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

2 Ito ang palatuntunan ng kautusan na iniutos ng Panginoon, na sinasabi, Salitain mo sa mga anak ni Israel, na sila'y magdala sa iyo ng isang mapulang guyang bakang babae, na walang kapintasan, na walang dungis, na hindi pa napapatungan ng pamatok.

3 At ibibigay ninyo kay Eleazar na saserdote, at kaniyang ilalabas sa kampamento at papatayin ng isa sa kaniyang harapan:

4 At si Eleazar na saserdote ay dadampot ng dugo sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang daliri, at magwiwisik ng dugo na makapito sa dakong harap ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan:

5 At susunugin ng isa sa paningin niya ang guyang bakang babae; ang balat niyaon at ang laman niyaon, at ang dugo niyaon, sangpu ng dumi niyaon, ay susunugin niya:

6 At ang saserdote ay kukuha ng kahoy na sedro, at ng isopo, at ng kulay grana, at ihahagis sa gitna ng pinagsusunugan sa guyang bakang babae.

7 Saka lalabhan ng saserdote ang kaniyang mga suot at kaniyang paliliguan ang kaniyang laman sa tubig, at pagkatapos ay papasok siya sa kampamento at ang saserdote ay magiging marumi hanggang sa hapon.

8 At yaong sumunog sa baka ay maglalaba ng kaniyang mga suot sa tubig at kaniyang paliliguan ang kaniyang laman sa tubig, at magiging marumi hanggang sa hapon.

9 At pupulutin ng isang taong malinis ang mga abo ng guyang bakang babae at ilalagay sa labas ng kampamento sa isang dakong malinis; at iingatan ukol sa kapisanan ng mga anak ni Israel na pinaka tubig para sa karumihan: handog nga dahil sa kasalanan.

10 At yaong pumulot ng mga abo ng guyang bakang babae ay maglalaba ng kaniyang mga suot, at magiging marumi hanggang sa hapon; at sa mga anak ni Israel at sa taga ibang bayan na nakikipamayan sa kanila, ay magiging isang palatuntunan magpakailan man.

11 Ang makahipo ng bangkay ng sinomang tao, ay magiging marumi na pitong araw:

12 Ang gayon ay maglilinis sa pamamagitan ng tubig na yaon sa ikatlong araw, at sa ikapitong araw ay magiging malinis: nguni't kung siya'y hindi maglinis sa ikatlong araw, ay hindi nga siya magiging malinis sa ikapitong araw.

13 Sinomang humipo ng patay, ng bangkay ng taong patay, at hindi maglilinis, ay ihahawa ang tabernakulo ng Panginoon; at ang taong yaon ay ihihiwalay sa Israel: sapagka't ang tubig para sa karumihan ay hindi iniwisik sa kaniya, siya'y magiging marumi; ang kaniyang karumihan ay sumasakaniya pa.

14 Ito ang kautusan pagka ang isang tao ay namamatay sa isang tolda: lahat na pumapasok sa tolda at lahat na nasa tolda ay magiging maruming pitong araw.

15 At bawa't sisidlang bukas na walang takip na nakatali roon, ay marumi.

16 At sinomang humipo sa luwal na parang ng alin mang pinatay ng tabak, o ng bangkay, o ng buto ng tao, o ng libingan, ay magiging maruming pitong araw.

17 At sa taong marumi, ay kukuha sila ng mga abo sa sunog niyang handog dahil sa kasalanan, sa mga yaon ay ilalagay ang tubig na buhay sa isang sisidlan.

18 At isang malinis na tao ay kukuha ng isopo, at itutubog sa tubig at iwiwisik sa tolda at sa lahat ng kasangkapan, at sa mga taong nandoon, at sa humipo ng buto, o ng bangkay, o ng patay, o ng libingan:

19 At iwiwisik ng taong malinis sa marumi sa ikatlong araw, at sa ikapitong araw: at lilinisin niya siya sa ikapitong araw; at siya'y maglalaba ng kaniyang mga suot, at maliligo sa tubig at magiging malinis sa hapon.

