1 Και ελαλησε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην, λεγων,

2 Ειπε προς τον Ααρων και προς τους υιους αυτου να απεχωσιν απο των αγιων των υιων Ισραηλ, και να μη βεβηλονωσι το ονομα το αγιον μου, εις οσα αγιαζουσιν εις εμε. Εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος.

3 Ειπε προς αυτους, πας ανθρωπος εκ παντος του σπερματος σας εις τας γενεας σας, οστις πλησιαση εις τα αγια, τα οποια οι υιοι του Ισραηλ αγιαζουσιν εις τον Κυριον, εχων την ακαθαρσιαν αυτου εφ' εαυτον, η ψυχη εκεινη θελει εξολοθρευθη απ' εμπροσθεν μου. Εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος.

4 Οστις εκ του σπερματος του Ααρων ειναι λεπρος η εχει ρευσιν, απο των αγιων δεν θελει τρωγει, εωσου καθαρισθη. Και οστις εγγιση παν ακαθαρτον απο νεκρον η ανθρωπον εκ του οποιου εγεινε ρευσις σπερματος,

5 η οστις εγγιση οιονδηποτε ερπετον, εκ του οποιου δυναται να μιανθη, η ανθρωπον, εκ του οποιου δυναται να μιανθη, οποιαδηποτε ειναι η ακαθαρσια αυτου·

6 η ψυχη, ητις εγγιση αυτα, θελει εισθαι ακαθαρτος εως εσπερας· και δεν θελει φαγει απο των αγιων· εαν μη λουση το σωμα αυτου εν υδατι.

7 Και αφου δυση ο ηλιος θελει εισθαι καθαρος, και επειτα θελει φαγει απο των αγιων· διοτι ειναι η τροφη αυτου.

8 Θνησιμαιον η θηριαλωτον δεν θελει φαγει, ωστε να μιανθη εν αυτοις. Εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος.

9 Οθεν θελουσι φυλαττει τα διαταγματα μου, δια να μη βαστασωσιν αμαρτιαν εκ τουτου και αποθανωσι δι' αυτο, εαν βεβηλωσωσιν αυτα. Εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος, ο αγιαζων αυτους.

10 Και ουδεις αλλογενης θελει φαγει απο των αγιων· συγκατοικος του ιερεως η μισθωτος δεν θελει φαγει απο των αγιων.

11 Αλλ' εαν ο ιερευς αγοραση ψυχην δια του αργυριου αυτου, ουτος θελει τρωγει εξ αυτων, καθως και ο γεννηθεις εν τη οικια αυτου· ουτοι θελουσι τρωγει απο του αρτου αυτου.

12 Και η θυγατηρ του ιερεως, αν ηναι νενυμφευμενη μετα ανδρος ξενου, αυτη δεν θελει τρωγει απο των αγιων των προσφορων.

13 Αλλ' εαν η θυγατηρ του ιερεως χηρευση η αποβληθη και δεν εχη τεκνον και επιστρεψη εις τον πατρικον αυτης οικον, καθως ευρισκετο εν τη νεοτητι αυτης, θελει τρωγει απο του αρτου του πατρος αυτης· ουδεις ομως ξενος θελει φαγει απ' αυτου.

14 Εαν δε ανθρωπος τις φαγη απο των αγιων εξ αγνοιας, τοτε θελει προσθεσει το πεμπτον τουτου εις αυτο, και θελει αποδωσει εις τον ιερεα το αγιον.

15 Και δεν θελουσι βεβηλωσει τα αγια των υιων Ισραηλ, τα οποια προσφερουσιν εις τον Κυριον,

16 και δεν θελουσιν αναλαβει εφ' εαυτους ανομιαν παραβασεως, τρωγοντες τα αγια αυτων· διοτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος, ο αγιαζων αυτους.

17 Και ελαλησε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην, λεγων,

18 Λαλησον προς τον Ααρων και προς τους υιους αυτου και προς παντας τους υιους Ισραηλ και ειπε προς αυτους, Πας ανθρωπος εκ του οικου Ισραηλ η εκ των ξενων των εν τω Ισραηλ, οστις προσφερη το δωρον αυτου, κατα πασας τας ευχας αυτων η κατα πασας τας αυτοπροαιρετους προσφορας αυτων, τας οποιας προσφερουσιν εις τον Κυριον δια ολοκαυτωμα,

19 θελετε προσφερει, δια να ησθε δεκτοι, αρσενικον αμωμον εκ των βοων, εκ των προβατων η εκ των αιγων.

20 παν ο, τι εχει μωμον, δεν θελετε προσφερει διοτι δεν θελει εισθαι δεκτον δια σας.

21 Και οστις προσφερει θυσιαν ειρηνικης προσφορας εις τον Κυριον δια να εκπληρωση ευχην, η προσφοραν αυτοπροαιρετον, εκ των βοων η εκ των προβατων, θελει εισθαι αμωμον δια να ηναι δεκτον· ουδεις μωμος θελει εισθαι εις αυτο.

22 Τυφλον, η συντετριμμενον, η κολοβον, η εχον εξογκωμα, η ψωραν ξηραν, η λειχηνας, ταυτα δεν θελετε προσφερει εις τον Κυριον, ουδε θελετε καμει εξ αυτων προσφοραν δια πυρος εις τον Κυριον επι του θυσιαστηριου.

23 Μοσχον δε η προβατον, το οποιον εχει τι περιττον η κολοβον, δυνασαι να προσφερης αυτο δια προσφοραν αυτοπροαιρετον· δι' ευχην ομως δεν θελει εισθαι δεκτον.

