3 Mose 16

Studie

   

1 Und Jehova redete zu Mose nach dem Tode der beiden Söhne Aarons, als sie vor Jehova nahten und starben;

2 und Jehova sprach zu Mose: Rede zu deinem Bruder Aaron, daß er nicht zu aller Zeit in das Heiligtum hineingehe innerhalb des Vorhangs, vor den Deckel, der auf der Lade ist, damit er nicht sterbe; denn ich erscheine in der Wolke über dem Deckel.

3 Auf diese Weise soll Aaron in das Heiligtum hineingehen: mit einem jungen Farren zum Sündopfer und einem Widder zum Brandopfer.

4 Er soll einen heiligen Leibrock von Linnen anziehen, und Beinkleider von Linnen sollen auf seinem Fleische sein, und mit einem Gürtel von Linnen soll er sich umgürten, und einen Kopfbund von Linnen sich umbinden: das sind heilige Kleider; und er soll sein Fleisch im Wasser baden und sie anziehen.

5 Und von der Gemeinde der Kinder Israel soll er zwei Ziegenböcke nehmen zum Sündopfer und einen Widder zum Brandopfer.

6 Und Aaron soll den Farren des Sündopfers, der für ihn ist, herzubringen und Sühnung tun für sich und für sein Haus.

7 Und er soll die zwei Böcke nehmen und sie vor Jehova stellen an den Eingang des Zeltes der Zusammenkunft.

8 Und Aaron soll Lose werfen über die zwei Böcke, ein Los für Jehova und ein Los für Asasel.

9 Und Aaron soll den Bock herzubringen, auf welchen das Los für Jehova gefallen ist, und ihn opfern als Sündopfer.

10 Und der Bock, auf welchen das Los für Asasel gefallen ist, soll lebendig vor Jehova gestellt werden, um auf ihm Sühnung zu tun, um ihn als Asasel fortzuschicken in die Wüste.

11 Und Aaron bringe den Farren des Sündopfers, der für ihn ist, herzu und tue Sühnung für sich und für sein Haus, und schlachte den Farren des Sündopfers, der für ihn ist.

12 Und er nehme eine Pfanne voll Feuerkohlen von dem Altar, vor Jehova, und seine beiden Hände voll wohlriechenden, kleingestoßenen Räucherwerks, und bringe es innerhalb des Vorhangs.

13 Und er lege das Räucherwerk auf das Feuer vor Jehova, damit die Wolke des Räucherwerks den Deckel bedecke, der auf dem Zeugnis ist, und er nicht sterbe.

14 Und er nehme von dem Blute des Farren und sprenge mit seinem Finger auf die Vorderseite des Deckels gegen Osten; und vor den Deckel soll er von dem Blute siebenmal sprengen mit seinem Finger.

15 Und er schlachte den Bock des Sündopfers, der für das Volk ist, und bringe sein Blut innerhalb des Vorhangs, und tue mit seinem Blute, so wie er mit dem Blute des Farren getan hat, und sprenge es auf den Deckel und vor den Deckel;

16 Und er tue Sühnung für das Heiligtum wegen der Unreinigkeiten der Kinder Israel und wegen ihrer Übertretungen, nach allen ihren Sünden; und ebenso soll er für das Zelt der Zusammenkunft tun, das bei ihnen weilt, inmitten ihrer Unreinigkeiten.

17 Und kein Mensch soll in dem Zelte der Zusammenkunft sein, wenn er hineingeht, um Sühnung zu tun im Heiligtum, bis er hinausgeht. Und so tue er Sühnung für sich und für sein Haus und für die ganze Versammlung Israels.

18 Und er soll hinausgehen zu dem Altar, der vor Jehova ist, und Sühnung für ihn tun; und er nehme von dem Blute des Farren und von dem Blute des Bockes und tue es an die Hörner des Altars ringsum,

19 und sprenge von dem Blute mit seinem Finger siebenmal an denselben und reinige ihn und heilige ihn von den Unreinigkeiten der Kinder Israel.

20 Und hat er die Sühnung des Heiligtums und des Zeltes der Zusammenkunft und des Altars vollendet, so soll er den lebendigen Bock herzubringen.

21 Und Aaron lege seine beiden Hände auf den Kopf des lebendigen Bockes und bekenne auf ihn alle Ungerechtigkeiten der Kinder Israel und alle ihre Übertretungen nach allen ihren Sünden; und er lege sie auf den Kopf des Bockes und schicke ihn durch einen bereitstehenden Mann fort in die Wüste,

22 damit der Bock alle ihre Ungerechtigkeiten auf sich trage in ein ödes Land; und er schicke den Bock fort in die Wüste.

23 Und Aaron soll in das Zelt der Zusammenkunft hineingehen und die Kleider von Linnen ausziehen, die er anzog, als er in das Heiligtum hineinging, und sie dort niederlegen;

24 und er soll sein Fleisch im Wasser baden an heiligem Orte und seine Kleider anziehen; und er soll hinausgehen und sein Brandopfer und das Brandopfer des Volkes opfern und Sühnung tun für sich und für das Volk.

