1 La Eternulo vokis Moseon, kaj ekparolis al li el la tabernaklo de kunveno, dirante:

2 Parolu al la Izraelidoj, kaj diru al ili:Se iu el vi volas alporti oferon al la Eternulo, el la brutoj, el la bovoj, kaj el la sxafoj alportu vian oferon.

3 Se lia ofero estas brulofero el bovoj, li oferu virseksulon sendifektan; al la pordo de la tabernaklo de kunveno li alkonduku gxin, por favorigi al si la Eternulon.

4 Kaj li metu sian manon sur la kapon de la brulofero, kaj li akiros favoron kaj pekpardonon.

5 Kaj li bucxu la bovidon antaux la Eternulo; kaj la filoj de Aaron, la pastroj, alportu la sangon kaj aspergu per la sango cxirkauxe la altaron, kiu estas cxe la pordo de la tabernaklo de kunveno.

6 Kaj oni senfeligu la bruloferon kaj dishaku gxin en pecojn.

7 Kaj la filoj de la pastro Aaron metu fajron sur la altaron kaj metu lignon sur la fajron.

8 Kaj la filoj de Aaron, la pastroj, metu la pecojn, la kapon, kaj la grason, sur la lignon, kiu estas sur la fajro sur la altaro.

9 Kaj la internajxon kaj la krurojn oni lavu per akvo; kaj la pastro forbruligu cxion sur la altaro kiel bruloferon; gxi estas fajrofero, agrabla odorajxo al la Eternulo.

10 Kaj se lia ofero estas el la malgrandaj brutoj, el la sxafoj aux el la kaproj, brulofero, li alportu gxin virseksan, sendifektan.

11 Kaj li bucxu gxin sur la norda flanko de la altaro antaux la Eternulo; kaj la filoj de Aaron, la pastroj, aspergu per gxia sango la altaron cxirkauxe.

12 Kaj oni dishaku gxin en pecojn, apartiginte la kapon kaj la grason, kaj la pastro metu ilin sur la lignon, kiu estas sur la fajro sur la altaro.

13 Kaj la internajxon kaj la krurojn oni lavu per akvo; kaj la pastro cxion alportu kaj forbruligu sur la altaro kiel bruloferon; gxi estas fajrofero, agrabla odorajxo al la Eternulo.

14 Kaj se el la birdoj estas lia brulofero al la Eternulo, li alportu sian oferon el turtoj aux el kolombidoj.

15 Kaj la pastro alportu gxin al la altaro kaj fortordu gxian kapon kaj forbruligu gxin sur la altaro kaj elfluigu gxian sangon super la muro de la altaro.

16 Kaj gxian kropon kun gxiaj plumoj li forigu kaj jxetu gxin apud la altaron sur la orientan flankon en la cindrejon.

17 Kaj li disfendu gxiajn flugilojn, sed ne derompu; kaj la pastro forbruligu gxin sur la altaro, sur la ligno, kiu estas sur la fajro; gxi estas brulofero, fajrofero, agrabla odorajxo al la Eternulo.

287. Because these are the origins of peace, the Lord is called the Prince of Peace and says that peace comes from him and that peace is in him. So too angels are called angels of peace and heaven the dwelling place of peace, as in the following passages:

A child is born to us, a son is given to us, on whose shoulder the government [shall rest], and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, God, Hero, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace; of the increase of government and peace there shall be no end. (Isaiah 9:5-6 9:6-7)

Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you, not as the world gives do I give to you." (John 14:27)

I have told you these things so that you might have peace in me. (John 16:33)

May Jehovah lift his face to you and give you peace. (Numbers 6:26)

The angels of peace weep bitterly, the highways are ruined. (Isaiah 33:7-8)

The work of justice will be peace, and my people will live in a dwelling place of peace. (Isaiah 32:17-18)

[2] We may also gather that "peace" in the Word means divine and heavenly peace from other passages where it is mentioned, as for example in Isaiah 52:7; 54:10; 59:8; Jeremiah 16:5; 25:37; 29:11; Haggai 2:9; Zechariah 8:12; Psalms 37:37; and elsewhere.

