1 И говорилъ Господь Моисею, и сказалъ:

2 объяви сынамъ Израилевымъ, и скажи имъ: вотъ праздники Господни, въ которые должно созывать священныя собранія; вотъ праздники Мои.

3 Шесть дней можно дјлать дјла, а въ седьмой день суббота покоя; священное собраиіе; никакого дјла не дјлайте: это суббота Господня во всјхъ жилищахъ вашихъ.

4 Вотъ праздники Госіюдни, сващенныя собранія, которыя вы должны созывать въ свое время:

5 въ первый мјсяцъ, въ четырнадцатый день мјсяца вечеромъ Пасха Господня.

6 И въ пятнадцатый день мјсяца сего Господень праздникъ опрјсноковъ, Семь дней јшьте опрјсноки.

7 Въ первый день да будетъ у васъ священное собраніе, никакой работы не работайте.

8 Въ теченіе семи дней приносите огнепалимую жертву Господу; въ седьмой день также сващенное собраніе: никакой работы не работайте.

9 И говорилъ Господь Моисею, и сказалъ:

10 объяви сынамъ Израилевымъ, и скажи имъ: когда придете въ землю, которую Я даю вамъ, и будете жать на ней жатву: то принесите первый снопъ жатвы вашей къ священнику;

11 онъ принесетъ сей снопъ, потрясая предъ Господомъ, чтобы вамъ пріобрјсти благоволеніе, наутріе субботы принесетъ его священникъ, потрясая.

12 Въ день потрясанія снопа принесите во всессожженіе Господу агнца однолјтняго безъ порока,

13 и съ нимъ хлјбнаго приношенія двј десятыхъ части ефы пшеничной муки, облитой елеемь, въ огнепалимую жертву Господу, въ благоуханіе успокоенія, - и возліянія Ему четверть гина вина.

14 Никакого хлјба, ни сушеныхъ зеренъ, ни крупъ не јшьте до сего дня, пока не принесете приношенія Богу вашему: это вјчное постановленіе въ роды ваши во всјхъ жилищахъ вашихъ.

15 Отсчитайте себј отъ наутрія субботы, отъ того дня, въ который приносите хлјбъ потрясанія, семь полныхъ субботъ.

16 До наутрія ссдьмой субботы отсчитайте пятьдесятъ дней, и тогда принесите новое хлјбное приношеніе Господу.

17 Отъ жилищъ вашихъ приносите два хлјба потрясанія, которые должны состоять изъ двухъ десятыхъ частей ефы пшеничной муки, должны быть спечены кислые, какъ первый плодъ Господу.

18 Сверхъ хлјбовъ приносите семь агнцевъ безъ порока, однолјтнихъ, и изъ крупнаго скота одного тельца и двухъ овновъ; да будетъ это во всесожженіе Господу; а хлјбное приношеніе и возліяніе, принадлежащее къ нимъ, въ огнепалимую жертву, въ благоуханіе успокоенія Господу.

19 Принесите также изъ стада козъ одного козла въ жертву за грјхъ, и двухъ однолјтнихъ агнцевъ въ жертву благодарственную.

20 Священникъ долженъ принести сіе, потрясая предъ Господомъ, вмјстј съ потрясаемыми хлјбами перваго плода и съ двумя агнцами: это будетъ святынею Господнею для священника.

21 И созывайте народъ въ сей день, священное собраніе да будеть у васъ, никакой работы не работайте: это постановленіе вјчное во всјхъ жилищахъ вашихъ въ роды ваши.

22 Когда будете жать жатву на землј вашей, не дожинай угла въ полј твоемъ, когда жнешь, и оставшагося отъ жатвы твоей не подбирай; бјдному и пришельцу оставь сіе. Я Господъ, Богъ вашъ.

23 И говорилъ Господь Моисею, и сказалъ:

24 скажи сынамъ Израилевымъ: въ седьмой мјсяцъ, въ первый день мјсяца, да будетъ у васъ покой, праздникъ трубнаго звука, священное собраніе.

25 Никакой работы не работайте, и приносите огнепалимую жертву Господу.

26 И говорилъ Господь Моисею, и сказалъ:

27 также въ десятый день седьмаго мјсяца сего, въ день очищенія, да будетъ у васъ священное собраніе; смиряйте души ваши, и приносите огнепалимую жертву Господу.

28 Никакого дјла не дјлайте въ день сей; ибо это день очищенія, дабы очистить васъ предъ лицемъ Господа, Бога вашего.

29 А всякая душа, которая не смиритъ себя въ сей день, истребится изъ народа своего.

