1 И вотъ, что ты долженъ сдјлать надъ ними, дабы посвятить ихъ во священники Мнј: возьми одного тельца изъ воловъ, и двухъ овновъ, безъ порока,

2 и хлјбовъ прјсныхъ, и прјсныхъ лепешекъ, смјшениыхъ съ елеемъ, и блиновъ прјсныхъ помазанныхъ елеемъ; изъ муки пшеничной сдјлай ихъ.

3 И положи ихъ въ одну корзину, и принеси ихъ въ корзинј, и тельца, и двухъ овновъ.

4 Аарона же и сыновъ его поставь у дверей скиніи собранія, и омой ихъ водою.

5 И возьми одежды, и облеки Аарона въ хитонъ и въ верхнюю ризу, и въ ефодъ, и въ наперсникъ, и опояшь его поясомъ ефода.

6 И возложи ему на голову кидаръ, а на кидаръ укрјпи діадиму святыни.

7 И возми елей помазанія, и возлей ему на голову, и помажь его.

8 И приведи также сыновъ его, и облеки ихъ въ хитоны.

9 И опояшь ихъ поясомъ, Аарона и сыновъ его, и возложи на нихъ шапки, и будетъ имъ принадлежать священство по уставу вјчно; и наполни руки Аарона и руки сыновъ его.

10 И вели привести тельца предъ скинію собранія; и пусть возложитъ Ааронъ и сыны его руки свои на голову тельца.

11 И заколи тельца предъ лицемъ Іеговы, у дверей скиніи собранія.

12 Возми крови тельца, и возложи перстомъ твоимъ на роги жертвенника; а всю кровь вылей у основанія жертвенника.

13 Возми тукъ, покрывающій внутренности, и перепонку съ печени, и обј почки и тукъ, который на нихъ, и воскури на жертвенникј.

14 А мясо телъца и кожу его и нечистоты его сожги на огнј внј стана. Это жертва за грјхъ.

15 Потомъ возми одного овна, и пусть возложатъ Ааронъ и сыны его руки свои на голову овна.

16 И заколи овна, и взявъ крови его, покропи на жертвенникъ со всјхъ сторонъ.

17 Разсјки овна на части, вымой внутренности его и голјни его, и положи на разсјченыя части его и на голову его.

18 И сожги всего овна на жертвенникј. Это всесожженіе, благоуханіе успокоенія; это жертва Іеговј.

19 И возми другаго овна, и пусть возложатъ Ааронъ и сыны его руки свои на голову овна.

20 Заколи овна, и взявъ крови его, возложи на край уха Ааронова, и на край праваго уха сыновъ его и на большой палецъ правой руки ихъ, и на большой палецъ правой ноги ихъ; и покропи кровію на жертвенникъ со всјхъ сторонъ.

21 Возми крови, которая на жертвенникј, и елея помазанія, и покропи Аарона и одежды его, и сыновъ его, и одежды сыновъ его съ нимъ: такимъ образомъ будутъ освящены, онъ и одежды его, и сыны его и одежды ихъ съ нимъ.

22 Возми отъ овна тукъ, и курдюкъ, и тукъ, покрывающій внутренности, и перепонку съ печени, и обј почки, и тукъ, который на нихъ, и правое плечо, (потому что это овенъ для наполненія рукъ),

23 и одинъ круглый хлјбъ, и одну лепешку на елеј, и одинъ блинъ, изъ корзины съ опрјсноками, которая предъ Іеговою.

24 И положи все на руки Аарону и на руки сынамъ его, и принесите это потрясая предъ лицемъ Іеговы.

25 И возми это съ рукъ ихъ, и сожги на жертвенникј со всесоженіемъ, въ благоуханіе успокоенія предъ Іеговою; это жертва Іеговј.

26 Также отъ овна наполненія рукъ, который за Аарона, возми грудь, и принеси ее потрясая предъ лицемъ Іеговы: и это будетъ твоя доля.

