Studie

   

1 At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises at kay Aaron, na sinasabi,

2 Pagka ang sinomang tao ay nagkaroon sa balat ng kaniyang laman, ng pamamaga, o langib, o pantal na makintab at naging salot na ketong sa balat ng kaniyang laman, ay dadalhin nga siya kay Aaron na saserdote, o sa isa sa kaniyang mga anak na saserdote:

3 At titingnan ng saserdote ang tila salot na nasa balat ng kaniyang laman: at kung ang balahibo sa tila salot ay pumuti, at makitang ang sugat ay malalim kay sa balat ng kaniyang laman, ay salot na ketong nga: at siya'y mamasdan ng saserdote at ipakikilala siyang karumaldumal.

4 At kung ang pantal na makintab ay maputi sa balat ng kaniyang laman, at makitang hindi malalim kaysa balat, at ang balahibo niyaon ay hindi pumuti, ay kukulungin ng saserdote ang may tila salot na pitong araw.

5 At titingnan siya ng saserdote sa ikapitong araw: at, narito, kung makitang ang tila salot ay tumigil, at hindi kumalat ang tila salot sa balat, ay kukulungin uli siya ng saserdote na pitong araw:

6 At titingnan siya uli ng saserdote sa ikapitong araw: at, narito, kung makitang ang tila salot ay namutla, at ang tila salot ay hindi kumalat sa balat, ay ipakikilalang malinis siya ng saserdote: langib yaon; at kaniyang lalabhan ang kaniyang suot, at magiging malinis.

7 Datapuwa't kung ang langib ay kumakalat sa balat, pagkatapos na siya'y makapakita sa saserdote upang siya'y linisin, ay pakikita siya uli sa saserdote:

8 At titingnan siya ng saserdote; at, narito, kung ang langib ay kumakalat sa balat, ay ipakikilala ng saserdote na karumaldumal: ketong nga yaon.

9 Pagka nagkaroon ng tila salot na ketong ang sinomang tao, ay dadalhin siya sa saserdote;

10 At titingnan siya ng saserdote; at, narito, kung makitang may pamamaga na maputi sa balat, na pumuti ang balahibo, at may matigas na lamang buhay sa pamamaga,

11 Ay malaong ketong nga sa balat ng kaniyang laman, at ipakikilala ng saserdote na siya'y karumaldumal; hindi siya kukulungin; sapagka't siya'y karumaldumal.

12 At kung kumalat ang ketong sa balat, at matakpan ng ketong ang buong balat ng may tila salot, mula sa ulo hanggang sa kaniyang mga paa, sa buong maaabot ng paningin ng saserdote;

13 At titingnan nga siya ng saserdote; at, narito, kung makitang ang ketong ay kumalat sa buong laman niya, ay ipakikilalang malinis ang may tila salot: pumuting lahat: siya'y malinis.

14 Datapuwa't sa alin mang araw na makitaan siya ng lamang buhay, ay magiging karumaldumal siya.

15 At titingnan ng saserdote ang lamang buhay, at ipakikilala siyang karumaldumal: ang lamang buhay ay karumaldumal: ketong nga.

16 O kung magbago uli ang lamang buhay at pumuti, ay lalapit nga siya sa saserdote;

17 At titingnan siya ng saserdote: at, narito, kung pumuti ang tila salot ay ipakikilalang malinis ng saserdote ang may tila salot: siya'y malinis.

18 At kung magkaroon sa balat ng laman ng isang bukol at gumaling,

19 At humalili sa bukol ay isang pamamaga na maputi, o isang pantal na makintab, na namumulang puti, ay ipakikita sa saserdote;

20 At titingnan ng saserdote; at, narito, kung makitang tila impis kaysa balat, at ang balahibo niyaon ay tila pumuti, ay ipakikilala ng saserdote na karumaldumal: salot na ketong yaon; lumitaw sa bukol.

