1 Και ελαλησε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην, λεγων,

2 Λαλησον προς τους υιους Ισραηλ, λεγων, Εαν ψυχη τις αμαρτηση εξ αγνοιας και εκ των οσα ειναι προστεταγμενον υπο του Κυριου να μη πραττωνται πραξη τι εξ αυτων·

3 εαν μεν ο ιερευς ο κεχρισμενος αμαρτηση ωστε να ενοχοποιηση τον λαον, τοτε θελει φερει, δια την αμαρτιαν αυτου την οποιαν ημαρτησε, μοσχον βοος αμωμον προς τον Κυριον δια προσφοραν περι αμαρτιας.

4 Και θελει φερει τον μοσχον εις την θυραν της σκηνης του μαρτυριου ενωπιον του Κυριου· και θελει επιθεσει την χειρα αυτου επι την κεφαλην του μοσχου, και θελουσι σφαξει τον μοσχον ενωπιον του Κυριου.

5 Και θελει λαβει ο ιερευς ο κεχρισμενος απο του αιματος του μοσχου και φερει αυτο εις την σκηνην του μαρτυριου·

6 και θελει εμβαψει ο ιερευς τον δακτυλον αυτου εις το αιμα και θελει ραντισει απο του αιματος επτακις ενωπιον του Κυριου, εμπροσθεν του καταπετασματος του αγιαστηριου.

7 Και θελει βαλει ο ιερευς απο του αιματος επι τα κερατα του θυσιαστηριου του ευωδους θυμιαματος, το οποιον ειναι ενωπιον του Κυριου εν τη σκηνη του μαρτυριου· και θελει χυσει παν το αιμα του μοσχου εις την βασιν του θυσιαστηριου του ολοκαυτωματος, το οποιον ειναι εις την θυραν της σκηνης του μαρτυριου.

8 Και απαν το στεαρ του μοσχου της περι αμαρτιας προσφορας θελει αφαιρεσει απ' αυτου· το στεαρ το περικαλυπτον τα εντοσθια, και απαν το στεαρ το επι των εντοσθιων·

9 και τους δυο νεφρους και το στεαρ το επ' αυτων το προς τα πλευρα, και τον επανω λοβον του ηπατος, τον οποιον μετα των νεφρων θελει αφαιρεσει,

10 καθ' ον τροπον αφαιρειται απο του μοσχου της θυσιας της ειρηνικης· και θελει καυσει αυτα ο ιερευς επι του θυσιαστηριου του ολοκαυτωματος·

11 και το δερμα του μοσχου και παν το κρεας αυτου μετα της κεφαλης αυτου και μετα των ποδων αυτου και τα εντοσθια αυτου και την κοπρον αυτου·

12 και θελει φερει ολον τον μοσχον εξω του στρατοπεδου εις τοπον καθαρον, οπου χυνεται η στακτη, και θελει καυσει αυτον επι ξυλων δια πυρος· οπου χυνεται η στακτη, θελει καυθη.

13 Εαν δε πασα η συναγωγη του Ισραηλ αμαρτηση εξ αγνοιας και το πραγμα κρυφθη απο των οφθαλμων της συναγωγης και εκ των οσα ειναι προστεταγμενον υπο του Κυριου να μη πραττωνται, πραξωσι και ηναι ενοχοι·

14 οταν γνωρισθη η αμαρτια την οποιαν ημαρτησαν κατα τουτο, τοτε θελει προσφερει η συναγωγη μοσχον εκ βοων δια την αμαρτιαν και θελει φερει αυτον εμπροσθεν της σκηνης του μαρτυριου.

15 Και οι πρεσβυτεροι της συναγωγης θελουσιν επιθεσει τας χειρας αυτων επι την κεφαλην του μοσχου ενωπιον του Κυριου· και θελουσι σφαξει τον μοσχον ενωπιον του Κυριου.

