Exodo 29

Studie

   

1 At ito ang bagay na iyong gagawin sa kanila na ibukod sila, upang sila'y mangasiwa sa akin sa katungkulang saserdote: kumuha ka ng isang guyang toro at ng dalawang lalaking tupang walang kapintasan.

2 At tinapay na walang lebadura, at mga munting tinapay na walang lebadura na hinaluan ng langis, at mga manipis na tinapay na walang lebadura na pinahiran ng langis: na gagawin mo sa mainam na harina ng trigo.

3 At iyong isisilid sa isang bakol, at dadalhin mo na nasa bakol, sangpu ng toro at ng dalawang tupang lalake.

4 At si Aaron at ang kaniyang mga anak ay iyong dadalhin sa pintuan ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan, at iyong huhugasan sila ng tubig.

5 At iyong kukunin ang mga kasuutan, at iyong isusuot kay Aaron ang tunika niya, at ang balabal ng epod, at ang epod, at ang pektoral, at bibigkisan mo ng mainam na pagkayaring pamigkis ng epod:

6 At iyong ipuputong ang mitra sa kaniyang ulo, at ipapatong mo ang banal na korona sa mitra.

7 Saka mo kukunin ang langis na pangpahid, at ibubuhos mo sa ibabaw ng kaniyang ulo, at papahiran mo ng langis siya.

8 At iyong dadalhin ang kaniyang mga anak, at susuutan mo ng mga tunika sila.

9 At iyong bibigkisan sila ng mga pamigkis, si Aaron at ang kaniyang mga anak, at itatali mo ang mga tiara sa kanikaniyang ulo: at tatamuhin nila ang pagkasaserdote na pinakapalatuntunang palagi: at iyong papagbabanalin si Aaron at ang kaniyang mga anak.

10 At iyong dadalhin ang toro sa harap ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan: at ipapatong ni Aaron at ng kaniyang mga anak ang kanilang kamay sa ulo ng toro.

11 At iyong papatayin ang toro sa harap ng Panginoon, sa pintuan ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan.

12 At kukuha ka ng dugo ng toro, at ilalagay mo ng iyong daliri sa ibabaw ng mga anyong sungay ng dambana; at iyong ibubuhos ang lahat ng dugo sa paanan ng dambana.

13 At kukunin mo ang buong taba na nakababalot sa bituka, at ang mga lamak ng atay, at ang dalawang bato, at ang taba na nasa ibabaw ng mga yaon, at susunugin mo sa ibabaw ng dambana.

14 Datapuwa't ang laman ng toro, at ang balat, at ang dumi ay iyong susunugin sa apoy sa labas ng kampamento: handog nga dahil sa kasalanan.

15 Kukunin mo rin ang isang lalaking tupa; at ipapatong ni Aaron at ng kaniyang mga anak ang kanilang kamay sa ulo ng lalaking tupa.

16 At iyong papatayin ang lalaking tupa, at iyong kukunin ang dugo, at iyong iwiwisik sa palibot sa ibabaw ng dambana.

17 At iyong kakatayin ang tupa at huhugasan mo ang bituka, at ang mga hita, at ipapatong mo sa mga pinagputolputol at sa ulo.

18 At iyong susunugin ang buong tupa sa ibabaw ng dambana: handog na susunugin nga sa Panginoon; pinaka masarap na amoy na handog sa Panginoon, na pinaraan sa apoy.

19 At kukunin mo ang isang tupa; at ipapatong ni Aaron at ng kaniyang mga anak ang kanilang kamay sa ulo ng tupa.

20 Saka mo papatayin ang tupa, at kukunin mo ang dugo, at ilalagay mo sa pingol ng kanang tainga ni Aaron, at sa pingol ng kanang tainga ng kaniyang mga anak, at sa hinlalaki ng kanilang kanang kamay, at sa hinlalaki ng kanilang kanang paa, at iwiwisik mo ang dugong labis sa ibabaw ng dambana sa palibot.

21 At kukuha ka ng dugo na nasa ibabaw ng dambana, at ng langis na pangpahid, at iwiwisik mo kay Aaron, at sa kaniyang mga suot, at sa kaniyang mga anak na kasama niya: at ikapapaging banal niya at ng kaniyang mga suot, at ng kaniyang mga anak, at ng mga suot ng kaniyang mga anak na kasama niya.

