1 A kad stanete deliti zemlju u nasledstvo, prinesite prinos Gospodu, sveti deo od zemlje, u dužinu dvadeset i pet hiljada lakata, i u širinu deset hiljada, to neka bude sveto po svim međama svojim unaokolo.

2 Od toga neka bude za svetinju pet stotina lakata u dužinu i pet stotina u širinu, četvrtasto od svuda, i pedeset lakata u naokolo za podgrađa.

3 Po toj meri izmeri u dužinu dvadeset i pet hiljada i u širinu deset hiljada, i tu neka bude svetinja i svetinja nad svetinjama.

4 To neka bude svet deo od zemlje sveštenicima, koji služe u svetinji, koji pristupaju da služe Gospodu, i neka im bude mesto za kuće i sveto mesto za svetinju.

5 A dvadeset i pet hiljada lakata u dužinu i deset hiljada u širinu neka bude Levitima koji služe u domu u državu s dvadeset kleti.

6 I gradu podajte dostojanje pet hiljada lakata u širinu i dvadeset i pet hiljada u dužinu prema svetom delu; to neka je za sav dom Izrailjev.

7 A knezu neka bude s obe strane svetog dela i dostojanja gradskog pred svetim delom i pred gradskim dostojanjem, sa zapadne strane na zapad i s istočne strane na istok, a dužina da bude prema svakom od tih delova od zapadne međe do istočne međe.

8 Ta zemlja da mu je dostojanje u Izrailju, da više ne otimaju knezovi moji od naroda mog, nego ostalu zemlju da daju domu Izrailjevom po plemenima njihovim.

9 Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Dosta je, knezovi Izrailjevi; prođite se nasilja i otimanja, i tvorite sud i pravdu, i skinite teške poslove svoje s mog naroda, govori Gospod Gospod.

10 Merila da su vam prava, i efa prava, i vat prav.

11 Efa i vat da su jedne mere, da vat bere desetinu homora, i efa desetinu homora; mera da im je prema homoru.

12 I sikal da je dvadeset gera, a mina da vam je dvadeset sikala, dvadeset i pet sikala, i petnaest sikala.

13 Ovo je prinos što ćete prinositi: Šestina efe od homora pšenice, tako i od ječma dajte šestinu efe od homora.

14 A za ulje je uredba ova: vat je mera za ulje; desetina vata od jednog kora, koji je homor od deset vata, jer je deset vata homor.

15 A od sitne stoke jedno od dve stotine s dobrih pasišta sinova Izrailjevih za dar i za žrtvu paljenicu i za žrtvu zahvalnu, da se čini očišćenje za njih, govori Gospod Gospod.

16 Sav narod zemaljski da daje ovaj prinos knezu Izrailjevom.

17 A knez je dužan davati žrtve paljenice s darom i nalivom na praznike i na mladine i u subote, o svim svetkovinama doma Izrailjevog; on neka prinosi žrtvu za greh s darom i žrtvu paljenicu i zahvalnu da čini očišćenje za dom Izrailjev.

18 Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Prvog dana prvog meseca uzmi junca zdravog, i očisti svetinju njim.

19 I neka sveštenik uzme krvi od te žrtve za greh, i pomaže njom dovratnike na domu i četiri ugla od pojasa na oltaru i dovratnike od vrata na unutrašnjem tremu.

20 Tako učini i sedmog dana istog meseca za svakog koji zgreši iz neznanja i za prostog; tako ćete očistiti dom.

21 Prvog meseca četrnaestog dana da vam je pasha, praznik sedam dana, hlebovi presni da se jedu.

22 I taj dan neka prinese knez za se i za sav narod zemaljski junca na žrtvu za greh.

23 A za sedam dana praznika neka prinosi na žrtvu paljenicu Gospodu po sedam junaca i sedam ovnova zdravih na dan, za onih sedam dana, i na žrtvu za greh jarca na dan.

