Izlazak 30

Studie

   

1 Još načini oltar kadioni, od drveta sitima načini ga.

2 Dužina neka mu bude lakat, i širina lakat, četvorouglast da bude, i dva lakta visok; iz njega neka mu izlaze rogovi.

3 I pokuj ga čistim zlatom, ozgo sa strana unaokolo, i rogove njegove; i načini mu venac zlatan unaokolo.

4 I načini mu po dva biočuga zlatna ispod venca na dva ugla njegova s obe strane, i kroz njih ćeš provući poluge da se može nositi.

5 A poluge načini od drveta sitima, i okuj ih u zlato.

6 I metni ga pred zaves koji visi pred kovčegom od svedočanstva prema zaklopcu koji je nad svedočanstvom, gde ću se s tobom sastajati.

7 I neka kadi na njemu Aron kadom mirisnim; svako jutro neka kadi kad spremi žiške.

8 I kad zapali Aron žiške uveče, neka kadi; neka bude kad svagdašnji pred Gospodom od kolena do kolena vašeg.

9 Ne prinosite na njemu kad tuđi niti žrtvu paljenicu niti prinos; ni naliv ne lijte na njemu.

10 Samo očišćenje neka čini nad rogovima njegovim Aron jednom u godini; krvlju od žrtve za greh u dan očišćenja jednom u godini činiće očišćenja na njemu od koljena do koljena vašeg; jer je to svetinja nad svetinjama Gospodu.

11 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

12 Kad staneš brojati sinove Izrailjeve, između onih koji idu u broj svaki neka dade otkup za život svoj Gospodu, kad ih staneš brojati, da ne bi došlo na njih kakvo zlo kad ih staneš brojati.

13 A neka da svaki koji ide u broj pola sikla, po siklu svetom (a taj je sikal dvadeset novčića); pola sikla biće prilog Gospodu.

14 Ko god ide u boj, od dvadeset godina i više, neka da prilog Gospodu.

15 Bogati da ne da više a siromah da ne da manje od po sikla, kad daju prilog Gospodu na očišćenje duša vaših.

16 I uzevši novce za očišćenje od sinova Izrailjevih ostavi ih za potrebu u šatoru od sastanka, i biće sinovima Izrailjevim spomen pred Gospodom za očišćenje duša vaših.

17 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

18 Načini i umivaonicu od bronze i podnožje joj od bronze za umivanje; i metni je između šatora od sastanka i oltara, i nalij u nju vode.

19 Da iz nje pere Aron i sinovi njegovi ruke svoje i noge svoje.

20 Kad idu u šator od sastanka, neka se umivaju vodom, da ne izginu, ili kad pristupaju k oltaru da služe i da pale žrtvu ognjenu Gospodu.

21 Tada neka peru ruke svoje i noge svoje da ne izginu. To neka im bude uredba večna Aronu i semenu njegovom od kolena do kolena.

22 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

23 Uzmi mirisa najboljih: smirne najčistije pet stotina sikala i cimeta mirisavog pola toliko, dvesta pedeset, i iđirota takođe dvesta pedeset,

24 I kasije pet stotina merom svetom, i ulja maslinovog jedan in.

25 I od toga načini ulje za sveto pomazanje, ulje najbolje veštinom apotekarskom; to da bude ulje svetog pomazanja.

26 I njim pomaži šator od sastanka i kovčeg od svedočanstva,

27 I sto i sve sprave njegove, i svećnjak i sprave njegove, i oltar kadioni,

28 I oltar na kome se prinosi žrtva paljenica, i sve sprave njegove, i umivaonicu i podnožje njeno.

29 Tako ćeš ih osvetiti, te će biti svetinja nad svetinjom, i šta ih se god dotakne biće sveto.

30 Pomaži i Arona i sinove njegove, i osvetićeš ih da mi budu sveštenici.

31 A sinovima Izrailjevim kaži i reci: Ovo neka mi bude ulje svetog pomazanja od kolena do kolena vašeg.

32 Telo čovečje neka se ne maže njim, niti pravite takvo ulje kakvo je ono; sveto je, neka vam bude sveto.

33 Ako li bi ko načinio tako ulje ili namazao njim drugog, istrebiće se iz naroda svog.

34 I reče Gospod Mojsiju: Uzmi mirisa, stakte, oniha i halvana mirisavog, i tamjana čistog, koliko jednog toliko drugog.

35 I od toga načini kad, sastavljen veštinom apotekarskom, čist i svet.

36 I istucavši ga nasitno, metaćeš ga pred svedočanstvom u šatoru od sastanka, gde ću se sastajati s tobom; to neka vam bude svetinja nad svetinjama.

