Leviticus 16

Studie

   

1 Mirus dviem Aarono sūnums kai jie artinosi prie Viešpaties su svetima ugnimi, Viešpats kalbėjo Mozei:

2 “Sakyk savo broliui Aaronui, kad neitų bet kada į Švenčiausiąją, už uždangos, prie dangčio, esančio ant skrynios, kad nenumirtų, nes Aš pasirodysiu debesyje virš dangčio.

3 Prieš įeidamas jis privalo aukoti veršį aukai už nuodėmę ir aviną deginamajai aukai.

4 Jis apsivilks drobine jupa, užsimaus drobines kelnes, apsijuos drobine juosta, ant galvos užsidės drobinį gobtuvą. Šitie apdarai yra šventi. Prieš apsivilkdamas apsiplaus kūną.

5 Jis ims iš izraelitų du ožius aukai už nuodėmę ir aviną deginamajai aukai.

6 Aaronas aukos veršį aukai už savo nuodėmę ir sutaikins save ir savo namus.

7 Jis pastatys du ožius Viešpaties akivaizdoje prie Susitikimo palapinės įėjimo

8 ir, mesdamas burtus, skirs vieną Viešpačiui, o antrą­išvarymui.

9 Kuriam kris burtas Viešpačiui, tą aukos už nuodėmę;

10 kuris gi skirtas išvarymui, tą statys gyvą Viešpaties akivaizdoje, kad atliktų ant jo sutaikinimą ir išvarytų jį į dykumą.

11 Kai Aaronas paaukos veršį už savo ir savo šeimos nuodėmę,

12 jis ims smilkytuvą, kurį pripildys aukuro žarijomis, į saują paims sumaišytų smilkalų ir, įėjęs į Švenčiausiąją,

13 užpils ant ugnies smilkalų Viešpaties akivaizdoje, kad kvapūs dūmai apdengtų Liudijimo skrynios dangtį ir kad jis nemirtų.

14 Tuomet ims veršio kraują ir savo pirštu septynis kartus pašlakstys prieš dangtį ir septynis kartus ant jo.

15 Paskui aukos ožį už tautos nuodėmę, įneš jo kraują už uždangos, pašlakstys juo septynis kartus prieš dangtį ir septynis kartus ant jo, kaip tai darė su veršio krauju.

16 Taip bus apvalyta Švenčiausioji nuo izraelitų nešvarumo, jų nusikaltimų ir visų nuodėmių. Tą patį darys ir Susitikimo palapinei, kuri stovi tarp jų palapinių.

17 Nė vieno žmogaus neturi būti Susitikimo palapinėje, kai kunigas įeina į Švenčiausiąją atlikti sutaikinimo dėl savęs, savo šeimos ir viso Izraelio.

18 Aaronas, išėjęs prie aukuro, esančio kieme, apvalys jį, veršio ir ožio krauju patepdamas aukuro ragus

19 ir pašlakstydamas aukurą krauju septynis kartus. Taip jį apvalys nuo izraelitų nešvarumo ir pašventins.

20 Kai baigs Švenčiausiosios, Susitikimo palapinės ir aukuro apvalymą, atves gyvąjį ožį

21 ir, uždėjęs jam ant galvos abi rankas, išpažins visas izraelitų nedorybes, visus jų nusikaltimus ir nuodėmes, sukraudamas jas ant ožio galvos. Tada tam skirtas asmuo išves ožį į dykumą.

22 Ir ožys išneš visus jų nusikaltimus ant savęs į negyvenamas vietoves ir bus paleistas dykumoje.

23 Aaronas sugrįš į Susitikimo palapinę, nusivilks apdarus, kuriais buvo apsirengęs, įeidamas į Švenčiausiąją, ir, juos ten palikęs,

24 nuplaus savo kūną šventoje vietoje ir apsivilks savo rūbais. Po to išėjęs aukos savo ir tautos deginamąją auką, atlikdamas sutaikinimą už save ir tautą.

