1 Ja Herra puhui Mosekselle ja Aaronille, sanoen:

2 Puhukaat Israelin lapsille, ja sanokaat heille: koska miehellä on lihansa juoksu, on hän saastainen.

3 Ja silloin on hän saastainen siitä juoksusta, koska hänen lihansa juoksee taikka tulee tukituksi siitä vuotamisesta; niin se on saastaisuus.

4 Jokainen vuode, jossa hän lepää, jolla on juoksu, on saastainen, ja kaikki se, jonka päällä hän istuu, saastutetaan.

5 Ja se, joka sattuu hänen vuoteesensa, pitää pesemän vaatteensa, ja viruttaman hänensä vedellä, ja pitää oleman saastaisen ehtoosen asti.

6 Se joka istuu sillä istuimella millä hän on istunut, jolla juoksu on, hänen pitää pesemän vaatteensa, ja viruttaman itsensä vedellä, ja oelman saastaisen ehtoosen asti.

7 Se joka sattuu hänen lihaansa, hän peskään vaatteensa, ja viruttakaan hänensä vedellä, ja olkaan saastainen ehtoosen asti.

8 Jos hän sylkee puhtaan päälle, niin se pitää pesemän vaatteensa, ja viruttaman hänensä vedellä, ja oleman saastainen ehtoosen asti.

9 Ja koko se satula, jolla hän ajaa, pitää oleman saastainen.

10 Ja se joka sattuu johonkuhun siihen, joka hänen allansa on ollut, pitää saastaisen oleman ehtoosen asti, ja joka niitä kantaa, pitää pesemän vaatteensa, ja viruttaman itsensä vedellä, ja oleman saastaisen ehtoosen asti.

11 Ja johonka hän, jolla juoksu on, tarttuu, ennen kuin hän kätensä pesee vedellä, sen pitää vaatteensa pesemän ja viruttaman itsensä vedellä, ja oleman saastaisen ehtoosen asti.

12 Jos hän tarttuu saviseen astiaan, se pitää rikottaman; mutta puu-astia pitää vedellä virutettaman.

13 Ja tultuansa puhtaaksi lihansa juoksusta, pitää hänen lukeman seitsemän päivää puhdistuksestansa, ja pitää pesemän vaatteensa, niin myös viruttaman itsensä juoksevalla vedellä, niin hän on puhdas.

14 Ja kahdeksantena päivänä pitää hänen ottaman parin mettisiä, eli kaksi kyhkyläisen poikaa, ja pitää tuoman Herran eteen seurakunnan majan ovella, ja antaman ne papille.

15 Ja papin pitää ne uhraaman, yhden rikosuhriksi, ja toisen polttouhriksi, ja sovittaman hänen Herran edessä hänen juoksustansa.

16 Koska miehestä siemen vuotaa unessa, hänen pitää pesemän koko ruumiinsa vedellä, ja oleman saastaisen ehtoosen asti.

17 Ja kaikki vaate, ja kaikki nahka, joka senkaltaisella siemenellä tahrattu on, pitää pestämän vedellä, ja oleman saastainen ehtoosen asti.

18 Ja vaimo, jonka tykönä senkaltainen mies makaa, jolla on siemenen juoksu, heidän pitää pesemän itsensä vedellä, ja oleman saastaiset ehtoosen asti.

19 Koska vaimolla on lihansa veren juoksu, pitää hänen erinänsä oleman seitsemän päivää, ja joka häneen sattuu, sen pitää saastaisen oleman ehtoosen asti.

20 Ja kaikki jonka päälllä hän lepää, niinkauvan kuin hän erinänsä on, pitää oleman saastainen, ja kaikki, jonka päällä hän istuu, pitää oleman saastainen.

21 Ja se, joka hänen vuoteesensa sattuu, pitää pesemän vaatteensa, ja viruttaman itsensä vedellä, ja oleman saastaisen ehtoosen asti.

22 Ja joka tarttuu johonkuhun, jonka päällä hän on istunut, hänen pitää pesemän vaatteensa, ja viruttaman itsensä vedellä, ja oleman saastaisen ehtoosen asti.

23 Jos jotakin osaa olla sen vuoteessa, eli istuimella, kussa hän istuu, ja joku siihen tarttuu, hänen pitää oleman saastaisen ehtoosen asti.

24 Ja jos joku mies leväten lepää hänen tykönänsä, siihen aikaa kuin hänen aikansa tulee, hänen pitää oleman saastaisen seitsemän päivää, ja koko hänen vuoteensa, jossa hän levännyt on, pitää oleman saastaisen.