24 I za dar po efu na junca i efu na ovna neka prinosi, i in ulja na svaku efu.

25 Sedmog meseca petnaestog dana na praznik neka prinosi isto tako za sedam dana i žrtvu za greh i žrtvu paljenicu i dar i ulje.

576. That the number ten means remnants, just as tenths do, becomes clear from the following places: In Isaiah,

Many houses will be a desolation, large and beautiful ones, without inhabitant, for ten acres of vineyard will yield but one bath, and a homer of seed will yield an ephah. Isaiah 5:9-10.

This refers to the vastation of spiritual and celestial things. 'Ten acres of vineyard will yield but one bath' stands for remnants of spiritual things being so few, while 'a homer of seed will yield an ephah' stands for remnants of celestial things being so few. In the same prophet,

And there will be many forsaken places in the midst of the land; and yet there will be a tenth part in it, and this will return; it will be however an uprooting. Isaiah 6:12-13.

'The midst of the land' stands for the internal man, 'a tenth part' for such a small quantity of remnants. In Ezekiel,

You shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath. The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, the bath containing a tenth of a homer; and the ephah a tenth of a homer, the measure for it shall be after the homer. And the fixed portion of oil, of the bath of oil, shall be a tenth of a bath from a cor, which is ten baths to the homer; for ten baths are a homer. Ezekiel 45:10-11, 14.

The quantities mentioned here relate to holy things, which are Jehovah's. They mean different kinds of holy things. 'Ten' here means remnants of celestial things and so of spiritual things. For what are the specific numerical quantities mentioned in this and in previous chapters of this prophet where the heavenly Jerusalem and the new Temple are the subject, and in other prophets, and also in the various rites of the Jewish Church, if they do not contain sacred arcana?

[2] In Amos,

She has fallen, no more to rise, the virgin of Israel. Thus said the Lord Jehovah, The city that goes forth a thousand will have remnants of a hundred, and that which goes forth a hundred will have remnants of ten to the house of Israel. Amos 5:2-3.

The word 'remnants' is used here, of which only a fraction will remain, for this is only a tenth part, or the remnants of remnants. In the same prophet,

I hate the pride of Jacob and his palaces, and I will shut up the city and all that is in it. And it will be that if ten men will have remained in one house, they will die. Amos 6:8-9.

'Ten' stands for remnants that are not likely to remain. In Moses,

The Ammonite and the Moabite shall not come into the assembly of Jehovah; even the tenth generation belonging to them shall not come into the assembly of Jehovah forever. Deuteronomy 23:3.

'The Ammonite and the Moabite' stands for the profanation of the celestial and the spiritual things of faith, the remnants of which have been dealt with already.

[3] From this it is clear that 'tenths' represents remnants, of which Malachi speaks as follows,

Bring all the tithes 1 to the treasure-house, that there may be plunder in My house, and let them put Me to the test in this matter whether I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing for you. Malachi 3:10.

'That there may be plunder in My house stands for remnants in the internal man, which are likened to 'plunder' because they are implanted, so to speak, by stealth among so many evils and falsities; and by way of such remnants comes every blessing. The fact that the whole of a person's charity comes to him by way of the remnants that are in the internal man was also represented in the Jewish Church by the requirement that once they had paid their tithes, 1 they were then to give to the Levite, the stranger, the orphan, and the widow, Deuteronomy 26:12 and following verses.

[4] Since remnants are the Lord' s alone, tenths are therefore called 'Holiness to Jehovah', and are spoken of in Moses as follows,

All the tithes 1 of the land - of the seed of the land, of the fruit of the tree - are Jehovah's; they are Holiness to Jehovah. All tithes 1 of the herd and of the flock, every tenth one that passes under the (herdsman's) staff shall be Holiness to Jehovah. Leviticus 27:30, 32.

Since the Decalogue consisted of Ten Commandments, or Ten Words, and Jehovah wrote them on tablets, Deuteronomy 10:4, remnants are meant; and the fact that they were written by the hand of Jehovah means that such remnants are the Lord's alone. Their presence in the internal man was represented by the tablets.
