1 Και ελαλησε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην λεγων,

2 Λαλησον προς τους υιους Ισραηλ και ειπε προς αυτους, Οταν εισελθητε εις την γην της κατοικησεως σας, την οποιαν εγω διδω εις εσας,

3 και καμητε προσφοραν δια πυρος προς τον Κυριον, ολοκαυτωμα, θυσιαν εις εκπληρωσιν ευχης η αυτοπροαιρετως η εις τας εορτας σας, δια να καμητε οσμην ευωδιας προς τον Κυριον, ειτε εκ των βοων ειτε εκ των προβατων,

4 τοτε ο προσφερων το δωρον αυτου προς τον Κυριον θελει φερει προσφοραν εξ αλφιτων απο ενος δεκατου σεμιδαλεως, εζυμωμενης με το τεταρτον ενος ιν ελαιου·

5 και οινον δια σπονδην, το τεταρτον ενος ιν, θελεις προσθεσει εις το ολοκαυτωμα η την θυσιαν, δι' εκαστον αρνιον.

6 Η δι' εκαστον κριον θελεις προσθεσει προσφοραν εξ αλφιτων, δυο δεκατα σεμιδαλεως εζυμωμενης με το τριτον ενος ιν ελαιου·

7 και οινον δια σπονδην θελεις προσφερει, το τριτον ενος ιν, εις οσμην ευωδιας προς τον Κυριον.

8 Εαν δε προσφερης μοσχον εκ βοων δι' ολοκαυτωμα η δια θυσιαν προς εκπληρωσιν ευχης η δια ειρηνικην προσφοραν προς τον Κυριον,

9 τοτε θελεις φερει μετα του μοσχου εκ βοων προσφοραν εξ αλφιτων, τρια δεκατα σεμιδαλεως εζυμωμενης με εν ημισυ ιν ελαιου·

10 και θελεις φερει οινον δια σπονδην, το ημισυ του ιν, εις προσφοραν γινομενην δια πυρος, εις οσμην ευωδιας προς τον Κυριον.

11 ουτω θελει γινεσθαι δι' ενα μοσχον η δι' ενα κριον η δι' αρνιον η δια τραγον.

12 Κατα τον αριθμον τον οποιον θελετε προσφερει, ουτω θελετε καμει εις εκαστον κατα τον αριθμον αυτων.

13 Παντες οι αυτοχθονες θελουσι καμει ταυτα κατα τον τροπον τουτον, προσφεροντες προσφοραν γινομενην δια πυρος εις οσμην ευωδιας προς τον Κυριον.

14 Και εαν παροικη μεταξυ σας ξενος η οποιοσδηποτε ειναι μεταξυ σας εις τας γενεας σας, και θελη να καμη προσφοραν γινομενην δια πυρος εις οσμην ευωδιας προς τον Κυριον, καθως σεις καμνετε, ουτω θελει καμει·

15 εις νομος θελει εισθαι δια σας τους εκ της συναγωγης και δια τον ξενον τον παροικουντα μεταξυ σας, νομιμον αιωνιον εις τας γενεας σας· καθως σεις, ουτω θελει εισθαι και ο ξενος ενωπιον του Κυριου·

16 εις νομος και μια διαταξις θελει εισθαι δια σας και δια τον ξενον τον παροικουντα μεταξυ σας.

17 Και ελαλησε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην, λεγων,

18 Λαλησον προς τους υιους Ισραηλ και ειπε προς αυτους, Οταν ελθητε εις την γην, εις την οποιαν εγω σας φερω,

19 τοτε οταν φαγητε εκ των αρτων της γης, θελετε προσφερει εις τον Κυριον προσφοραν υψουμενην.

20 Θελετε προσφερει αρτον εκ της πρωτης ζυμης σας, εις προσφοραν υψουμενην· καθως την προσφοραν την υψουμενην απο του αλωνιου σας, ουτω θελετε υψωσει αυτην.

21 Εκ του πρωτου της ζυμης σας θελετε δωσει εις τον Κυριον προσφοραν υψουμενην εις τας γενεας σας.

