1 At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, na sinasabi,

2 Iutos mo sa mga anak ni Israel na ilabas sa kampamento ang bawa't may ketong, at bawa't inaagasan, at ang sinomang karumaldumal sa pagkahipo sa patay:

3 Lalake at babae ay kapuwa ninyo ilalabas, sa labas ng kampamento ilalagay ninyo sila; upang huwag nilang ihawa ang kanilang kampamento na aking tinatahanan sa gitna.

4 At ginawang gayon ng mga anak ni Israel, at inilabas sa labas ng kampamento: kung paanong sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises ay gayon ginawa ng mga anak ni Israel.

5 At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, na sinasabi,

6 Salitain mo sa mga anak ni Israel, Pagka ang isang lalake o babae ay nakagawa ng anomang kasalanan na nagagawa ng mga tao, na sumasalangsang laban sa Panginoon at ang gayong tao ay naging salarin;

7 Ay kaniyang isusulit nga ang kaniyang kasalanang nagawa: at kaniyang pagbabayarang lubos ang kaniyang sala, at dadagdagan pa niya ng ikalimang bahagi at ibibigay sa pinagkasalahan.

8 Datapuwa't kung ang lalake ay walang kamaganak na mapagbabayaran ng sala, ay mapapasa saserdote ang kabayaran ng sala na handog sa Panginoon, bukod sa tupang lalaking pinakatubos na ipangtutubos sa kaniya.

9 At ang bawa't handog na itinaas sa lahat ng bagay na banal ng mga anak ni Israel, na kanilang ihaharap sa saserdote ay magiging kaniya.

10 At ang mga bagay na banal ng bawa't lalake ay magiging kaniya: ang ibigay ng sinomang tao sa saserdote ay magiging kaniya.

11 At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, na sinasabi,

12 Salitain mo sa mga anak ni Israel, at sabihin mo sa kanila, Kung ang asawa ng sinomang lalake ay malilisya, at sasalangsang sa kaniya,

13 At ang ibang lalake ay sisiping sa kaniya, at ito'y makukubli sa mga mata ng kaniyang asawa at ang bagay ay malilihim, at ang babae ay madudumhan at walang saksi laban sa kaniya, o hindi man matututop siya sa pagkakasala;

14 At ang diwa ng paninibugho ay sasakaniya, at siya'y maninibugho sa kaniyang asawa at siya'y madudumhan: o kung sasakaniya ang diwa ng paninibugho at siya'y maninibugho sa kaniyang asawa, at ito'y hindi madudumhan:

15 Ay dadalhin nga ng lalake sa saserdote ang kaniyang asawa, at ipagdadala ng alay ng babae ng ikasangpung bahagi ng isang epa ng harina ng sebada: hindi niya bubuhusan ng langis o lalagyan man ng kamangyan; sapagka't handog na harina tungkol sa paninibugho, handog na harinang alaala na nagpapaalaala ng kasalanan.

16 At ilalapit ng saserdote ang babae, at pahaharapin sa Panginoon:

17 At ang saserdote ay kukuha ng banal na tubig sa isang sisidlang lupa: at sa alabok na nasa lapag ng tabernakulo ay dadampot ang saserdote, at ilalagay sa tubig:

18 At pahaharapin ng saserdote ang babae sa Panginoon, at ipalulugay ang buhok ng babae, at ilalagay ang handog na harina na alaala sa kaniyang mga kamay, na handog na harina tungkol sa paninibugho: at tatangnan ng saserdote sa kamay ang mapapait na tubig na nagbubugso ng sumpa:

19 At siya'y papanunumpain ng saserdote, at sasabihin sa babae, Kung walang sumiping sa iyo na ibang lalake, at kung di ka nalisya sa karumihan, sa isang hindi mo asawa, ay maligtas ka nga sa mapapait na tubig na ito na nagbubugso ng sumpa:

