1 Вот что должен ты совершить над ними, чтобы посвятить их во священники Мне: возьми одного тельца из волов, и двух овнов без порока,

2 и хлебов пресных, и опресноков, смешанных с елеем, и лепешекпресных, помазанных елеем: из муки пшеничной сделай их,

3 и положи их в одну корзину, и принеси их в корзине, и вместе тельца и двух овнов.

4 Аарона же и сынов его приведи ко входу в скинию собрания и омой их водою.

5 И возьми одежды, и облеки Аарона в хитон и в верхнюю ризу, в ефод и в наперсник, и опояшь его по ефоду;

6 и возложи ему на голову кидар и укрепи диадиму святыни на кидаре;

7 и возьми елей помазания, и возлей ему на голову, и помажь его.

8 И приведи также сынов его и облеки их в хитоны;

9 и опояшь их поясом, Аарона и сынов его, и возложи на них повязки ибудет им принадлежать священство по уставу на веки; и наполни руки Аарона и сынов его.

10 И приведи тельца пред скинию собрания, и возложат Аарон и сыны его руки свои на голову тельца,

11 и заколи тельца пред лицем Господним при входе вскинию собрания;

12 возьми крови тельца и возложи перстом твоим на роги жертвенника, а всю кровь вылей у основания жертвенника;

13 возьми весь тук, покрывающий внутренности, и сальник с печени, иобе почки и тук, который на них, и воскури на жертвеннике;

14 а мясо тельца и кожу его и нечистоты его сожги на огне вне стана: это – жертва за грех.

15 И возьми одного овна, и возложат Аарон и сыны его руки свои на голову овна;

16 и заколи овна, и возьми крови его, и покропи на жертвенник со всех сторон;

17 рассеки овна на части, вымой внутренности его и голени его, и положи их на рассеченные части его и на голову его;

18 и сожги всего овна на жертвеннике. Это всесожжение Господу, благоухание приятное, жертва Господу.

19 Возьми и другого овна, и возложат Аарон и сыны его руки свои на голову овна;

20 и заколи овна, и возьми крови его, и возложи на край правого уха Ааронова и на край правого уха сынов его, и на большой палец правой руки их, и на большой палец правой ноги их; и покропи кровью на жертвенник со всех сторон;

21 и возьми крови, которая на жертвеннике, и елея помазания, и покропи на Аарона и на одежды его, и на сынов его, и на одежды сынов его с ним, – и будут освящены, он и одежды его, и сыны его и одежды их с ним.

22 И возьми от овна тук и курдюк, и тук, покрывающий внутренности, и сальник с печени, и обе почки и тук, который на них, правое плечо,

23 и один круглый хлеб, одну лепешку на елее и один опреснок из корзины, которая пред Господом,

24 и положи все на руки Аарону и на руки сынам его, и принеси это,потрясая пред лицем Господним;

25 и возьми это с рук их и сожги на жертвеннике со всесожжением, в благоухание пред Господом: это жертва Господу.

26 И возьми грудь от овна вручения, который для Аарона, и принеси ее,потрясая пред лицем Господним, – и это будет твоя доля;

27 и освяти грудь приношения, которая потрясаема была и плечо возношения, которое было возносимо, от овна вручения, который для Аарона и для сынов его, –

28 и будет это Аарону и сынам его в участок вечный от сынов Израилевых, ибо это – возношение; возношение должно быть от сынов Израилевых при мирных жертвах, возношение их Господу.

29 А священные одежды, которые для Аарона, перейдут после него к сынам его, чтобы в них помазывать их и вручать им священство ;

30 семь дней должен облачаться в них священник из сынов его, заступающий его место, который будет входить в скинию собрания для служения во святилище.

31 Овна же вручения возьми и свари мясо его на месте святом;

32 и пусть съедят Аарон и сыны его мясо овна сего из корзины, у дверей скинии собрания,

33 ибо чрез это совершено очищение для вручения им священства и для посвящения их; посторонний не должен есть сего , ибо это святыня;

34 если останется от мяса вручения и от хлеба до утра, то сожгиостаток на огне: не должно есть его, ибо это святыня.

35 И поступи с Аароном и с сынами его во всем так, как Я повелел тебе; в семь дней наполняй руки их.

36 И тельца за грех приноси каждый день для очищения, и жертву за грех совершай на жертвеннике для очищения его,и помажь его для освящения его;

37 семь дней очищай жертвенник, и освяти его, и будет жертвенниксвятыня великая: все, прикасающееся к жертвеннику, освятится.

