1 “Tai darysi, kad įšventintum juos būti mano kunigais. Imk iš bandos veršį ir du avinus be trūkumų,

2 neraugintos duonos ir nerauginto ragaišio, suvilgyto aliejumi, taip pat neraugintų papločių, apipiltų aliejumi. Visa tai pagaminsi iš kvietinių miltų.

3 Sudėjęs juos į pintinę, atneši pintinėje kartu su veršiu ir dviem avinais.

4 Aaroną ir jo sūnus pastatysi prie Susitikimo palapinės įėjimo ir apiplausi juos vandeniu.

5 Paimsi drabužius ir apvilksi Aaroną drobine jupa, tunika, efodu, uždėsi krūtinės skydelį ir sujuosi juosta.

6 Jam ant galvos uždėsi kunigišką mitrą, o ant jos šventąją plokštelę,

7 tada paimsi patepimo aliejų ir išpilsi ant jo galvos, jį patepdamas.

8 Pakvietęs Aarono sūnus, apvilksi juos drobinėmis jupomis,

9 apjuosi juostomis, uždėsi kunigiškus gobtuvus, ir jie tarnaus man kunigais per amžius. Ir tu pašventinsi Aaroną ir jo sūnus.

10 Atvesi veršį ties Susitikimo palapine, Aaronas ir jo sūnūs uždės jam ant galvos rankas.

11 Jį papjausi Viešpaties akivaizdoje prie Susitikimo palapinės įėjimo.

12 Ėmęs veršio kraujo, patepsi savo pirštu aukuro ragus, likusį kraują išliesi prie jo papėdės.

13 Imsi visus vidurių taukus, kepenų tinklelį, abu inkstus, jų taukus ir sudeginsi juos ant aukuro.

14 Veršio mėsą, odą ir mėšlus sudeginsi lauke už stovyklos, nes tai yra auka už nuodėmę.

15 Imsi taip pat aviną, ant kurio galvos Aaronas ir jo sūnūs uždės rankas.

16 Jį papjovęs, jo kraują šlakstysi aplink aukurą.

17 Patį aviną sukaposi į gabalus, apiplausi jo vidurius ir kojas ir uždėsi kartu su mėsos gabalais ir galva ant aukuro.

18 Sudeginsi ant aukuro visą aviną; tai yra deginamoji auka, malonus kvapas Viešpačiui.

19 Imsi ir kitą aviną, ant kurio galvos Aaronas ir jo sūnūs uždės rankas.

20 Jį papjovęs, jo krauju patepsi Aarono ir jo sūnų dešinę ausį, dešinės rankos nykštį ir didįjį dešinės kojos pirštą, likusį kraują šlakstysi aplink aukurą.

21 Krauju nuo aukuro ir patepimo aliejumi apšlakstysi Aaroną ir jo rūbus, sūnus ir jų rūbus; ir bus pašventintas jis, jo drabužiai, jo sūnūs ir sūnų drabužiai.

22 Tada imsi avino taukus, uodegą, taukus, dengiančius vidurius, kepenų tinklelį, abu inkstus su jų taukais ir dešinį petį, nes tai yra įšventinimo avinas,

23 vieną duonos kepalą, aliejumi apšlakstytą ragaišį, paplotį iš neraugintos duonos pintinės, padėtos Viešpaties akivaizdoje,

24 ir viską padėjęs ant Aarono ir jo sūnų rankų pašventinsi, siūbuodamas Viešpaties akivaizdoje.

25 Visa tai paimsi iš jų rankų ir sudeginsi ant aukuro kaip malonaus kvapo deginamąją auką Viešpačiui.

26 Iš avino, kuriuo bus įšventintas Aaronas, paimsi krūtinę ir ją pasiūbuosi Viešpaties akivaizdoje; tai bus tavo dalis.

27 Pašventinsi aukos krūtinę ir petį, kuriuos atskyrei iš avino Aaronui ir jo sūnums.

28 Tai bus Aarono ir jo sūnų amžinoji dalis iš izraelitų, nes tai yra padėkos aukos, kurias Izraelio sūnūs atneša Viešpačiui.

29 Šventą apdarą, kuriuo naudosis Aaronas, paveldės jo sūnūs, kad jame būtų įšventinti ir patepti.

30 Septynias dienas juo vilkės tas jo sūnus, kuris jo vieton bus paskirtas kunigu, kuris eis į Susitikimo palapinę tarnauti šventykloje.

31 Įšventinimo avino mėsą išvirsi šventoje vietoje.

