1 И говорилъ Господь Моисею и Аарону, и сказалъ:

2 вотъ постановленіе закона, который повелјлъ дать Господь, говоря: скажи сынамъ Израилевымъ, пусть приведутъ тебј рыжую телицу безъ порока, у которой нјтъ недостатка, на которой не было ярма.

3 И отдайте ее Елеазару священнику, а онъ пусть выведетъ ее вонъ изъ стана и прикажетъ заколоть ее при себј.

4 И пусть возьметъ Елеазаръ священникъ перстомъ своимъ крови ея, и кровію ея семь разъ покропитъ предъ скиніею собранія.

5 Телицу же сожгутъ при его глазахъ: кожу ея, мясо ея, и кровь ея съ нечистотою ея пусть сожгутъ.

6 И пусть возьметъ священникъ кедроваго дерева и иссопъ, и червленую нить, и броситъ на сожигаемую телицу.

7 И пусть вымоетъ священникъ одежды свои, и омоетъ тјло свое водою, и потомъ войдетъ въ станъ, и нечистъ будетъ священникъ до вечера.

8 Равно и сожигавшій ее пусть вымоетъ одежды свои водою, и омоетъ тјло свое водою и нечистъ будетъ до вечера.

9 Тогда кто-нибудь чистый пусть соберетъ пепелъ телицы и положитъ внј стана на чистомъ мјстј, и онъ долженъ быть въ сохраненіи у общества сыновъ Израилевыхъ для воды очистительной: это жертва за грјхъ.

10 И собиравшій пепелъ телицы пусть вымоетъ одежды свои, и нечистъ будетъ до вечера. Сіе для сыновъ Израилевыхъ и для пришельцевъ, живущихъ у нихъ, да будетъ постановленіемъ вјчнымъ.

11 Прикоснувшійся къ мертвому тјлу какого-либо человјка нечистъ будетъ семь дней.

12 Онъ долженъ очистить себя сею водою въ третій день и въ седьмой день, и будетъ чистъ; если же онъ не очиститъ себя въ третій и седьмой день, то не будетъ чистъ.

13 Всякій прикоснувшійся къ мертвому тјлу какого-либо человјка умершаго, и не очистившій себя, осквернитъ жилище Господа, истребится человјкъ тотъ изъ среды Израиля: поелику онъ не окропленъ очистительною водою, онъ нечистъ, еще нечистота его на немъ.

14 Вотъ законъ: если человјкъ умретъ въ шатрј, то всякій, кто придетъ въ шатеръ, и всякій, кто находится въ шатрј, нечистъ будетъ семь дней.

15 Всякій открытый сосудъ, который не обвязанъ и не покрытъ, нечистъ.

16 Всякій, кто прикоснется на полј къ убитому мечемъ, или къ умершему, или къ кости человјческой, или ко гробу, нечистъ будетъ семь дней.

17 Для очищенія нечистаго пусть возьмутъ пепла сожженной оной жертвы за грјхъ, и нальютъ на него живой воды въ сосудъ.

18 Потомъ кто-нибудь чистый пусть возьметъ иссопъ, и омочитъ его въ водј, и окропитъ шатеръ и всј сосуды и людей, которые находятся въ немъ, и прикоснувшагося къ кости, или къ убитому или къ умершему, или ко гробу.

19 И пусть окропитъ чистый нечистаго въ третій и седьмой день, и очиститъ его въ седьмой день. Тогда пусть вымоетъ онъ одежды свои, и омоетъ себя водою, и къ вечеру будетъ чистъ.

20 Если же кто-нибудь нечисть и не очиститъ себя, то истребится человјкъ тотъ изъ среды народа: поелику онъ оскверняетъ святилище Господа, очистительною водою онъ не окропленъ, онъ нечистъ.

21 И да будетъ сіе для нихъ постановленіеиъ вјчнымъ. Также и кропившій сею очистительною водою, пусть вымоетъ одежды свои, и прикоснувшійся къ очистительной водј нечистъ будетъ до вечера.

22 И все, къ чему нрикоснется нечистый, будетъ нечисто; и прикоснувшійся къ нему человјкъ нечистъ будетъ до вечера.

2897. The Word in the Ancient Church after the Flood however was derived from these people meant by 'Enoch'. The member of this Church, being spiritual and not celestial, knew but did not see with perception what was embodied in representatives and meaningful signs. And because these embodied Divine things they held out a use to members of that Church and were employed by them in their Divine worship, to the end that they might have a communication with heaven; for, as has been stated, all things in the world represent and mean such things as exist in heaven. Also the Word which they had was a written Word, consisting of Historical Sections and Prophetical Parts, like the Old Testament Word. But in course of time that Word came to be lost. The historical sections were called The Wars of Jehovah, and the prophetical parts The Utterances, as is clear in Moses, Numbers 21:14, 27, where they are quoted. The historical sections of their Word were written in the prophetical style and were for the most part made-up historical narratives, like those in Chapters 1-11 of Genesis, as is evident from the quotations of those historical narratives in Moses, where the following words occur,

Therefore it is said in The Book of The Wars of Jehovah, Waheb in Suphah, and the streams of Arnon, and the descent of the streams which runs down to the dwelling at Ar and leans to the border of Moab. Numbers 21:14-15.

The prophetical parts of their Word were written in a style similar to the prophetical parts of the Old Testament, as is also evident from the quotation of these in Moses, where the following words occur,

Therefore The Utterances (or The Utterers of Prophecies) say, Come to Heshbon the city of Sihon shall be built and established. For fire went out of Heshbon flame out of the city of Sihon. It consumed Ar of Moab, the lords of the high places of Arnon. Woe to you, O Moab! You have perished, O people of Chemosh! He gave his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to Sihon, king of the Amorites. But we shot at them; Heshbon has perished even to Dibon; and we have laid waste even to Nophah, which reaches even to Medebah. Numbers 21:27-30.

These prophetical utterances embody heavenly arcana in the same way as the prophetical parts of the Old Testament. This is quite evident not only from the fact that Moses copied them and applied them to the state of affairs prevailing in his own day, but also from the fact that almost the same words occur in Jeremiah. Included there among his prophetical sayings, they hold - as becomes clear from what has been stated about the internal sense of the Word - as many heavenly arcana within them as they consist of words. Those sayings as they occur in Jeremiah are as follows,

A fire has gone out of Heshbon, and a flame from between Sihon, and has devoured the corner of Moab and the crown of the head of the sons of tumult. Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh have perished, for your sons have been taken away into captivity, and your daughters into captivity. Jeremiah 48:45-46.

From this also it is evident that that Word too possessed an internal sense. Regarding the Ancient Church after the Flood, see 640, 641, 765, 1238, 1327, 2385.
