1 И вотъ, что ты долженъ сдјлать надъ ними, дабы посвятить ихъ во священники Мнј: возьми одного тельца изъ воловъ, и двухъ овновъ, безъ порока,

2 и хлјбовъ прјсныхъ, и прјсныхъ лепешекъ, смјшениыхъ съ елеемъ, и блиновъ прјсныхъ помазанныхъ елеемъ; изъ муки пшеничной сдјлай ихъ.

3 И положи ихъ въ одну корзину, и принеси ихъ въ корзинј, и тельца, и двухъ овновъ.

4 Аарона же и сыновъ его поставь у дверей скиніи собранія, и омой ихъ водою.

5 И возьми одежды, и облеки Аарона въ хитонъ и въ верхнюю ризу, и въ ефодъ, и въ наперсникъ, и опояшь его поясомъ ефода.

6 И возложи ему на голову кидаръ, а на кидаръ укрјпи діадиму святыни.

7 И возми елей помазанія, и возлей ему на голову, и помажь его.

8 И приведи также сыновъ его, и облеки ихъ въ хитоны.

9 И опояшь ихъ поясомъ, Аарона и сыновъ его, и возложи на нихъ шапки, и будетъ имъ принадлежать священство по уставу вјчно; и наполни руки Аарона и руки сыновъ его.

10 И вели привести тельца предъ скинію собранія; и пусть возложитъ Ааронъ и сыны его руки свои на голову тельца.

11 И заколи тельца предъ лицемъ Іеговы, у дверей скиніи собранія.

12 Возми крови тельца, и возложи перстомъ твоимъ на роги жертвенника; а всю кровь вылей у основанія жертвенника.

13 Возми тукъ, покрывающій внутренности, и перепонку съ печени, и обј почки и тукъ, который на нихъ, и воскури на жертвенникј.

14 А мясо телъца и кожу его и нечистоты его сожги на огнј внј стана. Это жертва за грјхъ.

15 Потомъ возми одного овна, и пусть возложатъ Ааронъ и сыны его руки свои на голову овна.

16 И заколи овна, и взявъ крови его, покропи на жертвенникъ со всјхъ сторонъ.

17 Разсјки овна на части, вымой внутренности его и голјни его, и положи на разсјченыя части его и на голову его.

18 И сожги всего овна на жертвенникј. Это всесожженіе, благоуханіе успокоенія; это жертва Іеговј.

19 И возми другаго овна, и пусть возложатъ Ааронъ и сыны его руки свои на голову овна.

20 Заколи овна, и взявъ крови его, возложи на край уха Ааронова, и на край праваго уха сыновъ его и на большой палецъ правой руки ихъ, и на большой палецъ правой ноги ихъ; и покропи кровію на жертвенникъ со всјхъ сторонъ.

21 Возми крови, которая на жертвенникј, и елея помазанія, и покропи Аарона и одежды его, и сыновъ его, и одежды сыновъ его съ нимъ: такимъ образомъ будутъ освящены, онъ и одежды его, и сыны его и одежды ихъ съ нимъ.

22 Возми отъ овна тукъ, и курдюкъ, и тукъ, покрывающій внутренности, и перепонку съ печени, и обј почки, и тукъ, который на нихъ, и правое плечо, (потому что это овенъ для наполненія рукъ),

23 и одинъ круглый хлјбъ, и одну лепешку на елеј, и одинъ блинъ, изъ корзины съ опрјсноками, которая предъ Іеговою.

24 И положи все на руки Аарону и на руки сынамъ его, и принесите это потрясая предъ лицемъ Іеговы.

25 И возми это съ рукъ ихъ, и сожги на жертвенникј со всесоженіемъ, въ благоуханіе успокоенія предъ Іеговою; это жертва Іеговј.

26 Также отъ овна наполненія рукъ, который за Аарона, возми грудь, и принеси ее потрясая предъ лицемъ Іеговы: и это будетъ твоя доля.

