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).

5658. Our silver in its weight. That this signifies truths according to each one’s state, is evident from the signification of “silver,” as being truth (see n. 1551, 2954); and from the signification of “weight,” as being the state of a thing as to good (n. 3104); thus “truths according to each one’s state” is according to the good they are capable of receiving. Weights and measures are mentioned in many passages of the Word; yet in the internal sense they do not signify weights and measures; but weights signify the states of a thing as to good, and measures the states of a thing as to truth. So also do heaviness and extension; heaviness in the natural world corresponds to good in the spiritual world, and extension to truth. The reason is that in heaven, which is the source of correspondences, there is no heaviness and no extension, because there is no space. Things indeed appear heavy and extended among spirits; but these are appearances arising from states of good and truth in a higher heaven.

[2] That “silver” signifies truth was very well known in ancient times. Hence the ancients distinguished the several ages of the world from the first to the last into the golden, the silver, the copper, and the iron ages, to which they added an age of clay. They called those times the golden ages when there was innocence and wholeness, and when everyone did what was good from good, and what was just from justice. They called those times the silver ages when there was no longer innocence, but still a kind of wholeness that consisted not in doing good from good, but in doing truth from truth; and they gave the name of copper and iron to the ages which are yet lower.

[3] That they so designated these periods was not from comparison, but from correspondence; for the ancients knew that silver corresponds to truth, and gold to good, and this by communication with spirits and angels. For when good is spoken about in a higher heaven, there is an appearance of gold below among those who are beneath them in the first or lowest heaven; and when truth is spoken of, there is an appearance of silver; sometimes so that not only the walls of the rooms where they dwell sparkle with gold and silver, but also the very atmosphere. Tables of gold also, golden lampstands, and many other things, appear with the angels of the first or ultimate heaven who are in good from good; while to those who are in truth from truth, such objects appear of silver. Yet who at the present day knows that it was from their correspondence that the ancients called these the gold and silver ages? Indeed who at this day knows anything about correspondence? And he who does not know this, and still more he who makes pleasure and wisdom consist in disputing whether it is or is not so, cannot know the least of the countless things that belong to correspondence.
