1 Ja Herra puhui Mosekselle, sanoen:

2 Jos joku sielu tekee syntiä ja rikkoo kovasti Herraa vastaan, kieltäen lähimmäiseltänsä sen, minkä hän hänen haltuunsa antanut on, eli sen, jonka hän hänelle (muutoin) käteen antanut on, taikka jonka hän väkivallalla ottanut on, eli vääryydellä on saattanut allensa:

3 Eli sen joka kadotettu oli, löytänyt on, ja kieltää sen väärällä valalla, eli mikä ikänänsä se olis, jossa ihminen lähimmäistänsä vastaan rikkoo;

4 Koska hän niin rikkoo ja tulee vikapääksi, niin pitää hänen antaman jällensä, mitä hän väkivallalla ottanut on ja vääryydellä on saattanut allensa eli sen mikä hänen haltuunsa annettu oli, eli kadotetun kuin hän löytänyt on,

5 Eli jonka tähden hän väärän valan tehnyt on, sen pitää hänen kaikki tyynni antaman jällensä ja vielä sitte viidennen osan päälliseksi: sille, jonka se oma oli, pitää hänen sen antaman vikauhrinsa päivänä.

6 Mutta vikauhrinsa pitää hänen tuoman Herralle: virheettömän oinaan laumasta, sinun arvios jälkeen vikauhriksi, papin tykö.

7 Ja papin pitää sovittaman hänen Herran edessä, niin hänelle annetaan anteeksi, mitä ikänänsä se olis, kaikista niistä mitä hän tehnyt on, jossa hän itsensä vikapääksi saatti.

8 Ja Herra puhui Mosekselle, sanoen:

9 Käske Aaronille ja hänen pojillensa sanoen: tämä on polttouhrin sääty: polttouhrin pitää palaman alttarilla kaiken yötä aamuun asti. Ja alttarilla tulen pitää sen päällä palaman.

10 Ja papin pitää yllensä pukeman liinahameen, ja vetämän liinaisen alusvaatteen ihonsa päälle, ja korjaaman tuhan alttarilta, sitte kuin tuli polttouhrin kuluttanut on, ja paneman sen alttarin viereen.

11 Ja sitte pitää riisuman vaatteensa, ja toisiin vaatteisiin itsensä pukeman, ja sitte tuhan viemän ulos leiristä puhtaaseen paikkaan.

12 Tuli pitää palaman alttarilla, ja ei koskaan sammuman. Ja papin pitää halot sen päällä joka aamu sytyttämän, ja hänen pitää asettaman polttouhrin sen päälle, ja polttaman kiitosuhrin lihavuuden sen päällä.

13 Tuli pitää alinomaa palaman alttarilla, ja ei koskaan sammutettaman.

14 Ja tämä on ruokauhrin sääty, jonka Aaronin pojat uhraaman pitää alttarilla, Herran eteen:

15 Papin pitää ottaman pivon täyden sämpyläjauhoja ruokauhrista, ja öljystä, ja kaiken pyhän savun, joka ruokauhrin päällä on, ja sen polttaman alttarilla lepytyshajuksi ja muistoksi Herralle.

16 Ja sen tähteet pitää Aaronin poikinensa syömän: happamatoinna pitää se syötämän, pyhässä siassa, seurakunnan majan pihassa pitää heidän sen syömän.

17 Ja ei heidän pidä leipoman sitä hapatuksen kanssa; sillä se on heidän osansa, jonka minä heille minun tuliuhristani antanut olen: se pitää oleman kaikkein pyhin, niinkuin rikosuhri ja niinkuin vikauhri.

18 Jokainen miehenpuoli Aaronin lapsista pitää sen syömän. Se olkoon alinomainen sääty teidän sukukunnissanne Herran tuliuhrista. Jokainen kuin niihin rupee, se pitää pyhitetty oleman.

19 Ja Herra puhui Mosekselle, sanoen:

20 Tämän pitää oleman Aaronin ja hänen poikainsa uhri, jonka heidän pitää uhraaman Herralle voidelluspäivänänsä: kymmenennen osan ephaa sämpyläjauhoja alinomaiseksi ruokauhriksi, puolen aamulla ja puolen ehtoolla.

21 Pannussa sinun sen tekemän pitää öljyn kanssa, ja sen kypsettynä tuoman: ja leivottuina kappaleina sinun sen uhraaman pitää, lepytyshajuksi Herralle.

22 Ja papin, joka hänen pojistansa hänen siaansa voideltu on, pitää sen tekemän. Tämä on ijankaikkinen sääty Herralle, se pitää kaikki poltettaman.

