Brojevi 3

1 A ovo je pleme Aronovo i Mojsijevo, kad Gospod govori s Mojsijem na gori Sinajskoj.

2 I ovo su imena sinova Aronovih: prvenac Nadav, pa Avijud i Eleazar i Itamar.

3 To su imena sinova Aronovih, sveštenika, koji biše pomazani i posvećeni da vrše službu svešteničku.

4 Ali pogibe Nadav i Avijud pred Gospodom, kad prinesoše oganj tuđ pred Gospodom u pustinji Sinajskoj; i ne imaše dece; zato Eleazar i Itamar otpravljahu službu svešteničku za života Arona, oca svog.

5 A Gospod reče Mojsiju govoreći:

6 Kaži neka pristupi pleme Levijevo, i postavi ga pred Aronom sveštenikom da mu služe,

7 I da rade za nj i za sav zbor pred šatorom od sastanka služeći šatoru,

8 I da čuvaju sve posuđe u šatoru od sastanka, i da straže za sinove Izrailjeve služeći šatoru.

9 Pa ćeš dati Levite Aronu i sinovima njegovim; oni su darovani njemu između sinova Izrailjevih.

10 A Arona i sinove njegove postavi da vrše svešteničku službu svoju; ako li bi ko drugi pristupio, da se pogubi.

11 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

12 Evo uzeh Levite između sinova Izrailjevih za sve prvence što otvaraju matericu među sinovima Izrailjevim; zato će moji biti Leviti.

13 Jer je moj svaki prvenac; od onog dana kada pobih sve prvence u zemlji misirskoj, posvetih sebi svakog prvenca u Izrailju od čoveka do živinčeta; moji će biti; ja sam Gospod.

14 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju u pustinji Sinajskoj govoreći:

15 Izbroj sinove Levijeve po domovima otaca njihovih, po porodicama njihovim, sve muškinje od meseca dana i više izbroj.

16 I Mojsije ih izbroja po zapovesti Gospodnjoj, kako mu bi zapoveđeno.

17 I behu sinovi Levijevi po imenu ovi: Girson i Kat i Merarije.

18 A ovo su imena sinova Girsonovih po porodicama njihovim: Lovenije i Semej.

19 A sinovi Katovi po porodicama svojim: Amram i Isar, Hevron i Ozilo.

20 A sinovi Merarijevi po porodicama svojim: Malije i Musije. To su porodice levitske po domovima otaca svojih.

21 Od Girsona porodica Lovenijeva i porodica Semejeva. To su porodice Girsonove.

22 A izbrojanih među njima, kad se izbroja sve muškinje od meseca dana i više, beše ih izbrojanih svega sedam hiljada i pet stotina.

23 Porodice Girsonove stajahu u logor iza šatora sa zapada.

24 A starešina od doma otačkog u porodicama Girsonovim beše Elisaf, sin Dailov.

25 A sinovi Girsonovi čuvahu u šatoru od sastanka šator i naslon, pokrivač njegov i zaves na vratima šatora od sastanka,

26 I zavese od trema i zaves na vratima od trema što je oko šatora i oko oltara, i uža njegova za svaku potrebu njegovu.

27 A od Kata beše porodica Amramova i porodica Isarova i porodica Hevronova i porodica Ozilova. To su porodice Katove.

28 Svega muškinja od meseca dana i više beše na broj osam hiljada i šest stotina, koji služahu oko svetinje.

29 Porodice sinova Katovih stajahu u logor pored šatora s juga.

30 A starešina od doma otačkog u porodicama Katovim beše Elisafan, sin Ozilov.

31 A oni čuvahu kovčeg i sto i svećnjak i oltar i posuđe u svetinji kojim služe, i zaves, i sve što pripada k njemu.

32 A starešina nad starešinama levitskim beše Eleazar, sin Arona sveštenika, postavljen nad onima koji čuvaju svetinju.

33 A od Merarija beše porodica Malijeva i porodica Musijeva. To su porodice Merarijeve.

34 I beše ih izbrojanih, kad se izbroja sve muškinje od meseca dana i više, šest hiljada i dvesta.

35 A starešina od doma otačkog u porodicama Merarijevim beše Surilo sin Avihejev; oni stajahu u logor pored šatora sa severa.

