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,

6377. 'He washes his clothing in wine' means that His Natural consists in Divine Truth from His Divine Good. This is clear from the meaning of 'washing' as purifying, dealt with in 3147; from the meaning of 'wine' as the good of love towards the neighbour and the good of faith, and in the highest sense as Divine Truth from the Lord's Divine Good, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'clothing' as the exterior which covers the interior, dealt with in 5248, thus the natural since this is exterior and covers the rational, which is interior. Therefore 'clothing' also means truth since this is exterior and covers good, which is interior, 2576, 4545, 4763, 5319, 5954.

[2] The fact that 'wine' means love towards the neighbour and the good of faith may be recognized from what has been shown regarding the bread and wine in the Holy Supper, in 2165, 2177, 3464, 4581, 5915. These paragraphs show that 'bread' is the good of celestial love, and that 'wine' is the good of spiritual love. The same may also be recognized from the minchah and the drink-offering in sacrifices. The minchah in them meant the good of love, and the drink-offering the good of faith. The minchah consisted of the kinds of things that meant the good of love, while the drink-offering consisted of wine that meant the good of faith. The sacrifices themselves were also called 'bread', 2165. For the use in sacrifices of a drink-offering consisting of wine, see Exodus 29:40; Leviticus 23:12-13, 18-19; Numbers 15:2-15; 28:6-7, 18-end; 29:1-7 and following verses.

[3] The meaning that 'wine' has of love towards the neighbour and the good of faith is also evident in Isaiah,

Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! And come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Isaiah 55:1.

No one can fail to see that they did not have to buy wine and milk, but that they were to acquire what is meant by 'wine and milk', which is love towards the neighbour and faith. These gifts come from the Lord 'without money and without price'.

[4] In Hosea,

Threshing-floor and winepress will not feed them, and new wine will be deceptive to her. 1 Ephraim will return to Egypt, and in Assyria they will eat what is unclean. They will not pour libations of wine to Jehovah, their sacrifices will not be pleasing to Him. Hosea 9:1-4.

Here also in the internal sense reference is made to the good of love and the good of faith, to the demise of them. The good of love is meant by 'threshing-floor' by virtue of the grain there and the bread made from it, while the good of faith is meant by 'winepress', 'new wine', and 'libation of wine'. 'Ephraim will return to Egypt' stands for the fact that the understanding would resort to factual knowledge for advice concerning the arcana of faith; 'in Assyria they will eat what is unclean' stands for that which is the outcome of consequent false reasoning - 'Ephraim' being the area of understanding in the Church, see 5754, 6112, 6238, 6267; 'Egypt' the area of factual knowledge, 1164, 1165, 1186, 1462, 5702; and 'Assyria' that of reasoning, 1186. The line of thought in this passage also shows that the words used here contain something more than what one sees in the letter. For everything hangs together in the internal sense, but not so in the external sense, for example when it says that 'threshing-floor and winepress will not feed them, and new wine will be deceptive to her', immediately followed by 'Ephraim will return to Egypt, and in Assyria they will eat what is unclean'. Moreover, without the internal sense what meaning would Ephraim's return to Egypt and their eating in Assyria what is unclean have?

[5] 'Winepress' and 'wine' are also used in Jeremiah to describe the demise of mutual love and the good of faith,

He who lays waste has fallen on your vintage, therefore joy and gladness have been plucked from Carmel, and from the land of Moab, for I have made the wine cease from the winepresses; none will tread the headed. 2 Jeremiah 48:32-33.

[6] The fact that 'wine' means the good of mutual love and of faith is also evident in John,

I heard a voice from the midst of the four living creatures, saying, Do no harm to oil and wine. Revelation 6:6.

[7] 'Oil' stands for the good of celestial love, and 'wine' for the good of spiritual love.

'Oil' and 'wine' have a similar meaning in the Lord's parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke,

A certain Samaritan was journeying, and seeing him who had been wounded by the robbers was moved with compassion for him; going therefore to him, he bandaged his wounds, and poured on oil and wine. Luke 10:33-34.

'He poured on oil and wine' means that he performed the works of love and charity, 'oil' being the good of love, see 886, 3728. A like meaning was involved in the practice of the ancients, who poured oil and wine onto a pillar when they consecrated it, Genesis 35:14, 4581, 4582.

[8] The fact that 'wine' means the good of love and faith is evident from the words the Lord used when He instituted the Holy Supper. He said then regarding the wine,

I tell you that I shall not drink from now on of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom. Matthew 26:29; Luke 22:17-18.

Anyone can see that He was not about to drink wine in that kingdom, but that the good of love and faith is meant, which He was about to impart to those who belonged to His kingdom. Much the same is meant by 'wine' in Isaiah 24:9, 11; Lamentations 2:11-12; Hosea 14:7; Amos 9:13-14; Zechariah 9:15-16; Luke 5:37-39.

[9] Since 'wine' means the good of love and faith, Divine Truth from the Lord's Divine Good is therefore meant in the highest sense, for that Truth, when it flows into a person and is accepted by him, brings him the good of love and faith.

[10] Since most things in the Word also have a contrary meaning, so too does 'wine', the contrary meaning of which is falsity from evil, as in Isaiah,

Woe to those who rise in the morning around dawn, and then follow strong drink, who continue into dusk, so that wine may inflame them! Woe to heroes at drinking wine, and to valiant men in mixing strong drink! Isaiah 5:11, 22

In the same prophet,

Also these err through wine, and go astray through strong drink. The priest and the prophet err through strong drink. They are swallowed up by wine, they go astray through strong drink. They err among the seers, they are tottery in judgement. Isaiah 28:7.

In the same prophet,

The shepherds know no understanding, they all look to their own way. Come, I will get wine, and we will be drunken from strong drink; and let there be tomorrow, as there is this day, great abundance. Isaiah 56:11-12.

In addition to these places 'wine' is used with the contrary meaning in Jeremiah 13:12; Hosea 4:11; 7:5; Amos 2:8; Micah 2:11; Psalms 75:8; Deuteronomy 32:33.

Falsity from evil is also meant by the cup of the wine of wrath in Jeremiah 25:15-16; Revelation 14:8, 10; 16:19; the winepress of the wrath of God's anger, Revelation 19:15; and the wine of whoredom, Revelation 17:2; 18:3.

1. The Latin means them but the Hebrew means her, which Swedenborg has in other places where he quotes this verse, as well as possibly here in his rough draft.
