2 Mózes 29

Studie

   

1 Ez az, a mit õ velök cselekedjél, az õ felszentelésökre, hogy az én papjaim legyenek: Végy egy tulkot, fiatal marhát, és hiba nélkül való két kost.

2 És kovásztalan kenyeret, és olajjal elegyített kovásztalan kalácsokat, meg olajjal kent kovásztalan lepényeket is; búzalisztlángból készítsd azokat.

3 És tedd azokat egy kosárba, és vidd fel azokat a kosárban, a tulokkal és a két kossal együtt.

4 Áront pedig és az õ fiait állítsd a gyülekezet sátorának ajtaja elé, és mosd meg õket vízzel.

5 És vedd a ruhákat, és öltöztesd fel Áront a köntösbe, az efódhoz való palástba, és az efódba, meg a hósenbe és övezd fel õt az efód övével.

6 Tedd a süveget is fejére, és a szent koronát tedd a süvegre.

7 És vedd a kenetnek olaját, és töltsd az õ fejére, így kend fel õt.

8 Fiait is állítsd elõ, és öltöztesd fel õket [a] köntösökbe.

9 És övezd körûl õket övvel, Áront és az õ fiait, és tégy a fejökre süvegeket is, hogy övék legyen a papság örök rendelés szerint. Így iktasd be tisztökbe Áront és fiait.

10 Azután állíttasd a tulkot a gyülekezet sátora elé, és Áron és az õ fiai tegyék kezeiket a tulok fejére.

11 És vágd le a tulkot az Úr elõtt a gyülekezet sátorának ajtajánál.

12 Azután végy a tulok vérébõl, és hintsd azt ujjaiddal az oltár szarvaira; a [többi] vért pedig töltsd mind az oltár aljára.

13 És vedd a kövérébõl mindazt, a mi a belet fedi, és a májon lévõ hártyát, és a két vesét a rajtok lévõ kövérrel együtt, és füstölögtesd el az oltáron.

14 A tulok húsát, bõrét és ganéját pedig égesd el a táboron kívül: bûnért való áldozat az.

15 Vedd az egyik kost is, és Áron és az õ fiai tegyék kezeiket a kos fejére.

16 Azután vágd le a kost, és vedd annak vérét, és hintsd azt az oltárra köröskörûl.

17 A kost pedig vagdald tagjaira, és mosd meg a belét és lábszárait, és tedd rá tagjaira és fejére.

18 Azután füstölögtesd el az egész kost az oltáron: égõáldozat az az Úrnak, kedves illatú tûzáldozat az Úrnak.

19 Vedd a másik kost is, és Áron és az õ fiai tegyék kezeiket a kos fejére.

20 Azután vágd le a kost, és végy annak vérébõl, és hintsd meg azzal Áron füle czimpáját és az õ fiai jobb fülének czimpáját, és az õ jobb kezök hüvelykét és jobb lábok hüvelykét; a [többi] vért pedig hintsd az oltárra köröskörül.

21 Azután végy a vérbõl, mely az oltáron van, és a kenetnek olajából, és hintsd Áronra és az õ ruháira, s vele együtt az õ fiaira és az õ fiainak ruháira, hogy szent legyen õ és az õ ruhái, s vele együtt az õ fiai és az õ fiainak ruhái.

22 Azután vedd a kosból a kövérét, a farkát s a belet borító kövéret, meg a máj hártyáját, meg a két veséjét a rajtok levõ kövérével, és a jobb lapoczkát; mert felavatási kos ez.

23 Meg egy kenyeret és egy olajos kalácsot és egy lepényt a kovásztalan kenyérnek kosarából, mely az Úr elõtt van;

24 És rakd mindezeket az Áron kezeire és az Áron fiainak kezeire, és lóbáltasd meg azokat az Úr elõtt.

25 Azután vedd le azokat kezükrõl, és füstölögtesd el az oltáron az égõáldozat felett kedves illatul az Úr elõtt; az Úrnak tûzáldozata az.

26 Vedd az Áron felavatási kosának szegyét is, és lóbbáld meg azt az Úr elõtt; azután legyen az a te részed.

27 Így szenteld meg a meglóbbált szegyet és a felemelt lapoczkát, a melyet meglóbbáltak és a melyet felemeltek, Áronnak és az õ fiainak felavatási kosából.

