3 Mose 8

Studie

   

1 Und der HERR redete mit Mose und sprach:

2 Nimm Aaron und seine Söhne mit ihm samt ihren Kleidern und das Salböl und einen Farren zum Sündopfer, zween Widder und einen Korb mit ungesäuertem Brot.

3 Und versammLE die ganze Gemeine vor die Tür der Hütte des Stifts.

4 Mose tat, wie ihm der HERR gebot, und versammelte die Gemeine vor die Tür der Hütte des Stifts

5 und sprach zu ihnen: Das ist's, das der HERR geboten hat zu tun.

6 Und nahm Aaron und seine Söhne und wusch sie mit Wasser.

7 Und legte ihm den leinenen Rock an und gürtete ihn mit dem Gürtel und zog ihm den Seidenrock an und tat ihm den Leibrock an und gürtete ihn über den Leibrock her.

8 Und tat ihm das Schildlein an und in das Schildlein Licht und Recht.

9 Und setzte ihm den Hut auf sein Haupt und setzte an den Hut, oben an seiner Stirn, das güldene Blatt der heiligen Krone, wie der HERR Mose geboten hatte.

10 Und Mose nahm das Salböl und salbete die Wohnung und alles, was drinnen war, und weihete es.

11 Und sprengete damit siebenmal auf den Altar und salbete den Altar mit alLE seinem Geräte, das Handfaß mit seinem Fuß, daß es geweihet würde.

12 Und goß des Salböles auf Aarons Haupt und salbete ihn, daß er geweihet würde.

13 Und brachte herzu Aarons Söhne und zog ihnen leinene Röcke an und gürtete sie mit dem Gürtel und band ihnen Hauben auf, wie ihm der HERR geboten hatte.

14 Und ließ herzuführen einen Farren zum Sündopfer. Und Aaron mit seinen Söhnen legten ihre Hände auf sein Haupt.

15 Da schlachtete man es. Und Mose nahm des Bluts und tat's auf die Hörner des Altars umher mit seinem Finger und entsündigte den Altar; und goß das Blut an des Altars Boden und weihete ihn, daß er ihn versöhnete.

16 Und nahm alles Fett am Eingeweide, das Netz über der Leber und die zwo Nieren mit dem Fett daran und zündete es an auf dem Altar.

17 Aber den Farren mit seinem Fell, Fleisch und Mist verbrannte er mit Feuer außer dem Lager, wie ihm der HERR geboten hatte.

18 Und brachte herzu einen Widder zum Brandopfer. Und Aaron mit seinen Söhnen legten ihre Hände auf sein Haupt.

19 Da schlachtete man ihn. Und Mose sprengete des Bluts auf den Altar umher,

20 zerhieb den Widder in Stücke und zündete an das Haupt, die Stücke und den Stumpf.

21 Und wusch die Eingeweide und Schenkel mit Wasser und zündete also den ganzen Widder an auf dem Altar. Das war ein Brandopfer zum süßen Geruch, ein Feuer dem HERRN, wie ihm der HERR geboten hatte.

22 Er brachte auch herzu den andern Widder des Füllopfers. Und Aaron mit seinen Söhnen legten ihre Hände auf sein Haupt.

23 Da schlachtete man ihn. Und Mose nahm seines Bluts und tat's Aaron auf den Knorpel seines rechten Ohrs und auf den Daumen seiner rechten Hand und auf den großen Zehen seines rechten Fußes.

24 Und brachte herzu Aarons Söhne; und tat des Bluts auf den Knorpel ihres rechten Ohrs und auf den Daumen ihrer rechten Hand und auf den großen Zehen ihres rechten Fußes; und sprengete das Blut auf den Altar umher.

25 Und nahm das Fett und den Schwanz und alles Fett am Eingeweide und das Netz über der Leber, die zwo Nieren mit dem Fett daran und die rechte Schulter.

26 Dazu nahm er von dem Korbe des ungesäuerten Brots vor dem HERRN einen ungesäuerten Kuchen und einen Kuchen geölten Brots und einen Fladen; und legte es auf das Fett und auf die rechte Schulter.

27 Und gab das allesamt auf die Hände Aarons und seiner Söhne und webete es zur Webe vor dem HERRN.

28 Und nahm's alles wieder von ihren Händen und zündete es an auf dem Altar, oben auf dem Brandopfer; denn es ist ein Füllopfer zum süßen Geruch, ein Feuer dem HERRN.

29 Und Mose nahm die Brust und webete eine Webe vor dem HERRN von dem Widder des Füllopfers. Die ward Mose zu einem Teil, wie ihm der HERR geboten hatte.

30 Und Mose nahm des Salböles und des Bluts auf dem Altar und sprengete auf Aaron und seine Kleider, auf seine Söhne und auf ihre Kleider; und weihete also Aaron und seine Kleider, seine Söhne und ihre Kleider mit ihm.