32 Aaronas ir jo sūnūs valgys ją ir pintinėje esančią duoną Susitikimo palapinės kieme.

33 Ir jie valgys tai, kad būtų atliktas sutaikinimas, kad jie būtų pašvęsti ir įšventinti. Niekas kitas negali to valgyti, nes tai šventa.

34 O jei liktų pašvęstos mėsos ar duonos ligi ryto, liekanas sudeginsi; jų valgyti negalima, nes jos šventos.

35 Visa, ką tau įsakiau, padarysi Aaronui ir jo sūnums. Septynias dienas šventinsi juos

36 ir už nuodėmę kasdien aukosi veršį. Paaukojęs sutaikinimo auką, apvalysi aukurą, patepsi jį ir vėl pašventinsi.

37 Septynias dienas aukosi sutaikinimo auką ir šventinsi aukurą. Jis bus labai šventas aukuras. Kiekvienas, prie jo prisilietęs, taps šventas.

38 Štai ką aukosi ant aukuro: kasdien aukosi du metinius avinėlius­

39 vieną avinėlį rytą, antrą vakare.

40 Kartu su vienu avinėliu paimsi dešimtą dalį efos miltų, sumaišysi juos su ketvirtadaliu hino aliejaus ir paimsi ketvirtadalį hino vyno geriamajai aukai.

41 Kitą gi avinėlį aukosi vakare tuo pačiu būdu, kaip ir rytą, kartu su geriamąja auka, kad būtų malonus aukos kvapas Viešpačiui.

42 Tai deginamoji auka Viešpačiui, aukojama amžinai per kartų kartas prie Susitikimo palapinės įėjimo Viešpaties akivaizdoje. Čia Aš susitiksiu su tavimi ir kalbėsiu tau.

43 Ir čia Aš susitiksiu su izraelitais ir pašventinsiu palapinę savo šlove.

44 Pašventinsiu Susitikimo palapinę, aukurą ir Aaroną su jo sūnumis, kad jie būtų man kunigais.

45 Aš gyvensiu tarp izraelitų ir būsiu jų Dievas.

46 Jie žinos, kad Aš­Viešpats, jų Dievas, kuris juos išvedžiau iš Egipto žemės, kad gyvenčiau tarp jų. Aš Viešpats, jų Dievas”.

10153. 'And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel' means the Lord's presence and His influx through good in heaven and in the Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'dwelling', when this is said of the Lord, as His being present and flowing in, His doing so through Divine Good being meant because 'dwelling' has reference to good, see 2268, 2451, 2712, 3613, 8269, 8309, which is why the words 'in the midst' are used, because 'the midst' means what is inmost, and that which is inmost is good (for this meaning of 'the midst', see 2940, 2973, 5897, 6084, 6103); and from the representation of 'the children of Israel' as the Church, dealt with in 9340.

[2] The reason why 'dwelling in the midst', when said of the Lord, means His presence and influx through Divine Good is that the Lord flows into and is present with a person in the good he receives from the Lord. Good composes the person's true self, for everyone's character is conditioned by his good. By good, love should be understood, since anything that is loved is called good. The fact that a person's love or good makes him what he is may be recognized by anyone at all who observes what another is like; for having observed him he can direct him by means of his love wherever he wishes him to go, so much so that when that other person is held under the sway of his own love he is no longer his own master, and reasons which disagree with his love count for nothing with him, while those which collude with his love count for everything.

[3] The truth of this is also plainly evident in the next life. All spirits there are recognized by their loves, and when they are held under the sway of those loves they cannot act in any way contrary to them; for if they act contrary to those loves they act contrary to themselves. They are therefore embodiments of their loves, those in the heavens being embodiments of heavenly love and charity, so beautiful that they are beyond description, whereas those in the hells are embodiments of their own loves, namely self-love and love of the world, and are consequently embodiments also of hatred and vengeance, thus are monsters so awful that they defy description.

[4] Since therefore a person's love makes him altogether what he is, it is evident that the Lord cannot be present in a person's love if it is evil, only in a person's love that is good, thus in his good. People think that the Lord is present in truth called the truth of faith; but He is not present in truth devoid of good. Where good exists however He is present in truth through that good; and He is present in truth to the extent that it leads to good and to the extent that it emanates from good. Truth devoid of good cannot be said to be within a person; it is merely in his memory, residing there as factual knowledge which does not enter the person and form part of him until it becomes part of his life. It becomes part of his life when he loves it, and in love lives in accord with it. When this happens the Lord dwells with him, as also the Lord teaches in John,

He who has My commandments and does them, he it is who loves Me, and I will love him and will manifest Myself to him. And My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. John 14:21, 23.