28 És legyen ez Áronnak és az õ fiainak része örökké az Izráel fiaitól: mert felmutatott adomány ez, és felmutatott adomány legyen Izráel fiai részérõl az õ hálaáldozataikból; az Úrnak felmutatott adomány.

29 A szent öltözetek pedig, a melyek az Áronéi, legyenek õ utána az õ fiaié, hogy azokban kenettessenek fel, és azokban állíttassanak tisztökbe.

30 Hét napon öltözzék azokba, a ki az õ fiai közül õ utána pap lesz, a ki bemenendõ lesz a gyülekezet sátorába, hogy a szent helyen szolgáljon.

31 A felavatási kost pedig vedd, és fõzd meg annak húsát szent helyen.

32 És a kosnak húsát és a kenyeret, mely a kosárban van, a gyülekezet sátorának ajtajánál egye meg Áron és az õ fiai.

33 Õk egyék meg azokat, a mik által az engesztelés történt, hogy tisztökbe állíttassanak és felszenteltessenek. De idegen ne egyék [azokból], mert szentek azok.

34 Ha pedig valami megmarad az avatási húsból vagy a kenyérbõl reggelig, tûzzel égesd meg a maradékot; meg ne egyék, mert szent az.

35 Áronnal tehát és az õ fiaival akképen cselekedjél, a mint megparancsoltam néked; hét napon át állítsd õket tisztökbe.

36 És naponként készíts bûnáldozati tulkot engesztelésül, és tisztítsd meg az oltárt, mikor engesztelõ áldozatot végzesz rajta, és kend meg azt, hogy megszenteltessék.

37 Hét napon tégy engesztelõ áldozatot az oltáron; és szenteld meg azt, hogy felette igen szentséges legyen az oltár. Valami illeti az oltárt, szent legyen.

38 Ez pedig az, a mit áldoznod kell az oltáron: Esztendõs két bárányt mindennap szüntelen.

39 Az egyik bárányt reggel áldozd meg, a másik bárányt pedig áldozd meg estennen.

40 És az egyik bárányhoz [végy] egy tized lisztlángot, egy negyed hin-nyi sajtolt olajjal vegyítve; italáldozatul pedig egy negyed hin-nyi bort.

41 A másik bárányt estennen áldozd meg, ugyanazzal az étel- és italáldozattal készítsd azt, mint reggel; kedves illatul, tûzáldozatul az Úrnak.

42 Szüntelen égõáldozat legyen az a ti nemzetségeitek között a gyülekezet sátorának ajtajánál az Úr elõtt, a hol megjelenek néktek, hogy veled ott szóljak.

43 Ott jelenek meg az Izráel fiainak, és megszenteltetik az én dicsõségem által.

44 És megszentelem a gyülekezetnek sátorát és az oltárt; Áront és az õ fiait is megszentelem, hogy papjaim legyenek.

45 És az Izráel fiai között lakozom, és nékik Istenök lészek.

46 És megtudják, hogy én, az Úr vagyok az õ Istenök, a ki kihoztam õket Égyiptom földérõl, hogy közöttök lakozhassam, én, az Úr az õ Istenök.

10276. 'And you shall sanctify them, and they shall be the holy of holies' means consequently the inflow and presence of the Lord within the worship of the representative Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'being sanctified' as representing the Lord in respect of the Divine Human, and the reception of Divine Good and Divine Truth from Him, for the Lord alone is holy and therefore that alone is holy which emanates from Him, from which it is evident that 'being sanctified' also means the inflow and presence of the Lord within the worship of the representative Church;

'Being sanctified' means representing the Lord in respect of the Divine Human, see 9956, 9988, 10069.

It also means the reception of Divine Good and Divine Truth from Him, 8806, 9820, 10128.

The Lord alone is holy, and that alone is holy which emanates from Him, 9229, 9479, 9680, 9818.

Thus holy things among the Israelite and Jewish nation were holy in a representative fashion, 10149, and from the meaning of 'the holy of holies' as celestial Divine Good, dealt with in 10129.

[2] From all this it is evident that all those things which had been anointed were called 'the holy of holies' by virtue of the inflow and presence of the Lord's Divine Human. And whenever the Lord flows in and becomes present He does so by a path that is direct, and also in the lower heavens by one that is indirect, through celestial good, which is the inmost heaven's good. Therefore to the extent that the levels of good in the lower heavens contain and store celestial good, which is the good of love to the Lord, they are indeed good. This is why things which had been anointed were called 'the holy of holies'. Regarding the Lord's flowing in directly and indirectly, see in the places referred to in 9682, 9683.