31 Und sprach zu Aaron und seinen Söhnen: Kochet das Fleisch vor der Tür der Hütte des Stifts und esset es daselbst, dazu, auch das Brot im Korbe des Füllopfers, wie mir geboten ist und gesagt, daß Aaron und seine Söhne sollen's essen.

32 Was aber überbleibt vom Fleisch und Brot, das sollt ihr mit Feuer verbrennen.

33 Und sollt in sieben Tagen nicht ausgehen von der Tür der Hütte des Stifts bis an den Tag, da die Tage eures Füllopfers aus sind; denn sieben Tage sind eure Hände gefüllet,

34 wie es an diesem Tage geschehen ist. Der HERR hat's geboten zu tun, auf daß ihr versöhnet seiet.

35 Und sollt vor der Tür der Hütte des Stifts Tag und Nacht bleiben, sieben Tage lang, und sollt auf die Hut des HERRN warten, daß ihr nicht sterbet; denn also ist mir's geboten.

36 Und Aaron mit seinen Söhnen taten alles, was der HERR geboten hatte durch Mose.

9229. And ye shall be men of holiness to Me. That this signifies the state of life then from good, is evident from the signification of “men of holiness,” as being those who are led by the Lord; for the Divine which proceeds from the Lord is holiness itself (see n. 6788, 7499, 8127, 8302, 8806), consequently those who receive it in faith and also in love are called “holy.” He who believes that a man is holy from any other source, and that anything else with him is holy than that which is from the Lord and is received, is very much mistaken. For that which is of man and is called his own, is evil. (That man’s own is nothing but evil, see n. 210, 215, 694, 874-876, 987, 1047, 4328, 5660, 5786, 8480, 8944; and that insofar as a man can be withheld from his own, so far the Lord can he present, thus that so far the man has holiness, n. 1023, 1044, 1581, 2256, 2388, 2406, 2411, 8206, 8393, 8988, 9014)

[2] That the Lord alone is holy, and that that alone is holy which proceeds from the Lord, thus that which man receives from the Lord, is plain from the Word throughout; as in John:

I sanctify Myself that they also may be sanctified in the truth (John 17:19);

“to sanctify Himself” denotes to make Himself Divine by His own power; and those are said to be “sanctified in the truth” who in faith and life receive the Divine truth proceeding from Him.

[3] Therefore also the Lord after His resurrection, speaking with the disciples, “breathed on them” and said unto them, “Receive ye the Holy Spirit” (John 20:22); the breathing upon them was representative of making them alive by faith and love, as also in the second chapter of Genesis: “Jehovah breathed into his nostrils the breath of lives, and man became a living soul” (verse 7); in like manner in other passages (Psalms 33:6; 104:29-30; Job 32:8; 33:4; John 3:8). From this also the Word is said to be inspired, because it is from the Lord, and they who wrote the Word are said to have been inspired. (That breathing, and thus inspiration, corresponds to the life of faith, see n. 97, 1119, 1120, 3883-3896.) From this it is that in the Word “spirit” is so called from “wind” or “breath,” and that what is holy from the Lord is called “the wind or breath of Jehovah” (n. 8286); also that the Holy Spirit is the holy proceeding from the the Lord, (n. 3704, 4673, 5307, 6788, 6982, 6993, 8127, 8302, 9199).

[4] So also it is said in John that the Lord “baptizeth with the Holy Spirit” (John 1:33); and in Luke that “He baptizeth with the Holy Spirit and with fire” (John 3:16). In the internal sense “to baptize” signifies to regenerate (n. 4255, 5120, 9088); “to baptize with the Holy Spirit and with fire” signifies to regenerate by the good of love. (That “fire” denotes the good of love, see n. 934, 4906, 5215, 6314, 6832, 6834, 6849, 7324) In John:

Who shall not fear Thee, O Lord, and glorify Thy name? For Thou only art holy (Revelation 15:4).

In Luke it is said by the angel concerning the Lord: “The holy thing that shall be born of thee” (Luke 1:35); and in Daniel, “I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold a watcher and a holy one came down from heaven” (Daniel 4:13). In these passages “the holy thing” and “the holy one” denote the Lord.

[5] As the Lord alone is holy, He is called in the Old Testament the “Holy One of Israel,” the “Redeemer,” the “Preserver,” the “Regenerator” (Isaiah 1:4; 5:19, 24; 10:20; 12:6; 17:7; 29:19; 30:11-12, 15; 31:1; 37:23 41:14, 16, 20; 43:3, 14; 45:11; 47:4; 48:17; 49:7; 5 4:5; 55:5; 60:9, 14; Jeremiah 50:29; 51:5; Ezekiel 39:7; Psalms 71:22; 78:41; 89:18). And therefore the Lord in heaven, and consequently heaven itself, is called “the habitation of holiness” (Jeremiah 31:23; Isaiah 63:15; Jeremiah 25:30); also a “sanctuary” (Ezekiel 11:16; 24:21); and “the mountain of holiness” (Psalms 48:1). For the same reason the middle of the tent, where was the ark containing the Law, was called the “Holy of Holies (Exodus 26:33-34); for by the Law in the ark in the middle of the tent was represented the Lord as to the Word, because “the Law” denotes the Word (n. 6752, 7463).

