1 Osmoga dana Mojsije pozva Arona, njegove sinove i starješine Izraelove

2 i reče Aronu: "Uzmi jedno tele za žrtvu okajnicu, jednoga ovna za žrtvu paljenicu, oboje bez mane, i dovedi ih pred Jahvu.

3 A Izraelcima reci ovako: 'Uzmite jednoga jarca za žrtvu okajnicu, tele i janje od godine, oboje bez mane, za žrtvu paljenicu;

4 a junca i ovna za žrtvu pričesnicu da žrtvujete pred Jahvom; napokon prinosnicu, s uljem zamiješenu; jer će vam se danas Jahve ukazati.'"

5 Dovedu oni pred Šator sastanka što je Mojsije naredio; naprijed stupi sva zajednica i stane pred Jahvu.

6 "Ovo je zapovijed", reče Mojsije, "koju je Jahve izdao. Izvršite je, da vam se pokaže slava Jahvina."

7 Zatim Mojsije reče Aronu: "Stupi k žrtveniku, prinesi svoju žrtvu okajnicu i svoju žrtvu paljenicu i tako izvrši obred pomirenja za se i svoj dom; onda prinesi dar naroda i za nj izvrši obred pomirenja, kako je Jahve naredio."

8 Aron se primače žrtveniku i zakla tele žrtve za svoj vlastiti grijeh.

9 Zatim mu Aronovi sinovi donesu krvi. On u nju zamoči svoj prst i stavi je na rogove žrtvenika. Potom ostalu krv izli podno žrtvenika.

10 A loj, bubrege i privjesak s jetre žrtve okajnice sažeže u kad na žrtveniku, kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju.

11 Meso i kožu spali na vatri izvan tabora.

12 Zakolje poslije toga žrtvu paljenicu, od koje mu sinovi Aronovi pruže krv. On njome zapljusne žrtvenik sa svih strana.

13 Dodaju mu i žrtvu paljenicu, dio po dio, a tako i glavu, i on je sažeže u kad na žrtveniku.

14 Drobinu i noge opere pa i njih na žrtveniku sažeže u kad povrh žrtve paljenice.

15 Zatim prinese dar naroda. Uze jarca žrtve okajnice za grijehe naroda, zakla ga i prinese kao žrtvu okajnicu, isto onako kao i prijašnju.

16 Donese potom žrtvu paljenicu i prinese je prema propisu.

17 Donijevši poslije toga žrtvu prinosnicu, od nje zagrabi pregršt i sažeže na žrtveniku u kad povrh jutarnje žrtve paljenice.

18 Napokon zakolje junca i ovna kao žrtvu pričesnicu za narod. Aronovi mu sinovi pruže krv, a on zapljusne žrtvenik sa svih strana;

19 dodaju mu i loj s junca i ovna, pretili rep, loj oko drobine, bubrege i privjesak s jetre.

20 Metnuvši te masne dijelove na grudi, sažga ih u kad na žrtveniku.

21 A grudi i desno pleće Aron prinese kao žrtvu prikaznicu pred Jahvom, kako je Mojsije naredio.

22 Tada Aron podiže ruke spram naroda i blagoslovi ga. Pošto prinese žrtvu okajnicu, paljenicu i pričesnicu, siđe.

23 Poslije toga Mojsije i Aron uđoše u Šator sastanka. Kad iziđoše, blagosloviše narod. Slava Jahvina pokaza se svemu narodu.

24 Ispred Jahve izbi oganj i sažga žrtvu paljenicu i masne komade na žrtveniku. A sav narod, vidjevši to, viknu od veselja i pade ničice.

934. 'Cold' means the absence of love, that is, of charity and faith, 'heat' or 'fire' the presence of love or of charity and faith. This becomes clear from the following places in the Word: In John, in the letter to the Church at Laodicea,

I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot! But because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot I will spew you out of My mouth. Revelation 7:15, 16.

Here 'cold' stands for no charity, 'hot' for much. In Isaiah,

Thus said Jehovah, I will be still and I will behold in My place; like clear heat on the light, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. Isaiah 18:4.

The subject here is a new Church that is to be founded. 'Heat on the light' and 'the heat of harvest' stand for love and charity. In the same prophet,

Jehovah's fire is in Zion, and His furnace in Jerusalem. Isaiah 3:9.

'Fire' stands for love. Concerning the cherubim seen by Ezekiel,

As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches, moving between the living creatures. And the five was bright and out of the fire went forth lightning. Ezekiel 1:13.

[2] And concerning the Lord in the same prophet,

Above the firmament that was above the heads of the cherubim, in appearance like a sapphire stone, there was the likeness of a throne, and above the likeness of a throne, there was a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it above. And I saw as it were the shape of fiery coals, as the shape of fire, within it round about, from the appearance of His loins upwards. And from the appearance of His loins and downwards I saw as it were the appearance of fire, whose brightness was round about it. Ezekiel 1:26-27; 8:2.

Here 'fire' stands for love. In Daniel,

The Ancient of Days was seated. His throne was flames of fire, its wheels were burning fire. A stream of fire issued and came forth from before Him, a thousand thousands served Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. Daniel 7:9-10.

'Fire' stands for the Lord's love. In Zechariah,

I will be to her, said Jehovah, a wall of fire round about. Zechariah 2:5.

This refers to the New Jerusalem. In David,

Jehovah makes winds His messengers, and flaming fire His ministers. Psalms 104:4.

'Flaming fire' stands for that which is celestial-spiritual.

[3] Because 'fire' meant love, fire also became a representative of the Lord. This is clear from 'the five on the altar of burnt offering that was to be kept burning all the time', Leviticus 6:9, 12-13, representing the Lord's mercy. For this reason 'before Aaron entered the place of atonement he had to burn incense with fire taken from the altar of burnt offering', Leviticus 16:12-14. And also, to signify that worship was acceptable to the Lord, 'fire was sent down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering', as in Leviticus 9:24, and elsewhere. In the Word 'fire' also means self-love and its attendant desire. With that love heavenly love can never agree; consequently it is also said that Aaron's two sons were devoured by fire because they employed strange fire, Leviticus 10:1-2. 'Strange fire' means all self-love and love of the world, and every desire accompanying those loves. In addition heavenly love seems to wicked people like nothing else than a burning and devouring fire; and this is why in the Word devouring fire is attributed to the Lord. The fire on Mount Sinai, for example, which represented the Lord's love or mercy, was perceived by the people as a consuming fire, as a consequence of which they told Moses not to make them hear the voice of Jehovah God, or see the great Fire lest they died, Deuteronomy 18:16. This is how the Lord's love or mercy appears to people engulfed in the fire of self-love and love of the world.
