1 И сделай жертвенник для приношения курений, из дерева ситтим сделай его:

2 длина ему локоть, и ширина ему локоть; он должен быть четыреугольный; а вышина ему два локтя; из него должны выходить роги его;

3 обложи его чистым золотом, верх его и бока его кругом, и роги его;и сделай к нему золотой венец вокруг;

4 под венцом его на двух углах его сделай два кольца из золота;сделай их с двух сторон его; и будут они влагалищем для шестов, чтобы носить его на них;

5 шесты сделай из дерева ситтим и обложи их золотом.

6 И поставь его пред завесою, которая пред ковчегом откровения, против крышки, которая на ковчеге откровения, где Я буду открываться тебе.

7 На нем Аарон будет курить благовонным курением; каждоеутро, когда он приготовляет лампады, будет курить им;

8 и когда Аарон зажигает лампады вечером, он будет курить им: это – всегдашнее курение пред Господом в роды ваши.

9 Не приносите на нем никакого иного курения, ни всесожжения, ни приношения хлебного, и возлияния не возливайте на него.

10 И будет совершать Аарон очищение надрогами его однажды в год; кровью очистительной жертвы за грех он будет очищать его однажды в год в роды ваши. Это святыня великая у Господа.

11 И сказал Господь Моисею, говоря:

12 когда будешь делать исчисление сынов Израилевых припересмотре их, то пусть каждый даст выкуп за душу свою Господу при исчислении их, и не будет между ними язвы губительной при исчислении их;

13 всякий, поступающий в исчисление, должен давать половину сикля, сикля священного; в сикле двадцать гер: полсикля приношение Господу;

14 всякий, поступающий в исчисление от двадцати лет и выше, должендавать приношение Господу;

15 богатый не больше и бедный не меньше полсикля должны давать в приношение Господу, для выкупа душ ваших;

16 и возьми серебро выкупа от сынов Израилевых и употребляй его наслужение скинии собрания; и будет это для сынов Израилевых в память пред Господом, дляискупления душ ваших.

17 И сказал Господь Моисею, говоря:

18 сделай умывальник медный для омовения и подножие его медное, ипоставь его между скиниею собрания и между жертвенником, и налей в него воды;

19 и пусть Аарон и сыны его омывают из него руки свои и ноги свои;

20 когда они должны входить в скинию собрания, пусть они омываются водою, чтобы им неумереть; или когда должны приступать к жертвеннику для служения, для жертвоприношения Господу,

21 пусть они омывают руки свои и ноги свои водою, чтобы им не умереть; и будет им это уставом вечным, ему и потомкам его в роды их.

22 И сказал Господь Моисею, говоря:

23 возьми себе самых лучших благовонных веществ: смирны самоточной пятьсот сиклей , корицы благовонной половину против того, двести пятьдесят, тростника благовонного двести пятьдесят,

24 касии пятьсот сиклей , по сиклю священному, и масла оливкового гин;

25 и сделай из сего миро для священного помазания, масть составную, искусством составляющего масти: это будет миро для священного помазания;

26 и помажь им скинию собрания и ковчег откровения,

27 и стол и все принадлежности его, и светильник и все принадлежности его, и жертвенник курения,

28 и жертвенник всесожжения и все принадлежности его, и умывальник и подножие его;

29 и освяти их, и будет святыня великая: все, прикасающееся к ним, освятится;

30 помажь и Аарона и сынов его и посвяти их, чтобы они были священниками Мне.

31 А сынам Израилевым скажи: это будет у Меня миро священного помазания в роды ваши;

32 тела прочих людей не должно помазывать им, и по составу его не делайте подобного ему;оно – святыня: святынею должно быть для вас;

33 кто составит подобное ему или кто помажет им постороннего, тотистребится из народа своего.

34 И сказал Господь Моисею: возьми себе благовонных веществ: стакти, ониха, халвана душистого и чистого ливана, всего половину,

35 и сделай из них искусством составляющего мастикурительный состав, стертый, чистый, святый,

36 и истолки его мелко, и полагай его пред ковчегом откровения в скинии собрания, где Я буду открываться тебе: это будет святыня великая для вас;

37 курения, сделанного по сему составу, не делайте себе: святынею да будет оно у тебядля Господа;

38 кто сделает подобное, чтобы курить им, истребится из народа своего.

10286. 'The man who makes an ointment like it' means imitations of Divine things produced by [human] cunning. This is clear from the meaning of 'making that which is like it' as imitating it; and from the meaning of 'ointment' as Divine Truths which are the Lord's alone and come from the Lord alone, dealt with above in 10264. The reason why imitations produced by [human] cunning is meant is that all imitation of Divine things by a person is a product of that cunning. The nature of all this may be recognized from what has been stated and shown above in 10284; but further light may be shed on it by certain things that go on among spirits. Those of them who attribute everything to fortune and their own prudence and nothing to the Divine, as they did in the world, know how to employ various methods to imitate Divine things. They can produce palaces almost like those in the heavens; they can produce views containing plantations of trees and open countryside very similar to those the Lord provides for good spirits; they can adorn themselves with brilliant garments, indeed sirens can make themselves appear in almost angelic beauty. But all this is the product of a cunning that involves the use of delusions. Yet all those things which they can do, however much they may seem to outward appearance to be similar, are inwardly foul. This is also revealed instantly by the Lord to good spirits, for unless it were revealed they would be led astray. The outward appearance is taken away, and when this has been taken away the devilish interior is exposed. It is taken away by the shedding of light from heaven, which disperses the feeble light that accompanies delusions and that those spirits rely on to produce such imitations. From all this one may recognize what the imitation of Divine things that is a product of [human] cunning is like. But things done in reliance on the Lord are inwardly heavenly; and the more interior they are, the more heavenly they are; for Divine things increase in perfection the more and more internal they are, so much so that finally they possess perfection and beauty that are beyond description.