30 И если какая душа будетъ дјлать какое-нибудь дјло въ день сей, Я истреблю ту душу изъ народа ея.

31 Никакого дјла не дјлайте; это постановленіе вјчное въ роды ваши, во всјхъ жилищахъ вашихъ.

32 Это для васъ суббота покоя, смиряйте души ваши съ вечера девятаго дня мјсяца; отъ вечера до вечера празднуйте субботу вашу.

33 И говорилъ Господь Моисею, и сказалъ:

34 скажи сынамъ Израилевымъ: съ пятнадцатаго дня, седьмаго мјсяца сего, Господень праздникъ кущъ, продолжающійся семь дней.

35 Въ первый день священное собраніе, никакой работы не работайте.

36 Въ теченіи семи дней приносите огнепалимую жертву Господу; въ осьмой день священное собраніе да будетъ у васъ, и приносите огнепалимую жертву Господу; это день торжества, никакой работы не работайте.

37 Вотъ праздники Господни, въ которые должно созывать священныя собранія, чтобъ приносить Господу огнепалимую жертву, всесожженіе и хлјбное приношеніе, закалаемыя жертвы, и возліянія, каждое въ свой денъ,

38 кромј субботъ Господнихъ. и кромј даровъ вашихъ, и кромј всјхъ објтовъ вашихъ, и кромј всего приносимаго по усердію вашему, что вы даете Господу.

39 Особенно въ пятнадцатый день седьмаго мјсяца, когда собираете произведенія земли, празднуйте праздникъ Господень семь дней: въ первый день покой и въ осьмой день покой:

40 въ первый день возьмите себј вјтви красивыхъ деревъ, вјтви пальмовыя и вјтви деревъ широколиственныхъ и вербъ рјчныхъ, и веселитесь предъ Господомъ, Богомъ ваиимъ, семь дней.

41 Празднуйте сей праздникъ Господень семь дней въ году: это постановленіе вјчное въ роды ваши. Въ седьмой мјсяцъ празднуйте его.

42 Въ кущахъ живите семь дней; всякий природный житель земли Израилевой долженъ жить въ кущахъ,

43 чтобъ знали будущіе роды ваши, что въ кущахъ велјлъ Я жить сынамъ Израилевымъ, когда вывелъ ихъ изъ земла Египетской. Я Господь, Богъ вашъ.

44 И сказалъ Моисей сынамъ Израилевымъ о праздникахъ Господнихъ,

Apocalypse Explained # 257

257. Because in this prophetical book numbers are often mentioned; and as no one can know the spiritual sense of what is contained in those numbers unless he knows what the particular numbers signify; for all numbers in the Word, as well as all names, signify spiritual things; and because the number seven is often mentioned amongst others, I am desirous here of showing that seven signifies all, and all things, also what is full and complete for that which signifies all, and all things, signifies also what is full and complete. For what is full and complete is said of the magnitude of a thing, and all and all things of multitude.

That the number seven has such a signification is evident from the following passages. In Ezekiel:

"The inhabitants of the cities of Israel shall set fire to and burn the arms, the shield also and the buckler, with the bow and the arrows, and with the hand-staff, and with the spear; and they shall kindle a fire with them seven years; and they shall bury Gog and all his multitude, and they shall cleanse the land seven months" (39:9, 11, 12).

The subject here treated of is the desolation of all things in the church. The inhabitants of the cities of Israel signify all the goods of truth, to set on fire and burn signifies to consume by evils. The arms, the shield, the buckler, the bows, the arrows, the hand-staff, the spear, denote everything pertaining to doctrine; to kindle fire with them seven years denotes to consume them all and fully by evils. Gog signifies those who are in external worship, and in no internal worship; to bury them and cleanse the land denotes to destroy them all, and completely to purge the church of them.

[2] In Jeremiah:

"Their widows shall be multiplied more than the sand of the seas, and I will bring to them upon the mother of the youths the waster at noon-day. She who hath borne seven shall languish, she shall breathe out her soul" (15:8, 9).

By the widows which will be multiplied are signified those who are in good and desire truths, and, in the opposite sense, as in the present case, those who are in evil and desire falsities. By the mother of the youths is signified the church; by the waster at noon-day is signified the vastation of that church, however much they may be in truths from the Word. By she that hath borne seven shall languish, she shall breathe out her soul, is signified that the church, to which all truths were given because the Word was given them, should perish; for she that hath borne seven signifies those to whom all truths were given. This is specifically said concerning the Jews.

[3] Similarly, in the first book of Samuel:

"They that were hungry ceased, so that the barren hath borne seven, and she that hath many children hath failed" (2:5).

