1 I reče Gospod Mojsiju pošto pogiboše dva sina Aronova, a pogiboše kad pristupiše pred Gospoda,

2 I kaza Gospod Mojsiju: Reci Aronu, bratu svom, da ne ulazi u svako doba u svetinju za zaves pred zaklopac koji je na kovčegu, da ne pogine, jer ću se u oblaku nad zaklopcem javljati.

3 S ovim neka ulazi Aron u svetinju: s juncem za žrtvu radi greha i s ovnom za žrtvu paljenicu.

4 Svetu košulju lanenu neka obuče, i gaće lanene neka su na telu njegovom, i neka se opaše pojasom lanenim i kapu lanenu neka metne na glavu; to su haljine svete, i neka opere telo svoje vodom, pa onda neka ih obuče.

5 A od zbora sinova Izrailjevih neka uzme dva jarca za žrtvu radi greha, i jednog ovna za žrtvu paljenicu.

6 I neka prinese Aron junca svog na žrtvu za greh i očisti sebe i dom svoj.

7 Potom neka uzme dva jarca, i neka ih metne pred Gospoda na vrata šatora od sastanka.

8 I neka Aron baci žreb za ta dva jarca, jedan žreb Gospodu a drugi žreb Azazelu.

9 I neka Aron prinese na žrtvu jarca na kog padne žreb Gospodnji, neka ga prinese na žrtvu za greh.

10 A jarca na kog padne žreb Azazelov neka metne živa pred Gospoda, da učini očišćenje na njemu, pa neka ga pusti u pustinju Azazelu.

11 I neka Aron prinese junca svog na žrtvu za greh i očisti sebe i dom svoj, i neka zakolje junca svog na žrtvu za greh.

12 I neka uzme kadionicu punu žeravice s oltara, koji je pred Gospodom, i pune pregršti kada mirisnog istucanog, i neka unese za zaves.

13 I neka metne kad na oganj pred Gospodom, da dim od kada zakloni zaklopac koji je na svedočanstvu; tako neće poginuti.

14 Posle neka uzme krvi od junca i pokropi s prsta svog po zaklopcu prema istoku, a pred zaklopcem neka sedam puta pokropi tom krvlju s prsta svog.

15 I neka zakolje jarca na žrtvu za greh narodni, i neka učini s krvlju njegovom kao što je učinio s krvlju junčijom, i pokropi njom po zaklopcu i pred zaklopcem.

16 I tako će očistiti svetinju od nečistota sinova Izrailjevih i od prestupa njihovih u svim gresima njihovim; tako će učiniti i u šatoru od sastanka, koji je među njima usred nečistota njihovih.

17 A niko da ne bude u šatoru od sastanka kad on uđe da čini očišćenje u svetinji, dokle ne izađe i svrši očišćenje za se i za dom svoj i za sav zbor izrailjski.

18 A neka izađe k oltaru koji je pred Gospodom, i očisti ga; i uzevši krvi od junca i krvi od jarca neka pomaže rogove oltaru unaokolo;

19 I neka ga pokropi odozgo istom krvlju s prsta svog sedam puta; tako će ga očistiti i posvetiti ga od nečistota sinova Izrailjevih.

20 A kad očisti svetinju i šator od sastanka i oltar, tada neka dovede jarca živog.

21 I metnuvši Aron obe ruke svoje na glavu jarcu živom, neka ispovedi nad njim sva bezakonja sinova Izrailjevih i sve prestupe njihove u svim gresima njihovim, i metnuvši ih na glavu jarcu neka ga da čoveku spremnom da ga istera u pustinju.

22 I jarac će odneti na sebi sva bezakonja njihova u pustinju; i pustiće onog jarca u pustinju.

23 Potom neka opet uđe Aron u šator od sastanka i svuče haljine lanene koje je obukao kada je išao u svetinju, i onde neka ih ostavi.

24 Pa neka opere telo svoje na svetom mestu i obuče svoje haljine; i izašav neka prinese svoju žrtvu paljenicu, i očisti sebe i narod.

