1 Og HE EN talede til Moses og Aron og sagde:

2 Når der på et Menneskes Hud viser sig en Hævelse eller Udslæt eller en lys Plet, som kan blive til Spedalskhed på hans Hud, skal han føres hen til Præsten Aron eller en af hans Sønner, Præsterne.

3 Præsten skal da syne det syge Sted på Huden, og når Hårene på det syge Sted er blevet hvide og Stedet ser ud til at ligge dybere end Huden udenom, så er det Spedalskhed, og så skal Præsten efter at have synet ham erklære ham for uren.

4 Men hvis det er en hvid Plet på Huden og den ikke ser ud til at ligge dybere end Huden udenom og Hårene ikke er blevet hvide. så skal Præsten lukke den angrebne inde i syv Dage;

5 og på den syvende Dag skal Præsten syne ham. Viser det sig da, at Ondet ikke har skiftet Udseende eller bredt sig på Huden, skal Præsten igen lukke ham inde i syv Dage;

6 og på den syvende Dag skal Præsten atter syne ham. Hvis det da viser sig, at Ondet er ved at svinde, og at det ikke har bredt sig på Huden, skal Præsten erklære ham for ren; da er det almindeligt Udslæt på Huden; han skal da tvætte sine Klæder og være ren.

7 Men hvis Udslættet breder sig på Huden, efter at han har ladet Præsten syne sig for at blive erklæret for ren, og hvis Præsten, når han anden Gang lader sig syne af ham,

8 ser, at Udslættet har bredt sig på Huden, så skal Præsten erklære ham for uren; det er Spedalskhed.

9 Når et Menneske angribes af Spedalskhed, skal han føres hen til Præsten,

10 og Præsten skal syne ham; og når der da viser sig at være en hvid Hævelse på Huden og Hårene derpå er blevet hvide og der vokser vildt Kød i Hævelsen,

11 så er det gammel Spedalskhed på hans Hud, og da skal Præsten erklære ham for uren; han behøver ikke at lukke ham inde, thi han er uren.

12 Men hvis Spedalskheden bryder ud på Huden og Spedalskheden bedækker hele den angrebnes Hud fra Top til Tå, så vidt Præsten kan se,

13 og Præsten ser, at Spedalskheden bedækker hele hans Legeme, så skal han erklære den angrebne for ren; han er blevet helt hvid, han er ren.

14 Men så snart der viser sig vildt Kød på ham, er han uren;

15 og når Præsten ser det vilde Kød, skal han erklære ham for uren; det vilde Kød er urent, det er Spedalskhed.

16 Hvis derimod det vilde Kød forsvinder og han bliver hvid, skal han gå til Præsten;

17 og hvis det, når Præsten syner ham, viser sig, at den angrebne er blevet hvid, skal Præsten erklære den angrebne for ren; han er ren.

18 Når nogen på sin Hud har haft en Betændelse, som er lægt,

19 og der så på det Sted, som var betændt, kommer en hvid Hævelse eller en rødlighvid Plet, skal han lad sig syne af Præsten;

20 og hvis Præsten finder, at Stedet ser ud til at ligge dybere end Huden udenom og Hårene derpå er blevet hvide, skal Præsten erklære ham for uren; det er Spedalskhed, der er brudt frem efter Betændelsen.

21 Men hvis der, når Præsten syner det, ikke viser sig at være hvide Hår derpå og det ikke ligger dybere end Huden udenom, men er ved at svinde, da skal Præsten lukke ham inde i syv Dage;

22 og når det da breder sig på Huden, skal Præsten erklære ham for uren; det er Spedalskhed.

23 Men hvis den hvide Plet bliver, som den er, uden at brede sig, da er det et Ar efter Betændelsen, og Præsten skal erklære ham for ren.

24 Eller når nogen får et Brandsår på Huden, og det Kød, der vokser i Brandsåret, frembyder en rødlighvid eller hvid Plet,

25 så skal Præsten syne ham, og hvis det da viser sig, at Hårene på Pletten er blevet hvide og den ser ud til at ligge dybere end Huden udenom, så er det Spedalskhed, der er brudt frem i Brandsåret; og da skal Præsten erklære ham for uren; det er Spedalskhed.

