Izlazak 29

1 Učinićeš im ovo kad ih staneš osveštavati da mi vrše službu svešteničku: uzmi tele i dva ovna zdrava,

2 I hlebove presne i kolače presne zamešene s uljem, i pogače presne namazane uljem, od brašna pšeničnog umesi ih.

3 I metni ih u jednu kotaricu, i prinesi ih u kotarici s teletom i s dva ovna.

4 I dovedi Arona i sinove njegove pred vrata šatora od sastanka, i umij ih vodom.

5 I uzevši haljine obuci Aronu košulju i plašt ispod oplećka i oplećak i naprsnik, i opaši ga pojasom od oplećka.

6 I metni mu kapu na glavu i svetu ploču na kapu.

7 I uzmi ulje za pomazanje, i izlij mu na glavu, i pomazaćeš ga.

8 I sinove njegove dovedi i obuci im košulje;

9 I opaši ih pojasima, Arona i sinove njegove, i metni im kape na glave, da imaju sveštenstvo uredbom večnom. Tako ćeš posvetiti ruke Aronu i sinovima njegovim.

10 I dovedi tele pred šator od sastanka, a Aron i sinovi njegovi neka metnu ruke teletu na glavu.

11 I zakolji tele pred Gospodom na vratima šatora od sastanka.

12 I uzevši krvi od teleta pomaži rogove oltaru prstom svojim, a ostalu krv svu prolij na podnožje oltaru.

13 I uzmi sve salo po crevima, i mrežicu na jetri, i oba bubrega i salo oko njih, i zapali na oltaru.

14 A meso od teleta i kožu i balegu spali ognjem izvan logora; to je žrtva za greh.

15 Potom uzmi ovna jednog, i na glavu ovnu neka metnu ruke svoje Aron i sinovi njegovi.

16 I zakolji ovna i uzmi krvi od njega i pokropi oltar unaokolo.

17 A ovna izudi, i operi drob i noge, i metni ih na udove njegove i na glavu.

18 I svega ovna zapali na oltaru; to je žrtva paljenica Gospodu, miris ugodan, žrtva ognjena Gospodu.

19 Pa uzmi i drugog ovna, i neka mu metne Aron i sinovi njegovi ruke svoje na glavu.

20 I zakolji tog ovna, i uzmi krvi od njega i pomaži njom kraj od desnog uha Aronu i kraj od desnog uha sinovima njegovim, i palac u desne ruke njihove i palac u desne noge njihove, a ostalom krvlju pokropi oltar unaokolo.

21 I uzmi krvi koja bude na oltaru i ulja za pomazanje, i pokropi Arona i haljine njegove, i sinove njegove i haljine njihove, i biće svet on i haljine njegove i sinovi njegovi i haljine njihove.

22 Potom uzmi salo od ovna i rep i salo što je po crevima i mrežicu na jetri i oba bubrega i salo oko njih, i desno pleće; jer je ovan posvetni;

23 I jedan hleb i jedan kolač s uljem i jednu pogaču iz kotarice u kojoj budu presni hlebovi pred Gospodom.

24 I to sve metni u ruke Aronu i u ruke sinovima njegovim, i obrći tamo i amo, da bude žrtva obrtana pred Gospodom.

25 Po tom uzmi im to iz ruku, i zapali na oltaru svrh žrtve paljenice, da bude miris ugodan pred Gospodom; to je žrtva ognjena Gospodu.

26 I uzmi grudi od ovna posvetnog, koji bude za Arona, i obrtaćeš ih tamo i amo, da bude žrtva obrtana pred Gospodom; i to će biti tvoj deo.

27 Tako ćeš osvetiti grudi od žrtve obrtane i pleće od žrtve podizane, šta je obrtano i šta je podizano od ovna posvetnog za Arona i za sinove njegove.

28 I to će biti Aronu i sinovima njegovim uredbom večnom od sinova Izrailjevih, jer je žrtva podizana. Kad je žrtva podizana sinova Izrailjevih od njihovih žrtava zahvalnih, žrtva podizana biće Gospodu.

29 A svete haljine Aronove neka budu sinovima njegovim nakon njega da se pomazuju u njima i da im se u njima posvećuju ruke.

30 Sedam dana neka ih oblači koji na njegovo mesto bude sveštenik između sinova njegovih, koji će ulaziti u šator od sastanka da služi u svetinji.

31 A ovna posvetnog uzmi i skuvaj meso od njega na mestu svetom.

32 I Aron i sinovi njegovi neka na vratima šatora od sastanka jedu meso od tog ovna i hleb što je u kotarici.

33 Neka ga jedu oni za koje je bilo očišćenje da bi im se posvetile ruke da bi bili posvećeni; a drugi da ne jede, jer je stvar sveta.

