1 Και ελαλησε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην, λεγων,

2 Λαλησον προς τους υιους Ισραηλ και ειπε προς αυτους, Οταν τις καμη επισημον ευχην, συ θελεις καμνει την εκτιμησιν των ψυχων προς τον Κυριον.

3 Και η εκτιμησις σου θελει εισθαι του μεν αρσενικου, απο εικοσι ετων μεχρις εξηκοντα ετων, η εκτιμησις σου βεβαιως θελει εισθαι πεντηκοντα σικλοι αργυριου, κατα τον σικλον του αγιαστηριου·

4 εαν δε ηναι θηλυκον, η εκτιμησις σου θελει εισθαι τριακοντα σικλοι.

5 Εαν δε ηναι απο πεντε ετων μεχρις εικοσι, η εκτιμησις σου θελει εισθαι του μεν αρσενικου εικοσι σικλοι, του δε θηλυκου δεκα σικλοι.

6 Εαν δε ηναι απο ενος μηνος μεχρι πεντε ετων, η εκτιμησις σου θελει εισθαι του μεν αρσενικου πεντε σικλοι αργυριου· του δε θηλυκου η εκτιμησις σου τρεις σικλοι αργυριου.

7 Εαν δε απο εξηκοντα ετων και επανω, εαν μεν ηναι αρσενικον, η εκτιμησις σου θελει εισθαι δεκαπεντε σικλοι εαν δε θηλυκον, δεκα σικλοι.

8 Και εαν ηναι πτωχοτερος της εκτιμησεως σου, θελει παρασταθη εμπροσθεν του ιερεως, και ο ιερευς θελει εκτιμησει αυτον· κατα την δυναμιν εκεινου οστις εκαμε την ευχην, ο ιερευς θελει εκτιμησει αυτον.

9 Και εαν η ευχη ηναι κτηνος, εκ των οσα προσφερονται δωρον προς τον Κυριον, παν ο, τι διδει τις εκ τουτων εις τον Κυριον θελει εισθαι αγιον.

10 Δεν θελει αλλαξει αυτο, ουδε θελει αντικαταστησει καλον αντι κακου, η κακον αντι καλου· εαν δε ποτε ανταλλαξη κτηνος αντι κτηνους, τοτε και αυτο και το ανταλλαγμα αυτου θελουσιν εισθαι αγια.

11 Εαν δε ηναι τι κτηνος ακαθαρτον, εκ των οσα δεν προσφερονται δωρον προς τον Κυριον, τοτε θελει παραστησει το κτηνος εμπροσθεν του ιερεως·

12 και θελει εκτιμησει αυτο ο ιερευς, ειτε καλον ειναι ειτε κακον· κατα την εκτιμησιν σου, ω ιερευ, ουτω θελει εισθαι.

13 Και εαν τις θεληση να εξαγοραση αυτο, τοτε θελει προσθεσει το πεμπτον αυτου εις την εκτιμησιν σου.

14 Και οταν τις αφιερωση την οικιαν αυτου αφιερωμα εις τον Κυριον, τοτε ο ιερευς θελει εκτιμησει αυτην, ειτε καλη ειναι ειτε κακη· καθως εκτιμηση αυτην ο ιερευς, ουτω θελει εισθαι.

15 Και εαν ο αφιερωσας αυτην θεληση να εξαγοραση την οικιαν αυτου, θελει προσθεσει το πεμπτον του αργυριου της εκτιμησεως σου εις αυτην και θελει εισθαι αυτου.

16 Και εαν τις αφιερωση εις τον Κυριον μερος του αγρου της ιδιοκτησιας αυτου, η εκτιμησις σου θελει εισθαι κατα τον σπορον αυτου· εν χομορ σπορου κριθης θελει εκτιμηθη αντι πεντηκοντα σικλων αργυριου.

17 Εαν απο του ετους της αφεσεως αφιερωση τον αγρον αυτου, κατα την εκτιμησιν σου θελει εισθαι.