22 Kukunin mo rin naman sa lalaking tupa ang taba, at ang matabang buntot, at ang tabang nakababalot sa mga bituka, at ang mga lamak ng atay, at ang dalawang bato, at ang taba na nasa ibabaw ng mga yaon, at ang kanang hita (sapagka't isang lalaking tupa na itinalaga),

23 At isang malaking tinapay, at isang munting tinapay na nilangisan, at isang manipis na tinapay sa bakol ng tinapay na walang lebadura na nasa harap ng Panginoon:

24 At iyong ilalagay ang kabuoan sa mga kamay ni Aaron, at sa mga kamay ng kaniyang mga anak; at iyong mga luluglugin na pinakahandog na niluglog sa harap ng Panginoon.

25 At iyong kukunin sa kanilang mga kamay, at iyong susunugin sa dambana sa ibabaw ng handog na susunugin, na pinaka masarap na amoy sa harap ng Panginoon: handog nga sa Panginoon na pinaraan sa apoy.

26 At kukunin mo ang dibdib ng tupa na itinalaga ni Aaron, at luglugin mo na pinakahandog na niluglog sa harap ng Panginoon: at magiging iyong bahagi.

27 At iyong ihihiwalay ang dibdib ng handog na niluglog, at ang hita ng handog na itinaas, ang niluglog at ang itinaas, ng lalaking tupa na itinalaga na kay Aaron at sa kaniyang mga anak;

28 At magiging kay Aaron at sa kaniyang mga anak, na pinaka bahagi magpakailan man, na mula sa mga anak ni Israel: sapagka't isang handog na itinaas: at magiging isang handog na itinaas sa ganang mga anak ni Israel, na kinuha sa kanilang mga hain tungkol sa kapayapaan: na dili iba't kanilang handog ngang itinaas sa Panginoon.

29 At ang mga banal na kasuutan ni Aaron ay magiging sa kaniyang mga anak, pagkamatay niya, upang pahiran ng langis sa mga yaon, at upang italaga sa mga yaon.

30 Pitong araw na isusuot ng anak na magiging saserdote nakahalili niya, pagka siya'y pumapasok sa tabernakulo ng kapisanan upang mangasiwa sa dakong banal.

31 At kukunin mo ang lalaking tupa na itinalaga at lulutuin mo ang kaniyang laman sa dakong banal.

32 At kakanin ni Aaron at ng kaniyang mga anak ang laman ng tupa, at ang tinapay na nasa bakol sa pintuan ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan.

33 At kanilang kakanin ang mga bagay na yaon, na ipinangtubos ng sala, upang italaga at pakabanalin sila: datapuwa't hindi kakain niyaon ang sinomang taga ibang lupa, sapagka't mga bagay na banal.

34 At kung may lumabis sa laman na itinalaga, o sa tinapay, hanggang sa kinaumagahan, ay iyo ngang susunugin sa apoy ang labis: hindi kakanin, sapagka't yao'y banal.

35 At ganito mo gagawin kay Aaron, at sa kaniyang mga anak, ayon sa lahat na aking iniutos sa iyo: pitong araw na iyong itatalaga sila.

36 At araw-araw ay maghahandog ka ng toro na pinakahandog, dahil sa kasalanan na pinakapangtubos: at iyong lilinisin ang dambana pagka iyong ipinanggagawa ng katubusan yaon; at iyong papahiran ng langis upang pakabanalin.

37 Pitong araw na iyong tutubusin sa sala ang dambana, at iyong pakakabanalin; at ang dambana ay magiging kabanalbanalan; anomang masagi sa dambana ay magiging banal.

38 Ito nga ang iyong ihahandog sa ibabaw ng dambana: dalawang kordero ng unang taon araw-araw na palagi.

39 Ang isang kordero ay iyong ihahandog sa umaga; at ang isang kordero ay iyong ihahandog sa hapon:

40 At kasama ng isang kordero na iyong ihahandog ang ikasangpung bahagi ng isang efa ng mainam na harina na may halong ikaapat na bahagi ng isang hin ng langis na hinalo; at ang ikaapat na bahagi ng isang hin na alak, ay pinakahandog na inumin.

