1 Kaj jen estas tio, kion vi devas fari al ili, por sanktigi ilin, ke ili estu pastroj al Mi:prenu unu virbovidon kaj du virsxafojn sendifektajn;

2 kaj macan panon, kaj macajn kukojn, miksitajn kun oleo, kaj macajn flanojn, sxmiritajn per oleo; el delikata tritika faruno faru ilin.

3 Kaj metu ilin en unu korbon, kaj venigu ilin en la korbo, kaj ankaux la bovidon kaj la du virsxafojn.

4 Kaj Aaronon kaj liajn filojn alvenigu al la pordo de la tabernaklo de kunveno, kaj lavu ilin per akvo.

5 Kaj prenu la vestojn, kaj metu sur Aaronon la hxitonon kaj la tunikon de la efodo kaj la efodon kaj la surbrustajxon, kaj zonu lin per la zono de la efodo.

6 Kaj metu la cidaron sur lian kapon, kaj metu la sanktan kronon sur la cidaron.

7 Kaj prenu la oleon de sanktoleado, kaj versxu sur lian kapon kaj sanktoleu lin.

8 Kaj liajn filojn alvenigu, kaj vestu ilin per la hxitonoj.

9 Kaj zonu ilin per zono, Aaronon kaj liajn filojn, kaj alligu sur ili mitrojn, por ke al ili apartenu la pastreco laux eterna legxo; kaj konsekru Aaronon kaj liajn filojn.

10 Kaj alvenigu la bovidon antaux la tabernaklon de kunveno, kaj Aaron kaj liaj filoj metu siajn manojn sur la kapon de la bovido.

11 Kaj bucxu la bovidon antaux la Eternulo, cxe la pordo de la tabernaklo de kunveno.

12 Kaj prenu iom el la sango de la bovido kaj metu per viaj fingroj sur la kornojn de la altaro, kaj la tutan ceteran sangon elversxu cxe la bazo de la altaro.

13 Kaj prenu la tutan sebon, kiu kovras la internajxon, kaj la reton de la hepato, kaj la du renojn, kaj la sebon, kiu estas sur ili, kaj incense bruligu ilin sur la altaro.

14 Kaj la karnon de la bovido kaj gxian felon kaj gxian malpurajxon forbruligu per fajro ekster la tendaro; gxi estas pekofero.

15 Kaj unu virsxafon prenu, kaj Aaron kaj liaj filoj metu siajn manojn sur la kapon de la virsxafo.

16 Kaj bucxu la virsxafon, kaj prenu gxian sangon kaj aspergu la altaron cxirkauxe.

17 Kaj la virsxafon dishaku en partojn, kaj lavu gxian internajxon kaj gxiajn krurojn, kaj metu ilin sur gxiajn partojn kaj sur gxian kapon.

18 Kaj forbruligu la tutan virsxafon sur la altaro; gxi estas brulofero por la Eternulo; agrabla odorajxo, fajrofero por la Eternulo gxi estas.

19 Kaj prenu la duan virsxafon, kaj Aaron kaj liaj filoj metu siajn manojn sur la kapon de la virsxafo.

20 Kaj bucxu la virsxafon, kaj prenu iom el gxia sango kaj metu sur la malsupran randon de la dekstra orelo de Aaron kaj sur la malsupran randon de la dekstra orelo de liaj filoj kaj sur la dikan fingron de ilia dekstra mano kaj sur la dikan fingron de ilia dekstra piedo; kaj aspergu per la sango la altaron cxirkauxe.

21 Kaj prenu el la sango, kiu estos sur la altaro, kaj sanktan oleon, kaj aspergu Aaronon kaj liajn vestojn kaj liajn filojn kaj la vestojn de liaj filoj kune kun li; kaj sanktigxos li kaj liaj vestoj kaj liaj filoj kaj la vestoj de liaj filoj kune kun li.