34 Ako li bi ostalo šta mesa posvetnog ili hleba do jutra, onda što ostane sažeži ognjem, a da se ne jede, jer je stvar sveta.

35 I tako učini Aronu i sinovima njegovim po svemu što ti zapovedih; sedam dana svetićeš im ruke.

36 I svaki ćeš dan prinositi na žrtvu tele za greh radi očišćenja; i očistićeš oltar čineći očišćenje na njemu, i pomazaćeš ga da se osveti.

37 Sedam dana činićeš očišćenje na oltaru i osvetićeš ga, te će oltar biti svetinja nad svetinjama; šta se god dotakne oltara, biće sveto.

38 I ovo ćeš prinositi na oltaru: dva jagnjeta od godine svaki dan bez prekida.

39 Jedno jagnje prinosi jutrom a drugo prinosi večerom,

40 I još desetinu efe pšeničnog brašna smešana s uljem ceđenim, kog da bude četvrt ina, i naliv vina, četvrt ina na jedno jagnje.

41 A drugo jagnje prinesi uveče; kao sa žrtvom jutarnjom i s nalivom njenim tako i s ovom čini da bude miris ugodan, žrtva ognjena Gospodu.

42 To neka bude žrtva paljenica svagda od kolena do kolena vašeg na vratima šatora od sastanka pred Gospodom, gde ću se sastajati s vama da govorim s tobom.

43 I onde ću se sastajati sa sinovima Izrailjevim, da se osvećuje slavom mojom.

44 I osvetiću šator od sastanka i oltar; i Arona i sinove njegove osvetiću da su mi sveštenici.

45 I nastavaću među sinovima Izrailjevim, i biću im Bog.

46 I poznaće da sam ja Gospod Bog njihov, koji sam ih izveo iz zemlje misirske da nastavam među njima, ja Gospod Bog njihov.

10150. 'And I will sanctify the tent of meeting' means reception of the Lord in the lower heavens. This is clear from the meaning of 'sanctifying' as the reception of what is Divine and the Lord's, dealt with immediately above in 10149; and from the meaning of 'the tent of meeting' as the heavens, dealt with in 3478, 9457, 9481, 9485, 9963, the reason why the lower heavens are meant here being that the higher heavens are meant by 'the altar', see 10151 immediately below. What the lower heavens and the higher heavens are must be stated briefly here. The heavens are divided into two kingdoms, the celestial and the spiritual. The celestial kingdom comprises the higher heavens, and the spiritual kingdom the lower heavens. The intrinsic good of the celestial kingdom is the good of love to the Lord and the good of mutual love, whereas the intrinsic good of the spiritual kingdom is the good of charity towards the neighbour and the good of faith. The difference between these kingdoms is like that between the power of understanding and the power of will in the case of a person who has been regenerated, in general like the difference between goodness and truth. The nature of this difference may be recognized from what has been shown regarding those two kingdoms in the places referred to in 9277, also in what has been stated in 9543, 9688, 9992, 10005, 10068. The will furthermore is inmost in a person, being the person's true self, whereas the understanding lies adjacent and is subservient, and so is more external. What is more internal is also called higher, and what is more external is also called lower. For the correspondence of the celestial kingdom to the will and of the spiritual kingdom to the understanding with a person who has been regenerated, see 9835. All this shows what should be understood by the lower heavens and what by the higher heavens.

9688. 'The work of an embroiderer' means things that belong to factual knowledge. This is clear from the meaning of 'the work of an embroiderer', or embroidery, as factual knowledge. A large number of places in the Word speak of that which has been embroidered and of embroidery, and in every case factual knowledge is meant by it. The reason for this goes back to representatives in the next life; there garments embroidered in various ways are seen, and by these garments truths on the level of factual knowledge are meant.

[2] Truths on the level of factual knowledge differ from those on the level of the understanding in the same way as outward things differ from inward ones, or as the natural level with a person differs from the spiritual. Facts serve the understanding as objects from which it may deduce truths; for the power of understanding is the internal or spiritual man's power of sight, and known facts are its objects in the external or natural man. These facts are meant by 'the work of an embroiderer' whereas that power of understanding is meant by 'the work of a designer', 9598, for designing is a function of the understanding, and embroidering a function of the knowledge and skill employed by the understanding. This explains why the objects within the dwelling-place, which were signs meaning inner realities, were the work of a designer, such as the curtains that formed it, verse 1, and the veil between the holy place and the holy of holies, verse 31. But the objects which were signs meaning outer realities were the work of an embroiderer, such as the screen in place of a tent door, and the screen in place of a gate of the court, Exodus 38:18, and also the girdle, Exodus 39:29, 'the girdle' being what is external linking everything internal, 'the court' being the lowest part of heaven, and 'the tent door' the place where there is an exit from the middle heaven into the lowest.