41 At ang isang kordero ay iyong ihahandog sa hapon, at iyong gagawin ayon sa handog na harina sa umaga, at ayon sa inuming handog niyaon, na pinaka masarap na amoy, na handog nga sa Panginoon na pinaraan sa apoy.

42 Magiging isang palaging handog na susunugin sa buong panahon ng inyong lahi sa pintuan ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan, sa harap ng Panginoon; na aking pakikipagkitaan sa inyo, upang makipagusap ako roon sa iyo.

43 At doo'y makikipagtagpo ako sa mga anak ni Israel: at ang Tolda ay pakakabanalin sa pamamagitan ng aking kaluwalhatian.

44 At aking pakakabanalin ang tabernakulo ng kapisanan, at ang dambana; si Aaron man at ang kaniyang mga anak ay aking papagbabanalin upang mangasiwa sa akin sa katungkulang saserdote.

45 At ako'y tatahan sa gitna ng mga anak ni Israel, at ako'y magiging kanilang Dios.

46 At kanilang makikilala, na ako ang Panginoon nilang Dios, na kumuha sa kanila sa lupain ng Egipto, upang ako'y tumahan sa gitna nila: ako ang Panginoon nilang Dios.

Apocalypse Explained # 167

/ 1232  
  

167. And all [the churches] shall know that I am he who searcheth the reins and hearts. That this signifies the acknowledgment, on the part of all those who belong to the church, that the Lord alone knows and explores the exteriors and interiors and the things pertaining to faith and love is evident from the signification of searching, when said of the Lord, as being that He alone knows and explores; and from the signification of the reins, as being the truths of faith, and their purification from falsities, concerning which we shall speak in what follows; and from the signification of hearts, as being the goods of love. The reason why the heart signifies the good of love is, that there are two things that reign in man, from which all the life of his body is derived - the heart and the lungs. And because all things in a man's body correspond to all the things in his mind, and there are also two things that reign there, the will and the understanding, therefore these two kingdoms of the mind correspond to the two kingdoms of the body - the will to the heart and its pulse, and the understanding to the lungs and their respiration; without this correspondence the body could not live, nor even a particle of it. Because the heart corresponds to the will, it also corresponds to the good of love; and as the lungs correspond to the understanding, they also correspond to the truths of faith. It is from this correspondence that the heart signifies love, and the soul (anima) signifies faith; hence the expression "from the heart and soul" is so often used in the Word, by which is meant from the love and faith. (This correspondence is much treated of in Arcana Coelestia, where the following particulars may be seen more fully explained, namely, that the heart in the Word signifies love, and because it signifies love, that it also signifies the will, n. 2930, 3313, 7542, 8910, 9050, 9113, 10336. That the heart corresponds to the things that pertain to man's love, and the lungs to the things that pertain to his faith, n. 3883-3896. That in heaven there is a pulse like that of the heart, and a respiration like that of the lungs, n. 3884, 3885, 3887. That the pulse of the heart there is according to the state of love, and the respiration of the lungs according to the state of faith, n. 3886-3889; that the influx of the heart into the lungs is circumstanced like the influx of good into truth, or of the will into the understanding and of love into faith, and that the communications and conjunctions are similar, n. 3884, 3887-3889, 9300, 9495. Concerning the influx of heaven into the heart and into the lungs, from experience, n. 3884. That from this correspondence in the Word, when it is said from the heart and from the soul, it signifies from the love and faith, n. 2930, 9050; that the conjunction of man's spirit with his body is by means of the respiration of the lungs and of the pulse of the heart, and that therefore when these cease, man's body dies, but his spirit lives, see the work, Heaven and Hell; and that when the pulse of the heart ceases, the spirit is separated, because the heart corresponds to love which is the vital heat, n.447, in that work. Many other things concerning that correspondence may be seen there, n. 95.) That the kidneys signify the truths of faith and the purification of them from falsities, is because the purification of the blood is performed in the kidneys; and by blood in the Word is signified truth, as may be seen, Arcana Coelestia. n. 4735, 9127. The same also is signified by the organ which purifies: also all purification from falsities is effected by means of truths.

It is therefore evident that by Jehovah, or the Lord, in the Word, searching the heart and reins is signified that He explores the goods of love and the truths of faith, and separates them from evils and falsities.

[2] This is signified by reins in the following places: in Jeremiah,

"Jehovah Zebaoth, judge of justice, proving the reins and the heart" (11:20).

