Levitico 8

Studie

   

1 At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, na sinasabi,

2 Dalhin mo si Aaron at pati ng kaniyang mga anak, at ang mga kasuutan, at ang langis na pangpahid, at ang torong handog dahil sa kasalanan, at ang dalawang tupang lalake, at ang bakol ng mga tinapay na walang lebadura:

3 At pulungin mo ang buong kapisanan sa pintuan ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan.

4 At ginawa ni Moises ayon sa iniutos sa kaniya ng Panginoon; at nagpupulong ang kapisanan sa pintuan ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan.

5 At sinabi ni Moises sa kapisanan, Ito ang ipinagawa ng Panginoon.

6 At dinala ni Moises si Aaron at ang kaniyang mga anak, at hinugasan ng tubig.

7 At isinuot sa kaniya ang kasuutan, at binigkisan ng pamigkis, at ibinalabal sa kaniya ang balabal, at sa kaniya'y ipinatong ang epod, at ibinigkis sa kaniya ang pamigkis ng epod na mainam ang pagkayari, at tinalian nito.

8 At ipinatong sa kaniya ang pektoral: at inilagay sa loob ng pektoral ang Urim at ang Thummim.

9 At ipinatong ang mitra sa kaniyang ulo; at ipinatong sa mitra sa harap, ang laminang ginto, ang banal na putong; gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises.

10 At kinuha ni Moises ang langis na pang-pahid, at pinahiran ang tabernakulo, at ang lahat ng nandoon, ay pinapaging banal.

11 At winisikan niya niyaon ang ibabaw ng dambana na makapito, at pinahiran ng langis ang dambana at ang lahat ng kasangkapan niyaon, at ang hugasan at ang tungtungan niyaon, upang ariing banal.

12 At binuhusan ng langis na pang-pahid ang ulo ni Aaron, at pinahiran niya ng langis siya upang papagbanalin.

13 At pinalapit ni Moises ang mga anak ni Aaron, at sila'y sinuutan ng mga kasuutan, at binigkisan ng mga pamigkis, at itinali sa kanilang ulo ang mga tiara; gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises.

14 At kaniyang inilapit ang torong handog dahil sa kasalanan: at ipinatong ni Aaron at ng kaniyang mga anak ang mga kamay nila sa ulo ng torong handog dahil sa kasalanan.

15 At pinatay niya; at kumuha si Moises ng dugo at ipinahid ng kaniyang daliri sa ibabaw ng mga anyong sungay ng dambana sa palibot, at nilinis ang dambana, at ang dugo'y ibinuhos sa tungtungan ng dambana, at inaring banal upang pagtubusan.

16 At kinuha niya ang lahat ng taba na nasa ibabaw ng mga lamang loob, at ang lamad ng atay, at ang dalawang bato, at ang taba ng mga yaon, at sinunog ni Moises sa ibabaw ng dambana.

17 Datapuwa't ang toro, at ang balat, at ang laman, at ang dumi, ay sinunog niya sa apoy sa labas ng kampamento; gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises.

18 At iniharap niya ang tupang lalake na handog na susunugin: at ipinatong ni Aaron at ng kaniyang mga anak ang mga kamay nila sa ulo ng tupa.

19 At kaniyang pinatay yaon: at iniwisik ni Moises ang dugo sa ibabaw ng dambana sa palibot.

20 At kinatay niya ang tupa; at sinunog ni Moises ang ulo, at ang mga putolputol, at ang taba.

21 At kaniyang hinugasan sa tubig ang lamang loob at ang mga paa; at sinunog ni Moises ang buong tupa sa ibabaw ng dambana; handog na susunugin nga na pinakamasarap na amoy: handog nga sa Panginoon na pinaraan sa apoy; gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises.

22 At iniharap niya ang ikalawang tupa, ang tupa na itinatalaga: at ipinatong ni Aaron at ng kaniyang mga anak ang kanilang mga kamay sa ulo ng tupa.

23 At kaniyang pinatay yaon; at kumuha si Moises ng dugo niyaon, at inilagay sa pingol ng kanang tainga ni Aaron, at sa daliring hinlalaki ng kaniyang kanang kamay, at sa daliring hinlalaki ng kaniyang kanang paa.

24 At pinaharap niya ang mga anak ni Aaron, at nilagyan ni Moises ng dugong yaon sa pingol ng kanilang kanang tainga, at sa daliring hinlalaki ng kanang kamay nila, at sa daliring hinlalaki ng kanang paa nila: at iniwisik ni Moises ang dugo sa ibabaw ng dambana sa palibot.

25 At kinuha niya ang taba, at ang matabang buntot, at ang lahat ng tabang nasa ibabaw ng lamang loob, at ang lamad ng atay, at ang dalawang bato, at ang taba ng mga yaon, at ang kanang hita:

26 At sa bakol ng tinapay na walang lebadura na inilagay sa harap ng Panginoon, ay kumuha siya ng isang munting tinapay na walang lebadura, at ng isang munting tinapay na nilangisan at ng isang manipis na tinapay, at ipinaglalagay sa ibabaw ng taba at sa ibabaw ng kanang hita:

27 At inilagay na lahat sa mga kamay ni Aaron at sa mga kamay ng kaniyang mga anak, at pinagaalog na pinakahandog na inalog sa harap ng Panginoon.

