Éxodo 30

Სწავლა

   

1 Harás asimismo un altar de sahumerio de incienso; de madera de cedro lo harás.

2 Su longitud será de un codo, y su anchura de un codo; será cuadrado, y su altura de dos codos; y sus cuernos serán de lo mismo.

3 Y lo cubrirás de oro puro, su techado, y sus paredes en derredor, y sus cuernos; y le harás en derredor una corona de oro.

4 Le harás también dos anillos de oro debajo de su corona a sus dos esquinas en ambos lados, para meter las varas con que será llevado.

5 Y harás las varas de madera de cedro, y las cubrirás de oro.

6 Y lo pondrás delante del velo que está junto al arca del testimonio, delante de la cubierta que está sobre el testimonio, donde yo te testificaré de mí.

7 Y quemará sobre él Aarón sahumerio de aroma cada mañana, cuando aderezare las lámparas lo quemará.

8 Y cuando Aarón encienda las lámparas al anochecer, quemará el sahumerio continuamente delante del SEÑOR por vuestras edades.

9 No ofreceréis sobre él sahumerio extraño, ni holocausto, ni presente; ni tampoco derramaréis sobre él libación.

10 Y sobre sus cuernos hará Aarón expiación una vez en el año con la sangre de la expiación para las reconciliaciones; una vez en el año hará expiación sobre él en vuestras edades; será santísimo al SEÑOR.

11 Y habló el SEÑOR a Moisés, diciendo:

12 Cuando tomares el número de los hijos de Israel conforme a la cuenta de ellos, cada uno dará al SEÑOR el rescate de su persona, cuando los contares, y no habrá en ellos mortandad por haberlos contado.

13 Esto dará cualquiera que pasare por la cuenta: medio siclo conforme al siclo del santuario. El siclo es de veinte óbolos; la mitad de un siclo será la ofrenda al SEÑOR.

14 Cualquiera que pasare por la cuenta, de veinte años arriba, dará la ofrenda al SEÑOR.

15 Ni el rico aumentará, ni el pobre disminuirá de medio siclo, cuando dieren la ofrenda al SEÑOR para hacer expiación por vuestras personas.

16 Y tomarás de los hijos de Israel el dinero de las expiaciones, y lo darás para la obra del tabernáculo del testimonio; y será por memorial a los hijos de Israel delante del SEÑOR, para expiar vuestras personas.

17 Habló más el SEÑOR a Moisés, diciendo:

18 Harás también una fuente de bronce, con su basa de bronce, para lavar; y la has de poner entre el tabernáculo del testimonio y el altar; y pondrás en ella agua.

19 Y de ella se lavarán Aarón y sus hijos sus manos y sus pies.

20 Cuando entraren en el tabernáculo del testimonio, se han de lavar con agua, para que no mueran; y cuando se llegaren al altar para ministrar, para encender al SEÑOR la ofrenda que se ha de consumir al fuego,

21 también se lavarán las manos y los pies, para que no mueran. Y lo tendrán por estatuto perpetuo él y su simiente por sus generaciones.

22 Habló más el SEÑOR a Moisés, diciendo:

23 Y tú has de tomar de las principales especias; de mirra excelente quinientos siclos , y de canela aromática la mitad, esto es, doscientos cincuenta, y de cálamo aromático doscientos cincuenta,

24 y de casia quinientos, al peso del santuario, y de aceite de olivas un hin;

25 y harás de ello el aceite de la santa unción, superior ungüento, obra de perfumador, el cual será el aceite de la santa unción.

26 Con él ungirás el tabernáculo del testimonio, y el arca del testimonio,

27 y la mesa, y todos sus vasos, y el candelero, y todos sus vasos, y el altar del incienso,

28 y el altar del holocausto, todos sus vasos, y la fuente y su basa.

29 Así los consagrarás, y serán cosas santísimas; todo lo que tocare en ellos, será santificado.

30 Ungirás también a Aarón y a sus hijos, y los santificarás para que sean mis sacerdotes.

31 Y hablarás a los hijos de Israel, diciendo: Este será mi aceite de la santa unción por vuestras edades.

32 Sobre carne de hombre no será untado, ni haréis otro semejante, conforme a su composición, santo es; por santo habéis de tenerlo vosotros.

33 Cualquiera que compusiere ungüento semejante, y que pusiere de él sobre extraño, será cortado de su pueblo.

34 Dijo aún El SEÑOR a Moisés: Tómate aromas, estacte y uña olorosa y gálbano aromático e incienso limpio; de todo en igual peso.

35 Y harás de ello una confección aromática de obra de perfumador, bien mezclada, pura y santa;

36 y molerás alguna de ella pulverizándola, y la pondrás delante del testimonio en el tabernáculo del testimonio, donde yo te testificaré de mí. Os será cosa santísima.

37 Como la confección que harás, no os haréis otra según su composición: santidad te será para el SEÑOR.

38 Cualquiera que hiciere otra como ella para olerla, será cortado de su pueblo.

10196. 'Before the mercy-seat which is above the Testimony' means where the Lord hears and receives everything of worship arising from the good of love. This is clear from the meaning of 'the mercy-seat' as the hearing and reception by the Lord of everything of worship arising from the good of love, dealt with in 9506; and from the meaning of 'the Testimony' as the Lord in respect of the Word, dealt with in 8535, 9503, thus of Divine Truth since the Lord in respect of Divine Truth is the Word, 9987.