27 И освяти грудь приношенія, которая потрясаема была, и плечо возношенія, которое было возносимо отъ овна наполненія рукъ, который за Аарона и который за сыновъ его.

28 Сіе предоставляется Аарону и сынамъ его въ участокъ вјчный отъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ; ибо это возношеніе должно быть отъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ при благодарственныхъ жертвахъ ихъ, возношеніе ихъ Іеговј.

29 А священное облаченіе Аароново послј него перейдетъ къ сынамъ его, чтобы въ немъ помазывать ихъ и наполнять руки ихъ.

30 Семь дней долженъ облачаться въ него священникъ, изъ сыновъ его, заступающій его мјсто, который будетъ входить въ скинію собранія для служенія во святилищј.

31 Овна же наполненія рукъ возми, и свари мясо его на мјстј святомъ.

32 И пусть съјдятъ Ааронъ и сыны его мясо овна сего, также и хлјбъ изъ корзины у дверей скиніи собранія.

33 Пусть съјдятъ сіе тј, надъ которыми совершено очищеніе для наполненія рукъ ихъ и для посвященія ихъ; а посторонній не долженъ јсть сего, ибо это святыня.

34 Если останется мяса наполненія рукъ и хлјба до утра; то сожги остатки на огнј: не должно јсть сею; ибо это святыня.

35 Такъ поступи съ Аарономъ и съ сынами его во всемъ, какъ Я повелјлъ тебј; семь дней наполняй руки ихъ.

36 И тельца за грјхъ приноси каждый день для очищенія, и жертву за грјхи совершай на жертвенникј, для очищенія его, и помажь его для освященія его.

37 Семь дней очищай жертвеиникъ; и освяти его, и будетъ жертвенникъ святыня великая; все прикасающееся къ жертвеннику будетъ свято.

38 Вотъ что будешь ты приносить на жертвенникј: два агнца однолјтнихъ на день непрерывно.

39 Одного агнца приноси поутру, а другаго агнца приноси подъ вечеръ.

40 И десятую часть ефы пшеничной муки, смјшанной съ четвертью гина битаго елея, а для возліянія четверть гина вина съ однимъ агнцемъ.

41 Другаго овна приноси подъ вечеръ, съ приношеніемъ, подобнымъ утреннему, и съ такимъ же возліяніемъ, въ благоуханіе успокоенія. Это жертва Іеговј.

42 Это всесожженіе непрерывное въ роды ваши предъ дверьми скиніи собранія предъ Іеговою, гдј буду открываться вамъ, чтобы говорить съ тобою.

43 Тамъ буду открываться сынамъ Израилевымъ, и освятится мјсто сіе славою Моею.

44 И освящу скинію собранія и жертвенникъ: также Аарона и сыновъ его освящу, дабы они священнодјйствовали Мнј.

45 И буду обитать среди сыновъ Израилевыхъ, и буду имъ Богомъ.

46 И узнаютъ, что Я Іегова, Богъ ихъ, Который вывелъ ихъ изъ земли Египетской, чтобы Мнј обитать среди ихъ. Я Іегова, Богъ ихъ.

Apocalypse Explained # 279

279. And the second animal like a calf, signifies the appearance in ultimates of Divine good in respect to protection. This is evident from the signification of a "calf," or "bullock," as being the good of the natural man, and specifically his good of innocence and charity; and because it is the good of the natural man it also is the good of the lowest heaven, for this heaven is spiritual natural (See in the work on Heaven and Hell 29-31); and as this good is there, there is a guard or protection that the higher heavens be not approached except through the good of love and charity; this is why one cherub was like a calf. That this appearance was in ultimates, see just above n. 278. A "calf" or "bullock" signifies the good of the natural man, because animals from the herd signified the affections of good and truth in the external or natural man; and those from the flock signified the affections of good and truth in the internal or spiritual man. Those from the flock were lambs, she-goats, sheep, rams, and he-goats; those from the herd were oxen, bullocks, and calves.