21 Datapuwa't kung pagtingin ng saserdote, ay makitang walang balahibong puti yaon, o hindi impis man kay sa balat, kungdi namutla, ay kukulungin ng saserdote siya na pitong araw.

22 At kung kumalat sa balat, ay ipakikilala ng saserdote na karumaldumal: salot nga yaon.

23 Nguni't kung ang pantal na makintab ay tumigil sa kaniyang kinaroroonan, at hindi kumalat, ay piklat nga ng bukol; at ipakikilala ng saserdote na malinis siya.

24 O pagka nagkaroon sa balat ng laman, ng paso ng apoy, at ang lamang paso ay naging tila pantal na makintab, na namumulang puti, o maputi;

25 At titingnan nga ng saserdote: at, narito, kung makitang ang buhok ay pumuti sa pantal na makintab, at tila mandin malalim kaysa balat; ay ketong nga na lumitaw sa paso: at ipakikilala ng saserdote na karumaldumal; salot na ketong nga yaon.

26 Nguni't kung pagtingin ng saserdote, at, narito, kung makita ngang sa pantal na makintab ay walang balahibong maputi, at hindi impis kaysa balat, kungdi namutla; ay kukulungin nga siya ng saserdote na pitong araw.

27 At titingnan siya ng saserdote sa ikapitong araw: kung kumalat sa balat, ay ipakikilala ng saserdote na karumaldumal: salot na ketong nga yaon.

28 At kung ang pantal na makintab ay tumigil sa kaniyang kinaroroonan at hindi kumalat sa balat, kungdi pumutla, ay pamamaga ng paso yaon, at ipakikilala ng saserdote na malinis: sapagka't piklat ng paso yaon.

29 At kung ang sinomang lalake o babae ay mayroong tila salot sa ulo o sa baba,

30 Ay titingnan nga ng saserdote ang tila salot: at, narito, kung makitang tila malalim kaysa balat, at yao'y may buhok na naninilaw na manipis, ay ipakikilala ng saserdote na karumaldumal: tina nga, ketong nga yaon sa ulo o sa baba.

31 At kung makita ng saserdote ang tila salot na tina, at, narito, tila hindi malalim kaysa balat, at walang buhok na maitim yaon, ay kukulungin ng saserdote na pitong araw ang may tila salot na tina;

32 At sa ikapitong araw ay titingnan ng saserdote ang tila salot; at, narito, kung makita ngang hindi kumalat ang tina, at walang buhok na naninilaw, at tila ang tina ay hindi malalim kaysa balat,

33 Ay aahitan nga, datapuwa't hindi aahitan ang kinaroroonan ng tina; at ipakukulong ng saserdote ang may tina ng muling pitong araw:

34 At titingnan ng saserdote ang tina sa ikapitong araw: at, narito, kung makitang hindi kumalat ang tina sa balat, at tila hindi malalim kaysa balat; ay ipakikilala nga ng saserdote na malinis at siya'y maglalaba ng kaniyang suot at magiging malinis.

35 Nguni't kung ang tina ay kumalat sa balat, pagkatapos ng kaniyang paglilinis;

36 Ay titingnan nga ng saserdote: at, narito, kung makitang kumalat sa balat ang tina ay hindi hahanapin ng saserdote ang buhok na maninilaw; siya'y karumaldumal.

37 Datapuwa't kung sa kaniyang paningin ay tumigil ang tina at may tumubong buhok na itim; ay gumaling ang tina, siya'y malinis: at ipakikilalang malinis siya ng saserdote.

38 At pagka ang isang lalake o babae ay nagkaroon sa balat ng kaniyang laman ng nangingintab na pantal, ng makikintab na pantal na puti;

39 Ay titingnan nga ng saserdote: at, narito, kung makitang ang nangingintab na pantal sa balat ng kaniyang laman ay namumutimuti; yao'y buni na sumibol sa balat; siya'y malinis.