38 Вот что будешь ты приносить на жертвеннике: двух агнцев однолетних каждый день постоянно.

39 одного агнца приноси поутру, а другого агнца приноси вечером,

40 и десятую часть ефы пшеничной муки, смешанной с четвертью гина битого елея, а для возлияния четверть гина вина, для одного агнца;

41 другого агнца приноси вечером: с мучным даром,подобным утреннему, и с таким же возлиянием приноси его в благоухание приятное, в жертву Господу.

42 Это – всесожжение постоянное в роды ваши пред дверями скинии собрания пред Господом, где буду открываться вам, чтобы говорить с тобою;

43 там буду открываться сынам Израилевым, и освятится место сие славою Моею.

44 И освящу скинию собрания и жертвенник; и Аарона и сынов его освящу, чтобы они священнодействовали Мне;

45 и буду обитать среди сынов Израилевых, и буду имБогом,

46 и узнают, что Я Господь, Бог их, Который вывел их из земли Египетской, чтобы Мне обитать среди них. Я Господь, Бог их.

10083. 'And you shall wave them as a wave offering before Jehovah' means the life from God which comes as a result of this. This is clear from the meaning of 'waving a wave offering' as endowing with life, thus the life [present in something]; and since it says from 'before Jehovah' the life from God is meant. The fact that 'waving a wave offering' means endowing with life, that is, imparting the life from God, is clear from places in the Word where 'waving a wave offering' is spoken of, as in Moses,

When you bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest, he shall wave the sheaf before Jehovah, so that you may be acceptable; on the day after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. Leviticus 23:10-11.

'Harvest' means a state when the truth of faith springing from good exists, thus a state when good is present, 9295; 'a sheaf of the firstfruits' means all collectively constituting that state. 'Being waved by the priest' therefore means being endowed with life to receive a blessing; for every blessing, to be a blessing, must have life from God within it.

[2] In the same author,

Aaron shall wave the Levites before Jehovah as a wave offering 1 from among the children of Israel, that they may be used in the service of Jehovah. You shall stand the Levites before Aaron and before his sons, and you shall wave them as a wave offering to Jehovah. After that the Levites shall go in to serve in the tent of meeting; and you shall purify them, and wave them as a wave offering. And when the Levites had been purified, Aaron waved them before Jehovah as a wave offering, and Aaron expiated them to purify them. Numbers 8:11, 13, 15, 21.

These verses show what 'waving a wave offering' means, namely endowing with life through acknowledgement, which is the first phase of faith, and so the first phase of life from God with a person. Knowledge, it is true, comes before acknowledgement, but knowledge has none of God's life within it until it becomes acknowledgement and then faith. The Levites represented truths serving good, while Aaron represented the good they served; that is why they were 'waved', that is, were endowed with life. This also accounts for its being said that they were to be purified. For truths must have life from God within them if they are to serve good, and that life first flows in through acknowledgement.

[3] Much the same is meant by 'a wave offering of gold' in Moses,

They came, the men with the women ... they brought brooches, nose-jewels, rings, girdles 2 , all vessels of gold; and every man who waved a wave offering of gold to Jehovah. Exodus 35:22.

'Waving a wave offering of gold to Jehovah' means endowing with life through the acknowledgement that it was Jehovah's, that is, the Lord's. 'Waving a wave offering' means such things by virtue of what that action corresponds to; for every motion corresponds to a state of thought. In the Word therefore advancing, travelling on, and like movements mean states of life, see 3335, 4882, 5493, 5605, 8103, 8417, 8420, 8557.

[4] In John,

At the pool of Bethesda lay a large multitude of sick people; and an angel went down at a certain time to the pool and stirred up the water. Then whoever stepped in first after the movement of the water was cured of whatever disease he had. John 5:2-7.

'Stirring up the water' here was in like manner a sign of the endowment of life through acknowledgement and faith, and therefore also a sign of purification by means of truths.

'Movement' means states of life, see 2837, 3356, 3387, 4321, 4882, 5605, 7381, 9440, 9967.

'Water' means the truths of faith, 2702, 3058, 3424, 4976, 8568, 9323.

All purification is accomplished by means of the truths of faith, 2799, 5954 (end), 7044, 7918, 9088.

Healings represented the restoration of spiritual life, 8365, 9031 (end).

