1 "Tee heille näin, pyhittääksesi heidät pappeina palvelemaan minua: Ota mullikka ja kaksi virheetöntä oinasta

2 ja happamatonta leipää ja öljyyn leivottuja happamattomia kakkuja ja öljyllä voideltuja happamattomia ohukaisia; leivo ne lestyistä nisujauhoista.

3 Ja pane ne samaan koriin ja tuo ne korissa, samalla kertaa kuin tuot mullikan ja kaksi oinasta.

4 Tuo sitten Aaron poikinensa ilmestysmajan ovelle ja pese heidät vedellä.

5 Ja ota vaatteet ja pue Aaronin ylle ihokas ja kasukan viitta ja kasukka ja rintakilpi; ja sido hänen ympärilleen kasukan vyö.

6 Pane myös käärelakki hänen päähänsä ja kiinnitä pyhä otsalehti käärelakkiin.

7 Ja ota voiteluöljyä ja vuodata hänen päähänsä ja voitele hänet.

8 Ja tuo hänen poikansa esille ja pue heidän ylleen ihokkaat.

9 Ja vyötä heidät vyöllä, sekä Aaron että hänen poikansa, ja sido päähineet heidän päähänsä, että pappeus olisi heillä ikuisena säätynä. Vihi näin virkaansa Aaron ja hänen poikansa.

10 Ja tuo mullikka ilmestysmajan eteen, ja Aaron poikineen laskekoon kätensä mullikan pään päälle.

11 Ja teurasta sitten mullikka Herran edessä, ilmestysmajan ovella.

12 Ja ota mullikan verta ja sivele sitä sormellasi alttarin sarviin; mutta kaikki muu veri vuodata alttarin juurelle.

13 Ja ota kaikki sisälmyksiä peittävä rasva ja maksanlisäke ja molemmat munuaiset ynnä niiden päällä oleva rasva, ja polta ne alttarilla.

14 Mutta mullikan liha, nahka ja rapa polta tulessa leirin ulkopuolella. Se on syntiuhri.

15 Ja ota toinen oinaista, ja Aaron poikinensa laskekoon kätensä sen oinaan pään päälle.

16 Teurasta sitten oinas ja ota sen veri ja vihmo se alttarille ympärinsä;

17 ja leikkele oinas määräkappaleiksi ja pese sen sisälmykset ja jalat ja pane ne kappaleiden ja pään päälle.

18 Ja polta koko oinas alttarilla. Se on polttouhri Herralle, se on suloisesti tuoksuva uhri Herralle.

19 Ota sitten toinen oinas, ja Aaron poikinensa laskekoon kätensä oinaan pään päälle.

20 Ja teurasta oinas ja ota sen verta ja sivele Aaronin ja hänen poikiensa oikean korvan lehteen ja oikean käden peukaloon ja heidän oikean jalkansa isoonvarpaaseen, mutta vihmo muu veri alttarille ympärinsä.

21 Ja ota alttarilla olevaa verta ja voiteluöljyä ja pirskoita Aaronin ja hänen vaatteidensa päälle, ja samoin hänen poikiensa ja heidän vaatteidensa päälle. Näin hän tulee pyhäkölle pyhitetyksi, sekä hän itse että hänen vaatteensa, ja samoin hänen poikansa ja hänen poikiensa vaatteet.

22 Ota sitten oinaasta rasva ja rasvahäntä ja sisälmyksiä peittävä rasva ja maksanlisäke ja molemmat munuaiset ynnä niiden päällä oleva rasva ja oikea reisi, sillä tämä on vihkiäisoinas.

23 Ja ota pyöreä leipä ja öljyyn leivottu kakku ja ohukainen happamattomien leipien korista, joka on Herran edessä.

24 Ja pane kaikki nämä Aaronin käsiin ja hänen poikiensa käsiin, että toimitettaisiin niiden heilutus Herran edessä.

25 Ota ne sitten heidän käsistään ja polta alttarilla, polttouhrin päällä, suloiseksi tuoksuksi Herran edessä. Se on Herran uhri.

26 Ja ota rintaliha Aaronin vihkiäisoinaasta ja toimituta sen heilutus Herran edessä; ja se olkoon sinun osasi.

27 Näin sinun on pyhitettävä heilutettu rintaliha ja anniksi annettu reisi, se, mitä on heilutettu ja anniksi annettu Aaronin ja hänen poikiensa vihkiäisoinaasta.