40 At kung ang sinoman ay malugunan ng buhok, ay kalbo gayon ma'y malinis.

41 At kung sa dakong harapan ng ulo nalugunan ng buhok, ay kalbo yaon sa noo gayon ma'y malinis.

42 Datapuwa't kung sa kakalbuhan, sa ulo o sa noo ay magkaroon ng tila salot ng namumulang maputi; ay ketong na sumibol sa kaniyang kakalbuhan ng ulo o sa kaniyang kakalbuhan ng noo.

43 Kung magkagayo'y titingnan siya ng saserdote: at, narito, kung ang pamamaga ng tila salot ay namumulamula ng maputi sa kaniyang kakalbuhan ng ulo o sa kaniyang kakalbuhan ng noo, gaya ng anyo ng ketong sa balat ng kaniyang laman;

44 Ay ketongin siya, siya'y karumaldumal ipakikilala siya ng saserdote na tunay na karumaldumal; nasa kaniyang ulo ang salot niya.

45 At pupunitin ng may ketong na kinaroroonan ng salot, ang kaniyang mga suot at ang buhok ng kaniyang ulo ay ilulugay, at siya'y magtatakip ng kaniyang nguso, at maghihihiyaw. Karumaldumal, karumaldumal.

46 Sa buong panahong siya'y karoonan ng salot, ay magiging karumaldumal; siya'y karumaldumal: siya'y tatahang bukod; sa labas ng kampamento malalagay ang kaniyang tahanan.

47 Ang suot na kinaroroonan ng ketong, maging kasuutang balahibo ng tupa o kasuutang lino;

48 Maging nasa paayon o maging nasa pahalang; ng lino o ng balahibo ng tupa; maging sa balat o sa alin mang yaring balat;

49 Kung ang tila salot ay namemerde o namumula sa kasuutan, o sa balat, maging sa paayon, o maging sa pahalang, o sa alin mang kasangkapang balat; ay salot na ketong nga at ipakikita sa saserdote,

50 At titingnan ng saserdote ang tila salot, at ipatatago ng pitong araw ang bagay na may tila salot:

51 At titingnan ang bagay na may tila salot, sa ikapitong araw: kung kumalat ang tila salot sa kasuutan, maging sa paayon, o sa pahalang, o sa balat, o alin mang ginagawa sa balat, ay ketong na ngumangatngat ang gayon tila salot; yao'y karumaldumal.

52 At kaniyang susunugin ang kasuutan, maging paayon, at maging pahalang ng balahibo ng tupa o lino o sa alin mang kasangkapang balat na kinaroroonan ng salot; sapagka't yao'y ketong na ngumangatngat, yao'y susunugin sa apoy.

53 At kung pagtingin ng saserdote, at, narito, kung makita ngang hindi kumalat ang salot sa kasuutan, maging sa paayon man, o sa pahalang man, o sa alin mang kasangkapang balat;

54 Ay palalabhan nga ng saserdote yaong kinaroroonan ng salot, at ipatatago pa ng pitong araw:

55 At titingnan ng saserdote ang bagay na may salot, pagkatapos na malabhan: at, narito, kung makitang ang salot ay hindi nagbago ang kulay, at hindi kumalat ang salot, yao'y karumaldumal; susunugin mo sa apoy: isang ngatngat nga, maging ang nanisnis ay nasa karayagan o nasa kabaligtaran.

56 At kung pagtingin ng saserdote, at, narito, kung makita ngang namutla ang dakong may salot pagkatapos na malabhan, ay hahapakin sa kasuutan, o sa balat, o sa paayon, o sa pahalang:

57 At kung muling lumitaw sa kasuutang yaon, maging sa paayon, o sa pahalang, o sa alin mang yari sa balat, ay muling sumisibol: susunugin mo sa apoy yaong kinaroroonan ng salot.

58 At ang kasuutan, maging sa paayon, o sa pahalang, o sa alin mang yari sa balat, na iyong labhan, at maalis ang salot, ay lalabhan ngang ikalawa, at magiging malinis.