16 Και ο ιερευς ο κεχρισμενος θελει φερει απο του αιματος του μοσχον εις την σκηνην του μαρτυριου·

17 και θελει εμβαψει ο ιερευς τον δακτυλον αυτου εις το αιμα και θελει ραντισει επτακις ενωπιον του Κυριου εμπροσθεν του καταπετασματος·

18 και θελει βαλει απο του αιματος επι τα κερατα του θυσιαστηριου, του ενωπιον του Κυριου, το οποιον ειναι εν τη σκηνη του μαρτυριου· και θελει χυσει παν το αιμα εις την βασιν του θυσιαστηριου του ολοκαυτωματος, το οποιον ειναι εις την θυραν της σκηνης του μαρτυριου.

19 Και παν το στεαρ αυτου θελει αφαιρεσει απ' αυτου και καυσει επι του θυσιαστηριου.

20 Και θελει καμει εις τον μοσχον καθ' ον τροπον εκαμεν εις τον μοσχον της περι αμαρτιας προσφορας· ουτω θελει καμει εις αυτον· και θελει καμει εξιλεωσιν υπερ αυτων ο ιερευς και θελει συγχωρηθη εις αυτους.

21 Και θελει εκβαλει τον μοσχον εξω του στρατοπεδου και καυσει αυτον, καθως εκαυσε τον πρωτον μοσχον· ειναι προσφορα περι αμαρτιας υπερ της συναγωγης·

22 Οταν δε αρχων τις αμαρτηση και πραξη εξ αγνοιας τι εκ των οσα ειναι προστεταγμενον υπο Κυριου του Θεου αυτου να μη πραττωνται, και ηναι ενοχος·

23 η εαν η αμαρτια αυτου, την οποιαν ημαρτησε, γνωστοποιηθη εις αυτον, τοτε θελει φερει την προσφοραν αυτου, τραγον εξ αιγων, αρσενικον αμωμον.

24 και θελει επιθεσει την χειρα αυτου επι την κεφαλην του τραγου, και θελουσι σφαξει αυτο εν τω τοπω οπου σφαζουσι το ολοκαυτωμα ενωπιον του Κυριου· ειναι προσφορα περι αμαρτιας.

25 Και θελει λαβει ο ιερευς απο του αιματος της περι αμαρτιας προσφορας δια του δακτυλου αυτου, και βαλει επι τα κερατα του θυσιαστηριου του ολοκαυτωματος και θελει χυσει το αιμα αυτου εις την βασιν του θυσιαστηριου του ολοκαυτωματος.

26 Και απαν το στεαρ αυτου θελει καυσει επι του θυσιαστηριου, ως το στεαρ της θυσιας της ειρηνικης προσφορας· και θελει καμει εξιλεωσιν υπερ αυτου ο ιερευς περι της αμαρτιας αυτου, και θελει συγχωρηθη εις αυτον.

27 Εαν δε ψυχη τις εκ του λαου της γης αμαρτηση εξ αγνοιας, πραττων τι εκ των οσα ειναι προστεταγμενον υπο του Κυριου να μη πραττωνται, και ηναι ενοχος.

28 η εαν γνωστοποιηθη εις αυτον η αμαρτια αυτου την οποιαν ημαρτησε· τοτε θελει φερει την προσφοραν αυτου, τραγον εξ αιγων, θηλυκον αμωμον, δια την αμαρτιαν αυτου την οποιαν ημαρτησε·

29 και θελει επιθεσει την χειρα αυτου επι την κεφαλην της περι αμαρτιας προσφορας, και θελουσι σφαξει την περι αμαρτιας προσφοραν εν τω τοπω του ολοκαυτωματος.

30 Και θελει λαβει ο ιερευς δια του δακτυλου αυτου απο του αιματος αυτου, και βαλει επι τα κερατα του θυσιαστηριου του ολοκαυτωματος και παν το αιμα αυτου θελει χυσει εις την βασιν του θυσιαστηριου·

31 και παν το στεαρ αυτου θελει αφαιρεσει, καθως αφαιρειται το στεαρ απο της θυσιας της ειρηνικης προσφορας· και θελει καυσει αυτο ο ιερευς επι του θυσιαστηριου εις οσμην ευωδιας προς τον Κυριον· και θελει καμει εξιλεωσιν υπερ αυτου ο ιερευς, και θελει συγχωρηθη εις αυτον.

