1 Szóla ismét az Úr Mózesnek, mondván:

2 Mikor vétkezik valaki, és hûtlenséget követ el az Úr ellen, [tudniillik] eltagadja felebarátjának reábízott vagy kezébe adott holmiját, vagy megrabolja vagy zsarolja felebarátját;

3 Vagy ha elveszett holmit talált, és eltagadja, vagy valami miatt hamisan esküszik, akármi is az, a mit az ember úgy cselekszik, hogy vétkezik vele:

4 Mivelhogy azért bûnössé lett és vétkezett, térítse vissza az elrablottat, a mit rabolt, vagy a zsaroltat, a mit zsarolt, vagy a reá bízottat, a mi reá bízatott, vagy az elveszettet, a mit megtalált;

5 Vagy akármi legyen, a mire hamisan esküdött, fizesse meg azt teljes értéke szerint, és hozzátoldva az ötödrészét, adja azt annak, a kié volt, bûnbevallásának napján.

6 Az õ bûnéért pedig vigyen az Úrnak a nyájból egy ép kost a paphoz, a te becslésed szerint, bûnért való áldozatul.

7 Így szerezzen néki engesztelést a pap az Úr elõtt, és megbocsáttatik néki mindaz, a mit cselekedett, és a miben vétkezett.

8 Szóla ismét az Úr Mózesnek, mondván:

9 Parancsolj Áronnak és az õ fiainak, mondván: Ez az egészen égõáldozat törvénye: Legyen az egészen égõáldozat az oltáron levõ tüzelõhelyen egész éjszaka, mind reggelig, és az oltárnak tüze égve maradjon azon.

10 A pap öltse fel az õ gyolcs ruháját, és a gyolcs lábravalót is öltse fel az õ testére, és szedje el a hamut, a mivé égette a tûz az égõáldozatot az oltáron, és töltse azt az oltár mellé.

11 Azután vesse le azt a ruháját, és öltözzék más ruhába, és vigye ki a hamut a táboron kivül, tiszta helyre.

12 Az oltáron lévõ tûz pedig égve maradjon azon, el ne aludjék, hanem égessen fát rajta a pap minden reggel, és rakja reá az egészen égõáldozatot, és azon füstölögtesse el a hálaáldozat kövérjét [is].

13 A tûz szüntelen égve maradjon az oltáron, és el ne aludjék.

14 Ez pedig az ételáldozatnak törvénye: az Áron fiai áldozzák azt az Úr elõtt az oltáron.

15 És vegyen valaki közülök az ételáldozat lisztlángjából egy marokkal, és annak olajából is, a tömjént pedig, a mely az ételáldozathoz való, mind; és égesse el az oltáron; annak emlékeztetõ része kedves illat az Úr elõtt.

16 A mi pedig megmarad belõle, egyék meg Áron és az õ fiai, kovásztalanul egyék meg, szenthelyen, a gyülekezet sátorának pitvarában egyék meg azt.

17 Ne süssék [azt] kovászszal, [mert] nékik adtam azt, részökül az én tûzáldozataimból; igen szentséges az, mint a bûnért és vétekért való áldozat.

18 Az Áron fiai közül minden férfiú egye azt. Örökkévaló rendtartás legyen ez a ti nemzetségeiteknél az Úrnak tûzáldozatai felõl. Valaki illeti azokat, szent legyen.

19 Szóla ismét az Úr Mózesnek, mondván:

20 Ez Áronnak és az õ fiainak áldozatjok, a melyet az Úrnak áldozzanak, mikor felkenik õket: Egy efa lisztlángnak tizedrésze mindenkor ételáldozatul, fele reggel, fele pedig estve.

21 Serpenyõben készíttessék, olajjal összegyúrva vidd el azt, az ételáldozati süteményeket darabokban áldozd az Úrnak kedves illatul.

22 A mely pap az õ helyébe kenetik fel az õ fiai közül, az mívelje ezt. Örökkévaló rendtartás ez, az Úrnak mindenestõl füstölögtessék el.