36 I sinovi Merarijevi čuvahu daske od šatora i prevornice njegove i stupce njegove i stopice njegove i sve sprave njegove i sve što k njemu pripada,

37 I stupce od trema unaokolo i stopice njihove i kolje i uža njihova.

38 A pred šatorom od sastanka s istoka stajahu u logor Mojsije i Aron i sinovi njegovi čuvajući svetinju za sinove Izrailjeve; a da ko drugi pristupi, poginuo bi.

39 A svega Levita kad ih izbroja Mojsije i Aron po zapovesti Gospodnjoj po porodicama njihovim, svega muškinja od mesec dana i više, beše dvadeset i dve hiljade.

40 I Gospod reče Mojsiju: Izbroj sve prvence muške među sinovima Izrailjevim od meseca dana i više, i saberi broj imena njihovih.

41 I uzmi Levite za mene (ja sam Gospod) mesto svih prvenaca među sinovima Izrailjevim, i stoku levitsku mesto svih prvenaca od stoke sinova Izrailjevih.

42 I izbroja Mojsije kako mu zapovedi Gospod, sve prvence među sinovima Izrailjevim;

43 I svega prvenaca muških, kad se izbrojaše po imenima od jednog meseca i više, beše izbrojanih dvadeset i dve hiljade i dvesta i sedamdeset i tri.

44 I Gospod reče Mojsiju govoreći:

45 Uzmi Levite mesto svih prvenaca među sinovima Izrailjevim i stoku levitsku mesto stoke njihove, da budu moji Leviti; ja sam Gospod.

46 A da se otkupe oni dvesta i sedamdeset i tri, što ima prvenaca među sinovima Izrailjevim više nego Levita,

47 Uzmi po pet sikala od glave; uzmi po svetom siklu (a u taj sikal ide dvadeset gera).

48 I podaj te novce Aronu i sinovima njegovim, otkup za one koji prelaze broj njihov.

49 I uze Mojsije otkup od onih koji ostaše preko onih koji biše promenjeni za Levite.

50 I uze novce od prvenaca sinova Izrailjevih, hiljadu i trista i šezdeset i pet sikala, po svetom siklu.

51 I dade Mojsije taj otkup Aronu i sinovima njegovim po zapovesti Gospodnjoj, kao što zapovedi Gospod Mojsiju.

10038. Shalt thou burn with fire without the camp. That this signifies that those things were to be committed to hell, and to be defiled with the evils of the love of self, is evident from the signification of “burning with fire,” as being to consume with the evils of the love of self; for by “burning” is signified consuming, and by “fire” the evil of the love of self (see n. 1297, 5071, 5215, 6314, 6832, 7324, 7575, 9141, 9434); and from the signification of “the camp,” as being heaven and the church, and in the opposite sense where heaven and the church are not, thus hell (of which in what follows). That “to be burned with fire” denotes to be consumed by the evils of the love of self, is because this love consumes all the goods and truths of faith. That the love of self does this is known to scarcely anyone at this day, and consequently neither is it known that this love is hell with man, and that it is meant by “hell fire.”

[2] For there are two fires of life with man; one is the love of self, the other is love to God. They who are in the love of self cannot be in love to God, because these loves are opposite. They are opposite because the love of self produces all evils, which are contempt for others in comparison with self, enmity against those who do not favor, and finally hatreds, revenges, ferocities, cruelties; which evils wholly resist the Divine influx, and consequently extinguish the truths and goods of faith and of charity, for these are what flow in from the Lord. Anyone who reflects is able to know that everyone’s love is the fire of his life; for without love there is no life, and such as the love is such is the life; and from this it can be known that the love of self produces evils of every kind, and that it so far produces them as it is regarded as the end, that is, so far as it reigns. The worst kind of the love of self is the love of ruling for the sake of self, that is, solely for the sake of honor and self-advantage. They who are in this love are indeed able to make a profession of faith and charity; but they do this with the mouth, and not with the heart; nay, the worst of them regard the things of faith and charity, thus the holy things of the church, as means to attain their ends. But of the Lord’s Divine mercy I will speak specifically of the love of self, and its various kinds, and the evils that spring from it, and of the state of such in the other life. These things have been said that it may be known what is denoted by being “burnt with fire without the camp.”