28 At kinuha ni Moises sa kanilang mga kamay, at sinunog sa dambana sa ibabaw ng handog na susunugin: mga talagang pinakamasarap na amoy: handog nga sa Panginoon na pinaraan sa apoy.

29 At kinuha ni Moises ang dibdib at inalog na pinakahandog na inalog sa harap ng Panginoon: ito ang bahagi ni Moises sa tupang itinalaga; gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises.

30 At kumuha si Moises ng langis na pang-pahid, at ng dugong nasa ibabaw ng dambana, at iniwisik kay Aaron, sa kaniyang mga suot, at sa kaniyang mga anak, at sa mga suot ng kaniyang mga anak na kasama niya; at pinapaging banal si Aaron at ang kaniyang mga suot, at ang kaniyang mga anak at ang mga suot ng kaniyang mga anak na kasama niya.

31 At sinabi ni Moises kay Aaron at sa kaniyang mga anak, Pakuluan ninyo ang laman sa pintuan ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan: at doon ninyo kanin, at ang tinapay na nasa bakol ng itinatalaga, ayon sa iniutos ko, na sinasabi, Kakanin ni Aaron at ng kaniyang mga anak.

32 At ang labis sa laman at sa tinapay ay susunugin ninyo sa apoy.

33 At sa pintuan ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan ay huwag kayong lalabas na pitong araw, hanggang sa maganap ang mga kaarawan ng inyong pagtalaga: sapagka't pitong araw na kayo'y matatalaga.

34 Kung paano ang ginawa sa araw na ito, ay gayon ang iniutos ng Panginoon na gawin upang itubos sa inyo.

35 At sa pintuan ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan ay matitira kayo gabi't araw na pitong araw, at inyong tutuparin ang kautusan ng Panginoon, upang huwag kayong mamatay: sapagka't gayon ang iniutos ko.

36 At ginawa ni Aaron at ng kaniyang mga anak ang lahat na iniutos ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ni Moises.

1082. And shall eat her flesh, signifies rejection of its evils, which are adulterated goods, and then the manifestation that they were without any good. This is evident from the signification of "flesh," as being the good of the Word and of the church, and in the contrary sense the evil thereof. Here "flesh" means evils, which are adulterated goods. Also from the signification of "to eat," as being to consume, but here to reject wholly, because this is said of the Reformed, who have rejected the works or goods of Babylon, which consist especially in gifts to the idols of their saints, to their sepulchers, also to monasteries, and to the monks themselves, given as offerings for various expiations. It follows that the same words mean also the manifestation that they were without any good, for when spurious and meritorious goods are rejected, which are signified by the "flesh that they should eat," it is then manifest that they are without any good.

[2] "Flesh" has various significations in the Word. It signifies what is man's own [proprium], thus either his good or evil, and from this it signifies the whole man. But in the highest sense it signifies the Lord's Divine Human, and particularly the Divine good of the Divine love that proceeds from Him. That "flesh" signifies the Divine Human as to the good of love is evident in John:

Jesus said, I am the living bread, which cometh down out of heaven; if anyone eat of this bread he shall live forever; and the bread which I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. The Jews, therefore, strove one with another, saying, How can this one give His flesh to eat? Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood ye shall not have life in yourselves. He that eateth My flesh and drinketh My blood hath eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day; for My flesh is truly food, and My blood is truly drink. He that eateth My flesh and drinketh My blood abideth in Me and I in him. This is the bread which cometh down out of heaven (John 6:51-58).

It is clearly evident that "flesh" here means the own [proprium] of the Lord's Divine Human, which is the Divine good of the Divine love, and is that which is called in the Holy Supper the body. (That the "body" there, that is, the "flesh," is the Divine good, and the "blood" is the Divine truth, may be seen above, n. 329.) And as "bread and wine" have the same signification as "flesh and blood," "bread" meaning the Divine good, and "wine" the Divine truth, therefore these were commanded in place of flesh and blood.

[3] Divine good from the Lord was signified also by the flesh of the sacrifices that Aaron, his sons, and those who sacrificed, and others who were clean, might eat:

And that this was holy (may be seen in Exodus 12:7-9, 29:31-34; Leviticus 7:15-21; 8:31; Deuteronomy 12:27; 16:4);

Consequently if an unclean person ate of that flesh he would be cut off from his people (Leviticus 7:21).

That those sacrifices were called bread (Leviticus 22:6-7).

That that flesh was called the flesh of holiness (Jeremiah 11:15; Haggai 2:12),

And the flesh of the offering, which was to be upon the table in the Lord's kingdom (Ezekiel 40:43).

The Lord's Divine Human is also called "flesh" in John:

The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us; and we saw His glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father (John 1:14).

[4] That "flesh" signified also the good with man can be seen from the following passages. In Ezekiel:

I will give them one heart, and I will give a new spirit in the midst of you, and I will take away the heart of stone out of their flesh, and I will give them a heart of flesh (Ezekiel 11:19; 36:26).

