1 Isto é o que lhes farás para os santificar, para que me administrem o sacerdócio: Toma um novilho e dois carneiros sem defeito,

2 e pão ázimo, e bolos ázimos, amassados com azeite, e coscorões ázimos, untados com azeite; de flor de farinha de trigo os farás;

3 e os porás num cesto, e os trarás no cesto, com o novilho e os dois carneiros.

4 Então farás chegar Arão e seus filhos à porta da tenda da revelação e os lavarás, com água.

5 Depois tomarás as vestes, e vestirás a Arão da túnica e do manto do éfode, e do éfode mesmo, e do peitoral, e lhe cingirás o éfode com o seu cinto de obra esmerada;

6 e pôr-lhe-ás a mitra na cabeça; e sobre a mitra porás a coroa de santidade;

7 então tomarás o óleo da unção e, derramando-lho sobre a cabeça, o ungirás.

8 Depois farás chegar seus filhos, e lhes farás vestir túnicas,

9 e os cingirás com cintos, a Arão e a seus filhos, e lhes atarás as tiaras. Por estatuto perpétuo eles terão o sacerdócio; consagrarás, pois, a Arão e a seus filhos.

10 Farás chegar o novilho diante da tenda da revelação, e Arão e seus filhos porão as mãos sobre a cabeça do novilho;

11 e imolarás o novilho perante o Senhor, à porta da tenda da revelação.

12 Depois tomarás do sangue do novilho, e com o dedo o porás sobre as pontas do altar, e todo o sangue restante derramarás à base do altar.

13 Também tomarás toda a gordura que cobre as entranhas, o redenho do fígado, os dois rins e a gordura que houver neles, e queimá-los-ás sobre o altar;

14 mas a carne do novilho, o seu couro e o seu excremento queimarás fora do arraial; é sacrifício pelo pecado.

15 Depois tomarás um carneiro, e Arão e seus filhos porão as mãos sobre a cabeça dele,

16 e imolarás o carneiro e, tomando o seu sangue, o espargirás sobre o altar ao redor;

17 e partirás o carneiro em suas partes, e lavarás as suas entranhas e as suas pernas, e as porás sobre as suas partes e sobre a sua cabeça.

18 Assim queimarás todo o carneiro sobre o altar; é um holocausto para o Senhor; é cheiro suave, oferta queimada ao Senhor.

19 Depois tomarás o outro carneiro, e Arão e seus filhos porão as mãos sobre a cabeça dele;

20 e imolarás o carneiro, e tomarás do seu sangue, e o porás sobre a ponta da orelha direita de Arão e sobre a ponta da orelha direita de seus filhos, como também sobre o dedo polegar da sua mão direita e sobre o dedo polegar do seu direito; e espargirás o sangue sobre o altar ao redor.

21 Então tomarás do sangue que estará sobre o altar, e do óleo da unção, e os espargirás sobre Arão e sobre as suas vestes, e sobre seus filhos, e sobre as vestes de seus filhos com ele; assim ele será santificado e as suas vestes, também seus filhos e as vestes de seus filhos com ele.

22 Depois tomarás do carneiro a gordura e a cauda gorda, a gordura que cobre as entranhas e o redenho do fígado, os dois rins com a gordura que houver neles e a coxa direita (porque é carneiro de consagração),

23 e uma fogaça de pão, um bolo de pão azeitado e um coscorão do cesto dos pães ázimos que estará diante do Senhor,

24 e tudo porás nas mãos de Arão, e nas mãos de seus filhos; e por oferta de movimento o moverás perante o Senhor.

25 Depois o tomarás das suas mãos e o queimarás no altar sobre o holocausto, por cheiro suave perante o Senhor; é oferta queimada ao Senhor.

26 Também tomarás o peito do carneiro de consagração, que é de Arão, e por oferta de movimento o moverás perante o Senhor; e isto será a tua porção.

