1 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

2 Kaži sinovima Izrailjevim, i reci: Ako ko zgreši nehotice i učini štagod što je Gospod zabranio da se ne čini,

3 Ako sveštenik pomazani zgreši, te bude na greh narodu, neka za greh svoj koji je učinio prinese tele zdravo Gospodu na žrtvu za greh.

4 I dovedavši tele na vrata šatoru od svedočanstva pred Gospoda, neka metne ruku svoju teletu na glavu, i zakolje tele pred Gospodom.

5 I neka uzme sveštenik pomazani krvi od teleta, i unese je u šator od sastanka.

6 I neka zamoči sveštenik prst svoj u krv, i krvlju sedam puta pokropi pred Gospodom pred zavesom od svetinje.

7 I neka pomaže sveštenik tom krvlju rogove oltaru, na kome se kadi mirisima pred Gospodom u šatoru od sastanka, a ostalu krv od teleta svu neka izlije na podnožje oltaru, na kome se pale žrtve na vratima šatora od sastanka.

8 I neka izvadi sve salo iz teleta za greh, salo što pokriva creva i sve salo što je na crevima;

9 I oba bubrega, i salo što je na njima i na slabinama, i mrežicu na jetri s bubrezima neka izvadi,

10 Onako kako se vadi iz govečeta za žrtvu zahvalnu; i neka zapali sveštenik na oltaru, na kome se žrtva pali.

11 A kožu od teleta i sve meso s glavom i s nogama i creva i balegu,

12 I celo tele neka iznese napolje iz logora na čisto mesto, gde se prosipa pepeo, i neka ga spali ognjem na drvima; na mestu gde se prosipa pepeo neka se spali.

13 Ako li bi sav zbor sinova Izrailjevih zgrešio nehotice i ne bi zbor znao za to, i učinili bi štagod što je Gospod zabranio da se ne čini, te bi skrivili,

14 Kad se dozna za greh koji su učinili, onda neka zbor prinese tele, žrtvu za greh, i neka ga dovedu pred šator od sastanka.

15 I starešine od zbora neka metnu teletu na glavu ruke svoje pred Gospodom, i sveštenik neka zakolje tele pred Gospodom.

16 I sveštenik pomazani neka unese krvi od teleta u šator od sastanka,

17 I neka sveštenik zamoči prst svoj u krv, i sedam puta pokropi pred Gospodom pred zavesom.

18 I tom krvlju neka pomaže rogove oltaru koji je pred Gospodom u šatoru od sastanka, a ostalu krv svu neka izlije na podnožje oltaru na kome se pali žrtva, na vratima šatora od sastanka.

19 A sve salo izvadivši iz njega neka zapali na oltaru.

20 I s tim teletom neka čini onako kako čini s teletom za svoj greh, tako neka učini s njim; tako će ih sveštenik očistiti od greha, i oprostiće im se.

21 A tele neka iznese napolje iz logora, i spali ga kao i prvo tele; to je žrtva za greh svega zbora.

22 Ako li poglavar zgreši, i učini nehotice štagod što je Gospod Bog njegov zabranio da se ne čini, te skrivi,

23 Kad dozna za greh svoj, koji je učinio, tada neka dovede na žrtvu jare muško, zdravo.

24 I neka metne ruku svoju jaretu na glavu, i sveštenik neka ga zakolje gde se kolje žrtva paljenica pred Gospodom; to je žrtva za greh.

25 I neka uzme sveštenik krvi od žrtve za greh na prst svoj, i pomaže rogove oltaru na kome se žrtva pali; a ostalu krv neka izlije na podnožje oltaru na kome se žrtva pali.

26 A sve salo neka zapali na oltaru kao salo od žrtve zahvalne; i tako će ga očistiti sveštenik od greha njegovog, i oprostiće mu se.

27 Ako li ko iz prostog naroda zgreši nehotice, i učini štagod što je Gospod zabranio da se ne čini, te skrivi,

28 Kad dozna za greh svoj, koji je učinio, tada neka dovede na žrtvu jare žensko zdravo za greh, koji je učinio.

29 I neka metne ruku svoju na glavu žrtvi za greh, i neka je sveštenik zakolje na mestu gde se kolje žrtva paljenica.

30 I neka uzme sveštenik krvi od nje na prst svoj, I pomaže rogove oltaru na kome se pali žrtva; a ostalu krv svu neka izlije na podnožje oltaru.

31 I sve salo iz nje neka izvadi kao što se vadi salo iz žrtve zahvalne, i neka ga zapali sveštenik na oltaru za ugodni miris Gospodu; a tako će ga očistiti od greha sveštenik, I oprostiće mu se.

32 Ako li bi doveo između ovaca na žrtvu za greh, neka dovede žensko zdravo.

33 I neka metne ruku svoju na glavu žrtvi za greh, i neka je sveštenik zakolje na mestu gde se kolje žrtva paljenica.

34 I neka uzme sveštenik krvi od žrtve za greh na prst svoj, i neka pomaže rogove oltaru na kome se pali žrtva; a ostalu krv svu neka izlije na podnožje oltaru.

