1 И говорилъ Господь Моисею и Аарону, и сказалъ:

2 сочти изъ сыновъ Левіи сыновъ Кааѕовыхъ, по племенамъ ихъ, по поколјнію ихъ,

3 отъ тридцати лјтъ и выше до пятидесяти лјтъ, всјхъ вступающихъ въ службу, чтобы отправлять работы въ скиніи собранія.

4 Вотъ служеніе сыновъ Кааѕовыхъ въ скиніи собранія: косить святое святыхъ.

5 Когда стану надобно подняться въ путь, Ааронъ и сыны его войдутъ и снимутъ завјсу, и покроютъ ею ковчегъ откровенія.

6 И положатъ на нее покровъ изъ кожъ синихъ и сверхъ его распрострутъ одежду всю яхонтоваго цвјта, и вложатъ шесты его.

7 И надъ столомъ хлјбовъ предложенія распрострутъ одежду яхонтоваго цвета и положатъ на немъ блюда, ѕиміамники, кружки и чаши возліянія, и хлјбъ всегдашній долженъ быть на немъ.

8 И надъ сими вещами распрострутъ одежду багряную и покроютъ ее покровомъ изъ кожъ синихъ и вложатъ шесты его.

9 Потомъ возьмутъ одежду яхонтоваго цвјта и покроютъ свјтильникъ и лампады его, и щипцы его, и лотки его, и всј сосуды для елея, которые употребляютъ при немъ,

10 и покроютъ его и всј принадлежности его покровомъ изъ кожъ синихъ, и положатъ на носилки.

11 И на жертвенникъ златый распрострутъ одежду яхонтоваго цвјта, и покроютъ его покровомъ изъ кожъ синихъ, и вложатъ шесты его.

12 И возьмутъ всј вещи служебныя, которыя употребляются для служенія во святилищј, и положатъ въ одежду яхонтоваго цвјта и покроютъ ихъ покровомъ изъ кожъ синихъ и положатъ на носилки.

13 И очистятъ жертвенникъ отъ пепла и распрострутъ на немъ одежду пурпуровую.

14 И положатъ на него всј сосуды его, которые употребляются для служенія при немъ, угольницы, вилки, лопатки и чаши, всј сосуды жертвенника, и распрострутъ на немъ покровъ изъ кожъ синихъ, и вложатъ шесты его.

15 Когда при отправленіи въ путь стана Ааронъ и сыны его покроютъ святилище и всј вещи святилища, тогда сыны Кааѕа пойдутъ, чтобы нести; но не должны касаться святилища, чтобы не умереть. Сіи части скиніи собранія должны носить сыны Кааѕовы.

16 Елеазару, сыну Аарона священника, поручается елей для свјтильника и благовонное куреніе, и непрестанное хлјбное приношеніе и елей помазанія, поручается вся скинія и все, что въ ней, и святилище и принадлежности его.

17 И говорилъ Господь Моисею и Аарону, и сказалъ:

18 Не погубите колјна племенъ Кааѕовыхъ между левитами.

19 Но вотъ что сдјлайте имъ, чтобъ они были живы и не умерли, когда приступаютъ къ святому святыхъ. Ааронъ и сыны его пусть придутъ, и поставятъ ихъ каждаго въ служеніи его и у ноши его:

20 но сами они не должны подходить, чтобы не увидјть нечаянно святыни и не умереть.

21 И говорилъ Господь Моисею, и сказалъ:

22 сочти и сыновъ Гирсона по поколјнію ихъ, по племенамъ ихъ,

23 оть тридцати лјтъ и выше до пятидесяти лјтъ, внеси ихъ въ перепись, всјхъ вступающихъ въ службу, чтобъ отправлять работы при скиніи собранія.

24 Вотъ работы племенъ Гирсоновыхъ при ихъ служеніи и ношеніи бременъ:

25 они должны носить покровы скиніи, и скинію собранія, и покровъ ея, и покровъ синій, который поверхъ его, и завјсу дверей скиніи собранія,

26 и завјсы двора, и завјсу вратъ двора, который вокругъ скиніи и жертвенника, и веревки ихъ, и всј вещи, принадлежащія къ нимъ, и все, что дјлается при нихъ, они должны работать.

27 По повелјнію Аарона и сыновъ его производиться должны всј работы сыновъ Гирсоновыхъ при всякомъ ношеніи ихъ и всякой работј ихъ; и поручите въ ихъ охраненіе все, что они носятъ.

28 Вотъ работы племенъ сыновъ Гирсоновыхъ въ скиніи собранія, и вотъ что поручается въ ихъ охраненіе, подъ надзоромъ Иѕамара, сына Аарона, священника.

29 Сыновъ Мерариныхъ по племенамъ ихъ, по поколјнію ихъ, внеси въ перепись.

