1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:

2 "Neka ovo bude obred za gubavca na dan njegova čišćenja: neka se dovede svećeniku;

3 neka svećenik iziđe iz tabora i obavi pregled. Ako ustanovi da je gubavac od gube ozdravio,

4 neka naredi da se za čovjeka koji se ima čistiti uzmu dvije ptice, čiste i žive, cedrovine, grimiznog prediva i izopa.

5 Neka zatim svećenik naredi da se jedna ptica zakolje nad živom vodom u zemljanoj posudi.

6 Potom neka uzme živu pticu, a onda zajedno živu pticu, cedrovinu, grimizno predivo i izop zamoči u krv ptice što je bila zaklana povrh žive vode.

7 Sada neka sedam puta poškropi onoga koji se od gube čisti, a onda ga čistim proglasi. Poslije toga neka pusti živu pticu na otvorenu polju.

8 Onaj koji se čisti neka opere svoju odjeću, obrije sve svoje dlake i u vodi se okupa. Tako neka je čist. Poslije toga neka uđe u tabor, ali sedam dana neka stanuje izvan svoga šatora.

9 Sedmi dan neka obrije sve svoje dlake: kosu, bradu i obrve; neka obrije sve ostale svoje dlake. Pošto u vodi opere svoju odjeću i okupa se, neka je čist.

10 Osmoga dana neka uzme muško janje bez mane, jedno žensko janje od godine dana, također bez mane, tri desetine efe najboljeg brašna zamiješena u ulju za žrtvu prinosnicu i jedan log ulja.

11 Svećenik koji vrši čišćenje neka ih stavi pred Jahvu na ulazu u Šator sastanka s čovjekom koji se ima čistiti.

12 Neka zatim svećenik uzme jedno muško janje pa ga s ono ulja u logu prinese kao žrtvu naknadnicu. Neka ih prinese pred Jahvom kao žrtvu prikaznicu.

13 Neka janje zakolje ondje gdje se kolju žrtve okajnice i žrtve paljenice - na svetome mjestu, jer žrtva naknadnica kao i okajnica pripada svećeniku: vrlo je sveta!

14 Potom neka svećenik uzme krvi od žrtve naknadnice, pa neka njome namaže resicu desnoga uha, palac desne ruke i palac desne noge onoga koji se čisti.

15 Poslije toga neka uzme log s uljem i izlije na dlan svoje lijeve ruke.

16 Zamočivši svećenik svoj desni prst u ulje na svojoj lijevoj ruci, neka uljem sa svoga prsta obavi škropljenje pred Jahvom sedam puta.

17 Od ulja što mu preostane u ruci neka svećenik, po krvi od žrtve naknadnice, pomaže resicu desnoga uha, palac desne ruke i palac desne noge onoga koji se čisti.

18 Ostatak ulja sa svoje ruke neka svećenik metne na glavu onoga koji se čisti. Tako će svećenik nad njim izvršiti obred pomirenja pred Jahvom.

19 Neka svećenik poslije toga prinese žrtvu okajnicu i nad onim koji se čisti neka obavi obred pomirenja za njegovu nečistoću. Napokon neka zakolje žrtvu paljenicu,

20 a onda neka svećenik žrtvu paljenicu i žrtvu prinosnicu podigne na žrtvenik. Kad tako svećenik nad njim obavi obred pomirenja, neka je čist.

21 Ako bude siromašan te ne mogne to priskrbiti, neka uzme samo jedno muško janje za žrtvu naknadnicu i neka se ono prinese kao žrtva prinosnica da se nad tim čovjekom izvrši obred pomirenja. I neka uzme samo desetinu efe najboljeg brašna zamiješena u ulju za žrtvu prinosnicu, jedan log ulja,

22 k tome dvije grlice ili dva golubića - prema svojim mogućnostima - jedno za žrtvu okajnicu, a drugo za žrtvu paljenicu.

23 Osam dana nakon svoga očišćenja neka ih donese svećeniku na ulaz u Šator sastanka pred Jahvu.

24 Neka svećenik uzme janje za žrtvu naknadnicu i log s uljem pa ih prinese pred Jahvom kao žrtvu prikaznicu.

25 Neka se onda zakolje janje žrtve naknadnice, a svećenik neka uzme njegove krvi i neka njome namaže resicu desnoga uha, palac desne ruke i palac desne noge onoga koji se čisti.

26 Poslije toga neka svećenik izlije ulje na dlan svoje lijeve ruke.

27 A onda neka od ulja što mu je na dlanu lijeve ruke obavi škropljenje sedam puta prstom svoje desne ruke pred Jahvom.

28 Od ulja iz svoje ruke neka svećenik, po krvi žrtve naknadnice, namaže resicu desnog uha, palac desne ruke i palac desne noge onoga koji se čisti.

