1 E l’Eterno parlò a Mosè dicendo:

2 "Quand’uno peccherà e commetterà una infedeltà verso l’Eterno, negando al suo prossimo un deposito da lui ricevuto, o un pegno messo nelle sue mani, o una cosa che ha rubata o estorta con frode al prossimo,

3 o una cosa perduta che ha trovata, e mentendo a questo proposito e giurando il falso circa una delle cose nelle quali l’uomo può peccare,

4 quando avrà così peccato e si sarà reso colpevole, restituirà la cosa rubata o estorta con frode, o il deposito che gli era stato confidato, o l’oggetto perduto che ha trovato,

5 o qualunque cosa circa la quale abbia giurato il falso. Ne farà la restituzione per intero e v’aggiungerà un quinto in più, consegnandola al proprietario il giorno stesso che offrirà il suo sacrifizio di riparazione.

6 E porterà al sacerdote il suo sacrifizio di riparazione all’Eterno: un montone senza difetto, preso dal gregge, secondo la tua stima, come sacrifizio di riparazione.

7 E il sacerdote farà l’espiazione per lui davanti all’Eterno, e gli sarà perdonato qualunque sia la cosa di cui si è reso colpevole".

8 L’Eterno parlò ancora a Mosè, dicendo:

9 "Da’ quest’ordine ad Aaronne e ai suoi figliuoli, e di’ loro: Questa è la legge dell’olocausto. L’olocausto rimarrà sulle legna accese sopra l’altare tutta la notte, fino al mattino; e il fuoco dell’altare sarà tenuto acceso.

10 Il sacerdote si vestirà della sua tunica di lino e si metterà sulla carne le brache; leverà la cenere fatta dal fuoco che avrà consumato l’olocausto sull’altare e la porrà allato all’altare.

11 Poi si spoglierà delle vesti e ne indosserà delle altre, e porterà la cenere fuori del campo, in un luogo puro.

12 Il fuoco sarà mantenuto acceso sull’altare e non si lascerà spegnere; e il sacerdote vi brucerà su delle legna ogni mattina, vi disporrà sopra l’olocausto, e vi farà fumar sopra il grasso dei sacrifizi di azioni di grazie.

13 Il fuoco dev’esser del continuo mantenuto acceso sull’altare, e non si lascerà spengere.

14 Questa è la legge dell’oblazione. I figliuoli d’Aaronne l’offriranno davanti all’Eterno, dinanzi all’altare.

15 Si leverà una manata di fior di farina con il suo olio e tutto l’incenso che è sull’oblazione, e si farà fumare ogni cosa sull’altare in sacrifizio di soave odore, come una ricordanza per l’Eterno.

16 Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli mangeranno quel che rimarrà dell’oblazione; la si mangerà senza lievito, in luogo santo; la mangeranno nel cortile della tenda di convegno.

17 Non la si cocerà con lievito; è la parte che ho data loro de’ miei sacrifizi fatti mediante il fuoco. E’ cosa santissima, come il sacrifizio per il peccato e come il sacrifizio di riparazione.

18 Ogni maschio tra i figliuoli d’Aaronne ne potrà mangiare. E’ una parte perpetua, assegnatavi di generazione in generazione, sui sacrifizi fatti mediante il fuoco all’Eterno. Chiunque toccherà quelle cose dovrà esser santo".

19 L’Eterno parlò ancora a Mosè, dicendo:

20 "Questa è l’offerta che Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli faranno all’Eterno il giorno che riceveranno l’unzione: un decimo d’efa di fior di farina, come oblazione perpetua, metà la mattina e metà la sera.

21 Essa sarà preparata con olio, sulla gratella; la porterai quando sarà fritta; l’offrirai in pezzi, come offerta divisa di soave odore all’Eterno;

22 e il sacerdote che, tra i figliuoli d’Aaronne, sarà unto per succedergli, farà anch’egli quest’offerta; è la parte assegnata in perpetuo all’Eterno; sarà fatta fumare per intero.

23 Ogni oblazione del sacerdote sarà fatta fumare per intero; non sarà mangiata".

24 L’Eterno parlò ancora a Mosè, dicendo:

25 "Parla ad Aaronne e ai suoi figliuoli, e di’ loro: Questa è la legge del sacrifizio per il peccato. Nel luogo dove si sgozza l’olocausto, sarà sgozzata, davanti all’Eterno, la vittima per il peccato. E’ cosa santissima.

26 Il sacerdote che l’offrirà per il peccato, la mangerà; dovrà esser mangiata in luogo santo, nel cortile della tenda di convegno.

27 Chiunque ne toccherà la carne dovrà esser santo; e se ne schizza del sangue sopra una veste, il posto ove sarà schizzato il sangue lo laverai in luogo santo.