59 Ito ang kautusan tungkol sa salot na ketong sa kasuutang balahibo ng tupa o lino, maging sa paayon, o sa pahalang, o sa alin mang yari sa balat, upang ipakilalang malinis, o upang ipakilalang karumaldumal.

Apocalypse Explained # 962

962. And there came a great and noxious sore. That this signifies evil works there, and consequent falsifications of truth, is evident from the signification of a sore, as denoting works that are done from man, thus from his proprium, and are evil; of these we shall treat presently. And that great is said of good, and, in the opposite sense, of evil, and noxious of what is falsified; therefore, by a great and noxious sore are signified evil works, and consequent falsifications of truth.

The reason why by sores are signified works from the proprium, and thence evils is, that from man's proprium nothing but evil can be produced. For a man's proprium is that into which he is born, and which he afterwards acquires by his own life. And because his proprium is thus, from its very birth, formed of mere evils, therefore a man must be, as it were, created anew, or regenerated, in order that he may be in good, and thus be received into heaven. When he is regenerated, then the evils from the proprium are removed, and in their place goods are implanted, and this is effected by truths. That evil works, and the falsifications of truths are with those who acknowledge faith alone in doctrine, and confirm it in life, is meant by what follows - that a great and noxious sore is upon the men who have the mark of the beast, and who worship his image.

That sores signify works from the proprium, is evident from the Word, where sores and wounds and various diseases are mentioned; as leprosies, fevers, hemorrhoids, and others; all of which correspond to lusts arising from evil loves, and thence signify them.

[2] What ulcers or wounds signify is further evident from the following passages.

In Isaiah:

"From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it; the wound, and scar, and fresh bruise have not been pressed out, nor bound up, nor mollified with oil. Your whole land is a desert, your cities burned with fire" (1:6, 7).

By these words it is declared that there is no good and, consequently, no truth in the church, but evil and the falsity therefrom. From the sole of the foot even to the head no soundness, signifies that both natural things and spiritual, these being the interiors of man and of his will, are destroyed. Wound and scar, and fresh bruise, signify evils of the will, and the falsities of the thought therefrom, continually abounding. Evils of the will are also evil works. Not bound up, nor mollified with oil, signifies not amended by repentance, nor tempered by good. Your land is a desert, your cities burned with fire, signifies the church devastated as to all truth, and the doctrinals thereof destroyed by a life according to lusts arising from an evil love.

[3] In Hosea:

"Ephraim saw his disease, and Judah his wound; and Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to king Jareb, and he could not heal you; and he shall not cure you of your wound" (5:13).

By Ephraim is signified the church as to the understanding of truth; in this case, as to the understanding of falsity. And by Judah is signified the will of good, here, the will of evil. By Assyria and king Jareb is signified the Rational perverted, as to good and as to truth. The signification of those words in a series is evident, that is, that a man from his own intelligence cannot amend the falsities arising from evils of the will; evil of the will, which also is evil of the life, being meant by wound.

[4] In David:

"Mine iniquities have passed over my head, my wounds stink and are corrupt, by reason of my foolishness" (Psalms 38:4, 5).

Here also wounds signify evils of the will, which are evil works; these are said to stink and to be corrupt by reason of foolishness, when the delight of the will and of thought therefrom is to do them.

[5] In Isaiah:

"In the day that Jehovah bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the wound of their plague" (30:26).

By the breach of the people is signified falsity of doctrine; and by the wound of their plague, evil of life. The reformation of doctrine by means of truths is signified by Jehovah binding up the breach of His people; and reformation of the life by truths, is signified by healing the wound of their plague.

[6] "The Samaritan bound up the wounds of him who was wounded by robbers, and poured therein oil and wine" (Luke 10:33, 34).

