1 И сказалъ Господь Аарону: ты и сыны твои и домъ отца твоего понесете на себј грјхъ за неисправность во святилищј; и ты и сыны твои съ тобою понесете на себј грјхъ за неисправность въ священствј своемъ.

2 И братьевъ твоихъ колјно Левіино, племя отца твоего, возьми себј, пусть они будутъ при тебј и служатъ тебј; а ты и сыны твои будете при скиніи откровенія.

3 Пусть они соблюдаютъ, что должно соблюдать для тебя и для всей скиніи, только, чтобъ не приступали къ сосудамъ святилища и къ жертвеннику, чтобъ не умереть и имъ и вамъ.

4 Пусть они будутъ при тебј и соблюдаютъ, что должно соблюдать при скиніи собранія касательно всякихъ работъ при скиніи; а посторонній не долженъ приближаться къ вамъ.

5 И имјйте такимј образомъ въ соблюденіи святилище и жертвенникъ, дабы не было впредь гнјва на сыновъ Израилевыхъ.

6 И6о братьевъ вашихъ левитовъ Я взялъ отъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ; вамъ въ даръ даны они отъ Господа, дабы отправляли работы при скиніи собранія.

7 А ты и сыны твои съ тобою соблюдайте должностъ священства вашего во всемъ, что касается до жертвенника, и до того, что отправляется внутри за завјсою, и служите; вамъ въ даръ даю Я священство, служеніе ваше, и если приступитъ кто посторонній, преданъ будетъ смерти.

8 И говорилъ Господь Аарону: вотъ Я поручаю тебј наблюдать за возношеніями Мнј приносимыми; изъ всего посвящаемаго сынами Израилевыми даю часть тебј и сынамъ твоимъ въ вјчный участокъ.

9 Вотъ что принадлежитъ тебј изъ великихъ святынь съ огня: все приносимое ими во всякое приношеніе хлјбное и во всякую жертву за грјхи ихъ, и во всякую жертву повинности, что они принесутъ Мнј это великая святыня тебј и сынамъ твоимъ.

10 На святјйшемъ мјстј јшьте сіе, всј мужескаго пола могутъ јсть. Это святынею да будетъ для тебя.

11 И вотъ что принадлежитъ тебј изъ возношеній ихъ: все, приносимое сынами Израилевыми, чрезъ потрясаніе, даю тебј и сынамъ твоимъ, и дочерямъ твоимъ съ тобою, въ вјчный участокъ. Всякій чистый въ дому твоемъ можетъ јсть сіе.

12 Все лучшее изъ елея и все лучшее изъ винограда и хлјба, начатки ихъ, которые они даютъ Господу, тебј отдаю.

13 Всј первыя произведенія земли ихъ, которыя они принесутъ Господу, тебј принадлежатъ. Всякій чистый въ дому твоемъ можетъ јсть сіе.

14 Все, заклятое въ землј Израилевой, тебј принадлежитъ.

15 Все, разверзающее ложесна у всякой плоти, которую приносятъ Господу, изъ людей и изъ скота, тебј принадлежитъ. Только за первенца человјческаго возьми выкупъ, и за первородное изъ скота нечистаго возьми выкупъ.

16 А выкупъ за нихъ: начиная отъ одного мјсяца по оцјнкј твоей бери выкупъ пять сиклей серебра противъ сикля святилища, который въ двадцать геръ.

17 Только за первородное изъ воловъ, и за первородное изъ овецъ, и за первородное изъ козъ не бери выкупа: они святыня; кровію ихъ окропляй жертвенникъ, и тукъ ихъ сожигай въ огнепалимую жертву, въ благоуханіе успокоенія Господу.

18 Мясо же ихъ тебј принадлежитъ, такъ какъ грудь потрясанія и правое плечо тебј принадлежатъ.

19 Всј возносимыя святыни, которыя возносятъ сыны Израилевы Господу, отдаю тебј и сынамъ твоимъ и дочерямъ твоимъ съ тобою въ вјчный участокъ. Это вјчный завјтъ соли у Господа, данный тебј и сјмени твоему съ тобою.

20 И сказалъ Господь Аарону: въ землј ихъ не будешь имјть удјла и части не будетъ тебј между ними. Я часть твоя и удјлъ твой среди сыновъ Израилевыхъ.

21 А сынамъ Левіи, вотъ Я даю въ удјлъ десятину изъ всего, что у Израиля, за работы ихъ, за то, что они отправляютъ работы въ скиніи собранія.