32 Εαν δε φερη προβατον δια προσφοραν αυτου περι αμαρτιας, θελει φερει αυτο θηλυκον αμωμον·

33 και θελει επιθεσει την χειρα αυτου επι την κεφαλην της περι αμαρτιας προσφορας, και θελουσι σφαξει αυτο δια προσφοραν περι αμαρτιας, εν τω τοπω οπου σφαζουσι το ολοκαυτωμα.

34 Και θελει λαβει ο ιερευς απο του αιματος της περι αμαρτιας προσφορας δια του δακτυλου αυτου και βαλει επι τα κερατα του θυσιαστηριου του ολοκαυτωματος και απαν το αιμα αυτου θελει χυσει εις την βασιν του θυσιαστηριου·

35 και θελει αφαιρεσει παν το στεαρ αυτου, καθως αφαιρειται το στεαρ του προβατου απο της θυσιας της ειρηνικης προσφορας· και θελει καυσει αυτα ο ιερευς επι του θυσιαστηριου κατα τας προσφορας τας γινομενας δια πυρος εις τον Κυριον· και θελει καμει ο ιερευς εξιλεωσιν περι της αμαρτιας αυτου την οποιαν ημαρτησε, και θελει συγχωρηθη εις αυτον.

9506. 'And you shall make a mercy-seat from pure gold' means the hearing and reception of all things that belong to worship arising from the good of love. This is clear from the meaning of 'the mercy-seat' as the cleansing from evils or forgiveness of sins, consequently the hearing and reception of all things that belong to worship, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'gold' as the good of love, dealt with in 113, 1551, 1552, 5658, 6914. The truth that 'the mercy-seat' means the cleansing from evils and forgiveness of sins is clear from those places in the Word where propitiation or expiation is referred to. 1 The reason why the hearing and reception of all things belonging to worship is also meant is that only those who have made propitiation or expiation, that is, been cleansed from evils, are heard by the Lord and have their worship accepted by Him; it does not happen with those who are steeped in evils, that is, have not made expiation or propitiation. Therefore also Aaron was not allowed to approach the mercy-seat until he had been cleansed and had made propitiation for himself and the people.

[2] The truth that 'the mercy-seat' consequently means the hearing and reception of all things that belong to worship is also clear from the consideration that Jehovah spoke to Moses over the mercy-seat between the cherubs. The reason why worship arising from the good of love is that which is received is that no one is allowed to enter heaven and so approach the Lord other than a person who is governed by good, that is to say, by the good of love to the Lord and the good of charity towards the neighbour, see 8516, 8539, 8722, 8772, 9139, 9227, 9230, 9274; no one else is heard nor can anyone else's worship be received. This also explains why there were cherubs over the mercy-seat; for watchfulness and providence are meant by 'the cherubs', guarding against access to the Lord except through the good of love, that is, guarding against entrance into heaven by any apart from those who are governed by good, and also guarding against those in hell gaining access to the inhabitants of heaven and doing them harm. All this shows what was meant by the presence of the mercy-seat over the ark and by that of the cherubs over the mercy-seat, and by the fact that the mercy-seat and the cherubs too were made from pure gold; for 'gold' means the good of love, and 'the ark' heaven where the Lord is.

[3] The truth that 'the mercy-seat' means the cleansing from evils, and so the forgiveness of sins, is clear from places in the Word where 'propitiation' or 'expiation' 2 is referred to, as in David,

O Jehovah, expiate our sins for Your name's sake. Psalms 79:9.

In the same author,

He, being merciful, has expiated iniquity. Psalms 78:38.

In the same author,

You will expiate me with hyssop and I shall become clean; You will wash me and I shall be made whiter than snow. Psalms 51:7.

In Isaiah,

Evil will come upon you, which you will not know how to ward off; calamity will befall you, which you will not be able to expiate. Isaiah 47:11.

And in Moses,

Sing, O nations, the people of Him who will avenge the blood of His servants, and will expiate His land, His people. Deuteronomy 32:43.

[4] Expiations were effected by means of sacrifices; and it says that when they were offered the priest would expiate him from sin, and he would be pardoned, 3 Leviticus 4:26, 31, 35; 5:6, 10, 13, 16, 18; 6:7; 9:7; 15:15, 30. Expiation was also effected by 'silver', Exodus 30:16; Psalms 49:7. Hence also the day of expiations 4 before the feast of tabernacles, Leviticus 23:27-32. But it should be recognized that none of those expiations constituted a real cleansing from evils or forgiveness of sins; it only represented it. For every religious observance among the Israelite and Jewish nation was merely representative of the Lord, His kingdom and Church, and such realities as belong to heaven and the Church. How representations brought such realities to angels' awareness in heaven, see 9229.