[3] The fact that 'embroidery' and that which has been 'embroidered' mean factual knowledge belonging to the external or natural man is clear from the following places in the Word: In Ezekiel,

Fine linen with embroidery from Egypt was your sail; violet and purple from the islands of Elishah was your covering. Syria was your merchant by reason of the multitude of your handiworks; [they exchanged for your wares] chrysoprase and purple, and embroidered work, and fine linen. The merchants of Sheba [came] with balls of violet and with embroidered work. Ezekiel 27:7, 16, 24.

This refers to Tyre, by which those in possession of cognitions or knowledge of truth and good are meant, and in the abstract sense those cognitions themselves, 1201. 'Fine linen with embroidery' means truth on the level of factual knowledge, for 'fine linen' means truth from a celestial origin, 5319, 9469, and 'embroidery' is factual knowledge. This also is the reason why it says that it came from Egypt - for 'Egypt' means factual knowledge, 1164, 1165, 1186, 1462, 2588, 4749, 4964, 4966, 5700, 5702, 6004, 6015, 6125, 6651, 6679, 6683, 6692, 6750, 7779 (end), 9391 - and also from Syria and from Sheba, since cognitions of truth and good are meant by 'Syria', 1232, 1234, 3051, 3249, 3664, 3680, 4112, and in like manner by 'Sheba', 1171, 3240. Cognitions of truth and good constitute the Church's factual knowledge. Anybody endowed with the ability to think intelligently and weigh things up can see that in these verses from Ezekiel one should not understand embroidery, fine linen, violet, or purple, but that these commodities mean things such as are worthy of mention in the Word, namely spiritual realities that belong to heaven and the Church.

[4] In the same prophet,

All the princes of the sea will step down from upon their thrones, and will cast away their robes and will strip off their embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with tremblings. Ezekiel 26:16.

This too refers to Tyre. 'The princes of the sea' are the first and foremost known facts, which are called dogmas, 'princes' meaning things which are first and foremost, see 1482, 2089, 5044, and 'the sea' factual knowledge in general 28, 2850. 'Robes' are external truths, 'embroidered' are truths on the level of factual knowledge, which too are external ones. For the meaning of 'garments' as truths, 2576, 4545, 4763, 5248, 5319, 5954, 6914, 6917, 6918, 9093, 9158, 9212, 9216.

[5] In the same prophet,

I clothed you with embroidered cloth, and shod you with badger; I swathed you in fine linen and covered you with silk. Thus were you adorned with gold and silver; and your garments were fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. But you took your embroidered garments and covered the images, with which you committed whoredom. 1 Ezekiel 16:10, 13, 18.

This refers to Jerusalem, by which the Church is meant. 'Embroidered garments' stands for truths on the level of factual knowledge. 'Covering the images, with which she committed whoredom' stands for giving strength to falsities, for 'committing whoredom' means perverting truths by bringing them into contact with falsities or with evils. Is there anyone who cannot see that since these verses describe Jerusalem 'fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth' are not used to mean fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth? Yet what they really mean the Christian world does not seek to know, because it supposes that heavenly and spiritual matters in the Word reside in its literal sense; the more internal contents of the Word it calls mystical, but has no interest in them.

[6] In the same prophet,

A great eagle with great wings, with long pinions, full of feathers, 2 which had embroidery ... Ezekiel 17:3.

This refers to the house of Israel, which means the spiritual Church; and this Church is called 'an eagle' by virtue of its perception of truth, 3901, 8764, 'which had embroidery' standing for its possession of factual knowledge. In David,

All glorious is the king's daughter within, in her clothing with gold interweavings; in an embroidered [robe] she will be led to the king. Psalms 45:13-14.

'The king's daughter' stands for an affection for truth, 'an embroidered [robe]' for factual knowledge of truth. In the Book of Judges,

Will they not divide the spoil, ... the spoil of colours for Sisera, the spoil of colours of embroidered work, embroiderers' colour - on the necks of the spoil? 3 Judges 5:30.

In this verse, which is part of the Song of Deborah and Barak, 'embroidered [work]' stands for factual knowledge belonging to the natural man.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. Here verse 18 of Ezekiel 16 has become confused with the preceding verse 17.

2. literally, A great eagle, great with wings, long with pinions, and full with feathers,

3. The meaning in the Hebrew of this verse is very obscure. The Latin rendering by Sebastian Schmidt, which Swedenborg relies on here, is literal and equally difficult to make sense of.