22 Και εαν σφαλητε και δεν πραξητε παντα ταυτα τα προσταγματα, τα οποια ελαλησε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην,

23 κατα παντα οσα προσεταξεν ο Κυριος εις εσας δια χειρος του Μωυσεως αφ' ης ημερας ο Κυριος προσεταξε και μετα ταυτα εις τας γενεας σας·

24 τοτε, εαν γεινη τι εξ αγνοιας, χωρις να εξευρη αυτο η συναγωγη, πασα η συναγωγη θελει προσφερει ενα μοσχον εκ βοων δια ολοκαυτωμα, εις οσμην ευωδιας προς τον Κυριον, μετα της εξ αλφιτων προσφορας αυτου και της σπονδης αυτου κατα το διατεταγμενον, και ενα τραγον εξ αιγων εις προσφοραν περι αμαρτιας·

25 και θελει καμει ο ιερευς εξιλεωσιν υπερ πασης της συναγωγης των υιων Ισραηλ, και θελει συγχωρηθη εις αυτους· διοτι εγεινεν εξ αγνοιας· και θελουσι φερει την προσφοραν αυτων, θυσιαν γινομενην δια πυρος προς τον Κυριον, και την περι αμαρτιας προσφοραν αυτων, ενωπιον του Κυριου, δια την αγνοιαν αυτων·

26 και θελει συγχωρηθη εις πασαν την συναγωγην των υιων Ισραηλ και εις τον ξενον τον παροικουντα μεταξυ αυτων· διοτι πας ο λαος ημαρτεν εξ αγνοιας.

27 Εαν δε ψυχη τις αμαρτηση εξ αγνοιας, ουτος πρεπει να φερη αιγα ενιαυσιον εις προσφοραν περι αμαρτιας·

28 και θελει καμει εξιλεωσιν ο ιερευς υπερ της ψυχης ητις ημαρτησεν εξ αγνοιας, οταν αμαρτηση εξ αγνοιας ενωπιον του Κυριου, δια να καμη εξιλεωσιν υπερ αυτου· και θελει συγχωρηθη εις αυτον.

29 Εις νομος θελει εισθαι εις εσας δια τον αυτοχθονα μεταξυ των υιων Ισραηλ και δια τον ξενον τον παροικουντα μεταξυ αυτων, οταν αμαρτηση εξ αγνοιας.

30 Η δε ψυχη ητις πραξη αμαρτημα με χειρα υπερηφανον, ειτε αυτοχθων ειτε ξενος, ουτος καταφρονει τον Κυριον· και θελει εξολοθρευθη η ψυχη εκεινη εκ μεσου του λαου αυτης.

31 Επειδη κατεφρονησε τον λογον του Κυριου και παρεβη την προσταγην αυτου, η ψυχη εκεινη εξαπαντος θελει εξολοθρευθη· η αμαρτια αυτης θελει εισθαι επ' αυτην.

32 Και οτε ησαν οι υιοι Ισραηλ εν τη ερημω, ευρον ανθρωπον συλλεγοντα ξυλα την ημεραν του σαββατου.

33 Και οι ευροντες αυτον συλλεγοντα ξυλα εφεραν αυτον προς τον Μωυσην και τον Ααρων και προς πασαν την συναγωγην·

34 και εβαλον αυτον εις φυλαξιν, επειδη δεν ητο οτι φανερον τι επρεπε να καμωσιν εις αυτον.

35 Και ειπε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην, Ο ανθρωπος εξαπαντος θελει θανατωθη· πασα η συναγωγη θελει λιθοβολησει αυτον με λιθους εξω του στρατοπεδου.

36 Και πασα η συναγωγη εφεραν αυτον εξω του στρατοπεδου και ελιθοβολησαν αυτον με λιθους και απεθανε· καθως προσεταξε Κυριος εις τον Μωυσην.

37 Και ελαλησε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην λεγων,

38 Λαλησον προς τους υιους Ισραηλ και ειπε προς αυτους να καμωσι κρασπεδα εις τα ακρα των ιματιων αυτων, εις τας γενεας αυτων, και να βαλωσιν εις τα κρασπεδα των ακρων ταινιαν κυανην·

39 και θελετε εχει αυτην εις τα κρασπεδα, δια να βλεπητε αυτην και να ενθυμησθε πασας τας εντολας του Κυριου και να εκτελητε αυτας, και να μη διαστραφητε κατοπιν των καρδιων σας και κατοπιν των οφθαλμων σας, κατοπιν των οποιων σεις εκπορνευετε·

40 δια να ενθυμησθε και να εκτελητε πασας τας εντολας μου, και να ησθε αγιοι εις τον Θεον σας.

41 Εγω ειμαι Κυριος ο Θεος σας, οστις εξηγαγον υμας εκ γης Αιγυπτου, δια να ημαι Θεος σας. Εγω ειμαι Κυριος ο Θεος σας.