This signified that those who are in the good of charity are desirous to amend the evils arising from falsities by means of truths from good. Thieves are those who infuse falsities, whence evils come; the Jews in particular. Wounds are those evils; oil is the good of love, and wine is the truth of the Word and of doctrine.

[7] But these things may be seen explained above (n. 376, 444). By

Lazarus who lay at the threshold of the rich man, full of sores (Luke 16:21),

are meant the nations, who were in falsities from ignorance of truth, and thence were not in goods. These are those who are thence called full of sores. By the rich man, at whose threshold he lay, is meant the Jewish nation, which might have been in truths from the Word which they possessed.

[8] That a sore breaking forth was one of the plagues in Egypt, is evident in Moses:

"Jehovah said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you your hands full of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward heaven in the sight of Pharaoh, and it shall become dust upon all the land of Egypt. And they took the ashes of the furnace, and Moses sprinkled it towards heaven, and it became a sore breaking forth with boils in man and in beast. And the magicians could not stand before Moses on account of the sore, because the sore was upon the magicians and upon all the Egyptians" (Exodus 9:8-11).

By Pharaoh and the Egyptians is signified the natural man obsessed by evils and falsities of every kind; and the love of dominion of the natural man over the spiritual, the spiritual man being there signified by the sons of Israel. By the miracles performed there, which were so many plagues, and also are called diseases, are signified so many evils and falsities infesting, devastating, and destroying the church with spiritual men. By the ashes of the furnace which Moses sprinkled toward heaven, are signified the falsities of lusts that are excited. By the dust in the land of Egypt, is signified damnation. By the sore breaking forth in boils, are signified the filthy things of the will together with blasphemies. But these things may be seen explained in detail in Arcana Coelestia 7516-7532).

[9] Similar things are also signified by these words in Moses:

"Jehovah will smite thee with the sore of Egypt, and with hemorrhoids, and with the scab and the itch, that thou canst not be healed, with which thou shalt become insane from the beholding of the eyes. Jehovah shall smite thee with an evil sore upon the knees and upon the thighs, of which thou canst not be healed" (Deuteronomy 28:27, 34-36).

By the plagues named there are signified evils and falsities of various kinds arising from the filthy loves of the natural man, for they correspond thereto. For sores and wounds exist from injury to the flesh and blood, and evils and falsities from the injury to Divine Good and Divine truth; and flesh corresponds to good, and therefore in the Word signifies it; and blood, to truth, and hence signifies it.

[10] Because leprosy signifies the profanation of truth; and the profanation of truth is various, and is, consequently, light and grievous, exterior and interior, and according to the quality of the truth profaned, therefore also its effects are various, these being signified by the appearances in leprosy; which were tumours, sores of tumours, white pustules, reddenings, abscesses, burnings, cutaneous eruption, scurf, etc. (Leviticus 13:1 to the end). Such things happened to the Jewish nation from correspondence, not only in their flesh, but also in their garments, houses, and vessels, on account of their profanations of the Word.

Continuation concerning the Second Precept:-

[11] Because by the name of God is meant the Divine truth, or the Word; and by its profanation denial of its sanctity, and thence contempt, rejection, and blasphemy, it follows that the name of God is interiorly profaned by a life contrary to the precepts of the Decalogue. For there is profanation interior and not exterior; and there is a profanation interior, and at the same time exterior. And there may be also somewhat of profanation which is exterior and not at the same time interior. Interior profanation is effected by the life, exterior by the speech. The interior profanation, by the life, becomes also exterior or by speech, after death. For then every one thinks and wills, and, as far as it is permitted, speaks and acts, according to his life; thus, not as he used in the world. In the world a man is accustomed to speak and act differently from his own life; he thinks and wills for the sake of the world, and to get fame. This is why, as was said, there is a profanation which is interior, and not at the same time exterior.

That there may be also somewhat of profanation which is exterior, and not at the same time interior, may result from the style of the Word, which is not at all the style of the world; and may consequently be to some extent despised from ignorance of its interior sanctity.
