1 И возьми къ себј Аарона брата своего, и сыновъ его съ нимъ, отъ среды сыновъ Израилевыхъ, чтобы поставили ихъ во священники мнј: Аарона, Надава, и Авіуда, Елеазара и Иѕамара, сыновъ Аароновыхъ.

2 И сдјлай священныя одежды Аарону брату твоему для славы и красоты.

3 Что касается до тебя, поговори со всјми мудрыми сердцемъ, которыхъ Я исполнилъ духомъ премудрости, чтобъ они сдјлали Аарону одежды, для посвященія его во священники Мнј.

4 Вотъ одежды, которыя должны они сдјлать: наперсникъ и ефодъ, и верхняя риза, и хитонъ стяжной, кидаръ и поясъ. Итакъ пусть сдјлаютъ священныя одежды Аарону брату твоему, и сынамъ его, для поставленія во священники Мнј.

5 Пусть они возмутъ золота, пряжи яхонтоваго, и пурпуроваго и червленнаго цвјта, и виссона.

6 И сдјлаютъ ефодъ изъ золота, изъ пряжи яхонтоваго, пурпуроваго и червленнаго цвјта, и изъ крученаго впссона, искусною работою.

7 У него должны быть на обоихъ краяхъ его два нарамника связывающіе, чтобъ онъ былъ связанъ.

8 И поясъ ефода, который поверхъ его, одинаковой съ нимъ работы долженъ быть изъ золота, изъ пряжи яхонтоваго, и пурпуроваго и червленнаго цвјта, и крученаго виссона.

9 И возьми два камня оникса, и вырјжь на нихъ имена сыновъ Израилевыхъ.

10 Шесть именъ ихъ на одномъ камнј, и Шесть именъ остальныхъ на другомъ камнј, по порядку рожденія ихъ.

11 Работою вырјзывающаго на камнј, какъ вырјзываютъ печать, вырјжь на двухъ камняхъ имена сыновъ Израилевыхъ; и вставь оные въ золотыя гнјзда.

12 И положи два камня сіи на нарамникахъ ефода; это камни въ память сыновъ Израилевыхъ; и будетъ носить Ааронъ имена ихъ предъ Іегову на објихъ раменахъ своихъ, въ память.

13 И сдјлай гнјзда изъ золота.

14 И двј цјпочки изъ чистаго золота; сдјлай толстыя работою витою, и прикрјпи витыя цјпочки къ гнјздамъ,

15 Сдјлай наперсникъ суда искусною работою; сдјлай его такою же работою, какъ ефодъ, изъ золота, изъ пряжн яхонтоваго и пурпуроваго и червленаго цвјта, и изъ крученаго виссона сдјлай его.

16 Онъ долженъ быть четыреугольный, двойный, въ пядень длиною, и въ пядень шириною.

17 И положи иа немъ оправленные камни въ четыре ряда. Рядомъ: рубинъ, топазъ, и изумрудъ: это одинъ рядъ.

18 Во второмъ ряду: карбункулъ, сапфиръ и алмазъ.

19 Въ третьемъ ряду: яхонтъ, агатъ и аметистъ.

20 Въ четвертомъ ряду: хрисолитъ, и ониксъ и ясписъ: они должиы бытъ оправлены золотомъ въ ихъ гнјздахъ.

21 Сихъ камней, по именамъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ, должно быть двјнадцать, по именамъ ихъ; на каждомъ какъ на печати должно быть вырјзано по одному имени изъ числа двјнадцати колјнъ.

22 Къ наперснику сдјлай толстыя цјпочки витою работою изъ чистаго золота.

23 И сдјлай къ наперснику два кольца золотыхъ, и прикрјпи два кольца къ двумъ краямъ наперсника.

24 И вдјнь двј цјпочки золотыя въ два кольца по краямъ наперсника.

25 А два кольца двухъ цјпочекъ прикрјпи къ двумъ гнјздамъ, и прикрјпи къ нарамникамъ ефода съ лицевой стороны его.

26 Еще сдјлай два кольца золотыхъ и прикрјпи ихъ къ двумъ другимъ краямъ наперсника, на той сторонј, которая лежитъ къ ефоду внутръ:

27 Также сдјлай два кольца золотыхъ и прикрјпи ихъ къ двумъ нарамникамъ ефода снизу, съ лицевой стороны его, у соединенія его, надъ поясомъ ефода.

28 И прикрјпятъ наперсникъ кольцами его къ кольцамъ ефода посредствомъ шнура яхонтоваго цвјта, чтобы онъ былъ надъ поясомъ ефода, и чтобы не спадалъ наперсникъ съ ефода.

29 И будетъ носить Ааронъ имена сыновъ Израилевыхъ на наперсникј суда у сердца своего, входя во святилище, въ непрестанную память предъ Іеговою.

30 И возложи на наперсникъ суда уримъ и туммимъ, и будутъ они у сердца Ааронова, когда ему входить предъ лице Іеговы: и будетъ Ааронъ всегда носить судъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ у сердца своего предъ лице Іеговы.