[2] That "bullocks" and "calves" signify the good of the natural man is evident from the passages of the Word where they are mentioned. First from the description of the feet of the cherubim in Ezekiel:

Their foot was straight and the sole of their feet like the sole of a calf's foot, and they sparkled like the appearance of burnished brass (Ezekiel 1:7).

Their foot thus appeared "straight" because the cherubim represented the Divine guard of the Lord, and the feet and the soles of the feet represented the same in ultimates or in the spiritual natural heaven and the natural world; for "feet" in general signify the natural; a "straight foot" the natural in respect to good; "the sole of the foot" the ultimate of the natural; "burnished brass" also signifies good in the natural. From this it is clear that good in the natural is signified by a "calf," and that in this is the ultimate good that guards and protects lest the heavens be approached except through the good of love and charity. (That "feet" signify the natural, see Arcana Coelestia 2162, 3147, 3761, 3986, 4280, 4938-4952, 5327, 5328; that that which is to the right signifies good from which is truth, n. 9604, 9736, 10061; therefore a "straight foot" signifies the natural in respect to good. That "palms," "soles," and "hoofs," signify the ultimates in the natural, see n. 4938, 7729; and that "burnished brass" signifies natural good, see above, n. 70)

[3] In Hosea:

Return ye to Jehovah; say unto Him, Take away all iniquity, and accept good, and we will pay back the bullocks of our lips (Hosea 14:2).

What it is to "pay back the bullocks of the lips" no one can know unless he knows what "bullocks" and what "lips" signify; they mean evidently confession and thanksgiving from a good heart; but it is thus expressed because "bullocks" signify external good, and "lips" doctrine; therefore "paying back the bullocks of the lips" signifies to confess and give thanks from the goods of doctrine. (That "lips" signify doctrine, see Arcana Coelestia, n. 1286, 1288.)

[4] In Amos:

Ye cause the habitation of violence to draw near; they lie upon beds of ivory, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall (Amos 6:3, 4).

Here those who have an abundance of the knowledges of good and truth and yet lead an evil life are treated of; "to eat the lambs out of the flock" signifies to imbibe the knowledges of internal good or of the spiritual man; and "to eat the calves out of the midst of the stall" signifies to imbibe the knowledges of external good or of the natural man; and "to cause the habitation of violence to draw near" is to live a life contrary to charity.

[5] In Malachi:

Unto you that fear My name shall the Sun of righteousness arise and healing in His wings; that ye may go forth, and grow up as fatted calves (Malachi 4:2).

The "Sun of righteousness that shall arise to them that fear the name of Jehovah" signifies the good of love; and "healing in His wings" signifies the truth of faith; therefore "to go forth, and grow up as fatted calves," signifies the increase of all good, "fatted" and "fat" also signifying good.

[6] In Luke:

The father said of the prodigal son who returned penitent in heart, Bring forth the first robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet; and bring hither the fatted calf and kill it, that we may eat and be glad (Luke 15:22, 23).

He who is acquainted only with the sense of the letter believes that no deeper meaning is contained in this than appears in that sense, when yet every particular involves heavenly things; as that they should "put on him the first robe," that they should "put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet," that they should "bring forth the fatted calf, that they might eat and be merry." By "the prodigal son" those who are prodigal of spiritual riches, which are the knowledges of truth and good, are meant; "his returning to his father, and his confession that he was not worthy to be called his son," signifies penitence of heart and humiliation; "the first robe with which he was clothed," signifies general and primary truths; "the ring on the hand" signifies the conjunction of truth and good in the internal or spiritual man; "the shoes on the feet" signify the same in the external or natural man, and both signify regeneration; "the fatted calf" signifies the good of love and charity; and "to eat and be glad" signifies consociation and heavenly joy.

[7] In Jeremiah:

I will give the men that have transgressed My covenant, who have not established the words of the covenant which they made before Me, that of the calf, which they cut in twain that they might pass between the parts thereof, the princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the royal ministers and the priests, and all the people of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf, I will even give them into the hands of their enemies, that their carcass may be for food to the bird of the heavens (Jeremiah 34:18-20).

