1 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju i Aronu govoreći:

2 Ovo je uredba i zakon što zapovedi Gospod govoreći: Reci sinovima Izrailjevim neka ti dovedu junicu crvenu zdravu, na kojoj nema mane, i koja još nije bila u jarmu;

3 I podajte je Eleazaru svešteniku, a on neka je izvede napolje iz logora da je zakolju pred njim.

4 I uzevši Eleazar krvi njene na prst svoj neka pokropi krvlju prema šatoru od sastanka sedam puta.

5 Potom neka zapovedi da se spali junica pred njegovim očima; kožu njenu i meso njeno i krv njenu s balegom neka spale.

6 I sveštenik uzevši drveta kedrovog, isopa i crvca, neka baci u oganj gde gori junica.

7 Potom neka opere haljine svoje i opere telo svoje vodom, pa onda neka uđe u logor, i neka bude sveštenik nečist do večera.

8 Tako i ko je spali, neka opere haljine svoje vodom, i telo svoje neka opere vodom, i neka bude nečist do večera.

9 A čist čovek neka pokupi pepeo od junice i izruči ga iza logora na čisto mesto, da se čuva zboru sinova Izrailjevih za vodu očišćenja; to je žrtva za greh.

10 I onaj koji pokupi pepeo od junice neka opere haljine svoje, i neka bude nečist do večera. To neka je sinovima Izrailjevim i došljaku koji se bavi među njima večan zakon.

11 Ko se dotakne mrtvog tela čovečijeg, da je nečist sedam dana.

12 On neka se očisti onom vodom treći dan i sedmi dan, i biće čist; ako li se ne očisti treći dan i sedmi, neće biti čist.

13 Ko se dotakne mrtvog tela čovečijeg pa se ne očisti, onaj je oskrvnio šator Gospodnji; zato da se istrebi ona duša iz Izrailja; jer nije pokropljen vodom očišćenja, zato je nečist, i nečistota je njegova na njemu.

14 Ovo je zakon kad čovek umre u šatoru: Ko god uđe u onaj šator i ko god bude u šatoru, nečist da je sedam dana;

15 I svaki sud otkriven, koji ne bude dobro zaklopljen, nečist je.

16 I ko se god dotakne u polju posečenog mačem ili umrlog ili kosti čovečije ili groba, nečist da je sedam dana.

17 I neka za nečistog uzmu pepela od junice spaljene za greh, i neka naliju na nj vode žive u sud.

18 Potom neka uzme čist čovek isopa i zamoči u onu vodu, i pokropi njom šator i sve sude i ljude koji su u njemu bili; tako i onog koji bi se dotakao kosti ili čoveka posečenog ili umrla ili groba.

19 Čisti nečistog neka pokropi treći i sedmi dan; i kad ga očisti sedmi dan, neka opere haljine svoje i sebe neka opere vodom, i biće čist uveče.

20 A ko bude nečist pa se ne očisti, da se istrebi ona duša iz zbora; jer je svetinju Gospodnju oskvrnio, a nije pokropljen vodom očišćenja; nečist je.

21 I ovo neka im je zakon večan: i koji pokropi vodom očišćenja, neka opere haljine svoje; i ko se god dotakne vode očišćenja, da je nečist do večera.

22 I čega se god dotakne ko je nečist, da je nečisto; i ko se njega dotakne, da je nečist do večera.

Apocalypse Explained #194

194. And thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. That this signifies man's ignorance of that time, and of his state then, is evident from the signification of hour, as being the time when man is to die, and also his state at the time; and from the signification of not knowing it, as being ignorant. It is said, what hour I will come upon thee, namely, as a thief; and in the sense of the letter is hereby meant that the Lord would thus come, but in the spiritual sense it is meant that evils and falsities would steal the knowledges which they have from the Word; for, in the sense of the letter of the Word, it is attributed to Jehovah, or the Lord, that He does evil, but, in the spiritual sense it is meant that He does evil to no one, but that man does evil to himself (as may be seen, Arcana Coelestia 2447, 5798, 6071, 6991, 6997, 7533, 7632, 7643, 7877, 7679, 7710, 7926, 8227, 8228, 8284, 8483, 8632, 9010, 9128, 9306, 10431).

[2] The reason why hour also signifies state is, because in the Word all times, as a day, a week, a month, a year, an age, signify states of life, and hence hour has a similar signification. (The cause of this may be seen in the work, Heaven and Hell 162-169, where time in heaven is treated of.)

But because hour signifies both time and state, therefore, where hour is mentioned in the Word it may to some extent be known that something other than time is signified by it.

In Matthew:

A householder hired labourers into his vineyard, who, laboured from the third hour, the sixth, the ninth, and the eleventh, and received an equal reward (Matthew 20:1-17).

By these hours in the world are meant times, but in heaven states of the life, because there are no hours in heaven, as times there are not measurable, and divided into days, and these into hours, as in the world, therefore instead of these they there perceive the states of the life of those who die, whether old, young, youths or children, who have alike procured to themselves spiritual life. To labour in the vineyard, denotes the procuring of spiritual life by means of knowledges of good and truth from the Word applied to the uses of life. (That a vineyard in the Word signifies the spiritual church, and spiritual life pertaining to man, may be seen, Arcana Coelestia 3220, 9139.) By the third, the sixth, and the ninth hours similar states of life are signified; for all numbers in the Word are significative, and those numbers have a similar signification. Three signifies a full state, or what is complete even to the end (see n. 2788, 4495, 7715, 8347, 9825). The like is signified by six and nine; but the number eleven signifies a state not yet full, but yet a state of reception, such as that of well-disposed children and infants. The twelfth hour up to which they all laboured, signifies truths and goods in their fulness (see n. 577, 2089, 2129, 2130, 3272, 3858, 3913. That all numbers in the Word are significative, see n. 4495, 4670, 5265, 6175, 9488, 9659, 10217, 10253; and that multiplied numbers have a similar signification to the simple numbers from which they arise by multiplication, hence three, six, and nine have a similar signification, see n. 5291, 5335, 5708, 7973).

[3] Since twelve signifies truths and goods in their fulness, and thus a state of light or of man's intelligence therefrom, the Lord says,

"Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walk in the day, he stumbleth not" (John 11:9).

In other places, also by hours are signified states of life, as in the Apocalypse:

"The four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, to slay the third part of men" (9:15).

By the times here mentioned are meant states of evil in men, as will be seen when we come to the explanation of those words.

From these considerations it is now evident that by, Thou shalt not know in what hour I will come upon thee, is meant man's ignorance not only of the time of his death, but also of the state of his life at that time, which state remains to eternity; for according to the quality of the state of man's past life even to the end of it, such he remains to eternity.

[4] Similar things are frequently said by the Lord in the Evangelists, as in Matthew:

"Ye know not in what hour your Lord doth come; be ye also ready; for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of man shall come" (24:42, 44).

Again:

"The lord of the servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of" (24:50).

And again:

"Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man shall come" (25:13).

It must be known that a man remains to eternity such as the quality of his whole life has been to the end, and not at all such as he is at the hour of death; for repentance then in the case of the evil is of no avail, but with the good it confirms the state.