31 И сдјлай верхнюю ризу къ ефоду всю яхонтоваго цвјта.

32 Среди ея должно быть отверстіе для головы; у отверстія ея вокругъ должна быть обшивка тканая, подобно какъ у отверстія брони, чтобы не дралось.

33 По подолу ея сдјлай гранатовыя яблоки изъ нитей яхонтоваго, пурпуроваго и червленаго цвјта, вокругъ по подолу ея, и позвонки золотые между нимп кругомъ.

34 Черезъ рядъ золотой позвонокъ и яблоко, золотой позвонокъ и яблоко по подолу верхней ризы кругомъ.

35 Она будетъ на Ааронј въ служеніи; дабы слышенъ былъ отъ него звукъ, когда онъ входитъ во святилище предъ лице Іеговы, и когда выходитъ, чтобы ему не умереть.

36 И сдјлай полированную дщицу изъ золота чистаго, и вырјжь на ней, какъ вырјзываютъ на печати: Святыня Іеговј.

37 И прикрјпи оную шнуромъ яхонтоваго цвјта къ кидару, такъ чтобы она была на передней сторонј кидара.

38 Она будетъ на челј Аароновомъ; и понесетъ на себј Ааронъ недостатки святынь, какія будутъ посвящать сыны Израилевы, и всјхъ даровъ, посвяшаемыхъ ими; она будетъ непрестанно на челј его, въ благоволеніе имъ предъ Іеговою.

39 И стяни хитонъ виссономъ; также сдјлай кидаръ изъ виссона, и сдјлай поясъ узорчатой работы.

40 Сдјлай и сынамъ Аароновымъ хитоны, сдјлай имъ поясы, сдјлай также имъ шапки для славы и красоты.

41 И облеки въ оныя Аарона брата твоего и сыновъ его съ нимъ, и помажь ихъ, и наполни руки ихъ и посвяти ихъ, и они будутъ священниками Мнј.

42 И сдјлай имъ нижнее платье льняное для прикрытія наготы тјлесной, отъ чреслъ до голеней.

43 И да будутъ оныя на Ааронј и на сынахъ его, когда имъ входить въ скинію собранія, или приступать къ жертвеннику для служенія во святилищј, чтобы имъ не навести грјха на себя, и не умереть. Это постановленіе вјчное для него и для потомковъ его по немъ.

Apocalypse Revealed # 778

778. "And wine, oil, flour, wheat." This symbolically means that these Roman Catholics no longer have any worship that springs from celestial truths and goods, because they have nothing inwardly in their worship that corresponds to the aforesaid things.

This statement is similar to ones explained just above and in previous numbers, the only difference being that the valuables here symbolize celestial goods and truths.

Just what goods and truths are called celestial, and what spiritual, may be seen in no. 773 above. It may also be seen that the Roman Catholics meant here possess none of these, nor are there any in their worship. For, as we said above, the goods and truths of doctrine are present in worship as the soul is in the body. Consequently worship without these is a lifeless worship. Of such a character is worship that is reverent in outward appearances, but which has in it no internal reverence.

That wine symbolizes truth springing from the goodness of love may be seen in no. 316 above. That oil symbolizes the goodness of love will be seen in the next number. Flour symbolizes celestial truth, and wheat symbolizes celestial good.

[2] Wine, oil, flour and wheat symbolize the truths and goods in worship, because they were the ingredients in drink offerings and grain offerings, which were offered on the altar along with other sacrifices, and sacrifices and other offerings offered on the altar symbolize worship, since it was in these that the Israelites' worship chiefly consisted.

That drink offerings, which were ones of wine, were offered on the altar along with other sacrifices, can be seen in Exodus 29:40; Leviticus 23:12-13, 18-19; Numbers 15:2-15; 28:11-15, 18-31; 29:1-7ff.; and also in Isaiah 57:6; 65:11; Jeremiah 7:18; 44:17-19; Ezekiel 20:28; Joel 1:9; Psalms 16:4; Deuteronomy 32:38.

That oil was also offered on the altar along with sacrifices, can be seen in Exodus 29:40.

That grain offerings, which consisted of wheat flour, were offered on the altar along with other sacrifices, can be seen in Exodus 29:40).

It can be seen from this that these four articles - wine, oil, flour and wheat - were sacred and celestial elements in their worship.

Apocalypse Revealed # 316

/ 962  
  

316. "And do not harm the oil and the wine." This symbolizes the Lord's provision that they not violate and profane the goods and truths concealed inwardly in the Word.

Oil symbolizes the goodness of love, and wine the truth springing from that goodness. Thus the oil here symbolizes sacred goodness, and the wine sacred truth. The Lord's provision that these not be violated and profaned is symbolized by the people's being told not to harm them. For this instruction came from the midst of the four living creatures, thus from the Lord (no. 314). Whatever the Lord says He also provides. That this is something He provides may be seen in nos. 314 and 255 above.

That oil symbolizes the goodness of love - this we will see in nos. 778, 779 below.