28 Ma il vaso di terra che avrà servito a cuocerla, sarà spezzato; e se è stata cotta in un vaso di rame, questo si strofini bene e si sciacqui con acqua.

29 Ogni maschio, fra i sacerdoti, ne potrà mangiare; è cosa santissima.

30 Ma non si mangerà alcuna vittima per il peccato, quando si deve portare del sangue d’essa nella tenda di convegno per fare l’espiazione nel santuario. Essa sarà bruciata col fuoco.

Apocalypse Explained #1154

1154. Beasts of burden and sheep.- That these signify worship from truths and goods that are from a spiritual-natural origin, profaned, is evident from the signification of beasts of burden, which denote the truths that have reference to charity, of which we shall speak presently; and from the signification of sheep, which denote the goods of charity, as is evident from all the passages in the Word where they are mentioned; as in the following: Matthew 7:15; 9:36; 10:5, 6, 16; 12:10, 11, 12; 15:21-29; 18:12, 13; 25:31-41; 26:31; Mark 6:34; 14:27; John 10:1-18, 26-31; 21:15, 16, 17; and many passages in the prophets. In these passages sheep signify those who are in the good of charity, and therefore, in the abstract sense, the goods of charity. But by beasts of burden are signified the truths that have reference to the goods of charity; and asses especially are meant - which are used for riding upon and carrying burdens - and they signify such things as are of use and pertain to instruction; as in Isaiah:

"They carry their wealth upon the shoulder of beasts of burden" (30:6).

Here by wealth knowledges are signified.

And in Luke,

"the Samaritan set the man wounded by the robbers on his own beast of burden" (10:34);

where, by setting the man on his own beast of burden is signified to instruct him according to his capability, as may be seen above, n. 375:42, 376:30, 444:14, where that parable is explained.

The signification of beasts of burden when asses are meant, may be seen above, n. 31:8, 140. It is said that beasts of burden and sheep signify truths and goods from a spiritual-natural origin, because here those goods and truths are meant that pertain to those who are in the external church of the Lord, and thence in the first or ultimate heaven; these are natural, but still receptive of the Spiritual, and therefore they are called spiritual-natural. Here, however, as elsewhere, it is meant that worship from such truths and goods is profaned.

[2] Continuation concerning the Athanasian Creed.- The operation of the Divine Providence, notwithstanding that man is ignorant of it, shall be illustrated by two comparisons. It is like a gardener who collects the seeds of shrubs, fruit-trees, and flowers of every kind, and provides himself with spades, rakes, and various other implements for preparing the ground. He afterwards brings his garden into a state of cultivation, digging it, cutting it in to beds, putting in the seeds, and smoothing the ground. This is as it were the gardener's own work; but it is the Lord who causes the seeds to take root, to spring out of the earth, to put forth leaves and then flowers, and lastly to yield new seeds, which are for the gardener's benefit. It is also like a man who is about to build a house. He provides himself with the requisite materials, such as timber, rafters, stone, mortar, and various other things. But the Lord while man is ignorant of it afterwards builds the house from the foundation to the roof entirely suited to the man. From these comparisons it follows that unless a man provides himself with the requisites for his garden or his house, he will have neither the former with the advantage of its fruits, nor the latter to afford him a dwelling. So is it in the case of reformation.

[3] Those things with which a man must provide himself are the knowledges of truth and good obtained from the Word, from the doctrine of the church, from the world, and from his own study; the Lord does the rest without man's knowledge. It must, however, be borne in mind that all the requisites for sowing a garden or building a house, which, as was said, are the knowledges of truth and good, are merely the necessary materials, which have no life until man uses them, or lives according to them as if from himself. When this is the case, then the Lord enters, imparts life, and builds, that is, reforms. The garden, or the house, is man's understanding; for in it dwells his wisdom which derives all that it has from love.

Arcana Coelestia #1551

1551. That 'silver' means truths is clear from the meaning of 'silver' as truth. The most ancient people compared the goods and truths present in man to metals. Innermost or celestial goods which flow from love to the Lord they compared to gold, truths deriving from these to silver. Goods of a lower or natural kind however they compared to bronze, and truths of a lower kind to iron. Nor did they just compare them; they also called them such. This was the origin of periods of time being likened to those same metals and being called the golden, silver, bronze, and iron ages, for these followed in that order one after another. The golden age was the time of the Most Ancient Church, which was celestial man. The silver age was the time of the Ancient Church, which was spiritual man. The bronze age was the time of the Church that followed, and the iron age came after that. Similar things were also meant by the statue which Nebuchadnezzar saw in a dream, whose head was of fine gold, breast and arms of silver, belly and thighs of bronze, and shins of iron, Daniel 2:32-33. That periods of the Church were to follow one another in that order, and actually did so, is clear in that very chapter of the same prophet.