25 Jos jonkun vaimon veren juoksu vuotaa kauvan aikaa, ei vaivoin niinkauvan kuin aika on, mutta myös ylitse sen ajan, hänen pitää oleman saastaisen niinkauvan kuin se vuotaa, niinkuin hänen oikialla vuotonsa ajalla.

26 Kaikki vuode, kussa hän lepää, niinkauvan kuin hän vuotaa, pitää oleman niinkuin oikian vuotonsa ajan vuode. Ja kaikki istuin, jonka päällä hän istuu, pitää oleman saastainen, niinkuin se hänen oikiana vuotamisensa aikana on saastainen.

27 Se joka rupee johonkuhun niihin, hänen pitää oleman saastaisen, ja pitää pesemän vaatteensa, ja viruttaman itsensä vedellä, ja oleman saastaisen ehtoosen asti.

28 Koska hän on puhdas vuotamisesta, niin hänen pitää lukeman seitsemän päivää, ja sitte hänen pitää oleman puhtaan.

29 Mutta kahdeksantena päivänä pitää hänen ottaman parin mettisiä eli kaksi kyhkyläisen poikaa, ja viemän papille, seurakunnan majan oven edessä.

30 Ja papin pitää uhraaman yhden rikosuhriksi, ja toisen polttouhriksi, ja sovittaman hänen Herran edessä saastaisuutensa juoksusta.

31 Niin teidän pitää eroittaman Israelin lapsia heidän saastaisuudestansa, ettei he kuolisi saastaisuudessa, koska he minun majani saastuttavat, joka heidän seassansa on.

32 Tämä on sääty vuotamisesta, ja siitä, jolta (unessa) siemen vuotaa, niin että hän siitä tulee saastaiseksi,

33 Ja siitä, jolla on veren juoksu, ja siitä, jolla joku vuotaminen on, miehestä eli vaimosta: ja koska mies lepää saastaisen tykönä.

10208. 'And Aaron shall make expiation on its horns' means purification from evils by means of the truths of faith which spring from the good of love. This is clear from the meaning of 'making expiation' as purifying from evils, dealt with in 9506; from the representation of 'Aaron' as the Lord in respect of Divine Good, and in respect of the work of salvation, dealt with in 9806, 9946, 10017; and from the meaning of 'horns' as powers, dealt with in 10182, and also outer levels, 10186. The reason why purification by means of the truths of faith which spring from the good of love is meant is that expiation was made by means of blood, and 'blood' means the truth of faith emanating from the good of love, 4735, 7317, 7326, 7846, 7850, 7877, 9127, 9393, 10026, 10033, 10047; and all purification from evils is accomplished by means of the truths of faith that spring from the good of love, 2799, 5954(end), 7044, 7918, 9088. The fact that expiations were made by the blood on the horns of the altar of burnt offering and the altar of incense is clear in Leviticus 4:3, 7, 18, 25, 30, 34; 16:18.

[2] The altars were expiated in this way because holy things were polluted by the sins of the people. The people represented the Church; therefore those places which were the Church's, called its sanctuaries, such as the altar and the tent, together with their contents, were defiled whenever those people were guilty of sin; for those sanctuaries were places belonging to the Church. This is also made clear in Moses,

You shall separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness, in order that they may not die in their uncleanness when they pollute My dwelling-place which is in their midst. Leviticus 15:31.

And in another place,

Aaron shall expiate the holy place from the uncleanness of the children of Israel. Thus shall he expiate the holy sanctuary, and the tent of meeting, and the altar. Leviticus 16:16, 33.

[3] The implications of all this are that those things which are called the holy things of the Church are not holy unless they are received with holy respect; for unless they are received with that respect what is Divine does not flow into them. Anything holy that exists with people is holy only by virtue of what is Divine flowing into it; sacred shrines for example, the altars there, and the bread and wine for the Holy Supper are made holy solely by the presence of the Lord. Therefore if the Lord is unable to be present there on account of the people's sins, those things have no holiness because they lack what is Divine. Furthermore the holy things of the Church are rendered unholy by sins because sins take what is Divine away from them.

[4] This then is the reason why sanctuaries are said to have been polluted by the uncleanness of the people and why those places therefore had to be expiated annually. The reason why the expiations were made with blood on the horns of the altars and not on the altars themselves was that the horns were the extremities of them, and nothing of a person has been purified unless the extremities or what is outermost has been purified. For inner things flow into those that are outermost, but the state of the outermost conditions the inflow. Consequently if what is outermost has been perverted the things within become perverted; for when those inner things flow into outermost ones, the recipient forms into which they descend are conditioned by the state in which the outermost things exist. The situation is like that when the eye is in bad condition; the power of sight which comes from within sees things only as that eye-condition will allow. Or it is like that when the arms are in bad shape; the powers which come from within exert themselves only as that condition will allow. Consequently if the natural man has been perverted the spiritual lacks the opportunity to function properly within the natural man, and this is why the spiritual or internal man is closed.