That wine symbolizes the truth springing from that goodness is clear from the following passages:

Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat. Yes..., buy wine and milk without money... (Isaiah 55:1)

It shall come to pass in that day that the mountains will drip new wine, and the hills flow with milk... (Joel 3:18, cf. Amos 9:13-14)

Joy is taken away... from Carmel, and in the vineyards there will be no singing... No treaders will tread out wine in the presses; I have made their shouting cease. (Isaiah 16:10, cf. Jeremiah 48:32-33)

Carmel symbolizes the spiritual church, because it had vineyards there.

[2] ...wail, all you drinkers of wine, because of the new wine, for it has been cut off from your mouth... The vinedressers have wailed... (Joel 1:5, 10-11)

Almost the same images occur in Hosea 9:2-3.

He washes his clothing in wine, and His vesture in the blood of grapes. His eyes are red with wine... (Genesis 49:11-12)

The subject is the Lord, and the wine symbolizes Divine truth. That is why the Lord instituted the Holy Supper, in which the bread symbolizes the Lord in respect to Divine good, and the wine the Lord in respect to Divine truth; and in their recipients the bread symbolizes a sacred goodness, and the wine sacred truth, received from the Lord. Therefore He said,

I say to you, that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you... in My Father's kingdom. (Matthew 26:29, cf. Luke 22:18)

Because bread and wine have these symbolic meanings, so too Melchizedek, going to meet Abram, brought out bread and wine, he being a priest of God Most High, and he blessed Abram (Genesis 14:18-19).

[3] The grain offering and drink offering used in sacrifices had similar symbolic meanings, as described in Exodus 29:40, Leviticus 23:12-13, 18-19ff. The grain offering was an offering of wheat flour, thus taking the place of bread, and the drink offering was an offering of wine.

It can be seen from this what these words of the Lord symbolize:

Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins... But they put the... wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved. (Matthew 9:17, cf. Luke 5:37-38)

New wine is the Divine truth in the New Testament, thus in the New Church, and the old wine is the Divine truth in the Old Testament, thus in the old church.

A similar idea is symbolized by these words of the Lord at the wedding in Cana of Galilee:

Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now! (John 2:1-10)

[4] Something similar is symbolized by the wine in the Lord's parable concerning the man wounded by thieves, on whose wound the Samaritan poured oil and wine (Luke 10:33-34); for the man wounded by thieves means people whom the Jews wounded spiritually by evils and falsities, and to whom the Samaritan brought aid by pouring oil and wine on their wounds, that is, by teaching them goodness and truth, and as far as possible, healing them.

Sacred truth is symbolized by wine and new wine also elsewhere in the Word, as in Isaiah 1:21-22; 25:6; 36:17.

[5] Because of this, a vineyard in the Word symbolizes a church that possesses truths from the Lord.

That wine symbolizes sacred truth can be seen also from its opposite meaning, in which it symbolizes truth falsified and profaned, as in the following places:

Harlotry, wine, and new wine have taken hold of the heart... Their wine is gone, they commit harlotry continually. (Hosea 4:11, 18)

Harlotry symbolizes the falsification of truth, and so, too, do the wine and new wine here.

...in the hand of Jehovah a cup, and He mixed it with wine; He filled it with the mixture and poured it out, and its dregs shall all the wicked of the earth, sucking, drink. (Psalms 75:8)

Babylon was a golden cup in Jehovah's hand, that made all the earth drunk. The nations drank her wine; therefore they are deranged. (Jeremiah 51:7)

Babylon has fallen..., because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication... If anyone worships the beast..., he shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed with undiluted wine in the cup of the wrath (of God). (Revelation 14:8-10)

(Babylon has made) all the nations (drink) of the wine... of her fornication. (Revelation 18:3)

...great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fury of His wrath. (Revelation 16:19)

...the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication. (Revelation 17:1-2)

[6] The wine that Belshazzar, the king of Babylon, and his lords and wives and concubines drank from the vessels of the Temple in Jerusalem, while they praised the gods of gold, silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone (Daniel 5:2-4) - that wine symbolized nothing else but the sacred truth of the Word and church profaned, which is why the writing then appeared on the wall, and the king that very night was slain (Daniel 5:25, 30)

Wine symbolizes truth falsified also in Isaiah 5:11-12, 21-22; 28:1, 3, 7; 29:9; 56:11-12.

The drink offering that they poured out as an offering to idols has the same symbolic meaning in Isaiah 65:11; 57:6; Jeremiah 7:18; 44:17-19; Ezekiel 20:28; Deuteronomy 32:38.

It is owing to its correspondence that wine symbolizes sacred truth, and in an opposite sense, truth profaned. For when a person reads "wine" in the Word, angels - who apprehend everything spiritually - have just this interpretation of it. Such is the correspondence between the natural thoughts of people and the spiritual thoughts of angels. The case is the same with the wine in the Holy Supper. That is why the Holy Supper occasions an introduction into heaven (no. 224 at the end).
