Exodus 29

Studie

   

1 Ja see on kirjeldus, mida sa nendega pead tegema, pühitsedes neid mulle preestriteks: võta üks noor härjavärss ja kaks veatut jäära,

2 hapnemata leiba, õliga segatud hapnemata kakke ja õliga võitud õhukesi hapnemata kooke; tee need peenest nisujahust!

3 Pane need ühte korvi ja too need korviga kaasa, siis kui tood härjavärsi ja kaks jäära!

4 Too Aaron ja tema pojad kogudusetelgi ukse juurde ja pese neid veega!

5 Võta riided ja pane Aaronile selga: särk ja õlarüü ülekuub, õlarüü ja rinnakilp, ja seo temale ümber õlarüü vöö!

6 Pane temale peakate pähe ja kinnita püha laubaehe peakatte külge!

7 Võta võideõli ja vala temale pähe ja võia teda!

8 Too esile ta pojad ja pane neile särgid selga!

9 Vööta nad vööga, Aaron ja tema pojad, ning seo nende peakatted! Preestriamet kuulugu neile igavese seaduse järgi. Ja täida Aaroni ja tema poegade käed!

10 Too härjavärss kogudusetelgi ette ning Aaron ja tema pojad pangu oma käed härjavärsi pea peale!

11 Tapa härjavärss Issanda ees kogudusetelgi ukse juures!

12 Võta härjavärsi verd ja määri sõrmega altari sarvedele; kogu veri aga vala altari jalale!

13 Ja võta kõik sisikonda kattev rasv, maksarasv, mõlemad neerud ja rasv, mis nende küljes on, ja süüta altaril põlema!

14 Aga härjavärsi liha, nahk ja sisikond põleta tulega väljaspool leeri; see on patuohver!

15 Võta üks jääradest ning Aaron ja tema pojad pangu oma käed jäära pea peale!

16 Tapa see jäär ja võta ta verd ning piserda altarile ümberringi!

17 Raiu jäär tükkideks, pese ta sisikond ja sääred ning pane need ta tükkide ja pea peale!

18 Siis süüta kogu see jäär altaril põlema; see on põletusohver Issandale, see on healõhnaline tuleohver Issandale!

19 Seejärel võta teine jäär ning Aaron ja tema pojad pangu oma käed jäära pea peale!

20 Tapa see jäär ja võta ta verd ning määri Aaroni parema kõrva lestale ja tema poegade parema kõrva lestale, ja nende parema käe pöidlale ja parema jala suurele varbale; muu veri aga piserda altarile ümberringi!

21 Võta altaril olevat verd ja võideõli ja piserda Aaroni ja tema riiete peale, nõndasamuti tema poegade ja poegade riiete peale; siis saavad pühaks tema ja ta riided, ja samuti tema pojad ja poegade riided!

22 Võta siis jäära rasv ja rasvane saba, sisikonna võrkkile rasv ja maksarasv, mõlemad neerud ja rasv, mis nende küljes on, ja parempoolne saps, sest see on pühitsusjäär,

23 üks päts leiba, üks õliga segatud leivakakk ja üks õhuke koogike hapnemata leibade korvist, mis on Issanda ees,

24 ja pane need kõik Aaroni käte peale ja tema poegade käte peale ning kõiguta neid kõigutusohvrina Issanda ees!

25 Siis võta need nende käte pealt ja põleta altaril põletusohvri peal meeldivaks lõhnaks Issanda ees; see on tuleohver Issandale!

26 Võta rinnaliha Aaroni pühitsusjäärast ja kõiguta seda kõigutusohvrina Issanda ees; ja see saagu siis sinule!

27 Pühitse kõigutusrinda ja tõstesapsu, mida on kõigutatud ja mida on tõstetud Aaroni ja tema poegade pühitsusohvri jäärast,

28 ja need saagu Iisraeli lastelt Aaronile ja tema poegadele igavese seaduse järgi, sest see on tõstelõiv; ja kui tõstelõiv on see Iisraeli lastelt nende tänu-tapaohvritest, tõstelõiv Issandale!

29 Aaroni pühad riided saagu pärast teda ta poegadele, et neidki nende sees võitaks ja nende käed täidetaks!

30 Seitse päeva kandku neid oma seljas see ta poegadest, kes saab preestriks, kes läheb kogudusetelki, et pühamus teenida!