27 И освяти грудь приношенія, которая потрясаема была, и плечо возношенія, которое было возносимо отъ овна наполненія рукъ, который за Аарона и который за сыновъ его.

28 Сіе предоставляется Аарону и сынамъ его въ участокъ вјчный отъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ; ибо это возношеніе должно быть отъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ при благодарственныхъ жертвахъ ихъ, возношеніе ихъ Іеговј.

29 А священное облаченіе Аароново послј него перейдетъ къ сынамъ его, чтобы въ немъ помазывать ихъ и наполнять руки ихъ.

30 Семь дней долженъ облачаться въ него священникъ, изъ сыновъ его, заступающій его мјсто, который будетъ входить въ скинію собранія для служенія во святилищј.

31 Овна же наполненія рукъ возми, и свари мясо его на мјстј святомъ.

32 И пусть съјдятъ Ааронъ и сыны его мясо овна сего, также и хлјбъ изъ корзины у дверей скиніи собранія.

33 Пусть съјдятъ сіе тј, надъ которыми совершено очищеніе для наполненія рукъ ихъ и для посвященія ихъ; а посторонній не долженъ јсть сего, ибо это святыня.

34 Если останется мяса наполненія рукъ и хлјба до утра; то сожги остатки на огнј: не должно јсть сею; ибо это святыня.

35 Такъ поступи съ Аарономъ и съ сынами его во всемъ, какъ Я повелјлъ тебј; семь дней наполняй руки ихъ.

36 И тельца за грјхъ приноси каждый день для очищенія, и жертву за грјхи совершай на жертвенникј, для очищенія его, и помажь его для освященія его.

37 Семь дней очищай жертвеиникъ; и освяти его, и будетъ жертвенникъ святыня великая; все прикасающееся къ жертвеннику будетъ свято.

38 Вотъ что будешь ты приносить на жертвенникј: два агнца однолјтнихъ на день непрерывно.

39 Одного агнца приноси поутру, а другаго агнца приноси подъ вечеръ.

40 И десятую часть ефы пшеничной муки, смјшанной съ четвертью гина битаго елея, а для возліянія четверть гина вина съ однимъ агнцемъ.

41 Другаго овна приноси подъ вечеръ, съ приношеніемъ, подобнымъ утреннему, и съ такимъ же возліяніемъ, въ благоуханіе успокоенія. Это жертва Іеговј.

42 Это всесожженіе непрерывное въ роды ваши предъ дверьми скиніи собранія предъ Іеговою, гдј буду открываться вамъ, чтобы говорить съ тобою.

43 Тамъ буду открываться сынамъ Израилевымъ, и освятится мјсто сіе славою Моею.

44 И освящу скинію собранія и жертвенникъ: также Аарона и сыновъ его освящу, дабы они священнодјйствовали Мнј.

45 И буду обитать среди сыновъ Израилевыхъ, и буду имъ Богомъ.

46 И узнаютъ, что Я Іегова, Богъ ихъ, Который вывелъ ихъ изъ земли Египетской, чтобы Мнј обитать среди ихъ. Я Іегова, Богъ ихъ.

10262. 'A hin' means how far things are joined together. This is clear from the meaning of 'a hin' - which was a liquid measure, at this point a measure of oil - as the extent to which things are joined together. 'Oil' means the Lord's celestial Divine Good, which is the essential power that binds all things together in heaven; consequently the measure of the oil means how far things are joined together, and the fullness of their being joined together. The reason why the Lord's celestial Divine Good is the essential power that binds all things together is that it is the essential being (ipsum esse) of the life that all things have. For that Divine Good imparts life to all things through the Divine Truth emanating from itself; and it imparts life in accordance with the specific character of whatever receives it. Angels are recipients; so too are people in the world. The truths and forms of good they have form their specific character, and this conditions the reception that takes place within them, and so conditions any joining together.

