Studie

   

1 “Tegul Aaronas ir jo sūnūs Nadabas, Abihuvas, Eleazaras ir Itamaras eina kunigų tarnystę.

2 Savo broliui Aaronui padarysi šventus drabužius, kad jis atrodytų iškilmingai ir gražiai.

3 Kalbėk visiems išmintingiesiems, kuriuos Aš pripildžiau išminties dvasios, kad jie padarytų Aaronui drabužius ir jis būtų įšventintas tarnauti kunigu mano akivaizdoje.

4 Jie turi padaryti šiuos drabužius: krūtinės skydelį, efodą, tuniką, siaurą drobinę jupą, mitrą ir juostą. Jie padarys šventus drabužius tavo broliui Aaronui ir jo sūnums, kurie eis kunigų tarnystę.

5 ūbams imk auksą, mėlynų, violetinių, raudonų ir plonų lininių siūlų.

6 Efodą padarysi iš aukso, mėlynų, violetinių, raudonų ir plonų suktų lininių siūlų, meniškai juos išausdamas.

7 Ant jo bus dvi petnešos, sujungtos savo kraštais, ir taip jis bus sujungtas.

8 Juostą efodui padarysi taip pat kaip efodą: iš aukso, mėlynų, violetinių, raudonų ir suktų lininių siūlų.

9 Imsi du onikso akmenėlius ir juose įrėši Izraelio sūnų vardus:

10 šešis vardus viename akmenėlyje ir šešis antrame jų gimimo eile.

11 Kaip auksakaliai ir brangių akmenų raižytojai daro, taip įrėši juose Izraelio sūnų vardus ir įstatysi akmenėlius į auksinius įdėklus.

12 Pritvirtinsi juos ant abiejų efodo pečių kaip atminimo ženklą Izraelio sūnums. Ir Aaronas nešios jų vardus Viešpaties akivaizdoje ant abiejų pečių atminimui.

13 Padarysi iš aukso taip pat dvi sagtis

14 ir iš tyriausio aukso dvi grandinėles, sukabinėtas nareliais, kurias įversi į sagtis.

15 Padirbdinsi teismo krūtinės skydelį taip pat meniškai kaip efodą: iš aukso, mėlynų, violetinių, raudonų ir plonų suktų lininių siūlų padarysi jį.

16 Jis bus keturkampis ir dvilinkas; plotis ir ilgis vieno sprindžio.

17 Jį papuoši keturiomis brangakmenių eilėmis. Pirmoje eilėje bus sardis, topazas ir smaragdas;

18 antroje­rubinas, safyras ir jaspis;

19 trečioje­hiacintas, agatas ir ametistas;

20 ketvirtoje­chrizolitas, oniksas ir berilis. Jie bus aukse įrėminti.

21 Juose bus įrėžti dvylikos Izraelio sūnų vardai. Kiekviename brangakmenyje vardas vienos iš dvylikos giminių.

22 Krūtinės skydeliui padarysi iš gryno aukso grandinėles,

23 taip pat du auksinius žiedus, kuriuos pritaisysi prie dviejų krūtinės skydelio kampų.

24 Auksines grandinėles įversi į žiedus, esančius kampuose;

25 prie tų grandinėlių galų pritvirtinsi sagtis ir prisegsi jas prie efodo petnešų ties krūtinės skydeliu.

26 Padirbdinsi du auksinius žiedus, kuriuos pritaisysi prie apatinių krūtinės skydelio kampų iš apačios toje pusėje, kuri siekia efodą.

27 Du kitus auksinius žiedus pritaisysi prie abiejų efodo šonų žemai, kur apatinis sujungimas, kad krūtinės skydelis galėtų būti sukabintas su efodu.

28 Efodo žiedai bus surišti mėlyna juosta su krūtinės skydelio žiedais, kad krūtinės skydelis tvirtai prigultų ir negalėtų būti atskirtas nuo efodo.

29 Aaronas nešios Izraelio sūnų vardus teismo krūtinės skydelyje kaip amžiną atminimo ženklą Viešpaties akivaizdoje, eidamas į šventyklą.

30 Į teismo krūtinės skydelį įdėsi Urimą ir Tumimą, jie bus ant Aarono širdies, kai jis pasirodys Viešpaties akivaizdoje. Jis visuomet nešios ant savo širdies Viešpaties teismą Izraelio sūnums.

31 Padarysi efodui mėlyną tuniką,

32 kurios viršuje per vidurį bus skylė galvai įkišti, apvesta auksiniu apvadu, kad nesuplyštų.