What is meant by "the covenant of the calf," and by "passing between its parts," no one can know without knowing what a "covenant" signifies, and a "calf," and its being "cut in twain;" then what is meant by "the princes of Judah and Jerusalem," by "the royal ministers," "the priests," and "the people of the land." Some heavenly arcanum is evidently meant; and it can be understood when it is known that a "covenant" means conjunction; a "calf" good, a "calf cut in twain" good proceeding from the Lord on the one hand, and good received by man on the other, whence is conjunction; and that "the princes of Judah and of Jerusalem, the royal ministers, the priests, and the people of the land," mean the goods and truths of the church; and that "to pass between the parts" means to conjoin. When these things are known, the internal sense of these words can be seen, namely, that there was no conjunction by the goods and truths of the church with that nation, but disjunction.

[8] Like things are involved in the "covenant of the calf" with Abram, of which in Genesis:

Jehovah said to Abram, Take to thee an heifer of three years old, and a she-goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtle dove, and a young pigeon. And he took him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each part over against the other; but the birds divided he not. And the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses; and Abram drove them away. And the sun was at its going down, and a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and lo, a terror of great darkness fell upon him. And in that day Jehovah made a covenant with Abram (Genesis 15:9-12, 18).

The "terror of great darkness" that fell upon Abram signified the state of the Jewish nation, which was in the greatest darkness in respect to the truths and goods of the church. This state of that nation is what is described in the prophet by "the covenant of the calf which they cut into two parts, between which they passed." Since a "calf" signifies the good of the natural man and its truth, which is knowledge [scientificum]; and since the natural man and its knowledge [scientificum] is signified by "Egypt," therefore in the Word Egypt is called a "she-calf," and a "he-calf;" moreover, when they applied the knowledges [scientifica] of the church to magical and idolatrous purposes they turned the calf into an idol; this was why the sons of Israel made to themselves a he-calf in the wilderness, and worshiped it, and also why they had a calf in Samaria.

[9] That Egypt was called a he-calf and a she-calf can be seen in Jeremiah:

A very fair she-calf is Egypt; destruction cometh out of the north, her hirelings in the midst of her are like he-calves of the stall (Jeremiah 46:20-21).

Respecting the calf that the sons of Israel made to themselves in the wilderness, see Exodus 32; and respecting the "calf of Samaria" (1 Kings 12:28-32), about which is the following in Hosea:

They have made a king, but not by Me; they have made princes, and I knew it not; of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off. Thy calf, O Samaria, hath forsaken thee. For it was from Israel; the workman made it, and it is not God; the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces (Hosea 8:4-6).

This treats of the corrupt explanation of the Word, when the sense of its letter is turned to favor self-love, and the principles of religion derived therefrom. "They have made a king, but not by Me, and they have made princes, and I knew it not," signifies doctrines from self-intelligence, which in themselves are falsities, but which they make to appear as truths; for "king" signifies truth, and in a contrary sense, falsity; "princes" signify primary truths, or falsities, which are called principles of religion. "To make idols of their silver and their gold" signifies to pervert the truths and goods of the church, and still to worship them as holy, although as they are from self-intelligence they are destitute of life; "silver" is the truth, and "gold" the good, which are from the Lord; "idols" signify worship from doctrine that is from self-intelligence; "the workman made it, and it is not God," signifies that is from the selfhood [ex proprio], and not from the Divine; "to be broken in pieces" signifies to be dispersed; which makes clear what is signified by the "calf of Samaria." Because "calves" signified the good of the natural man, calves were also sacrificed (See Exodus 29:11, 12 seq.; Leviticus 4:3, 13; 8:15 seq.; 9:2; 16:3; 23:18; Numbers 8:8 seq.; 15:24; 28:19, 20; Judges 6:25-29; 1 Samuel 1:25; 16:2; 1 Kings 18:23-26, 33); for all the animals that were sacrificed signified the goods of the church of various kinds.