20 Datapuwa't kung ikaw ay tunay na nalisya sa iba na di mo asawa, at kung ikaw ay nadumhan, at ibang lalake ay sumiping sa iyo, bukod sa iyong asawa:

21 Ay panunumpain nga ng saserdote ang babae ng panunumpang sumpa, at sasabihin ng saserdote sa babae, Ilagay ka ng Panginoon na pinakasumpa at pinakapula sa gitna ng iyong bayan, kung papanglumuhin ng Panginoon ang iyong hita at pamagain ang iyong tiyan;

22 At ang tubig na ito na nagbubugso ng sumpa ay tatalab sa iyong tiyan, at ang iyong katawan ay pamamagain at ang iyong hita ay panglulumuhin. At ang babae ay magsasabi, Siya nawa, Siya nawa.

23 At isusulat ng saserdote ang mga sumpang ito sa isang aklat, at kaniyang buburahin sa mapait na tubig:

24 At kaniyang ipaiinom sa babae ang mapait na tubig ng nagbubugso ng sumpa at tatalab sa kaniya ang tubig na nagbubugso ng sumpa, at magiging mapait.

25 At kukunin ng saserdote sa kamay ng babae ang handog na harina tungkol sa paninibugho at kaniyang aalugin ang handog na harina sa harap ng Panginoon, at dadalhin sa dambana:

26 At ang saserdote ay kukuha ng isang dakot ng handog na harina na pinakaalaala niyaon at susunugin sa ibabaw ng dambana, at pagkatapos ay ipaiinom sa babae ang tubig.

27 At pagka napainom na siya ng tubig, ay mangyayari na kung siya'y nadumhan, at siya'y sumalangsang sa kaniyang asawa, na ang tubig na nagbubugso ng sumpa ay tatalab sa kaniya at magiging mapait, at ang kaniyang katawan ay mamamaga at ang kaniyang hita ay manglulumo: at ang babae ay magiging sumpa sa gitna ng kaniyang bayan.

28 At kung ang babae ay hindi nadumhan, kundi malinis; ay magiging laya nga at magdadalang-tao.

29 Ito ang kautusan tungkol sa paninibugho, pagka ang isang babae ay nalilisiya sa lalaking di niya asawa, at nadumhan;

30 O pagka ang diwa ng paninibugho ay sumasaisang lalake, at naninibugho sa kaniyang asawa; ay pahaharapin nga ang babae sa Panginoon at gagawin ng saserdote sa kaniya ang buong kautusang ito.

31 At ang lalake ay maliligtas sa kasamaan, at ang babae ay siyang magdadala ng kaniyang kasamaan.

507. The fifth experience. 1

I was talking with angels and we came at last to the subject of the lust for evil which every person acquires by birth. 'In the world where I live,' said one of them, 'those who are possessed by lust appear to us angels as fools, but to themselves they seem extremely wise. On this account, in order to drag them out of their folly, they are by turns allowed to lapse into it and are then brought to a rational frame of mind, which in their case is confined to externals. When they are in this state they see, acknowledge and confess that they are crazy. But they still long to exchange their rational state for their crazed one, and they plunge into it as being freedom and pleasure in place of compulsion and unpleasantness. So it is lust that inwardly delights them, not intelligence.

[2] 'There are three universal loves of which every person is from creation compounded: the love of the neighbour, which is also the love of performing services, and this is a spiritual love; the love of the world, which is also the love of possessing wealth, and this is a material love; and self-love, which is also the love of dominating others, and this is a bodily love. A person is truly human when the love of the neighbour, or the love of performing services, makes up the head, and the love of the world, or of possessing wealth, makes up the chest and belly, and self-love, or the love of dominating, makes up the feet and the soles of the feet. But if the love of the world makes up the head, a person is only human in the way a hunchback is. And if self-love makes up the head, he is not like a person standing on his feet, but like one standing on the palms of his hands with his head down and his haunches in the air.

