Leviticus 8

Lernen

   

1 I mluvil Hospodin k Mojžíšovi, řka:

2 Vezmi Arona a syny jeho s ním, i roucha jejich a olej pomazání, též volka k oběti za hřích, a dva skopce, a koš s přesnými chleby,

3 A shromažď všecko množství ke dveřím stánku úmluvy.

4 I učinil Mojžíš, jakž přikázal jemu Hospodin, a shromáždilo se všecko množství ke dveřím stánku úmluvy.

5 Tedy řekl Mojžíš tomu množství: Totoť jest to slovo, kteréž přikázal vykonati Hospodin.

6 A rozkázav přistoupiti Mojžíš Aronovi a synům jeho, umyl je vodou.

7 A oblékl jej v sukni a přepásal ho pasem, a oděv ho pláštěm, dal náramenník svrchu na něj, a připásal jej pasem náramenníka a otáhl ho jím.

8 A vložil na něj náprsník, do něhožto dal urim a thumim.

9 Potom vstavil čepici na hlavu jeho; a dal na čepici jeho po předu plech zlatý, korunu svatou, jakož přikázal Hospodin Mojžíšovi.

10 Vzal také Mojžíš olej pomazání a pomazal příbytku i všech věcí, kteréž byly v něm, a posvětil jich.

11 A pokropil jím oltáře sedmkrát, a pomazal oltáře i všeho nádobí jeho, též umyvadla i s podstavkem jeho, aby to všecko posvěceno bylo.

12 Vlil také oleje pomazání na hlavu Aronovu, a pomazal ho ku posvěcení jeho.

13 Rozkázal také Mojžíš přistoupiti synům Aronovým, a zobláčel je v sukně, a opásal je pasem, a vstavil na ně klobouky, jakož byl přikázal Hospodin jemu.

14 A přivedl volka k oběti za hřích, i položil Aron a synové jeho ruce své na hlavu volka oběti za hřích.

15 I zabil jej a vzal krev jeho, a pomazal rohů oltáře vůkol prstem svým, a tak očistil oltář. Ostatek pak krve vylil k spodku oltáře a posvětil ho k očišťování na něm.

16 Vzal také všecken tuk, kterýž byl na střevách, a branici s jater a obě ledvinky i tuk jejich, a pálil to Mojžíš na oltáři.

17 Volka pak toho i kůži jeho, i maso jeho, i lejna jeho spálil ohněm vně za stany, jakož byl přikázal Hospodin Mojžíšovi.

18 Potom přivedl skopce oběti zápalné, a položil Aron i synové jeho ruce své na hlavu toho skopce.

19 I zabil jej, a pokropil Mojžíš krví oltáře po vrchu vůkol.

20 Skopce také rozsekal na kusy jeho, a pálil Mojžíš hlavu, kusy i tuk.

21 Střeva pak a nohy vymyl vodou, a tak spálil Mojžíš všeho skopce na oltáři. I byl zápal u vůni líbeznou, obět ohnivá Hospodinu, jakož přikázal Hospodin Mojžíšovi.

22 Rozkázal také přivésti skopce druhého, skopce posvěcení, a položil Aron i synové jeho ruce své na hlavu skopce.

23 I zabil jej, a vzav Mojžíš krve jeho, pomazal jí konce pravého ucha Aronova a palce ruky jeho pravé, i palce nohy jeho pravé.

24 Tolikéž synům Aronovým rozkázav přistoupiti, pomazal kraje ucha jejich pravého a palce ruky jejich pravé, též palce nohy jejich pravé, a vykropil krev na oltář svrchu vůkol.

25 Potom vzal tuk a ocas i všecken tuk přikrývající droby a branici s jater, též obě dvě ledvinky i tuk jejich i plece pravé.

26 Také z koše přesných chlebů, kteříž byli před Hospodinem, vzal jeden koláč přesný a jeden pecník chleba s olejem a jeden oplatek, a položil to s tukem a s plecem pravým.