27 E santificarás o peito da oferta de movimento e a coxa da oferta alçada, depois de movida e alçada, isto é, aquilo do carneiro de consagração que for de Arão e de seus filhos;

28 e isto será para Arão e para seus fihos a porção de direito, para sempre, da parte dos filhos de Israel, porque é oferta alçada; e oferta alçada será dos filhos de Israel, dos sacrifícios das suas ofertas pacíficas, oferta alçada ao Senhor.

29 As vestes sagradas de Arão ficarão para seus filhos depois dele, para nelas serem ungidos e sagrados.

30 Sete dias os vestirá aquele que de seus filhos for sacerdote em seu lugar, quando entrar na tenda da revelação para ministrar no lugar santo.

31 Também tomarás o carneiro de consagração e cozerás a sua carne em lugar santo.

32 E Arão e seus filhos comerão a carne do carneiro, e o pão que está no cesto, à porta da tenda da revelação;

33 e comerão as coisas com que for feita expiação, para consagrá-los, e para santificá-los; mas delas o estranho nào comerá, porque são santas.

34 E se sobejar alguma coisa da carne da consagração, ou do pão, até pela manhã, o que sobejar queimarás no fogo; não se comerá, porque é santo.

35 Assim, pois, farás a Arão e a seus filhos conforme tudo o que te hei ordenado; por sete dias os sagrarás.

36 Também cada dia oferecerás para expiação o novilho de sacrifício pelo pecado; e purificarás o altar, fazendo expiação por ele; e o ungirás para santificá-lo.

37 Sete dias farás expiação pelo altar, e o santificarás; e o altar será santíssimo; tudo o que tocar o altar será santo.

38 Isto, pois, é o que oferecerás sobre o altar: dois cordeiros de um ano cada dia continuamente.

39 Um cordeiro oferecerás pela manhã, e o outro cordeiro oferecerás à tardinha;

40 com um cordeiro a décima parte de uma efa de flor de farinha, misturada com a quarta parte de um him de azeite batido, e para libação a quarta parte de um him de vinho.

41 E o outro cordeiro oferecerás à tardinha, e com ele farás oferta de cereais como com a oferta da manhã, e conforme a sua oferta de libação, por cheiro suave; oferta queimada é ao Senhor.

42 Este será o holocausto contínuo por vossas gerações, à porta da tenda da revelação, perante o Senhor, onde vos encontrarei, para falar contigo ali.

43 E ali virei aos filhos de Israel; e a tenda será santificada pela minha glória;

44 santificarei a tenda da revelação e o altar; também santificarei a Arão e seus filhos, para que me administrem o sacerdócio.

45 Habitarei no meio dos filhos de Israel, e serei o seu Deus;

46 e eles saberão que eu sou o Senhor seu Deus, que os tirei da terra do Egito, para habitar no meio deles; eu sou o Senhor seu Deus.

10079. 'And one wafer' means lowest celestial good. This is clear from the meaning of 'wafer' as celestial good in the external man, dealt with in 9994, thus that which is lowest. In the heavens there are two distinct and separate kingdoms; one is called the celestial kingdom, the other the spiritual kingdom. Each kingdom has three parts; each has an inmost part, a middle part, and a lowest part. The inmost good of the celestial kingdom is meant by 'bread', middle good by 'cakes', and lowest good by 'wafers', see above in 9993. It says that they were to take one loaf of bread, one cake, and one wafer, and after these had been waved they were to be burned with the burnt offering, and that Aaron and his sons were to eat the bread left over in the basket at the door of the tent of meeting. These things served to mean the transmission of the good of love from the Lord and the reception of it in the higher heavens, that is, in the celestial kingdom. The transmission of that good was meant by the bread which, after it had been waved, was burned on the altar, and the reception of it was meant by the bread that was eaten. It says 'one' loaf of bread, 'one' cake, and 'one' wafer because Good from God is essentially one.