The hungry who ceased denote those who desire the goods and truths of the church; the barren who hath borne seven signifies those who are outside the church and are ignorant of truths because they have not the Word, as the Gentiles, to whom all things will be given; she that hath many children failing signifies those who have truths, from whom they will be taken away. Again, in David:

"Render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom" (79:12).

And in Moses,

That the Jews should be punished seven times for their sins (Leviticus 26:18, 21, 24, 28);

seven times here signifying fully.

[4] In Luke:

"And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him" (17:4).

Here, to forgive seven times, if he shall return seven times, denotes to forgive as often as the offender should return, and thus at all times. But lest Peter should understand seven times to be meant by these words, the Lord explains His meaning to him, as recorded in Matthew:

"Peter said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times, but until seventy times seven " (18:21, 22).

Seventy times seven is always, without counting. In David:

"Seven times a day do I praise thee for the judgments of justice" (Psalms 119:164).

Seven times a day denotes always, or at all times.

[5] Again:

"The sayings of Jehovah are pure sayings, as silver refined in a furnace of earth, purified seven times" (Psalms 12:6).

Here silver signifies truth from the Divine: purified seven times denotes that it is altogether and fully pure.

[6] In Isaiah:

"The light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days" (30:26).

The light of the sun signifies Divine truth from Divine good: and that this light should be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, signifies that the Divine truth in heaven should be without any falsity, thus that it should be altogether and fully pure.

[7] In Matthew,

The unclean spirit "shall take with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and he shall dwell there" (12:45; Luke 11:26).

Here profanation is treated of, and by the seven other spirits with which the unclean spirit is said to return are signified all falsities of evil, thus a plenary destruction of good and truth.

[8] Similar is the signification of the seven times which were to pass over the king of Babylon, in Daniel,

"His heart shall be changed from man, and the heart of a beast shall be given unto him; while seven times shall pass over him" (4:16, 25, 32).

By the king of Babylon are signified those who profane the goods and truths of the Word. By his heart being changed from that of a man to that of a beast is meant that nothing spiritual, that is, truly human, should remain with him, but that instead there should be everything diabolical. By the seven times which were to pass over him is meant profanation, which is a complete destruction of truth and good.

[9] Because the terms seven, and seven times, signified all things, and also what is full, the following commands were given to the children of Israel:

Seven days their hands should be filled (Exodus 29:35).

Seven days they should be sanctified (Exodus 29:37).

Seven days Aaron should put on the garments when he was being initiated (Exodus 29:30).

Seven days they should not go out of the tabernacle when they were being initiated into the priesthood (Leviticus 8:33, 34).

Seven times expiation should be made upon the horns of the altar (Leviticus 16:18, 19).

Seven times should the altar be sanctified with oil (Leviticus 8:11).

Seven times should the blood be sprinkled before the veil (Leviticus 4:16, 17).

Seven times should the blood be sprinkled with the finger towards the east, when Aaron went in to the mercy seat (Leviticus 16:12-15).

Seven times should the water of separation be sprinkled towards the tabernacle (Num. 19:4).

Seven times should blood be sprinkled for the cleansing of leprosy (Leviticus 14:7, 8, 27, 38, 51).

The lampstand had seven lamps (Exodus 25:32, 37; 37:18-25).

Feasts should be celebrated for seven days (Exodus 34:18; Leviticus 23:4-9, 39-44; Deuteronomy 16:3, 4, 8).

Seven days of the feast there should be a burnt offering of seven bullocks and seven rams daily (Ezekiel 45:23).

Baalam built seven altars, and sacrificed seven oxen and seven rams (Num. 23:1-7, 15-18, 29, 30).

They numbered seven weeks of years, seven times seven years, and then should cause the trumpet of the jubilee to be sounded in the seventh month (Leviticus 25:8, 9).

From the signification of the number seven, it is evident what is signified

By the seven days of creation (Genesis 1).

Also by four thousand men being filled from seven loaves, and that seven basketsful of fragments remained over (Matthew 15:34-37; Mark 8:5-9).

Hence now it is clear what is signified in the Apocalypse,

By the seven churches (1:4, 11).

By the seven golden lampstands, in the midst of which was the Son of man (1:13).

By the seven stars in His right hand (1:16, 20).

By the seven spirits of God (3:1).

By the seven lamps of fire burning before the throne (4:5).

By the book sealed with seven seals (5:1).

By the seven angels to whom were given seven trumpets (8:2).

By the seven thunders which uttered their voices (10:3, 4).

By the seven angels having the seven last plagues, (15:1, 6).

By seven vials full of the seven last plagues (16:1; 21:9)

and elsewhere in the Word, where seven is mentioned.