25 A salo od žrtve za greh neka zapali na oltaru.

26 A ko odvede jarca za Azazela, neka opere haljine svoje i okupa telo svoje u vodi, pa onda neka uđe u logor.

27 A junca za greh i jarca za greh, od kojih je krv unesena da se učini očišćenje u svetinji, neka iznesu napolje iz logora, i neka spale ognjem kože njihove i meso njihovo i balegu njihovu.

28 A ko ih spali, neka opere haljine svoje i okupa telo svoje u vodi, pa onda neka dođe u logor.

29 I ovo neka vam bude večna uredba: deseti dan sedmog meseca mučite duše svoje, i ne radite nikakav posao, ni domorodac ni došljak koji se bavi među vama.

30 Jer u taj dan biva očišćenje za vas, da se očistite; bićete očišćeni od svih greha svojih pred Gospodom.

31 To neka vam je počivanje subotno, i mučite duše svoje po uredbi večnoj.

32 A sveštenik koji bude pomazan i koji bude osvećen da vrši službu svešteničku na mesto oca svog, on neka očišća obukavši se u haljine lanene, haljine svete.

33 I neka očisti svetinju svetu i šator od sastanka; i oltar neka očisti; i sveštenike i sav narod sabrani neka očisti.

34 I ovo neka vam je večna uredba da očišćate sinove Izrailjeve od svih greha njihovih jedan put u godini. I učini Mojsije kako mu zapovedi Gospod.

9670. And thou shalt make a veil. That this signifies the intermediate which unites this heaven and the inmost heaven, thus spiritual good with celestial good, is evident from the signification of the “veil,” which made a division between the Habitation where was the ark of the Testimony, and the place where were the lampstand and the table on which were the breads of faces, as being the intermediate which unites the middle heaven and the inmost heaven; for by the ark in which was the Testimony was represented the inmost heaven, where the Lord is (see n. 9457, 9481, 9485), and by the Habitation outside the veil was represented the middle heaven (n. 9594). And as the good of love to the Lord makes the inmost heaven, and the good of charity toward the neighbor makes the middle heaven, therefore by the “veil” is also signified the intermediate which unites spiritual good and celestial good. Spiritual good is the good of charity toward the neighbor, and celestial good is the good of love to the Lord (that the heavens are distinguished according to these goods, may be seen f rom the citations given above n. 9277). From all this it is now evident what is signified by the “veil,” both in the tabernacle and in the temple.

[2] These two heavens, namely the inmost and the middle, are so distinct that there is no entrance from the one into the other. But still they constitute one heaven by means of intermediate angelic societies, which are of such a genius that they can accede to the good of both heavens. These societies are what constitute the uniting intermediate which was represented by the veil. It has also been sometimes granted me to speak with angels from these societies. The quality of the angels of the inmost heaven, and the relative quality of the angels of the middle heaven, can be seen from correspondence. To the angels of the inmost heaven correspond those things in man which belong to the province of the heart, and to that of the cerebellum; but to the angels of the middle heaven correspond those things in man which belong to the province of the lungs, and to that of the cerebrum. The things that belong to the heart and the cerebellum are called involuntary and spontaneous, because they so appear; but those which belong to the lungs and the cerebrum are called voluntary. From this can in some measure be seen the nature of the perfection of the one heaven over the other, and also the nature of the difference between them. But to the intermediate angels who accede to both heavens, and conjoin them, correspond the cardiac and pulmonary networks of blood vessels by means of which is effected the conjunction of the heart with the lungs; and also the medulla oblongata, in which the fiber of the cerebellum is conjoined with the fiber of the cerebrum.

[3] (That the angels who are of the Lord’s celestial kingdom, that is, who are in the inmost heaven, constitute the province of the heart in the Grand Man; and that the angels who are of the Lord’s spiritual kingdom, that is, who are in the middle heaven, constitute the province of the lungs, see n. 3635, 3886-3890; also that from this comes the correspondence of the heart and of the lungs in man, n. 3883-3896.) It is the same with the correspondence of the cerebrum and the cerebellum. The quality of the celestial, or of those who are in the inmost heaven, and the quality of the spiritual, or of those who are in the middle heaven; and the difference between them, may be seen above (n. 2046, 2227, 2669, 2708, 2715, 2718, 2935, 2937, 2954, 3166, 3235-3236, 3240, 3246, 3374, 3833, 3887, 3969, 4138, 4286, 4493, 4585, 4938, 5113, 5150, 5922, 6289, 6296, 6366, 6427, 6435, 6500, 6647, 6648, 7091, 7233, 7877, 7977, 7992, 8042, 8152, 8234, 8521). From this it can be seen what is the quality of the intermediate angels who constitute the uniting intermediate which was represented by the veil.