[3] That the camp where the sons of Israel encamped represented heaven and the church, and hence that “without the camp” denotes where heaven and the church are not, thus hell, can be seen from what is related in the Word about the camp and the encamping of the sons of Israel in the wilderness, as from these words in Moses:

The sons of Israel shall encamp, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, according to their armies; and the Levites shall encamp around the Habitation of the testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the sons of Israel (Numbers 1:52-53; 2:2).

The tribes of Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun encamped to the east; the tribes of Reuben, Simeon, and Gad to the south; the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin to the west; and the tribes of Dan, Asher, and Naphtali to the north; but the Levites in the midst of the camp (Numbers 2:10). The like applied when they set out on their journeys, Numbers 2:17, 10:1 to the end. 1

Their encampments were so ordered that they might represent heaven and the church (n. 9320); by the tribes also, according to which they encamped, were represented all the goods and truths of heaven and the church in the complex (n. 3858, 3926, 3939, 4060, 6335, 6337, 6397, 6640, 7836, 7891, 7996-7997); hence it is said that “Jehovah dwelt in the midst of the camp” (Numbers 5:3), and that “He walketh in the midst of them, and therefore they shall be holy” (Deuteronomy 23:14); and in the prophetic utterance of Balaam it is said, “when he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes, he said, How good are thy tabernacles, O Jacob, and thy habitations, O Israel” (Numbers 24:2-3, 5).

1. [Editor’s note, 2014: The sentence marked was accidentally skipped in the Potts translation. The missing text has been supplied from the Elliott translation.]

[4] As by the camp was represented heaven and the church, it follows that by “without the camp” was signified where heaven and the church are not, thus hell; and therefore everyone that was unclean and also that was guilty was sent forth thither, as can be seen from the following passages:

Ye shall send forth out of the camp every leper, and everyone that suffereth with an issue, everyone unclean on account of a soul, from a male even to a female, ye shall send them abroad out of the camp, that they pollute not the camp, in the midst of which Jehovah dwelleth (Numbers 5:2-3; Leviticus 13:45-46).

A man that is not clean by chance of the night shall go abroad out of the camp, and shall not come into the midst of the camp; when he shall wash himself in waters, and the sun hath set, he shall enter into the camp. Thou shalt have a space without the camp, whither thou mayest go forth abroad, and thou shall cover thine excrement with a paddle, because Jehovah walketh in the midst of the camp; therefore the camp shall be holy (Deuteronomy 23:10-15).

It was also commanded that persons should be stoned “without the camp” (Leviticus 24:14; Numbers 15:35-36). From all this it is now evident that by “burning with fire the flesh, skin, and dung of the bullock without the camp,” is signified that the evils which are signified by these things were to be committed to hell.

6337. And I will tell you what shall befall you in the end of the days. That this signifies the quality of the state of the church in the order in which they then were, is evident from the signification of “telling what shall befall,” as being to communicate and to foretell; and from the signification of the “end of the days,” as being the last of the state in which they are together. For “days” are states (see n. 23, 487, 488, 493, 893, 2788, 3462, 3785, 4850); and the “end” is the last; thus the “end of the days” is the last of the state, namely, that in which truths and goods in general, when in their order, are together. The reason why it is the state of the church which is signified, is that the truths and goods which are represented by Jacob and his sons are what constitute the church; therefore by Jacob is represented the church (n. 4286, 4439, 4514, 4520, 4680, 4772, 5536, 5540); and so also by his sons (n. 5403, 5419, 5427, 5458, 5512). That the quality of the state is meant, is because the representation of the truths and goods of the church is according to the order in which the sons of Jacob or the tribes are mentioned in the Word (n. 3862, 3926, 3939). One quality is signified when Reuben is mentioned first, for when Reuben is mentioned first the quality begins from faith; but when Judah is mentioned first, then the quality begins from love; and it is different still when some other one is mentioned first. The quality is also varied according to the order in which the rest of the tribes are mentioned after these. Hence come forth innumerable, nay, infinite, variations, and more so when the truths and goods in general which are signified by the twelve tribes also take on specific variations, each truth and good innumerable ones, which causes each of them to receive in general another face; and still more so when these specific truths and goods take on innumerable singular variations; and so on. That infinite variations thus arise may be illustrated by many things in nature. Hence then it is that the twelve tribes have a different signification when mentioned in one order in the Word, from what they have when mentioned in another; thus they have a different signification in this chapter from what they have elsewhere.