23 Sillä kaikki papin ruokauhri pitää kokonansa poltettaman, ei sitä pidä syötämän.

24 Ja Herra puhui Mosekselle, sanoen:

25 Puhu Aaronille ja hänen pojillensa, ja sano: tämä on rikosuhrin sääty: kussa paikassa polttouhri teurastetaan, siinä pitää myös rikosuhri teurastettaman Herran edessä, ja se on kaikkein pyhin.

26 Pappi, joka rikosuhria uhraa, pitää sen syömän: pyhällä sialla sen syötämän pitää, seurakunnan majan pihalla.

27 Kuka ikänänsä hänen lihaansa rupee, se pitää pyhitetty oleman, ja vaatteen, jonka päälle se veri priiskotetaan, pitää sinun pesemän pyhässä siassa.

28 Ja se saviastia, jossa se keitetään, pitää rikottaman. Jos se on vaskisessa padassa keitetty, niin se pitää hivutettaman, ja vedellä virutettaman.

29 Kaikki miehenpuolet papeista pitää syömän sen; sillä se on kaikkein pyhin.

30 Mutta kaikki se rikosuhri, jonka veri viedään seurakunnan majaan, sovinnoksi pyhään siaan, sitä ei pidä syötämän, vaan tulella poltettaman.

9965. 'That they may not bear iniquity and die' means the elimination of the whole of worship. This is clear from the meaning of 'bearing the iniquity', when the subject is the priestly office of Aaron and his sons, as a removal or shifting away of falsities and evils with those who are governed by good derived from the Lord, dealt with above in 9937. But when it speaks of them 'bearing iniquity and dying' the elimination of the whole of worship is meant, see 9928; for the representative worship died because nothing of it appeared any longer in heaven. The situation in all this may become clear from what has been stated and shown above in 9959-9961. They also died when they did not act in accordance with the statutes, 1 as is evident from Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu, who were devoured by fire from heaven when they did not take the fire of the altar to burn incense but foreign 2 fire, Leviticus 10:1-2ff. 'The fire of the altar' represented God's love, thus love from the Lord, whereas 'foreign fire' represented love from hell. The elimination of worship was meant by their burning incense with this fire and their consequent death. For the meaning of 'fire' as love, see 5215, 6832, 7324, 7575, 7852.

[2] Many places in the Word state that they would bear iniquity when they did not do things in accordance with the statutes, and by this was meant damnation because sins had not been removed. Not that they themselves were condemned on account of disobeying the statutes. Rather by doing so they eliminated representative worship and in so doing represented the damnation of those who remain in their sins. For none are condemned because they fail in their performance of outward religious observances, only because of evils in the heart, thus because of failing in such observances as a result of evil in the heart. This is what 'bearing iniquity' means in the following places: In Moses,

If a soul sins and acts against any of Jehovah's commandments regarding what ought not to be done, 3 though he does not know it, yet he will be guilty and will bear his iniquity. Leviticus 5:17-18.

Here the retention of evils and consequent damnation should not be understood literally by 'bearing iniquity', although that is the spiritual meaning; for it says 'though he does not know it', implying that what the person has done does not spring from evil in the heart.

[3] In the same author,

If any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offering is eaten at all on the third day, the one offering it will not be accepted. It is an abomination, and the soul that eats it will bear his iniquity, and will be cut off from his people. Leviticus 7:18; 19:7-8.

Here also 'bearing iniquity' means remaining in his sins and being as a result in a state of damnation. It does so not because the person ate some of his sacrifice on the third day, but because 'eating it on the third day' represented something abominable, namely an action leading to damnation. Thus 'bearing iniquity and being cut off from his people' represented the damnation of those who performed the abomination meant by that deed. Nevertheless there was no condemnation on account of his having eaten it, for interior evils that were represented are what condemn, not exterior actions in which those evils are not present.

[4] In the same author,

Every soul who eats a carcass 4 or that which has been torn, and does not wash his clothes and bathe his flesh shall bear his iniquity. Leviticus 17:15-16.

Since 'eating a carcass or that which has been torn' represented making evil or falsity one's own, the expression 'bearing iniquity' also has a representative meaning. In the same author,

If a man who is clean fails to keep the Passover, this soul shall be cut off from his people, because he did not bring the offering of Jehovah at its appointed time; he shall bear his sin. Numbers 9:13.

'The Passover' represented deliverance by the Lord from damnation, 7093 (end), 7867, 7995, 9286-9292; and 'the Passover supper' represented being joined to the Lord through the good of love, 7836, 7997, 8001. And since these things were represented it was decreed that anyone who did not keep the Passover should be cut off from his people and that he should bear his sin. The failure to keep it was not really so great a crime; rather it represented those who at heart refuse to accept the Lord and consequently deliverance from sins, and so who have no wish to be joined to Him through love. Thus it represented their damnation.