[5] Since 'the waving on Aaron's palms' means the endowment of life through acknowledgement of the Lord and the acknowledgement that all things come from Him, something brief must be stated with regard to that acknowledgement and resulting faith. The Lord often said, when sick people were being healed, that they should have faith, and, 'Let it be to you according to your faith', as in Matthew 8:10-13; 9:2, 22, 27-29; 13:57-58; 15:28; 21:21-22, 31-32; Mark 5:34, 36; 10:49, 52; 16:16; Luke 7:9, 48-50; 8:48; 17:19; 18:42-43. The reason why He said it was that the very first thing a person needs to do is to acknowledge that the Lord is the Saviour of the world; for unless he acknowledges this no one can receive any truth or good at all from heaven, or therefore receive faith from there. And since it was the very first and most essential thing, therefore in order that He might be acknowledged when He came into the world the Lord questioned the sick, when He healed them, about their faith; and those who had faith were healed. This faith was that He was the Son of God who was to come into the world, and that He had power to heal and save. Furthermore every healing of sickness by the Lord when He was in the world served to mean a healing of spiritual life, thus served to mean the things that belong to salvation, 8364, 9031(end), 9086.

[6] Since acknowledgement of the Lord is the first thing of all belonging to spiritual life and is the most essential feature of the Church, and since no one, unless he acknowledges Him, can receive any truth of faith or good of love at all from heaven, the Lord also often says that whoever believes in Him has eternal life, and whoever does not believe in Him does not have it, as in John 1:1, 4, 12-13; 3:14-16, 36; 5:39-40; 6:28-30, 33-35, 40, 47-48; 7:37-38; 8:24; 11:25-26; 20:30-31. But at the same time He also teaches that they have faith in Him who live according to His commandments, so that the life which results from doing so goes to compose their faith. These things have been stated to cast light on and corroborate the truth that acknowledging the Lord and acknowledging that all salvation comes from Him constitute the beginning of the life from God with a person. That beginning of it is meant by the offering waved on Aaron's palms.

3424. 'Isaac's servants dug in the valley and found there a well of living water' means the Word as regards the literal sense, which holds the internal sense within it. This is clear from the meaning of 'digging in the valley' as investigating lower down to discover where truths are, for 'digging' is investigating, and 'a valley' is that which is lower down, 1723, 3417; and from the meaning of 'a well of living water' as the Word in which Divine truths are present, thus the Word as regards the literal sense which holds the internal sense within it. It is well known that the Word is called 'a spring', in particular 'a spring of living waters'. The reason why the Word is also called 'a well' is that in relation to its other senses the sense of the letter is like a well, and that where spiritual people are concerned the Word is not a spring but a well, see 2702, 3096. Since a valley is that which is lower down, or what amounts to the same, that which is more external, and it was in the valley that the spring was found; and since the literal sense is the lower or more external sense of the Word, it is the literal sense that is therefore meant. But because that sense holds the internal sense, that is, the heavenly and Divine sense, its waters are for that reason called 'living', as also were the waters which went out under the threshold of the new house in Ezekiel,

And it will happen, that every wild creature that creeps, wherever the river comes to, is living; and there will be very many fish, for those waters go there, and become fresh; and everything is living where the river goes. Ezekiel 47:8-9.

Here 'the river' is the Word, 'the waters which cause everything to live' are the Divine Truths within it, 'fish' are facts, 40, 991.

[2] The Lord teaches that the Word of the Lord is such that it gives life to him who is thirsty, that is, to one who desires life, and that it is a spring whose waters are living, in John,

Jesus said to the woman from Samaria at Jacob's well, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, Give Me a drink, you would ask from Him, and He would give you living water. He who drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst, but the water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up into eternal life. John 4:10, 14.

The reason why the Word is living and therefore confers life is that in its highest sense the subject is the Lord, while in the inmost sense it is His kingdom in which the Lord is everything. And this being so it is life itself which the Word contains and which flows into the minds of those who read the Word devoutly. This is why the Lord, in regard to the Word which comes from Himself, calls Himself 'a spring of water welling up into eternal life'; see also 2702.

[3] The fact that the Word of the Lord is called 'a well' in addition to 'a spring' is clear in Moses,

Israel sang the song: Spring up, O well! Answer to it! The well which the princes dug, which the chiefs of the people dug out, as directed by the Lawgiver, 1 with their staves. Numbers 21:17-18.

These words were sung at the place Beer, that is, the place of the well. In this case 'a well' means the Word which existed with the Ancient Church, as is evident from what has been said previously about the Word in 2897. 'The princes' means the first and foremost truths of which [the Word] consists - 'princes' being first and foremost truths, see 1482, 2089 - 'nobles of the people' lower truths such as those present in the literal sense, 1259, 1260, 2928, 3295. 'The Lawgiver' is clearly the Lord, 'staves' the powers which those truths possessed.