35 I sve salo neka izvadi kao što se vadi salo iz jagnjeta za žrtvu zahvalnu; i neka ga sveštenik zapali na oltaru za žrtvu ognjenu Gospodu; i tako će ga očistiti sveštenik od greha njegovog, koji je učinio, i oprostiće mu se.

782. 18:14 "The fruits that your soul longed for have gone from you, and all things rich and splendid have gone from you, and you shall find them no more at all." This symbolically means that all the blessings and felicities of heaven, including the external ones they wish for, will altogether fly away and be seen no longer, because these Roman Catholics do not have in them any celestial or spiritual affections for goodness and truth.

Fruits that the soul longs for symbolize nothing else than the blessings and felicities of heaven, because those are the fruits of everything having to do with the doctrine and worship that are the subject here, and because they are what people desire when they are dying, and also what they continue to desire when they first come into the spiritual world.

Things rich and splendid symbolize celestial and spiritual affections for goodness and truth - rich things affections for goodness, as we will show below, and splendid things affections for truth, which are called splendid because they develop in response to the light of heaven and its splendor in human minds, giving rise to an understanding of goodness and truth and so to wisdom.

To go and not be found anymore means symbolically that the blessings and felicities of heaven will fly away and be seen no longer, because the people here do not have any celestial or spiritual goodness and truth. Moreover, the blessings and felicities that they long for are called external, because the only blessings and felicities and affections that they long for are carnal and worldly ones, and consequently they are incapable of knowing the nature and character of the blessings and felicities that are called celestial and spiritual.

[2] But we will illustrate this by disclosing the lot of those people after death. When people impelled by a love of dominion from a love of self and so by a love of the world come from that religion into the spiritual world, as they do immediately after death, they all yearn for nothing else than dominion and the pleasures of the heart resulting from that dominion, and the pleasures of the body resulting from wealth. For a person's reigning love with its affections or lusts and desires awaits everyone after death. However, because a love of exercising dominion, springing from a love of self, over the sanctities of the church and heaven, all of which are Divine and the Lord's, is diabolical, therefore after a period of time these people are separated from their companions and cast down into various hells.

But even so, because in consequence of their religion they have participated in an external worship of God, they are first taught the nature and character of heaven, and the nature and character of the happiness of eternal life, that its blessings are pure blessings flowing in from the Lord into everyone in heaven in accordance with the character of the heavenly affection for goodness and truth in them. Yet because they have not turned to the Lord and so have not been conjoined with Him, and also lack any such affection for goodness and truth, they reject that instruction and turn away, and long for the pleasures of the love of self and the world then, which are merely natural and carnal. But because it is inherent in those pleasures to do evil, especially to people who worship the Lord, thus to angels in heaven, therefore they are deprived of those pleasures also and are thrust among their comrades in infernal workhouses in a contemptible and wretched state.

Still, these events befall them to the degree of their love of dominion over things that are Divine and the Lord's, which is the degree to which they rejected the Lord.

[3] It can now be seen from this that "the fruits that your soul longed for have gone from you, and all things rich and splendid have gone from you, and you shall find them no more at all," symbolically means that all the blessings and felicities of heaven, including the external ones they wish for, will altogether fly away and be seen no longer, because these Roman Catholics do not have in them any affections for goodness and truth.

That rich things 1 symbolize heavenly goods, and also affections for those goods and the delights of those affections, can be seen from the following passages:

Listen... to Me, eat what is good, that your soul may delight itself in richness. (Isaiah 55:2)

I will fill the soul of the priests with richness, and My people shall be satisfied with... goodness... (Jeremiah 31:14)

My soul shall be satisfied... with fatness and richness, and my mouth shall praise with singing lips. (Psalms 63:5)

They are filled with the richness of Your house, and You give them drink from the river of Your delights. (Psalms 36:8)

On this mountain Jehovah... will make for all people a feast of rich food..., of rich food full of marrow... (Isaiah 25:6)

They shall still have produce in old age; they shall be rich and green, to declare that Jehovah is upright. (Psalms 92:14-15)

(In the feast that Jehovah will make) you shall eat rich food till you are full, and drink blood till you are drunk... (Ezekiel 39:19)

(Jehovah) will regard your burnt offering as rich. (Psalms 20:3)

Because richness of fat symbolizes heavenly goodness, it was therefore a statute in Israel that all the fat of sacrificial animals should be burnt on the altar (Exodus 29:13, 22; Leviticus 1:8; 3:3-16; 4:8-35; 7:3-4, 30-31; 17:6).

In an opposite sense, the richness of fat symbolizes people who are nauseated at goodness, and who, because it is just too much, scorn it and reject it (Deuteronomy 32:15; Jeremiah 5:28; 50:11; Psalms 17:10; 20:3; 78:31; 119:70; and elsewhere).

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. Literally, "fat things." The original words in Hebrew and Greek, translated here as "rich" or "richness," mean literally "fat" or "fatness," but metaphorically "rich" or "richness."