29 Ostatak ulja što bude na dlanu neka svećenik stavi na glavu onoga koji se čisti, vršeći nad njim obred pomirenja pred Jahvom.

30 Neka zatim prinese jednu od dviju grlica ili jednoga od dvaju golubića - što je već mogao pribaviti -

31 kao žrtvu okajnicu, a drugu kao žrtvu paljenicu zajedno sa žrtvom prinosnicom. Neka tako svećenik izvrši obred pomirenja pred Jahvom nad onim koji se čisti."

32 To je propis za onoga koji je gubom zaražen a ne može priskrbiti sve za svoje očišćenje.

33 Jahve reče Mojsiju i Aronu:

34 "Kad uđete u kanaansku zemlju koju ću vam dati u posjed, a ja pustim gubu na koju kuću u zemlji što je budete zaposjeli,

35 onda onaj čija je kuća neka dođe svećeniku i kaže: 'Čini mi se da je moja kuća zaražena gubom.'

36 Neka svećenik naredi da se kuća isprazni prije nego on dođe da bolest pregleda, da ne bi sve što je u kući bilo proglašeno nečistim; poslije toga neka svećenik uđe da kuću pregleda.

37 Ako nakon pregleda zapazi da je bolest na kućnim zidovima od zelenkastih ili crvenkastih udubina i pričini mu se da idu dublje od površine zida,

38 neka svećenik iziđe iz kuće na kućna vrata i neka kuću zatvori sedam dana.

39 Sedmi dan neka svećenik opet dođe i pregleda: ako se bolest bude proširila po zidovima kuće,

40 neka svećenik naredi da se povadi zaraženo kamenje i baci na koje nečisto mjesto izvan grada.

41 Zatim neka zapovjedi da se svi unutarnji zidovi kuće ostružu i da se sastrugani prah baci na koje nečisto mjesto izvan grada.

42 Onda neka se uzme drugo kamenje i umetne namjesto onoga kamenja. Potom neka se uzme druga žbuka i kuća ponovo ožbuka.

43 Ako se pošast na kući opet pojavi pošto je kamenje bilo povađeno i kuća ostrugana i opet ožbukana,

44 neka svećenik ode da pregleda: bude li se bolest po kući proširila, to je onda u kući zarazna guba; kuća je nečista.

45 Neka se kuća poruši, a njezino kamenje, njezina drvena građa i sva žbuka s kuće neka se odnese izvan grada na koje nečisto mjesto.

46 Tko uđe u kuću dok je zatvorena, neka je nečist do večeri.

47 Tko u kući legne, mora oprati svoju odjeću. I tko u kući objeduje, mora svoju odjeću oprati.

48 Ako li svećenik dođe i vidi da se bolest po kući nije proširila pošto je kuća opet bila ožbukana, neka svećenik kuću proglasi čistom, jer se bolest izliječila.

49 A za očišćenje kuće neka uzme: dvije ptice, cedrovine, grimizna prediva i izopa.

50 Jednu od ptica neka zakolje nad živom vodom u zemljanoj posudi.

51 Potom neka uzme: cedrovinu, izop, grimizno predivo i pticu živu te ih zamoči u krv ptice zaklane i u živu vodu pa kuću poškropi sedam puta.

52 Očistivši tako od grijeha kuću krvlju ptice, živom vodom, živom pticom, cedrovinom, izopom i grimiznim predivom,

53 neka pticu živu pusti izvan grada na otvorenu polju. Kad tako obavi obred pomirenja nad kućom, bit će čista."

54 To je propis za svaku vrst gube i šuge,

55 za gubu odjeće ili kuće,

56 za otekline, lišaje ili pjege.

57 On određuje vrijeme nečistoće i čistoće. To je zakon o gubi.

Arcana Coelestia #9506

9506. 'And you shall make a mercy-seat from pure gold' means the hearing and reception of all things that belong to worship arising from the good of love. This is clear from the meaning of 'the mercy-seat' as the cleansing from evils or forgiveness of sins, consequently the hearing and reception of all things that belong to worship, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'gold' as the good of love, dealt with in 113, 1551, 1552, 5658, 6914. The truth that 'the mercy-seat' means the cleansing from evils and forgiveness of sins is clear from those places in the Word where propitiation or expiation is referred to. 1 The reason why the hearing and reception of all things belonging to worship is also meant is that only those who have made propitiation or expiation, that is, been cleansed from evils, are heard by the Lord and have their worship accepted by Him; it does not happen with those who are steeped in evils, that is, have not made expiation or propitiation. Therefore also Aaron was not allowed to approach the mercy-seat until he had been cleansed and had made propitiation for himself and the people.