22 Kaj prenu de la virsxafo la sebon kaj la voston, kaj la sebon, kiu kovras la internajxon, kaj la reton de la hepato, kaj la du renojn, kaj la sebon, kiu estas sur ili, kaj la dekstran femuron, cxar tio estas virsxafo de konsekrado;

23 kaj unu bulon da pano kaj unu kukon kun oleo kaj unu flanon, el la korbo kun macoj, kiu staras antaux la Eternulo;

24 kaj metu cxion sur la manojn de Aaron kaj sur la manojn de liaj filoj, kaj skuu tion kiel skuoferon antaux la Eternulo.

25 Kaj prenu tion el iliaj manoj, kaj forbruligu gxin sur la altaro kune kun la brulofero, kiel agrablan odorajxon antaux la Eternulo; gxi estas fajrofero por la Eternulo.

26 Kaj prenu la brustajxon de la virsxafo de konsekrado de Aaron, kaj skuu gxin kiel skuoferon antaux la Eternulo; kaj tio estos via parto.

27 Kaj sanktigu la brustajxon de skuado kaj la femuron de levado, kiuj estis skuitaj kaj levitaj el la virsxafo de konsekrado de Aaron kaj de liaj filoj;

28 kaj tio estu por Aaron kaj por liaj filoj porcxiama destinitajxo de la Izraelidoj; cxar gxi estas levofero, kaj levofero gxi estu de la Izraelidoj, el iliaj pacoferoj ilia levofero al la Eternulo.

29 Kaj la sanktaj vestoj de Aaron estu por liaj filoj post li, por ke ili estu sanktoleataj en ili kaj por ke ili estu konsekrataj en ili.

30 Dum sep tagoj portu ilin sur si tiu el liaj filoj, kiu estos pastro anstataux li, kaj kiu venos en la tabernaklon de kunveno, por servi en la sanktejo.

31 Kaj la virsxafon de konsekrado prenu, kaj kuiru gxian viandon sur sankta loko.

32 Kaj Aaron kaj liaj filoj mangxu la viandon de la virsxafo, kaj la panon, kiu estas en la korbo, cxe la pordo de la tabernaklo de kunveno.

33 Kaj ili tion mangxu, cxar per tio ili purigxis, por ke ili estu konsekritaj kaj por ke ili estu sanktigitaj. Laiko tion ne mangxu, cxar tio estas sankta.

34 Se el la viando de konsekrado kaj el la pano restos iom gxis la mateno, tiam forbruligu la restajxon per fajro; gxi ne estu mangxata, cxar gxi estas sankta.

35 Kaj agu kun Aaron kaj kun liaj filoj tiel, kiel Mi cxion ordonis al vi; dum sep tagoj konsekru ilin.

36 Kaj propekan bovidon oferu cxiutage por senpekigxo; kaj senpekigu la altaron, oferante sur gxi, kaj oleu gxin, por gxin sanktigi.

37 Dum sep tagoj senpekigu la altaron kaj sanktigu gxin; kaj la altaro farigxu plejsanktajxo; cxio, kio ektusxos la altaron, farigxos sankta.

38 Jen tio, kion vi metos sur la altaron:du jaragxajn sxafidojn cxiutage, cxiam;

39 unu sxafidon oferu matene, kaj la duan sxafidon oferu cxirkaux la vespero;

40 kaj por unu sxafido dekonon de efo da delikata faruno, miksita kun kvarono de hino da elpistita oleo, kaj kvaronon de hino da vino por versxoferi.

41 La duan sxafidon oferu cxirkaux la vespero; faru kun gxi kiel kun la matena donofero kaj versxofero, ke gxi estu agrabla odorajxo, fajrofero por la Eternulo,

42 cxiama brulofero en viaj generacioj cxe la pordo de la tabernaklo de kunveno antaux la Eternulo, kie Mi aperados antaux vi, por paroli tie kun vi.

43 Kaj Mi aperados tie antaux la Izraelidoj, kaj la loko sanktigxos per Mia gloro.

44 Kaj Mi sanktigos la tabernaklon de kunveno kaj la altaron; kaj Aaronon kaj liajn filojn Mi sanktigos, por ke ili estu Miaj pastroj.