37 A takav kad kakav načiniš nemojte sebi praviti; to neka ti je svetinja za Gospoda.

38 Ako li bi ko načinio takav da ga miriše, istrebiće se iz naroda svog.

10218. 'They shall give - each one - an expiation for his soul when they are numbered' means purification or deliverance from evil through the acknowledgement and belief that all the truths and forms of the good of faith and love come from the Lord, not at all from man, as does their being arranged in order. This is clear from the meaning of 'giving an expiation for his soul' as being purified or delivered from evil by means of the truth of faith, which here consists in acknowledging that all truths and forms of good come from the Lord; and from the meaning of 'numbering Israel' as their being arranged in order by the Lord alone and not by man. The fact that these things are meant is clear from all that has been stated here about the half shekel which had to be given to Jehovah and about expiation by means of it when the people were being numbered. For 'the shekel of holiness' means truth that is the Lord's alone; 'expiation by means of it' means purification or deliverance from evil, 9506; and 'numbering the children of Israel' means arranging and setting all of the Church's truths and forms of good in order, 10217.

[2] The implications of all this are that numbering the children of Israel was forbidden, because 'numbering' meant arranging and setting in order, and the children of Israel, and the tribes into which they had been divided, meant all the truths and forms of the good of faith and love in their entirety. And since the arrangement and setting of these in order belonged to the Lord alone and not to man, numbering them was a transgression like that committed by those who lay claim to the truths of faith and forms of the good of love as their own and to the arrangement and setting in order of them as their own doing. What these people are like is well known in the Church, for they are those who justify themselves through crediting all matters of faith and love to themselves, and consequently believing that because of the faith they have and the deeds they perform they merit heaven by their own efforts. This bad way of thinking is what David's numbering of the people denoted, spoken of as follows in the second Book of Samuel,

Again the anger of Jehovah flared up in Israel; therefore He moved David against them, saying, Go, number Israel and Judah. Therefore he said to Joab, Go through all the tribes of Israel and number the people, that I may know the number of the people. Joab said to the king, May Jehovah your God add to the people as many as there are already, as many a hundred times over! Yet why does my lord the king desire this thing 1 ? But the king's word prevailed against Joab and against the captains of the army. Consequently they went out to number the people Israel. Afterwards David's heart condemned 2 him. Consequently he said to Jehovah, I have sinned greatly [in] what I have done; but nevertheless, O Jehovah, make Your servant's iniquity, I beg you, pass away, for I have done very foolishly. But Gad the prophet was sent to David to choose one bad thing out of three; and he chose the pestilence, from which men died, up to seventy thousand. 2 Samuel 24:1ff.

[3] From all this it is evident how great a sin it was to number Israel. Not that the numbering was in itself a sin; rather, David's numbering of the children of Israel was a sin because, as has been stated, the arrangement and setting in order of all matters of faith and love by self and not by the Lord were meant by it. (The actual numbering meant the arranging and setting in order, while the children of Israel meant all the truths and forms of the good of faith and love.) In order therefore that they might be delivered from sin when a numbering of the children of Israel took place half a shekel was given for expiation; for it says,

They shall give - each one - an expiation for his soul to Jehovah when they are numbered, that there may be no plague among them when they are numbered.

From this it is evident that these words mean purification or deliverance from evil through the acknowledgement that all the truths and forms of the good of faith and love come from the Lord, not at all from man, as does their being arranged in order.

[4] It is also well known in the Church that this is so, that is to say, that all the forms of good and the truths of faith and love come from the Divine and not at all from man. It is well known too that attributing them to oneself is bad, and that those people are delivered from that bad way of thinking who acknowledge and believe that these things come from the Lord; for then they do not lay claim to anything that is Divine or that springs from the Divine. But see what has been shown previously on these matters,

Those who think that the good deeds they perform commence in self and not in the Lord think that they merit heaven, 9974.

Good deeds that commence in self and not in the Lord are not really good, since those who perform good deeds commencing in self do them from a bad motive, 9975, 9980.

They despise the neighbour, and they are irate with God Himself if they do not receive a reward, 9976.

Such people cannot receive heaven into themselves, 9977.

By no means can they fight against the hells; but the Lord fights on behalf of those who acknowledge and believe that all forms of good and all truths come from Him, 9978.

The Lord alone is merit and righteousness, 9486, 9715, 9809, 9979-9984, 10019, 10152.