23 Mert a pap minden ételáldozatának mindenestõl meg kell égettetni, nem kell [abból semmit] megenni.

24 Szóla ismét az Úr Mózesnek, mondván:

25 Szólj Áronnak és az õ fiainak, mondván: Ez a bûnért való áldozat törvénye: a mely helyen meg szokták ölni az egészen égõáldozatot, azon a helyen öljék meg a bûnért való áldozatot az Úr elõtt; igen szentséges az.

26 A mely pap megáldozza azt a bûnért, az egye meg azt, szent helyen egye meg, a gyülekezet sátorának pitvarában.

27 Valami annak a húsát érinti, szent legyen, és ha annak vérébõl valami a ruhájára esik [valakinek], azt, a mire a vér esett, mosd meg szenthelyen.

28 És a cserépedényt, a melyben azt fõzték, törjék el; hogyha pedig érczfazékban fõzték, súrolják meg, és mossák meg vízzel.

29 A papok között minden férfiú eheti azt; igen szentséges az.

30 Valamely bûnért való áldozat vérébõl bevisznek a gyülekezet sátorába, a szenthelyen való engesztelés végett, az meg nem ehetõ: tûzzel égettessék meg.

10133. 'A continual [offering]' means within all Divine worship. This is clear from the meaning of 'continual', when it refers to such things as belong to Divine worship, as all and within all. For the subject is purification from evils and falsities by means of the good of innocence, this good being meant by 'lambs' and purification from evils and consequent falsities by a burnt offering of them. This is called 'continual' because it must be present in all Divine worship. Therefore also the offering was presented twice each day, in the morning and in the evening; and offerings made morning and evening served in general to represent all worship and what must be present within all worship. The good of innocence must be in all good, and consequently in all truth, if they are to be goodness and truth that have life from the Divine within them, and so it must be within all worship. For all worship, to be worship, must spring from the good of love and from the truths of faith.

All of the Church's and of heaven's good has innocence within it, and without that innocence good is not good, nor therefore is worship worship, see 2736, 2780, 6013, 7840, 7887, 9262.

What innocence is, 3994, 4001, 4797, 5236, 6107, 6765, 7902, 9262, 9936, and the places referred to in 10021 (end).

[2] 'Continual' means all and within all - that is to say, the all of worship, and within all worship - because it is a term that has a temporal connotation and in heaven, where the Word is understood not in the natural but in the spiritual sense, people have no notions of time. Instead of periods of time they perceive the kinds of things that are states. By 'continual' at this point therefore they perceive a perpetual state within worship, thus the all of worship and within all worship. The same applies to all other terms in the Word which have temporal connotations, such as yesterday, today, tomorrow, two days, three days, daily, a week, a month, a year, also times of day and seasons of the year - morning, midday, evening, night, spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Therefore if the spiritual sense of the Word is to be understood, any idea of a period of time acquired from its natural sense, any idea of a place as well, indeed any idea of an actual person must be set aside, and states of things must be conceived of instead. From this it may be seen how perfect the Word is in its internal sense, and so how perfect is the perception of it by the angels in heaven, consequently how much more excellent angels' wisdom and understanding are than the understanding and wisdom of people in the world, who think with solely natural vision focused on the completely finite things of this world and planet. Regarding periods of time in heaven, that they are states, see 1274, 1382, 2625, 2788, 2837, 3254, 3356, 3404, 3827, 4814, 4882, 4901, 4916, 6110, 7218, 7381, 8070; and regarding what states are, 4850.

[3] From all this it is evident what the continual burnt offering of lambs means, and so what 'continual' and 'continually' mean elsewhere, as in the commands that 'the fire shall burn continually on the altar', Leviticus 6:13, and that 'the continual bread shall be on the table', Numbers 4:7. 'The fire' there and 'the bread' mean the good of love received from the Lord and offered back to Him. For 'the fire', that it has this meaning, see 4906, 5215, 6314, 6832, 6834, 6849, 7324, 7852, 10055; and also for 'the bread', 2165, 2177, 3478, 3735, 3813, 4211, 4217, 4735, 4976, 9323, 9545. In those places as well 'continual' means in addition that this good must be present in all worship; and the fact that the same good is the source from which the truth of faith must shine, as if from its fire, is meant by the decree that they were to cause a lamp to go up 1 continually, Exodus 27:20, 'a lamp' being the truth and good of faith, see 9548, 9783.

