1 At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, na sinasabi,

2 Salitain mo sa mga anak ni Israel, at sabihin mo sa kanila, Pagka ang sinomang lalake o babae ay gagawa ng isang tanging panata, ng panata ng isang Nazareo, upang tumalaga sa Panginoon:

3 Ay hihiwalay siya sa alak at sa matapang na inumin; siya'y hindi iinom ng suka ng alak, o tubang nakalalasing, ni iinom man ng anomang katas na galing sa ubas o kakain man ng sariwang ubas o pasas.

4 Sa lahat ng araw ng kaniyang pagkatalaga ay hindi siya kakain ng anomang bagay na ibinubunga ng puno ng ubas, magmula sa mga butil hanggang sa balat.

5 Sa lahat ng araw ng kaniyang pagkatalaga ay walang pang-ahit na daraan sa ibabaw ng kaniyang ulo: hanggang sa matupad ang mga araw na kaniyang itinalaga sa Panginoon, ay magpapakabanal siya; kaniyang pababayaang humaba ang buhok ng kaniyang ulo.

6 Sa lahat ng araw ng kaniyang pagtalaga sa Panginoon, ay huwag siyang lalapit sa patay na katawan.

7 Siya'y huwag magpapakarumi sa kaniyang ama o sa kaniyang ina, o sa kaniyang kapatid na lalake, o babae, pagka sila'y namatay: sapagka't ang pagtalaga niya sa Dios, ay sumasa kaniyang ulo.

8 Sa lahat ng araw ng kaniyang pagtalaga, ay banal siya sa Panginoon.

9 At kung ang sinoman ay biglang mamatay sa kaniyang siping, at mahawa ang ulo ng kaniyang pagkatalaga: ay aahitan nga niya ang kaniyang ulo sa araw ng paglilinis, sa ikapitong araw ay aahitan niya ito.

10 At sa ikawalong araw ay magdadala siya ng dalawang batobato o dalawang inakay ng kalapati sa saserdote, sa pintuan ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan.

11 At ihahandog ng saserdote ang isa na pinakahandog dahil sa kasalanan, at ang isa'y pinakahandog na susunugin at itutubos sa kaniya, sapagka't siya'y nagkasala dahil sa patay, at babanalin ang kaniyang ulo sa araw ding yaon.

12 At itatalaga niya sa Panginoon ang mga araw ng kaniyang pagkatalaga, at siya'y magdadala ng isang korderong lalake ng unang taon na pinakahandog dahil sa pagkakasala: datapuwa't ang mga unang araw ay mawawalan ng kabuluhan, sapagka't ang kaniyang pagkatalaga ay nadumhan.

13 At ito ang kautusan tungkol sa Nazareo, pagka natupad na ang mga araw ng kaniyang pagkatalaga: siya'y dadalhin sa pintuan ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan;

14 At kaniyang ihahandog ang kaniyang alay sa Panginoon, na isang korderong lalake ng unang taon na walang kapintasan, na pinakahandog na susunugin, at isang korderong babae ng unang taon na walang kapintasan na pinakahandog dahil sa kasalanan at isang tupang lalake na walang kapintasan na pinakahandog tungkol sa kapayapaan,

15 At isang bakol na tinapay na walang lebadura, mga munting tinapay ng mainam na harina na hinaluan ng langis at mga manipis na tinapay na walang lebadura na pinahiran ng langis, at ang handog na harina niyaon at ang mga handog na inumin niyaon.

16 At ihaharap ng saserdote yaon sa harapan ng Panginoon, at ihahandog ang kaniyang handog dahil sa kasalanan at ang kaniyang handog na susunugin:

17 At kaniyang ihahandog sa Panginoon ang tupang lalake na pinaka-hain na handog tungkol sa kapayapaan na kalakip ng bakol ng mga tinapay na walang lebadura: ihahandog din ng saserdote ang handog na harina niyaon at ang handog na inumin niyaon.

18 At ang Nazareo ay magaahit ng ulo sa kaniyang pagkatalaga sa pintuan ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan at kaniyang dadamputin ang buhok ng ulo ng kaniyang pagkatalaga at ilalagay sa ibabaw ng apoy na nasa ilalim ng hain na handog tungkol sa kapayapaan.

19 At kukunin ng saserdote ang lutong balikat ng tupa, at isang munting tinapay na walang lebadura sa bakol, at isang manipis na tinapay na walang lebadura, at ilalagay sa mga kamay ng Nazareo, pagkatapos na makapagahit ng ulo ng kaniyang pagkatalaga:

20 At aalugin ng saserdote na pinakahandog na inalog sa harapan ng Panginoon; ito'y banal sa saserdote, pati ng dibdib na inalog at ng hitang itinaas; at pagkatapos nito'y ang Nazareo ay makaiinom ng alak.

21 Ito ang kautusan tungkol sa Nazareo na nagpanata, at tungkol sa kaniyang alay sa Panginoon dahil sa kaniyang pagtalaga, bukod pa sa aabutin ng kaniyang mga kaya: ayon sa kaniyang panata na kaniyang ipinanata, ay gayon niya dapat gagawin, ayon sa kautusan tungkol sa kaniyang pagkatalaga.