26 Men hvis det, når Præsten synet ham, viser sig, at der ingen hvide Hår er på den lyse Plet, og at en ikke ligger dybere end Huden udenom, men at den er ved at svinde, så skal Præsten lukke ham inde i syv Dage;

27 og på den syvende Dag skal Præsten syne ham, og når den da har bredt sig på Huden, skal Præsten erklære ham for uren; det er Spedalskhed.

28 Men hvis den lyse Plet bliver, som den er, uden at brede sig på Huden, og er ved at svinde, så er det en Hævelse efter Brandsåret, og da skal Præsten erklære ham for ren; thi det er et Ar efter Brandsåret.

29 Når en Mand eller Kvinde angribes i Hoved eller Skæg,

30 skal Præsten syne det syge Sted, og hvis det da ser ud til at ligge dybere end Huden udenom og der er guldgule, tynde Hår derpå, så skal Præsten erklære ham for uren; det er Skurv, Spedalskhed i Hoved eller Skæg.

31 Men hvis det skurvede Sted, når Præsten syner det, ikke ser ud til at ligge dybere end Huden udenom, uden at dog Hårene derpå er sorte, da skal Præsten lukke den skurvede inde i syv dage;

32 og på den syvende Dag skal Præsten syne ham, og hvis da Skurven ikke har bredt sig og der ikke er kommet guldgule Hår derpå og Skurven ikke ser ud til at ligge dybere end Huden udenom,

33 da skal den angrebne lade sig rage uden dog at lade det skurvede Sted rage; så skal Præsten igen lukke den skurvede inde i syv Dage.

34 På den syvende Dag skal Præsten syne Skurven, og hvis det da viser sig, at Skurven ikke har bredt sig på Huden, og at den ikke ser ud til at ligge dybere end Huden udenom, så skal Præsten erklære ham for ren; da skal han tvætte sine Klæder og være ren.

35 Men hvis Skurven breder sig på Huden, efter at han er erklæret for ren,

36 da skal Præsten syne ham; og hvis det så viser sig, at Skurven har bredt sig, behøver Præsten ikke at undersøge, om der er guldgule Hår; han er uren.

37 Men hvis Skurven ikke har skiftet Udseende og der er vokset sorte Hår frem derpå, da er Skurven lægt; han er ren, og Præsten skal erklære ham for ren.

38 Når en Mand eller Kvinde får lyse Pletter, hvide Pletter på Huden,

39 skal Præsten syne dem; og hvis der da på deres Hud viser sig hvide Pletter, det er ved at svinde, er det Blegner, der er brudt ud på Huden; han er ren.

40 Når nogen bliver skaldet på Baghovedet, så er han kun isseskaldet; han er ren.

41 Og hvis han bliver skaldet ved Panden og Tindingerne, så er han kun pandeskaldet; han er ren.

42 Men kommer der på hans skaldede isse eller Pande et rødlighvidt Sted, er det Spedalskhed. der bryder frem på hans skaldede Isse eller Pande.

43 Så skal Præsten syne ham, og viser det sig da, at Hævelsen på det syge Sted på hans skaldede Isse eller Pande er rødlighvid, af samme Udseende som Spedalskhed på Huden,

44 så er han spedalsk; han er uren, og Præsten skal erklære ham for uren; på sit Hoved er han angrebet.

45 Den, der er spedalsk, den, som lider af Sygdommen, skal gå med sønder1evne Klæder, hans Hår skal vokse frit, han skal tilhylle sit Skæg, og: "uren, uren!" skal han råbe.

46 Så længe han er angrebet, skal han være uren; uren er han, for sig selv skal han bo, uden for Lejren skal hans Opholdsted være.

47 Når der kommer Spedalskhed på en Klædning enten af Uld eller Lærred

48 eller på vævet eller knyttet Stof af Lærred eller Uld eller på Læder eller Læderting af enhver Art

49 og det angrebne Sted på Klædningen, Læderet, det vævede eller knyttede Stof eller Lædertingene viser sig at være grønligt eller rødligt, så er det Spedalskhed og skal synes af Præsten.