33 Tunikos apačioje padarysi aplinkui iš mėlynų, violetinių ir raudonų siūlų granato vaisius, o tarp jų­auksinius varpelius,

34 taip, kad pakaitomis būtų auksinis varpelis ir granato vaisius aplink visą tuniką.

35 Jį dėvės Aaronas, eidamas tarnystę, kad girdėtųsi skambėjimas, jam einant į šventyklą Viešpaties akivaizdon ir išeinant, kad jis nemirtų.

36 Padarysi iš gryno aukso plokštelę, kurioje įrėši auksakalio darbu: ‘Pašvęstas Viešpačiui’.

37 Ją pririši mėlynu raiščiu ant mitros, kad būtų mitros priekyje.

38 Ji bus ant Aarono kaktos, kad Aaronas galėtų nešti visus trūkumus šventų dalykų, kuriuos Izraelio sūnūs aukoja kaip šventas dovanas. Ji nuolat bus ant jo kaktos, kad jie galėtų būti priimtini Viešpačiui.

39 Padarysi siaurą jupą iš baltos plonos drobės, mitrą iš tokios pat drobės ir juostą, margai išsiuvinėtą.

40 Aarono sūnums padarysi drobines jupas, juostas ir kunigiškus gobtuvus, kad atrodytų iškilmingai ir gražiai.

41 Šitais apdarais apvilksi savo brolį Aaroną ir jo sūnus. Patepsi juos, pašventinsi ir įšventinsi, kad jie galėtų būti mano kunigais.

42 Padarysi jiems trumpas drobines kelnes, kad pridengtų jų kūno nuogumą. Jos bus nuo strėnų iki šlaunų.

43 Jas dėvės Aaronas ir jo sūnūs, eidami į Susitikimo palapinę arba prie aukuro tarnauti šventykloje, kad nenusikalstų ir nemirtų. Tas nuostatas bus amžinas Aaronui ir jo palikuonims”.

9814. And thou shalt make garments of holiness for Aaron thy brother. That this signifies a representative of the spiritual kingdom joined to the celestial kingdom, is evident from the signification of “garments,” as being truths in general, and indeed truths which clothe good (see n. 5954, 9212, 9216). That “garments” denote truths, originates in heaven, where angels appear clothed in garments in accordance with their truths from good (n. 165, 5248, 5954, 9212); from which it can be seen that by the garments of Aaron was represented the spiritual kingdom of the Lord joined to His celestial kingdom. For Aaron represented the Lord as to the Divine celestial (n. 9810); whence the garments joined to him represented the Divine spiritual joined to the celestial kingdom, as a garment is to the body. The Divine spiritual is the Divine truth that proceeds from the Lord’s Divine good; this appears in heaven as light, and moreover, is the light which illumines the external as well as the internal sight of the angels. The modification of this light according to the recipient subjects, which are angels, presents to the sight various phenomena, such as clouds, rainbows, colors, and splendors, of various kinds; and it also presents shining garments about the angels. From this it can be seen that the spiritual kingdom of the Lord was represented by Aaron’s garments of holiness. For there are two kingdoms into which the heavens have been divided, the celestial kingdom and the spiritual kingdom (on which see n. 9277); they who are in the celestial kingdom appear naked, but they who are in the spiritual kingdom appear clothed. From this it is again evident that it is Divine truth, or the Divine spiritual, and which appears as light, that invests or clothes.

[2] But who could possibly believe that within the church, where there is the Word, and the consequent enlightenment about Divine and heavenly things, ignorance so great should reign that it is not known that angels and spirits are in the human form, and appear to themselves as men; and also that they see and hear each other, and converse together; and that it is known still less that they appear clothed in garments. That this is the case falls not only into doubt, but also into total denial, with those who are so much immersed in outward things as to believe that the body alone lives, and that all is nothing which they do not see with the bodily eyes, and touch with the bodily hands (n. 1881); when yet the heavens are full of men, who are angels, and who are clothed in garments of varied resplendence. But nothing of these things can be seen by a man on earth through the eyes of his body; but through the eyes of his spirit, when these are opened by the Lord. The angels who were seen by the ancients, as by Abraham, Sarah, Lot, Jacob, Joshua, Gideon, and also the prophets, were not seen with the eyes of the body, but with the eyes of the spirit, which were then opened. That these angels appeared clothed in garments, is evident from the angels who sat at the Lord’s sepulcher, and were seen in shining white garments by Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James (Matthew 28:3; Mark 16:5; Luke 24:4); and especially is the same thing evident from the Lord Himself when seen in His glory by Peter, James, and John, in that His raiment was then white and glistering, and was like the light (Matthew 17:2; Luke 9:29; by which raiment there was also represented the Divine spiritual, that is, the Divine truth which is from Him.

