celestial love and Divine spiritual love; Divine celestial love is in the Lord's celestial kingdom, and Divine spiritual love is in the Lord's spiritual kingdom. For there are two kingdoms, into which all the heavens are divided, the celestial kingdom and the spiritual kingdom; Divine celestial love constitutes the celestial kingdom, and Divine spiritual love the spiritual kingdom. (That all the heavens are divided into these two kingdoms, see in the work on Heaven and Hell n.20-28; and that these two loves constitute these two kingdoms, or all the heavens, n. 13-19.) But it must be noted that the Lord's Divine love in the heavens is called celestial and spiritual from its reception by the angels, and not from its being divided in itself; also that spiritual love springs from celestial love as an effect from its effecting cause, and as truth from good; for the good of spiritual love is in its essence the truth of the good of celestial love. For this reason these two kingdoms are conjoined with each other and are one in the Lord's sight. But this has been said for those who love to search into interior things. That "fire" signifies love in both senses will be seen confirmed from the Word in what follows.

Apocalypse Explained # 490

490. Verse 3. And another angel came and stood at the altar, signifies the conjunction of heaven with the Lord through celestial good. This is evident from the signification of an "angel," as being heaven (of which presently); also from the signification of "altar," as being the good of love to the Lord (of which also presently). An "angel" signifies the angelic heaven because the things seen by John were representative; and as heaven could not be presented to his view, therefore instead of the heavens angels were seen; as also above, "seven angels who stood before God" (n. 488); so also "four and twenty elders and four animals" which represented the heavens above, n. 313, 332, 362, 462); so here, "the angel who stood at the altar." The angels seen by John represented heaven, because the whole heaven before the Lord is as one angel-man, likewise each society of heaven; also because the angel derives his angelic form, which is the human form, from the universal heaven. (Respecting this see in the work on Heaven and Hell 51-58, 59-67, 68-72, 73-77, 78-86, where this arcanum is fully unfolded.) For this reason when an angel appears representatively, he represents either the society of heaven from which he is, or many societies together, or the universal heaven in respect to that in heaven and the church that is treated of. That "angels" in the Word signify entire societies in heaven, and also the whole heaven, may be seen above (n. 90, 302, 307). This angel "who stood at the altar" signifies the inmost or third heaven, because the "altar" signifies the good of love to the Lord, and all who are in the inmost or third heaven are in that good.

[2] An altar was seen in heaven not because any altar exists there such as the Israelitish nation had; but as that altar is frequently mentioned in the Word, and it signifies the good of love to the Lord and worship from that good, so an altar was seen by John, by whom the Word was also written, in order that the Word may be everywhere consistent with itself. For a similar reason he saw a golden altar, which was for the offering of incense, also a censer and incense, which are also presently mentioned; as also the ark of the Covenant (chap. Revelation 11:19). For many representatives appear in heaven to those who stand below, which nevertheless do not actually exist there, but are only representative forms of such things as the angels there are thinking from the influx of the Lord; consequently they are all significative of Divine things; as for instance, animals appeared which were cherubim, also a book sealed with seven seals, and at the opening of the first four seals there went forth horses, besides other like things mentioned elsewhere. So here also an altar, a censer, and incense appeared, which were exhibited before John's sight because these are mentioned in the Word and there signify things Divine, and because the Word in Revelation was to be written by means of similar things. There were two altars in use with the Israelitish nation, one called "the altar of burnt-offering," the other "the altar of incense," and because this one was overlaid with gold it was called "the golden altar." The altar of burnt-offering was a representative of the Lord and of the worship of Him from celestial good; and the altar of incense was a representative of the Lord and of the worship of Him from spiritual good. Celestial good is the good of love to the Lord, and spiritual good is the good of charity towards the neighbor. But what altars represented and signified in general and in particular, may be seen above n. 391.