27 A dal to všecko v ruce Aronovy a v ruce synů jeho, rozkázav obraceti sem i tam v obět obracení před Hospodinem.

28 Potom vzav z rukou jejich, pálil to na oltáři v zápal. Posvěcení toto jest u vůni rozkošnou, obět ohnivá Hospodinu.

29 Vzal také Mojžíš hrudí a obracel je sem i tam v obět obracení před Hospodinem;a z skopce posvěcení dostal se Mojžíšovi díl, jakož mu byl přikázal Hospodin.

30 Vzal také Mojžíš oleje pomazání a krve, kteráž byla na oltáři, a pokropil Arona i roucha jeho, též synů Aronových a roucha jejich s ním. A tak posvětil Arona i roucha jeho, též synů jeho i roucha jejich s ním.

31 I řekl Mojžíš Aronovi a synům jeho: Vařte to maso u dveří stánku úmluvy, a jezte je tu, i chléb, kterýž jest v koši posvěcení, jakož jsem přikázal, řka: Aron a synové jeho jísti budou je.

32 Což by pak zůstalo masa i chleba toho, ohněm to spálíte.

33 A ze dveří stánku úmluvy za sedm dní nevycházejte až do dne, v kterémž by se vyplnili dnové svěcení vašeho; nebo za sedm dní posvěcovány budou ruce vaše.

34 Jakož se stalo dnešní den, tak přikázal Hospodin činiti k očištění vašemu.

35 Protož u dveří stánku úmluvy zůstanete ve dne i v noci za sedm dní, a ostříhati budete nařízení Hospodinova, abyste nezemřeli; nebo tak mi jest přikázáno.

36 Učinil tedy Aron i synové jeho všecky věci, kteréž přikázal Hospodin skrze Mojžíše.

9229. 'And men of holiness shall you be to Me' means a state of life then composed of good. This is clear from the meaning of 'men of holiness' as those who are led by the Lord, for the Divine which emanates from the Lord is holiness itself, 6788, 7499, 8127 (end), 8302, 8806. Consequently those who receive that emanation in faith and also in love are called holy ones. Anyone who imagines that a person is holy from any other source, or that anything present with a person is holy apart from that which comes and is received from the Lord is very much mistaken; for that which is the person's own, and is called his proprium, is evil.

The human proprium is nothing but evil, see 210, 215, 694, 874-876, 987, 1047, 4328, 5660, 5786, 8480, 8944.

To the extent that a person can be withheld from his proprium, the Lord can be present with him, and therefore to the same extent holiness resides with him, 1023, 1044, 1581, 2256, 2388, 2406, 2411, 8206, 8393, 8988 (end), 9014.

[2] The truth that the Lord is the Only Holy One, and that nothing is holy except that which emanates from the Lord, and so that which a person receives from the Lord, is evident from everywhere in the Word, as in John,

I make Myself holy, that they also may be made holy in the truth. John 17:19.

'Making Himself holy' means making Himself Divine by His own power. Consequently those who receive Divine Truth emanating from the Lord in faith and life are said to be 'made holy in the truth'.

[3] This also explains why after the Resurrection, when the Lord spoke to the disciples, He breathed on them and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit, John 20:22. 'Breathing on (or into)' was a sign that represented the imparting of life through faith and love, as also in Genesis,

Jehovah breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man (homo) became a living soul. Genesis 2:7.

Other examples like this may be seen elsewhere, such as Psalms 33:6; 104:29-30; Job 32:8; 33:4; John 3:8. Therefore also the Word is said to be inspired because it comes from the Lord, and those who wrote the Word have been called 'inspired'. Breathing, and so breathing on or inspiring, corresponds to the life of faith, see 97, 1119, 1120, 3883-3896. This explains why the term spirit in the Word is derived from the word for wind, and holiness from the Lord is called Jehovah's wind, 8286, and why the Holy Spirit is the holiness emanating from the Lord, 3704, 4673 (end), 5307, 6788, 6982, 6993, 8127 (end), 8302, 9199.