[2] The situation is similar with the imitation of what is good and true by those who lead an evil life. Those of them who know how to make a pretence of good affections and of some form of charity towards the neighbour and love to God, and together with those affections talk about and proclaim the truths of faith seemingly from the heart, dwell in a similar feeble and delusive light. When therefore the outward appearance which makes a pretence of those inner things is taken away, the hellish nature lying within, which is nothing but evil and the falsity of evil, is revealed. And at the same time the fact that such evil constitutes their love, and the falsity of that evil their faith, is in like manner presented to view. From all this it is again evident what imitating Divine things by means of human endeavour is, dealt with above in 10284.

10284. 'And as to the composition of it, you shall not make any other like it' means no imitations produced by human endeavour. This is clear from the meaning of 'as to the composition, making some like it' - that is, making a similar oil with similar spices - as making a preparation in imitation of it by means of human endeavour. This meaning of these words follows from the train of thought in the internal sense; for first it says, 'It shall not be poured onto the flesh of a person', which means no imparting [of what is the Lord's] to a person's proprium or self, and finally, 'it shall be holy to you'. But anything done by a person, by his own endeavour, begins in his proprium or self and is unholy. The reason is that any endeavour a person makes from his proprium consists entirely of falsity arising from evil, since it has self and the world, not the neighbour and God, as its end in view, which also explains why it is called an imitation.

[2] The implications of all this are that everything which comes from the Lord is good and true; but anything good or true produced by man in imitation of it is neither good nor true. The reason for this is that everything good and true has life within it by virtue of the end in view. An end that begins in man is entirely selfish; but that which is good and true, coming from the Lord, exists for the sake of goodness and truth themselves as ends in view, and so for the Lord's sake, because the Lord is the source of everything good and true. With man the end in view is himself, since it constitutes his will and his love; for what a person loves and wills he has as his end in view. All the love in a person that originates in himself is self-love and a selfish love of the world; but the love in a person that originates in the Lord is love towards the neighbour and love to God. The difference between the two kinds of love is as great as that between hell and heaven. Furthermore self-love and a selfish love of the world reign in hell and constitute hell, whereas love towards the neighbour and love to the Lord reign in heaven and constitute heaven. Also a person's character is such and remains forever such as his love is; for love composes the whole of a person's will, and consequently of his understanding since the love that constitutes the will flows unceasingly into the understanding, kindling it and illuminating it. So it is that when those who love evil think within themselves, their thoughts consist of falsity that is in keeping with the evil they love, though they are moved by hypocrisy to express different ideas to others; some are moved by faith that is no more than persuasion, for the nature of which, see 9364, 9369.

[3] It should be recognized that by his own endeavour a person is able to simulate what is actually Divine and to present himself before others as an angel of light. But what is seen by the Lord and by angels is not the outward form he presents but the form that exists inwardly, which is foul when the proprium is the source of it. With people like this everything within them is merely natural and not at all spiritual. They see everything in natural light alone and nothing in the light of heaven; indeed they do not know what the light of heaven is, nor what anything spiritual is. All their inner powers are turned to things of an external nature, in almost the same way as those of living creatures are; nor do they allow themselves to be raised by the Lord to anything higher. Yet the human being, superior to animals, has a special ability, namely the ability to be raised by the Lord towards heaven and the Lord, and so be led by Him. All those are raised in this manner who love goodness and truth for their own sake, which is the same thing as loving the neighbour and God since in a general sense the neighbour means that which is good and true, and in a lower sense that which is right and fair; and also God constitutes what is good and true, and what is right and fair, since God is the source of them.

[4] From all this it may be seen what imitating Divine things by human endeavour is. In places throughout the Word 'Egypt' and 'Pharaoh' are used to describe people such as this; for factual knowledge belonging to the natural man is meant by 'Egypt' and 'Pharaoh'. 'Asshur' too, meaning reasoning based on factual knowledge, is used to describe them. Regarding 'Egypt', see in the places referred to in 9340, 9391; and regarding 'Asshur', 1186. Among spirits there are very many who by their own endeavour and cunning can imitate what is Divine; for they counterfeit sincerity, uprightness, and godliness, so cunningly that good spirits would be led astray unless the Lord enlightened them and enabled them to see what the interiors of those other spirits are like. And when these interiors are revealed the good spirits are filled with horror and run away. But such spirits are stripped of their outward pretences and brought into a state in which their devilish interiors are laid bare; and in this condition they sink automatically into hell. For more about these spirits, see paragraph 10286 below.