45 Kaj Mi logxos inter la Izraelidoj, kaj Mi estos por ili Dio.

46 Kaj ili sciu, ke Mi estas la Eternulo, ilia Dio, kiu elirigis ilin el la lando Egipta, por ke Mi logxu inter ili, Mi, la Eternulo, ilia Dio.

10153. And I will dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel. That this signifies the presence of the Lord, and His influx, through good in heaven and in the church, is evident from the signification of “dwelling,” when said of the Lord, as being to be present and to flow in; that this is through the Divine good is because “to dwell” is predicated of good (see n. 2268, 2451, 2712, 3613, 8269, 8309), wherefore also it is said, “in the midst,” because by “the midst” is signified the inmost, and the inmost is good (that this is signified by “the midst,” see n. 2940, 5897, 6084, 6103). And from the representation of the sons of Israel, as being the church (see n. 9340).

[2] That by “dwelling in the midst,” when said of the Lord, is signified His presence and influx through Divine good, is because the Lord flows in and is present with a man in the man’s good which he receives from the Lord; for good makes the man himself, because everyone is such as is his good. By good is meant love, for everything that is loved is called good. Everyone who spies out another knows that the love or good makes the man, for when he has spied him out he leads him by his love wherever he wishes, in so much that while he is kept in his love, he is no longer his own master, and then all reasons that are contrary to his love are of no avail, whereas those which agree with the love are of all avail.

[3] That this is the case is also very evident in the other life. There all spirits are known by their loves, and when they are kept in them, they cannot do anything contrary to them, for to act contrary to them is to act contrary to themselves. They are therefore the forms of their loves; they who are in the heavens are forms of charity and of heavenly love, of such beauty as cannot be described; but they who are in the hells are forms of their loves, which are those of self and of the world, consequently they are also forms of hatred and revenge, thus are such monsters as cannot be described.

[4] As therefore the whole man is such as is his love, it is evident that the Lord cannot be present with a man who is in an evil love, but only with a man who is in a good love, thus in his good. It is believed that the Lord is present in the truth which is called the truth of faith, but He is not present in truth without good. But where good is, there the Lord is present in the truth through the good, and He is present in the truth insofar as it leads to good, and as it proceeds from good. Truth without good cannot be said to be within a man, it being merely in his memory as so much memory-knowledge, which does not enter the man and form him until it becomes of the life; and it becomes of the life when he loves it, and from love lives according to it. When this is the case, then the Lord dwells with him, as He Himself also teaches in John:

He that hath My commandments, and doeth them, he it is that loveth Me, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him, and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him (John 14:21, 23);

“to manifest Himself” denotes to enlighten in the truths of faith from the Word; “to come unto him” denotes to be present; and “to make abode with him” denotes to dwell in his good.

5897. To put for you remains in the land. That this signifies the midst and inmost of the church, is evident from the signification of “remains,” as being goods joined to truths stored up within man by the the Lord, (n. 468, 530, 560, 561, 660, 1050, 1906, 2284, 5135, 5342), here in the midst and inmost of the church. It is said “the midst and inmost,” because what is inmost with man does occupy the midst in the natural where inmost and interior things are together. In general, those things which are inmost in those which follow one another in succession, the same are also in the midst or center in those which, from these, are simultaneous, as is the case in the natural; thus do inmost things arrange themselves in the exterior ones. “To put for you remains in the land” implies that the inmost of the church must be with the sons of Jacob; not that they would be in the inmost, but that the representative of the church in all its form might be instituted with them, and that the Word might be there. These things are signified by the “remains” relatively to the church, abstractedly from the nation.

[2] “Remains,” and also “residue,” are occasionally mentioned in the Word, but by both these expressions there have been understood merely the remains and residue of a people or a nation according to the letter; while it has been heretofore quite unknown that in the spiritual sense they signify the goods and truths stored up in the interior man by the Lord; as in the following passages.