Again:

"Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit; thou art near in their mouth and far from their reins. Jehovah, thou shalt see me, and shalt prove my heart" (12:2, 3).

By being near in the mouth, and far from the reins is meant truth only in the memory, and thence in some of his thoughts when a man speaks, but not in the will and thence in act. Truth in the will and thence in act is that which separates and dissipates falsities; truth in the will and thence in act is to will and do what a man knows and thinks to be truth; this truth is what is specifically meant by reins.

[3] Again in the same prophet:

"I Jehovah search the heart, and prove the reins, even to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his works" (17:10).

To search the heart is to purify good by separating evil from it; to prove the reins, is to purify truth by separating falsity from it. It is therefore said, "To give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his works"; ways denote the truths of faith, and the fruit of works denotes the goods of love. (That ways denote truths of faith, may be seen above, n. 97, and that the fruit of works denotes the goods of love, n. 98, 109, 116.)

[4] In the same:

"Jehovah Zebaoth, proving the just, seeing the reins and the heart" (20:12).

And in David:

"Establish the just for thou who triest the hearts and reins art a just God" (Psalms 7:9).

The just denote those who love to do what is good and true, whose truths and goods are purified by the Lord, which is signified by His seeing and trying the reins and the hearts.

In the same:

"Prove me, O Jehovah, and try me, explore my reins and my heart" (Psalms 26:2).

Because truths are separated from falsities and goods from evils by temptations, it is therefore said, try me. In the same:

"For my heart was embittered and I am pricked in my reins. But I am foolish, and I do not know" (Psalms 73:21, 22).

The infestation of good by evil and of truth by falsity, is described by these words.

In the same:

"Behold, thou desirest truth in the reins, and in the hidden part thou makest wisdom known to me" (Psalms 51:6).

Here reins are expressed by another word in the original tongue, which involves the separation both of falsities from truths and of evils from goods. It is therefore evident that the reins signify purification and separation.

[5] In the same:

"I will bless Jehovah, who hath given me counsel; nightly, also, do my reins chastise me" (Psalms 16:7).

Nights signify the state of man when falsities rise up; the combat in such cases of truths with them is signified by "my reins chastise me." In the same:

"Even the darkness doth not make darkness before thee, but the night is light as the day; as the darkness so is the light; for thou possessest my reins, my bone was not hid from thee when I was made in secret" (Psalms 139:12, 13, 15).

Falsities are signified by darkness and truths by light; to possess the reins, is to know the falsities and truths pertaining to man; hence it is said, "my bone was not hid from thee when I was made in secret," which signifies that no falsity that was made could be bid. (That darkness denotes falsities and light truths may be seen in the work, Heaven and Hell 126-140 and that bone signifies truth in the ultimate of order, and, in the opposite sense, falsity, in Arcana Coelestia 3812, 5560, 5565, 6592, 8005.)

[6] Because the reins signified truths purified from falsities, therefore in the sacrifices the fats and reins were alone offered up, as may be seen in Exodus 29:13; Leviticus 3:4, 10, 15; 4:9; and other places.

The reason why the fats and reins alone were offered upon the altar was, because the fats signified the goods of love, and the reins the truths of faith. (That fats or fatnesses signify the goods of love, may be seen, Arcana Coelestia 353, 5943, 6409, 10033. That the reins signify the truths of faith examining, purifying, and rejecting from themselves falsities is from correspondence; for all parts of the body, even the most minute, have a correspondence, as may be seen in the work, Heaven and Hell, where it is shown, under its proper article, that "there is a correspondence of all things of heaven with all things of man," n. 87-102; and concerning the kidneys, n.96, 97.) Unless it be known that there is such a correspondence, who could know why it is so often stated of Jehovah, or the Lord, in the Word, that He searches and tries the reins and the heart? (Concerning the correspondence of the kidneys, the ureters, and vesicles, see Arcana Coelestia 5380-5386.) The reason why to search the reins and the heart also signifies to explore the exteriors and interiors of man is, that truth is without, and good is within; and spiritual good, which in its essence is truth, and which is specifically signified by the reins, is exterior good: but celestial good, which is specifically signified by the heart, is interior good. (This is more evident from what is said and shown concerning, the spiritual kingdom and the celestial kingdom in the work, Heaven and Hell 20-26.)