[5] In the same author,

The children of Israel shall not come near the tent of meeting, or else they will bear iniquity and die. 5 Levites shall perform the work of the tent of meeting, and these shall bear the iniquity. Numbers 18:22-23.

The reason why the people would bear iniquity and die if they were to go near the tent of meeting to do the work there was that they would thereby eliminate the representative worship assigned to the function of the priests. The function of the priests or the priestly office represented the Lord's entire work of salvation, 9809; and this is why it says that the Levites, who also were priests, should bear the people's iniquity, by which expiation or atonement was meant, that is, removal from evils and falsities with those who are governed by good derived from the Lord alone, 9937. 'Bearing iniquity' means real damnation when this expression is used in reference to those who perform evil deeds because their heart is evil, such as those mentioned in Leviticus 20:17, 19-20; 24:15-16; Ezekiel 18:20; 23:49; and elsewhere.

7093. 'And let them hold a feast to Me in the wilderness' means in order that they may worship the Lord with gladness of mind, in the obscurity of faith they live in. This is clear from the meaning of 'holding a feast' as worship offered with gladness of mind, dealt with below (the fact that the Lord was the one to whom they were to hold the feast and whom 'to Me', that is, Jehovah, is used to mean here, see just above in 7091); and from the meaning of 'the wilderness' as obscurity of faith, dealt with in 1708, 7055. Regarding those who belong to the spiritual Church, that they live in comparative obscurity of faith, see 2708, 2715-2718, 2831, 2849, 2935, 2937, 3241, 3246, 3833, 6289, 6500, 6945.

[2] The reason why 'holding a feast' means offering worship with gladness of mind is that they were to hold the feast three days' journey away from Egypt, thus not in a state when molested by falsities but in a state of freedom. For a person who is delivered from falsities and from the distress felt at that time gives thanks to God with gladness of mind, and in so doing holds a feast. Furthermore the feasts which had been instituted among those people, three a year, are also said to have been instituted in remembrance of their deliverance from slavery in Egypt, by which in the spiritual sense is meant in remembrance of deliverance from molestation by falsities through the Lord's Coming into the world. They were also told to be glad on these occasions, as is evident in Moses where the feast of tabernacles is dealt with,

At the feast of tabernacles you shall take 1 on the first day the fruit of a fine tree, 2 fronds of palm trees, the bough of a thick tree, and willows of the powerful stream; and you shall be glad before Jehovah your God seven days. Leviticus 23:40

[3] 'The fruit of a fine tree, fronds of palm trees, the bough of a thick tree, and willows of the powerful stream' means joy because of the goodness and truth present in a person from the inmost to the external parts of his being. The good of love, which is inmost, is meant by 'the fruit of a fine tree'; the good of faith by 'fronds of palm trees'; factual knowledge that accords with truth by 'the branch of a thick tree'; and sensory impressions that accord with truth, which are the most external, by 'the willows of a powerful stream'. No command to take all these things would have been given if there had not been some cause lying behind it in the spiritual world; and that cause does not become evident to anyone except from the internal sense.

[4] They were to be glad during the feast of weeks, as is also clear in Moses,

You shall keep the feast of weeks to Jehovah your God, and you shall be glad before Jehovah your God, you, and your son and your daughter, and your male servant and your female servant, and the Levite who is within your gates. Deuteronomy 16:10-11.

These words too, in the internal sense, mean gladness because of the goodness and truth present in people from the inmost to the external parts of their being.

[5] The fact that feasts were times of gladness, so that holding a feast means worshipping with gladness of mind, is also evident from the following places: In Isaiah,

You will have a song like that of a night for hallowing a feast. Isaiah 30:29.

In Nahum,

Look, on the mountains the feet of one bringing good tidings, of one proclaiming peace! Keep your feasts, O Judah, perform your vows; for [the man of] belial 3 will no more pass through you, he will be cut off completely. 4 Nahum 1:15.

In Zechariah,

The fasts will be to the house of Judah ones of joy and gladness and good feasts; only love truth and peace. Zechariah 8:19.

In Hosea,

I will cause all her joy to cease, her feasts, her new moons. Hosea 2:11.

In Amos,

I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation. Amos 8:10.

The fact that 'holding a feast' means offering worship with gladness of mind because they had been delivered from slavery in Egypt, or in the spiritual sense because they had been delivered from molestation by falsities, is made plain by the feast of Passover. They were commanded to celebrate this each year on the day of their departure from Egypt; and they were commanded to do so on account of the deliverance of the children of Israel from slavery, that is, on account of the deliverance of those who belonged to the spiritual Church from falsities, and so from damnation. And since the Lord delivered them by His Coming and raised them up with Him into heaven when He rose again, therefore this too was done at the Passover. This is also meant by the Lord's words in John,

Now is the judgement of this world, now will the prince of this world be cast outdoors. But I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to Myself. John 12:31-32.