[2] Next it must be stated why it was decreed that not only the ram's fat and right flank had to be burned on the altar but also offerings of bread, which were called minchahs, when yet good is meant equally by the bread or minchahs as it is by the fat and flank. Without knowledge of why it had to be done offering bread as well would seem to be superfluous. But the reason was that sacrifices and burnt offerings were not demanded, only permitted, and that they were therefore unacceptable in the heavens. Therefore minchahs as well, or offerings of bread, were presented, and also drink offerings of wine, which were acceptable; for 'bread' means all celestial good and 'wine' all the truth that goes with it. This also explains why sacrifices and burnt offerings were called bread, and in addition minchahs or gifts; for minchahs in the original language denotes gifts. But see what has been shown previously on these matters,

Sacrifices and burnt offerings were first introduced by Eber and came down from him to the descendants of Jacob, 1128, 1343, 2818, 4874, 5702.

Sacrifices and burnt offerings were not demanded, only permitted, 2180.

Sacrifices and burnt offerings were called bread, 2165.

'Bread' means celestial good and 'wine' the truth that goes with it, 276, 680, 2165, 2177, 3735, 4217, 4735, 4976, 5915, 6118, 6377, 8410, 9323, 9545.

The like is meant by 'minchah' and 'drink offering', 4581.

From this it is evident that it was for the same reason also that the Lord abolished the burnt offerings and sacrifices, and retained the bread and wine. But it should be recognized that the flesh of a sacrifice or burnt offering served in particular to mean spiritual good, whereas the bread of a minchah served to mean celestial good, and that this was why not only flesh but also bread had to be offered.

6377. 'He washes his clothing in wine' means that His Natural consists in Divine Truth from His Divine Good. This is clear from the meaning of 'washing' as purifying, dealt with in 3147; from the meaning of 'wine' as the good of love towards the neighbour and the good of faith, and in the highest sense as Divine Truth from the Lord's Divine Good, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'clothing' as the exterior which covers the interior, dealt with in 5248, thus the natural since this is exterior and covers the rational, which is interior. Therefore 'clothing' also means truth since this is exterior and covers good, which is interior, 2576, 4545, 4763, 5319, 5954.

[2] The fact that 'wine' means love towards the neighbour and the good of faith may be recognized from what has been shown regarding the bread and wine in the Holy Supper, in 2165, 2177, 3464, 4581, 5915. These paragraphs show that 'bread' is the good of celestial love, and that 'wine' is the good of spiritual love. The same may also be recognized from the minchah and the drink-offering in sacrifices. The minchah in them meant the good of love, and the drink-offering the good of faith. The minchah consisted of the kinds of things that meant the good of love, while the drink-offering consisted of wine that meant the good of faith. The sacrifices themselves were also called 'bread', 2165. For the use in sacrifices of a drink-offering consisting of wine, see Exodus 29:40; Leviticus 23:12-13, 18-19; Numbers 15:2-15; 28:6-7, 18-end; 29:1-7 and following verses.

[3] The meaning that 'wine' has of love towards the neighbour and the good of faith is also evident in Isaiah,

Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! And come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Isaiah 55:1.

No one can fail to see that they did not have to buy wine and milk, but that they were to acquire what is meant by 'wine and milk', which is love towards the neighbour and faith. These gifts come from the Lord 'without money and without price'.

[4] In Hosea,

Threshing-floor and winepress will not feed them, and new wine will be deceptive to her. 1 Ephraim will return to Egypt, and in Assyria they will eat what is unclean. They will not pour libations of wine to Jehovah, their sacrifices will not be pleasing to Him. Hosea 9:1-4.