20 Nguni't ang taong magiging marumi, at hindi maglilinis, ay ihihiwalay ang taong yaon sa gitna ng kapulungan, sapagka't kaniyang inihawa ang santuario ng Panginoon: ang tubig para sa karumihan ay hindi nawisik sa kaniya; siya'y marumi.

21 At ito'y magiging isang palatuntunan magpakailan man sa kanila: at yaong nagwiwisik ng tubig para sa karumihan, ay maglalaba ng kaniyang mga suot; at yaong humipo ng tubig para sa karumihan ay magiging marumi hanggang sa hapon.

22 At anomang hipuin ng taong marumi ay magiging marumi; at ang taong humipo niyaon ay magiging marumi hanggang sa hapon.

10441. 'And repent [of the evil] against Your people' means having mercy on them. This is clear from the meaning of 'repenting', when it has reference to Jehovah, as having mercy. The reason why 'repenting' means having mercy is that Jehovah does not ever repent, since He foresees and makes provision for all things from eternity. Repentance is a reaction that can take place only in someone who has no knowledge of the future and who sees, as events unfold, that he has made a mistake. Nevertheless the Word speaks of Jehovah's reacting in that kind of way because the sense of the letter consists of ideas of things as man sees them. For it is intended for very simple people and for young children, who at first go no further than that sense. Also young children and very simple people's interests lie in the most external things, from which they start out and in which after this their inner thoughts and feelings terminate. For this reason the Word in the letter must be understood differently by those who have become wiser.

[2] The situation with the Word is similar to that with the human being. Everything within him terminates in flesh and bones; these are the container of everything there. Unless they existed in place of a foundation or support a person could not remain in being; for he would have no final level in which all things within him could terminate and on which they could rest. The situation is similar with the Word. This must have a final level in which everything within it terminates; that final level is the sense of the letter, and the inner things are the heavenly matters belonging to the internal sense. From all this it is now evident that the way things appear to man is the reason why Jehovah is said to repent, when in fact He does not repent.

[3] The fact that Jehovah is said to repent is clear from a large number of places in the Word, such as the following: In Jeremiah,

If [a nation] does evil in My sight so that it does not obey My voice, I will repent of the good with which I said I would benefit it. Jeremiah 18:10.

In the same prophet,

It may be that they will listen and every man turn from his evil way, that I may repent of the evil which I am thinking to do to them on account of the wickedness of their doings. Jeremiah 26:3.

In Ezekiel,

When My anger is accomplished and I make My wrath rest on them, I will repent. Ezekiel 5:13.

In Amos,

Jehovah repented. It shall not happen, He said. Amos 7:3, 6.

In Moses,

Jehovah will judge His people, and repent over 1 His servants. Deuteronomy 32:36.

In Jonah,

The king of Nineveh said, Who knows, God may turn and be moved to repentance 2 , and turn from the heat of His anger, and we may not perish! And they turned from their evil way; therefore God repented of the evil which He had said He would do to them, so that He did not do it. Jonah 3:9-10.

In the Book of Genesis,

Jehovah repented that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. Genesis 6:6.

In the first Book of Samuel,

I have repented that I have made Saul king, for he has turned away from following Me. 1 Samuel 15:11, 35.

[4] From these places which speak of Jehovah's having repented, when in fact He cannot repent since He knows all things before He does them, it is evident that 'repenting' means having mercy. The fact that Jehovah never repents is also clear from the Word, as in Moses,

Jehovah 3 is not a man (vir), that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will not act? Or has He spoken, and will not carry it out? Numbers 23:19.

And in the first Book of Samuel,

The Invincible One of Israel does not lie, nor does He repent, for He is not a man (homo), that He should repent. 1 Samuel 15:29.

The fact that when Jehovah is said to repent His mercy is meant is clear in Joel,

Jehovah is gracious and merciful, long-suffering, and great in compassion, and One who is accustomed to repent of evil. Joel 2:13.

And in Jonah,

God is gracious and merciful, long-suffering, and great in kindness, and One who repents of evil. Jonah 4:2.