'Manifesting Himself' means enlightening with the truths of faith from the Word; 'coming to him' means being present; and 'making Their home with him' means dwelling in his good.

2973. 'Which was in all its borders round about' means exterior cognitions. This is clear from the meaning of 'borders' and of 'round about' as things that are exterior, dealt with in 2936. Thus here '[every] tree which was in the borders round about' means exterior cognitions. Exterior cognitions have to do with the religious observances and matters of doctrine which constitute the external things of the Church, whereas interior cognitions have to do with matters of doctrine which constitute the internal things of the Church. What the external things of the Church are, and what the internal, has been stated several times already.

[2] Furthermore in various places in the Word mention is made of the middle or the midst and of the regions encircling it, as when the land of Canaan is referred to, 'the middle' is used to describe where Zion and Jerusalem are, while the areas encircling describe where the nations are who are round about. 'The land of Canaan' represented the Lord's kingdom, 'Zion' the celestial part of it and 'Jerusalem' the spiritual, and there Jehovah or the Lord had His dwelling-place. The things that were round about, even to the borders, represented celestial and spiritual things spread out and derived in order from there. Where the furthest boundaries lay, there the representatives of celestial and spiritual things ended. Those representatives had their origin in the things that existed in the Lord's kingdom in heaven, where the Lord as the Sun is in the middle, from where all celestial flame and spiritual light radiate. Those nearest to Him dwell in the brightest light, while those who are more remote dwell in less light, and those who are the most remote in the least bright. At this point lie the borders where hell, which is outside heaven, begins.

[3] With celestial flame and spiritual light the position is that the existence of celestial things which are forms of innocence and love, and spiritual things which are forms of charity and faith, is proportional to the heat and light that is received, for those things are the source of all heat and light in heaven. This then is why 'the middle' means that which is inmost, and the encircling regions that which is outermost; and the spacing of the things that radiate in order from the inmost to the outermost is determined by their degree of innocence, love and charity. It is similar with each individual community of heaven. Those members in the middle are the best of its kind, and the love and charity of that kind becomes correspondingly less as these become more remote, that is, as such love and charity exist with members away from the middle.

[4] It is also similar with man. The inmost part of him is where the Lord resides with him, and from there governs the outlying parts. When a person permits the Lord to bring order to the outlying parts so that these correspond to the inmost parts, his state is such that he can be received into heaven, and the inmost, the interior, and the external parts of him act as one. But if the person does not permit the Lord to bring order to those outlying parts so that they correspond, he moves away from heaven, as far away as he is from permitting the Lord to bring that order to them. The fact that man's soul resides in the middle or inmost part of his being and the body in the outlying region or outermost parts is well known, for the body is that which surrounds and clothes his soul or spirit.

[5] With those in whom celestial and spiritual love reigns, good from the Lord flows in by way of the soul into the body, as a consequence of which the body becomes full of light, but with those in whom bodily and worldly love reigns, good from the Lord cannot flow in by way of the soul into the body. Instead their interiors are engulfed in darkness, as a consequence of which the body too becomes full of darkness, according to the Lord's own teaching in Matthew,

The lamp of the body is the eye. If the eye is sound, the whole body is full of light. If the eye is evil, the whole body is full of darkness. If therefore the light is darkness, how great is the darkness! Matthew 6:22-23.

'The eye' means the understanding part, which belongs in the soul, 2701.

[6] But matters are worse still with people whose interiors are 'darkness' while their exteriors seem to be 'full of light'. They are such as outwardly pretend to be angels of light but inwardly they are devils. They are referred to as 'Babel'. These people, when the things that are round about are destroyed, are carried headfirst into hell. This was represented by the city of Jericho whose walls fell down, and the city was given to destruction, after the priests had gone round it seven times with the ark, and had sounded their trumpets, Joshua 6:1-17. The same is meant in Jeremiah,

Set yourselves against Babel round about, all you who bend the bow. Raise a shout over her round about, she has given her hand, her foundations have fallen, her walls have been destroyed. Jeremiah 50:14-15.

From this it is now evident what 'round about' means. Reference is also made several times in the Word to 'the encircling regions', as in Jeremiah 21:14; 46:14; 49:5; Ezekiel 36:3-4, 7; 37:21; Amos 3:11; and elsewhere. By 'the encircling regions' is meant the things that are exterior, concerning which, in the Lord's Divine mercy, more will be said elsewhere.