[2] Two measures which were used for sacred purposes are mentioned in the Word; one was for liquids, which was called the hin, the other was for dry substances, which was called the ephah. The hin served to measure oil and wine, and the ephah to measure flour and fine flour. The hin, used for oil and wine, was divided into four, whereas the ephah was divided into ten. The reason why the hin was divided into four was in order that it might mean that which binds things together; for 'four' means a joining together. But the reason why the ephah was divided into ten was in order that it might mean reception, the nature of which was indicated by the numbers; for 'ten' means much, all, and what is complete.

'Four' means a joining together, see 8877, 9601, 9674, 10136, 10137.

'Ten' means much, all, and what is complete, as 'a hundred' does, 1988, 3107, 4400, 4638, 8468, 8540, 9745, 10253.

[3] The fact that the hin was used for the oil and wine in the sacrifices, and was divided into four, whereas the ephah was used for the flour and fine flour, which were for the minchah in the sacrifices, and that it was divided into ten, becomes clear in Exodus 29:40; Leviticus 5:11; 23:13; Numbers 15:3-10; 28:5, 7, 14. From these verses it is evident that 'a hin' means the extent to which things are joined together, and 'an ephah' the amount of reception. Furthermore the oil served to bind the fine flour together, and the fine flour to receive the oil; for a minchah consisted of oil and fine flour.

[4] In addition there were other measures that were used for ordinary purposes, both for dry substances and for liquids. The measures for dry substances were called the homer and the omer, and the measures for liquids the cor and the bath. A homer contained ten ephahs, and an ephah ten omers, whereas a cor contained ten baths, and a bath ten smaller parts; regarding all these, see Exodus 16:36; Ezekiel 45:11, 13, 24.

[5] But where the new temple is dealt with in Ezekiel a different division of the ephah and the bath occurs. There the ephah and the bath are divided not into ten but into six, and the hin corresponds to the ephah, as is evident in the same prophet, in Ezekiel 45:13-14, 24; 46:5, 7, 11, 14. The reason for this is that in those places the subject is not celestial good and its ability to bind things together, but spiritual good and its ability to do so; and the numbers 'twelve', 'six', and 'three' have their correspondence in the spiritual kingdom, because they mean all and, when used in reference to truths and forms of good, mean all aspects of truth and good in their entirety. The fact that these are meant by 'twelve', see 3272, 3858, 3913, 7973, also by 'six', 3960(end), 7973, 8148, 10217; and in like manner 'three', by which from beginning to end, thus what is complete, is meant, and - in respect of real things - all, 2788, 4495, 5159, 7715, 9825, 10127. The reason why these numbers imply similar things is that larger numbers are similar in meaning to the simple ones which when multiplied produce them, 5291, 5335, 5708, 7973.

[6] Since 'a hin' also means how far something is joined to spiritual truth, a third part of a hin of oil was taken for the minchah in the sacrifices of a ram, and a third part of wine for the drink offering, Numbers 15:6-7; for spiritual good is meant by 'a ram', 2830, 9991. From all this it is again plainly evident that numbers are used in the Word to mean real things. What other reason could there be for the numbers used so often in Moses, Ezekiel, and elsewhere to specify amounts and measures?

4495. 'It happened on the third day' means that which is continuous even to the end. This is clear from the meaning of 'the third day' as that which is complete from beginning to end, dealt with in 2788, and so also as that which is continuous. People who suppose that the historical events described in the Word are no more than the facts of earthly history and are holy only because they appear in a sacred book are scarcely able to believe that 'the third day' has that meaning. But, as shown in preceding explanations, it is not only the actual historical narratives that include spiritual and celestial things which are not plainly visible in the letter, but also every word and every number too. The truth of this will in the Lord's Divine mercy be seen far more clearly in the prophetical sections which in the sense of the letter do not hold the mind to the sequence of events in the way that the historical sections do. But anyone who looks carefully into the interior contents of the Word comes to see that the number three, like the number seven, and also the number twelve, holds some arcanum. And if these numbers hold such it follows that every other number in the Word holds the same, for the Word is holy in every part.

