1 はまたモーセに言われた、

2 イスラエルの人々に言いなさい、『イスラエルの人々のうち、またイスラエルのうちに寄留する他人のうち、だれでもその供をモレクにささげる者は、必ず殺されなければならない。すなわち、の民は彼をで撃たなければならない。

3 わたしはをその人に向け、彼を民のうちから断つであろう。彼がその子供をモレクにささげてわたしの聖所を汚し、またわたしの聖なる名を汚したからである。

4 その人が子供をモレクにささげるとき、の民がもしことさらに、この事にをおおい、これを殺さないならば、

5 わたし自身、をその人とその家族とに向け、彼および彼に見ならってモレクを慕い、これと姦淫する者を、すべて民のうちから断つであろう。

6 もし口寄せ、または占い師のもとにおもむき、彼らを慕って姦淫する者があれば、わたしはをその人に向け、これを民のうちから断つであろう。

7 ゆえにあなたがたは、みずからを聖別し、聖なる者とならなければならない。わたしはあなたがたのである。

8 あなたがたはわたしの定めを守って、これを行わなければならない。わたしはあなたがたを聖別するである。

9 だれでも父またはをのろう者は、必ず殺されなければならない。彼が父またはをのろったので、そのは彼に帰するであろう。

10 人のと姦淫する者、すなわち隣人のと姦淫する者があれば、その姦夫、姦婦は共に必ず殺されなければならない。

11 その父のと寝る者は、その父をはずかしめる者である。彼らはふたりとも必ず殺されなければならない。そのは彼らに帰するであろう。

12 子の妻と寝る者は、ふたり共に必ず殺されなければならない。彼らは道ならぬことをしたので、そのは彼らに帰するであろう。

13 女と寝るように男と寝る者は、ふたりとも憎むべき事をしたので、必ず殺されなければならない。そのは彼らに帰するであろう。

14 女をそのと一緒にめとるならば、これは悪事であって、彼も、女たちもに焼かれなければならない。このような悪事をあなたがたのうちになくするためである。

15 男がもし、と寝るならば彼は必ず殺されなければならない。あなたがたはまた、そのを殺さなければならない。

16 女がもし、に近づいて、これと寝るならば、あなたは、その女ととを殺さなければならない。彼らは必ず殺さるべきである。そのは彼らに帰するであろう。

17 人がもし、その姉妹、すなわち父の娘、あるいはの娘に近づいて、その姉妹のはだを見、女はその兄弟のはだを見るならば、これは恥ずべき事である。彼らは、その民の人々のの前で、断たれなければならない。彼は、その姉妹を犯したのであるから、そのを負わなければならない。

18 人がもし、月のさわりのある女と寝て、そのはだを現すならば、男は女の源を現し、女は自分のの源を現したのであるから、ふたり共にその民のうちから断たれなければならない。

19 あなたの姉妹、またはあなたの父の姉妹を犯してはならない。これは、自分の肉親の者を犯すことであるから、彼らはそのを負わなければならない。

20 人がもし、そのおばと寝るならば、これはおじをはずかしめることであるから、彼らはその罪を負い、子なくして死ぬであろう。

21 人がもし、その兄弟を取るならば、これは汚らわしいことである。彼はその兄弟をはずかしめたのであるから、彼らは子なき者となるであろう。

22 あなたがたはわたしの定めとおきてとをことごとく守って、これを行わなければならない。そうすれば、わたしがあなたがたを住まわせようと導いて行く地は、あなたがたを吐き出さぬであろう。

23 あなたがたのからわたしが追い払うびとの風習に、あなたがたは歩んではならない。彼らは、このもろもろのことをしたから、わたしは彼らを憎むのである。

24 わたしはあなたがたに言った、「あなたがたは、彼らの地を獲るであろう。わたしはこれをあなたがたに与えて、これを獲させるであろう。これは乳と蜜との流れる地である」。わたしはあなたがたを他の民から区別したあなたがたのである。

25 あなたがたは清い汚れた汚れたと清いを区別しなければならない。わたしがあなたがたのために汚れたものとして区別した、またはまたはすべて地を這うものによって、あなたがたの身を忌むべきものとしてはならない。

26 あなたがたはわたしに対して聖なる者でなければならない。なるわたしは聖なる者で、あなたがたをわたしのものにしようと、他の民から区別したからである。

27 男または女で、口寄せ、または占いをする者は、必ず殺されなければならない。すなわち、で撃ち殺さなければならない。そのは彼らに帰するであろう』」。

10114. 'And if anything of the flesh of fillings [of the hand], and of the bread, is left until the morning' means spiritual and celestial forms of good which have not been linked to the new state. This is clear from the meaning of 'anything of the flesh and of the bread that is left' as that which has not been made their own, for 'eating' means making one's own, 10109, so that what has not been eaten means what has not been made their own; from the meaning of 'the flesh' as good, dealt with in 7850, 9127; from the meaning of 'fillings [of the hand]' as reception, dealt with in 10076, 10110, so that 'the flesh of fillings [of the hand]' means the reception of truth in good, and therefore the joining together of this truth and good, though in this instance the lack of any such reception or joining together is meant because what is left of the flesh must be understood; from the meaning of 'the bread' as celestial good, which is inmost good, dealt with in 10077; and from the meaning of 'the morning' as a new state, dealt with in 8211, 8427. From these meanings it is evident that 'anything of the flesh of fillings [of the hand], and of the bread, left until the morning' means spiritual and celestial forms of good which have not been linked to the new state. For the flesh of the sacrifice means spiritual good, which is the good of charity towards the neighbour, and the bread of it celestial good, which is the good of love to the Lord.