[5] Since the cleansing from evils and forgiveness of sins was meant by 'the mercy-seat', the hearing and reception of all things that belonged to worship was also meant; for one who has been cleansed from evils is heard and his worship is received. This was represented by Jehovah's speaking above the mercy-seat to Moses and His commanding what the children of Israel should do, as is clear from verse 22 of the present chapter, where it says,

And I will meet with you there, and I will speak to you from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubs which are over the ark of the Testimony, [declaring] everything that I shall command you for the children of Israel.

The like occurs elsewhere,

Whenever Moses spoke to Jehovah he heard the voice speaking from above the mercy-seat that was over the ark of the Testimony, from between the two cherubs. Numbers 7:89.

The fact that a person was heard and his worship was received when he had been cleansed from evils was represented by Aaron's not going into the holy place within the veil before the mercy-seat unless he had first made expiation for himself and the people, by ceremonial washing, sacrifices, incense, and blood, as stated in Leviticus 16:2-16, which concludes,

In this way he shall expiate the holy place from the uncleannesses of the children of Israel, and from their transgressions in regard of all their sins.

It also says in verse 2 that Jehovah would appear at the mercy-seat 'in the cloud', meaning in Divine Truth adjusted to people's ability to receive and understand it, such as the Word is in the sense of the letter, 4060, 4391, 5922, 6343 (end), 6752, 8106, 8443, 8781.

Exodus 16

Სწავლა

   

1 They took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.

2 The whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;

3 and the children of Israel said to them, "We wish that we had died by the hand of Yahweh in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots, when we ate our fill of bread, for you have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger."

4 Then Yahweh said to Moses, "Behold, I will rain bread from the sky for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.

5 It shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall prepare that which they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily."

6 Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, "At evening, then you shall know that Yahweh has brought you out from the land of Egypt;

7 and in the morning, then you shall see the glory of Yahweh; because he hears your murmurings against Yahweh. Who are we, that you murmur against us?"

8 Moses said, "Now Yahweh shall give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you; because Yahweh hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Yahweh."

9 Moses said to Aaron, "Tell all the congregation of the children of Israel, 'Come near before Yahweh, for he has heard your murmurings.'"

10 It happened, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of Yahweh appeared in the cloud.

11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

12 "I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, 'At evening you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread: and you shall know that I am Yahweh your God.'"

13 It happened at evening that quail came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay around the camp.

14 When the dew that lay had gone, behold, on the surface of the wilderness was a small round thing, small as the frost on the ground.

15 When the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, "What is it?" For they didn't know what it was. Moses said to them, "It is the bread which Yahweh has given you to eat."

16 This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded: "Gather of it everyone according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, you shall take it, every man for those who are in his tent."

17 The children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less.

18 When they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack. They gathered every man according to his eating.

19 Moses said to them, "Let no one leave of it until the morning."

20 Notwithstanding they didn't listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul: and Moses was angry with them.

21 They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.

22 It happened that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one, and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.

23 He said to them, "This is that which Yahweh has spoken, 'Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to Yahweh. Bake that which you want to Bake, and boil that which you want to boil; and all that remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning.'"

24 They laid it up until the morning, as Moses asked, and it didn't become foul, neither was there any worm in it.

25 Moses said, "Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to Yahweh. today you shall not find it in the field.

26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none."

27 It happened on the seventh day, that some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.

28 Yahweh said to Moses, "How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?

29 Behold, because Yahweh has given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days. Everyone stay in his place. Let no one go out of his place on the seventh day."

30 So the people rested on the seventh day.

31 The house of Israel called its name Manna, and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey.

32 Moses said, "This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded, 'Let an omer-full of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.'"

33 Moses said to Aaron, "Take a pot, and put an omer-full of manna in it, and lay it up before Yahweh, to be kept throughout your generations."

34 As Yahweh commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

35 The children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.

36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