30 Отъ тридцати лјтъ и выше до пятидесяти лјтъ внеси ихъ въ перепись, всјхъ вступающихъ въ службу, чтобы отправлять работы при скиніи собранія.

31 Вотъ что они должны хранить и носить, что составляетъ всю работу ихъ при скиніи собранія: брусья скиніи и шесты ея, и столпы ея, и подножія ея.

32 И столпы двора со всјхъ сторонъ и подножія ихъ, и колья ихъ, и веревки ихъ, и всј вещи при нихъ и всј принадлежности ихъ; и по именно отдайте имъ вещи для храненія и ношенія.

33 Вотъ работы племенъ сыновъ Мерариныхъ, которыя составляютъ всю работу ихъ при скиніи собранія, подъ надзоромъ Иѕамара, сына Аарона, священника.

34 Такимъ образомъ Моисей и Ааронъ и начальники общества внесли въ перепись сыновъ Кааѕовыхъ по племенамъ ихъ, по поколјнію ихъ,

35 отъ тридцати лјтъ и выше до пятидесяти лјтъ, всјхъ вступающихъ въ службу, чтобъ отправлять работы въ скиніи собранія.

36 И вошло въ перепись изъ нихъ по племенамъ ихъ двј тысячи семь сотъ пятьдесятъ.

37 Сіи суть внесенные въ перепись изъ племенъ Кааѕовыхъ, всј работающіе при скиніи собранія, коихъ внесъ въ перепись Моисей и Ааронъ по повелјнію Господню, данному чрезъ Моисея.

38 И внесены въ перепись сыны Гирсона по племенамъ ихъ, по поколјнію ихъ,

39 отъ тридцати лјтъ и выше до пятидесяти лјтъ, всј вступающіе въ службу, чтобъ отправлять работы въ скиніи собранія.

40 И было внесенныхъ въ перепись по племенамъ ихъ, по поколјнію ихъ, двј тысячи шестьсотъ тридцать.

41 Сіи суть внесенные въ перепись изъ племенъ сыновъ Гирсона, всј работающіе при скиніи собранія, коихъ внесъ въ перепись Моисей и Ааронъ по повелјнію Господню.

42 И внесены въ перепись племена сыновъ Мерариныхъ по племенамъ ихъ, по поколјнію ихъ,

43 оть тридцати лјтъ и выше до пятидесяти лјтъ, всј вступающіе въ службу, чтобы работать при скиніи собранія.

44 И было внесенныхъ въ перепись по племенамъ ихъ три тысячи двјсти.

45 Сіи суть внесенные въ перепись изъ племенъ сыновъ Мерариныхъ, коихъ внесъ въ перепись Моисей и Ааронъ по повелјнію Господню чрезъ Моисея.

46 И внесены въ перепись всј левиты, которыхъ внесъ въ перепись Моисей и Ааронъ и начальники Израиля, по племенамъ ихъ, по поколјнію ихъ.

47 Отъ тридцати лјтъ и выше до пятидесяти лјтъ, всј вступающіе въ службу для отправленія работъ и ношенія въ скиніи собранія.

48 И оказалось внесенныхъ въ перепись восемь тысячь пятьсотъ восемьдесятъ.

49 По повелјнію Господню внесли ихъ въ перепись подъ надзоромъ Моисея, для назначенія каждаго къ работј его и ношенію: и внесены они въ перепись, какъ повелјлъ Господь Моисею.

64. Clothed with a garment down to the foot, signifies Divine truth proceeding from Him. This is evident from the signification of "garments" as being truths that clothe good (See Arcana Coelestia, n. 1073, 2576, 5248, 5319, 5954, 9212, 9216, 9952, 10536). Here is only mentioned "a garment down to the foot," which is a general covering; by which, as the Lord is treated of, all Divine truth in general is meant. Since the Lord is here described in respect to the Divine Human, which is here the "Son of man seen in the midst of the lampstands," and it is said that He was "clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about at the paps with a golden girdle," and afterwards that "His face shone as the sun in his power," I wish to give an explanation of what is said in the Evangelists about the Lord when He was transfigured, where some similar expressions are used; and afterwards of what is said about the soldiers dividing His garments, and casting the lot upon His tunic.

[2] Of the Lord's transfiguration it is thus written:

Jesus took Peter, James, and John, into a very high mountain, and He was transfigured before them; and His face did shine as the sun, and His garments became white as the light. And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah speaking with Him. And behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him (Matthew 17:1-5; Mark 9:2-8; Luke 9:28-36).