[3] To have any knowledge of the nature of these things a person must know what a representation is and what a representative Church is. What they are has been shown extensively in the places referred to in 9229, 9280, 10030; but since few at the present day know what they are, let something more be said to shed further light on the subject. In the inmost heavens there exist among the angels affections for goodness and truth derived from the Lord, which compose those angels' life and bliss. These affections manifest themselves in the lowest heaven within outward forms, which are countless and infinitely various; whatever the eyes of those in that heaven behold there springs from them. These forms are representative of more internal things, which are affections for goodness and truth and are called celestial and spiritual things.

[4] Good spirits, who perceive the holy things of heaven within those representative forms existing as subjects 1 , have their inner feelings stirred by them. They see, for example, parks or gardens with countless species of trees and fruits, also rose gardens, lawns, fields with crops, houses, palaces, and very many other sights. All these correspond to the affections for goodness and truth which, derived from the Lord, exist in higher heavens. Representative forms also exist in these higher heavens, but they are immeasurably superior in perfection, delightfulness, and rapture to such forms in the lowest heaven. These representative forms are what the saying that no eye has ever seen such things refers to; and if any description of them were given it would surpass human belief.

[5] From all this it may be recognized what representative forms are. All those which had been established among the Israelite nation were similar to the ones in the lowest heaven, but had less perfection because they existed in the natural world. Such forms comprised the tent of meeting together with the ark, the table on which the loaves of the Presence were laid, the lampstand and its lamps, and the altar of incense; the garments of Aaron and his sons; at a later time, the temple together with the sanctuary in it, where the ark with the mercy-seat and cherubs above it was; the bronze sea, the lavers, and similar objects. More however, beyond numbering, appear in the lowest heaven; but these have greater excellence and perfection. That heaven was where the Lord showed Moses on Mount Sinai the things to be established among the Israelite nation, as is evident in Exodus 25:40; 26:30; 27:8, though Moses did not see them there with his bodily eyes but with those of his spirit.

[6] Further proof of the nature of representative forms lies in those things which were seen by prophets - by Daniel, by John in the Book of Revelation, and by all the rest. All the things which they saw conceal Divine spiritual and celestial realities within them. Without the internal sense to explain them those visions are unintelligible, as anyone may recognize.

[7] From all this it is again evident what a representative Church is.

This Church was established in the land of Canaan especially on account of the Word, in order that representative forms and objects carrying a spiritual meaning might be used in the writing of it, thus such things as existed among that nation, in their Church and in their land. For since most ancient times all places in the land of Canaan, all the mountains and rivers there, represented such things as existed in heaven, 3686, 4240, 4447, 4454, 5136, 6516; and so at a later time did the inheritances, tribes, and everything else. The literal sense of the Old Testament Word was composed of such things, to the end that it might be a kind of base in which more internal things terminated and on which they stood, like a building on its foundations, see 9360, 9824, 10044.

[8] Anyone who is intelligent may see from all this that the Word is most holy, that its literal sense is holy by virtue of its internal sense, and that when separated from this it is not holy. For the literal sense separated from the internal is like a person's outward [body] separated from his inward [soul], which is a lifeless statue; and it is like the outer covering of a tree, flower, fruit, or seed without their inward parts, and like the foundation without the house. Those therefore who adhere strictly to the sense of the letter of the Word and do not have or acquire for themselves from the Word teachings in keeping with its internal sense may be drawn into all kinds of heresy. This is why such people refer to the Word as a book of heresies. Sound doctrine drawn from the Word must absolutely shine before people and show them the way to go; those teachings are provided by the internal sense, and the person who is acquainted with them has the internal sense of the Word.

[9] Because the Jewish nation did not acknowledge the presence of any holiness in the Word except in its literal sense alone, which they separated completely from its internal sense, they sank into such darkness that they did not know the Lord when He came into the world. That nation is just the same at the present day; therefore although they live among Christians, they still do not as yet from the Word acknowledge the Lord. Right from the start that nation was interested in outward things but not their inner substance, see what has been shown in the places referred to in 9320(end), 9380. Unless therefore the Lord had come into the world and disclosed its inner contents, contact with the heavens through the Word would have been broken; and if that had been broken the human race on this planet would have perished. For no one can think anything at all that is true or do anything at all that is good except in heaven's strength, that is, the Lord's coming through heaven. The Word is what opens heaven.