[2] What more should be understood by not being linked to the new state must be stated briefly. A new state is every state in which good and truth are joined together, and this occurs when the actions of a person who is being regenerated spring from good, thus from affection and love, and not as previously from truth or mere obedience. A new state also occurs when the good of love arises among those in heaven, a state called 'the morning' there; for different states of love and faith come round there, like midday, evening, [pre-dawn] twilight, and morning on earth. In addition a new state occurs when an old Church comes to an end and a new one begins. All these new states are meant in the Word by 'the morning'; each has been dealt with specifically in various places in the explanations of Genesis and Exodus.

Similar things are meant by the rule that 'none of the flesh of the Passover lamb shall be left until the morning' and that what did remain of it was to be burned with fire, Exodus 12:10, and also by the command that 'the fat of the feast shall not remain through the night until morning', Exodus 23:18.

[3] Similar things were also meant by the rule that what remained from the flesh of a eucharistic sacrifice could be eaten on the following day as well, but had to be burned on the third day, Leviticus 7:16-18; 19:6-7, 'the third day' too meaning a new state, see 4901, 5123, 5159. The reason for the concession contained in this rule was that eucharistic sacrifices were offerings made in connection with vows or they were voluntary offerings. They were presented by people not so much, as all other sacrifices were, for the sake of being purified and sanctified, as in order that they might eat in a holy place and bear witness to the joy in their heart that Divine worship gave them. And these feasts, which they called holy, brought greater gladness to those people than all other worship. Similar things were also meant by the command that they should not leave any of the manna until the morning, spoken of in Moses as follows,

Moses said, Let no man leave any of the manna until the morning. But they did not obey Moses, for they did leave some of it 1 until the morning; and it produced worms and became putrid. Exodus 16:19-20.

Arcana Coelestia # 5159

5159. 'And it happened on the third day' means in the final phase. This is clear from the meaning of 'the third day' as the final phase of a state; for 'day' means state, 23, 487, 488, 493, 893, 2788, 3462, 3785, 4850, and 'third' that which is complete, and so comes last, 1815, 2788, 4495. By the final phase of a state is meant the point when the previous state comes to an end and the new one begins. In the case of the person who is being regenerated a new state begins when order is turned around. The change takes place when interior things are given dominion over exterior ones, and exterior things begin to serve interior ones - which involves both ideas in the understanding and desires in the will. People who are being regenerated are conscious of this change as an inner urge not to allow sensory delights and bodily or earthly pleasures to take control, and draw ideas present in the understanding over to their own side to support them. When this change takes place the previous state has reached its final phase and the new one is entering its first. This is what is meant by 'on the third day'.

[2] In everyone, whether or not he is being regenerated, changes of state take place, and order is turned around. Yet such changes are different in the case of those who are being regenerated than in the case of those who are not being regenerated. With those who are not being regenerated those changes of state or order are due to physical causes or are attributable to causes associated with life in the community. Physical causes are those impulses which arise at one stage in life and subside at another, in addition to the giving of deliberate thought to physical health and a long life in the world. The causes connected with life in the community are the external, visible curbs a person has to place on his real desire, so that he may earn a reputation for being a wise person and a lover of what is righteous and good, when in fact the acquisition of position and material gain is his real reason for pursuing such. But in the case of people who are being regenerated, such changes of state or order are attributable to spiritual causes which spring from goodness and righteousness themselves; and when a person starts to have an affection for these he is at the end of the previous state and at the beginning of the new one.

[3] But as few are capable of seeing the truth of all this, let an example serve to shed light on the matter. Anyone who does not allow himself to be regenerated loves things of the body for their own sake, not for any other reason; and he loves the world too for its own sake. His love does not reach any higher because at heart he refuses to accept anything higher or more interior. On the other hand one who is being regenerated also loves things of the body, and worldly things likewise. Yet he loves them for higher or more interior reasons. He loves things of the body because he wishes to have a healthy mind inside a healthy body. Also, he loves his own mind and its healthiness for an even more interior reason, namely that he may have a wise discernment of what is good and an intelligent understanding of what is true. He also loves worldly things as much as others do, yet for the reason that the world, worldly wealth, possessions, and positions of importance may serve him as the means to put what is good and true or what is just and fair into effect.

[4] This example enables one to see what each one - the regenerate and the unregenerate - is really like, and to see that outwardly the two are apparently alike but that inwardly they are totally different. From this one may also recognize the identity and the essential nature of the causes which bring about the changes of state and turnings around of order that take place with people who are not being regenerated and those that take place with people who are being regenerated. One may also see that in the case of regenerate persons interior things have dominion over exterior ones, whereas in the case of unregenerate persons exterior ones have dominion over interior. The reasons or the ends that a person has in view are what have dominion, for those ends subordinate everything else in a person and make it subject to themselves. The person's whole life is conditioned entirely by his end in view, for that end is what he loves all the time.