50 Og når Præsten har synet Skaden, skal han lukke den angrebne Ting inde i syv Dage.

51 På den syvende Dag skal han syne den angrebne Ting, og dersom Skaden har bredt sig på Klædningen, det vævede eller knyttede Stof eller Læderet, de forskellige Læderting, så er Skaden ondartet Spedalskhed, det er urent.

52 Da skal han brænde Klædningen eller det af Uld eller Lærred vævede eller knyttede Stof eller alle de Læderting, som er angrebet; thi det er ondartet Spedalskhed, det skal opbrændes.

53 Men hvis Præsten finder, at Skaden ikke har bredt sig på Klædningen eller det vævede eller knyttede Stof eller på de forskellige Slags Læderting,

54 så skal Præsten påbyde, at den angrebne Ting skal tvættes, og derpå igen lukke den inde i syv Dage.

55 Præsten skal da syne den angrebne Ting, efter at den er tvættet, og viser det sig da, at Skaden ikke har skiftet Udseende, så er den uren, selv om Skaden ikke har bredt sig; du skal opbrænde den; det er ædende Udslæt på etten eller Vrangen.

56 Men hvis det, når Præsten syner det, viser sig, at Skaden er ved at svinde efter Tvætningen, så skal han rive det angrebne Sted af Klædningen eller Læderet eller det vævede eller knyttede Stof.

57 Viser det sig da igen på Klædningen eller det vævede eller knyttede Stof eller de forskellige Læderling, da er det Spedalskhed, der er ved at bryde ud; du skal opbrænde de angrebne Ting.

58 Men den Klædning eller det vævede eller knyttede Stof eller de forskellige Læderting, hvis Skade svinder efter Tvætningen, skal tvættes på ny; så er det rent.

59 Det er Loven om SpedalskhedKlæder af Uld eller Lærred eller på vævet eller knyttet Stof eller på alskens Læderting; efter den skal de erklæres for rene eller urene.

7524. 'Sores breaking out into pustules' means resulting filthiness together with blasphemy. This is clear from the meaning of 'sore places' as filthiness resulting from evils; and from the meaning of 'pustules' as blasphemy resulting from evils. Sores on a person's body correspond to filthiness resulting from evils, and pustules to blasphemy. What is more, they would be present on every evil person if he were not being kept, all the time he is in the world, in the kind of state that allows him to receive the goodness and truth of faith. For the sake of that state the Lord prevents his evils from erupting into such ailments.

[2] The meaning of 'sores' as filthiness together with blasphemy is also evident in John,

The first angel poured out his bowl onto the earth, and evil and hurtful sores were produced on the people who had the mark of the beast. The fifth angel poured out his bowl onto the throne of the beast, and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their distress and because of their sores. Revelation 16:2, 10-11.

And in Moses,

Jehovah will strike you with the sores of Egypt, and with haemorrhoids, and the scab, and the itch, so that you cannot be healed; for you will be made mad by what your eyes will see. 1 Jehovah will strike you with evil sores on the knees and on the thighs, from which you cannot be healed. Jehovah will lead you away, and your king whom you set over you, to a nation which you have not known. Deuteronomy 28:17, 34-36.

'The sores of Egypt' stands for filthiness together with blasphemy. And since blasphemy too is meant it says that they will be made mad by what their eyes see; for one who blasphemes God is unhealthy or insane.

[3] Different kinds of sores are called haemorrhoids, the scab, and the itch; and these mean just so many different kinds of falsities arising from evils. Sores on the knees and thighs have almost the same meaning. And since falsities are meant by them there follows immediately the statement that the king whom they set over themselves would be led away; for 'king' means truth and in the contrary sense falsity, 1672, 2015, 2069, 3009, 4581, 4966, 5044, 6148. Leprous sores, such as swellings, abscesses, pimples, inflammations, scurfy patches (porrigo), reddish-white sores (vitiligo), that are referred to in Leviticus 13:1-end, are also of the same kind, for 'leprosy' in the spiritual sense is the profanation of truth, 6963.

[4] 'Wounds' too have the same kind of meaning, as is evident in Isaiah,

From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it, [but] wounds, bruises, and recent blows. They are not pressed out, nor bound up, nor softened with oil. Isaiah 1:6.