18 Αλλ' εαν μετα την αφεσιν αφιερωση τον αγρον αυτου, ο ιερευς θελει λογαριασει εις αυτον το αργυριον κατα τα επιλοιπα ετη μεχρι του ετους της αφεσεως, και θελει αφαιρεθη απο της εκτιμησεως σου.

19 Εαν δε ποτε ο αφιερωσας τον αγρον θεληση να εξαγοραση αυτον, θελει προσθεσει εις αυτον το πεμπτον του αργυριου της εκτιμησεως σου, και θελει εισθαι αυτου.

20 Και εαν δεν εξαγοραση τον αγρον η εαν επωλησε τον αγρον εις αλλον τινα, δεν θελει εξαγοραζεσθαι πλεον.

21 Αλλ' οταν ο αγρος παρελθη την αφεσιν, θελει εισθαι αγιος εις τον Κυριον, ως αγρος καθιερωμενος· η κυριοτης αυτου θελει εισθαι του ιερεως.

22 Εαν δε αφιερωση τις εις τον Κυριον αγρον τον οποιον ηγορασεν, οστις δεν ειναι εκ των αγρων της ιδιοκτησιας αυτου·

23 ο ιερευς θελει λογαριασει εις αυτον την αξιαν της εκτιμησεως σου μεχρι του ετους της αφεσεως· και θελει δωσει την εκτιμησιν σου την ημεραν εκεινην· ειναι αγιον εις τον Κυριον.

24 Εις το ετος της αφεσεως ο αγρος θελει αποδοθη εις εκεινον, απο του οποιου ηγορασθη, εις τον εχοντα την κυριοτητα της γης.

25 Και πασαι αι εκτιμησεις σου θελουσιν εισθαι κατα τον σικλον του αγιαστηριου· εικοσι γερα θελει εισθαι ο σικλος.

26 Πλην το πρωτοτοκον μεταξυ των κτηνων, το οποιον ανηκει ως πρωτοτοκον εις τον Κυριον, ουδεις θελει αφιερωσει αυτο· ειτε μοσχος ειτε αρνιον, του Κυριου ειναι.

27 Και εαν ηναι απο ακαθαρτων κτηνων, θελει εξαγορασει αυτο κατα την εκτιμησιν σου και θελει προσθεσει το πεμπτον αυτου επ' αυτο· η εαν δεν εξαγοραζηται, θελει πωληθη κατα την εκτιμησιν σου.

28 Ουδεν ομως καθιερωμα, το οποιον καθιερωση τις εις τον Κυριον εκ των οσα εχει, απο ανθρωπου εως κτηνους και εως αγρου της ιδιοκτησιας αυτου, θελει πωληθη ουδε θελει εξαγορασθη· παν καθιερωμα ειναι αγιωτατον εις τον Κυριον.

29 Ουδεν καθιερωμα καθιερωθεν παρα ανθρωπου θελει εξαγορασθη· εξαπαντος θελει θανατωθη.

30 Και παν δεκατον της γης, ειτε εκ του σπορου της γης ειτε εκ του καρπου των δενδρων, του Κυριου ειναι· ειναι αγιον εις τον Κυριον.

31 Και εαν ποτε θεληση τις να εξαγοραση το δεκατον αυτου, θελει προσθεσει εις αυτο το πεμπτον αυτου.

32 Και παν δεκατον βοων και προβατων, παντος ζωου διαβαινοντος υποκατωθεν της ραβδου, το δεκατον θελει εισθαι αγιον εις τον Κυριον.

33 Δεν θελει διακρινει ειτε καλον ειναι ειτε κακον ουδε θελει αλλαξει αυτο· και εαν ποτε αλλαξη αυτο, και αυτο και το ανταλλαγμα αυτου θελουσιν εισθαι αγια· δεν θελει εξαγορασθη.

34 Αυται ειναι αι εντολαι, τας οποιας προσεταξε Κυριος εις τον Μωυσην δια τους υιους Ισραηλ εν τω ορει Σινα.

