At si Moises at si Aaron at ang kaniyang mga anak, ay nagsipaghugas doon ng kanilang mga kamay at ng kanilang mga paa;
Exodo 40:31
Apocalypse Revealed # 629
629. "And give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come." This symbolizes an acknowledgment and confession that all the Word's truth which makes the church a church comes from the Lord, and that everyone will be judged in accordance with it.
To give glory to Him means, symbolically, to acknowledge and confess that every truth comes from the Lord, as may be seen in no. 249 above; and because every truth that makes the church a church is drawn from the Word, it is the Word's truth that is meant. "For the hour of His judgment has come" means symbolically that everyone will be judged in accordance with the Word's truth. This is the symbolic meaning because to give glory to Him means, symbolically, to acknowledge and confess that the Word's truth all comes from the Lord, and we are told next, "for the hour of His judgment has come," the word "for" entailing this as the cause.
That everyone will be judged by the Word's truth may be seen in 233, 273 above. And that the church is founded on the Word, and that its character is such as its understanding of the Word, may be seen in The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Regarding the Sacred Scripture, nos. 76-79.
It is apparent from this that the spiritual meaning of these words is as stated. It is as stated because angels in heaven perceive glory to mean nothing else than Divine truth; and because all Divine truth comes from the Lord, they perceive giving glory to Him to mean an acknowledgment and confession that all truth comes from Him. For all glory in the heavens springs from no other origin, and to the extent that any society in heaven is governed by Divine truth, to the same extent everything in it is radiant, and the angels are surrounded by a commensurate glorious radiance.
[2] That glory means Divine truth can be seen from the following passages:
The voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Prepare the way of Jehovah... The glory of Jehovah shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it...." (Isaiah 40:3, 5)
...shine, for your light has come, and the glory of Jehovah is risen upon you... Jehovah will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you. (Isaiah 60:1-2 to the end)
I will... give You as a covenant to the people, as a light to the Gentiles..., and My glory I will not give to another... (Isaiah 42:6, 8)
For My own sake, for My own sake, I will do it... And I will not give My glory to another. (Isaiah 48:11)
They shall fear... His glory from the rising of the sun... The Redeemer will come to Zion... (Isaiah 59:19-20)
...your light shall break forth like the morning...; the glory of Jehovah shall gather you. (Isaiah 58:8)
...He will come to gather all nations and tongues, that they may... see My glory. (Isaiah 66:18)
(Jehovah said,) "I live, and all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Jehovah." (Numbers 14:21)
The whole earth is full of His glory! (Isaiah 6:1-3)
In the beginning was the Word..., and the Word was God... In Him was life, and the life was the light of men... That was the true Light... And the Word became flesh..., and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father... (John 1:1, 4, 9, 14)
These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory... (John 12:41)
And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with... glory. (Matthew 24:3, 30)
The heavens shall declare the glory of God... (Psalms 19:1)
Then the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah, and all the kings of the earth Your glory, because (He) built up Zion, (and) He appeared in His glory. (Psalms 102:15-16)
...the glory of God (will illuminate the Holy Jerusalem) and the Lamb is its light. And the nations (which) are saved shall walk in its light... (Revelation 21:23-25)
...the Son of Man (will come) in His glory...(to) sit on the throne of His glory. (Matthew 25:31, cf. Mark 8:38)
That the glory of Jehovah filled and covered the Tabernacle: Exodus 40:34-35, Numbers 14:10-12; 16:19; 16:42.
That it filled the house of Jehovah: 1 Kings 8:10-11.
And so on elsewhere as in Isaiah 24:23; Ezekiel 1:28; 8:4; 9:3; 10:4, 18-19; 11:22-23; Luke 2:32; 9:26; John 2:11; 7:18; 17:24.
Numbers 15
1
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2
"Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you have come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you,
3
and will make an offering by fire to Yahweh, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a freewill offering, or in your set feasts, to make a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, of the herd, or of the flock;
4
then he who offers his offering shall offer to Yahweh a meal offering of a tenth part [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin of oil:
5
and wine for the drink offering, the fourth part of a hin, you shall prepare with the burnt offering, or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.
6
"'Or for a ram, you shall prepare for a meal offering two tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with the third part of a hin of oil:
7
and for the drink offering you shall offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
8
When you prepare a bull for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace offerings to Yahweh;
9
then shall he offer with the bull a meal offering of three tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil:
10
and you shall offer for the drink offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
11
Thus shall it be done for each bull, or for each ram, or for each of the male lambs, or of the young goats.
12
According to the number that you shall prepare, so you shall do to everyone according to their number.
13
"'All who are native-born shall do these things in this way, in offering an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
14
If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, or whoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh; as you do, so he shall do.
15
For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner [with you], a statute forever throughout your generations: as you are, so shall the foreigner be before Yahweh.
16
One law and One ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner with you.'"
17
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
18
"Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you come into the land where I bring you,
19
then it shall be that when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a wave offering to Yahweh.
20
Of the first of your dough you shall offer up a cake for a wave offering: as the wave offering of the threshing floor, so you shall heave it.
21
Of the first of your dough you shall give to Yahweh a wave offering throughout your generations.
22
"'When you shall err, and not observe all these commandments, which Yahweh has spoken to Moses,
23
even all that Yahweh has commanded you by Moses, from the day that Yahweh gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations;
24
then it shall be, if it be done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, with the meal offering of it, and the drink offering of it, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering.
25
The priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire to Yahweh, and their sin offering before Yahweh, for their error:
26
and all the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them; for in respect of all the people it was done unwittingly.
27
"'If one person sins unwittingly, then he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin offering.
28
The priest shall make atonement for the soul who errs, when he sins unwittingly, before Yahweh, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven.
29
You shall have one law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is native-born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them.
30
"'But the soul who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, the same blasphemes Yahweh; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
31
Because he has despised the word of Yahweh, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be on him.'"
32
While the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day.
33
Those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation.
34
They put him in custody, because it had not been declared what should be done to him.
35
Yahweh said to Moses, "The man shall surely be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside of the camp."
36
All the congregation brought him outside of the camp, and stoned him to death with stones; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
37
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
38
"Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them that they should make themselves fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put on the fringe of each border a cord of blue:
39
and it shall be to you for a fringe, that you may look on it, and remember all the commandments of Yahweh, and do them; and that you not follow after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you use to play the prostitute;
40
that you may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy to your God.
41
I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Yahweh your God."