[4] So also it says in John 1:33 that the Lord baptizes with the Holy Spirit, and in Luke 3:16 that He baptizes with the Holy Spirit and with fire. 'Baptizing' in the internal sense means regenerating, 4255, 5120 (end), 9088; 'baptizing with the Holy Spirit' means regenerating by means of the good of faith; and 'baptizing with fire' means regenerating by means of the good of love, 'fire' being the good of love, see 934, 4906, 5215, 6314, 6832, 6834, 6849, 7324. In John,

Who is not going to fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. Revelation 15:4.

In Luke the angel telling Mary about the Lord said,

That which is holy will be born from you. Luke 1:35.

And in Daniel,

I saw in the visions of my head while on my bed, and behold, a vigilant and holy one came down from heaven. Daniel 4:13.

In these places 'that which is holy' and 'a holy one' stand for the Lord.

[5] Because the Lord alone is holy He is called in the Old Testament the Holy One of Israel, the Redeemer, the Saviour, and the Regenerator, as in Isaiah 1:4; 5:19, 24; 10:20; 12:6; 17:7; 29:19; 30:11-12, 15; 31:1; 37:23; 41:14, 16, 20; 43:3, 14; 45:11; 47:4; 48:17; 49:7; 54:5; 55:5; 60:9, 14; Jeremiah 50:29; 51:5; Ezekiel 39:7; Psalms 71:22; 78:41; 89:18. This is why the Lord in heaven, and consequently heaven itself, is called the dwelling-place of holiness, Jeremiah 25:30; 31:23; 1 Isaiah 63:15; the sanctuary, 2 Ezekiel 11:16; 24:21; and also the mountain of holiness, Psalms 3:4. It is also why the middle of the tent [of meeting], where the ark containing the law was, was called The Holy of Holies, Exodus 26:33-34; for the law in the ark in the middle of the tent [of meeting], represented the Lord in respect of the Word. For the law is the Word, 6752, 7463.

[6] All this shows why it is that the angels are called holy in Matthew 25:31; Mark 8:38; Luke 9:26; Psalms 149:1; Daniel 8:13; also the prophets, Luke 1:70; and the apostles too, Revelation 18:20. Not that they are holy by their own virtue but that the Lord, who alone is holy and the only source of holiness, makes them so. For truths are meant by 'the angels', because they are those who receive truth from the Lord, 1925, 4085, 4295, 4402, 7268, 7873, 8192, 8301; teachings which present the truth that comes through the Word from the Lord are meant by 'the prophets', 2534, 7269; and all the truths and forms of the good of faith in their entirety which come from the Lord are meant by 'the apostles', 3488, 3858 (end), 6397.

[7] Consecrations 3 among the Israelite and Jewish people took place in order that the Lord who alone was holy might be represented, and in order that holiness, which He alone is the source of, might be represented. This is the reason for the consecration of Aaron and his sons, Exodus 29:1ff; Leviticus 8:10-11, 13, 30; the consecration of their garments, Exodus 29:21ff; the consecration of the altar in order that it might be most holy, 4 Exodus 29:37ff; the consecration of the tent of meeting, the ark of the Testimony, the table, all the vessels, the altar of incense, the altar of burnt offering and its vessels, and the laver and its base, Exodus 30:26ff.

[8] The truth that the Lord is the real Holiness that was represented is evident also from the Lord's words in Matthew when they are seen in the internal sense,

Fools and blind! Which of the two is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold holy? And which of the two is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift holy? Matthew 23:17-19.

'The temple' represented the Lord Himself, and so did 'the altar', while 'the gold' was a sign of the good that comes from the Lord, and 'the gift' or a sacrifice was a sign of things constituting faith and charity that come from the Lord.