5536. 'You have bereaved me [of my children]' means that thus no Church existed any longer. This is clear from the representation of Jacob, the one who says this about himself, as the good of truth, dealt with in 3659, 3669, 3677, 3775, 4234, 4273, 4538 (and as the good of truth is represented, so also is the Church because good is the essential element of the Church. It therefore amounts to the same whether you say the good of truth or the Church, for the person who has the good of truth present with him has the Church present with him. 'Jacob' represents the Church, see 4286, 4520, and that being so his sons represent the truths known to the Church, 5403, 5419, 5427, 5458, 5512); and from the meaning of 'bereaving' as depriving the Church of its truths and forms of good, such as those here which are represented by Joseph, Benjamin, and Simeon, to whom reference is made directly after the words 'you have bereaved me'.

[2] 'Bereaving' is depriving the Church of its truths for the reason that the Church is likened to a marriage. Good is likened to the husband and truth to the wife, while the truths born from that marriage are likened to 'the sons' and the forms of good to 'the daughters', and so on. When therefore a state of bereavement or an action causing this is mentioned, the meaning is that the Church has been deprived of its truths and as a consequence ceases to be a Church. The expressions 'bereft' and 'bereavement' are also used in various other places in the Word, as in

Ezekiel,

I will send famine and evil wild animals upon you, and I will make you bereft. Ezekiel 5:17.

In the same prophet,

When I cause evil wild animals to pass through the land and they leave it bereft so that it becomes a desolation, with the result that no one passes through on account of the wild animals. Ezekiel 14:15.

In Leviticus,

I will send into you the wild animals of the field, which will leave you bereft and will cut off your beasts, 1 and make you few in number, so that your roads are laid waste. Leviticus 26:22.

[3] In these quotations 'famine' stands for an absence of cognitions of good and truth and the consequent desolation, 'evil wild animals' for falsities derived from evils, and 'the land' for the Church. 'Sending famine and evil wild animals, and leaving the land bereft' stands for destroying the Church by means of falsities derived from evils and so depriving it completely of truths. In Jeremiah,

I will winnow them with a winnowing-fork in the gates of the land; I will bereave, I will destroy My people. Jeremiah 15:7.

Here also 'bereaving' stands for depriving of truths. In the same prophet,

Give their children over to the famine, and cause them to be wiped out by the power of the sword, 2 so that their wives become bereaved [of children] and widows. Jeremiah 18:11.

'So that their wives become bereaved and widows' stands for their being left without truths or good.

[4] In Hosea,

As for the Ephraimites, their glory will fly away like a bird, away from birth, and from the belly, and from conception. Even if they bring up their sons, I will make them bereft of human beings. Hosea 9:11-12.

Here the meaning is similar. In Ezekiel,

I will cause human beings to walk upon you, even My people; and those human beings will by inheritance take possession of you and you will be an inheritance to them; no more will you bereave them [of their children]. Thus said the Lord Jehovih, Because they say to you, You have been one devouring human beings and one bereaving your peoples [of children]. Ezekiel 36:12-13.

Here also 'bereaving' stands for depriving of truths.

[5] In Isaiah,

Now hear this, you lover of pleasures, sitting securely, saying in her 3 heart, I am, and there is no one else like me; a widow I shall not sit, nor shall I know bereavement [of children]. But these two things will come to you in a moment in one day-bereavement and widowhood. Isaiah 47:8-9.

This refers to the daughter of Babel and to Chaldea, that is, to those who are outwardly holy but inwardly unholy and who call themselves the Church by virtue of that outward holiness. 'Bereavement and widowhood' stands for a deprivation of truth and good. In the same prophet,

Lift up your eyes round about, and see; they all gather together, they come to you. The children of your bereavements will say again in your ears, The place is too narrow for me; yield me a place to dwell in. But you will say in your heart, Who has begotten these for me, when yet I am bereft [of children] and alone, an exile and one who has been displaced? Who therefore has brought these up? I was left, alone. These, where were they? Isaiah 49:18, 20-21.

This refers to Zion, which is the celestial Church, and to its fruitfulness after it had been laid waste. 'The sons of bereavements' stands for the truths of which it was deprived when laid waste, but which were restored and underwent enormous increase.