28 Ja ne olkoot Aaronin ja hänen poikiensa ikuinen osuus, israelilaisilta saatu, sillä se on anti. Se olkoon israelilaisten anti heidän yhteysuhreistaan, heidän antinsa Herralle.

29 Aaronin pyhät vaatteet tulkoot hänen pojillensa hänen jälkeensä, että heidät niissä voideltaisiin ja vihittäisiin virkaansa.

30 Seitsemänä päivänä on sen hänen pojistaan, joka tulee papiksi hänen sijaansa, puettava ne ylleen, kun hän menee ilmestysmajaan toimittamaan virkaansa pyhäkössä.

31 Ja ota vihkiäisoinas ja keitä sen liha pyhässä paikassa.

32 Ja Aaron poikinensa syököön ilmestysmajan ovella oinaan lihan ynnä leivän, joka on korissa.

33 He syökööt sen, mitä käytettiin heidän sovittamisekseen, kun heidät vihittiin virkaansa ja pyhitettiin, mutta syrjäinen älköön sitä syökö, sillä se on pyhää.

34 Jos jotakin jää tähteeksi vihkiäislihasta tai leivästä seuraavaan aamuun, polta tähteeksi jäänyt tulessa; älköön sitä syötäkö, sillä se on pyhää.

35 Tee näin Aaronille ja hänen pojillensa, aivan niinkuin minä olen sinua käskenyt. Seitsemän päivää kestäköön heidän vihkimisensä.

36 Ja uhraa joka päivä syntiuhrimullikka sovitukseksi, ja puhdista alttari toimittamalla sen sovitus ja voitele se pyhittääksesi sen.

37 Seitsemänä päivänä toimita alttarin sovitus ja pyhitä se. Näin tulee alttarista korkeasti-pyhä; jokainen, joka alttariin koskee, on pyhäkölle pyhitetty.

38 Ja uhraa alttarilla tämä: kaksi vuodenvanhaa karitsaa joka päivä, ainiaan.

39 Uhraa toinen karitsa aamulla ja toinen karitsa iltahämärässä,

40 ja kumpaakin karitsaa kohti kymmenennes lestyjä jauhoja, sekoitettuna neljännekseen hiin-mittaa survomalla saatua öljyä, ja juomauhriksi neljännes hiin-mittaa viiniä.

41 Ja uhraa toinen karitsa iltahämärässä; uhrattakoon se toimittamalla samankaltainen ruokauhri ja juomauhri kuin aamullakin, suloisesti tuoksuvaksi uhriksi Herralle.

42 Tämä olkoon teillä jokapäiväinen polttouhri sukupolvesta sukupolveen ilmestysmajan ovella Herran edessä, jossa minä ilmestyn teille puhuakseni sinun kanssasi.

43 Siinä minä ilmestyn israelilaisille, ja se on oleva minun kirkkauteni pyhittämä.

44 Ja minä pyhitän ilmestysmajan ja alttarin; ja minä pyhitän Aaronin poikinensa pappeina palvelemaan minua.

45 Ja minä asun israelilaisten keskellä ja olen heidän Jumalansa.

46 Ja he tulevat tietämään, että minä olen Herra, heidän Jumalansa, joka vein heidät pois Egyptin maasta, asuakseni heidän keskellään. Minä olen Herra, heidän Jumalansa."

10053. 'It is a burnt offering to Jehovah' means the glorification of the Lord's Human. This is clear from the representation of 'a burnt offering' as the glorification of the Lord's Human. The Jewish nation had sacrifices and burnt offerings; the sacrifices served to mean purification from evils and falsities and the implantation of truth, but burnt offerings served to mean the joining of truth to good, thus complete regeneration. In the highest sense however, in which the Lord is the subject, sacrifices meant the ejection of evils and falsities from His Human derived from the mother and the implantation of Divine Truth from the Divine Good that was within Him, while the burnt offerings meant the uniting of Divine Truth to Divine Good. This uniting is what should be understood by glorification. For when He was in the world the Lord made His Human Divine Truth, and also, by uniting this in stages to the Divine Good that was within Him and was the Essential Being (Esse) of His life, He also made His Human Divine Good, thus one with Jehovah. The Essential Being of His life was that which as it exists with others is called the soul from the father; and it was Divine Good itself or Divine Love. But regarding these matters, see what has been shown in the places referred to in 9194, 9315(end), 9528(end). As regards the Lord's expulsion of everything human derived from the mother, till at length He was not her son, see 9315 (end); and as regards 'the Son of Man', which the Lord calls Himself, that He is not Mary's son but Divine Truth, 9807.