7978. 'And they baked the dough which they brought out of Egypt - unleavened cakes' means that from the truth of good further good was produced that had no falsity at all in it. This is clear from the meaning of 'baking' - when used in reference to the truth of good, meant by 'the dough' - as producing; from the meaning of 'the dough' as the truth of good, dealt with above in 7966; and from the meaning of 'unleavened cakes' as forms of good that have no falsity at all in them, since 'unleavened' means without falsity, see 2342, 7906. This is the second state of truth from good that they passed through when they were delivered, see above in 7966, 7972. The reason why 'cakes' means forms of good is that they are cakes of bread, and 'bread' in the internal sense is the good of love, dealt with in 276, 680, 2165, 2177, 3464, 3478, 3735, 3813, 4211, 4217, 4735, 4976, 5915. But bread in the form of cakes is distinguished from bread in general, in that bread in the form of cakes means the good of love towards the neighbour, which is spiritual good, while bread in general means the good of love to the Lord, which is celestial good. Such spiritual good was meant by 'the minchah' which was offered and burned with the sacrifice on the altar; for 'the minchah' was baked into cakes and into wafers, as is made clear in Exodus 29:2-3, 23-24, 32; Leviticus 2:2 and following verses; 6:20-21; Numbers 6:15, 19; 15:18-21.

[2] Something similar was meant by 'the twelve loaves of the presence which too were baked into cakes, described in Moses as follows,

You shall take fine flour and bake it into twelve cakes; two-tenths [of an ephah] shall there be in one cake. And you shall place them in two rows, six in a row, on the clean table before Jehovah. And you shall put pure frankincense on each row, and it shall be loaves of bread serving as a memorial, a fire-offering to Jehovah. Leviticus 24:5-9.

From these instructions it becomes clear that 'the loaves' meant what was holy, for such instructions would never have been issued but for that reason. And since they meant what was holy they were also called in verse 9 of the same chapter 'holiness of holinesses.' 1 But these loaves meant the good of celestial love, and their being baked into cakes meant forms of the good of spiritual love. From these verses and from those in the references given above it becomes clear that something similar is meant by the bread in the Holy Supper.

3735. 'And clothing to wear' means being joined to Divine Truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'clothing' as truth, dealt with in 1073, 2576, Divine Truth here since the Lord is the subject; and from the meaning of 'wearing' as making it one's own and being joined to it. As for the nature of the internal sense of the Word, that becomes clear from these and all other details; that is to say, when the sense of the letter refers to bread and to clothing, and also when it does so within historical narrative, as here in 'If God will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear', the angels present with a person at the time have no thought at all of bread but of the good of love, and in the highest sense, of the Lord's Divine Good. Nor do they have any thought at all of clothing but of truth, and in the highest sense, of the Lord's Divine Truth. To them such things as are referred to in the sense of the letter are simply objects for thought regarding heavenly and Divine matters, for such things are vessels existing in the ultimate degree of order.

[2] So when with holiness of mind a person thinks about bread - for example, when he thinks about the bread in the Holy Supper, or about the daily bread in the Lord's Prayer - that thought which he has about bread serves the angels present with him as an object for thought regarding the good of love which comes from the Lord. For the angels do not take hold of anything at all of the person's actual thought concerning bread, but instead their thought concerns good; for such is the correspondence between the two. It is similar when with holiness of mind a person thinks about clothing. The angels' thought in that case concerns truth. So it is with everything else in the Word. From this the nature of the joining together of heaven and earth by means of the Word becomes clear; that is to say, the joining together is such that when with holiness of mind anyone reads the Word he is joined by means of such correspondences more closely to heaven, and through heaven to the Lord, even though that person's thought is concerned solely with things in the Word which are stated in the sense of the letter. His holiness of mind at that time is the product of the influx of celestial and spiritual thoughts and affections such as exist with angels.

[3] So that such influx might exist and from that influx man might be joined to the Lord, the Lord has instituted the Holy Supper where it is explicitly stated that the Lord is the bread and wine. For the Lord's body means His Divine love, and the reciprocal love in man, love such as exists with celestial angels, while His blood in a similar way means His Divine love, and the reciprocal love in man, but love such as exists with spiritual angels. From this it is evident how much of the Divine there is within every individual part of the Word, though man does not know what that Divine content is or the nature of it. People however who, while in the world, have led a good life enter after death into cognitions and a perception of all those things, for at that time they cast off earthly and worldly things and take to themselves heavenly ones, and have, like angels, spiritual and celestial ideas.