[2] The truth that 'the mercy-seat' consequently means the hearing and reception of all things that belong to worship is also clear from the consideration that Jehovah spoke to Moses over the mercy-seat between the cherubs. The reason why worship arising from the good of love is that which is received is that no one is allowed to enter heaven and so approach the Lord other than a person who is governed by good, that is to say, by the good of love to the Lord and the good of charity towards the neighbour, see 8516, 8539, 8722, 8772, 9139, 9227, 9230, 9274; no one else is heard nor can anyone else's worship be received. This also explains why there were cherubs over the mercy-seat; for watchfulness and providence are meant by 'the cherubs', guarding against access to the Lord except through the good of love, that is, guarding against entrance into heaven by any apart from those who are governed by good, and also guarding against those in hell gaining access to the inhabitants of heaven and doing them harm. All this shows what was meant by the presence of the mercy-seat over the ark and by that of the cherubs over the mercy-seat, and by the fact that the mercy-seat and the cherubs too were made from pure gold; for 'gold' means the good of love, and 'the ark' heaven where the Lord is.

[3] The truth that 'the mercy-seat' means the cleansing from evils, and so the forgiveness of sins, is clear from places in the Word where 'propitiation' or 'expiation' 2 is referred to, as in David,

O Jehovah, expiate our sins for Your name's sake. Psalms 79:9.

In the same author,

He, being merciful, has expiated iniquity. Psalms 78:38.

In the same author,

You will expiate me with hyssop and I shall become clean; You will wash me and I shall be made whiter than snow. Psalms 51:7.

In Isaiah,

Evil will come upon you, which you will not know how to ward off; calamity will befall you, which you will not be able to expiate. Isaiah 47:11.

And in Moses,

Sing, O nations, the people of Him who will avenge the blood of His servants, and will expiate His land, His people. Deuteronomy 32:43.

[4] Expiations were effected by means of sacrifices; and it says that when they were offered the priest would expiate him from sin, and he would be pardoned, 3 Leviticus 4:26, 31, 35; 5:6, 10, 13, 16, 18; 6:7; 9:7; 15:15, 30. Expiation was also effected by 'silver', Exodus 30:16; Psalms 49:7. Hence also the day of expiations 4 before the feast of tabernacles, Leviticus 23:27-32. But it should be recognized that none of those expiations constituted a real cleansing from evils or forgiveness of sins; it only represented it. For every religious observance among the Israelite and Jewish nation was merely representative of the Lord, His kingdom and Church, and such realities as belong to heaven and the Church. How representations brought such realities to angels' awareness in heaven, see 9229.

[5] Since the cleansing from evils and forgiveness of sins was meant by 'the mercy-seat', the hearing and reception of all things that belonged to worship was also meant; for one who has been cleansed from evils is heard and his worship is received. This was represented by Jehovah's speaking above the mercy-seat to Moses and His commanding what the children of Israel should do, as is clear from verse 22 of the present chapter, where it says,

And I will meet with you there, and I will speak to you from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubs which are over the ark of the Testimony, [declaring] everything that I shall command you for the children of Israel.

The like occurs elsewhere,

Whenever Moses spoke to Jehovah he heard the voice speaking from above the mercy-seat that was over the ark of the Testimony, from between the two cherubs. Numbers 7:89.

The fact that a person was heard and his worship was received when he had been cleansed from evils was represented by Aaron's not going into the holy place within the veil before the mercy-seat unless he had first made expiation for himself and the people, by ceremonial washing, sacrifices, incense, and blood, as stated in Leviticus 16:2-16, which concludes,

In this way he shall expiate the holy place from the uncleannesses of the children of Israel, and from their transgressions in regard of all their sins.

It also says in verse 2 that Jehovah would appear at the mercy-seat 'in the cloud', meaning in Divine Truth adjusted to people's ability to receive and understand it, such as the Word is in the sense of the letter, 4060, 4391, 5922, 6343 (end), 6752, 8106, 8443, 8781.

Фусноти:

1. The Latin word propitiatorium rendered the mercy-seat may be translated more literally as the place of propitiation.

2. The Hebrew verb behind expiate, used in an uncommon way in the following quotations, means cover over. The Latin verb generally means atone for or purify what is defiled.

3. i.e. the priest shall make atonement for the person's sin, and the person will stand forgiven

4. Generally known as the day of atonement