[3] From this it can be seen what is signified by “white garments” in Revelation:

Thou hast a few names in Sardis which have not defiled their garments, and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white garments (Revelation 3:4-5);

here “garments” denote spiritual truths, which are truths from good (as was shown above); and “white” denotes genuine truth (n. 3301, 4007, 5319). In like manner elsewhere:

I saw heaven open, and behold a white horse, and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True; and in righteousness He doth judge and fight. His armies in heaven followed Him clothed in fine linen, white and clean (Revelation 19:11, 14).

Upon the thrones I saw four and twenty elders, clothed in white garments (Revelation 4:4).

Exodus 29

Studie

   

1 "This is the thing that you shall do to them to make them holy, to minister to me in the priest's office: take one young bull and two rams without blemish,

2 unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil: you shall make them of fine wheat flour.

3 You shall put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bull and the two rams.

4 You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall wash them with water.

5 You shall take the garments, and put on Aaron the coat, the robe of the ephod, the ephod, and the breastplate, and clothe him with the skillfully woven band of the ephod;

6 and you shall set the turban on his head, and put the holy crown on the turban.

7 Then you shall take the anointing oil, and pour it on his head, and anoint him.

8 You shall bring his sons, and put coats on them.

9 You shall clothe them with belts, Aaron and his sons, and bind headbands on them: and they shall have the priesthood by a perpetual statute: and you shall consecrate Aaron and his sons.

10 "You shall bring the bull before the Tent of Meeting: and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the bull.

11 You shall kill the bull before Yahweh, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

12 You shall take of the blood of the bull, and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger; and you shall pour out all the blood at the base of the altar.

13 You shall take all the fat that covers the innards, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and burn them on the altar.

14 But the flesh of the bull, and its skin, and its dung, you shall burn with fire outside of the camp: it is a sin offering.

15 "You shall also take the one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.

16 You shall kill the ram, and you shall take its blood, and sprinkle it around on the altar.

17 You shall cut the ram into its pieces, and wash its innards, and its legs, and put them with its pieces, and with its head.

18 You shall burn the whole ram on the altar: it is a burnt offering to Yahweh; it is a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

19 "You shall take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.

20 Then you shall kill the ram, and take some of its blood, and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and on the tip of the right ear of his sons, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the big toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood around on the altar.

21 You shall take of the blood that is on the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron, and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be made holy, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.

22 Also you shall take some of the ram's fat, the fat tail, the fat that covers the innards, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys, the fat that is on them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram of consecration),

23 and one loaf of bread, one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before Yahweh.

24 You shall put all of this in Aaron's hands, and in his sons' hands, and shall wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh.

25 You shall take them from their hands, and burn them on the altar on the burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma before Yahweh: it is an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

26 "You shall take the breast of Aaron's ram of consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before Yahweh: and it shall be your portion.

27 You shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the thigh of the wave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons:

28 and it shall be for Aaron and his sons as their portion forever from the children of Israel; for it is a wave offering: and it shall be a wave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, even their wave offering to Yahweh.

29 "The holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him, to be anointed in them, and to be consecrated in them.

30 Seven days shall the son who is priest in his place put them on, when he comes into the Tent of Meeting to minister in the holy place.

31 "You shall take the ram of consecration, and boil its flesh in a holy place.

32 Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

33 They shall eat those things with which atonement was made, to consecrate and sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat of it, because they are holy.

34 If anything of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread, remains to the morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.

35 "You shall do so to Aaron, and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded you. You shall consecrate them seven days.

36 Every day you shall offer the bull of sin offering for atonement: and you shall cleanse the altar, when you make atonement for it; and you shall anoint it, to sanctify it.

37 Seven days you shall make atonement for the altar, and sanctify it: and the altar shall be most holy; whatever touches the altar shall be holy.

38 "Now this is that which you shall offer on the altar: two lambs a year old day by day continually.

39 The one lamb you shall offer in the morning; and the other lamb you shall offer at evening:

40 and with the one lamb a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil, and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering.

41 The other lamb you shall offer at evening, and shall do to it according to the meal offering of the morning, and according to its drink offering, for a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

42 It shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the Tent of Meeting before Yahweh, where I will meet with you, to speak there to you.

43 There I will meet with the children of Israel; and the place shall be sanctified by my glory.

44 I will sanctify the Tent of Meeting and the altar: Aaron also and his sons I will sanctify, to minister to me in the priest's office.

45 I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.

46 They shall know that I am Yahweh their God, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among them: I am Yahweh their God.
