Izlazak 30

1 Još načini oltar kadioni, od drveta sitima načini ga.

2 Dužina neka mu bude lakat, i širina lakat, četvorouglast da bude, i dva lakta visok; iz njega neka mu izlaze rogovi.

3 I pokuj ga čistim zlatom, ozgo sa strana unaokolo, i rogove njegove; i načini mu venac zlatan unaokolo.

4 I načini mu po dva biočuga zlatna ispod venca na dva ugla njegova s obe strane, i kroz njih ćeš provući poluge da se može nositi.

5 A poluge načini od drveta sitima, i okuj ih u zlato.

6 I metni ga pred zaves koji visi pred kovčegom od svedočanstva prema zaklopcu koji je nad svedočanstvom, gde ću se s tobom sastajati.

7 I neka kadi na njemu Aron kadom mirisnim; svako jutro neka kadi kad spremi žiške.

8 I kad zapali Aron žiške uveče, neka kadi; neka bude kad svagdašnji pred Gospodom od kolena do kolena vašeg.

9 Ne prinosite na njemu kad tuđi niti žrtvu paljenicu niti prinos; ni naliv ne lijte na njemu.

10 Samo očišćenje neka čini nad rogovima njegovim Aron jednom u godini; krvlju od žrtve za greh u dan očišćenja jednom u godini činiće očišćenja na njemu od koljena do koljena vašeg; jer je to svetinja nad svetinjama Gospodu.

11 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

12 Kad staneš brojati sinove Izrailjeve, između onih koji idu u broj svaki neka dade otkup za život svoj Gospodu, kad ih staneš brojati, da ne bi došlo na njih kakvo zlo kad ih staneš brojati.

13 A neka da svaki koji ide u broj pola sikla, po siklu svetom (a taj je sikal dvadeset novčića); pola sikla biće prilog Gospodu.

14 Ko god ide u boj, od dvadeset godina i više, neka da prilog Gospodu.

15 Bogati da ne da više a siromah da ne da manje od po sikla, kad daju prilog Gospodu na očišćenje duša vaših.

16 I uzevši novce za očišćenje od sinova Izrailjevih ostavi ih za potrebu u šatoru od sastanka, i biće sinovima Izrailjevim spomen pred Gospodom za očišćenje duša vaših.

17 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

18 Načini i umivaonicu od bronze i podnožje joj od bronze za umivanje; i metni je između šatora od sastanka i oltara, i nalij u nju vode.

19 Da iz nje pere Aron i sinovi njegovi ruke svoje i noge svoje.

20 Kad idu u šator od sastanka, neka se umivaju vodom, da ne izginu, ili kad pristupaju k oltaru da služe i da pale žrtvu ognjenu Gospodu.

21 Tada neka peru ruke svoje i noge svoje da ne izginu. To neka im bude uredba večna Aronu i semenu njegovom od kolena do kolena.

22 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

23 Uzmi mirisa najboljih: smirne najčistije pet stotina sikala i cimeta mirisavog pola toliko, dvesta pedeset, i iđirota takođe dvesta pedeset,