25 Jis degins ant aukuro aukos už nuodėmę taukus.

26 O tas, kuris išvedė išvarymo ožį, plaus savo drabužius ir kūną vandeniu ir tik po to įeis į stovyklą.

27 Veršį ir ožį, kurie buvo paaukoti už nuodėmę ir kurių kraujas buvo įneštas į Švenčiausiąją sutaikinimui, išgabens už stovyklos ir viską sudegins: odas, mėsą ir mėšlą.

28 O tas, kuris tai atliks, plaus savo drabužius ir kūną vandeniu ir tik po to įeis į stovyklą.

29 Tai yra jums amžinas įstatymas. Septinto mėnesio dešimtą dieną varginsite savo sielas ir jokio darbo nedirbsite nei jūs, nei tarp jūsų gyveną ateiviai.

30 Ta diena bus jūsų sutaikinimo ir apsivalymo diena nuo visų nuodėmių Viešpaties akivaizdoje.

31 Tai yra sabatas poilsiui; jūs varginsite savo sielas, vykdydami amžinąjį įstatymą.

32 Jus sutaikins kunigas, pateptas ir pašventintas eiti kunigo tarnystę vietoje savo tėvo. Jis apsivilks drobiniais rūbais, šventaisiais apdarais,

33 apvalys Švenčiausiąją, Susitikimo palapinę ir aukurą, taip pat sutaikins kunigus ir visą tautą.

34 Tai bus jums amžinas įstatymas, kad Izraelio vaikai būtų sutaikinti dėl visų savo nuodėmių vieną kartą per metus”. Jis atliko viską, ką Viešpats buvo įsakęs Mozei.

7601. 'And the flax' means the truth of the exterior natural. This is clear from the meaning of' the flax' as truth, but the truth of the exterior natural, dealt with below. The natural is exterior and interior, see 4570, 5118, 5497, 5649, and therefore the truth and good there are interior and exterior, 3293, 3294. The truth and good of the exterior natural are meant by 'the flax and the barley', and the good and truth of the interior natural by 'the wheat and the spelt'.

[2] This verse and the next deal with the truths and forms of good that were destroyed and laid waste, and the forms of good and truths that were not destroyed or laid waste. Thus they deal with the truths and forms of good that were stored away and placed in safe keeping for [future] use, and those which were not stored away and placed in safe keeping. For when those who are evil undergo vastation, that is, when they are being separated from truths and forms of good and are left with their own evils and falsities, those truths and forms of good that are present in the exterior natural - where they have become linked to falsities and evils - are what are laid waste. These truths and forms of good look downwards and cannot for that reason be safely stored away, as will be seen below in 7604, 7607. But the truths and forms of good of the interior natural are not laid waste but are taken to an even more interior position, where they are held in safe keeping for [future] use. Communication between the interior natural and the exterior is then closed to such an extent that no good or truth at all can pass from there into the exterior natural, apart from just a general kind of communication of them which enables those people to engage in reasoning and put together arguments to lend support to falsities and evils. Those forms of good and truths that are placed in safe keeping are meant in the Word by 'the remnant', dealt with in 468, 530, 560, 561, 576, 661, 798, 1738, 1906, 2284, 5135, 5342, 5344, 5897-5899, 6156, 7556. These then are the things which the two present verses deal with and which are meant by 'the flax and the barley were struck; for the barley was a ripening ear, and the flax a stem', and by 'the wheat and the spelt were not struck because they were hidden'.

[3] The meaning of 'flax' or 'linen' as truth has its origin in representatives in heaven. In heaven those who are guided by the truth of the natural are seen clothed in white, like the whiteness of linen. The actual truth of the natural is also represented there as fabric made from the finer kind of flaxen threads. These threads have the appearance of silken ones, and clothing made from them has a similar appearance - brilliant, wonderfully translucent, and soft - if the truth represented in that way is rooted in good. But on the other hand those threads which look flaxen do not have a translucent, brilliant, or soft appearance, but a hard and brittle appearance, though they are still white, if the truth that is represented in that way is not rooted in good.