4240. 'To the land of Seir' means celestial-natural good. This is clear from the meaning of 'the land of Seir' in the highest sense as the Lord's celestial-natural good. The reason why 'the land of Seir' has this meaning is that Mount Seir formed a boundary to the land of Canaan on one side, Joshua 11:16-17, and all boundaries such as rivers, mountains, and stretches of land represented the things that came last, 1585, 1866, 4116. Indeed these boundaries acquired their individual representations from the land of Canaan contained within them, which land represented the Lord's heavenly kingdom, and in the highest sense His Divine Human, see 1607, 3038, 3481, 3705. Things that are last, existing as boundaries, are those which are called natural, for natural things are the boundaries holding spiritual and celestial realities within them. This is so in the heavens, for the inmost or third heaven is celestial because it is governed by love to the Lord; the intermediate or second heaven is spiritual because it is governed by love towards the neighbour; and the last or first heaven is celestial-natural and spiritual-natural because it is governed by simple good, which is the last degree of order there. And the same is true with the regenerate person who is a miniature heaven. From all this one may now see the origin of the meaning of 'the land of Seir' as celestial-natural good. 'Esau' too, who dwelt there, represents that good, as has been shown above, and therefore the land where he dwelt has the same meaning. For lands take on the particular representations of their inhabitants, 1675.

[2] From all this one may now see what is meant in the Word by 'Seir', as in Moses,

Jehovah came from Sinai, and dawned from Seir upon them; He shone from Mount Paran, and came out of myriads of holiness. Deuteronomy 33:2-3.

In the Song of Deborah and Barak in the Book of Judges,

O Jehovah, when You went forth from Seir, when You set out from the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens also dropped, the clouds indeed dropped water, the mountains flowed down, this Sinai before Jehovah God of Israel. Judges 5:4-5.

In Balaam's prophecy,

I see Him, but not now; I behold Him, but not near. A star will arise out of Jacob, and a sceptre will rise up out of Israel. And Edom will be an inheritance and Seir will be an inheritance of his enemies; and Israel is gaining strength. Numbers 24:17-18.

Anyone can see that in these places 'Seir' means some aspect of the Lord, since it is said that 'Jehovah dawned from Seir', that 'He went forth from Seir and set out from the field of Edom', and that 'Edom and Seir will be an inheritance'. But what aspect of the Lord is meant no one can know except from the internal sense of the Word. It is the Lord's Divine Human that is meant, and in particular the good of the Divine Natural within that Human, as may be seen from what has been mentioned above. 'Dawning from and going out of Seir' means that He made even the Natural Divine in order that this also might be a source of light, that is, of intelligence and wisdom, and in this way He might become Jehovah not only as regards the Human Rational but also as regards the Human Natural. This is why it is said that 'Jehovah dawned from Seir' and 'Jehovah went out of Seir' - the Lord being Jehovah, see 1343, 1736, 2004, 2005, 2018, 2025, 2156, 2329, 2921, 3023, 3035. Something similar is embodied in the prophetic utterance concerning Dumah,

One is calling to me from Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? The watchman said, Morning comes, and also the night. Isaiah 21:11-12.

[3] In the relative sense 'the land of Seir' strictly speaking means the Lord's kingdom existing with those outside the Church, that is, with gentiles when the Church is being established among them, while the previous or old Church is simultaneously falling away from charity and faith. As is clear from many places in the Word, light comes at that time to those who are in darkness. And this is strictly speaking the meaning of 'dawning from Seir', and of 'going forth from Seir and setting out from the field of Edom'. It is also the meaning of 'Seir will be an inheritance', as well as of the words in Isaiah, 'One is calling to me from Seir, Watchman, what of the night? The watchman said, Morning comes, and also the night.' 'Morning comes' means the Lord's advent, 2405, 2780, and as a consequence enlightenment coming to people who are 'in the night', that is, who dwell in ignorance; but that enlightenment is from the Lord's Divine Natural, 4211. Since most things in the Word also have a contrary sense, so too does the name 'Seir', as in Ezekiel 25:8-9; 35:2-15, and in various places in the historical parts of the Word.