24 Θλαδιαν, η εκτεθλιμμενον, η εκτομιαν, η ευνουχισμενον, δεν θελετε προσφερει εις τον Κυριον· ουδε θελετε καμει τουτο εν τη γη υμων.

25 Ουδε εκ χειρος αλλογενους θελετε προσφερει τον αρτον του Θεου σας εκ παντων τουτων· διοτι η διαφθορα αυτων ειναι εν αυτοις· μωμος ειναι εν αυτοις· δεν θελουσιν εισθαι δεκτα δια σας.

26 Και ελαλησε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην, λεγων,

27 Οταν μοσχος η αρνιον η εριφιον γεννηθη, τοτε θελει εισθαι επτα ημερας υποκατω της μητρος αυτου· απο δε της ογδοης ημερας και επεκεινα θελει εισθαι δεκτον εις θυσιαν δια πυρος γινομενην εις τον Κυριον.

28 Και δαμαλιν η προβατον δεν θελετε σφαξει αυτο και το παιδιον αυτου εν μια ημερα.

29 Και οταν προσφερητε θυσιαν ευχαριστιας εις τον Κυριον, θελετε προσφερει αυτην αυτοπροαιρετως.

30 Την αυτην ημεραν θελει φαγωθη· δεν θελετε αφησει ουδεν εξ αυτης εως το πρωι. Εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος.

31 Θελετε λοιπον φυλαττει τας εντολας μου και θελετε εκτελει αυτας. Εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος.

32 Και δεν θελετε βεβηλονει το ονομα μου το αγιον· αλλα θελω αγιαζεσθαι μεταξυ των υιων Ισραηλ. Εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος, ο αγιαζων υμας·

33 οστις εξηγαγον υμας εκ γης Αιγυπτου, δια να ημαι Θεος υμων. Εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος.

3300. And the first came forth red all over like a hairy garment [tunica]. That this signifies the natural good of the life of truth, is evident from the signification of “coming forth,” as being to be born; from the signification of “red,” as being the good of life, as will be shown presently; and from the signification of a “hairy garment,” as being the truth of the natural, which also will be shown presently. This being the “first” signifies that as to essence good is prior, as before said (n. 3299); and it is said “like a hairy garment” in order to signify that good is clothed with truth, as with a tender vessel or body, as also before said (n. 3299). In the internal sense of the Word a “garment” [tunica] signifies merely that which invests something else, wherefore also truths are compared to garments (n. 1073, 2576).

[2] That “red,” or “ruddy,” signifies the good of life, is because all good is of love, and love itself is celestial and spiritual fire, and is also compared to fire and likewise is called “fire” (n. 933-936). So also is love compared to blood, and is called “blood” (n. 1001); and because they are both red, the good which is of love is signified by “red” or “ruddy,” as may also be seen from the following passages in the Word. In the prophecy of Jacob, then Israel:

He shall wash his raiment in wine, and his vesture in the blood of grapes; his eyes are redder than wine, and his teeth are whiter than milk (Genesis 49:11-12); where Judah is treated of, by whom is there signified the Lord, as must be evident to everyone. “Raiment” and “vesture” in this passage signify the Lord’s Divine natural; “wine” and “the blood of grapes” signify the Divine good and Divine truth of the natural. Of the former it is said that “his eyes are redder than wine;” of the latter that “his teeth are whiter than milk;” it is the conjunction of good and truth in the natural which is thus described.

[3] In Isaiah:

Who is this that cometh from Edom? Wherefore art Thou red in Thine apparel? and Thy garments like him that treadeth in the wine-vat? (Isaiah 63:1-2);

here “Edom” denotes the Divine good of the Lord’s Divine natural, as will appear from what follows; “red in Thine apparel” denotes the good of truth; “garments like him that treadeth in the wine-vat,” the truth of good.

In Jeremiah:

Her Nazirites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk; they were more ruddy in bone than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire (Lam. 4:7).

By the “Nazirites” was represented the Lord as to the Divine Human, especially as to the Divine natural; thus the good therein by their being “more ruddy in bone than rubies.”

[4] As “red” signified good, especially the good of the natural, therefore in the Jewish Church, in which each and all things were representative of the Lord, and thence of His kingdom (consequently of good and truth, because the Lord’s kingdom is from these), it was commanded that the covering of the tent should be of the skins of red rams (Exodus 25:5; 26:14; 35:7, 23; 36:19); and also that the water of expiation should be made of the ashes of a red heifer burned (Numbers 19:2, 9). Unless the color red had signified something celestial in the Lord’s kingdom, it would never have been commanded that the rams should be red, and the heifer red. That holy things were thereby represented, everyone acknowledges who holds the Word to be holy. Inasmuch as the color red had such a signification, the coverings of the tent were interwoven and coupled together with threads of scarlet, crimson, and blue (Exodus 35:6).

[5] As almost all things have also an opposite sense, as has before been frequently stated, “red” in like manner then signifies the evil which is of the love of self; and this because the cupidities of the love of self are compared to fire and are called “fire” (n. 934, 1297, 1527, 1528, 1861, 2446); and in like manner they are compared to blood and are called “blood” (n. 374, 954, 1005). Hence in the opposite sense “red” has this signification; as in Isaiah:

Jehovah said, Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool (Isaiah 1:18).

In Nahum:

The shield of the mighty men (of Belial) is made red, the valiant men are made crimson, in the fire of torches are the chariots in the day (Nahum 2:3).

In John:

And there was seen another sign in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems (Revelation 12:3).

Again:

And I saw and behold a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown; and he went forth conquering and to conquer. And another horse came forth that was red; and to him that sat thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another; and there was given unto him a great sword. Afterwards there came forth a black horse; and at last a pale horse, whose name was death (Revelation 6:2, 4-5, 8).