6849. 'For he was afraid to look at God' means for fear that they should suffer harm from the presence of the Divine itself. This is clear from the meaning of 'being afraid' as for fear that they, interior things, should suffer harm (for this was the reason for his fear); and from the meaning of 'looking at God' as the presence of the Divine itself. For the only way in which the Lord can make Himself present before a person is through the persons inner seeing, through seeing Him with the eye of faith that belongs to charity. If the Lord does manifest Himself in an outward visible form to someone, it is still the inner levels of mind that are affected, for the Divine reaches into the deepest parts of him. With regard to the meaning here, that interior things should not suffer harm from the presence of the Divine itself, and that therefore they were to be protected, the situation is this: The Divine itself is pure love, and pure love is like a fire hotter than the fire of the sun in this world. Consequently if Divine Love in its purity were to flow into any angel, spirit, or man, he would be completely destroyed, which is why so many times in the Word Jehovah or the Lord is called a consuming fire. To ensure therefore that the angels in heaven suffer no harm from the flow of heat from the Lord as the sun, each of them is veiled with a kind of thin cloud suited to the individual, which moderates the heat flowing in from that sun.

[2] The truth that without this form of preservation everyone would be destroyed by the presence of the Divine had been well known to the ancients, which was why they were afraid of seeing God, as is clear in the Book of Judges,

Gideon saw that he was the angel of Jehovah, therefore Gideon said, O Lord Jehovah! Inasmuch as I have seen the angel of Jehovah face to face. And Jehovah said to him, Peace be to you; do not fear, for you will not die. Judges 6:12, 23.

In the same book,

Manoah said to his wife, We shall surely die, for we have seen God. Judges 13:22.

And in the Book of Exodus,

Jehovah said to Moses, You cannot see My face, for no man will see My face and live. Exodus 33:20.

[3] When therefore Moses was allowed to see God, he was placed in a cleft of the rock, Exodus 33:22, which represented the dimness of his faith, and the clouds that hid and protected him. How dangerous it can be for angels to be beheld by the Divine without being covered by a cloud is made very clear by the fact that when angels look at any spirit who is governed by evil he seems to change into something resembling a lifeless object, as I have often been allowed to see. The reason why this happens is that when the angels look at someone there is cast in his direction the light and heat of heaven, and the truth of faith and the good of love with them, which - when these penetrate - virtually deprive the evil of life.

[4] If this is what happens when angels look at them, what would happen if the Lord did so? This explains why the hells are utterly remote from heaven, and why those who are there wish to be remote, for if they are not they suffer dreadful torment. This makes plain the meaning of the following words, They will say to the mountains and rocks, Rush down on us and hide us from the face of Him who is seated on the throne. Revelation 6:16; Luke 23:30; Hosea 10:8.

[5] Thus the presence of the Divine itself is such that no angel can bear it unless he is protected by a cloud which tempers and moderates the rays of light and the heat from that sun. From this one may recognize plainly that the Lord's Human is Divine, for if it were not Divine it could never have become so united to the Divine itself, called the Father, that they are one, according to the Lord's words in John 14:10 and following verses, and elsewhere. For that which is to receive the Divine in this way must be wholly Divine; what was not Divine from such a union would be plainly reduced to nothing. Let me use a comparison. Can anything be thrown into the fire of the sun and not be destroyed, unless it is similar in nature to the sun? So, can anyone enter the intense heat of infinite love unless he has in him the heat of the same kind of love, consequently unless he is none other than the Lord? The truth that the Father is within Him and that the Father does not show Himself except within His Divine Human is clear from the Lord's words in John,

Nobody has ever seen God; the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, He has made Him known. John 1:18.

And elsewhere in the same gospel,

You have never heard His voice nor seen His shape. John 5:37.