The Lord was represented by 'the temple', see 2777, 3720, and by 'the altar', 2777, 2811, 4489, 8935, 8940. 'Gold' was a sign of good that comes from the Lord, 1551, 1552, 5658, and 'a sacrifice' a sign of worship springing from faith and charity that come from the Lord, 922, 923, 2805, 2807, 2830, 6905, 8680, 8682, 8936.

[9] From all this it is now evident why it is that the children of Israel were called a holy people in Deuteronomy 26:19 and elsewhere, or as in the present verse men of holiness. That is to say, they were so called because every single aspect of their worship represented Divine realities that are the Lord's, and celestial and spiritual things of His kingdom and Church. On this account they were called holy in a representative sense; they themselves were not holy on that account, because representatives had regard to the holy things that were represented, not to the person who represented them, see 665, 1097 (end), 1361, 3147, 3881 (end), 4208, 4281, 4288, 4293, 4307, 4444, 4500, 6304, 7048, 7439, 8588, 8788, 8806.

[10] On that account also was Jerusalem called holy, and Zion the mountain of holiness in Zechariah 8:3 and elsewhere, as well as in Matthew,

And the tombs were opened, and many bodies of dead holy ones were raised; and coming out of their tombs after the Lord's resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many. Matthew 27:52-53.

Here Jerusalem is called 'the holy city', when in fact, quite to the contrary, it was unholy because the Lord was crucified there at that time, for which reason it is called 'Sodom and Egypt' in John,

Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Revelation 11:8.

Yet it is called holy, because it means the Lord's kingdom and the Church, 402, 2117, 3654. The appearance of 'dead holy ones' there, an event witnessed by some in vision, was a sign of the salvation of people who belonged to the spiritual Church, and of the raising of those people to the Holy Jerusalem, which is heaven - the people who had been kept up to that time on the lower earth, spoken of in 6854, 6914, 7091, 7828, 7932, 8049, 8054, 8159, 8321.

3513. 'And I will eat' means in that way making it its own. This is clear from the meaning of 'eating' as being made one's own, dealt with in 2187, 2343, 3168, 3503. It is made its own when, by means of forms of pleasantness and delight, truths, that is, cognitions of good and truth, are instilled into the natural; and when these truths are allied to the good in the natural, communication is effected with the truth and good of the rational and so with the rational itself. It is this communication that the expression 'being made one's own' is used to describe, for those truths belong to the rational within the natural. Indeed truths in the rational are related to those in the natural in the way that individual parts are related to their general wholes. It is well known that a general whole is the product of its individual parts and that without the individual parts no general whole can be produced. It is the general whole produced from the individual parts belonging to the rational that is manifested in the natural. And being a general whole it takes a different form, doing so according to the order of the individual constituent parts, and so according to the form that results. If it is the more specific and the consequent individual parts of celestial good and spiritual truth that give form to the general whole within the natural, then it is a celestial and spiritual form that is presented, and something of heaven is represented as a kind of image in the specific parts constituting the general whole. But if the more specific and the individual parts which give form to the general whole within the natural do not consist of good and truth but of evil and falsity, something of hell is in that case represented as a kind of image in the specific parts constituting the general whole.

[2] Such are the things meant by eating and drinking in the Holy Supper, where again eating and drinking mean making one's own; that is to say, 'eating' means making good one's own and 'drinking' making truth one's own. If good, that is to say, love to the Lord and charity towards the neighbour, gives form to the internal or rational man, and by way of this rational man gives form to a corresponding external or natural man, the person becomes in particular and in general an image of heaven, and therefore an image of the Lord. But if contempt for the Lord and for the good and truth of faith, and hatred towards the neighbour give form to the rational man, the person becomes in particular and in general an image of hell - the more so if at the same time he eats and drinks in a holy manner, for profanation then results. Consequently people who eat and drink worthily make eternal life their own, whereas those who do so unworthily make [eternal] death their own.