25 Und das Fett des Sündopfers soll er auf dem Altar räuchern.

26 Und wer den Bock als Asasel fortführt, soll seine Kleider waschen und sein Fleisch im Wasser baden; und danach darf er ins Lager kommen.

27 Und den Farren des Sündopfers und den Bock des Sündopfers, deren Blut hineingebracht worden ist, um Sühnung zu tun im Heiligtum, soll man hinausschaffen außerhalb des Lagers, und ihre Häute und ihr Fleisch und ihren Mist mit Feuer verbrennen.

28 Und der sie verbrennt, soll seine Kleider waschen und sein Fleisch im Wasser baden; und danach darf er ins Lager kommen.

29 Und dies soll euch zur ewigen Satzung sein: Im siebten Monat, am Zehnten des Monats, sollt ihr eure Seelen kasteien und keinerlei Arbeit tun, der Eingeborene und der Fremdling, der in eurer Mitte weilt;

30 denn an diesem Tage wird man Sühnung für euch tun, um euch zu reinigen: von allen euren Sünden werdet ihr rein sein vor Jehova.

31 Ein Sabbath der Ruhe soll er euch sein, und ihr sollt eure Seelen kasteien, eine ewige Satzung.

32 Und es soll Sühnung tun der Priester, den man salben und den man weihen wird, um den Priesterdienst auszuüben an seines Vaters Statt; und er soll die Kleider von Linnen anziehen, die heiligen Kleider;

33 und er soll Sühnung tun für das heilige Heiligtum und für das Zelt der Zusammenkunft, und für den Altar soll er Sühnung tun, und für die Priester und für das ganze Volk der Gemeinde soll er Sühnung tun.

34 Und das soll euch zur ewigen Satzung sein, um für die Kinder Israel Sühnung zu tun wegen aller ihrer Sünden einmal im Jahre. Und er tat, so wie Jehova dem Mose geboten hatte.

9959. And thou shalt make for them breeches of linen. That this signifies what is external of conjugial love, is evident from the signification of “breeches,” as being what is external of love (of which below); and from the signification of “linen,” as being external truth, or natural truth (of which also below). The reason why “breeches” signify what is external of conjugial love, is that garments or coverings derive their signification from that part of the body which they cover (see n. 9827), and the loins together with the genitals, which are clothed or covered by the breeches, signify conjugial love. (That “the loins” have this signification, see n. 3021, 4280, 4575; and also “the genitals,” n. 4462, 5050-5062.) What love truly conjugial is, shall be told in the following article.

[2] The reason why the breeches were made of linen, was that “linen” signifies external truth, that is, natural truth (n. 7601), and the external itself is truth. The reason why the external is truth, is that internal things cease in external ones, and rest upon these as their supports; and supports are truths. They are like the foundations on which a house is built; and therefore “the foundations of a house” signify truths of faith from good (see n. 9643). Moreover, truths are what protect goods from evils and falsities, and resist them; and all the power which good has is by means of truths (n. 9643). From this also it is that in the ultimate of heaven are those who are in truths of faith from good; and therefore also the ultimate, or outermost, with man, which is his outer skin, corresponds to those in the heavens who are in truths of faith (n. 5552-5559, 8980); but not to those who are in faith separate from good, for these are not in heaven. From all this it can now be seen why the breeches were of linen. But when Aaron was clothed in garments which were for glory and comeliness (which have been treated of in this chapter), his breeches were of linen with fine linen interwoven, as is evident from what follows, where it is said:

They made the tunics of fine linen, the work of the weaver, and the miter of fine linen, and the adornments of the tiaras of fine linen, and the breeches of linen with fine linen interwoven (Exodus 39:27-28).

But when he was clothed in the garments of holiness, Aaron’s breeches were of linen, as is evident from these words in Moses:

When Aaron shall enter into the holiness within the veil, he shall put on the linen tunic of holiness, and the linen breeches shall be put upon his flesh, and he shall gird himself with the linen belt, and he shall put on himself the linen miter; these are the garments of holiness; he shall also wash his flesh with water when he puts them on; and he shall then first offer burnt-offerings and sacrifices, by which he shall expiate the holiness from uncleanesses (Leviticus 16 (Leviticus 16:2) (Leviticus 16:23-24)).

[3] The reason why Aaron then went clothed with linen garments, which were also called “garments of holiness,” was that he then administered the office of expiating the Tent, as also the people and himself, from uncleannesses; and all expiation, which was effected by means of washings, burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, represented the purification of the heart from evils and falsities, thus regeneration; and purification from evils and falsities, or regeneration, is effected by means of the truths of faith. Therefore there were then linen garments upon Aaron, for as before said, by “the linen garments” were signified the truths of faith. (That all purification from evils and falsities is effected by means of the truths of faith, see n. 2799, 5954, 7044, 7918, 9089; thus that regeneration is so effected, n. 1555, 2046, 2063, 2979, 3332, 3665, 3690, 3786, 3876, 3877, 4096, 4097, 5893, 6247, 8635, 8638-8640, 8772, 9088, 9089, 9103)

[4] It was for the same reason that the priest put on linen clothing, and linen breeches, when he took the ashes away from the altar (Leviticus 6:10-11); and that the priests the Levites, of the sons of Zadok, were also to do the same when they should enter into the sanctuary, of which we read in Ezekiel:

The priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, shall enter into My sanctuary, and shall come near to My table, to minister to Me. When they shall enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall put on linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, when they shall enter in at the gates of the inner court inward. There shall be linen tiaras upon their heads, and linen breeches shall be upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with sweat (Ezekiel 44:15-18).

