1 Viešpats kalbėjo Mozei:

2 “Sakyk izraelitams: ‘Jei vyras ar moteris padarys nazarėno įžadą, kad pasišvęstų Viešpačiui,

3 jis susilaikys nuo vyno ir stipraus gėrimo. Negers vynuogių sulčių nei jokio kito gėrimo, kas iš vynuogių išspaudžiama, nevalgys nei šviežių, nei džiovintų vynuogių.

4 Visą laiką, kol yra įžadu pasišventęs Viešpačiui, nevalgys nieko, kas iš vynuogių, net sėklų ar odelės.

5 Padaręs įžadą neskus galvos, kol pasibaigs įžado laikas. Visą savo pasišventimo laiką augins galvos plaukus.

6 Per visą savo įžado laiką nepalies mirusio,

7 net savo tėvu, motina, broliu ar seserimi nesusiteps, jei jie numirtų, nes įžado metu bus pasižadėjęs Dievui.

8 Visą savo įžado laiką jis yra šventas Viešpačiui.

9 Jei kas staiga mirtų šalia jo ir jis susiteptų, tada jis turės nusiskusti galvą septintą, apsivalymo, dieną.

10 Aštuntą dieną atneš du balandžius ar du jaunus karvelius ir prie Susitikimo palapinės paduos juos kunigui.

11 Kunigas vieną jų aukos už nuodėmę, o antrą­deginamąja auka, kad sutaikintų jį, nes jis susitepė mirusiu. Tą dieną jis pakartos įžadą

12 ir atves metinį avinėlį aukai už kaltę. Ankstesnės dienos nebus įskaitytos, nes jo pasišventimas buvo suteptas.

13 Tas yra nazarėno įstatymas. Pasibaigus įžado laikui, jį atves prie Susitikimo palapinės durų,

14 kur jis aukos auką Viešpačiui: metinį sveiką avinėlį deginamajai aukai, metinę sveiką avelę aukai už nuodėmę ir sveiką aviną padėkos aukai,

15 taip pat apšlakstytą aliejumi neraugintos duonos pintinę, neraugintų bandelių, apteptų aliejumi, ir geriamąją auką.

16 Kunigas aukos Viešpačiui auką už nuodėmę ir deginamąją auką.

17 Aviną aukos kaip padėkos auką Viešpačiui, kartu su neraugintos duonos pintine ir geriamąja auka.

18 Tada prie Susitikimo palapinės durų nuskus nazarėnui plaukus; ir kunigas jo plaukus sudegins su padėkos auka.

19 Kunigas, paėmęs išvirtą avino petį, vieną neraugintą bandelę iš pintinės bei neraugintą paplotį, įdės į nazarėno rankas po to, kai jo galva bus nuskusta.

20 Paskui, paėmęs iš nazarėno rankų, jis siūbuos viską Viešpaties akivaizdoje. Visi pašvęstieji daiktai priklausys kunigui. Po to nazarėnas galės gerti vyną.

21 Toks yra nazarėno, kuris davė įžadą, įstatymas ir auka Viešpačiui, neskaičiuojant to, ką jis aukos pagal savo įžadą, kad išpildytų pasišventimo įstatymą’ ”.

22 Viešpats kalbėjo Mozei:

23 “Pasakyk Aaronui ir jo sūnums laiminti izraelitus tokiais žodžiais:

24 ‘Viešpats telaimina ir tesaugoja tave.

25 Viešpats teparodo tau savo veidą ir tebūna tau maloningas.

26 Viešpats teatgręžia savo veidą į tave ir tesuteikia tau ramybę’.

27 Jie šauksis mano vardo izraelitams, ir Aš juos laiminsiu”.

341. Verse 13. And every created thing that is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and those that are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Unto Him that sitteth upon the throne and unto the Lamb, be the blessing and the honor and the glory and the might unto the ages of the ages.

13. "And every created thing that is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and those that are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying" signifies the acknowledgment and consequent glorification of the Lord by the angels that are in the lowest parts of heaven n. 342; "Unto Him that sitteth upon the throne and unto the Lamb" signifies the Lord in respect to Divine good and Divine truth n. 343; "blessing" signifies acknowledgment, glorification, and thanksgiving that all good and truth, and thence heaven and eternal happiness, are for those who receive (n. 344); "and the honor and the glory," signifies that to Him alone belongs every Divine good and Divine truth, and therefore, every good of love and truth of faith, from which is all the wisdom and intelligence that angels and men have (n. 345); "and the might unto the ages of the ages," signifies that to Him belongs omnipotence to eternity (n. 346).

Arcana Coelestia # 3373

3373. 'And to your seed' means truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'seed' as truth, dealt with in 29, 255, 1025, 1447, 1610, 1940, 2848, 3310, and so truth from the Lord's Divine, which is 'your seed'. Those who understand the Word solely according to the sense of the letter can know no more than this, that 'seed' means descendants - here Isaac's descendants through Esau and Jacob, primarily through Jacob since the Word existed among that nation and so many of its historical descriptions have to do with them. But in the internal sense 'seed' is not used to mean any descendants from Isaac but all who are the Lord's 'sons', and so who are 'the sons of His kingdom', or what amounts to the same, those in whom good and truth which come from the Lord are present. And as these constitute 'the seed' it follows that good and truth themselves from the Lord are 'the seed', for these are what make people His 'sons'. This is also the reason why truths themselves which come from the Lord are called 'the sons of the kingdom' in Matthew,

He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man, the field is the world, the seed are the sons of the kingdom. Matthew 13:37-38.

And for this reason also 'sons' generally means truths, 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2623.

[2] Anyone who thinks rather more deeply or inwardly may recognize that the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, mentioned so many times, and spoken of so many times as those who were to be blessed, and more so than all nations and peoples in all the world, cannot in the Divine Word mean the descendants of those three. For among all nations they least of all were moved by the good that flows from love to the Lord and from charity towards the neighbour. Nor indeed did any truth of faith exist with them. Who the Lord is, what His kingdom is, and so what heaven is and what the life after death, they did not know at all. They did not know these things because for one thing they did not wish to know and for another because if they had come to know about them they would have denied them completely in their hearts and so would have profaned interior goods and truths, as they did exterior by becoming on so many occasions open idolaters. This is the reason why any interior truths are rarely visible in the literal sense of the Old Testament Word. Because the nature of those people was such, the Lord therefore said about them, quoting Isaiah,

He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they see with their eyes and understand with their heart, and are converted and I heal them. John 12:40.

What He said about them when they declared they were 'the seed of Abraham',

They said, We are the seed of Abraham. Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them, If you were Abraham's sons, you would do the works of Abraham. You are from your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will to do. John 8:33, 39, 44.

Here also 'Abraham' is used to mean the Lord, as in every other instance in the Word. The Lord explicitly states that they were not His seed or sons but came from the devil. From this it is quite evident that 'the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob' in both the historical part and the prophetical part of the Word is in no way used to mean such descendants, for the Word is Divine in every detail Instead it means all who constitute 'the Lord's seed', that is, those with whom the good and truth of faith in Him are present. The fact that heavenly seed, that is, all good and truth, comes from the Lord alone, see 1438, 1614, 2016, 2803, 2882, 2883, 2891, 2892, 2904, 3195.