The Lord took Peter, James, and John, because by them the church in respect to faith, charity, and the works of charity was represented; He took them "into a high mountain," because "mountain" signifies heaven; "His face did shine as the sun," because "face" signifies the interiors, and it did shine as the sun because His interiors were Divine, for the "sun" is Divine love; "His garments became white as the light," because "garments" signify Divine truth proceeding from Him; the like is signified by "light." "Moses and Elijah" appeared, because the two signify the Word, "Moses" the historical Word, and "Elijah" the prophetical Word; "a bright cloud overshadowed them," because "a bright cloud" signifies the Word in the letter within which is the internal sense; "a voice out of the cloud said, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased, hear ye Him," because "a voice out of the cloud" signifies Divine truth out of the Word, and "beloved Son," the Lord's Divine Human. And because Divine truth is from Him, and thence all truth of the church, it was said out of the cloud, "in whom I am well pleased, hear ye Him."

[3] It was plainly the Divine Human of the Lord that was thus seen, for the Divine Itself cannot be seen by anyone, except through the Divine Human. This the Lord also teaches in John:

No man hath seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath brought Him forth to view (John 1:18).

And in another place:

Ye have neither heard the voice of the Father at any time, nor seen His shape (John 5:37).

(That such things are signified by these words in the Evangelists, can be seen in the Arcana Coelestia where the particulars are made known, namely, that by "Peter," "James," and "John," in the Word, are signified faith, charity, and the works of charity, n. 3750, and above, n. 8-9; by "high mountain" is signified heaven, n. 8327, 8805, 9420, 9422, 9434, 10608; by "face," the interiors which are of the mind, n. 1999, 2434, 3527, 4066, 4796, 5102, 9306, 9546; and by "the face of the Lord," mercy, peace, and every good, n. 222-223, 5585, 9306, 9546, 9888; by "the sun," Divine Love, n. 2495, 4060, 7083; and in the work on Heaven and Hell 116-125; by "garments," when the Lord is treated of, Divine truth, n. 9212, 9216; and the like by "light," n. 3195, 3222, 5400, 8644, 9399, 9548, 9684; and in the work on Heaven and Hell, n. 126-140. That "Moses and Elias" signify the Word; "Moses," see Arcana Coelestia 5922, 6723, 6752, 6771, 6827, 7010, 7014, 7089, 7382, 9372, 10234; and "Elias," see n. 2762, 5247. That "clouds" signify the Word in the letter, see above, n. 36; that "beloved Son" is the Divine Human of the Lord is evident.) From the fact that the "Lord's garments" signify Divine truth, it may be known what is signified by the soldiers dividing the garments of the Lord among them, and casting a lot upon His tunic, of which it is thus written in John:

The soldiers took His garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part, also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top throughout. They said therefore one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for whose it shall be; that the Scripture might be fulfilled which saith, They parted My garments among them, and upon My vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did (John 19:23-24).

[4] He who is not aware that in every particular of the Word there is an internal sense which is spiritual, cannot see any arcanum in these things; he knows only that the soldiers divided the garments and not the tunic; and beyond this he knows nothing; when not only in this fact is there a Divine arcanum, but also in every particular of what is recorded concerning the passion of the Lord. The arcanum in this fact is that the garments of the Lord signified Divine truth, thus the Word, because the Word is Divine truth; the "garments" that they divided, the Word in the letter, and the "tunic" the Word in the internal sense; to "divide them" signifies to disperse and falsify; and "the soldiers" signify those that are of the church, who should fight in behalf of Divine truth. This is why it is said, "These things therefore the soldiers did." From this it is clear that the meaning of these words in the spiritual sense is that the Jewish Church dispersed the Divine truth which is in the sense of the letter, but could not disperse the Divine truth which is in the internal sense. That the "garments of the Lord" signified Divine truth, thus the Word, was shown above; that His "tunic" signified Divine truth, or the Word, in the internal sense, see Arcana Coelestia n.9826, 9942; that to "divide" is to disperse and separate from good and truth, thus to falsify, see n. 4424, 6360, 6361, 9094; that "the soldiers" signify those that are of the church, here of the Jewish church, who should fight in behalf of Divine truth, is clear from the spiritual sense of "warfare" and of "war;" that "war" signifies spiritual combats, which are of truth against falsity, see n. 1659, 1664, 8295, 10455; it is therefore said of the Levites, whose function pertained to such things as are of the church, that they were discharging military duty and were serving in war, when they were exercising their ministry in the tent of the assembly (Numbers 4:23, 35, 39, 43, 47; 8:23, 24).