In Isaiah:

In that day shall the shoot of Jehovah be for honor and for glory, and the fruit of the earth for magnificence and adornment to them that are escaped of Israel. And it shall come to pass that he that remaineth in Zion, and he that is left [residuus] in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, everyone that is written unto life in Jerusalem (Isaiah 4:2-3);

“they that remained in Zion, and they that were left in Jerusalem” were in no wise made holy nor more than others written unto life; whence it is clear that by “those who remained and who were left” are meant the things that are holy and that are written unto life. These are goods conjoined with truths and stored up in the interior man by the Lord.

[3] In the same:

In that day the remains of Israel, and they that are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more lean on their smiter, but shall lean on Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. The remains shall return, the remains of Jacob, unto the mighty God (Isaiah 10:20-21).

That the “remains” are not the remains of any people or nation may be seen from the fact that in the Word, especially the prophetic Word, by “Israel” was not meant Israel, nor by “Jacob” Jacob, but by both the church and what is of the church. And this being the case, by the “remains” are not meant the remains of Israel and Jacob, but the truths and goods which belong to the church. Yea, neither do the “remains of a people,” and the “residue of a nation” (when it is so said), signify the remains of any people or the residue of any nation, because by “people” in the internal sense are signified truths (n. 1259, 1260, 3295, 3581), and by “nation” goods (n. 1259, 1260, 1416). That it has been unknown, and appears strange, that by “remains” are signified truths and goods, is because the literal sense, especially where it is historical, withdraws and forcibly withholds from thinking things like these.

[4] In the same:

Then there shall be a path for the remains of the people, which shall be left [residuae] from Asshur; as there was for Israel through the sea, when he came up out of the land of Egypt (Isaiah 11:16); where the meaning is similar; “they that are left from Asshur” being those who have not been destroyed through perverse reasonings (that “Asshur” is such reasonings, see n. 1186).

Again:

In that day shall Jehovah Zebaoth be for a crown of ornament, and for a diadem of comeliness, to the remains of His people (Isaiah 28:5).

Again:

Moreover the escape of the house of Judah which is left [residua], shall again take root downward, and yield fruit upward. For out of Jerusalem shall go forth remains, and out of Mount Zion they that escape (Isaiah 37:31-32).

Again:

Butter and honey shall everyone eat that is left [residuus] in the midst of the land (Isaiah 7:22).

In Jeremiah:

I will gather together the remains of My flock out of all the lands whither I have scattered them, and I will bring them back to their fold, that they may bring forth and be multiplied (Jeremiah 23:3).

Again:

The people of those left [residuorum] by the sword found grace in the wilderness in going to give rest to him, to Israel (Jeremiah 31:2);

“the people of those left by the sword in the wilderness” were they who were called “infants,” who the rest being dead, were brought into the land of Canaan. These “infants” were the residue, and by them were signified the goods of innocence, and by their introduction into the land of Canaan was represented admission into the Lord’s kingdom.

[5] In Ezekiel:

I will make a residue, when ye shall have some that escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered in the earth. Then they that escape of you shall remember Me among the nations where they shall be captives (Ezekiel 6:8-9).

The reason why the goods and truths stored up by the Lord in man’s interiors were represented by the “residue and the remains among the nations whither they were scattered and where they were made captives,” is that man is continually among evils and falsities, and is held in captivity by them. Evils and falsities are what are signified by the “nations.” The external man, when separated from the internal, is altogether in these, and therefore unless the Lord were to gather up the goods and truths which as occasion offers are insinuated into a man during the progress of life, the man could not possibly be saved, for without remains there is salvation for none.

[6] In Joel:

It shall come to pass that everyone who shall call on the name of Jehovah shall escape; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as Jehovah hath said, and among the residue whom Jehovah doth call (Joel 2:32).

In Micah:

There shall be remains of Jacob among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, as a lion among the beasts of the forest (Mic. 5:8).

In Zephaniah:

The remains of Israel shall not do perversity, nor speak a lie; neither shall a tongue of deceit be found in their mouth: they shall feed and be at rest, none making afraid (Zeph. 3:13);

in this passage are described remains in respect to their quality, and it is known that this quality never belonged to the people called “Israel.” From this also it is manifest that by “remains” are meant other things; and that these are goods and truths is clear, because these are what do no perversity, nor speak a lie, neither is a tongue of deceit found in their mouth.