31 Võta pühitsusjäär ja keeda selle liha pühas paigas!

32 Ja Aaron ja tema pojad söögu jäära liha ja leiba, mis on korvis, kogudusetelgi ukse ees!

33 Nad söögu seda, millega lepitust toodi, kui nende käed täideti ja neid pühitseti; aga võõras ei tohi seda süüa, sest see on püha!

34 Ja kui pühitsusohvri lihast ja leivast midagi jääb üle hommikuks, siis põleta see jääk tulega: seda ei tohi süüa, sest see on püha!

35 Tee Aaroni ja tema poegadega kõik nõnda, nagu ma sind olen käskinud; nende pühitsus kestku seitse päeva!

36 Ohverda iga päev patuohvri härjavärss lepituseks ja puhasta patust altar, tuues selle peal lepitust, ja võia seda pühitsuseks!

37 Seitse päeva toimeta altari lepitust ja pühitse seda; siis altar saab väga pühaks: igaüks, kes altarit puudutab, saab pühaks!

38 Ja see on, mida sa pead ohverdama altaril alaliselt, iga päev: kaks aastast talle.

39 Üks tall ohverda hommikul ja teine tall ohverda õhtul,

40 ja kann peent jahu, segatud kolme kortli tambitud õliga, ja joogiohvriks kolm kortlit veini ühe talle kohta!

41 Teine tall ohverda õhtul; valmista see nagu hommikulgi roaohvri ja joogiohvriga healõhnaliseks tuleohvriks Issandale!

42 See olgu alaliseks põletusohvriks Issanda ees teie sugupõlvedele kogudusetelgi ukse ees, seal, kus ma ennast teile ilmutan, et sinuga rääkida!

43 Seal ma ilmutan ennast Iisraeli lastele ja see saab pühaks minu auhiilguse läbi.

44 Mina pühitsen kogudusetelgi ja altari; ja ma pühitsen enesele preestriteks Aaroni ja tema pojad.

45 Ma tahan elada Iisraeli laste keskel ja olla neile Jumalaks.

46 Ja nemad peavad tundma, et mina olen Issand, nende Jumal, kes tõi nad Egiptusemaalt välja, et elada nende keskel. Mina olen Issand, nende Jumal!

9872. 'A tarshish, and a shoham, and a jasper' means the spiritual love of truth, in which higher things terminate. This is clear from the meaning of these stones, which they derive from their colours; for the colour of all the stones in this row is on the white side tinged with blue. The fact that tarshish means the spiritual love of truth is clear from places in the Word where it is mentioned, as in Ezekiel,

Behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubs; the appearance of the wheels was like that of tarshish stone. Ezekiel 1:16; 10:9.

The cherubs' wheels are similar in meaning to a person's arms and feet, which is the power to act and go forward, this power being that of truth springing from good, see 8215. This explains why the appearance of those wheels was like that of tarshish stone; for 'tarshish' means truth springing from spiritual good, which possesses power.

[2] In Daniel,

I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a man clothed in linen whose loins were girded with gold of Uphaz, and his body was like tarshish; and his face was like [the appearance] of lightning, and his eyes were like fiery torches. Daniel 10:5-6.

'A man clothed in linen' was an angel from heaven. 'Linen' means truth that is the clothing of good, 7601. By 'loins' conjugial love, which belongs to goodness and truth, is meant, 3021, 4280, 5050-5062. This is why the man's loins are said to have been 'girded with gold of Uphaz', for 'gold' means the good of love, 113, 1551, 1552, 5658, 9490, 9510. 'The body' however, by virtue of its correspondence, means the good of celestial love and also the good of spiritual love, 6135, while the surface of the body means the truth that springs from that good, which is why the man's body looked like tarshish. So it is that 'tarshish' means the truth that spiritual love desires.

[3] For the meaning of a shoham, the second stone in this row, as the truths of faith that spring from love, see what has been shown in 9476, 9841. As for a jasper, the third and last stone belonging to this row, that it means the truth of faith, this is clear in John's Revelation,

The light of the city, the holy Jerusalem, was like a most precious stone, as if it were a jasper stone, shining like crystal. Revelation 21:11.

