1 και ειπεν κυριος προς μωυσην λεγων ειπον τοις ιερευσιν τοις υιοις ααρων και ερεις προς αυτους εν ταις ψυχαις ου μιανθησονται εν τω εθνει αυτων

2 αλλ' η εν τω οικειω τω εγγιστα αυτων επι πατρι και μητρι και υιοις και θυγατρασιν επ' αδελφω

3 και επ' αδελφη παρθενω τη εγγιζουση αυτω τη μη εκδεδομενη ανδρι επι τουτοις μιανθησεται

4 ου μιανθησεται εξαπινα εν τω λαω αυτου εις βεβηλωσιν αυτου

5 και φαλακρωμα ου ξυρηθησεσθε την κεφαλην επι νεκρω και την οψιν του πωγωνος ου ξυρησονται και επι τας σαρκας αυτων ου κατατεμουσιν εντομιδας

6 αγιοι εσονται τω θεω αυτων και ου βεβηλωσουσιν το ονομα του θεου αυτων τας γαρ θυσιας κυριου δωρα του θεου αυτων αυτοι προσφερουσιν και εσονται αγιοι

7 γυναικα πορνην και βεβηλωμενην ου λημψονται και γυναικα εκβεβλημενην απο ανδρος αυτης αγιος εστιν τω κυριω θεω αυτου

8 και αγιασει αυτον τα δωρα κυριου του θεου υμων ουτος προσφερει αγιος εσται οτι αγιος εγω κυριος ο αγιαζων αυτους

9 και θυγατηρ ανθρωπου ιερεως εαν βεβηλωθη του εκπορνευσαι το ονομα του πατρος αυτης αυτη βεβηλοι επι πυρος κατακαυθησεται

10 και ο ιερευς ο μεγας απο των αδελφων αυτου του επικεχυμενου επι την κεφαλην του ελαιου του χριστου και τετελειωμενου ενδυσασθαι τα ιματια την κεφαλην ουκ αποκιδαρωσει και τα ιματια ου διαρρηξει

11 και επι παση ψυχη τετελευτηκυια ουκ εισελευσεται επι πατρι αυτου ουδε επι μητρι αυτου ου μιανθησεται

12 και εκ των αγιων ουκ εξελευσεται και ου βεβηλωσει το ηγιασμενον του θεου αυτου οτι το αγιον ελαιον το χριστον του θεου επ' αυτω εγω κυριος

13 ουτος γυναικα παρθενον εκ του γενους αυτου λημψεται

14 χηραν δε και εκβεβλημενην και βεβηλωμενην και πορνην ταυτας ου λημψεται αλλ' η παρθενον εκ του γενους αυτου λημψεται γυναικα

15 και ου βεβηλωσει το σπερμα αυτου εν τω λαω αυτου εγω κυριος ο αγιαζων αυτον

16 και ελαλησεν κυριος προς μωυσην λεγων

17 ειπον ααρων ανθρωπος εκ του γενους σου εις τας γενεας υμων τινι εαν η εν αυτω μωμος ου προσελευσεται προσφερειν τα δωρα του θεου αυτου

18 πας ανθρωπος ω αν η εν αυτω μωμος ου προσελευσεται ανθρωπος χωλος η τυφλος η κολοβορριν η ωτοτμητος

19 η ανθρωπος ω εστιν εν αυτω συντριμμα χειρος η συντριμμα ποδος

20 η κυρτος η εφηλος η πτιλος τους οφθαλμους η ανθρωπος ω αν η εν αυτω ψωρα αγρια η λιχην η μονορχις

21 πας ω εστιν εν αυτω μωμος εκ του σπερματος ααρων του ιερεως ουκ εγγιει του προσενεγκειν τας θυσιας τω θεω σου οτι μωμος εν αυτω τα δωρα του θεου ου προσελευσεται προσενεγκειν

22 τα δωρα του θεου τα αγια των αγιων και απο των αγιων φαγεται

23 πλην προς το καταπετασμα ου προσελευσεται και προς το θυσιαστηριον ουκ εγγιει οτι μωμον εχει και ου βεβηλωσει το αγιον του θεου αυτου οτι εγω ειμι κυριος ο αγιαζων αυτους

24 και ελαλησεν μωυσης προς ααρων και τους υιους αυτου και προς παντας υιους ισραηλ

2362. That 'behold now, I have two daughters, who have not known a man' means the affections for good and for truth is clear from the meaning of 'daughters' as affections, dealt with in 489-491. 'They have not known a man' means that they have not been defiled by falsity, for 'a man' means rational truth, and also in the contrary sense falsity, 265, 749, 1007. There are two types of affection, namely the affection for good and the affection for truth, see 1997. The first - the affection for good - constitutes the celestial church and in the Word is called 'the daughter of Zion' and also 'the virgin daughter of Zion'.

[2] But the second - the affection for truth - constitutes the spiritual church, and in the Word is called 'the daughter of Jerusalem'; as in Isaiah,

She has despised you, she has scorned you, the virgin daughter of Zion; she wags her head behind you, the daughter of Jerusalem. Isaiah 37:22; 2 Kings 19:21.

In Jeremiah,

What shall I liken you to, O daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I equate you with and comfort you, O virgin daughter of Zion? Lamentations 2:13.

In Micah,

You, O tower of the flock, hill of the daughter of Zion, to you will it come and the former dominion will come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem. Micah 4:8.

In Zephaniah,

Shout with joy, O daughter of Zion! Make a noise, O Israel! Rejoice and exult with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem! Zephaniah 3:14.

In Zechariah,

Exult greatly, O daughter of Zion! Make a noise, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king will come to you. Zechariah 9:9; Matthew 21:5; John 12:15.

[3] That the celestial Church, which is the Lord's celestial kingdom, is called 'the daughter of Zion' from the affection for good, that is, from love to the Lord Himself, see in addition Isaiah 10:32; 16:1; 52:2; 62:11; Jeremiah 4:31; 6:2, 23; Lamentations 1:6; 2:1, 4, 8, 10; Micah 4:10, 13; Zechariah 2:10; Psalms 9:14. And that the spiritual Church, which is the Lord's spiritual kingdom, is called 'the daughter of Jerusalem' from the affection for truth and so from charity towards the neighbour, see Lamentations 2:15. Both of those Churches, and the nature of each one, have been dealt with many times in Volume One.

[4] Because the celestial Church exists from love to the Lord which is present within love towards the neighbour it is likened in particular to an unmarried daughter or a virgin. Indeed it is also called 'a virgin', as in John,

These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins; these are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes; for they are spotless before God's throne. Revelation 14:4-5.

And so that the same might be represented in the Jewish Church, the priests were commanded not to marry widows but virgins, Leviticus 21:13-15; Ezekiel 44:22.

[5] From the contents of the present verse it becomes clear how pure the Word is in the internal sense, however else it may appear in the letter. For when these words are read, 'Behold now, I have two daughters, who have not known a man; let me now bring them out to you and you may do to them as is good in your eyes; only do nothing to those men', nothing else comes to mind than something impure, especially to those leading an evil life. Yet how chaste these words are in the internal sense is evident from the explanation already given, which is that they mean the affections for good and truth and the blessedness perceived from the enjoyment of those affections by people who do no violence to the Lord's Divinity and [proceeding] Holiness.