"Heart of flesh" means the will and love of good. In David:

O God, Thou art my God, in the morning I seek Thee; my soul thirsteth for Thee; my flesh longeth for Thee in a land of drought and weariness without waters (Psalms 63:1).

In the same:

My soul longeth for the courts of Jehovah; my heart and my flesh cry out unto the living God (Psalms 84:2).

The "flesh" that longeth for Jehovah, and that crieth out unto the living God, signifies man as to good of the will, for the "flesh" of man corresponds to the good or evil of his will, and the "blood" to the truth or falsity of his understanding; here "flesh" means the good of the will, because it longeth for Jehovah and crieth out unto God.

[5] In Job:

I have known my Redeemer, He liveth, and at the last He shall rise upon the dust; and afterwards these things shall be encompassed by my skin, and from my flesh I shall see God (Job 19:25-27).

To see God from one's flesh signifies from one's own voluntary made new by the Lord, and thus good. In Ezekiel:

Upon the bones seen in the midst of the valley, I will put sinews, and I will cause flesh to come up upon them, and I will cover them with skin, and I will give spirit unto them that they may live (Ezekiel 37:6, 8).

Here, too, "flesh" signifies what is one's own [proprium] of the will made new by the Lord, and thus good. What "bones" and the rest signify here may be seen above (n. 418, 419, 665). In Revelation:

Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God, that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of commanders of thousands, and the flesh of the mighty, and the flesh of horses and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all, free and bond, small and great (Revelation 19:17-18; Ezekiel 39:17-19).

That "flesh" here does not mean flesh but goods of every kind, is clearly evident.

[6] But on the other hand, that "flesh" signifies man's own voluntary, which regarded in itself is evil, is evident from the following passages. In Isaiah:

They shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm (Isaiah 9:20).

In the same:

I will feed thine oppressors with their own flesh (Isaiah 49:26).

In Jeremiah:

I will feed you with the flesh of their sons and with the flesh of their daughters; and they shall eat every man the flesh of his companion (Jeremiah 19:9).

In Zechariah:

The rest shall eat everyone the flesh of another (Zechariah 11:9).

In Moses:

I will chastise you sevenfold for your sins, and ye shall eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters (Leviticus 26:28-29).

[7] In Jeremiah:

Cursed is the man who trusteth in man and maketh flesh his arm (Jeremiah 17:5).

Here "flesh" signifies what is man's own [proprium] which in itself is evil; to appropriate this to oneself is signified by eating and feeding upon it. Again, "flesh" signifies what is man's own [proprium] in Matthew:

Jesus said, Blessed art thou, Simon, for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee (Matthew 16:17).

In John:

As many as received, to them gave He power to become sons of God, who were born, not from bloods nor from the will of the flesh, but from God (John 1:12-13).

In Ezekiel:

Jerusalem committed whoredom with the sons of Egypt her neighbors, great in flesh (Ezekiel 16:26).

In Isaiah:

Egypt is man and not God, and his horses are flesh and not spirit (Isaiah 31:3).

In John:

It is the spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing (John 6:63).

In the same:

That which is born of the flesh is flesh, that which is begotten of the spirit is spirit (John 3:6).

In David:

God remembered that they were flesh, a breath that passeth away and returneth not (Psalms 78:39).

The evil of man's will, which is what is his own [proprium] from birth is what is signified in these passages by "flesh"; also by:

The flesh that the sons of Israel lusted after in the desert, and on account of which they were smitten with a great plague, and from which the place was called graves of lust (Numbers 11:4-34).

Moreover, in the Word the expression "all flesh" is frequently used as meaning every man (as in Genesis 6:12, 13, 17, 19; Isaiah 40:5, 6; 49:26; 66:16, 23, 24; Jeremiah 25:31; 32:27; 45:5; Ezekiel 20:48, 21:4, 5; and elsewhere).

(Continuation respecting the Word)

[8] The spiritual by influx presents what is correspondent to itself in the natural, in order that the end may become a cause, and the cause become an effect, and thus the end through the cause may present itself in the effect as visible and sensible. This trine, namely, end, cause, and effect, is given from creation in every heaven. The end is the good of love, the cause is truth from that good, and the effect is use. That which produces is love, and the product therefrom is of love from good by means of truth. The final products, which are in our world, are various, as numerous as the objects are in its three kingdoms of nature, animal, vegetable, and mineral. All products are correspondences.

[9] As this trine, namely, end, cause, and effect, exists in each heaven, there must be in each heaven products that are correspondences, and which in form and aspect are like the objects in the three kingdoms of our earth; from which it is clear that each heaven is like our earth in external appearance, differing only in excellence and beauty according to degrees. Now in order that the Word may be full, that is, may consist of effects in which are a cause and an end, or may consist of uses, in which truth is the cause and good is the end and love is that which produces, it must needs consist of correspondences; and from this it follows that the Word in each heaven is like the Word in our world, differing only in excellence and beauty according to degrees. What this difference is shall be told elsewhere.