And in David,

My iniquities have gone over my head. My wounds have become putrid, they have rotted away because of my foolishness. Psalms 38:4-5.

6148. 'Only the ground of the priests he did not buy' means that the internal obtained for itself from the natural every capacity to receive good, because every such capacity came from itself. This is clear from the representation of 'Joseph', about whom these things are said, as the internal, dealt with already; from the meaning of 'the ground' as the receptacle of truth, dealt with above in 6135-6137, at this point the capacity to receive good, for the capacity of something is its inherent ability to receive, which causes a receptacle to be a receptacle (that capacity comes from good, that is, from the Lord through good, for if the good of love did not flow in from the Lord no one would ever have the capacity to receive truth or good. That inflow of the good of love from the Lord causes everything present inwardly in a person to be of a receptive nature. The truth that the capacity to receive good comes from the natural is meant by the fact that the ground lay in Egypt, since 'Egypt' means the natural in respect of factual knowledge, 6142); from the meaning of 'the priests' as good, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'not buying' as not taking those capacities to itself - not in the way that it made truths and forms of the good of truth, together with their receptacles, its own, which came about through periods of desolation and sustainment - for the reason that those capacities came from itself, from the internal. All these meanings serve to show that 'only the ground of the priests he did not buy' means that the internal obtained for itself from the natural every capacity to receive good, because every such capacity came from itself.

[2] The implications of all this are that a person's capacities to receive truth and good come directly from the Lord; he obtains them without any help at all from himself. A person's capacity to receive goodness and truth is maintained in him unceasingly; and from that capacity he possesses understanding and will. But a person does not receive them if he turns to evil. The capacity to receive does, it is true, remain, but its access to thought and sensitivity is blocked, on account of which his capacity to see what is true and have a sensitive awareness of what is good perishes. And it perishes to the extent that he turns to evil and in faith and life becomes firmly settled in it. The fact that a person contributes nothing whatever to his capacity to receive truth and good is well known from the Church's teaching that nothing at all of the truth of faith and nothing at all of the good of charity comes from man but from the Lord. Yet a person can destroy that capacity residing with him. From all this one may now see how one should understand the idea that the internal obtained for itself from the natural every capacity to receive good, because every such capacity came from itself. The expression 'from the natural' is used because the inflow of good from the Lord is effected by the Lord through the internal into the natural; and once the capacity to receive has been obtained from there, the inflow takes place, for now there is reception, see 5828.

[3] So far as the meaning of 'the priests' as forms of good is concerned, it should be recognized that there are two realities which go forth from the Lord - goodness and truth. Divine Good was represented by priests, and Divine Truth by kings; and this is why 'the priests' means forms of good and 'the kings' truths. Regarding the attribution of Priesthood and Kingship to the Lord, see 1728, 2015 (end), 3670. In the representative Ancient Church those two offices of priest and king existed jointly in one personage, the reason for this being that goodness and truth which go forth from the Lord are united; and they are also joined together in heaven among the angels.

[4] A personage in the Ancient Church in whom the two offices existed joined together was called Melchizedek, a name meaning king of righteousness. This may be seen from the following statement about Melchizedek who came to Abraham, 1

Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; and he was a priest to God Most High. And he blessed Abraham. Genesis 14:18-19.

His representation of the Lord in both offices is evident from the fact that he was a king and at the same time a priest, and from the fact that he was allowed to bless Abraham and offer him bread and wine, which even at that time were the symbols of the good of love and the truth of faith. His representation of the Lord in both offices is further evident in David,

Jehovah has sworn and will not repent, You are a priest for ever after the manner of Melchizedek. Psalms 110:4.

These words were spoken in reference to the Lord. 'After the manner of Melchizedek' means that He is both King and Priest, that is, in the highest sense that Divine Good and Divine Truth go forth together from Him.

