3 Mose 17

Estude

   

1 Und Jehova redete zu Mose und sprach:

2 Rede zu Aaron und zu seinen Söhnen und zu allen Kindern Israel und sprich zu ihnen: Dies ist es, was Jehova geboten und gesagt hat:

3 Jedermann aus dem Hause Israel, der ein Rind oder ein Schaf oder eine Ziege im Lager schlachtet, oder der außerhalb des Lagers schlachtet,

4 und es nicht an den Eingang des Zeltes der Zusammenkunft gebracht hat, um es Jehova als Opfergabe darzubringen vor der Wohnung Jehovas, selbigem Manne soll Blut zugerechnet werden: Blut hat er vergossen, und selbiger Mann soll ausgerottet werden aus der Mitte seines Volkes;

5 auf daß die Kinder Israel ihre Schlachtopfer bringen, die sie auf freiem Felde schlachten, daß sie sie Jehova bringen an den Eingang des Zeltes der Zusammenkunft zu dem Priester und sie als Friedensopfer dem Jehova schlachten.

6 Und der Priester soll das Blut an den Altar Jehovas sprengen vor dem Eingang des Zeltes der Zusammenkunft und das Fett räuchern zum lieblichen Geruch dem Jehova.

7 Und sie sollen nicht mehr ihre Schlachtopfer den Dämonen schlachten, denen sie nachhuren. Das soll ihnen eine ewige Satzung sein bei ihren Geschlechtern.

8 Und du sollst zu ihnen sagen: Jedermann aus dem Hause Israel und von den Fremdlingen, die in ihrer Mitte weilen, der ein Brandopfer oder Schlachtopfer opfert

9 und es nicht an den Eingang des Zeltes der Zusammenkunft bringt, um es Jehova zu opfern, selbiger Mann soll ausgerottet werden aus seinen Völkern.

10 Und jedermann aus dem Hause Israel und von den Fremdlingen, die in ihrer Mitte weilen, der irgend Blut essen wird, wider die Seele, die das Blut isset, werde ich mein Angesicht richten und sie ausrotten aus der Mitte ihres Volkes.

11 Denn die Seele des Fleisches ist im Blute, und ich habe es euch auf den Altar gegeben, um Sühnung zu tun für eure Seelen; denn das Blut ist es, welches Sühnung tut durch die Seele.

12 Darum habe ich zu den Kindern Israel gesagt: Niemand von euch soll Blut essen; auch der Fremdling, der in eurer Mitte weilt, soll nicht Blut essen.

13 Und jedermann von den Kindern Israel und von den Fremdlingen, die in eurer Mitte weilen, der ein Wildbret oder einen Vogel erjagt, die gegessen werden, soll ihr Blut ausfließen lassen und es mit Erde bedecken.

14 Denn die Seele alles Fleisches: sein Blut, das ist seine Seele; und ich habe zu den Kindern Israel gesagt: Das Blut irgend welches Fleisches sollt ihr nicht essen, denn die Seele alles Fleisches ist sein Blut; jeder, der es isset, soll ausgerottet werden. -

15 Und jeder, der ein Aas oder Zerrissenes isset, er sei Eingeborener oder Fremdling, der soll seine Kleider waschen und sich im Wasser baden, und er wird unrein sein bis an den Abend; dann wird er rein sein.

16 Und wenn er sie nicht wäscht und sein Fleisch nicht badet, so wird er seine Ungerechtigkeit tragen.

9959. And thou shalt make for them breeches of linen. That this signifies what is external of conjugial love, is evident from the signification of “breeches,” as being what is external of love (of which below); and from the signification of “linen,” as being external truth, or natural truth (of which also below). The reason why “breeches” signify what is external of conjugial love, is that garments or coverings derive their signification from that part of the body which they cover (see n. 9827), and the loins together with the genitals, which are clothed or covered by the breeches, signify conjugial love. (That “the loins” have this signification, see n. 3021, 4280, 4575; and also “the genitals,” n. 4462, 5050-5062.) What love truly conjugial is, shall be told in the following article.