[6] All this shows why the angels are called “holy” (Matthew 25:31; Mark 8:38; Luke 9:26; Psalms 149:1; Daniel 8:13); also the prophets (Luke 1:70); and likewise the apostles (Revelation 18:20); not that they are holy from themselves, but from the Lord, who alone is holy, and from whom alone proceeds what is holy; for by “angels” are signified truths, because they are receptions of truth from the the Lord, (n. 1925, 4085, 4295, 4402, 7268, 7873, 8192, 8301); by “prophets” is signified the doctrine of truth which comes through the Word from the the Lord, (n. 2534, 7269); and by “apostles” are signified in their complex all the truths and goods of faith which are from the the Lord, (n. 3488, 3858, 6397).

[7] The sanctifications among the Israelitish and Jewish people were for the purpose of representing the Lord who alone is holy, and the holiness which is from Him alone. This was the purpose of the sanctification of Aaron and his sons (Exodus 29:1, etc.; Leviticus 8:10-11, 13, 30); of the sanctification of their garments (Exodus 29:21, etc.); of the sanctification of the altar, that it might be a holy of holies (Exodus 29:37, etc.); of the sanctification of the tent of the assembly, of the ark of the testimony, of the table, of all the vessels, of the altar of incense, of the altar of burnt-offering, and of the vessels thereof, and of the laver and the base thereof (Exodus 30:26, etc.).

[8] That the Lord is the holiness itself that was represented, is also plain from His words in Matthew, as viewed in the internal sense:

Ye fools and blind! Whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? And whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? (Matthew 23:17, 19);

by the temple was represented the Lord Himself, and also by the altar; and by the “gold” was signified the good which is from the Lord; and by the “gift” or sacrifice, were signified the things that belong to faith and charity from the Lord. (That the Lord was represented by the temple, see n. 2777, 3720; also that He was represented by the altar, n. 2777, 2811, 4489, 8935, 8940 and that by “gold” was signified good from the Lord, n. 1551, 1552, 5658; and by a “sacrifice” worship from the faith and charity which are from the Lord, n. 922, 923, 2805, 2807, 2830, 6905, 8680, 8682, 8936)

[9] In view of all this it is evident why the sons of Israel were called a “holy people” (Deuteronomy 26:19, and elsewhere); and in the words before us “men of holiness;” namely, from the fact that in every detail of their worship were represented the Divine things of the Lord, and the celestial and spiritual things of His kingdom and church. They were therefore called “holy” in a representative sense. They themselves were not holy on this account, because the representatives had regard to the holy things that were represented, and not to the person who represented them (n. 665, 1097, 1361, 3147, 3881, 4208, 4281, 4288, 4292, 4307, 4444, 4500, 6304, 7048, 7439, 8588, 8788, 8806).

[10] Hence also it is that Jerusalem was called “holy;” and Zion, “the mountain of holiness” (Zech. 8:3, and elsewhere). Also in Matthew:

And the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that were dead were raised; and coming forth out of their tombs after the Lord’s resurrection, they entered into the holy city, and appeared unto many (Matthew 27:52-53);

Jerusalem is here called “the holy city,” although it was rather profane than holy, for the Lord had then been crucified in it, and it is therefore called “Sodom and Egypt” in John:

Their bodies shall lie on the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified (Revelation 11:8).

But it is called “holy” from the fact that it signifies the Lord’s kingdom and church (n. 402, 2117, 3654). The “saints that were dead” appearing there, which happened to some in vision, signified the salvation of those who were of the spiritual church, and the elevation into the Holy Jerusalem, which is heaven, of those who until that time had been detained in the lower earth (of which above, n. 6854, 6914, 7090, 7828, 7932, 8049, 8054, 8159, 8321).

1925. The Angel of Jehovah found her. That this signifies the thought of the interior man, namely, in the Lord, may be seen from the representation and signification of “the Angel of Jehovah.” “The Angel of Jehovah” is occasionally mentioned in the Word, and everywhere, when in a good sense, represents and signifies some essential in the Lord and from the Lord; but what he represents and signifies may be seen from the connection. They were angels who were sent to men, and who spoke through the prophets; yet what they spoke was not from the angels, but through them, for the state of the latter was then such that they knew not but that they were Jehovah, that is, the Lord; but as soon as they had done speaking, they returned into their former state, and spoke as from themselves.