2813. 'He bound Isaac his son' means the state of the Divine rational which, in this condition as regards truth, was about to undergo the last degrees of temptation. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'binding', and also of 'Isaac his son' - of 'binding' as the assuming of a state for undergoing the last degrees of temptation, as may become clear from the consideration that anyone in a state of temptation is altogether like one who has been bound or fettered; and from the meaning of 'Isaac his son' as the Lord's Divine Rational, here as regards truth, see 2802, 2803. The whole genuine rational part of the mind consists of good and of truth. The Lord's Divine Rational as regards good could not suffer, nor undergo temptations, for no genius or spirit initiating temptations is able to get near Divine good, as this stands above their every endeavour to tempt. But Divine truth once it had been bound was that which could be tempted, for illusions, and still more falsities, are what invade it and so tempt it. Indeed some idea of Divine truth can be formed, but not of Divine good except by beings who have perception and are celestial angels. It was Divine truth that people no longer acknowledged at the time of the Lord's Coming into the world, and therefore it was Divine truth from which the Lord underwent and suffered temptations. Divine truth within the Lord is that which is called the Son of Man, whereas Divine good within Him is that which is called the Son of God. Speaking of the Son of Man the Lord many times says that He is to suffer, but He never says this when He refers to the Son of God. The fact that He speaks of the Son of Man, or Divine truth, having to suffer, is clear in Matthew,

Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn Him and deliver Him to the gentiles to mock and scourge Him, and to crucify [Him]. Matthew 20:18-19.

In the same gospel,

Jesus said to His disciples, Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of sinners. Matthew 26:45.

In Mark,

Jesus began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, but after three days rise again. Mark 8:31.

In the same gospel,

It is written of the Son of Man that He will suffer many things and be treated with contempt. And the Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men who will kill Him; but when He has been killed He will rise again on the third day. Mark 9:12, 31.

In the same gospel,

Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes who will condemn Him to death, and deliver Him to the heathens. They will mock Him, and scourge Him, and spit on Him, and kill Him; but on the third day He will rise again. Mark 10:33-34.

In the same gospel,

The hour has come; behold, the Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of sinners. Mark 14:41.

In Luke,

The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day rise again. Luke 9:22, 44.

In the same gospel,

We are going up to Jerusalem where everything will be accomplished that has been written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man. He will be delivered to the gentiles, and will be mocked, and suffer insults, and be spat upon. And they will scourge and kill Him, but on the third day He will rise again. Luke 18:31-33.

In the same gospel,

The angel said to the women, Remember what He told you while He was still in Galilee, saving that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again. Luke 24:6-7.

[2] In all these places 'the Son of Man' is used to mean the Lord as regards Divine truth - that is, as regards the Word in its internal sense - which was to be rejected by the chief priests and the scribes, suffer insults, be scourged, spat on, and crucified. This is made quite clear by the fact that the Jews took every single thing literally, applying and misappropriating it to themselves, and had no wish to know anything whatever about the spiritual sense of the Word and about a heavenly kingdom. They believed, as they do even today, that when He came the Messiah would raise up their kingdom above all the kingdoms of the earth. From this it is evident that it was Divine truth which was rejected, insulted, scourged, and crucified by them. Whether you speak of Divine truth or of the Lord as regards Divine truth it amounts to the same, for the Lord is Truth itself just as He is the Word itself, 2011, 2016, 2533 (end).

[3] Also implied in the Lord's rising again on the third day is the fact that Divine truth, or the Word as to its internal sense - as it was understood in the Ancient Church - will be brought back to life again at the close of the age, which also is 'the third day', 1825, 2788. And this is the reason why it is said that the Son of Man, that is, Divine truth, will appear at that time, Matthew 24:30, 37, 39, 44; Mark 13:26; Luke 17:22, 24-26, 30; 21:27, 36.

[4] The fact that the Son of Man is the Lord as regards Divine truth is clear from the places quoted already and further still from the following: In Matthew,

He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man; the field is the world. At the close of the age the Son of Man will send His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all offences. Matthew 13:37, 41-42.

Here 'the good seed' means truth, 'the world' men, 'he who sows it' the Son of Man, and 'offences' falsities. In John,

The crowd said, We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains for ever. Why therefore do you say, The Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man? Jesus answered them, The Light is with you for a brief while. Walk, as long as you have the Light, lest the darkness overtakes you, for he who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. As long as you have the Light believe in the Light, that you may be sons of the Light. John 12:34-36.

Here, when the crowd ask, 'Who is the Son of Man?' Jesus speaks in His reply about the Light, which is truth, and says that He Himself is the Light or Truth in which they ought to believe. Regarding the Light which comes from the Lord, and which is Divine Truth, see 1053, 1521, 1529-1531, 1619-1632.

[5] But as for the truth that the Son of God, or the Lord as to the Good within His Divine human, could not be tempted, as stated above, this is evident also from the Lord's reply to the tempter, in the gospels,

The tempter said, If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down, for it is written, He will give His angels charge regarding you, lest you strike your foot against a stone. Jesus said to him, Again it is written, You shall not tempt the Lord your God. Matthew 4:6-7; Luke 4:9-12.