[4] From all this one may now recognize what is meant when it says that the angels whom people saw appeared in garments of flax or linen, such as those referred to in John,

Out of the temple came the seven angels having the seven plagues, clothed in linen, white and splendid, and girded around their breasts with golden girdles. Revelation 15:6.

In Daniel,

I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a man clothed in linen whose loins were girded with gold of Uphaz. Daniel 10:5.

In Ezekiel,

Behold, six men coming from the direction of the upper gate, each with a weapon of dispersion in his hand. But one man in the midst of them was clothed in linen and had a writer's inkhorn at his side. 1 Ezekiel 9:2.

More is said about this angel [clothed in linen] in verses 3 and 4 of the same chapter and in Chapter 10:2-7. The same prophet also says, in reference to the angel who measured the new temple, that he had a line of flax and a measuring rod in his hand, Ezekiel 40:ff. Also, the angels who were seen in the Lord's tomb appeared clothed in white, splendid and flashing like lightning, Matthew 28:3; Mark 16:5; Luke 14:4; John 20:11-12.

[5] Since 'linen' or 'flax' meant the truth of the exterior natural, and the exterior natural is what clothes things more internal, that truth is what was represented by the linen garments with which angels were seen to be clothed. It is also meant by the linen garments worn by Aaron whenever he ministered in the Holy Place, spoken of in Moses as follows, When Aaron comes into the Holy Place, he shall put on the holy linen tunic, and gird himself with a linen sash, and place the linen turban on himself. These are holy garments. Leviticus 16:3-4.

Similarly in Ezekiel,

The priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, when they enter the gates of the inner court they shall put on the linen garments, and no wool shall come upon them. When they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within, the linen turbans shall be on their heads, the linen under garments shall be over their loins. Ezekiel 44:17-18.

This is referring to the new temple and the New Jerusalem, which mean the Lord's kingdom. For the same reason also the priests wore linen ephods, 1 Samuel 22:18; when the boy Samuel ministered before the Lord he wore a linen ephod, 1 Samuel 1:18; and David too wore a linen ephod when the ark was brought into his city, 2 Samuel 6:14.

[6] From all this one can also see why the Lord girded Himself with a linen towel when He washed the disciples' feet, and wiped their feet with the linen towel with which He was girded, John 13:4-5. Washing of the feet was a sign of purification from sins, which is accomplished by the truths of faith, since these teach a person how he ought to live.

[7] 'Linen' means truth in the following places too: In Jeremiah,

Jehovah said to the prophet, Go, buy yourself a linen girdle, and place it over your loins; but you are not to pass it through water. Take the girdle, and arise, go away to the Euphrates, and hide it in the cleft of a rock. At the end of many days, when he took the girdle from where he had hidden it, behold, the girdle was spoiled; it was profitable for nothing. Jeremiah 13:1-7.

'The linen girdle over the loins' represented truth arising from good, as it is in the beginning when the Church is established by the Lord, and as it becomes subsequently, when around the end it is has become spoiled and profitable for nothing. In Isaiah,

Those that make linen out of silk threads, and the weavers of curtains, will blush. Isaiah 19:9.

This refers to Egypt. 'Making linen out of silk threads' stands for counterfeiting truths.

[8] In Moses,

You shall not plough with an ox and an ass together. You shall not put on a mingled garment made of wool and linen together. Deuteronomy 22:10-11.

'Ox' means the good of the natural, 'ass' its truth; and much the same is meant by 'wool and linen'. Their being forbidden to plough with an ox and ass together or to put on a mingled garment made of wool and linen together meant that they were forbidden to be in two states at the same time, that is to say, in a state of good from which they looked to truth and at the same time in a state of truth from which they looked to good. These prohibitions embody much the same as those declared by the Lord in Matthew,

Let him who is on the roof of the house not go down to take anything out of his house; and let him who is in the field not turn back to get his clothing. Matthew 24:17-18.

Regarding these prohibitions see 3652 (end). For those who look from good to truth are in the inner part of heaven, whereas those who look from truth to good are in the outer part. The latter look from the world towards heaven, the former from heaven towards the world. Consequently they are in a kind of inverse ratio to each other, and therefore if they were put together the one would destroy the other.
