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.

9468. 'And twice-dyed scarlet' means mutual love. This is clear from the meaning of 'scarlet' and 'twice-dyed' as celestial truth, which is the same thing as the good of mutual love. There are two kingdoms into which the angelic heaven is divided, the celestial kingdom and the spiritual kingdom. In both there is an internal and an external, the internal in the celestial kingdom being the good of love to the Lord and the external the good of mutual love. This external good is what 'twice-dyed scarlet' serves to mean, 'scarlet' the actual good and 'twice-dyed' its truth. But in the spiritual kingdom the internal is the good of charity towards the neighbour and the external the good of obedience that is the product of faith. 'Twice-dyed scarlet' means the good of mutual love and its truth on account of its appearance in the next life; for when the sphere of that good and truth is revealed visually in the lowest heaven it appears there as the colour scarlet. For what comes down from the celestial heaven and appears on a lower level begins as flaming red but is turned into scarlet on the lower level by the whiteness of light in the middle heaven through which it passes. This explains why twice-dyed scarlet was to be used among the other colours on the curtains of the dwelling-place, Exodus 26:1, on the veil before the ark, Exodus 26:31, on the screen to the door of the tent, Exodus 26:36, on the screen to the gate of the court, Exodus 27:16, on the ephod, Exodus 28:6, on the belt, Exodus 28:8, on the breastplate of judgement, Exodus 28:15, and on the hem of the robe of the ephod, Exodus 28:33.

[2] The fact that 'twice-dyed scarlet' means the good of mutual love, which is the external good of the celestial kingdom or Church, is evident from the consideration that over the table where the loaves of the Presence were laid a twice-dyed scarlet cloth was to be spread, which was then to be covered with a covering of badger skin, Numbers 4:8. The inmost things of the celestial kingdom or Church were meant by what lay on the table, chiefly the loaves, but more external things by its coverings. This also accounts for the order in which the materials that were to be gathered together are listed, that is to say, the inmost things, which were the violet and the purple, are mentioned first; the more external things, which were the twice-dyed scarlet, the fine linen, and the wool of she-goats, are mentioned secondly; and the completely external things, which were the skins of red rams and the skins of badgers, are mentioned last. The like applies everywhere else in what follows.

[3] Since external celestial good and its truth is meant by 'twice-dyed scarlet', this colour is used to portray the outward sense of the Word and teachings derived from it. The reason for this is that the Word is Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good, appearing as flaming light in the inmost heaven and as brilliantly white light in the middle heaven.

[4] The Word and teachings derived from the Word are portrayed in this way in the second Book of Samuel,

David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan, and entitled it, To teach the children of Judah the bow. Daughters of Israel, weep over Saul who clothed you in twice-dyed delicately, 1 who placed an ornament of gold on your apparel. 2 Samuel 1:17-18, 24.

'Clothing in twice-dyed' stands for providing with truths that go with the good of mutual love, thus with truths from a celestial origin. This prophetic utterance refers to teachings about faith separated from teachings about love and charity; that is to say, it refers to truths which are snuffed out by such a separation but are then restored by those teachings about love and charity. For by 'the Philistines', who killed Saul and Jonathan, are meant those who champion teachings about faith separated from teachings about love and charity, 3412, 3413, 8093, 8096, 8099, 8313; and 'teaching the children of Judah the bow' means providing those who are governed by the good of love and charity with the truths that compose religious teachings.

'The children of Judah' are those governed by the good of love, see 3654, 3881, 5583, 5603, 5782, 5794, 5833, 6363.

'The bow' is teachings that send out the truth, 2686, 2709.

[5] In Jeremiah,

You who have therefore been laid waste, what will you do? If you clothe yourself in twice-dyed, if you deck yourself with ornaments of gold, in vain will you make yourself beautiful. Jeremiah 4:30.

This refers to the Church when it has been laid waste. 'Clothing oneself in twice-dyed and decking oneself with ornaments of gold' means pointing out the truths of doctrine from a celestial origin and the good ways to live, consequently pointing out truths and aspects of good derived from the Word. Something similar occurs in the same prophet,

Those who ate delicacies are desolate 2 in the streets; those brought up in scarlet have embraced the dunghill. Lamentations 4:5.

'Being brought up in scarlet' stands for receiving instruction since early childhood in the good of mutual love derived from the Word.

[6] Because those things contained in the outward sense of the Word appear in heaven as the colour scarlet, for the reason stated above, people who use the outward sense of the Word to substantiate falsities arising from the evils of selfish and worldly love, thus ideas contrary to truths and forms of the good of love to the Lord and of mutual love, are said to be clothed in purple and scarlet. For their externals, being from the Word, display such an appearance; but their internals are profane. Such things are meant by 'scarlet' in John,

I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of blasphemous names. She was clothed in purple and scarlet. Revelation 17:3-4.

This refers to Babylon, which means a religion in which the holy things of the Word are made profane by the use of them to support false ideas that favour the devilish kinds of love, which are self-love and love of the world, and so to exercise control in heaven and on earth. Like things are also meant in another part of the same book, [where it is called,]

The great city, which was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and covered 3 with gold and precious stones and pearls. Revelation 18:16.

Therefore also fine linen, purple, and scarlet are listed among Babylon's wares in Revelation 18:12.

[7] Since the outward aspect of the Word appears in heaven as the colour scarlet, and since there is an influx from heaven into the human memory, in which the things derived from the Word appear in that shade of colour, scarlet was used with objects that served as a reminder of something, as in Moses,

The children of Israel shall make for themselves a fringe on the hems of garments, and they shall put on the fringe of the hem a violet 4 thread, that by means of it they might remember all the commandments of Jehovah and do them. 5 Numbers 15:38-39.

[8] For the same reason also it was customary in ancient times, when meaningful signs were in common use, to tie on a scarlet thread as the memorial or reminder of something, as one reads about Tamar's son Zerah, 6 on whose hand the midwife tied a twice-dyed thread, Genesis 38:28, 30, and about the prostitute Rahab, who tied a scarlet thread on the window, so that the spies would remember the promise, Joshua 2:18, 21.

[9] Since a person cannot be released from evils and falsities except by means of the truths and forms of good that reside with the person from the Word, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop were used in cleansings from leprosy, Leviticus 14:4-7, 49-52. For 'leprosy' means truth when it has been rendered profane, and so has been falsified, 6963, and 'being cleansed' means being released from those ills by means of truths and forms of good which are derived from the Word. Scarlet was in like manner used in the preparation of the water of separation and expiation involving the red cow, Numbers 19:6; the water of separation and expiation served as well to mean purification and release from evils and falsities by means of truths and forms of good that are derived from the Word.

[10] As the majority of things in the Word can have a contrary meaning, so too can 'twice-dyed' and 'scarlet'. Then they mean falsities and evils, which are the opposites of those truths and forms of good, as in Isaiah,

Though your sins are like twice-dyed, they will be as white as snow. Though they are as red as scarlet, they will be like wool. Isaiah 1:18.

The same applies to 'red', 'blood', 'flame', and 'fire'. In the true sense they mean forms of the good of love and faith, but in the contrary sense the evils which are their opposites.