[2] A brief statement about Divine Good and Divine Truth needs to be made here. As to His Divine [Being] itself, called the Father, and His Divine Humanity, called the Son, the Lord is Divine Love itself, and is accordingly Divine Good itself. But as to His presence in heaven, which is beneath the Lord as the Sun, He is Divine Truth. Yet this Divine Truth has Divine Good within it, adjusted to its reception by angels and spirits. This Divine presence is what is called the Spirit of Jehovah and that which is Holy. The reason why it is spoken of as Divine Truth and not Divine Good is that angels and spirits are created beings and therefore are recipients of Divine Truth emanating from Divine Good. Like people in the world they enjoy two powers of mind - the understanding and the will. The understanding has been formed to receive Divine Truth and the will to receive Divine Good; and their understanding serves not only to receive [that Truth] but also to perceive [this Good].

[3] Simple people may gain some idea of this matter if it is compared with the sun and the world that comes into being from it. The sun is composed of fire, but what radiates from it is heat and light. As anyone may know, there is no light within the sun itself, but light radiates from it. And in the measure that light radiating from the sun holds heat within itself plants come to life and grow, producing fruit and seeds. These things have been mentioned by way of comparison because the whole natural order is a theatre representative of the Lord's kingdom; and it is a representative theatre because the natural world has been brought into being by the Divine - and is unceasingly brought into being, that is, is held in being, by Him - by means of the spiritual world. So it is that in the Word 'the sun', similarly 'fire', is used to mean the Lord in respect of Divine Love, and 'light' to mean the Lord in respect of Divine Truth, as in John 1:9; 3:19; 9:5; 12:46.

Arcana Coelestia # 8700

8700. 'For the task is too heavy for you' means that it is not possible because it does not arise from true order. This is clear from the meaning of 'heavy task' as something not possible. The meaning of 'heavy burden' here as something not possible is clear from what comes before, where it says that he and the people with him would wither away, meaning that the truth which had been implanted was going to perish, and also from what comes after - 'You are not able to do it yourself alone', and later on in verse 23, 'If you do this thing, you are able to stand fast' - by which impossibility if no change takes place is meant.

[2] The reason why it is not possible because it does not arise from true order is that in the next life everything is possible which arises from order, and everything is impossible which does not arise from order. Divine Truth, which emanates from the Lord, is what makes order, indeed is order. Consequently everything that is in keeping with Divine Truth, being in keeping with order, is possible; and everything that is contrary to Divine Truth, being contrary to order, is impossible. Let some examples serve to show plainly that this is so. It is in keeping with order that people who have led good lives will be saved, and those who have led bad ones will be condemned. Therefore it is impossible to send to hell those who have led good lives, or to raise to heaven those who have led bad ones. Consequently it is impossible for those in hell to be brought, by the Lord's pure mercy, out of there into heaven and to be saved. For it is the acceptance of the Lord's mercy when they lived in the world that saves everyone. Those who accept it in the world are open to the Lord's mercy in the next life, for there they have the ability to accept it. Imparting it to others, and doing so at will to all and sundry provided that they possess faith and so believe they have been cleansed from sins, is impossible because it is contrary to true order, that is, contrary to the Divine, who is order.

[3] It is in keeping with order that faith and charity should be implanted in freedom and not under compulsion, and that faith and charity that has been implanted in freedom should remain, but not if implanted under compulsion. The reason for this is that when they are implanted in freedom they are instilled into the person's affection and so into his will, and are accordingly made his own, but not so if they are implanted under compulsion. Consequently it is impossible for a person to be saved unless, having been born in evil, he is left in freedom to do evil or to refrain from it. When with that freedom he refrains of his own accord from evil, an affection for truth and goodness is instilled by the Lord; and this gives him freedom to receive insights belonging to faith and desires belonging to charity; for freedom exists as a result of affection. From this it is evident that it is impossible for a person to be saved under compulsion; were it possible all people in the world would be saved.

[4] It is in keeping with order in the next life for all to be formed into different communities according to the life they acquired in the world, the evil living in association with the evil, and the good with the good. It is not possible therefore for the evil and the good to be together, nor is it possible for the evil to be governed by good; for good and evil are opposites and one destroys the other. From this it is also evident that it is not possible for those in hell to be saved, so that salvation by mercy alone, regardless of the life a person has been leading, is an impossibility. Those who are in hell and suffer torment there attribute the torments there to the Divine. They say that since the Divine is all-powerful He is able, if He is willing, to take their torment away, but that He is not willing, and that for this reason He is responsible for it. For they say that he who is able yet unwilling to take it away is the one who is responsible for it. But it is impossible for such things to be taken away because that is contrary to order. If they were taken away the evil would rise up against the good; they would overpower the angels themselves and destroy heaven. But the Divine desires only what is good, that is to say, the happiness of those who are good, and those torments only because they restrain and at the same time correct the wicked. Since this is the end in view, being the end that Divine Love and Mercy itself has in view, it is not possible for the torments suffered by those in hell to be taken away. From these examples it becomes clear that everything is impossible which is contrary to order, however possible it may seem to be to those unacquainted with the arcana of heaven.