[2] The reason why the breeches were made of linen, was that “linen” signifies external truth, that is, natural truth (n. 7601), and the external itself is truth. The reason why the external is truth, is that internal things cease in external ones, and rest upon these as their supports; and supports are truths. They are like the foundations on which a house is built; and therefore “the foundations of a house” signify truths of faith from good (see n. 9643). Moreover, truths are what protect goods from evils and falsities, and resist them; and all the power which good has is by means of truths (n. 9643). From this also it is that in the ultimate of heaven are those who are in truths of faith from good; and therefore also the ultimate, or outermost, with man, which is his outer skin, corresponds to those in the heavens who are in truths of faith (n. 5552-5559, 8980); but not to those who are in faith separate from good, for these are not in heaven. From all this it can now be seen why the breeches were of linen. But when Aaron was clothed in garments which were for glory and comeliness (which have been treated of in this chapter), his breeches were of linen with fine linen interwoven, as is evident from what follows, where it is said:

They made the tunics of fine linen, the work of the weaver, and the miter of fine linen, and the adornments of the tiaras of fine linen, and the breeches of linen with fine linen interwoven (Exodus 39:27-28).

But when he was clothed in the garments of holiness, Aaron’s breeches were of linen, as is evident from these words in Moses:

When Aaron shall enter into the holiness within the veil, he shall put on the linen tunic of holiness, and the linen breeches shall be put upon his flesh, and he shall gird himself with the linen belt, and he shall put on himself the linen miter; these are the garments of holiness; he shall also wash his flesh with water when he puts them on; and he shall then first offer burnt-offerings and sacrifices, by which he shall expiate the holiness from uncleanesses (Leviticus 16 (Leviticus 16:2) (Leviticus 16:23-24)).

[3] The reason why Aaron then went clothed with linen garments, which were also called “garments of holiness,” was that he then administered the office of expiating the Tent, as also the people and himself, from uncleannesses; and all expiation, which was effected by means of washings, burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, represented the purification of the heart from evils and falsities, thus regeneration; and purification from evils and falsities, or regeneration, is effected by means of the truths of faith. Therefore there were then linen garments upon Aaron, for as before said, by “the linen garments” were signified the truths of faith. (That all purification from evils and falsities is effected by means of the truths of faith, see n. 2799, 5954, 7044, 7918, 9089; thus that regeneration is so effected, n. 1555, 2046, 2063, 2979, 3332, 3665, 3690, 3786, 3876, 3877, 4096, 4097, 5893, 6247, 8635, 8638-8640, 8772, 9088, 9089, 9103)

[4] It was for the same reason that the priest put on linen clothing, and linen breeches, when he took the ashes away from the altar (Leviticus 6:10-11); and that the priests the Levites, of the sons of Zadok, were also to do the same when they should enter into the sanctuary, of which we read in Ezekiel:

The priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, shall enter into My sanctuary, and shall come near to My table, to minister to Me. When they shall enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall put on linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, when they shall enter in at the gates of the inner court inward. There shall be linen tiaras upon their heads, and linen breeches shall be upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with sweat (Ezekiel 44:15-18).

The new temple is here treated of, by which is signified the New Church; by “the priests the Levites” are signified those who are in truths from good; by “the linen garments” are signified the truths of faith by means of which purification and regeneration are effected; “not to be girded with sweat” signifies that the holy things of worship were not to be commingled with what is man’s own; for “sweat” denotes what is man’s own; and what is man’s own is nothing but evil and falsity (n. 210, 215, 694, 874-876, 987, 1047, 3812, 8480, 8941).

[5] That the breeches worn by Aaron when he was clothed in garments for glory and comeliness were of linen with fine linen interwoven ((Exodus 39:27-28) as is evident from the passage cited above, Exodus 39:27-28), was because in them Aaron represented the Lord as to Divine good in the heavens; Aaron himself the Lord as to the Divine celestial there; and his garments the Lord as to the Divine spiritual there proceeding from the Divine celestial (n. 9814); and “fine linen” denotes the Divine spiritual that proceeds from the Divine celestial (n. 5319, 9469).

3876. Because I have borne him three sons. That this signifies what is successive, is evident from what was said above (n. 3871). The successive state that is here signified by the “three sons,” is that charity now arrives; for while man is being regenerated, that is, being made a church, the first thing must be for him to know and understand what the truth of faith is; the second must be to will and to do it; and the third is to be affected with it. And when man is affected with truth, that is, when he perceives delight and bliss in acting according to truth, he is then in charity or mutual love. This succession is what is here meant by, “I have borne him three sons.”