24 I kasije pet stotina merom svetom, i ulja maslinovog jedan in.

25 I od toga načini ulje za sveto pomazanje, ulje najbolje veštinom apotekarskom; to da bude ulje svetog pomazanja.

26 I njim pomaži šator od sastanka i kovčeg od svedočanstva,

27 I sto i sve sprave njegove, i svećnjak i sprave njegove, i oltar kadioni,

28 I oltar na kome se prinosi žrtva paljenica, i sve sprave njegove, i umivaonicu i podnožje njeno.

29 Tako ćeš ih osvetiti, te će biti svetinja nad svetinjom, i šta ih se god dotakne biće sveto.

30 Pomaži i Arona i sinove njegove, i osvetićeš ih da mi budu sveštenici.

31 A sinovima Izrailjevim kaži i reci: Ovo neka mi bude ulje svetog pomazanja od kolena do kolena vašeg.

32 Telo čovečje neka se ne maže njim, niti pravite takvo ulje kakvo je ono; sveto je, neka vam bude sveto.

33 Ako li bi ko načinio tako ulje ili namazao njim drugog, istrebiće se iz naroda svog.

34 I reče Gospod Mojsiju: Uzmi mirisa, stakte, oniha i halvana mirisavog, i tamjana čistog, koliko jednog toliko drugog.

35 I od toga načini kad, sastavljen veštinom apotekarskom, čist i svet.

36 I istucavši ga nasitno, metaćeš ga pred svedočanstvom u šatoru od sastanka, gde ću se sastajati s tobom; to neka vam bude svetinja nad svetinjama.

37 A takav kad kakav načiniš nemojte sebi praviti; to neka ti je svetinja za Gospoda.

38 Ako li bi ko načinio takav da ga miriše, istrebiće se iz naroda svog.

10207. 'And you shall not pour a drink offering on it' means that nothing representative of regeneration by means of the truths and forms of good belonging to spiritual love should be there. This is clear from the meaning of 'a drink offering' as that which is representative of regeneration by means of the truths and forms of the good of faith and charity, dealt with in 10137, which are the truths and forms of good belonging to spiritual love. For love to the Lord is called celestial love, whereas charity towards the neighbour is called spiritual love; celestial love reigns in the inmost heaven, whereas spiritual love reigns in the middle and the lowest ones, see the places referred to in 9277, 9596, 9684.

Exodus 30

Study

   

1 "You shall make an altar to burn incense on. You shall make it of acacia wood.

2 Its length shall be a cubit, and its breadth a cubit. It shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits. Its horns shall be of one piece with it.

3 You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top, its sides around it, and its horns; and you shall make a gold molding around it.

4 You shall make two golden rings for it under its molding; on its two ribs, on its two sides you shall make them; and they shall be for places for poles with which to bear it.

5 You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.

6 You shall put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with you.

7 Aaron shall burn incense of sweet spices on it every morning. When he tends the lamps, he shall burn it.

8 When Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before Yahweh throughout your generations.

9 You shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt offering, nor meal offering; and you shall pour no drink offering on it.

10 Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once in the year; with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once in the year he shall make atonement for it throughout your generations. It is most holy to Yahweh."

11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

12 "When you take a census of the children of Israel, according to those who are numbered among them, then each man shall give a ransom for his soul to Yahweh, when you number them; that there be no plague among them when you number them.

13 They shall give this, everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary; (the shekel is twenty gerahs;) half a shekel for an offering to Yahweh.

14 Everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering to Yahweh.

15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls.

16 You shall take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the Tent of Meeting; that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls."

17 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

18 "You shall also make a basin of brass, and its base of brass, in which to wash. You shall put it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it.

19 Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in it.

20 When they go into the Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with water, that they not die; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die: and it shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his descendants throughout their generations."

22 Moreover Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

23 "Also take fine spices: of liquid myrrh, five hundred shekels; and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, even two hundred and fifty; and of fragrant cane, two hundred and fifty;

24 and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary; and a hin of olive oil.

25 You shall make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.

26 You shall use it to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the testimony,

27 the table and all its articles, the lampstand and its accessories, the altar of incense,

28 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its base.

29 You shall sanctify them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.

30 You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.

31 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'This shall be a holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations.

32 It shall not be poured on man's flesh, neither shall you make any like it, according to its composition: it is holy. It shall be holy to you.

33 Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.'"

34 Yahweh said to Moses, "Take to yourself sweet spices, gum resin, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be an equal weight;

35 and you shall make incense of it, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy:

36 and you shall beat some of it very small, and put some of it before the testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be to you most holy.

37 The incense which you shall make, according to its composition you shall not make for yourselves: it shall be to you holy for Yahweh.

38 Whoever shall make any like that, to smell of it, he shall be cut off from his people."