[3] 'When the love of performing services makes up the head, and the other two loves duly make up the trunk and feet, the person appears in heaven to have the face of an angel with a lovely rainbow around his head. But if the love of the world or wealth makes up the head, seen from heaven he seems to have a pale face like a corpse with a yellow ring around his head. And if self-love or the love of dominating others makes up the head, seen from heaven he seems to have a face dark with fiery gleams with a white ring around his head.'

This led me to ask: 'What do the rings around the head represent?' Intelligence;' they replied, 'the white ring around the head of a person with a dark face with fiery gleams represents his intelligence being limited to externals or around him, and his craziness being in his internals or inside him. Also a person of this sort is wise when engaged in the body, but crazy when in the spirit. No one is wise in spirit except by the Lord's doing; this happens when he is born again and created anew by the Lord.'

[4] After this the ground on the left opened and I saw rising through the opening a devil with a dark face with fiery gleams and a white ring around his head. 'Who are you?' I asked. 'I am Lucifer,' he said, 'the son of the dawn. I was cast down for making myself like the Most High, as described in Isaiah, chapter 14.' He was not actually Lucifer, but he thought he was. 'Since you have been cast down,' I said, 'how can you rise again from hell?' 'There,' he said, 'I am a devil, but here an angel of light; don't you see I have a white ring round my head? And you will see, if you wish, that among moral people I am moral, among rational people rational, among spiritual people even spiritual. I was even able to preach.'

'What did you preach about?' I asked. 'Against cheats,' he said, 'against adulterers and all the hellish loves. In fact it was then I called myself the devil Lucifer and invoked curses against myself as such, so that I was praised to the skies. That was how I got the name of the son of the dawn. To my own surprise, when I was in the pulpit I could think of nothing but speaking correctly and properly. But the reason was revealed to me, that I was in externals and these were then separated from my internals. Yet despite having this revealed to me, I was still unable to change, because I regarded myself as superior to the Most High, and was proud enough to oppose Him.'

[5] 'How,' I asked then, 'could you have spoken like that when you are yourself a cheat and an adulterer?' 'I am different,' he replied, 'when I am in externals or the body, from what I am when in internals or the spirit. In the body I am an angel, but in the spirit a devil. For while I am in the body I am in the power of the understanding, but in the spirit I am in the power of the will, and the understanding carries me upwards, while the will carries me down. When I am in the power of the understanding there is a white ring surrounding my head; but when the understanding becomes completely subservient to the will and is its creature, which is our ultimate fate, the ring turns black and fades away. When this happens I can no longer climb up into this light,,

Suddenly, however, catching sight of the angels with me, his face became inflamed and his voice became harsh, and he turned black, including the ring around his head. Then he fell back into hell through the opening by which he had risen. The by-standers drew the conclusion from what they had seen and heard that it is the will and not the understanding which determines a person's character, since the will has no difficulty in bringing the understanding over to its side and making it subservient.

[6] Then I asked the angels where the devils got their rationality from. 'It is,' they said, 'from the glory of self-love, for self-love is surrounded by glory, since this is the brilliance of its fire, and glory raises the understanding almost into the light of heaven. Everyone's understanding is capable of being raised in proportion to his knowledge; but the will can only be raised by living in accordance with the truths taught by the church and by reason. That is why even atheists, who out of self-love boast of their reputation, and so pride themselves on their intelligence, enjoy a higher degree of rationality than many others. But this happens when they are deep in intellectual thought, not when they are letting their wills express their love. It is love in the will which takes possession of the internal man, but thought in the understanding which takes possession of the external man.' The angel went on to tell us the reason why man is a compound of three loves, that of service, that of the world, and self-love. It is so that he may be guided in his thoughts by God, yet think entirely as if of himself. He told us that the highest levels of the human mind are turned upwards to God, the middle levels outwards to the world, the lowest downwards to the body. It is because these are turned downwards that a person thinks as if entirely of his own accord, when in fact his thoughts are controlled by God.