22 Сыны Израилевы не должны впередъ приступать къ скиніи собранія, чтобъ не понести грјха и не умереть, [ (Numbers 19:23) Пусть левиты исправляютъ работы въ скиніи собранія, и несутъ на себј грјхъ ихъ. Это постановленіе вјчное въ роды ваши; среди сыновъ Израилевыхъ не получатъ они удјла. ] [ (Numbers 19:24) Поелику десятину сыновъ Израилевыхъ, которую они приносятъ въ возношеніе Господу, Я отдаю левитамъ въ удјлъ, потому и сказалъ Я имъ: между сынами Израилевыми они не получатъ удјла. ] [ (Numbers 19:25) И говорилъ Господь Моисею, и сказалъ: ] [ (Numbers 19:26) объяви левитамъ и скажи имъ: когда вы будете брать отъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ десятину, которую Я даю вамъ отъ нихъ въ удјлъ: то возносите изъ ней возношеніе Господу, десятину изъ десятины. ] [ (Numbers 19:27) И вмјнено будетъ вамъ сіе возношеніе ваше, какъ бы хлјбъ съ гумна и какъ бы приношеніе изъ точила. ] [ (Numbers 19:28) Такимъ образомъ и вы будете возносить возношеніе Господу изъ всјхъ десятинъ вашихъ, которыя будете брать отъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ, и будете давать изъ нихъ возношеніе Господу для Аарона священника. ] [ (Numbers 19:29) Изъ всего даемаго вамъ возносите возношеніе Господу и изъ всего лучшаго святыню для Него. ] [ (Numbers 19:30) И скажи имъ: когда вы принесете изъ сего лучшее, то сіе вмјнено будетъ левитамъ, какъ бы получаемое съ гумна, и получаемое отъ точила. ] [ (Numbers 19:31) Вы можете јсть сіе на всякомъ мјстј, вы и семейства ваши; ибо это вамъ плата за работы ваши въ скиніи собранія. ] [ (Numbers 19:32) Тогда не понесете за сіе грјха, когда принесете лучшее изъ сего; и посвящаемаго сынами Израилевыми не оскверните, и не умрете. ]

6767. 'Do you intend to kill me . . .' means, Do you wish to destroy my faith ... This is clear from the meaning of 'killing' as destroying, dealt with below; and from the meaning of a Hebrew man, to whom 'me' refers here, as one who belongs to the Church. Faith too is accordingly meant, for faith goes together with the Church, and the two are so bound up with each other that a person who destroys the faith present with someone destroys the Church with him. This is also 'to kill him', for by taking faith away he takes spiritual life away, the life that remains being a life that is called death. From this it is evident that 'Do you intend to kill me?' means, Do you wish to destroy my faith?

[2] The fact that 'killing' is taking away spiritual life is evident from many places in the Word, as in Jeremiah,

Drag them away like sheep for the slaughter, and destine them to the day of killing. How long will the land mourn and the plant of every field wither, on account of the wickedness of those who dwell in it? The beasts and the birds will be devoured. Jeremiah 12:3-4.

'The day of killing' stands for the time that the Church is laid waste, when there is no longer any faith because there is no charity. 'The land which will mourn' stands for the Church; 'the plant of every field' stands for all the facts known to the Church that hold truth within them; 'the beasts and the birds will be devoured' stands for the fact that forms of good and truths will be destroyed. For the meaning of 'the land' as the Church, see 566, 662, 1067, 1262, 1413, 1607, 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118 (end), 2928, 3755, 4447, 4535, 5577. The meaning of 'the plant' as factual knowledge holding truth within it is clear from places in the Word where plant is mentioned. And for the meaning of 'the field' as that which is of the Church, see 2971, 3710, 3766, of 'the beasts' as affections for good, thus forms of good, 45, 46, 142, 143, 246, 714, 715, 719, 1823, 2179, 2180, 3218, 3519, 5198, and of 'the birds' as affections for truth, 5149. From all this one may recognize what the meaning of these words is, and also that the spiritual sense is present in every detail there. Anyone can see that without the inner meaning there could be no understanding of what 'the day of killing' is, or of what is described by the details 'will the land mourn', 'the plant of every field wither, on account of the wickedness of those who dwell in it', and 'the beasts and the birds will be devoured'.

[3] In Zechariah,

Thus said Jehovah my God, Feed the sheep for killing, whose owners kill them. Zechariah 11:4-5.

'The sheep for killing' plainly stands for people whose faith is destroyed by those who are their owners. In Ezekiel,

You have desecrated Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for crusts of bread, to kill souls that ought not to die, and to keep alive souls that ought not to live. Ezekiel 13:19.

Here also 'killing' plainly stands for destroying spiritual life, that is, charity and faith. In Isaiah,

What will you do on the day of visitation and vastation? They will fall beneath the bound and beneath the killed. Isaiah 10:3-4.

Here 'the killed' stands for those who are in hell, thus for those immersed in evils and falsities.

[4] In the same prophet,

You are cast out from your sepulchre like an abominable branch, [like] a garment of the killed, [like] those pierced with the sword. You will not be united with them in the sepulchre, for you have destroyed your land, you have killed your people. Isaiah 14:19-20.

'The killed' stands for those who have been deprived of spiritual life; 'you have killed your people' stands for his destruction of forms of the truth and good of faith. In John,

The thief does not come except in order to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come in order that they may have life. John 10:10.

'Killing' stands for destroying the life of faith, and therefore it says, 'I have come in order that they may have life'. In Mark,

Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his children, and the children will rise up against parents and kill them. Mark 13:12.

This refers to the last days of the Church when there is no longer any charity and therefore no faith either. 'Brother', 'children', and 'parents' in the internal sense are the Church's forms of good and its truths; and 'killing' is destroying them.

[5] Because one who had been 'killed' meant a person who had been deprived of spiritual life, and 'the field' meant the Church, it had therefore been decreed in the representative church that if anyone on the surface of the field touched somebody who had been pierced with the sword, or who had been killed, he would be unclean for seven days, Numbers 19:16. 'Slain with the sword' means truth wiped out by falsity, see 4507; for 'the sword' is falsity that wipes out truth, 2799, 4499, 653. It was likewise decreed that if anyone was found killed in the land which was their inheritance, lying on the field, and it was not known who had killed him, the elders and judges were to measure the distances to the cities which were round about. Having found out by doing this which was the nearest city, they were to take a heifer and break its neck at a fast-flowing river, and to do many other things, Deuteronomy 21:1-10.
