1 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

2 Kaži sinovima Izrailjevim, i reci im: Praznici Gospodnji, koje ćete zvati sveti sabori, ovo su praznici moji:

3 Šest dana radi, a sedmi dan, koji je subota za počivanje, neka bude sveti sabor, ne radite ni jedan posao; subota je Gospodnja po svim stanovima vašim.

4 Ovo su praznici Gospodnji, sabori sveti, na koje ćete se sabirati u vreme njihovo:

5 Četrnaestog dana prvog meseca uveče, pasha je Gospodnja.

6 A petnaestog dana istog meseca praznik je presnih hlebova Gospodu; sedam dana jedite hlebove presne.

7 Prvi dan neka vam bude sabor sveti, nikakav posao ropski ne radite.

8 Nego za sedam dana prinosite Gospodu žrtve ognjene; a sedmi dan neka je sabor sveti; ne radite nijedan posao ropski.

9 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

10 Kaži sinovima Izrailjevim, i reci im: Kad dođete u zemlju koju ću vam dati, i stanete žeti u njoj, tada donesite snop prvina od žetve svoje k svešteniku;

11 A on neka obrće snop pred Gospodom, da bi vam se primio; sutradan po suboti neka ga obrće sveštenik.

12 A isti dan kad budete obrtali snop, prinesite jagnje od godine dana zdravo na žrtvu paljenicu Gospodu;

13 I dar uza nj, dve desetine efe belog brašna zamešenog s uljem, da bude žrtva ognjena Gospodu na ugodni miris; i naliv uza nj, vina četvrt ina.

14 A hleba, ni zrna prženog ni zrna u klasu nemojte jesti do onog dana kad prinesete žrtvu Bogu svom; to da vam je večna uredba od kolena do kolena po svim stanovima vašim.

15 Potom od prvog dana po suboti, od dana kad prinesete snop za žrtvu obrtanu, brojte sedam nedelja punih;

16 Do prvog dana po sedmoj nedelji nabrojte pedeset dana; onda prinesite nov dar Gospodu.

17 Iz stanova svojih donesite dva hleba za žrtvu obrtanu; od dve desetine efe belog brašna da budu, s kvascem neka budu pečeni; to su prvine Gospodu.

18 A s tim hlebom prinesite sedam jaganjaca od godine zdravih, i jedno tele i dva ovna, da bude žrtva paljenica Gospodu s darovima svojim i nalivima svojim, da bude žrtva ognjena na ugodni miris Gospodu.

19 Zakoljite i jarca jednog za greh i dva jagnjeta od godine za žrtvu zahvalnu.

20 I sveštenik neka to obrne tamo i amo s hlebom od prvina i sa dva jagnjeta na žrtvu obrtanu pred Gospodom; i biće svete stvari Gospodu za sveštenika.

21 I saberite se u onaj dan, sabor sveti da vam je; nijedan posao ropski ne radite zakonom večnim po svim stanovima svojim od kolena do kolena.

22 A kad stanete žeti u zemlji svojoj, nemoj sasvim požnjeti njive svoje, ni pabirči po žetvi; ostavi siromahu i došljaku; ja sam Gospod Bog vaš.

23 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

24 Kaži sinovima Izrailjevim, i reci im: Prvi dan sedmog meseca neka vam je odmor, spomen trubni, sabor sveti.

25 Nijedan posao ropski nemojte raditi, nego prinesite žrtvu ognjenu Gospodu.

26 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

27 A deseti je dan tog meseca sedmog dan očišćenja; sabor sveti neka vam je, i mučite duše svoje, i prinesite Gospodu žrtvu ognjenu.

28 U taj dan nemojte raditi nijedan posao, jer je dan očišćenja, da se očistite pred Gospodom Bogom svojim.

29 A svaka duša koja se ne bi mučila u taj dan, da se istrebi iz naroda svog.

30 I svaku dušu koja bi radila kakav posao u taj dan, ja ću zatrti dušu onu u narodu njenom.

31 Ni jedan posao nemojte raditi; to da je večna uredba od kolena do kolena u svim stanovima vašim.

32 Subota počivanja neka vam bude, i mučite duše svoje; devetog dana istog meseca kad bude veče, od večera do večera praznujte počinak svoj.

33 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

34 Kaži sinovima Izrailjevim, i reci: Petnaestog dana sedmog meseca praznik je senica za sedam dana Gospodu.

35 Prvi dan neka bude sabor sveti, nijedan posao ropski nemojte raditi.

36 Za sedam dana prinosite žrtve ognjene Gospodu; osmi dan neka vam bude sabor sveti, i prinesite žrtve ognjene Gospodu; praznik je, nijedan posao ropski nemojte raditi.

37 To su praznici Gospodnji, koje ćete praznovati na saborima svetim da prinesete žrtve ognjene Gospodu: žrtvu paljenicu i dar i žrtvu zahvalnu i naliv, sve kad je čemu dan,

38 Osim subota Gospodnjih i Osim darova vaših i Osim svih zaveta vaših i Osim svih dobrovoljnih prinosa vaših, koje ćete davati Gospodu.

39 Ali petnaesti dan tog meseca sedmog, kad saberete rod zemaljski, praznujte praznik Gospodu sedam dana; u prvi je dan odmor i u osmi je dan odmor.

40 U prvi dan uzmite voća s lepih drveta, i grana palmovih i grana s gustih drveta i vrbe s potoka, i veselite se pred Gospodom Bogom svojim sedam dana.