Because peace means the Lord and heaven and also heavenly joy and the delight of good, greetings in ancient times were - and consequently still are-"Peace be with you." The Lord confirmed this, too, when he sent out his disciples and told them, "When you enter a house, first say 'Peace be upon this house'; and if a child of peace is there, let your peace rest upon it" (Luke 10:5-6). Further, the Lord himself said "Peace be with you" when he appeared to the apostles (John 20:19, 21, 26).

[3] A state of peace is also meant in the Word when it says that "Jehovah smelled an odor of quietness," as in Exodus 29:18, 25, 41; Leviticus 1:9, 13, 17, 2:2, 9, 6:8, 14 6:15, 21?; Leviticus 23:12-13, 18; Numbers 15:3, 7, 13, 28:6, 8, 13, 29:2, 6, 8, 13, 36. "An odor of quietness," in the heavenly sense, means a perception of peace. 1

Since peace means the oneness of the Divine itself and the divine human in the Lord and the union of the Lord with heaven and with the church and with everyone in heaven, and also with everyone in the church who accepts him, the Sabbath was instituted as a reminder of these matters and was named for quietness and peace. It became the holiest symbol of the church, which is why the Lord called himself the Lord of the Sabbath (Matthew 12:8; Mark 2:27-28; Luke 6:5). 2

Bilješke:

1. [Swedenborg's footnote] An odor in the Word means a perception of something pleasant or unpleasant, depending on the quality of the love and faith of the entity described: 3577, 4626, 4628, 4748, 5021 [5621?], 10292. An odor of quietness, in relation to Jehovah, means a perception of peace: 925, 10054. So frankincense, various kinds of incense, and the fragrances in oils and salves came to be representative: 925, 4748, 5621, 10177.

2. [Swedenborg's footnote] In the highest sense, the Sabbath means the oneness of the Divine itself with the divine human in the Lord; and in the inner sense the union of the Lord's divine human with heaven and the church. In a general sense it means the union of the good and the true and therefore the heavenly marriage: 8495, 10356, 10730. So the rest on the Sabbath day meant the state of that oneness, because then the Lord has rest, through which peace and salvation come to the heavens and to earth; and in a relative sense it means the union of the Lord with us, because then we have peace and salvation: 8494, 8510, 10360, 10367, 10370, 10374, 10668, 10730.

10730. 'And the seventh day shall be a holy day for you, a sabbath of rest to Jehovah' means the second state in the regeneration of a person, when that person is joined to the Lord, and in the highest sense means the union of the Lord's Human with the Divine itself. This is clear from the representation of 'the sabbath' as the second state in the regeneration of a person, when a person is governed by good and for that reason is led by the Lord, dealt with in 8510, 8890, 8893, 9274, and in the highest sense as the union of the Human with the Divine itself within the Lord, dealt with in 8495, 10356, 10367, 10374. When the Lord was in the world He first made His Human Divine Truth, but when He left the world He made His Human Divine Good through union with the Divine itself which was within Him. This is represented by 'the sabbath' in the highest sense, hence the use of the words 'a sabbath of rest to Jehovah'. The Lord does things in a similar way for a person whom He is regenerating. First He endows the person with truths, after which He uses the truths to join him to good, thus to Himself. This is what 'the sabbath' represents in the relative sense; for the regeneration of a person is an image of the glorification of the Lord, that is, as the Lord glorified His Human, so He regenerates a person.

[2] Strictly speaking, 'the sabbath' means rest and peace, because when the Lord united His Human to the Divine itself He had peace. For now conflicts had come to an end and all things in the heavens and in the hells had been restored to order, so that not only did He Himself have peace but also angels in heaven and people on earth dwelt in peace and safety.

[3] Since these two processes are the all-embracing realities on which everything else in the Church is dependent, only the sanctifying of the sabbath, which serves to mean those two realities, is declared here 1 . For the most all-embracing reality is that the Lord has united His Human to the Divine itself, as a result of which a person can dwell in peace and safety. And it is also an all-embracing reality that a person should be joined to the Lord, which is effected through regeneration bringing him that peace and safety. This also was why the sabbath among the Israelite nation was the chief representative and was the chief sign of the covenant with Jehovah, that is, of being joined to the Lord, see 10357, 10372, a covenant being a joining together.
