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

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.)

Arcana Coelestia # 5943

/ 10837  
  

5943. 'And you will eat the fat of the land' means making the good there their own. This is clear from the meaning of 'eating' as being communicated, joined together, and made one's own, dealt with in 2187, 2343, 3168, 3517 (end), 3832, 4745; and from the meaning of 'the fat of the land' - of Egypt - as the good within the natural. The meaning of 'fat' as that which is celestial or good is clear from many places in the Word, not only the fat found in an animal's body but also fat obtained from other sources, such as butter and oil; and other products with any fat in them - such as milk, honeys, or resins - also mean good in the measure that they have it in them.

[2] 'Fat' was representative of celestial good, thus of love received from the Lord, as is clear from the burnt offerings and sacrifices in these all the fat had to be burned on the altar, thereby providing 'an odour of rest to Jehovah'; and the children of Israel were forbidden because of this to eat fat. From these regulations, as from all the rest, it may be plain to see that the observances established among the Israelites were representative of celestial and spiritual realities and thus held what was holy within them. If this had not been so there would have been no Divine purpose at all behind the requirements to sacrifice all the fat of an animal, making this 'an odour of rest to Jehovah', or behind the Prohibition that forbade the eating of fat, and also of blood. It would surely be a stupid way of thinking about the Divine if one were to believe that He could take pleasure in fat or that Jehovah should make a requirement that did not conceal something deeper. Furthermore a person would be far too earthly - and bodily-minded if he had no interest at all in knowing the real meaning of such requirements; it would be a sign that he had no desire to know anything about the Word and eternal life.

[3] Regarding 'the fat' the following is stated in Moses,

You shall take all the fat covering the entrails, and the omentum over the liver, and the fat on the kidneys; and you shall burn them on the altar. Exodus 29:13, 22.

See also Leviticus 3:4-5, 9-10, 14-15; 4:8-9, 19, 26, 31, 35; 7:3-4. They were also required to sacrifice the fat on the breast, Leviticus 7:30-31. The phrase 'an odour of rest to Jehovah' occurs in the following places,

This is the bread of Jehovah's fire-offering for an odour of rest. Leviticus 3:16. The priest shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of Jehovah, and shall offer the fat for an odour of rest to Jehovah. Leviticus 17:6.

And elsewhere,

The fat of the firstborn of an ox and of a sheep must be burned on the altar as an odour of rest to Jehovah. Numbers 18:17.

'An odour of rest' means the pleasure gained from the good of love.

[4] As regards the non-eating of fat by the children of Israel, Let all the fat be for Jehovah. Therefore this is a perpetual statute throughout your generations, in all your dwelling-places: You shall not eat any fat or any blood. Leviticus 3:16-17.

And elsewhere,

Speak to the children of Israel, saying, You shall not eat any fat, neither of ox, nor sheep, nor she-goat. Everyone who eats the fat from a beast, from one offered as a fire-offering to Jehovah, that soul eating it will be cut off from his peoples. Nor shall you eat any blood Leviticus 7:23-26.

[5] Burnt offerings and sacrifices were the main form taken by Divine worship among those people, 923, 2180. For this reason worship is meant by 'burnt offerings and sacrifices' in general, while the essential nature of worship is meant by what was offered in sacrifice and by the whole procedure followed then. 'The fat and the burning of it' meant the very Divine celestial itself, namely the good of love received from the Lord, as may also be seen in the following places:

In Isaiah,

Jacob, you have not bought Me [sweet] cane with silver, and you have not satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices; you have wearied Me so much with your sins. 1 Isaiah 43:24.

'You have not bought [sweet] cane with silver' stands for, You have not acquired the truths of faith for yourself; and 'you have not satisfied Me with the fat of sacrifices' stands for, Nor [have you offered] the good of love.

[6] In David,

I will offer You burnt offerings of fat ones, with the incense of rams. Psalms 66:15.

'Burnt offerings of fat ones' stands for worship fired by love. In Moses,

When it will be said, Where are their gods, the rock in which they trusted, who ate the fat of their sacrifices, [who] drank the wine of their drink-offering? Deuteronomy 32:37-38.

This would have been said by gentiles who imagined that the gods were fed especially by such offerings. They were totally unaware of the fact that 'the fat of sacrifices' was what was celestial, or the good of love, within worship, and that 'the wine of a drink-offering' was the truth of faith derived from that good. These offerings, when they were made, stirred the affections of the angels and were therefore prescribed so that through representatives and correspondences heaven might be near to man.

[7] In David,

Jehovah will remember all your offerings, and will make your burnt offering fat. Psalms 20:3.

'Making a burnt offering fat' stands for making worship good. In Isaiah,

Jehovah Zebaoth will make for all peoples on this mountain a feast of fat things, a feast of lees, 2 of fat things full of marrow, of sedimentary lees. 3 He will swallow up death for ever, and the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears from upon all faces. Isaiah 25:6, 8.

'A feast' stands for heaven and being joined to angels there through love and charity, 3596, 3832, 5161, 'fat things' being forms of the good of love and charity. In the same prophet,

Why do you spend money on that which is not bread, and your labour on that which does not satisfy? Attend diligently to Me and eat what is good, that your soul may delight itself in fatness. Isaiah 55:2.

[8] In Jeremiah,

I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and will give them gladness instead of their sorrow. And I will fill the soul of the priests with fat, and My people will be satisfied with My goodness. Jeremiah 31:13-14.

'Fat' plainly stands for what is good, for it is said that 'the soul will be satisfied' with it and it is referred to as 'Jehovah's goodness', meaning nothing else than what is celestial, which is received from Him. In David,

My soul will be satisfied as with fatness and fat, and my mouth will praise You with joyful lips. 4 Psalms 63:5.

Here the meaning is similar. In the same author,

You have crowned the year of Your goodness, and Your tracks drip with fatness. Psalms 65:11

In the same author,

The sons of man put their trust in the shadow of Your wings. They will be filled with the fat of Your house, and You give them drink from the river of Your delights. Psalms 36:7-8.

In Isaiah,

Then Jehovah will give rain for your seed with which you will sow the land, and bread of the produce of the earth; and there will be fatness and wealthiness. Isaiah 30:23.

[9] In John,

All things fat and splendid have gone away, and you will find them no more. Revelation 18:14.

This refers to Babylon. 'All things fat and splendid have gone away' stands for the departure of all forms of the good of love and truth of faith. In Moses,

He caused him to suck honey out of the crag and oil out of the stony rock - butter from the herd, and milk from the flock, with the fat of lambs and of rams, the breed 5 of Bashan, and of goats, with the kidney-fat of wheat; and of the blood of the grape you drink unmixed wine. Deuteronomy 32:13-14.

This refers to the spiritual Ancient Church, whose various kinds of good - meant by 'honey', 'oil', 'butter', 'milk', and 'fat' - are enumerated.

[10] Because 'fat' meant good, the word was also applied to the kinds of things that had no fat in them but nevertheless had good as their meaning, so that 'fat' and 'good' were so to speak one and the same. An example of this is the fat of wheat in the verses quoted immediately above, and similarly in David,

I would feed them with the fat of wheat. Psalms 81:16.

And elsewhere,

He is the one who makes peace your border, and with the fat of wheat He satisfies you. Psalms 147:14.

Also in Moses,

Because all the fat of the pure oil, and all the fat of the new wine and of the grain, which were the first fruits, were Jehovah's, they were given to Aaron. Numbers 18:12.