[2] That 'silver' in the internal sense of the Word wherever it is mentioned means truth, or in the contrary sense falsity, is clear from the following places: In Isaiah,

Instead of bronze I will bring gold, and instead of iron I will bring silver, and instead of wood, bronze, and instead of stones, iron. And I will make peace your assessment, and righteousness your tax-collectors. Isaiah 60:17.

Here it is evident what each metal means. The subject is the Lord's Coming, His kingdom, and the celestial Church. 'Instead of bronze, gold' is celestial good in place of natural good; 'instead of iron, silver' is spiritual truth in place of natural truth; 'instead of wood, bronze' is natural good in place of bodily good; 'instead of stone, iron' is natural truth in place of truth acquired through the senses. In the same prophet,

Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the water, and he who has no money, 1 come, buy and eat! Isaiah 55:1.

'He who has no money' 1 is the person who does not know the truth but who nevertheless possesses the good that stems from charity, as is the case with many people inside the Church, and with gentiles outside it.

[3] In the same prophet,

The islands will wait for Me, the ships of Tarshish at their head, to bring your sons from afar, their silver and their gold with them, to the name of Jehovah your God, and to the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 60:9.

This refers specifically to a new Church, or a Church among gentiles, and in general to the Lord's kingdom. 'Ships from Tarshish' stands for cognitions, 'silver' for truths, and 'gold' for goods, which are those things they 'will bring to the name of Jehovah'. In Ezekiel,

For your adornment you took vessels made of My gold and of My silver, which I had given you, and you made for yourselves figures of the male. Ezekiel 16:17.

Here 'gold' stands for cognitions of celestial things, 'silver' of spiritual things. In the same prophet,

You were adorned with gold and silver, and your raiment was fine linen and silk, and embroidered cloth. Ezekiel 16:13.

This refers to Jerusalem, by which the Lord's Church is meant, whose adornment is being described in this manner. In the same prophet,

Behold, you who are wise, there is no secret they have hidden from you; by your wisdom and by your intelligence you have acquired riches for yourself, and you have acquired gold and silver in your treasuries. Ezekiel 28:3-4.

Here, in what is said in reference to Tyre, 'gold' is plainly identified with the riches of wisdom, and 'silver' with the riches of intelligence.

[4] In Joel,

You have taken My silver and My gold, and My good and desirable treasures you have carried into your temples. Joel 3:5.

This refers to Tyre, Sidon, and Philistia, which mean cognitions, and these are 'the silver and the gold they took into their temples'. In Haggai,

The elect of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory. Mine is the silver, and Mine is the gold. The glory of this latter house will be greater than that of the former. Haggai 2:7-9.

This refers to the Lord's Church to which 'gold and silver' have reference. In Malachi,

He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi. Malachi 3:3.

This refers to the Coming of the Lord. In David,

The words of Jehovah are pure words, silver refined in an earthen crucible, poured seven times. Psalms 12:6.

'Silver purified seven times' stands for Divine truth. At the time of their exodus out of Egypt the children of Israel were commanded that every woman should ask of her neighbour, and of her who sojourned in her house, vessels of silver and vessels of gold and garments, and that they should put them on their sons and on their daughters, and so despoil the Egyptians, Exodus 3:22; 11:2-3; 12:35-36. Anyone may see from this that the children of Israel would never have been ordered to steal and despoil the Egyptians of those possessions in that way if these did not represent some arcana. But what those arcana are may become clear from the meaning of 'silver and gold, garments, and Egypt', and from the fact that what these possessions represented is similar to the words here 'rich in the silver and gold from Egypt', used in reference to Abram.

[5] Just as 'silver' means truth so in a contrary sense it means falsity, for people under the influence of falsity imagine falsity to be the truth, as is also clear in the Prophets. In Moses,

You shall not covet the silver and the gold of the nations, nor take it for yourself, lest you be ensnared by it, for it is an abomination to Jehovah your God. You shall utterly detest it. Deuteronomy 7:25-26.

'The gold of the nations' stands for evils, and 'their silver' for falsities. In the same author,

You shall not make gods of silver to be with Me, nor shall you make for yourselves gods of gold. Exodus 20:23.

In the internal sense these words mean nothing other than falsities and evil desires, falsities being meant by 'gods of silver', and evil desires by 'gods of gold'. In Isaiah,

On that day everyone will spurn his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your hands have made for you - a sin. Isaiah 31:7.

'Idols of silver and idols of gold' stands for similar things that are false and evil 'Which your hands have made' stands for what is a product of the proprium. In Jeremiah,

They are foolish and stupid; that wood is a way of learning vanities! Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the smith and of the hands of the moulder. Their clothing is violet and purple These are all the work of the wise. Jeremiah 10:8-9.

Here 'silver' and 'gold' quite clearly stand for similar things that are false and evil.