'The holy Jerusalem' means the Church that is going to take the place of the one that is ours at the present day. Its 'light' is the truth of faith and resulting intelligence, 9548, 9551, 9555, 9558, 9561, 9684. Therefore it is likened to 'a jasper stone, shining like crystal'. 'Crystal' as well means the truth of faith springing from good, in the same book,

The construction of the wall of the holy Jerusalem was jasper, and the city was pure gold, like pure glass. Revelation 21:18.

The wall of the city is described as jasper because 'the wall' means the truth of faith protecting the Church, 6419. And since 'the wall' has this meaning, verse 19 of that chapter says that the first stone constituting its foundations was jasper. For by 'foundation' is meant the truth of faith springing from good, see 9643.

Exodus 28

Studie

   

1 "Bring Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, near to you from among the children of Israel, that he may minister to me in the priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.

2 You shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty.

3 You shall speak to all who are wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron's garments to sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the priest's office.

4 These are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a coat of checker work, a turban, and a sash: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, and his sons, that he may minister to me in the priest's office.

5 They shall take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the fine linen.

6 "They shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the skillful workman.

7 It shall have two shoulder straps joined to the two ends of it, that it may be joined together.

8 The skillfully woven band, which is on it, that is on him, shall be like its work and of the same piece; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

9 You shall take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the children of Israel:

10 six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the six that remain on the other stone, in the order of their birth.

11 With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones, according to the names of the children of Israel: you shall make them to be enclosed in settings of gold.

12 You shall put the two stones on the shoulder straps of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before Yahweh on his two shoulders for a memorial.

13 You shall make settings of gold,

14 and two chains of pure gold; you shall make them like cords of braided work: and you shall put the braided chains on the settings.

15 "You shall make a breastplate of judgment, the work of the skillful workman; like the work of the ephod you shall make it; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, you shall make it.

16 It shall be square and folded double; a span shall be its length of it, and a span its breadth.

17 You shall set in it settings of stones, four rows of stones: a row of ruby, topaz, and beryl shall be the first row;

18 and the second row a turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald;

19 and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

20 and the fourth row a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be enclosed in gold in their settings.

21 The stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, everyone according to his name, they shall be for the twelve tribes.

22 You shall make on the breastplate chains like cords, of braided work of pure gold.

23 You shall make on the breastplate two rings of gold, and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

24 You shall put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.

25 The other two ends of the two braided chains you shall put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod in its forepart.

26 You shall make two rings of gold, and you shall put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its edge, which is toward the side of the ephod inward.

27 You shall make two rings of gold, and shall put them on the two shoulder straps of the ephod underneath, in its forepart, close by its coupling, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.

28 They shall bind the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate may not swing out from the ephod.

29 Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment on his heart, when he goes in to the holy place, for a memorial before Yahweh continually.

30 You shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be on Aaron's heart, when he goes in before Yahweh: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel on his heart before Yahweh continually.

31 "You shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue.

32 It shall have a hole for the head in its midst: it shall have a binding of woven work around its hole, as it were the hole of a coat of mail, that it not be torn.

33 On its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, around its hem; and bells of gold between and around them:

34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, around the hem of the robe.

35 It shall be on Aaron to minister: and its sound shall be heard when he goes in to the holy place before Yahweh, and when he comes out, that he not die.

36 "You shall make a plate of pure gold, and engrave on it, like the engravings of a signet, 'HOLY TO YAHWEH.'

37 You shall put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be on the sash; on the front of the sash it shall be.

38 It shall be on Aaron's forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall make holy in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always on his forehead, that they may be accepted before Yahweh.

39 You shall weave the coat in checker work of fine linen, and you shall make a turban of fine linen, and you shall make a sash, the work of the embroiderer.

40 "You shall make coats for Aaron's sons, and you shall make sashes for them and you shall make headbands for them, for glory and for beauty.

41 You shall put them on Aaron your brother, and on his sons with him, and shall anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.

42 You shall make them linen breeches to cover the flesh of their nakedness; from the waist even to the thighs they shall reach:

43 They shall be on Aaron, and on his sons, when they go in to the Tent of Meeting, or when they come near to the altar to minister in the holy place; that they don't bear iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute forever to him and to his descendants after him.