[2] Glorification, where the Lord is the subject, means uniting His Human to Divinity itself that was within Him, thus to Jehovah His Father; and by uniting them He also made His Human Divine Good. This is clear from places in the Word which use the terms 'glory' and 'glorification' in reference to Jehovah or the Lord, as in Isaiah,

The glory of Jehovah will be revealed, and all flesh will see it together; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken. Isaiah 40:5.

In the same prophet,

I Jehovah have called You in righteousness, to open the blind eyes, to bring the bound out of prison. I am Jehovah, that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another. Isaiah 42:6-8.

And in the same prophet,

Jehovah will arise over You, and His glory will be seen over You. Nations will walk to Your light. Isaiah 60:2-3.

In these places the Lord is the subject, 'the glory of Jehovah' being used to mean the Lord in respect of Divine Truth; for Jehovah's glory is Divine Truth emanating from the Lord, 9429. That Divine Truth does not come from any other source is the Lord's teaching in John,

You have never heard the Father's voice nor seen His shape. John 5:37.

And since He is the Lord He is Jehovah Himself, for He says, 'I am Jehovah, that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another'.

[3] For this reason also the Lord is called 'the King of glory' in David,

Lift up your heads, O gates, and be lifted up, O ancient doors 1 , and the King of glory will come in. Who is this King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle. Psalms 24:7-10.

Here the Lord is called 'the King of glory' by virtue of Divine Truth, with which He fought against, overcame, and subdued the hells. This was accomplished by His Human when He was in the world, see 9715, 9809, 10019. This is why He is called 'Jehovah strong and mighty in battle', and also a mighty one or 'hero' in Isaiah,

To us a Boy is born, to us a Son is given; His name is God, Hero, Father of Eternity. Isaiah 9:6.

[4] The Lord Himself teaches that Jehovah's glory is the Lord in respect of Divine Truth emanating from His Divine Good, which is Jehovah or the Father, in John,

The Word became flesh, and we saw His glory, glory as of the Only Begotten from the Father. John 1:14.

Here, where it is self-evident that the Lord is meant by the Word which became flesh, 'the Word' is Divine Truth, and so too is 'glory'. In Matthew,

The Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father. Matthew 16:27.

And in Luke,

Jesus said to the disciples, Ought not the Christ to have suffered this and to enter into His glory? Luke 24:26.

'Entering into His glory' means being united to Divine Good which was within Him, thus to Jehovah or His Father. For Jehovah the Father is God's Essential Being (Esse), and God in His Essential Being is Divine Love, thus also Divine Good; and the uniting of the Human to that Good is meant by 'entering into His glory'.

[5] From this it is evident what 'being glorified' means in the following places:

In John,

The Holy Spirit was not yet because Jesus was not yet glorified. John 7:39.

And in the same gospel,

These things Jesus' disciples did not know, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered ... . Jesus said, The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. And He said, Father, glorify Your name. [Then] a voice came from heaven, I have both glorified it and will glorify it again. John 12:16, 23, 27-28.

And in the same gospel,

After Judas went out Jesus said, Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him. And God will glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him at once. John 13:31-32.

From these places it is evident that glorification is the uniting of the Lord's Human to Divinity itself which was within Him and is called Jehovah the Father, for it is said that 'God will glorify Him in Himself'. It is also evident from those places that the uniting was fully accomplished by the passion of the Cross, which was the last of His temptations. For the Lord glorified His Human by means of conflicts with hell, which are temptations, see the places referred to in 9528, 9937.

[6] The Lord Himself teaches that when He has been glorified Divine Truth emanates from Him, in John,

The Holy Spirit was not yet because Jesus was not yet glorified. John 7:39.

And in the same gospel,

The Paraclete, the Spirit of truth, whom I will send to you will not speak from Himself. He will glorify Me, for He will receive from what is Mine and declare it to you; all things whatever that the Father has are Mine. John 16:13-15, 28.

'The Spirit of truth' is Divine Truth emanating from the Lord, 9818. The uniting of the Human to the Divine within Him is also described here by the declaration that all things the Father has are His, and elsewhere by the declarations that the Father and He are one and that the Father is in Him and He is in the Father, John 10:30; 14:10-11; see 3704. Thus the glorification or uniting was reciprocal, which too is the Lord's teaching in John,

Father, glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You. John 17:1.

'Father' is the Divinity itself that was within Him, and 'Son' is the Divine Human.

'The Father' is Divine Good which is within the Lord, see 3704, 7499.

Jehovah in the Word is the Lord, 2921, 6303, 8865.

