1 여호와께서 모세에게 일러 가라사대

2 이스라엘 자손에게 고하여 그들에게 이르라 남자나 여자가 특별한 서원 곧 나실인의 서원을 하고 자기 몸을 구별하여 여호와께 드리거든

3 포도주와 독주를 멀리하며 포도주의 초나 독주의 초를 마시지 말며 포도즙도 마시지 말며 생포도나 건포도도 먹지 말지니

4 자기 몸을 구별하는 모든 날 동안에는 포도나무 소산은 씨나 껍질이라도 먹지말지며

5 그 서원을 하고 구별하는 모든 날 동안은 삭도를 도무지 그 머리에 대지 말 것이라 자기 몸을 구별하여 여호와께 드리는 날이 차기까지 그는 거룩한즉 그 머리털을 길게 자라게 할 것이며

6 자기 몸을 구별하여 여호와께 드리는 모든 날 동안은 시체를 가까이 하지 말 것이요

7 그 부모 형제 자매가 죽은 때에라도 그로 인하여 더럽히지 말것이니 이는 자기 몸을 구별하여 하나님께 드리는 표가 그 머리에 있음이라

8 자기 몸을 구별하는 모든 날 동안 그는 여호와께 거룩한 자니라

9 누가 홀연히 그 곁에서 죽어서 스스로 구별한 자의 머리를 더럽히거든 그 몸을 정결케 하는 날에 머리를 밀 것이니 곧 제 칠일에 밀 것이며

10 제 팔일에 산비둘기 두 마리나 집비둘기 새끼 두 마리를 가지고 회막 문에 와서 제사장에게 줄 것이요

11 제사장은 그 하나를 속죄제물로, 하나를 번제물로 드려서 그의 시체로 인하여 얻은 죄를 속하고 또 그는 당일에 그의 머리를 성결케 할 것이며

12 자기 몸을 구별하여 여호와께 드릴 날을 새로 정하고 일년 된 수양을 가져다가 속건제로 드릴지니라 자기 몸을 구별한 때에 그 몸을 더렵혔은즉 지나간 날은 무효니라

13 나실인의 법은 이러하니라 자기 몸을 구별한 날이 차면 그 사람을 회막 문으로 데리고 갈 것이요

14 그는 여호와께 예물을 드리되 번제물로 일년 된 흠 없는 수양 하나와 속죄제물로 일년 된 흠 없는 어린 암양 하나와 화목제물로 흠 없는 수양 하나와

15 무교병 한 광주리와 고운 가루에 기름 섞은 과자들과 기름 바른 무교전병들과 그 소제물과 전제물을 드릴 것이요

16 제사장은 그것들을 여호와 앞에 가져다가 속죄제와 번제를 드리고

17 화목제물로 수양에 무교병 한 광주리를 아울러 여호와께 드리고 그 소제와 전제를 드릴 것이요

18 자기 몸을 구별한 나실인은 회막 문에서 그 머리털을 밀고 그것을 화목제물 밑에 있는 불에 둘지며

19 자기 몸을 구별한 나실인이 그 머리털을 민 후에 제사장이 삶은 수양의 어깨와 광주리 가운데 무교병 하나와 무교전병 하나를 취하여 나실인의 두 손에 두고

20 여호와 앞에 요제로 흔들 것이며 그것과 흔든 가슴과 든 넓적다리는 성물이라 다 제사장에게 돌릴 것이니라 그 후에는 나실인이 포도주를 마실 수 있느니라

21 이는 곧 서원한 나실인이 자기 몸을 구별한 일로 인하여 여호와께 예물을 드림과 행할 법이며 이 외에도 힘이 미치는 대로 하려니와 그 서원 한대로 자기 몸을 구별하는 법을 따라 할 것이니라

22 여호와께서 모세에게 일러 가라사대

23 아론과 그 아들들에게 고하여 이르기를 너희는 이스라엘 자손을 위하여 이렇게 축복하여 이르되

24 여호와는 네게 복을 주시고 너를 지키시기를 원하며

25 여호와는 그 얼굴로 네게 비취사 은혜 베푸시기를 원하며

26 여호와는 그 얼굴을 네게로 향하여 드사 평강주시기를 원하노라 할지니라 하라

27 그들은 이같이 내 이름으로 이스라엘 자손에게 축복할지니 내가 그들에게 복을 주리라 !