Here also in the internal sense reference is made to the good of love and the good of faith, to the demise of them. The good of love is meant by 'threshing-floor' by virtue of the grain there and the bread made from it, while the good of faith is meant by 'winepress', 'new wine', and 'libation of wine'. 'Ephraim will return to Egypt' stands for the fact that the understanding would resort to factual knowledge for advice concerning the arcana of faith; 'in Assyria they will eat what is unclean' stands for that which is the outcome of consequent false reasoning - 'Ephraim' being the area of understanding in the Church, see 5754, 6112, 6238, 6267; 'Egypt' the area of factual knowledge, 1164, 1165, 1186, 1462, 5702; and 'Assyria' that of reasoning, 1186. The line of thought in this passage also shows that the words used here contain something more than what one sees in the letter. For everything hangs together in the internal sense, but not so in the external sense, for example when it says that 'threshing-floor and winepress will not feed them, and new wine will be deceptive to her', immediately followed by 'Ephraim will return to Egypt, and in Assyria they will eat what is unclean'. Moreover, without the internal sense what meaning would Ephraim's return to Egypt and their eating in Assyria what is unclean have?

[5] 'Winepress' and 'wine' are also used in Jeremiah to describe the demise of mutual love and the good of faith,

He who lays waste has fallen on your vintage, therefore joy and gladness have been plucked from Carmel, and from the land of Moab, for I have made the wine cease from the winepresses; none will tread the headed. 2 Jeremiah 48:32-33.

[6] The fact that 'wine' means the good of mutual love and of faith is also evident in John,

I heard a voice from the midst of the four living creatures, saying, Do no harm to oil and wine. Revelation 6:6.

[7] 'Oil' stands for the good of celestial love, and 'wine' for the good of spiritual love.

'Oil' and 'wine' have a similar meaning in the Lord's parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke,

A certain Samaritan was journeying, and seeing him who had been wounded by the robbers was moved with compassion for him; going therefore to him, he bandaged his wounds, and poured on oil and wine. Luke 10:33-34.

'He poured on oil and wine' means that he performed the works of love and charity, 'oil' being the good of love, see 886, 3728. A like meaning was involved in the practice of the ancients, who poured oil and wine onto a pillar when they consecrated it, Genesis 35:14, 4581, 4582.

[8] The fact that 'wine' means the good of love and faith is evident from the words the Lord used when He instituted the Holy Supper. He said then regarding the wine,

I tell you that I shall not drink from now on of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom. Matthew 26:29; Luke 22:17-18.

Anyone can see that He was not about to drink wine in that kingdom, but that the good of love and faith is meant, which He was about to impart to those who belonged to His kingdom. Much the same is meant by 'wine' in Isaiah 24:9, 11; Lamentations 2:11-12; Hosea 14:7; Amos 9:13-14; Zechariah 9:15-16; Luke 5:37-39.

[9] Since 'wine' means the good of love and faith, Divine Truth from the Lord's Divine Good is therefore meant in the highest sense, for that Truth, when it flows into a person and is accepted by him, brings him the good of love and faith.

[10] Since most things in the Word also have a contrary meaning, so too does 'wine', the contrary meaning of which is falsity from evil, as in Isaiah,

Woe to those who rise in the morning around dawn, and then follow strong drink, who continue into dusk, so that wine may inflame them! Woe to heroes at drinking wine, and to valiant men in mixing strong drink! Isaiah 5:11, 22

In the same prophet,

Also these err through wine, and go astray through strong drink. The priest and the prophet err through strong drink. They are swallowed up by wine, they go astray through strong drink. They err among the seers, they are tottery in judgement. Isaiah 28:7.

In the same prophet,

The shepherds know no understanding, they all look to their own way. Come, I will get wine, and we will be drunken from strong drink; and let there be tomorrow, as there is this day, great abundance. Isaiah 56:11-12.

In addition to these places 'wine' is used with the contrary meaning in Jeremiah 13:12; Hosea 4:11; 7:5; Amos 2:8; Micah 2:11; Psalms 75:8; Deuteronomy 32:33.

Falsity from evil is also meant by the cup of the wine of wrath in Jeremiah 25:15-16; Revelation 14:8, 10; 16:19; the winepress of the wrath of God's anger, Revelation 19:15; and the wine of whoredom, Revelation 17:2; 18:3.