[5] But see what has been shown already on these matters, namely the following;

If a person is to be purified the natural or external man must be purified, see the places referred to in 9325(end).

This is because the path that all influx takes is from the internal to the external, and not vice versa, 5119, 6322.

For it is on the natural level within a person that influx from the spiritual world reaches its destination, 5651.

The outward aspects of a person have been formed to serve the inward, 5947, 9216, 9828.

Thus the external man must be altogether subject to the internal, 5786, 6275, 6284, 6299.

This is because the internal man is in heaven and the external man is in the world, 3167, 10156.

And the external man by himself or left to himself alone acts contrary to the internal, 3913, 3928.

In addition to all this, see 9701-9709 stating what the internal man is and what the external man is.

7877. 'And I will see the blood' means the discernment of that truth by those who inflict damnation. This is clear from the meaning of 'seeing' as understanding and discerning, dealt with in 2150, 2325, 2807, 3764, 4403-4421, 4567, 4723, 5400 (its being the discernment by those who inflict damnation is shown in what follows); and from the meaning of 'the blood' as truth that belongs to the good of innocence, as above in 7846.

[2] What truth belonging to the good of innocence is must be stated. The good of innocence is the good of love to the Lord; for those governed by this love have innocence within them. This explains why those who are in the inmost or third heaven, being governed by love to the Lord, possess more innocence than all others. Because of their innocence those who are there look to others like young children, and yet they are the wisest of all in heaven, see 2306; for innocence resides within wisdom, 2305, 3495, 4797. The truth belonging to the good of innocence which exists with them is not the truth of faith but the good of charity. Those in the third heaven do not know what faith is, nor consequently what the truth of faith is; for they perceive intuitively the truth that composes faith, and in perceiving it intuitively know immediately that it is indeed the truth. They never engage in reasoning about whether it is such, let alone argue with one another about it. What is perceived in that intuitive way does not then come to be acquired knowledge. It is different with spiritual angels in the second heaven. The truth of faith leads them to the good of charity. They do therefore engage in reasoning about whether it is the truth or not, since they have no intuitive perception of whether it is or not. Truths then become knowledge they have acquired and are called matters of doctrine composing faith.

[3] For more about those in the inmost or third heaven, about their state being such that they perceive intuitively what the truth of faith is and do not therefore add it to their acquired knowledge, see 202, 337, 2715, 2718, 3246, 4448.

Why it is that Jehovah's words 'I will see', thus something said about Himself, mean discernment by those who inflict damnation, that is, by spirits from hell, may become evident from what has been shown before about the attribution of evil to Jehovah or the Lord, though in fact no evil at all comes from Him but from hell, see 2447, 6071, 6991, 6997, 7533, 7632, 7643. Evil which is permitted to exist seems to come from Him who permits it, since He is able to remove it. That is how it is here when it says that the firstborn of the Egyptians were put to death. It is attributed to Jehovah, for it says in verses 12 and 29,

I will go through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt.

And it happened at midnight, that Jehovah struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from Pharaoh's firstborn who was to sit on his throne, even to the firstborn of the prisoner who was in the dungeon.

Yet in the present verse the one to do this is called 'the destroyer',

The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and I will see the blood and will pass you by, and the plague will not be on you for the destroyer.

[4] It is similar with the vastation undergone by the evil in the next life, their damnation, and their being cast into hell, which are meant in the internal sense by the plagues, the death of the firstborn, and their being drowned in the Sea Suph. Jehovah or the Lord does not subject anyone to vastation, still less damn or cast into hell. Rather an evil spirit himself is the one who does it to himself, that is, the evil within him does it. This then is why 'I will see the blood' means a discernment by those who inflict damnation.

[5] As regards permission, it is impossible to state briefly the nature of it since a very large number of arcana are involved in it. When the wicked suffer damnation and torment the Lord's permission is not like that of one who desires what happens to them. It is like that of one who does not desire it yet cannot help them because His end in view, which is the salvation of the entire human race, is urgent and prevents Him from helping. For if He were to help them, that would be doing ill, which is completely contrary to the Divine. But more on these matters will in the Lord's Divine mercy be stated elsewhere.