[2] This was the case with the angels who spoke the Word of the Lord, as has been given me to know from much similar experience in the other life, concerning which, of the Lord’s Divine mercy hereafter. This is the reason why the angels were sometimes called “Jehovah;” as is very evident from the angel who appeared to Moses in the bush, of whom it is written:

And the Angel of Jehovah appeared unto Moses in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. Jehovah saw that he turned aside to see, and God called unto him out of the midst of the bush. God said unto Moses, I am that I am. And God said moreover to Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the sons of Israel, Jehovah, the God of your fathers hath sent me unto you (Exodus 3:2, 4, 11, 15).

from which it is evident that it was an angel who appeared to Moses as a flame in the bush, and that he spoke as Jehovah because the Lord or Jehovah spoke through him.

[3] For in order that the speaking may come to man by words of articulate sound and in ultimate nature, the Lord makes use of the ministry of angels, filling them with the Divine, and lulling the things which are their own; so that at the time they do not know but that they themselves are Jehovah. In this way the Divine of Jehovah, which is in the highest things, passes down into the lowest of nature, in which lowest is man in respect to sight and hearing. So it was with the angel who spoke to Gideon, of whom it is thus said in the book of Judges:

The Angel of Jehovah appeared unto Gideon, and said unto him, Jehovah is with thee, thou mighty man of strength. And Gideon said unto him, In me, my Lord; why then is all this befallen us? And Jehovah looked upon him, and said, Go in thy might; and Jehovah said unto him, Surely I will be with thee (Judg. 6:12, 14, 16);

and it is afterwards said:

And Gideon saw that he was the Angel of Jehovah, and Gideon said, Ah, Lord Jehovah, forasmuch as I have seen the Angel of Jehovah face to face. And Jehovah said unto him, peace be unto thee; fear not (Judg. 6:22-23).

In this case also it was an angel, but he was then in such a state that he did not know otherwise than that he was Jehovah or the Lord.

[4] So in another place in the book of Judges:

The Angel of Jehovah went up from Gilgal to Bochim, and he said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you into the land which I sware unto your fathers, and I said, I will not make void My covenant with you to eternity (Judg. 2:1); where in like manner an angel speaks in the name of Jehovah, saying that he had led them up out of the land of Egypt, when yet the angel did not lead them out, but Jehovah, as is declared many times elsewhere. From all this we may see how angels spoke through the prophets, namely, that Jehovah Himself spoke, but through angels, and the angels spoke nothing from themselves. That the Word is from the Lord, is evident from many passages, as in Matthew:

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son (Matthew 1:22-23),

besides other passages. As when the Lord speaks with men He speaks through angels, therefore sometimes in the Word the Lord is also called an “Angel,” and then by “Angel,” as already said, there is signified some essential thing in the Lord and from the Lord; as, in the present case, the Lord’s interior thought; and therefore also the angel is called in this chapter “Jehovah” and also “God,” as in verse 13: “and Hagar called the name of Jehovah that was speaking unto her, Thou God seest me.”

[5] In other places likewise some special attribute of the Lord is signified by “angels.” As in John:

The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches (Revelation 1:20).

There are no angels of churches, but by the “angels” is signified that which is of the church, thus that which is of the Lord in respect to the churches. And again:

I saw the wall of the Holy Jerusalem great and high, having twelve gates, and upon the gates twelve angels, and names written which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel (Revelation 21:12) where by the “twelve angels” the same is signified as by the “twelve tribes,” namely, all things of faith, and thus the Lord, from whom is faith and all that is of faith. And again:

And I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the eternal gospel (Revelation 14:6) where by the “angel” is signified the gospel, which is the Lord’s alone.

[6] In Isaiah:

The Angel of His faces saved them 1 in His love and in His pity He redeemed them; and He bare them and carried them all the days of eternity (Isaiah 63:9)

where by “the Angel of His faces” is meant the Lord’s mercy toward the whole human race, in redeeming them. So too it was said by Jacob when he blessed the sons of Joseph:

The Angel who redeemed me from all evil bless the lads (Genesis 48:16)

where also redemption, which is the Lord’s, is signified by the “Angel.”

In Malachi:

The Lord whom ye seek shall suddenly come to His temple, even the Angel of the covenant whom ye desire (Malachi 3:1)

it is here plainly evident that the Lord is signified by the “Angel,” since He is called “the Angel of the covenant” on account of His advent. And even more plainly does it appear that the Lord is signified by an “Angel” in Exodus:

Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee by the way, and to bring thee to the place which I have prepared. He will not endure your transgression, for My name is in the midst of him (Exodus 23:20-21).

Hence now it is evident that by “Angel” in the Word is meant the Lord; but what of the Lord, appears from the series and connection in the internal sense.