41 I praznujte taj praznik Gospodu sedam dana svake godine zakonom večnim od kolena do kolena, sedmog meseca praznujte ga.

42 I pod senicama budite sedam dana, ko je god rođen u Izrailju neka bude pod senicama,

43 Da bi znalo natražje vaše da sam ja učinio da žive pod senicama sinovi Izrailjevi kad sam ih izveo iz zemlje misirske. Ja sam Gospod Bog vaš.

44 I Mojsije kaza praznike Gospodnje sinovima Izrailjevim.

5828. 'And I said, He has surely been torn to pieces' means a perception that it was destroyed by evils and falsities. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' as perception, dealt with often; and from the meaning of 'being torn to pieces as being destroyed by evils and internal good represented by 'Joseph' was destroyed, 5805. 'Being torn to pieces' has this meaning because no other kind of tearing to pieces takes place in the spiritual world than that of good by evils and falsities. It is the same with death and anything having to do with death, by which is meant in the spiritual sense not natural death but spiritual death, which is damnation. No other kind of death occurs in the spiritual world. So too with 'a tearing to pieces'. This does not mean in the spiritual sense the kind of tearing to pieces that wild animals engage in, but the tearing to pieces of good by evils and falsities. Also, in the spiritual sense, 'wild animals that tear to pieces' means evil desires and derivative false ideas; and such ideas are also represented in the next life by wild animals.

[2] The good which constantly comes from the Lord to a person is destroyed by nothing other than evils and derivative falsities, and by falsities and consequent evils. For as soon as that constantly inflowing good, coming by way of the internal man, reaches the external or natural man it encounters evil and falsity, which - acting like wild animals - employ various methods to tear apart and annihilate that good. For that reason the inflow of good by way of the internal man is blocked and halted, and the interior mind through which the inflow comes is consequently closed. Only as much of what is spiritual is allowed through as will enable the natural man to reason and speak, though he does so in terms that are solely earthly, bodily, and worldly, either in opposition to what is good and true, or else in keeping with such but in a false or deceitful way.

[3] It is a universal law that an inflow adjusts itself to the outflow, and if the outflow is blocked, so is the inflow. Through the internal man there is an inflow of good and truth from the Lord, and through the external there should be an outflow, an outflow into life, that is, in the exercise of charity. As long as that outflow is taking place the inflow from heaven, that is, from the Lord by way of heaven, is continuous. If however no outflow takes place but something stands in the way in the external or natural man, namely evil and falsity which tear the inflowing good to pieces and annihilate it, it follows from the universal law mentioned above that the inflow adjusts itself to the outflow. All this being so, the inflow of good holds itself back and accordingly closes the internal through which the inflow comes; and that closing of it leads to stupidity in spiritual matters, which is so great that the person who is like this neither knows nor wishes to know anything at all about eternal life. At length he becomes so senseless that he raises falsity as an obstacle to truth, calling falsities truths and truths falsities, and raises evil as an obstacle to good, regarding evils as forms of good and forms of good as evils. In this way he tears good completely to pieces.

[4] The word 'torn' occurs in various places in the Word, the proper meaning of which is falsities that arise from evils, while that which is destroyed by evils is called 'a carcass'. When however the expression 'torn' is used by itself, both ideas are meant since the one includes the meaning carried by the other. It is different when the one is referred to together with the other, because in that case a distinction is being made. Since what had been torn meant in the spiritual sense what had been destroyed by falsities arising from evils, people were forbidden in the representative Church to eat anything torn. They would never have been forbidden to eat it if that spiritual evil had not been meant in heaven. Apart from this, what evil could have lain in eating flesh torn by a wild animal?

[5] Regarding their not eating anything torn the following is stated in Moses,

The fat of a carcass and the fat of that which has been torn may be put to any use, provided that you do not eat it at all. Leviticus 7:24.

In the same author,

He shall not eat a carcass or that which has been torn, to be defiled by it. I am Jehovah. Leviticus 12:8.

In the same author,

You shall be men who are sanctified to Me; therefore you shall not eat flesh torn in the field, you shall throw it to the dogs. Exodus 21:31.

In Ezekiel,

Ah Lord Jehovih! The prophet says, Behold, my soul has not been polluted, and from my youth even till now I have not eaten any carcass or that which has been torn, so that abominable flesh has not come into my mouth. Ezekiel 4:14.

From these quotations it is evident that it was an abomination to eat what had been torn, not because it had been torn but because a tearing to pieces of good by falsities arising from evils was meant, 'a carcass' on the other hand being the death of good caused by evils.

[6] A tearing to pieces of good by falsities and evils is also meant in the internal sense of the following places in David,

The wicked is like a lion, he desires to tear, and like a young lion who sits in hiding-places. Psalms 17:12.

Elsewhere,

They opened their mouth against me - a lion tearing and roaring. Psalms 22:13.

And in yet another place,

Lest like a lion they seize my soul, tearing it to pieces and there is none to deliver. Psalms 7:1.

'A lion' stands for those who lay waste the Church. Above, where Joseph was the subject - at the point where he was sold by his brothers, and his tunic, which had been dipped in blood, was sent to his father - his father too said at that time,

My son's tunic! An evil wild animal has devoured him; Joseph has been torn to pieces. Genesis 37:33.

'His having been torn to pieces' means being scattered by falsities arising from evils, see 4777.