[7] In Zechariah:

The streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof; which shall be marvelous in the eyes of the remains of My people: now, not as in former days, am I to the remains of this people, for it is a seed of peace; the vine will yield its fruit, and the earth will yield its increase, and the heavens will yield their dew; and I will make the remains of this people heirs of all these things (Zech. 8:5-6, 11-12).

The remains are here called a “seed of peace,” but it is they who are in truths of good whose fruitfulness is described by “the vine shall yield its fruit, the earth its increase, and the heavens their dew.”

[8] The remains which are meant in the spiritual sense, are closed up by evils of life and by persuasions of falsity, so as no longer to appear; and by the denial of truth which had previously been acknowledged (both of these acts being from affection), they are consumed, for this is the commingling of truth and falsity which is called profanation. Of these things we read in the Word, in Isaiah:

He shall remove man, and the deserts shall be multiplied in the midst of the land: scarcely any longer is there in it a tenth part, and yet it shall be for exterminating (Isaiah 6:12-13).

That “ten” denotes remains, see n. 276, 1906, 2284. Again:

I will kill thy root, and he shall kill them that are left of thee (Isaiah 14:30);

speaking of the Philistines, who are those in the mere knowledge of knowledges, and not in life (n. 1197, 1198, 3412, 3413); those who are left are called a “root,” because from them, as from a root, grow forth goods and truths, which make man to be man. Wherefore “he shall remove man” (as just above in Isaiah) denotes to destroy remains.

[9] In Jeremiah:

The young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine; and there shall be no remains unto them (Jeremiah 11:22-23);

speaking of the men of Anathoth. Again:

I will take the remains of Judah, who have set their faces to come into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, that they be all consumed; and there shall not be an escaper, or one left to the remains of Judah, who have come to dwell in the land of Egypt (Jeremiah 44:12, 14, 28).

The reason why they who were of Judah should not sojourn in Egypt, nor dwell there, and that this was so severely forbidden them, was that the tribe of Judah represented the Lord’s celestial church, and the celestial are utterly unwilling to know about the memory-knowledges which are signified by “Egypt;” for they know all things from the celestial good in which they are, which good would perish if they were to betake themselves to memory-knowledges. Nay, they who are of the Lord’s celestial kingdom, being in celestial good (and celestial truth being charity, while spiritual truth is faith), are not willing even to mention faith, lest they should “go down” from good and “look backward” (see n. 202, 337, 2715, 3246, 4448). This also is what is meant by the words:

He that is upon the house, let him not go down to take anything out of the house; and he that is in the field, let him not return back to take his garments (Matthew 24:17-18);

see just above (n. 5895); and also by these words:

Remember Lot’s wife (Luke 17:32);

who looked back and became a pillar of salt. (In regard to looking and returning back, see n. 2454, 3652.)

[10] By the nations which were so accursed that there was not even any residue left, was represented that iniquity was so consummated with them that nothing of good and truth survived, thus that there were no remains; as in Moses:

They smote Og the king of Bashan, and all his sons, and all his people, until they left no residue (Numbers 21:35; Deuteronomy 3:3).

Again:

They took all the cities of Sihon, and gave to the curse every city of man, and the women, and the little child; they left no residue (Deuteronomy 2:34).

So in other passages where it is written that they were “given to the curse.”

[11] In regard to remains, or the goods and truths stored up in man’s interiors by the Lord, the case is this. When a man is in good and truth from affection, thus from freedom, then good and truth are implanted. And when this takes place, the angels from heaven approach nearer and conjoin themselves with the man. It is this conjunction which causes the goods with truths to come forth in the man’s interiors. But when a man is in things external, as when he is in worldly and bodily things, then the angels are removed, and when they are removed, then nothing at all of these goods and truths appears. Nevertheless as conjunction has once been effected, the man is in the capacity for conjunction with the angels, thus with the good and truth appertaining to them; but this conjunction does not take place oftener and further than is well-pleasing to the Lord, who disposes these things according to every use of the man’s life.