The Lord is Divinity itself, or Jehovah, in a Human form, see the places referred to in 9315.

6343. 'You are my might' means that through faith comes the power which good possesses. This is clear from the representation of Reuben, to whom 'you' refers here, as faith in the understanding, referred to immediately above in 6342; and from the meaning of 'might' as the power which good possesses. As regards power - the power to think and will, perceive, do what is good, believe, dispel falsities and evils - it comes wholly from good through truth, good being its primary source and truth merely the channel through which it comes, 3563, 4931, 5623. The reason the power that good possesses is meant is that 'might' means that power, whereas 'strength' means the power of truth. Thus it is that 'the beginning of my strength', which comes next, means the initial power that truth possesses; for the word used in the original language to express 'strength' has reference in the Word to truth, whereas the word used to express 'might' has reference to good.

[2] The fact that the Word is holy, extremely holy in its inner senses, is plainly evident from the consideration that the heavenly marriage, which is the marriage of goodness and truth, thus heaven itself, is present within every detail of the Word. In the inmost sense every detail embodies the marriage of the Lord's Divine Human with His kingdom and Church; indeed the theme in the highest sense of all is the union of the Divine Itself and the Divine Human within the Lord. These extremely holy subjects contained in every detail of the Word are a plain indication that the Word has come down from the Divine. The truth of all this may be recognized from the consideration that where good is spoken of, so too is truth, and where what is internal is spoken of, so too is what is external. Also, there are expressions which always mean good, those which always mean truth, and those which mean both - both good and truth. Or if they do not mean them directly, they are nevertheless used with reference to them or else imply them. And such reference of those expressions to good and truth or their meaning them directly shows that every detail, as has been stated, embodies the marriage of goodness and truth, which is the heavenly marriage, and that the inmost and highest sense holds the Divine marriage which exists in the Lord, thus holds the Lord Himself, within it.

[3] All this reveals itself in every part of the Word, yet not plainly except in those places where the repetition of some matter occurs that is no more than a change of words, as in the present chapter, where Reuben is dealt with,

You are my might, and the beginning of my strength.

Also,

Excelling in eminence and excelling in worth.

Here 'might' is used in reference to good, and 'strength' to truth; 'excelling in eminence' is used in reference to truth, and 'excelling in worth' to good. Likewise in the next verse regarding Reuben,

You went up to your father's bed; at that time you profaned it - he went up to my couch.

Similarly further on, where Simeon and Levi are dealt with,

Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce, and their wrath, for it is hard. I will divide them in Jacob, and will scatter them in Israel. Verse 7.

Here 'anger' means a turning away from good and 'wrath' a turning away from truth. 'Jacob' is the external aspect of the Church and 'Israel' the internal aspect of it. Then where Judah is dealt with,

Your brothers will praise you; your father's sons will bow down to you. Verse 8.

Further on,

He binds his young ass to the vine, and the foal of his she-ass to the outstanding vine; he washes his clothing in wine, and his garment in the blood of grapes. Verse 11.

Where Zebulun is dealt with,

He will dwell at the haven of the seas, and he will be at the haven of ships. Verse 13.

Where Dan is dealt with,

He will be a serpent on the road, a darting serpent on the path. Verse 17.

[4] Similar examples occur frequently in the Psalms and among the Prophets, as in Isaiah,

Babel will not be dwelt in ever again, it will not be lived in even from generation to generation. Its time is near and about to come, and its days will not be prolonged. Isaiah 13:20, 22.

In the same prophet,

Search from above in the Book of Jehovah, and read: None of these will be missing, not one will not be left longing for its mate; 1 for He has commanded with His mouth, and His Spirit has gathered them. The Same has cast the lot for them, and His hand has distributed to them by means of a measuring rod. Even for ever they will possess it, from generation to generation they will dwell in it. Isaiah 34:16-17.

More examples may be found in a thousand other places. Anyone who does not know that expressions are used in the Word to mean spiritual and celestial realities, and that some are used to refer to good but others to truth, will inevitably think that such usages are no more than repetitions that serve solely as fillers and so are in themselves meaningless. Thus it is that people who think ill of the Word also add this to the arguments they use in vilifying it. Yet utterly Divine things are concealed within those repetitions; that is to say, the heavenly marriage, which is heaven itself, and the Divine Marriage, which is the Lord Himself, are concealed in them. This [highest] sense is 'the glory' in which the Lord is present, while the literal sense is 'the cloud' in which that glory is present, Matthew 24:30; Luke 21:27. See Preface to Genesis 18, and also 5922.