22 At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, na sinasabi,

23 Salitain mo kay Aaron at sa kaniyang mga anak, na sasabihin, Sa ganitong paraan babasbasan ninyo ang mga anak ni Israel; inyong sasabihin sa kanila:

24 Pagpalain ka nawa ng Panginoon at ingatan ka:

25 Paliwanagin nawa ng Panginoon ang kaniyang mukha sa iyo, at mahabag sa iyo:

26 Ilingap nawa ng Panginoon ang kaniyang mukha sa iyo, at bigyan ka ng kapayapaan.

27 Gayon nila ilalagay ang aking pangalan sa mga anak ni Israel; at aking pagpapalain sila.

7839. A son of a year shall be for you. That this signifies a full state, is evident from the signification of “a son,” as being truth (see n. 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2623, 2803, 2813, 3373, 3704); and from the signification of “a year,” as being an entire period from beginning to end (n. 2906), thus a full state. What a full state is must be stated. A state is called “full,” when the good is such that there is not anything lacking for the reception of the influx of innocence. The truths of faith conjoined with the good of charity cause good to be such; for spiritual good receives its quality from the truths of faith. This is here meant by the “full state” which is signified by the “son of a year.” But the state is not full when truths have not as yet qualified good, so that this can receive the corresponding states of innocence. This state first becomes full when truths are regarded from good; and it is not yet full when good is regarded from truths. In this latter state are they who are being regenerated, but in the former are they who are regenerated. The former are in truth leading to good, but the latter are in truth which is from good; or the former are in obedience to truth, but the latter are in the affection of doing truth; and therefore the former are men of the external church, but the latter of the internal church. As by the “son of a year” was signified a full state, therefore it was so many times commanded that a lamb or a kid “a son of a year” should be sacrificed, as in Exodus 29:38; Leviticus 9:3; 12:6; 1 4:10; 23:12, 18-19; Numbers 6:12; 7:15, 87-88; 15:27; 28:9, 11; and where the new temple is treated of in Ezekiel:

The prince shall prepare a lamb the son of its year without blemish for a burnt-offering unto Jehovah daily, each morning shall he prepare it (Ezekiel 46:13); where by the “new temple” is meant the Lord’s spiritual kingdom; by the “prince,” those who are in genuine truths and thence in good; by “the burnt-offering of a lamb,” the worship of the Lord from the good of innocence; and by the “son of a year,” a full state.

Exodus 29

Study

   

1 "This is the thing that you shall do to them to make them holy, to minister to me in the priest's office: take one young bull and two rams without blemish,

2 unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil: you shall make them of fine wheat flour.

3 You shall put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bull and the two rams.

4 You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall wash them with water.

5 You shall take the garments, and put on Aaron the coat, the robe of the ephod, the ephod, and the breastplate, and clothe him with the skillfully woven band of the ephod;

6 and you shall set the turban on his head, and put the holy crown on the turban.

7 Then you shall take the anointing oil, and pour it on his head, and anoint him.

8 You shall bring his sons, and put coats on them.

9 You shall clothe them with belts, Aaron and his sons, and bind headbands on them: and they shall have the priesthood by a perpetual statute: and you shall consecrate Aaron and his sons.

10 "You shall bring the bull before the Tent of Meeting: and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the bull.

11 You shall kill the bull before Yahweh, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

12 You shall take of the blood of the bull, and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger; and you shall pour out all the blood at the base of the altar.

13 You shall take all the fat that covers the innards, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and burn them on the altar.

14 But the flesh of the bull, and its skin, and its dung, you shall burn with fire outside of the camp: it is a sin offering.

15 "You shall also take the one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.

16 You shall kill the ram, and you shall take its blood, and sprinkle it around on the altar.

17 You shall cut the ram into its pieces, and wash its innards, and its legs, and put them with its pieces, and with its head.

18 You shall burn the whole ram on the altar: it is a burnt offering to Yahweh; it is a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

19 "You shall take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.

20 Then you shall kill the ram, and take some of its blood, and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and on the tip of the right ear of his sons, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the big toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood around on the altar.

21 You shall take of the blood that is on the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron, and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be made holy, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.

22 Also you shall take some of the ram's fat, the fat tail, the fat that covers the innards, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys, the fat that is on them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram of consecration),

23 and one loaf of bread, one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before Yahweh.

24 You shall put all of this in Aaron's hands, and in his sons' hands, and shall wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh.

25 You shall take them from their hands, and burn them on the altar on the burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma before Yahweh: it is an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

26 "You shall take the breast of Aaron's ram of consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before Yahweh: and it shall be your portion.

27 You shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the thigh of the wave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons:

28 and it shall be for Aaron and his sons as their portion forever from the children of Israel; for it is a wave offering: and it shall be a wave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, even their wave offering to Yahweh.

29 "The holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him, to be anointed in them, and to be consecrated in them.

30 Seven days shall the son who is priest in his place put them on, when he comes into the Tent of Meeting to minister in the holy place.

31 "You shall take the ram of consecration, and boil its flesh in a holy place.

32 Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

33 They shall eat those things with which atonement was made, to consecrate and sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat of it, because they are holy.

34 If anything of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread, remains to the morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.

35 "You shall do so to Aaron, and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded you. You shall consecrate them seven days.

36 Every day you shall offer the bull of sin offering for atonement: and you shall cleanse the altar, when you make atonement for it; and you shall anoint it, to sanctify it.

37 Seven days you shall make atonement for the altar, and sanctify it: and the altar shall be most holy; whatever touches the altar shall be holy.

38 "Now this is that which you shall offer on the altar: two lambs a year old day by day continually.

39 The one lamb you shall offer in the morning; and the other lamb you shall offer at evening:

40 and with the one lamb a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil, and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering.

41 The other lamb you shall offer at evening, and shall do to it according to the meal offering of the morning, and according to its drink offering, for a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

42 It shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the Tent of Meeting before Yahweh, where I will meet with you, to speak there to you.

43 There I will meet with the children of Israel; and the place shall be sanctified by my glory.

44 I will sanctify the Tent of Meeting and the altar: Aaron also and his sons I will sanctify, to minister to me in the priest's office.

45 I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.

46 They shall know that I am Yahweh their God, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among them: I am Yahweh their God.