The new temple is here treated of, by which is signified the New Church; by “the priests the Levites” are signified those who are in truths from good; by “the linen garments” are signified the truths of faith by means of which purification and regeneration are effected; “not to be girded with sweat” signifies that the holy things of worship were not to be commingled with what is man’s own; for “sweat” denotes what is man’s own; and what is man’s own is nothing but evil and falsity (n. 210, 215, 694, 874-876, 987, 1047, 3812, 8480, 8941).

[5] That the breeches worn by Aaron when he was clothed in garments for glory and comeliness were of linen with fine linen interwoven ((Exodus 39:27-28) as is evident from the passage cited above, Exodus 39:27-28), was because in them Aaron represented the Lord as to Divine good in the heavens; Aaron himself the Lord as to the Divine celestial there; and his garments the Lord as to the Divine spiritual there proceeding from the Divine celestial (n. 9814); and “fine linen” denotes the Divine spiritual that proceeds from the Divine celestial (n. 5319, 9469).

Exodus 28

Studie

   

1 "Bring Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, near to you from among the children of Israel, that he may minister to me in the priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.

2 You shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty.

3 You shall speak to all who are wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron's garments to sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the priest's office.

4 These are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a coat of checker work, a turban, and a sash: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, and his sons, that he may minister to me in the priest's office.

5 They shall take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the fine linen.

6 "They shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the skillful workman.

7 It shall have two shoulder straps joined to the two ends of it, that it may be joined together.

8 The skillfully woven band, which is on it, that is on him, shall be like its work and of the same piece; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

9 You shall take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the children of Israel:

10 six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the six that remain on the other stone, in the order of their birth.

11 With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones, according to the names of the children of Israel: you shall make them to be enclosed in settings of gold.

12 You shall put the two stones on the shoulder straps of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before Yahweh on his two shoulders for a memorial.

13 You shall make settings of gold,

14 and two chains of pure gold; you shall make them like cords of braided work: and you shall put the braided chains on the settings.

15 "You shall make a breastplate of judgment, the work of the skillful workman; like the work of the ephod you shall make it; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, you shall make it.

16 It shall be square and folded double; a span shall be its length of it, and a span its breadth.

17 You shall set in it settings of stones, four rows of stones: a row of ruby, topaz, and beryl shall be the first row;

18 and the second row a turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald;

19 and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

20 and the fourth row a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be enclosed in gold in their settings.

21 The stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, everyone according to his name, they shall be for the twelve tribes.

22 You shall make on the breastplate chains like cords, of braided work of pure gold.

23 You shall make on the breastplate two rings of gold, and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

24 You shall put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.

25 The other two ends of the two braided chains you shall put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod in its forepart.

26 You shall make two rings of gold, and you shall put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its edge, which is toward the side of the ephod inward.

27 You shall make two rings of gold, and shall put them on the two shoulder straps of the ephod underneath, in its forepart, close by its coupling, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.

28 They shall bind the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate may not swing out from the ephod.

29 Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment on his heart, when he goes in to the holy place, for a memorial before Yahweh continually.

30 You shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be on Aaron's heart, when he goes in before Yahweh: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel on his heart before Yahweh continually.

31 "You shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue.

32 It shall have a hole for the head in its midst: it shall have a binding of woven work around its hole, as it were the hole of a coat of mail, that it not be torn.

33 On its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, around its hem; and bells of gold between and around them:

34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, around the hem of the robe.

35 It shall be on Aaron to minister: and its sound shall be heard when he goes in to the holy place before Yahweh, and when he comes out, that he not die.

36 "You shall make a plate of pure gold, and engrave on it, like the engravings of a signet, 'HOLY TO YAHWEH.'

37 You shall put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be on the sash; on the front of the sash it shall be.

38 It shall be on Aaron's forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall make holy in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always on his forehead, that they may be accepted before Yahweh.

39 You shall weave the coat in checker work of fine linen, and you shall make a turban of fine linen, and you shall make a sash, the work of the embroiderer.

40 "You shall make coats for Aaron's sons, and you shall make sashes for them and you shall make headbands for them, for glory and for beauty.

41 You shall put them on Aaron your brother, and on his sons with him, and shall anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.

42 You shall make them linen breeches to cover the flesh of their nakedness; from the waist even to the thighs they shall reach:

43 They shall be on Aaron, and on his sons, when they go in to the Tent of Meeting, or when they come near to the altar to minister in the holy place; that they don't bear iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute forever to him and to his descendants after him.