[5] Because a representative Church was going to be established also among the descendants of Jacob, they too were to have a single personage to represent jointly Divine Good and Divine Truth, which go forth from the Lord united. But on account of the wars and the idolatry of that people the two were in fact divided right from the start; those who ruled over the attended to sacred duties were referred to as the priests, who belonged to the seed of Aaron and were the Levites. At a later time the two functions were joined together in a single person, as they were in Eli and Samuel. Yet because the nature of the people was such that the representative Church could not be established among them, only a representative of the Church, on account of the practice of idolatry prevalent among them, the two functions were allowed to be separated. The Lord was then represented in respect of Divine Truth by kings and in respect of Divine Good by priests. The separation took place because the people desired it, not because the Lord took any pleasure in it, as is clear from the Word of Jehovah to Samuel,

Obey the voice of the people in all that they have said to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them; and show them the right of the king. 1 Samuel 8:7-end; 12:19-20.

[6] The reason why the two functions were not meant to be separated was that Divine Truth separated from Divine Good condemns all people, whereas Divine Truth united to Divine Good saves them. Judged by Divine Truth a person is condemned to hell, but Divine Good brings him out of there and raises him into heaven. Salvation comes of mercy and so sprigs from Divine Good; but damnation exists when a person rejects mercy and so casts Divine Good away from himself, as a consequence of which he is left to be judged by Truth. As regards 'kings' representing Divine Truth, see 1672, 1728, 2015, 2069, 3009, 3670, 4575, 4581, 4966, 5044, 5068.

[7] 'The priests' represented the Lord in respect of Divine Good, and for that reason good is meant by them. This becomes clear from the internal sense of all that was prescribed regarding the priesthood when Aaron was chosen, and after him the Levites, such as these prescriptions:

The High Priest alone should enter the Holy of holies and minister there. [Leviticus 16.]

Things holy to Jehovah were to be for the priest. Leviticus 23:20; 27:21.

They were not to have any portion or inheritance in the land, but Jehovah would be their portion and inheritance. Numbers 18:20; Deuteronomy 10:9; 18:1.

The Levites were given to Jehovah instead of the firstborn, and they were given by Jehovah to Aaron. Numbers 3:9, 12-13, Numbers 3:40-end; 8:16-19.

The high priest and the Levites were to be in the middle of the camp when they pitched it and when they were journeying. Numbers 1:50-54; 2:17; 3:23-38; 4:1-end.

No one from the seed of Aaron who had a blemish in himself was to approach to offer burnt offerings or sacrifices. Leviticus 21:17-20.

And there are many other prescriptions besides these, such as those in Leviticus 21:9-13, and elsewhere.

[8] In the highest sense all these prescriptions relating to the priests represented the Lord's Divine Good and therefore in the relative sense the good of love and charity. Aaron's vestments however, called 'vestments of holiness', represented Divine Truth from Divine Good. These matters will in the Lord's Divine mercy be dealt with in the explanations of what appears in Exodus.

[9] Since truth is meant by 'kings' and good by 'priests', 'kings and priests' are mentioned together many times in the Word, as in John, Jesus Christ has made us kings and priests to His God and Father. Revelation 1:6; 5:10.

By virtue of the truth of faith we are said to have been made 'kings', and by virtue of the good of charity to have been made 'priests', so that the truth and good residing with those who abide in the Lord have been joined together, in the way they are in heaven, as stated above. This is what is meant by 'being made kings and priests'.

[10] In Jeremiah,

It will happen on that day, that the heart of the king and of the princes will perish, and the priests will be dumbfounded and the prophets left wondering. Jeremiah 4:9.

In the same prophet,

The house of Israel is ashamed, they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets. Jeremiah 2:26.

In the same prophet,

The kings of Judah, the princes, the priests, and the prophets, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. Jeremiah 8:1.

In these places 'kings stands for truths, 'princes' for first and foremost truths, 1482, 1089, 5044, 'priests' for forms of good, and 'prophets' for those who teach, 2534.

[11] Quite apart from this it should be recognized that Joseph did not buy the ground of the priests. The fact that this was representative of the consideration that the whole of a person's capacity to receive truth and good comes from the Lord is evident from a similar law in Moses regarding the fields belonging to the Levites,

The field of the country surrounding the cities of the Levites shall not be sold, for it is their eternal possession. Leviticus 25:34.

The meaning here in the internal sense is that no one ought to lay any claim to the good of the Church, which is the good of love and charity, because that good is from the Lord alone.