[2] Sometimes, when I have been talking to angels, I have seen in front of me what looked like numbers written, as if on a sheet of paper, in broad daylight, and I have realized that the spiritual entities about which the angels spoke pass into numbers like these. From this experience I have also been given to know that each number in the Word contains some arcanum. This may be seen plainly from the following in John,

He measured the wall of the holy Jerusalem, a hundred and forty-four cubits, which is the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. Revelation 21:17.

And elsewhere,

Let him who has intelligence reckon the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, that is, its number is six hundred and sixty-six. Revelation 13:18.

It is evident that the first of these numbers, namely a hundred and forty-four, is the product of twelve times twelve, and that the number six hundred and sixty-six is a product of that involving three or six; but what degree of holiness is implied by them may be seen from the holiness associated with the number twelve, concerning which number see 577, 2089, 2129 (end), 2130 (end), 3272, 3858, 3913; and concerning the holiness associated with the number three, 720, 901, 1825, 2788, 4010.

[3] Because the number three meant that which is complete even to the end, and so an entire period, whether long or short, it was therefore adopted in the representative Church and used whenever such a meaning needed to be conveyed. It is also used in the same way in the Word, in which every detail carries a spiritual meaning, as may be seen from the following places:

They were to go a three days' journey and to offer sacrifice. Exodus 3:18; 5:3.

They were to be ready on the third day, for on the third day Jehovah would come down onto Mount Sinai. Exodus 19:11, 15-16, 18.

Nothing from the flesh of a sacrifice was to be left until the third day. Leviticus 7:16-18; 19:6-7.

The water of separation was to be sprinkled over the unclean person on the third day and on the seventh day. Numbers 19:11-end.

Those who touched one killed in war were to be cleansed on the third day and on the seventh day. Numbers 31:19-25.

[4] Joshua commanded the people that within three days they would be crossing the Jordan. Joshua 1:11; 3:2.

Jehovah called Samuel three times, and three times Samuel ran to Eli and the third time Eli understood that Jehovah was calling Samuel. 1 Samuel 3:1-8.

Jonathan told David to hide in the field until the third evening. And Jonathan sent to him on the third day from then, and revealed his father's intention. Jonathan at that point fired three arrows to the side of the stone. And after that David bowed down to the ground three times before Jonathan. 1 Samuel 20:5, 12, 19-20, 35-36, 41.

Three things were set before David, of which he was to choose one - either the coming of famine for seven years, or his fleeing before his enemies for three months, or the existence of pestilence in the land for three days. 2 Samuel 24:11-13.

[5] Rehoboam told the assembly of Israel which asked for relief from his father's yoke that they should go away for three days and then return And they came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king said, Return to me on the third day. 1 Kings 12:5, 12.

Elijah stretched himself over the widow's son three times. 1 Kings 17:21.

Elijah told them to pour water over the burnt offering and the wood a third time and they did so a third time. 1 Kings 18:34.

Jonah was in the stomach of the monster for three days and three nights Jonah 1:17; Matthew 12:40.

The Lord talked of someone who planted a vineyard and sent servants three times, and after that his son. Mark 12:2, 4-6, Luke 20:12-13.

Of Peter, He said that he was to deny Him three times. Matthew 26:34, John 13:38.

He said to Peter three times, Do you love Me? John 21:15-17.

[6] From these and many other places in the Word it becomes clear that the number three holds an arcanum within it, and that for this reason this number was adopted within the ancient Churches as a meaningful sign. It is evident that it means the entire period of a Church and of things within a Church, whether long or short, and therefore that which is complete and also that which is continuous even to the end, as is plain in Hosea,

Jehovah will revive us after two days, on the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live before Him. Hosea 6:2.