[4] That the veil of the temple was rent in twain when the Lord suffered the cross (Matthew 27:51; Mark 15:38; Luke 23:45) signified His glorification; for when the Lord was in the world, He made His Human Divine truth; but when He departed out of the world, He made His Human Divine good, from which the Divine truth now proceeds (see the citations in n. 9199, 9315). Divine good is the holy of holies.

[5] The glorification of the Lord’s Human even to the Divine good which is “Jehovah,” is also described in the internal sense by the process of expiation, when Aaron entered into the holy of holies within the veil (Leviticus 16); and in the relative sense by the same process is described the regeneration of man even to celestial good, which is the good of the inmost heaven. The process referred to was as follows. Aaron was to take a bullock for a sacrifice, and a ram for a burnt-offering, for himself and his house; and he was to put on the garments of holiness, which were a tunic of linen, breeches of linen, a belt of linen, and a miter of linen, and to wash his flesh in water. And he was to take two he-goats, and cast lots upon them; and one of these was to be offered to Jehovah, and the other to be sent forth into the wilderness; the latter for the assembly of the sons of Israel. When he sacrificed the bullock he was to bring incense within the veil and to sprinkle of the blood of the bullock and of the he-goat seven times upon the propitiatory [mercy seat] eastward, and also to put blood upon the horns of the altar.

Afterward he was to confess the sins of the sons of Israel, which he was to put upon the he-goat, and this was to be sent forth into the wilderness. Lastly he was to put off the garments of linen, and to put on his own, and to make a burnt-offering for himself and for the people. The sacrifices that were not to be offered are stated. This was to be done every year, when Aaron entered into the holy of holies within the veil. The priesthood which Aaron administered represented the Lord as to Divine good, even as the regal office which was afterward vested in the kings represented the Lord as to Divine truth (n. 6148). The process of the glorification of the Lord’s Human even to Divine good is here described in the internal sense. This process was exhibited to the angels when Aaron performed these things and entered within the veil, and it is also now exhibited to them when this portion of the Word is read.

[6] By “the bullock for the sin-offering,” and by “the ram for a burnt-offering,” is signified the purification of good from evils in the external and in the internal man; by “the tunic of linen, the breeches of linen, the belt of linen, and the miter of linen,” which he was to put on when he entered in, and by “the washing of his flesh,” is signified that the purification was effected by means of truths from good; by “the two he-goats of the goats for a sin-offering,” and by “the ram for a burnt-offering,” and by “the he-goat which was offered,” and by the other one that was “sent forth,” is signified the purification of truth from falsities in the external man; by “the incense which he was to bring within the veil,” is signified adaptation; by “the blood of the bullock; and the blood of the he-goat which was to be sprinkled seven times upon the propitiatory [mercy seat] eastward and afterward upon the horns of the altar,” is signified Divine truth from Divine good; by “the confession of sins over the living goat, which was to be sent forth into the wilderness,” is signified a complete separation and casting out of evil from good; by his “putting off the garments of linen, and putting on his own garments,” when he was to offer the burnt-offerings, also by “the bringing forth of the flesh, the skin, and the dung of the sacrifices outside the camp and burning them,” is signified the putting on of celestial good with a regenerate person, and the glorification in the Lord of the Human even to Divine good, after all those things had been rejected which were of the human derived from the mother, even until He was no longer her son (see the citations in n. 9315). These are the things which are signified by this process of purification, when Aaron entered into the holy of holies within the veil; for after these things had been performed, Aaron represented the Lord as to Divine good. From all this it can be seen that by “the veil between the holy and the holy of holies” is also signified the intermediate uniting the Divine truth and the Divine good in the Lord.