7978. 'And they baked the dough which they brought out of Egypt - unleavened cakes' means that from the truth of good further good was produced that had no falsity at all in it. This is clear from the meaning of 'baking' - when used in reference to the truth of good, meant by 'the dough' - as producing; from the meaning of 'the dough' as the truth of good, dealt with above in 7966; and from the meaning of 'unleavened cakes' as forms of good that have no falsity at all in them, since 'unleavened' means without falsity, see 2342, 7906. This is the second state of truth from good that they passed through when they were delivered, see above in 7966, 7972. The reason why 'cakes' means forms of good is that they are cakes of bread, and 'bread' in the internal sense is the good of love, dealt with in 276, 680, 2165, 2177, 3464, 3478, 3735, 3813, 4211, 4217, 4735, 4976, 5915. But bread in the form of cakes is distinguished from bread in general, in that bread in the form of cakes means the good of love towards the neighbour, which is spiritual good, while bread in general means the good of love to the Lord, which is celestial good. Such spiritual good was meant by 'the minchah' which was offered and burned with the sacrifice on the altar; for 'the minchah' was baked into cakes and into wafers, as is made clear in Exodus 29:2-3, 23-24, 32; Leviticus 2:2 and following verses; 6:20-21; Numbers 6:15, 19; 15:18-21.

[2] Something similar was meant by 'the twelve loaves of the presence which too were baked into cakes, described in Moses as follows,

You shall take fine flour and bake it into twelve cakes; two-tenths [of an ephah] shall there be in one cake. And you shall place them in two rows, six in a row, on the clean table before Jehovah. And you shall put pure frankincense on each row, and it shall be loaves of bread serving as a memorial, a fire-offering to Jehovah. Leviticus 24:5-9.

From these instructions it becomes clear that 'the loaves' meant what was holy, for such instructions would never have been issued but for that reason. And since they meant what was holy they were also called in verse 9 of the same chapter 'holiness of holinesses.' 1 But these loaves meant the good of celestial love, and their being baked into cakes meant forms of the good of spiritual love. From these verses and from those in the references given above it becomes clear that something similar is meant by the bread in the Holy Supper.

Arcana Coelestia # 3735

3735. 'And clothing to wear' means being joined to Divine Truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'clothing' as truth, dealt with in 1073, 2576, Divine Truth here since the Lord is the subject; and from the meaning of 'wearing' as making it one's own and being joined to it. As for the nature of the internal sense of the Word, that becomes clear from these and all other details; that is to say, when the sense of the letter refers to bread and to clothing, and also when it does so within historical narrative, as here in 'If God will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear', the angels present with a person at the time have no thought at all of bread but of the good of love, and in the highest sense, of the Lord's Divine Good. Nor do they have any thought at all of clothing but of truth, and in the highest sense, of the Lord's Divine Truth. To them such things as are referred to in the sense of the letter are simply objects for thought regarding heavenly and Divine matters, for such things are vessels existing in the ultimate degree of order.

[2] So when with holiness of mind a person thinks about bread - for example, when he thinks about the bread in the Holy Supper, or about the daily bread in the Lord's Prayer - that thought which he has about bread serves the angels present with him as an object for thought regarding the good of love which comes from the Lord. For the angels do not take hold of anything at all of the person's actual thought concerning bread, but instead their thought concerns good; for such is the correspondence between the two. It is similar when with holiness of mind a person thinks about clothing. The angels' thought in that case concerns truth. So it is with everything else in the Word. From this the nature of the joining together of heaven and earth by means of the Word becomes clear; that is to say, the joining together is such that when with holiness of mind anyone reads the Word he is joined by means of such correspondences more closely to heaven, and through heaven to the Lord, even though that person's thought is concerned solely with things in the Word which are stated in the sense of the letter. His holiness of mind at that time is the product of the influx of celestial and spiritual thoughts and affections such as exist with angels.

[3] So that such influx might exist and from that influx man might be joined to the Lord, the Lord has instituted the Holy Supper where it is explicitly stated that the Lord is the bread and wine. For the Lord's body means His Divine love, and the reciprocal love in man, love such as exists with celestial angels, while His blood in a similar way means His Divine love, and the reciprocal love in man, but love such as exists with spiritual angels. From this it is evident how much of the Divine there is within every individual part of the Word, though man does not know what that Divine content is or the nature of it. People however who, while in the world, have led a good life enter after death into cognitions and a perception of all those things, for at that time they cast off earthly and worldly things and take to themselves heavenly ones, and have, like angels, spiritual and celestial ideas.
